So the man who untangled exactly how the money is getting from Roycing him to this pill grimage by these radical leftists, including Ilhan Omar's daughter, exactly how the money got from Roycing him to Ilhan Omar's daughter, is a man named Stu Smith. He's an investigative analyst at City Journal, which is a publication of the Manhattan Institute, and he has done phenomenal work tracing the origins of this pill grimage. So we are proud to welcome him to the show for the very first time.

1:02Today, please give him a warm welcome. Stu Smith joins us. Stu, it's good to have you. Yeah, I'm happy to be here. All right, so this is phenomenal investigative work on your part to untangle. I mean, it is complex and it is convoluted to actually find the trail from Roycing him through all of these groups to their final destination. And you've done a very good job on this. If you could give us the rundown of tying, basically tying the train between Roycing him and Ilhan Omar's daughter, please, the floor is yours. Yeah, so Percy attended this People's Forum Brigade. So all of this happened under this umbrella of the Nuestra America convoy. And so Nuestra America is a old kind of Cuban nationalist term. That means our America. And it comes from a Cuban thinker from like 1891.

2:04And this is a guy who's like so far back in history that like he's a political at this point. But the Cuban regime uses him as like, hey, he was right about anti-imperialism. And so from the get go, this whole brigade is based around anti-imperialism and progressive internationals involved who has a member of their board who is literally Fidel Castro's niece. What? So that's kind of that's like the way that's yeah. So that's the frame that we have to remember that like like if you look at like you gov reporting on how the average American feels about Cuba, only 12% of Americans think favorably about the Cuban regime. And so this is this like this whole idea that Cuba is managing their country well is nonsense. No, no, the average person believes this. Their electrical grid system that produces the blackouts is Soviet era technology.

3:09So like the average person should be asking like why hasn't Cuba upgraded their tech in 40 years? I mean that's the that's so like that's what I wish these independent journalists you know in quotation marks like us on Piker were asking the the people they're meeting in Cuba. But that's not the case. But the thing is that when you have these brigades go to Cuba, they're based around kind of like affinity groups sometimes based around ethnicity. And that's been the structure since the weather underground went to Cuba back in the 60s. So nowadays they're typically a youth brigade and LGBTQ brigade. There might be like an international brigade like in my reporting, they branded one as the influencer brigade. That's this one, right? And so Elhan Omar. Yeah, Elhan Omar's daughter and Hassan Piker was at the influencer brigade or what did they brand themselves as?

4:11So she was on the youth brigade that the people's forum sponsored. And if you look at the people who are yeah. And so she was in and so other people in that would be like top leaders from the Palestinian youth movement. So like Aisha Nizar was there and she kind of went viral. I reported on this for targeting the F-35 supply chain to hurt our military and also hurt the milit, like everyone involved in the F-35 program, which is like 12 plus countries. So if you are hypothetically a Chinese billionaire trying to undermine the American effectiveness in our allies, targeting our supply chain is a way you would do it. And you know, PYM is also in this Singham network. And so this youth brigade got there earlier. So they were there in like the middle of the week. And they went to the Centro, that's Spanish for Center, the MLK Centro.

5:12And they did like special little trainings. They met people. They had like a elongated programming. In years past, a lot of this programming is like super propaganda where it's like, did you know Cuba's cured cancer and diabetes and Alzheimer's and like that's part of their programming, like past people's forum brigades to Cuba have done that. Now because there's no oil fuel on the island, they can't do that, like go out to these specialty little Potemkin villages to do this kind of like immersed propaganda. But she was there from the get go with Manolo. You can see other people who are like high level leftists, even had college professors there. Like in the video you played, the first woman you see painting is actually a Rutgers professor. What? Ericat. Yeah, so I mean, if, yeah, you really need like I always kind of feel like Charlie Day and always sunny with like my conspiracy map.

6:13Yeah. Because it's you really need like a giant like mural of like your conspiracy board to connect all the dots. But I mean, it's, it's on, it's, it's just crazy. It is crazy. So the DSA, we've talked about the DSA frequently on this show, especially in the last six months or so. I guess a little bit more than six months since before the election because when DSA was obviously they were very supportive. So Ron Mondami is a member of the DSA. This is their strategy, right, to kind of take over, to infiltrate and take over the Democrat party so that they can put these socialist Marxist anti-Americans in these positions of power. Talk to me about the DSA's connection to Roy Singham. President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years.

7:14But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. Yeah, so when it comes to Never Roy Singham and the DSA, it's not going to be as like crystal cut. You can definitely see a lot of people who have like overlap with each other. You know, there was a niece who was, his Singham's niece was working on the Mondani campaign, but the thing that I would kind of focus on when it comes to like DSA, Cuba, and this kind of broader like New York-based wing is that at the start of the year, 2026, Maduro gets captured, and then all of a sudden you start seeing

8:14DSA signing on to answer coalition protests. And that's typically, that's always been a little bit atypical. DSA has historically kind of distanced themselves from PSL party for socialism and liberation because they're a Marxist-Leninist organization. But summer of 2025, DSA actually becomes majority communist, like actually communist. I know like when conservatives hear this, they're like, well, they're communist already, aren't they? But like you have to think of this in the way that the DSA views themselves. So you have two wings of the DSA, a wing of the DSA that believes in kind of Nordic style, social democracy, winning elections, and then you have a wing of the DSA that's very much inspired by anti-imperialism, third-worldism, global south, and like the historical movements that come out of that. So that could be anything from Cuba, to Palestine,

9:20to Hezbollah, anything in that kind of malism, anything that's in that kind of contingent of anti-imperialism. And so, 2026, you start seeing answer people's forum, DSA, sponsored events, national protests. So like the one that just happened around Iran was answer coalition, DSA, even indivisible, and then NIAC, which is a Iranian advocacy organization that people, most people see as regime, pro-regime. So that's kind of where we are now with it, where it's like they're in this kind, they're making broader coalition with openly, with people's forum and answer. It's, I mean, it's always, it's always the same people, like it's always the same people behind all of this unrest in the United States. So I mean, what's on the horizon? Given like what you've reported, what's on the horizon for the summer? I mean, not to sound. I mean, the weather's warming

10:20up. A lot of times that does correlate with like the protests ratcheting up because it's not as unpleasant for these people to be outside. Are these socialist communist groups? Like what are they planning? Are they planning to ratchet up their riots and their violence here in the United States this summer? What do you foresee? So one thing to keep an eye out is Mayday and what the activism's going to look like around that. So that's going to be like pan left. So you will certainly see a Mayday brigade go to Cuba. That's sponsored by the National Network on Cuba. But you will also have like here in America, Mayday protests. I'm seeing a lot of action in like higher ed, academia about doing something around Mayday. You know, they really are trying to build up their muscle for the 2028 strike, a general strike in 2028. So any sort of labor-affiliated activism they can do between now and then they're very much working on. So Mayday is going to be big in Cuba space.

11:23Fidel Castro's birthdays coming up. So they're going to likely have a big action there. Brigades going down. Assadish occur memorial as well. So there's going to be a lot of Cuba, pan Cuba. And just keep in mind that whenever there is some sort of tragedy they can exploit or international event. The DSA actually has a rapid response team. Yeah. That goes into effect decides what they're going to do and is like that. And on like the PSL, Singham Network Front, if you live in a major city you should look up if there is a liberation center. So like if you live in like Durham, North Carolina, there's a liberation center. Philadelphia has a liberation center. What is that? Those are the, those are pretty much the people's forum. It's, yeah, so it's a PSL office. And so that's, you know, when you see these protests go out into the streets,

12:24the signs get made overnight. They're being made at these liberation centers. So they do like an art build on a Friday night and they have the signs ready for the next day. So wherever you are, you know, people watching the show right now, look up on Instagram right now, type in your city and liberation center and see if there's a PSL office near you because they're very well might be. I think you would be surprised. They have so many offices. That is shocking. That is, I mean, we knew that they were that coordinated, right? The media always tells us that that these are grassroots or organic or, you know, people just reacting to something that they don't like in petitioning their government, but it's not. It's obviously highly organized here. So go back to the money, the money trail for a second. So I think there's a lot of feeling among the right of like, okay, but what do we do about this? You know, if we look up and there's a liberation center, like, what are we supposed to do? Just sit here and shock about it because this is all organized all around us. And I always come back to Roycing him as the answer to that because all of this

13:29stuff that they do, whether it's these firearm trainings, whether it's these brigades to Cuba, whether it's organizing and printing signs, like, this stuff takes money. It takes resources. It takes full-time labor that needs to be paid for. If they weren't getting the funding that they get from Roycing him, I think that this infrastructure of very radical leftism, like communism that is trying to infiltrate our country would at least significantly crumble if not evaporate. And it's actually one of my frustrations with Congress. You know, they hold these hearings and, you know, write these letters to Roycing him and say they want to investigate. But can this be stopped? Like, can his money, can the U.S. government stop his money from funding what he fund to the United States? Yeah, I think right now they're working on building a very strong case to be able to take that out. And I think that makes sense. You know, to do things in the legally sound, protected way, that is a strong case. You know, these things take time. You know,

14:34justice doesn't happen overnight. So you have to build the strongest case and have, you know, the skills and means to implement that. You know, the fact that he lives in China, you know, does offer some complexities there. But there are very good people who spend every minute or another day working on this, working on that very question and trying to figure out exactly what we do with that. Obviously, there are things that could happen and reforming the nonprofit landscape. So you can't exploit these kind of legal loopholes. You know, keep in mind that the IRS and the division that would be looking at this very issue and having oversight over these nonprofit groups is severely understaffed. You know, whenever I say we need to staff the IRS, I think people think I'm crazy and that we're going after ordinary people. No, we are totally not. When we say that we want to staff the IRS, we want very just sensible people to be looking at

15:41these nonprofits and saying things like, well, what does this really mean? Like, you can look, like, hey, I invite your audience to do this. You can go on probe publica, you can look up a nonprofit and look at their 990 form. And so you can go through that and you can see who's on the board, you know, where they're spending their money, are these people getting a salary, you know, even to how many hours a week they claim to work. So these are things that like ordinary people can do to just look at this nonprofit sphere. And what we want are professionals to be scrutinizing these 990s and making sure that the goodwill of having a robust nonprofit industry is not being exploited for foreign influence campaigns, which is what's happening right now. So that's why I'm always the biggest advocate for staffing the IRS, not to go after the citizens of this country,

16:42but to go after the bad actors exploiting this wonderful industry that's supposed to be aiding the American people, not destroying it from within. You might be the only person on our side who I've ever heard advocate for more staffing at the IRS. Your reasoning is sound, but I'm sure you know it's going to be met with skepticism. Rightly so, we've all been targeted by the IRS because of our conservative beliefs, you know, you have liberty in your nonprofit name and they come after you, I refuse to, we all know this happened under the Obama administration. Okay, so you track these, this is what you do for a living, you track these radical groups. Give us some examples of these, I guess, strategy calls where they plot the overthrow of the government and they always use this word, they talk about it being capitalism, but it's really the American government that they're talking about here. Give us a sense of what you're seeing and hearing from some of these like internal strategy sessions that they hold. Yeah, I mean, these, I look at everything pretty much under the sun when it comes

17:48to the left. So some major ones I've seen of late, there was a Villanova professor who was talking about using Villanova as an engine for communism and making the university like enforced communist belief at Villanova, you know, Catholic University. And he's actually speaking at one of these liberation centers in Philadelphia tomorrow. So if people want to go out and see him, do they have two days at those at those events? If he's speaking at the liberation that are like, can anyone go? Could we go? Yeah, I mean, theory, it's open. I mean, it's, they're advertising it. And I think that's the thing where, you know, it was great to see on Fox News today, Azor Nomani going to the People's Forum and confronting Manolo and Brian Becker. I mean, they almost never had any sort of pushback and it's funny to watch them scream, you know, McCarthy and run down the street to get away from her. But, um, but yeah, so that's something I've seen

18:52of late, uh, with Professor Rockhill, you know, I'm tracking a PFLP. Yeah, Gabriel, Rockhill. Okay, okay. And he's actually a student of Derrida, the absurdist kind of postmodernist thinker. So he actually has like a very in, in leftist sense, like, like a insane pedigree, academic pedigree, but, um, doesn't stop the communism from infiltrating his brain here. I know, I know, but, but I'm tracking a PFLP conference. So that's popular front for liberation Palestine. Um, so that's on the more like terrorism sense. And, you know, there are a ton of calls coming up on a regular basis. So we have a No Kings Day coming up on Saturday. And that's kind of been one of those questions that we have and leftist space where there are people, like,

19:53even on the DSA who think it's nonsense to even go to these No Kings Day protests because they see it as resistance libs who just want to scream for the day, but won't actually take the next step for revolution. But there are far leftists who are trying to create like militancy and those No Kings Day spaces so they can win people over. So that's kind of like a dialectical kind of disagreement, but there is still the possibility that there are insane radicals in these No Kings Day movements who are trying to build that base for something more extreme. So that's something that I'm watching out for as well. And then just kind of keeping an eye on everything the DSA is doing. So like, there's good, there's like a radical kind of wide DSA call happening this week around Venezuela. So they're going to be meeting with uh Venezuelan contingency. So that should

20:57be interesting to see as well. It should be very interesting. Okay, let's circle back to where we started this episode, which is Ilhan Omar's daughter. She's not a hugely, I mean, she's not a household name at this point. Obviously, it's scandalous, the story is scandalous because of who she is, the daughter of a sitting U.S. Congresswoman who I would argue is not a valid U.S. citizen because of her father's lies on his claim for asylum back in the 1990s here. But talk to me about, talk to me about this young woman is rehearsing Ilhan Omar's daughter and what, I mean, she wasn't just sent because she's the daughter of a U.S. Congresswoman. She was sent because of her on, in a sense, her own merits in the communist space. Talk to me about her. Fox News is now streaming live on Fox One. When it matters most, turn to the voices you trust. We go beyond the headlines, bringing you the stories you won't hear anywhere else. Live coverage, sharp analysis, real perspective, at home or on the go. Stay

22:01connected when it counts. Stream Fox News on Fox One. Download today. Yeah, I mean, she's an open communist. She has it in her Twitter bio. And, you know, she's been pretty active in activist space. She founded a nonprofit based around environmentalism. It seems to have gone belly up. She was arrested at the Columbia encampment. And it seems like the people's forum really reached out to her. She, you know, on her Instagram stories like an hour ago, she posted like a big thank you to the people's forum for inviting her out to Cuba. So it's concerning to reach out to her. That's actually very interesting if they invited her because of who she is. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And keep in mind that the State Department did tag the people's forum as a Chinese influence, you know, up. So, you know, the fact that her mother is then like even endorsing it is

23:07a major concern. But this is what they do. So like even going back to the 1960s, there's been some, like I go through, I read all the far left text. So like I read an interview with a weather underground member and they were talking about the vetting process to even go on these brigades. So they actually were vetting to see how radical you were as a prerequisite to qualify for the brigades. Wait, what did they ask? Even how radical you are? Like how did they determine that? Um, you know, one of the big disagreements that they had back in the day, they had two major disagreements. There were people who were going on these brigades who felt that the men in Cuba were misogynist towards them. So there was like this feminist concern. And so then they got, so a lot of these women who went were called racist for that back in like 1970. So that was part of the text. And then the other thing was that there were still people who were like, well, we're

24:11trying to win hearts and minds through nonviolence. And the weather underground was like, no, no, no, we're going to Cuba so we can meet the Vietnamese revolutionaries so we can learn how to do violence. So that was another thing. It was like the question of violence and the movement was one of the, you know, prerequisite, prerequisite questions that they were asking. And I am always reminded every time we hear about the weather underground, I'm always reminded just of who was part of the weather underground. Like Bill Ayers, right? Barack Obama's political career was born in his home in Chicago. He's a current professor at a university in Chicago. Like these individuals are not, not what I would describe at least anymore as like fringe of the Democrat party. Like these people, these radicals who want to use violence, who overthrow the United States government because they are communist are now the mainstream part, not necessarily of the Democrat voting electorate, your average Democrat on the street casting their ballots for, you know, other Democrats. They're not necessarily as violent. But I think they just don't realize

25:14that the mainstream part of the Democrat party, it's not like the party of the working class anymore. It's not even the party of Bill Clinton. Like it is made up primarily of people like Ilhan Omar and Bill Ayers. Yeah, I mean, Bill Ayers has been doing like even immediate blitz because of the attention that one battle after another has gotten. And that line actually comes from a speech that his wife gave about, you know, being a militant organizer and who is also part of the weather underground. Yeah, and so Bill Ayers always has this like yearly conference in Chicago, the socialism conference. So that's going to happen in like September. And, you know, he's, I've been in the Zoom call with Bill Ayers and Medea Benjamin of Code Pink before. So, I mean, they do know each other if you are for those who are curious. But yeah, there is this major issue where the Democratic Party doesn't have this immune response to this rampant militancy and extremism

26:23that's happening. And you can even hear like more milk toast, DSA members, openly kind of gloat that they will primary democratic politicians who they don't like. And we saw this in New York City so it can happen anywhere and that they run on the ticket because they can. And if they need to run as an independent, they can. And their whole strategy right now is to just build socialist power. That is a big part of their platform. They have lots of ways. They can do it. And remember that this is they they are still technically an organization. So that's how they kind of exploit the system of we run as dims when we want to. We run as independence as we need to. I think we even have a few cases of them running as Republicans just because it was easy. Yeah. Oh, I didn't even know that. It doesn't happen very often. I think it's like twice. It's happened. Oh, man. Still, that's terrible. Listen, just just to draw the the connection. Medea Benjamin that you mentioned

27:26co-founder of CodePink. It was she and Jody Evans that co-founded it. Jody Evans is the wife of the now wife of Roycing. And I think they got married maybe 10 years ago. Semi recently for their ages. Medea Benjamin on this phone call, the Zoom call that you were on with Bill Ares, a member of the weather underground. Medea Benjamin, this is a very odd connection. And I wonder what you know about this. Medea Benjamin also has a friendship with believe it or not, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the now former Congresswoman. And it's a very strange very strange bedfellows because ostensibly the friendship is about like anti war solidarity. And yet we know that's not what CodePink is about. I mean, CodePink perhaps used to be a little more anti war in their activism. But since Jody Evans married Roycing, I mean, CodePink used to speak out against the abuse in China against the Weeger Muslims. And then as soon as Jody Evans married Roycing, and started getting Roycing a money, funding her group, suddenly China is just like this,

28:26this beacon that should be copied. There's no criticisms that come from Jody Evans about the Chinese Communist Party. What do you make of that friendship between Medea Benjamin and Marjorie Taylor Greene? You know, it's honestly at the end of the day, gets back to this kind of like anti imperialist framing. And so on the left, it's anti imperialism. On the right, it might be called more like non interventionist. And I think we can add like a debate about that. But for like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who probably is privy to a lot of information, not nowadays, but at one time had been privy to more information, to not like want to like put a hand in that woman's face to push her away is kind of beyond me. She's like buddy, buddy, buddy up with her. I mean, it's concerning. And I think the at the end of the day that there is this overlap in that ideology, where we start to get to the horseshoe, where the ends meet, where it's like, okay, you effectively

29:30are saying the same thing. Like I saw Tucker recently said something that there are no, you even invoke like anti colonial, like rhetoric recently. And I was just like, oh God. Yeah, saying that we with the election no longer be the sole arbiter of terms and that we should like share power with the Chinese Communist or something. I saw that too. Okay, that's so interesting. We could do a whole other episode. And maybe we will at some point on this. This is unbelievable reporting. I know everyone wants to know where they find you reporting. I know that you have some other stuff coming down the pipeline that people are definitely going to want to once that's up and published. So where could people find you online? I suggest my Twitter at the stew, stew, stew studio. It's a riff on the old Phil Collins song. But if it's not a story in the city journal, I post a lot of video content. So I think video is how you win people over. So a lot of movement calls, you can see it for yourself. I want you to see

30:31the evidence. That's my whole stance. Like I'm trying to show you what they say. And they are digging their own hole when it comes to the insanity that they preach. Yeah. And by the way, I will tell you guys, I only have probably a handful of ex accounts on notification that like I'll get a push notification when any when someone tweets. And his is one of them because of the content that he posts. So could not recommend that more highly a very sincere recommendation. Not just not just a promotion. Stu Smith, thanks for being on the show. We'll have to have you on again. This was great. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Yeah, you too.
