Episode Synopsis

Are the protests you see on TV truly grassroots — or are they paid for? Joe Pags sits down with Adam Swart, the controversial CEO of Crowds On Demand, a company that literally hires people to attend protests, rallies, and public events. In this no-holds-barred conversation, Joe challenges Swart on everything:• Why do clients pay for crowds?• How does this shape media coverage and public opinion?• Do the hired protesters even believe in the causes they’re representing? Swart defends the practice as modern PR. Joe presses on whether it’s manufacturing consent. 🔥 A fascinating look inside the business of paid activism — and how perception can be bought in America. 🎙️ Listen, then decide for yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
