Paid Protests Are Real — Joe Pags Challenges the Man Behind It
What happens when a former TV news anchor joins the other side and starts a campaign to tell the truth? The left freaks out does everything it can to shut him up. They swatted him. They cancelled him on social media. They did everything they could to silence him. It didn’t work.

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.
