Who is Funding Protests in America? Schweizer on "The Cats Roundtable"


Who is funding the large-scale protests in cities across America against immigration enforcement by ICE? One name that continually pops up is Neville Roy Singham, a China-based American who poured more than $160 million into U.S. direct action groups after selling his company to a fund partly owned by China’s sovereign wealth fund.

Author Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and is the author of three #1 bestselling books dealing with China’s influence operations in the US. He joined The Cats Roundtable program with John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby to expose the foreign money networks funding organized protest groups in American cities and left-wing political campaigns inside the United States.

“You have some people that don’t like Trump showing up and waving placards, but then you have the really organized effort. These are groups that are highly trained, and are funded,” Schweizer told Cosby. “And what they’re interested is not just protesting. They’re interested in what they call ‘direct action,’ which a lot of us would translate as ‘violent acts.’ This is throwing projectiles at the police and engaging in vandalism. These are groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. They’re small, tight-knit groups, and we know for a fact that these organizations have ties to China.”

“They brag about it. They have pledged allegiance and have fraternal party relationships with the Chinese Communist Party,” Schweizer said.

Schweizer has been reporting since 2024 on a man named Neville Roy Singham, a China-based American who poured more than $160 million into U.S. direct action groups after selling his tech company to a fund partly owned by China’s sovereign wealth fund. Singham’s face even appears on the book cover of Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, Schweizer’s previous book.

Schweizer also discussed the ActBlue scandal, reacting to news from The New York Times that the Democrat Party donation platform did essentially no vetting to reject foreign donors as required by law, and may have lied to Congress about it. ActBlue has lost much of its senior leadership over the scandal. Investigative journalist James O’Keefe was first to expose ActBlue’s illegal activity when he personally visited individuals listed by ActBlue in its required financial disclosures as giving thousands of dollars in small, repeated amounts only to find that the individuals had never done so. Ther scandal has grown significantly from there.

Schweizer told the hosts that mandatory credit card verification should be required of all political fundraising platforms.

In the wake of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s firing by President Trump, Schweizer also addresses an issue he believes she ignored – stronger enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), the law passed in 1938 to stop foreign governments from funding American political movements.
