At today's House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's (R-FL) questioning of sanctuary state governors was interrupted by Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) who objected to her line of argument.
00:00I yield back. Will the gentleman yield? Gentleman yields back. Chair recognizes Ms. Luna from Florida. Mr. Chairman, Pointy McCree, did you skip me in the order on purpose? Just curious. It must have been an oversight, Mr. Moskowitz. Well, this is the oversight committee, which has lots of oversight. Gentlemen, gentlemen, please. Chair recognizes Ms. Luna. You know, suppressing free speech. It's Ms. Luna. Thank you very much, Chairman.
00:22First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to educate the American people on what's really happening right now with these riots.
00:31So I see right now there's a lot of back and forth and finger pointing, but the fact is that there is a financial tie to these riots, tied to immigration, that actually leads right back to the Communist Chinese Party.
00:42Straight up, the L.A. riots have been organized by an organization dubbed PSL, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, funded by billionaire Chinese activist Neville Singham, who spends parts of his year by living in Shanghai.
00:57In addition to that, although he is not a registered foreign agent, he accepts a lot of money from the CCP and then turns around it and funnels it right into some of these violent protests that we're seeing.
01:09But it doesn't just stop there. This is not the only organized protest that's using brown people and immigrants as a ruse to push their communist and Marxist agenda.
01:19Mr. Walts, thank you for coming in today to testify, or Mr. Walts.
01:23Real quick, is it true, yes or no, that you are speaking at the June 14th Twin Cities No King rally?
01:32I can't confirm that right now. That could be true.
01:34Okay. Just so you know, they're advertising you speaking there. The graphic's actually on X right now. I'd be happy to provide it for you, so I'll take that as probably speaking.
01:44Is it true also, I know on your campaign, that you had admitted to visiting China anywhere from 15 to 30 times, sir?
01:52Yes or no, please?
01:53I did live in China.
01:56No, no, visiting, sir, in addition to living there.
01:58Yes.
01:59All right. Also, too, I'd like to note that during your time in Congress that you filed for a $5 million earmark that actually was secured, $2 million of it, went to the Harmel Institute that actually collaborated with the Wuhan Institute.
02:11Also, the Department of Homeland Security, sir, just to you, so that you're tracking, actually had an internal memo that was released that stated that the government of China considered you a prime target for influence operations.
02:23I'm letting you know that now because I do believe that you should be made aware of, if you are not already, that you are working with and going to be speaking at an organization and rally that not is just funded by Christy Walton, the heiress of Walmart,
02:37but also has ties to the Chinese Progressive Association largely funding it that actually brags on their website that they are pro-Maoist.
02:45Also, too, funded by the National Endowment for Democracy.
02:48I know there's a lot of people on this committee that don't like billionaires interfering in politics but say nothing when George Soros gets over $260 million from USAID through the last administration that's then funneled into some of these nonprofits and organizations.
03:00So, I guess my question for you guys is, now that I've made you aware that these riots are not about illegals and they're not about immigrants, if they did, they would have been protesting under Barack Obama, who's also dubbed the deporter-in-chief.
03:09And frankly, I think many of you would say that Barack Obama was a good president. Are you going to say that Barack Obama wasn't a good president? Yes or no, Governor Walts, do you think he was a good president?
03:19Do I think Barack Obama was a good president? Correct.
03:22I think he did a good job. Okay, how about you, Governor Pritzker?
03:24I think he did a good job, yes. Hochul? Hochul?
03:28Hochul, and yes, he did do a good job. Okay, next. Perryman?
03:32I think President Obama did a good job.
03:34So then you would understand that Barack Obama had the very same policies, for the most part, on immigration that Republicans are parroting today, and yet you guys are sitting here saying that we're Gestapo.
03:42And what I would tell you is that what happens with open borders is that the real people that are coming here, the ones that are exploited, actually it hurts people on both sides, not just Americans, but the illegals.
03:50Some of you had said here to the actual committee that you are doing what you can to assist these people.
03:56But what I would say is that your policies aren't actually done from a place of understanding and sympathy, I would say that it's actually doing the exact opposite.
04:04And when you use brown people, just like they use black people with BLM and Marxists during BLM to usher that in, when you use brown people and you put Mexican flags with them saying that you stand up for illegal immigrants, but you follow the money and it's going back to the Communist Party,
04:16what you're essentially doing is using your platform as elected officials, a trust that the American people have put in you, essentially to usher in communism.
04:23You're not actually fighting for American values. Don't roll your eyes because it's a serious topic and that's where the money's coming from.
04:28So now I'm informing you, so now you guys can make your decisions, but please be informed, sir, Mr. Walls, that if you truly do uphold the American ideologies and perspectives on the Constitution,
04:38you should not be speaking at that rally. I've given you the correct information and as of right now, I've authorized a letter to be sent to my office
04:44to the President of the United States to rescind millions of dollars in funding that we know are going to the No Kings protests that were authorized and basically given under the last administration.
04:52That is what Congress is supposed to do, not point fingers, not blame people, but actually ensure that the American people are protected and not fighting for foreign interests, foreign governments, and also the Communist Party.
05:01Will the general lady yield for a question?
05:03No.
05:04You don't want to tell us what your evidence is of all these connections?
05:07Actually, no, I will yield to that.
05:09You know, I appreciate it.
05:10Mr. Goldman, you'll get the last minute to the book.
05:11Let me answer the question.
05:12But you'll appreciate we might want actual evidence.
05:15I would be happy to provide that, and I'd also be happy to inform Chairman that actually we have a letter of which you can sign on to.
05:21I know you like to sign on to letters with us, especially on the Epstein stuff.
05:24But we actually have a letter going out to Neville Singham on Friday, and it's actually signed by every single member of Oversight.
05:31I'd like to extend that to you because that letter is calling him to testify, and it's also calling for his financial transactions.
05:37And do you agree, sir, that we should not be accepting money from the Communist Chinese Party?
05:41I think anyone on this platform would agree that that should not be accepted.
05:44Correct?
05:45I would like for you to actually present evidence rather than just, quote, inform the witnesses.
05:52And now that they're informed, they should assume what you say is true.
05:53Look, look, I don't disrespect you.
05:55I'm going to answer your question.
05:56We are having a hearing on it where we can present all the evidence.
05:59No, but let's have this done.
06:01Yeah, go ahead.
06:02You recognize Ms. Luna.
06:04We are going to be having a hearing, and you can gavel on to the hearing.
06:07I'd appreciate you to do it because the fact is that the Democrat Party, remember-
06:10Is it going to be as good as the Biden impeachment hearing?
06:12Mr. Goldman, you'll have five minutes in a moment.
06:14Let's focus real quick.
06:15Well, Mr. Chairman, she's out of time.
06:17I just need to try not to let me talk.
06:19Guys, if you guys want to talk about it, I'll answer the question.
06:21But Mr. Singham is also funding Code Pink through his wife.
06:24You know, it's my-
06:25Can we ask Elon to divest from China while we're at it?
