Send us Fan MailPaid protesters are real. Adam Swart has been paying them for 14 years.Adam is the founder of Crowds on Demand, a firm that organizes political demonstrations, advocacy events, and public appearances for causes, companies, and campaigns across the country. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on an industry most people don't know exists and makes the case that what he does is more transparent than most of what happens in politics.We get into how the business started, who the clients are, what protesters actually get paid, and where the line is between legitimate advocacy and manipulation. We also talk January 6th, federal entrapment, foreign influence in domestic protests, and the transparency bill Adam is pushing in Congress that would require full disclosure of funders behind any organized demonstration.This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a business. And this episode explains exactly how it works.cameronbrownshow.comSupport the show
