EXCLUSIVE: The hidden $250K machine of 9 paid vendors behind the 'flagship' #NoKings protest in St. Paul, Minnesota I followed the money behind the No Kings protest in St. Paul, Minn., and uncovered an estimated $250,000 paid to 9 vendors to produce an event that was about the size of a Def Leppard concert. Sources said that the Democratic nonprofit Indivisible paid the bill. It didn't respond to numerous requests for comment. How did I piece this together? Well, I have a rule when reporting on the protest industry: be the first there and one of the last to leave. That’s how I met Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. production manager Matt Svobodny, one of the very nice hard-working members of the production crew behind the scenes in St. Paul, as they were breaking down the set for the No Kings protest, long after Bruce Springsteen and most of the anti-Trump protesters had left. He was straightforward, candid and matter-of-fact about what it takes to throw a protest and, a few days later, guided me -- and you -- through the warehouse where Slamhammer stores the equipment it pulled out for the protest. He provided the kind of transparency that the secretive nonprofits behind the protests should actually be providing to citizens and the media. See for yourself: ➡️ the mobile stage ➡️ the speakers ➡️ nearly a mile of heavy-duty feeder cable used to distribute electricity throughout the rally site and the ballistic ➡️ bullet-resistant barriers that shielded the Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, TIm Walz, Ilhan Omar, Randi Weingarten and the day's other bold-faced names WATCH the video that I recorded ⬇️ Thank you to Fox News Digital's Hannah Brennan for her work editing the video. In our new Fox News Digital exclusive, I lay out how the "flagship" protest in St. Paul wasn’t spontaneous, like most of the media reported. It was professionally engineered. And that raises a bigger question: When protests look like productions…who’s really behind the curtain? I answer that question in the article and the thread below 🧵👇 A former Obama and Biden administration political strategist and campaign operative Roger Fisk takes credit for being the "Senior Advisor to the #NoKings flagship event," fine-tuning the "art and science" of throwing the St. Paul protest, along with two other "No Kings" protests last year. Fisk didn't respond to a request for comment. The protests have parroted Chinese government propaganda, demonizing America as a "fascist" nation and Trump as a "king." Partners in the protests were pro-communist groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, a tech tycoon living in Shanghai. DataRepublican (small r), You'll want to read this. READ: Behind the scenes, I identified 9 vendors that were paid an estimated $250,000 to construct the protest: ➡️ Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. — mobile stage, 100-speaker sound system, lighting, 1,700 ft cable, ballistic barriers → estimated $100,000 ➡️ Fire Up Video — 4 jumbo screens → estimated $20,000 ➡️ Algorithm, an AV company — 2 jumbo screens → estimated $25,000 ➡️ Common World Productions — 2 LED stage screens → estimated $10,000 ➡️ Warning Lites of Minnesota — bike-rack barricades → estimated $15,000 ➡️ E5 Energy — generators, electrical distribution → estimated $15,000 ➡️ Ultimate Events — tents, chairs, tables → estimated $30,000 ➡️ On Site Companies — ~300 porta-toilets → estimated $25,000 ➡️ Fast Kat Connects — high-speed internet → estimated $10,000 Total: an estimated $250,000. This wasn’t a rally that just “popped up,” as CNN reported. It was built, truck by truck, cable by cable, screen by screen. 🧵 with how it worked.

EXCLUSIVE. Who is funding the anti-Trump #NoKings protests? It's 198 companies with $2.1 billion in revenues. WATCH and READ to learn. I wanted to hear it straight from the source—so on Tuesday, I tuned into a live town hall with AFT’s Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚, Reverend Al Sharpton Sharpton from National Action Network, and @LeahGreenbergB of Indivisible Guide ❌👑. They proudly laid out the nationwide anti-Trump protests they’ve planned for this Saturday, June 14, under the banner #NoKings. I recorded the town hall—and I’m sharing the video with you here. They admit they’re organizing these protests. And they’re not grassroots players. These are top-tier Democratic Party operatives, with enormous influence and funding. But when I started following the money behind the full list of protest "partners," I realized that these three are just the tip of the iceberg. According to research by the Pearl Project—a nonprofit journalism initiative I lead, named in honor of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl—the 198 organizations that say they are organizers of the #NoKings protests are not just grassroots citizens. They're all aligned with the Democratic Party, and many claim to be “nonpartisan” despite acting as political operatives. Together, these groups report more than $2.1 BILLION in total annual revenue. 🔹 Read and share my full breakdown Fox News Opinion Fox News: 🔹 Explore the database here: (Enjoy, DataRepublican (small r), and share with me any recommendations to make this better!) Why follow the money? Because from Los Angeles to D.C., we’ve seen these protests escalate into violence—and we must understand who’s behind them to understand why. These aren’t mom-and-pop protestors. This is an elite class of political influencers using nonprofit structures to operate like a shadow government. Just look at their annual salaries: 🔹Randi Weingarten: $474,951 🔹Al Sharpton: $648,786 🔹ACLU’s Anthony Romero: $1.3 million Fairfax County citizen Lissa Kenkel 🟦 Nurit 🇮🇱🇺🇸, who helped me cull the financial data, puts it well: “The very people bankrolling and leading these so-called grassroots movements are the crowned royalty of the nonprofit world, sitting in their air-conditioned offices, collecting six-figure salaries, while encouraging the common folk to torch their own cities in the name of ‘saving democracy.’" "It’s manufactured chaos, sold as revolution, by people who wouldn’t last five minutes in the rubble they’re creating.” Here’s the #NoKings protest funding breakdown, and I'll list all the groups in a thread: 🔹 3 official entities of the Democratic National Committee: College Democrats of America, Manhattan Young Democrats and Westside Democratic Headquarters in Norwalk, Calif. 🔹 16 Democratic political action committees, or PACs, including Friends of Bernie Sanders, Progressive Democrats of America and Vote Blue — with about $19.4 million in spending power for Democratic political candidates. 🔹 18 Democratic-aligned 501(c)(5) labor unions, including lead organizer, the American Federation of Teachers, along with the United Auto Workers, the Communications Workers of America and the National Treasury Employees Union, with a total of $1.1 billion in revenues, most of their political contributions going to Democratic candidates. 🔹 76 Democratic-aligned 501(c)(4) political nonprofits, including the ACLU, Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters, Working Families Organization Inc., Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and lead organizer Indivisible Project, all with another $734.3 million in revenues. 🔹47 501(c)(3) nonprofits, legally restricted from partisan advocacy, including innocuous-sounding groups like the Unitarian Universalist Association, Accountable US and the American Humanist Association, with $286.7 million to the cause. 🔹38 additional Democratic-aligned groups, including Michigan Resistance Coalition, Families Over Billionaires, 50501, Tax the Greedy Billionaire and Mennonite Action, with undisclosed financials. TOTAL: 198 groups with $2.1 billion in annual revenue behind #NoKings But this isn’t just about June 14. Many of the same groups also organized earlier protests like #TeslaTakedown, #HandsOff, and #MayDay. In those protests, we identified 267 more organizations with a combined $1.3 billion in annual revenue. That brings the total to: 🔹 475 organizations 🔹 $3.4 billion in annual budgets 🔹 All aligned against Trump’s movement And we’re not done. My database includes another 1,500+ organizations—many involved in anti-Israel protests, anti-ICE demonstrations, and other coordinated mass mobilizations. Stay tuned for those results. This is not a grassroots movement. It’s a billion-dollar machine dressed in protest gear. If you want to help turn this database into a user-friendly public app, please contact me at [email protected], DM me, or visit to support this work. Our vision at the Pearl Project? A Carvana for the protest industry—a searchable, transparent tool that helps moms, cops, citizens, and journalists understand who’s behind the chaos in our streets, using the best practices of AI, natural language processing and gumshoe reporting. Thank you for your support!
