• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Welcome to The Truth with Lisa Booth, where we get
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to the heart of the issues that matter to you. Today,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we are talking about the chaos in France as we
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: watch rioters set the country on fire. We're going to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: dig into all of it and get to the truth
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with investigative journalist Asrat Nomani. She writes for Fox News Digital,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and her latest reporting has exposed a sprawling network of
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: communist organizations, radical left-wing activists, and pro-Palestinian groups that are
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: helping to organize and amplify these riots across France and Europe. Now,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: she's identified more than 100 organizations across nine countries, which
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: raises serious questions about who's behind this unrest, who's funding it,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and why.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned for Asra and Amani. Well, Esra, it's great
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to have you on the show. You are doing amazing
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: work for Fox News Digital, really digging in to the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: chaos that we're seeing take place in France and elsewhere
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in Europe. So really appreciate the work you're doing and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: also taking the time for the show.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Lisa.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I'm so happy to work at Fox News Digital and
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: basically do what I love to do and do it
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: for a living.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just... I feel... Like, this is really
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: noble work that we're doing. Well, it absolutely is.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And, you know, we are all watching in astonishment, looking
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: at the chaos and the rioting taking place throughout France.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: A lot has been attributed to why this started, what's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: driving it, but you've really been digging in to a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: lot of the financial aspects of it as well and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the coordination aspects. What do you, from your research and
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: your investigation, what is driving these protests?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Why are they happening?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So for your listeners that might not know, I
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: worked at the Wall Street Journal for 15 years and
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I covered everything from the commodities market to the airline industry.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: So I have always looked at the world through the
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: lens of business. And that's exactly how I approach this
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: mayhem that we're seeing. When I see those signs in
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Paris and throughout the country, I see signs and signals
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of the enterprises behind that chaos. And that's why I've
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: coined this term for our thought process and all of
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: this of calling it Chaos Incorporated, because it is a
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: network of organizations that has unleashed these foot soldiers onto
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: the streets for very clear mission statements. And so it's
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: just like covering a company. You want to know, oh,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: it's Coca-Cola. They're trying to sell beverages. You know, the
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: United Airlines, they're trying to fly people around the country and.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Around the world.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: What are these organizations trying to do? So I always
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: dive into the mission of all these organizations. And what
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I've learned now, Lisa, over a second round of research
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that we just published today at Fox News Digital, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: can see it on our website, foxnews.com, is that there
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: are 101 organizations that have unleash these foot soldiers onto
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: the streets of France and are planning to do more
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: protests this weekend and into November. They are connected through
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: ideological purpose as communists and socialists and far left organizations
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: working together with some Islamist organizations that have their singular
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: mission of destroying the state of Israel. and replacing Western
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: democracies with their visions for Islamic theocracies. And so the
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: big picture is that what looks like just mayhem and
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: spontaneous outrage even on the streets is part of a
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: established infrastructure of organizations that has mobilized people across national borders.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: And they are a well-funded, well-coordinated, well-established enterprise. Their goal
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: is the overthrow of democracy as we know it and
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: the pushing of a model of economic enterprise that can
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: be called socialism or communism, but it would be the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: end of free enterprise as we know it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: The start of these protests, was that organic, do you believe?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And then these groups capitalized off of it? Or did
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: these groups, you know, encourage the start of the protesting
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and rioting?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Lisa, it's such a great question. And I have
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: had to check myself too, because the A real important
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: lens through which I would encourage everyone to look at
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: all news and all and these protests is what is
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the narrative that's being shaped? And immediately they shaped this
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: narrative as student protests.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But what they actually.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Were, was these far left political parties and communist groups
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: using their student and youth chapters to weaponize issues within
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: the educational system as the grievances for which these young
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: people would go out on the streets.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: So it was a very clear political agenda.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: There's a, party uh that the the um translation is
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: france unbowed but the acronym is lfi i don't have
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: enough french honor to throw all these french names at
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: you with fluency.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: But i can't even order a french wine without butchering
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it so i'm like i'll.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Get the mouth back isn't that french yeah exactly exactly.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: You know right um.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Lisa, it was LFI that has unleashed its
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: student and youth chapters. And there is this iconic picture
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: that some people might have seen, and it was of
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: a mayor.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: And he is.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Standing in between the students and the police. And he's
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: shielding the students like he's a guardian of the youth.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: And that was the mayor of this political party that's
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: trying to win in the presidential election. And so they
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: are using students and youth as a Trojan horse for
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: their political agenda. And that is what is being replicated
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: again and again.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Importantly, that's what the data shows.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Of the 101 organizations, 33 are student or youth-led and
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: 68 are adult-led.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: So only one.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Of three organizations, even on the streets today, are youth
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: and student-led. So it is really the adults with the
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: very adult imaginations of the rebellion and the overthrow.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Of the government as we know it that are driving this.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: And then how do they coordinate? Oh, it's just fascinating.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's again, money, money, money. Because Right now,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: there is a website, and it is the mobilization for
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: this Saturday, November 20th. There's going to be another— sorry, not
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: November 20th, October 24th. I'll just check the date real fast.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: But anyway, this Saturday, there's going to be another protest,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and there's a great map. I've linked to it. Yeah,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: it's October 24th. It's called Oct2.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Org. So I had to search Google Translate and ACTE
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: is Action.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: 2 in French.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: And they have put on this amazing geo-coded map in
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: which you can put your city and street and find
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: out the mobilization action in your neighborhood. And so they
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: have 212 planned mobilizations at my last look. I checked,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you've ever done WHOIS searches, but
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: basically you can find out when a website was purchased.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: It was an anonymous purchase in September of this website.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: And then there's going to be another action November 20th,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: and that is being led by the socialist communist groups
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: throughout Europe. It's going to be a across Europe, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: they purchased their website domain in October. And they coordinate.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I'm in one of the Telegram chats. They don't use
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Signal so much over there. They're in Telegram, and I'm
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: getting notifications about where to meet at this street corner
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: and that street corner. And so it's like, think about the,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: you know, any, and this is what I love about
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: looking at all of this from a business lens, it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: a logistical operation. You know, they get all their addresses,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: their locations, their permits when they need them, you know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: their signs pre-printed.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: It's a machine. It's a protest machine.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And, but more now we see with the rioting and
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: the vandalism, it is a insurgency on many levels. And
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: that is exactly the intention of these very revolutionary communist organizations.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: You know, and France has an upcoming presidential election.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Was that sort of the intention? of the timing of this?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You know, how much do you think the upcoming election
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: played a role in kicking these off?
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just because if we just think about the politics
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: of France, some people would say, oh, my gosh, France
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: is already a socialist country.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: What more did they want?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Right. Macron, he's a liberal president. He's from the liberal
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: party there. What more do they want? Well, they want
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: it all. And the protest was exactly timed in order
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to build this momentum before the election.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: And it's very unlikely that they are going to win,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: but it's.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: As successful for them to get the conservative Marion Le
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Pen in office, because then they will have a demagogue,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: just like the left uses in the United States with Trump,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: to galvanize and rally their people, make more money, build
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: the agitation.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And because their goal is chaos.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: And I think people cannot underestimate how important it is
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: for them to create this These images and all of
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: the footage of fire, fire, fire, the West in flames.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: The other really important element of this is that obviously they're,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: you know, communist and socialist.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: So what are those governments right now?
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: It's Russia and China that are the closest that we have.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: to powerhouses of that level. And they are further than
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: this concept that is called maligned foreign influence in the West.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Creating the image of chaos and instability and even forcing
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: instability is a win for foreign adversaries.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: You know, and we talk about the Red-Green Alliance, Is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that sort of the ideological bent of these groups, these
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: 101 groups, or what is sort of the ideology that's present.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I know we've seen a lot of Palestinian flags thrown around.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: You know, what do we know about the ideological leanings
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: of the groups driving this?
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we, so this is like my dream right now,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: because I literally wrote a book, right, on the Red-Green
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Alliance called Woke Army. And I have on one corner,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: the hammer and sickle on one corner of the podcast,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: cover is the hammer and sickle and on the other
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: corner is the Islamic crescent and star. And so for
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: anyone who doesn't know, the red represents the communists and
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the leftists and the green represents the color of Islam.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And so ironically, those two colors together also are in
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: the flag of the Palestine cause. And That is why
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: we see the Palestine flag go up in these monuments.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: We don't see the flag of France go up for
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: their vision for their nation. They put up the Palestinian
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: flag because what we now are seeing on the streets
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: for several years now is the convergence of the red
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: and the green in an effort to destabilize the West.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: They have several goals.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: One is the destruction of the state of Israel for
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: the green part of their alliance. And then the second
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: is the destruction of the West for the red part
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: of the alliance and the green part of the alliance.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: And so together they are united in their enemy.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And the irony of all this is obviously we are
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: at war right now with Iran and And the entire
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: reason Iran went into chaos is because of the red-green
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: alliance that overthrew the Shah many, many decades ago.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: So how relevant is that to what we're seeing play
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: out today and also what could possibly play out or
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: is playing out here in the United States?
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is the greatest irony of what is happening
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: today is that There's a couple elements that are so ironic.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Ayatollah Khomeini actually led his revolution to overthrow the Shah
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: of Iran from France. He distributed cassettes in those days
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: of his sermons and his propaganda to rally Iranians to
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: overthrow the Shah. And just like you said, he... worked
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: together with the socialists and even, sadly, the feminists in
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Iran to foment the revolution that brought him to power
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: in 1979. And one of the tragic first acts that
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: he did was to imprison and kill the socialists and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: the feminists.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: And the rest is history.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: We've now had almost five decades of the tyranny of
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: the Islamists over the Iranian people.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: The man named, a man by the name.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Of Ali Shariati was one of the socialist intellectuals that
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: aligned with Ayatollah Khomeini and he's dead.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: You know, he was quickly killed.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: The feminists that thought that they were going to be
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: free from, quote, the tyranny of the monarchy ended up
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: in a new theocratic tyranny. And so the reason why
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I do this work is because that has been the
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: dynamic I have observed through my lifetime. And I, as
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: a Muslim, have known more freedoms in the West than
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I could ever know in the Islamic Republic of Iran
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: or really any Muslim country.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: The idea that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: There can be even liberal values practiced with this kind
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: of vision between communism and Islamism is a joke. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: it's complete delusion on the part of anyone who thinks
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: that it will end well for society.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: You know, people are worried about affordability and various issues
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: of economics that must be resolved by rational thinkers. But
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: what has happened, Lisa, just like you said, is a
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: repeat of history.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: And our.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: World really could see more nations coming. fall to that
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: kind of new tyranny if people are not aware. And
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: that's why at Fox News Digital, we've named the names
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: so that you can see the receipts yourself. You can
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: see the names. You can be convinced. You can go
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: look at the mission statements, look at their hammer and
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: sickle flags, look at their crescent and star logos and
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: the Palestinian flag as they're rallying cry. And you can
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: see the evidence yourself that this is a very strategic
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: network that has very clear political goals that are about
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: undermining really liberal democracies as in the most traditional term
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: that we know with individual freedom and even freedom of
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: religion and freedom of speech, you know, simple ideas that
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: most people would agree we need to preserve.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: You know, and if you look at in Iran, after
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the Shah was overthrown, a lot of the communists were
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: killed or jailed, just for people to.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Know how a lot of this ends. You know, I
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: wanted to ask you, you had mentioned that you're Muslim.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: You know, when you look at Islamists and you look
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: at these terrorist regimes, part of the reason people are
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: that way is because that's all they've known. And that's
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: what they've been taught from... you know, birth and beyond.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And we see here in the United States a lot
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: of indoctrinating that's happening in our schools and with our youth.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: How hard is it to break that indoctrination? Well, it
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: is always possible.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: You know, indoctrination is that battle for the hearts and
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: minds of people. And nations and civilizations have waged many
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: battles like this. That is how we have democracy today.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: That is how we have simple freedoms that we know today,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: like the right of a woman.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: To vote, you know, the right.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Of people to have equal access to buildings, the right
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: of people to all be, anybody can be elected to
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: political office, you know, irrespective of their identity, you know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: for the most part.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And, you know.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: And I can't be president of the United States, so
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: I know you're very disappointed to hear.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't want the job to be. Exactly.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I can barely handle this stress in my own life.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know how Trump's doing it. I know. Good
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: thing they ruled that one out for me. Nor would
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: they pick me, but besides the point, I don't want
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: that stress.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good that we get eliminated on some point
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: or the other.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: You know, these freedoms that we know are the result
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: of these ideological battles and anything can be accomplished. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: have seen in my lifetime that Saudi Arabia, for example,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: transformed the way that they have practiced Islam. Remember, there
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: was a time when a woman wasn't allowed to drive there.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: They wouldn't have those comedy shows. Like it is not
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: the full freedoms that I would hope for, for somebody
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: in that country, but it is.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: A new reality.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: And so in Islam also, we are in a battle
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: of interpretation and ideology. And there are many people who
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: will say Islam is Islam is Islam. But you know,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: every religion has had these battles of ideology and interpretation.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: And that's what really drives me, Lisa, in trying to
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: understand the ideology of these organizations. Because they are waging
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: a battle for the hearts and minds of our youth, especially.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: And the real challenge, of course, for all people is
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: to have better ideas, right?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: And to create better futures.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: And so important issues like, you know, being able to
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: buy a home or being able to get a job,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: like those are issues that rational people must resolve so that,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: the fanatics don't win in society. And my efforts over
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: these last decades has been to challenge those fanatical extreme
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: misinterpretations of Islam. And I do believe that it is
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: possible because people are practicing in a way that the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: ideologues and the mullahs don't preach from the pulpit.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately, it's not the normative. And that's what I
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: hope one day will happen.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Before we go, you know, I know the Trump administration's
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: been looking into some of these shadowy networks and individuals
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: like Navelle Roy-Singham, which I know you've reported a great
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: deal about. Do we have any update into how some
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: of these investigations are going?
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really great point that you're making.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: You know, Marco Rubio went to Europe and he talked
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: about the far left network as a challenge for the world.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: And that was.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Really important foreign policy position that he took. In the
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: United States, the Treasury Department has had sanctions against organizations
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: involved in these networks. The Justice Department is investigating this
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: man named Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai as
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: an American, supporting the Chinese Communist Party and bankrolling a
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: network of nonprofits that are today supporting the mayhem in France.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: The Justice Department investigation has led to a grand jury
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: probe in the Southern District of New York, and I'm
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: waiting any day for news out of there. The House
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Ways and Means Committee and Representative Jason Smith have attempted,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: they've held hearings about people violating this law that requires
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: you to register as a foreign agent if you are
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: participating in these alleged malign foreign influence work. And so
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: we've got a lot happening now with the, I think
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: we need to understand that with the midterm election results,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: if the If Congress changes, they won't have the power
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: to do many of those investigations. And we will see
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: then what Justice and Treasury is focused on doing over
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: the next two years.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: But there's a lot of work happening.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: And the biggest overall arching way that I could approach
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: having people understand what is the strategy is if you
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: think back to Al Capone, the man who had a
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: lot of very serious crimes, including possibly murder, The strategy
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that the Treasury Department did at the time with this
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: prosecutor named Elliot Ness was to go after tax evasion.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: And so sometimes that low-hanging fruit and that strategy that
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: I call the Al Capone strategy is the most effective in....
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: You know, defanging these kind of efforts.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: And so that is largely part of the strategy against
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: these nonprofits because they are getting tax benefits as they
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: do these shenanigans.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: That's right. We appreciate you staying on top of all
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: this stuff. I know it's a lot of research, a
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: lot of due diligence that you're doing. So we appreciate
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: you breaking it all down for us and doing the work.
• 24:17
