Best in Show won by the Doberman Pinscher.

The home team, Penny wins best in show for Saint. He wins best in show for Violet. She wins best in show for Leon. I have had Dobermans for almost 30 years, three different Dobermans. Stumbled upon my first one in 1999, the Humane Society Maui Onion Festival display booth. And there was Leon, right there. $40. $30 years later and three Dobermans, Penny brings it home for the home team, Doberman Pinscher,

Best In Show. Thank you, two of days. My wife sent that to me if she wanted me to tell you about it, but you already saw. I got so many texts this morning. It was almost like the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl. So many people texting me about Penny, including Penny's performance this morning on Fox and Friends, incredible. And I recognize, by the way, if you're not out,

out there and you're not a lover of the Doberman. Looking at that contest last night, looking at Penny on the green turf of Madison Square Garden, how you could look out there and you could say it looks like an axe, sharp, sleek, fierce. Where is the personality? Where is the cuddly? Where is the pet inside of Penny? But I think you got to see that as she lounged on the couch at Fox and Friends. and you've got to understand something about a doberman. A doberman will literally cut you with their eyes, with the sharpness of their ears that look like blades.

And at the same time, be the biggest couch cuddler you've ever seen in your life. Fierce to the stranger, soft to the family. Congratulations again to Penny. celebration this morning by Saint and Violet. Azar Nomani is a Fox News digital investigator, previously with the Wall Street Journal. She put a piece up recently that begins to dig into the organization and the money and the actual men, the human beings, the billionaires behind. The professional protest organization in Minneapolis. But not just in Minneapolis, you see the same players, you see the same tactics.

You see the same techniques multiple times from the streets of New York City to perhaps protests across the world. And she's answering a question that many of us have asked, are these protesters paid? How do they end up with professionalized mass-produced signs? How are the same people showing up in different cities for different causes? And there are answers, which we're about to get here. from Azra Nomani, who joins us now on Will Kane Country. What's up, Asra? Great to have you here on the show today.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much, Will. I always wanted to be a war correspondent. I just never knew it would be in our own country. Oh, what a wonderful, maybe. What a terrible way to characterize exactly what we're watching unfold. That's a fascinating way to characterize it as well, Aser, because I know you've written about this.

You've seen this play. You've seen this playbook in basically war zones in other parts of the world. So what is unfolding in Minneapolis? Yeah, exactly. Well, just to let people know who I am, I was born in India. I grew up in the foothills of West Virginia in Morgantown, West Virginia, became a reporter for the Wall Street Journal. And then after the 9-11 attacks, like a lot of journalists, I went to Pakistan, defying State Department warnings.

And there, tragically, 24 years ago this week, my colleague and friend Danny Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by the insurgency in Pakistan. So, Will, I know it well. You know, I have studied the insurgency in Afghanistan in Pakistan. And my little Maya Kulpa, because I couldn't save Danny's life, was to teach this thing called cultural intelligence to our military and FBI and State Department folks deploying to Afghanistan and Pakistan from about 2009 to 2017. And a lot of those lessons are ones that I am now applying to our streets will. Because what the military and intelligence analysts say to me is that we are facing an insurgency in the United States. All right. When we hear the word insurgency, Azra, we think of Iraq. We think of a

war that has devolved into guerrilla warfare, quasi-ci-civil warfare, domestically within the society, within a civilization, within the environment of something that should otherwise be stable. So tell me more. I actually used that word last week, Aser. I used that word insurgency. But you have much more expertise and experience in making a comparison, apples to apples. So what have you seen over there that you're now seeing here in America? So one of the really critical elements of an insurgency is that it is emmeshed in the community.

And that is one of the greatest challenges that the United States faced in fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and then the Iraqi insurgents throughout the region in the Middle East. So that is clearly happening in the U.S. We have cells in mostly blue cities because that is the way this is ideologically developing of these militants, really, in our streets. And people who are trying to really defeat the United States as we know it. One of the examples that I'll share with you is that what I have come to understand here in the United States is that we have these red cells. So they are self-declared socialist, Marxist, Leninists, and communists. And Will, I only know this because I've been on the streets, you know, and I have studied their signs, their symbols, their slogans, their language. and they have enmeshed in our communities now

so that even the mainstream media does not report them through the lens of their ideology, but just as things like preschool teacher, mom, nurse, you know, these are the characteristics that you have seen now of these anti-ice activists, right? But they are actually ideologically motivated to destroy the United States and the language that they use

is that the United States is an empire and that they are in the belly of the beast and they want to destroy this empire. When you say insurgency, I hear some level of organization is the only tie that binds this domestic insurgency, ideological, is the only tie that binds them a common belief, a common radicalization? Well, that is one critical connective tissue. And if we think about the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, that is what we faced. You know, I am Muslim. I was born into a critically thinking Muslim family. And so you see me here as a manifestation of what is called Muslim reform. But what those ideologies and those insurgencies represented was an extremist interpretation of Islam, right? And so ideology is so critical to understand when we want to figure out how to do this thing called countering insurgency. And so I'm going to walk you through just a few examples that I've picked up on the streets. The first one is as blatant as you can get.

I don't know if it'll show up full on the screen, but what does it say? Socialism beats fascism. And what's critical in all of this is to look at the fine print. And who is it that endorsed this message, none other than the Democratic Socialists of America, which elected Zoran Mamdani? Well, we think, oh, that's innocuous enough. But what they are aligned with is this group called the Workers' World Party. They are self-avowed communists. And the messages that you're going to see here on these first signs are ones that folks will have been familiar with.

over the last couple of years after the October 7th attack by Hamas, Israel apartheid and genocide, funded by the U.S. So the U.S. is the enemy here. And these are organizations that are working with lovely sounding names like Code Pink, an organization that we'll talk more about, but here you can see that they are messaging to go after one of America's allies, Israel. So these are signs from the last couple years. So I want to take us now into how this messaging and the propaganda of this organizations have morphed. Just last week I picked up this sign on their National Day of Shutdown Against Ice. From D.C. to Minneapolis, stop ICE terror. So now the federal government is associated with terrorism. So an insurgency, you

language in order to win popular support. That's so critical and we can see this happening. The narrative war is so critical to an insurgency and again you have to look at the small print because down here at the bottom is the party for socialism and liberation. This is the clear ideological connective tissue between these organizations and then what we have to do next of course is follow the money. me. Forgive me, Osir, for just one moment, as I was just sending a text, I often produced the show as I conduct the show, and I'm not to be honest with you in the audience, the text that I just sent to both my television show staff and to my digital show staff reads as follows, holy this is good.

I just sent that text to both staffs because what you are showing me is, but you're illustrating this. You are holding the signs. You just tell up to me four signs. And let's just let's just, let's talk about the signs for a moment before we go deeper. Okay. Great. Big words. Thank you so much, Will. On each sign.

Well, we're just, we're just being real having a conversation here. Okay, big words, top sign. That's the ideology. That's the salesmanship part. That is the catchphrase. And that is where the casual American out there just sees an image running across their television screen on CNN and thinks, yes. You know, maybe I hold up your random sign, you know, whatever one it may be. be, yes, that's a feeling.

That's something I might be able to identify with. But that, first of all, is incredibly honed. The big top line thing. See? And then... No kings. This is one illustration. You've got one right there.

Let's see that. Yeah. Who wouldn't agree with the idea? No kings. I mean, America was formed against, you know, the British crown. And so they are borrowing from the American Revolution now with this handmade sign, But we'll continue to follow the money and follow the signs. But look then, they just crumple up the American flag, right?

This is not how I treat the American flag. This is what they do with it. Staple it to this sign. And just like you said, Will, it's attractive to people, right? They make it so that they will win popular support. And that's why in Afghanistan and Pakistan, one of the clear elements of our strategy was about winning hearts and minds, because that's what the insurgency had kept. Sure. Okay. All right. Now, but by the way, no kings is one thing, because to your point,

everybody could identify with that, but there's increasingly radical language in those signs as well, you know, to the point where one is, I believe one of them you held upset America is the empire behind genocide, something like that. So it's like a sliding scale of signage, of toplining this, taking you further and further into the radical ideology. But just as interesting and just as important, is the bottom line, as you described it, the fine print. It is the Democratic Socialist of America. It is the Workers' World Party. Who are they, Azra?

So they are a global network of self-avowed socialist, Marxist, Leninist, communists. If our viewers and listeners don't know the ideological differences between these different organizations, it's okay. because they all morph into one after the other. And I found this in Pakistan also, Will. When we were investigating Danny's kidnapping, we went from investigating Lashkaritaiba that morphed into Herkhatal-Majahaddin,

that morphed into Jaishi Muhammad. So, you know, they're all just wearing, they're all wearing different uniforms, but they ultimately have one goal. And in this instance then of this insurgency that the world really faces, but America right now, they are anti-quote capitalist, right? So they are proponents of a system of governance and economy that follows in the ideology of Karl Marx and Lenin. And this is now practiced by governments like the People's Republic of China. Cuba and a name that many people will recognize, Venezuela under Nicholas Maduro.

And so the connective tissue in all of this is a global movement that is seeking to have supremacy through its worldview of a Marxist-Leninist empire. Let's take a quick break, but continue this conversation with investigative journals for Fox News Digital, Azra Namani on Wilcane Country. investing is all about the future.

We're still hanging out with Azra and Damani and investigative journalists at Fox News Digital.

Who's diving into the organizations, the money and the people behind the unrest, the protest, the insurgency in America. Who, okay, it's a global, these, I hear you, these organizations flow, they morph back and forth, they're fluid, but they share a common Indian worldview. Okay, let's take a minute. What is the worldview, ultimately the utopic vision of the DSA or the World Workers Party? What do they want? What is the end game? Well, one of the real critical elements of understanding all of this is, to read their own propaganda.

And, well, what they clearly say is that they want to smash capitalism. They want to open borders. They want all of these policy changes that have been, you know, really on the streets. If people would hear it, they talk about words like liberation. You know, they hijack terms of social justice because theirs is a world. view and an economy that is completely opposite to the free enterprise systems that the West is practicing. So what does that mean? That also means, I'm so sorry, go ahead.

Well, okay, when we think Marxism, we think Soviet Union, for most of us. I'm Gen X. Yes. You know, so is the vision like some reincarnation or a second bite at the apple? of what was failed or with the Soviet Union? Or is it like is always the case when it comes to communism, some utopic vision has never been fully yet realized, but they will be the handmaidens to this realization.

They will deliver this communist utopia. Well, what they talk about in their own language, Will, is that we are in a new Cold War. That's the language that they use. And I completely hear you. You know, we thought the Cold War was over. I lived through the fall of the Berlin Wall. I saw, you know, the Soviets escape Afghanistan.

And what I witnessed as a young reporter was also the communist Sandinistas, you know, in Nicaragua, the regimes that were trying to be installed by that Soviet and communist mentality. My native India was aligned with the Soviet Union through the 80s, and it called itself the non-aligned movement. So those are all terms that I thought were in history. But Will, I watched their propaganda hours upon hours of binge watching when I'm not watching you. And they are all talking that language again. Sorry, but they're talking about the global south now. That's where they put Venezuela.

Cuba and all of these nations that they want to control. Okay. I'm bouncing around, Osra, but I think I can piece it together in my head. And by the way, I'm just going to, I'm being open with you and the audience. I just said, please fly Osra to Dallas to spend an entire hour with me on the Will Kane show. I don't know if you'll fly with those signs because those are pretty embarrassing signs to be carrying under your arm. No, I've got a system. I have to, because I'm going to show you, this is exactly how they do it.

I'm going to show you a small version of it. See, this is how they make their signs. So this is the Minneapolis one, and they're very proud of this now. They print it out, they staple it. They have this long paper. They staple it together, front and back, and then they staple it to these sticks. And so for my TSA-approved signs, I un-staple them from the sticks in order to be able to pack them in a big suitcase. So I've got them coming to your studio, Will.

Now, here's the thing that you're exposing, okay, and it deserves even more exposure, I think, and we're going to continue in this conversation to do so. Look, I'm a firm believer that the news washes over people. It doesn't seep in. It doesn't soak. We don't understand the deeper layers of the news. We often do the news on third base without understanding how you got to third base. What happened on first and second base.

And what you've done now is you're digging into something that's washing over people, these protests in Minneapolis, these science. that we see. And when it washes over you, you're like, these are some very passionate people who really believe that, you know, perhaps through mass hysteria, oh, ice is really mean. But you have a, what you're showing is no, there is a deeper, stick your rudder into the water. There's a deeper current here. And maybe those mass hysteria people are there, but they're being co-opted by people who have a much bigger plan. Yeah, there's no doubt that there are well-intentioned people, you know, who believe that they

doing, quote, justice in the world. I was one of them. You know, at 18, like every good 18 year old, I was a, you know, I thought I was a self-avowed socialist. I thought that, oh, this was going to bring, you know, fairness and equality. I had witnessed so much poverty in the world. And I thought, how could we help the people of the world? Well, all I had to do, Will, was rent, my first apartment from my local socialist professor. And he was a sloth. landlord and he didn't care about the people and he was as unjust as anybody could be and so I saw the realities of this system that is lauded but unfortunately there are so many people that are really well-intentioned on the streets but I want to give just one more example that I was looking

for people aren't going to pick these up but I always do I pay them the dollar through Venmo that they ask for but this is one of the groups that is in Minneapolis right now. It is huge. So socialist alternative. Most people probably have never heard of it. But when you go into their, start flipping the channels, they are trying to promote Zoran Mamdani, right? They are going after the issue of the Epstein files. Like they are grabbing every issue that they possibly can in order to further their cause. And then what's really critical is that at the end of the day, in the fine print, they always talk about the revolution. You know, that is the bottom line in all of these different campaigns. And what I want to just

share with you is that this is the Party for Socialism and Liberation again. They literally use the old school strategy of pamphleteering. Like these are just pamphlets that I picked up, and this is how they spread their gospel. Yeah, but, Ozra, I have to imagine that's their most crude mechanism. If they're doing that, what are they doing online? What are they doing without the fine print? Maybe they like the fine print. I don't know if they want the fine print.

But how many Instagram accounts? How many TikTok accounts? How many viral videos are coming from the same people? Many. And so let's now follow the money. And what is important is to understand one of the financiers of this network. I printed out an article that was shockingly published in the New York Times. It talks about a global web of Chinese propaganda that leads to a U.S. tech mogul.

It's shocking that the New York Times published this article, as much as I've respected their work over time. They too have had an ideological blind spot to this, this radicalism of the far left. But in this article, what they document is a man by the name of Neville Roy Singham, who is an American-born Marxist-Leninist. He made his riches through a tech company called ThoughtWorks, and then he moved to Shanghai.

And from Shanghai, this article chronicles and my own reporting reveals, He has built this vast network. So all of these signs, all of this machine of propaganda is funded by an ideological magnet who is really doing the proxy work of a foreign government that wants to compete with the United States and really defeat the United States in the great economic war and new Cold War

that they envision. How is this connected to what we're seeing on the streets? Neville Roy Shingom's network includes the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Another one of their signs right here, the people will defeat Trump's extreme right agenda. Down in the fine print, Party for Socialism and Liberation. He funds a place called The Answer Coalition, the Answer, I'm sorry, the answer coalition, which is the foot soldiers that are on our streets.

He has funded the People's Forum, which is an incubator in Manhattan for many of these far-left groups. And what have they created? They have created the ICE out of New York network. have created the anti-Israel network, the anti-ice network. And this is how they get talking points and signs, literally, on America's streets. And then, one element that is so critical to understand is that Neville Roycingham has helped fund a media company called Breakthrough News.

of the first videos that America saw from the streets of Minneapolis of Alex Prettie's killing was published on breakthrough news. They are on the streets to do propaganda for this network. And many people don't even know that what they are seeing is part of this incredibly well-funded, well-coordinated machine. Okay, let's talk more about Neversum. So he is American-born but he lives in Shanghai, and he's a billionaire, he's a tech tycoon. How did he make his money? What's his story? So Neville Roy Singham is all in the family on Marxism and Leninism.

His dad was named Archibald Singham. He had Sri Lankan roots, his teardrop-shaped island just south of India, and he grew up in the revolution. Neville Roy Singham joined a communist revolutionary organization as a teenager and then worked in the auto plants at the age of 18 and he ended up channeling his talents, shall we say, into building this technology company called ThoughtWorks, based in Chicago and in 2017, he sold it for up to 700 and so million dollars

and that's when he started constructing this network of organizations importantly that was a year that he married the co-founder of Code Pink the co-founder of Code Pink oh really? Yes

it's this is a soap opera too well so he is in he's in his 70s and a lot of these people Okay Yeah a lot of these people will

are from that generation You know they are from the old Cold War The man who runs the answer coalition Running the Foot Soldiers His name is Brian Becker It's his son That is running breakthrough news And so you know

It's really a family affair Okay let me ask you about this This is and I don't think directly in your reporting But you know One of the names that we often hear about when it comes to these organized protest or the movements behind some of these far left ideologies, George Soros. So do you have that as well in your reporting?

Like, because I'm going to go somewhere with seeing them. Okay, so Soros, I assume, is also playing a role in a lot of these far left organizations. Yeah, what's really important to understand is that there is an intersectionalism, as they like to say. So I've called the socialist groups red. They are, you know, connected to the red color of the communists. Then a lot of the Islamist groups that have aligned with them that are pushing anti-Israel messages, I call green because the color in Islam is green. But what's so important is that there is a red, green, blue alliance.

And so the blue is organizations that are aligned with the Democratic Party. And who are they? They're groups like move on.org, indivisible. Now a new organization called 5501. And these organizations are now in an alliance with the socialist communist groups. And that should really raise red flags for so many people because I grew up with the old Democratic Party And we were all on Team America.

But what has happened is that these far-left groups, the socialist communists, as you can see from the evidence, are here to destroy America as we know it. And so the groups like Indivisible MoveOn.org and others that get money from the Open Society foundations that George Soros has funded are, you know, unfortunately now working together on this common agenda, that is really an existential threat to the United States. Let's take a quick break, but continue this conversation with investigative journals for Fox News Digital, Azra Nomani on Will Cain Country. This is Ainsley Earhart.

Thank you for joining me for the 52-episode podcast series, The Life of Jesus. A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort, and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow now at Fox Newspodcasts.com, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Welcome back to Will Cain Country. We're still hanging out with Azra and Namani and investigative journalists at Fox News Digital.

And beyond sort of the grassroots manipulation of minds and ultimately the putting people into motion as well on the streets of America, playing role in politics. I mean, you held up a sign a moment ago from the DSA, the Democrat Socialists of America. Yes. That's a big part of Zora Mamdani's campaign. So how much of this is also playing an overt role in American politics? Oh, that's such a good question. you asked, well, because that's the bottom line also in United States. Because, you know, people can have their ideological direction, but what impact is it going to have on the future of our

country? And that is a lot. Because what has happened is through the Democratic Socialists of America, a lot of these interest groups have now hijacked the Democratic Party. I saw it many years ago when the emergence of this group called Justice Democrats. And if people have forgotten who Justice Democrats are, that's the group that is aligned with the Democratic. Socialists of America, and it brought AOC, Rashida Taleb, and Ilihan Omar to power. And so these organizations have the White House, the U.S. Congress, our local school boards, and our rent control boards, all in their crosshairs as places where they want to win elections. And why do I know this, well? Because not only am I spending, you know, all my, uh,

late hours in these IRS forms called 990s that are filed by nonprofit groups. But I'm in the databases of the Federal Election Commission because these groups have also started something called political action committees and 501C4s, which do political work. And so they have our election, you know, system also part of their game plan, win. Okay. Let's go back to Minnesota for a moment. You know, Azra, I've seen, you're talking about the minds, the signage, the sloganeering, and the organization. There's also the people, and I have seen viral videos on my own algorithmically provided scrolling feed of some of these guys, and I'm not going to remember some of their names off the top of my head, but who will go to some

of these protests, whether it be in Minnesota or New York, and they see the same people. The causes over a period of years. The cause changes, but, you know, some of the people keep showing up. They're the same protesters, the same people in the streets. So, President Trump has said this. These are paid agitators. The left, the left as characterized by late-night comedians or, you know, whoever may be, says he's saying this without any other. evidence. Let's start with the organizational level and then we'll get to the paid aspect of this. How much of these protesters are professionalized in some way, organized and showing up multiple places, multiple times, while the cause moves. It could go from vaccines to ice.

Yeah, that's why I wanted to bring some of these Israel signs, anti-Israel signs to you, because I wanted you to see that the branding remains the same, but the cause just changes. They just type up a new message and slogan. So, well, what's really important, I always think, is to understand that you use the exact right word that these protests are professionalized. So they try to set the question as, does every individual protester get a paycheck, as if that is the, you know, the thing that we have to prove. But as a journalist, That is not what is important to me. You know, I spent 15 years at the Wall Street Journal covering corporate America.

And what it's so important to do is understand that we have a protest industry. So I cover everything like it's a business, and this is a business. It is a multi-million dollar business, and these organizations have budgets that are multi-million dollar. Their executive boards get salaries, like a typical salary somebody would get from, you know, it could be as low as $80,000, but it can be as high as $250,000. And then they have salaries on different boards, different, they have different revenue streams to use that term. What happens is that that professional protest industry creates the ecosystem and the core system. and the coordinated campaign that then brings people out onto the streets. And Will, what do they use?

They use digital platforms like mobilize U.S. and action network in order to get the word out to the well-intentioned people that then build their army of foot soldiers. But I see the same people emerging. one of the characters that people might know or not is a woman by the name of Medea Benjamin. She is one of the founders of Code Pink along with the wife of Neville Roy Singham. Sorry, my headset keeps scooting. Medea Benjamin will show up and protest after protest.

And then Will, I now know the faces of all those hecklers that she sends into the streets to disturb the dinners of our... Trump administration cabinet secretaries, people with names like Olivia, you know, a former basketball star from college and others, they're familiar faces that we have seen from Columbia University to Minneapolis and Washington, D.C., and then Seattle. They have a professional core that acts like the field marshals for these efforts. And so do they see in your mind, so So how does it, are they the, do they hop in for opportunistically to existing situation? So like, you know, Minneapolis crops up, some protests start, and then, and then they're like, oh, look at this opportunity, go here.

Or are they actually the creators of the moment of the agitation of the protest? Oh, they're the creators of the agitation. So why do I know this? because at about 1 a.m. we started, I was up Friday night and I was working away, had the news on in the background, and I started seeing reports of aerial strikes in over Caracas. So I went immediately to the algorithm, Will that just like you talk about, and I immediately saw a report from breakthrough news. And it had the first video that anybody documented of explosions over Caracas. And then, within an hour, the leaders of the People's Forum and the Answer Coalition

and the Party for Socialism and Liberation had called this strike illegal. They immediately started creating a narrative of America, kidnapping Maduro as details emerged. And Will, by 1 p.m., the protests were on the streets in Washington, D.C. And what did they read now? They read from New York City to Caracas. You know, so they just keep doing this pivot. And just to predict what will happen in the coming days if America has a strike and the Islamic Republic of Iran is removed.

we will see them pivot to pro-regime protests on Iran. Pro-regime. So we will see people on the streets of America waving the Iranian flag in support of the regime. Yes, exactly. And I have already seen the signals. Well, they are broadcasting on social media. If a strike happens before 1 p.m. will protest today. If it happens after 1 p.m., we'll protest tomorrow.

So it's all scripted and choreographed. Yeah, and Will, what's really important to also know is another way that I've figured this out is I've been a reporter in Washington, D.C. for many years, and I know that in order to march, for example, at the Lincoln Memorial, you have to get a permit. So I've gone to the National Park Service and found their permits. And in those permits, you see the organizations. And you see they literally have like a wedding planner, a run of show, Will. And in the run of show, they have everything scripted.

Because if you think about it, this is, you know, organized chaos. And they have to make sure that they have their port-a-johns and their security and their medical tent. And they stipulate all of this in their permit application. How much of this, okay, I'm going to use a word, and that word we're going to have to talk about, how much of this is propaganda? What I mean by this now is not propaganda in terms of driving forward an ideological vision. So, okay, within hours of the mission to capture Maduro, you say, Breakthrough News has video up and they're framing it, you know, as a kidnap. They're framing it, framing it. Framing is huge. Framing, I've begun. going to talk about this more and more in social media, but framing is everything. You tell somebody

what they're about to see before they even see it, and that's how they end up seeing it. You know what I mean? Look at this video, it's awful. But what I'm curious about is now, are they also faking it? Are they using AI? Are they doing things? Like, I've seen a lot of videos going viral that look what ICE has done to this 16-year-old boy. You know, and then it's like the video gets millions of views. And it's only later that you learn, that wasn't ice. First of all, that was Anaheim Police Department. And that was a carjacker, non-illegal immigrant.

So what you saw had nothing. I'm wondering how much the complete misinformation is part of the toolkit. Oh, it's so critical. And, well, going back to, you know, my awakening on this issue and how I understood how real this is, when my dear friend Danny was, kidnapped, we started seeing the propaganda immediately. Danny was an American citizen, he was Jewish, and his parents came from Israel. So they first framed him as not just a journalist, but a spy for the United States as a CIA agent. Then the news broke that

Danny was Jewish, and then they framed him as a spy from Mossad. So they kept shifting to create to win the popular opinion as they need to of this country, of Pakistan, and they could demonize him as a Jew and as a grandson of Israel. And then the propaganda video came out of poor Danny's murder, and they interspersed it with all these images from Palestinian conflicts with Israelis. And so that's my first, like, immersion into the reality of how the propaganda is used. And Will, I just, on that point, I just want to say that, you know, when Khali Sheikh Mahal, the man who kidnapped, or sorry, the man who murdered, allegedly murdered, Danny arrived. He came with two weapons. One was a knife and the other was a camera. And so exactly to your point,

that camera is literally being called a weapon now. So that that's what these anti-ice rapid response teams are using to frame the ICE activities as, quote, Nazi, as genocide against Americans. And what's happened, Will, is that this is coming out of literally a toolkit. I brought this with me also as a little show and tell. I bought this toolkit called Beautiful Trouble. Sounds so great, right? It's using the John Lewis quote about creating beautiful trouble. What is it?

It calls itself a toolbox for revolution. And in this toolbox, Will, pick your strategy. The first strategy that I pulled out to illustrate your point is balance, art, and message. You know, they constantly are talking about propaganda. Bring the issue home. Mass street action as propaganda. You know, tactic after tactic after tactic that is being used in our streets today. Story of self.

us and now, you know, just things that that are just convoluted ideas of winning the narrative warfare. And how did this happen as people can clearly see the morning that Alex Pretti went to the street where there was ice federal and federal activity? I was, I was on signal. I was in the signal chat of these rapid response teams. And my phone was pinging from morning because their rapid response patrol had spotted two federal agents in front of this donut shop. And they sent out a red alert for people to go to the donut shop. So when Alex showed up it was part of this swarm that was directed by this network in order to disrupt harass and basically you know disrupt the activities of the federal

agents the narrative that we got of course was that he was just a nurse who just was walking by and and then got into this this scuffle trying to save a woman So that's the narrative war that America is in right now with this network. Let's take a quick break, but continue this conversation with investigative journals for Fox News Digital. Azra Namani on Wilcane Country. Now streaming on Paramount Plus, it began on the shores of New Jersey. The calls of Jim, tan, laundry, reverberated north to Canada where a new type of party animal resides. They move as a herd migrating to their favorite watering holes, asserting dominance,

by flexing, grinding, and twerking. Coupling is quick, steamy, and sometimes in hot tubs. When morning arrives, they do it all over again. Canada Shore. New original series, now streaming on Paramount Plus. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with Azra and Namani and investigative journalists at Fox News Digital.

So when we see videos, I think we saw videos today is Wednesday, as recently as Friday. Yeah, it was Friday Saturday when a lot of stuff went, not just in Minneapolis, but Los Angeles and everywhere. I would imagine that to some extent is the manifestation of the goal. You have now mobilized thousands of people far beyond your network through the tool and emotional manipulation of this entire playbook. But the question is for you, how big is the professional network? And I'm going to ask you that twofold.

Like, how many people do you think are actually part? and maybe Predi was or wasn't, I don't know. But, you know, we may know people in our personal life. I don't know anybody that showed up to a protest, but let's assume that somebody watching or listening does. And we'll assume for the moment they're not part of this professional network. They just are impassioned by it, right? So they're the win. Ultimately, they're the win.

I got them to march and be a part of this. but how big is the network both financially and a number of human beings that is there regardless of the passion level, that it is there professionally? Well, when I was investigating the No Kings rally and then this other protest movement that is near history now for people, but the Tesla take down efforts, I added up the revenues of all of the organizations that were part of this network. network and will, it added up to more than $2 billion. Because this network includes, yeah, well, because this network includes now labor unions, and they are very well funded. Labor unions like communication workers of America, you know, the United Auto Workers, the teachers unions, of course, I went on June 14th to No King's Rally.

I remember the day because it's Flag Day and my dad's birthday, along with Donald Trump's birthday. And I stood at that park where Sylvester Stallone ran the steps and did the hands up in the air, you know, as rocky. And now that space had been staged for the No Kings rally. And standing in the front in front of me was Randy Weingarten. the president of one of the teachers unions in America paid much a lot of money, multi-million dollar organization. And then Will, I could hear this little perfuffle in the background and I followed it of course being a journalist and who was it there? It was the Palestinian coalition and they were refusing to sing along with the Pledge of

Allegiance and the National Anthth, say the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem, they were heckling, they were yelling against America. And they started coming after me and recognizing me from somewhere or the other, yelling, Zionist, Zionist, you know, harassing me. And I filmed them as so many independent journalists have been filming these protesters in the streets because they represented this vast network. now. They were the far left, the farest far left of the left network. And what had happened is exactly like what you said is that well-intentioned people showed up there and they were part of this new coalition, you know, this new, really, you could call it army of people who were united in their hate for Donald Trump, but being manipulated also for a means that is beyond Donald Trump and the administration, but a conquest really for the United States of America.

Well, it is absolutely fascinating. Asernamani and Fox News Digital has done some of the investigation here. I would love to have you come down here. I would love to do an hour special on this where we can really deep dive and lay this out for people. So don't go on Jesse Waters and lay it out in four minutes. We're going to do it for an hour. We're going to figure it out. Okay. I really appreciate it. You know, when I came to this country, My first best friend was Nancy Drew. And I really believe, like, this is my duty as like a Nancy Drew for America. I'm wearing today, especially for you, Will, the newspaper jacket that I wear into the streets when I go, yeah, when I go into these protests. Because, you know, I don't want to have that big press thing on my forehead, right?

But I want people to know I'm there as a journalist. And this is what we have to do, Will, just like what you're doing. And thank you so much for just allowing me to spell it out because people have to be educated first about and aware about this machine or to not become captured by it. I agree. And you're doing a great job of laying that out for people. Thank you so much, Azra Nomani. Appreciate it. Thank you, Will.

All right, there she goes. She's written a lot of this up at Fox News Digital, so you can check that out. By the way, a lot of you've already commented in. Let's check in with the Willisha really quickly. Sinbad 333 says there are so many groups with different methods. Know your enemy. Please watch Carolyn Borsenko, who has taught us all about the different groups and how they work. This is bigger and more dangerous.

Suzanne Niko says Azra brings the receipts. And then Vic G says another fascinating interview, while Christine says the money they are getting, I would consider dirty money. Just because you get paid doesn't make what you are doing. right. And then Tegie Camps says, I look forward to high noon now besides for lunch or local news. I assume that means hanging out with us, which I totally appreciate. That's right. Every noon. I mean, you don't want to miss stuff like this. This is, we're going to lay this out in deeper detail. I think this has to be laid out in deeper detail on the Will Kane show. We get Azar.

And then there's St. Violet, by the way. Celebrating this morning. Yeah, buddy, celebrating Penny this morning. Nobody knows that Violet is a Doberman. It hurts my feelings and hers. Everybody thinks she's a Weimariner or a Viesla. I could see her as far as like that. She is a Fawn.

Fond Doberman. And then on that note, really quickly, over on Facebook, Pauline Ridgeway says, I got a mini-pinscher now, and I love him. He's the best friend of the dog I've ever had, and I had so many dogs my whole life. This dog is so sweet and fun. That's a wonderful story. That's not a Doberman, though.

A mini pincher. I did used to want to get a mini pincher when I had Leon my first Doberman, and I wanted the full Doberman and then the mini pincher to run around together because I just thought it would be funny. You guys remember that cartoon where, who was it, Spike? And the little dog bounces around the big dog the whole time. Get it a Spike. You're the best spike.

You know, you ever seen that cartoon? I think so. Spike and Chester. I should get a mini pincher just. just to run around with my Dobermans. Fascinating stuff with Asronomani. Absolutely fascinating. Get that up.

Boys, get that up. People are going to want and need to hear about that background right there. Go ahead, Tinfoil really quickly. Real quick, I just want to shout out Suzanne Nico for suggesting her as a guest. So great job, Suzanne and the Wilsha comment section. Producing the show. Love it. See there?

I mean, Willisha? I did do 95% of the work, but, you know, Susanne spotted her. And, yeah. I just want to get you. This is what we deal with. This is what we deal with, Suzanne. Yeah. He works 19 hours a day.

You know, he did most of the work. So, no, I love that. The Willisha, not just contributing comments, but also helping produce the show. Great idea, Suzanne. Thank you so much. All right, that's going to do it for us today here on Will King Country. We'll be back again. Same time, same place.
