Lionel takes a deep dive into the mechanics of mass influence, politics, and the future of voting. He discusses the theories of crowd psychology pioneer, Gustav Le Bon. Lionel argues that the crowd is a single organism driven by emotion, stronger than reason. Discover why political success hinges on creating "vibes" and inspiring imitation rather than relying on spreadsheets or policy papers. Learn how leaders steer the masses—like a murmuration of starlings—using symbols, cinematic images, and collective feeling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He was from Adrianopolis in Bythinia, and took up the ascetical life at a young age. After many spiritual struggles he took up residence on a pillar, where he dwelt for fifty-three years. Crowds came to seek his intercession and counsel, and in time a women's monastery was founded near the pillar. At times an unearthly light was seen to radiate from the top of the pillar, accompanied by thunder and lightning. He owned nothing, and once threw his only tunic down to a poor man in need, leaving himself completely exposed to the elements until a recluse dwelling nearby saw his condition and came to his help.   After fifty-three years, Alypius suffered a stroke which paralyzed half his body, but he continued to live on the pillar for another fourteen years, giving up his soul to God at the age of ninety-nine.

A Thanksgiving Message For Anyone Struggling   Thanksgiving week always makes me pause, breathe, and step back into gratitude, but this year, that feeling hit me in a much deeper way. Maybe it was the timing, maybe it was the experience itself, or maybe it was because of everything that led me here—but this past week in Vegas reminded me exactly why I chose this life, and why I continue to push myself to live amplified, even when it hurts. Our family goes to the Formula One races every year—this was our third—and while we love the energy, the cars, and the whole spectacle of it, it is absolutely not an easy environment for someone with mobility challenges. As an above-knee amputee, I've learned that accessibility can be a coin toss on a good day. Vegas during F1 weekend takes that to a whole different level. Elevators that don't work. Escalators that suddenly shut down. Crowds compressed shoulder to shoulder. Long detours around track barriers. Rain. Stairs. More stairs.     But this year came with a twist. Not only did we pack in a full day of walking, navigating the Strip, dodging people, climbing stairs, and exploring all the fanfare, but that night, after all of that, I finally checked off something that had been sitting on my bucket list for years: going to a Vegas nightclub. And I didn't just go. I went all in—heels, dancing, crowds, the whole thing. What made the night more meaningful was the backdrop of everything my body was going through. My newest socket, trimmed higher because I'd lost some femur during surgery, still hasn't fully broken in. The rubbing along my groin becomes a four-inch strip of fire by the end of the day, the kind of raw, stinging pain that makes even a shower burn. Think blister-on-your-heel level pain, except in a place you can never bandage. Add rain, cold weather, slick sidewalks, and 36,000 steps—the most I've ever walked in a single day even when I had two legs—and you can imagine how I felt by the time we walked into the club. But then the music hit. And the energy shifted. Surrounded by my husband and my kids—my favorite people—and swallowed up in the beat and the lights, I felt alive. Not amputee alive. Not “making the best of it” alive. Just fully, completely alive. In that moment, I didn't care that no one around me knew I was an amputee. I didn't care that all my weight was sinking into my good foot, making my toes tingle with pressure. I didn't care that I had a raw mark on my inner thigh or that I was balancing on heels after a marathon day of movement. I was simply living the moment I had dreamed of for years. And when I finally got home, when I finally took my leg off and felt that flood of relief wash over my whole body, I laid in bed and thought, “This… this is why I chose amputation.” I didn't take my leg off to watch life happen from the sidelines. I didn't choose this path to let pain, friction, or inconvenience dictate my happiness. I chose it to reclaim my life. And nights like that one remind me why I fought so hard to get here. But here's the part I don't ever want people to misunderstand: none of this is easy. I've had people say I make it look effortless, or that they shouldn't complain about their injuries because I “went through so much worse.” But I don't see it that way. I don't compare. I don't downplay anyone's struggle. And I definitely don't wake up immune to the hard parts of this life. What I do wake up with is a mindset that says: I chose this path, so I'm going to show up for it. That mindset is the difference between living fully and shrinking back from life. It doesn't mean there aren't setbacks. There absolutely are. I have blisters. I have raw skin. I have days where I struggle to put my leg on. I have moments where the socket fit isn't perfect. I have times where the thought of stairs makes my stomach drop. But the alternative—the idea of sitting in a hotel room,

Have you ever noticed how protective we get about our spot at church? If you thought ‘yes' don't worry—I've been guilty myself. This week, Pastor Jeff gives the message as we staying in the story of the paralytic, but we're looking at a new perspective—the crowds in Capernaum. Those who showed up early, waited for Jesus, and weren't about to give up their place for anyone… even those in need.But when Jesus shows up, He doesn't address those waiting in the crowd—He uses the friends on the roof the show us what real faith and compassion look like.So here's the question we will be dealing with Sunday: are we making room for people who show up late to the party? Or are we guarding our seat? Let's unpack this together.--For the ONEWebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistConnect with us!How can we prayer for you? Let us know.

The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. If there is any place that captures the raw, unfiltered reality of America's drug crisis, it is The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market. For decades, this neighborhood has been the epicenter of open-air dealing, addiction, and human suffering, an area where people lie on sidewalks, stumble through streets, and inject or smoke drugs in plain view. Sidewalks, parks, and alleys are littered with used needles. Crowds of people slump over, “nodded out,” as if frozen in time. Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It's something you have to see to believe,” one writer observed. “Whatever you've seen on Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, or the evening news doesn't even come close.” The intense episode now streaming on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform. A Marketplace of Desperation Kensington offers something few other places in America do, product variety. Fentanyl, now responsible for most overdose deaths, saturates the scene. Meth and crack mix in for users looking to combine “uppers and downers.” Even retro drugs like PCP have made a return. One user told investigators his typical order was “three down, one hard”, fentanyl for the down, crack for the hard. The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story.  Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . This is the reality former Philadelphia warrant investigator Tristin Kilgallon witnessed firsthand. From the Streets to the Classroom Kilgallon, who grew up near Kensington, spent years navigating these streets as part of the First Judicial District's Warrant Unit. Once a frontline investigator tasked with tracking fugitives, he later left the unit to attend law school. He became a lawyer, then a criminal justice professor, teaching the next generation of justice professionals. “I loved the job, but the danger, the low pay, and the burnout, it wears you down,” Kilgallon explains. “Kensington changes you. You see things you can't unsee.” The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. He now speaks openly about the realities he observed, not just in policing but also in higher education. “There's a lot of myth versus reality in the classroom,” he says. “And too often, the focus is on political indoctrination, not actual education.” The Book: A Real Story of Crime, Chaos, and Brotherhood Kilgallon co-authored the book Philly Warrant Unit with lifelong friend and fellow investigator Mark Fusetti. The two grew up on the same block, reunited professionally years later, and began working side by side in one of America's toughest fugitive-tracking units. “This book isn't a traditional cover-to-cover read,” Kilgallon says. “It's a collection of true stories, intense, funny, tragic, and real.” The authors share behind-the-scenes experiences: tense arrests, tragic overdoses, unpredictable street encounters, and the kind of dark humor only law enforcement veterans understand. Their stories paint an unfiltered portrait of policing Philadelphia during a period when Kensington's drug market became a billion-dollar enterprise and a global symbol of urban decay. The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. His interview can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners crave authentic law enforcement stories. Kensington: A Neighborhood Consumed Kensington was once a thriving industrial hub. When factories shut down during the 1960s and deindustrialization hollowed out the area, poverty, abandonment, and neglect took root. Vacant factories became havens for dealing and drug use. The Market-Frankford Line offered easy access. By the late 1990s, Kensington had become the place to buy heroin on the East Coast. As Kilgallon puts it: “The drug market didn't just appear, it grew like a parasite. And it's been feeding off the neighborhood for generations.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Today, fentanyl, xylazine, meth, and crack dominate. Doctors and treatment centers struggle to help people addicted to substances that often leave them disfigured or near death. Residents face homelessness, encampments, violence, and crushing economic inequality. “Kensington has become the Las Vegas of Drugs,” Kilgallon says. “It's shocking, but it's the truth.” The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. A Real Story Worth Hearing Kilgallon's firsthand insights, on policing, addiction, community collapse, and the failures of both policy and academia, make him a powerful voice in conversations about Kensington's future. His Real Story matters because it cuts through the political noise and media sensationalism.

Whether you've seen snippets on X, listened to interviews on Apple Podcasts, streamed discussions on Spotify, or followed the dialogue on LinkedIn, one thing is clear: Kensington's crisis is not just a headline. It is a human story. A community story. A story with no easy answers. And as Kilgallon's book, career, and commentary show, the only way forward is through honesty, accountability, and a willingness to face the streets as they truly are.

Mark 3:7-19 The Crowds (V.7-12) The Called (V.13-19)

After Friday's meeting between Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani, everyone is asking: who is Zohran Mamdani really? What motivates him: is it progressive cultural issues, or economic populism? Is he woke, or a pragmatist? He won the mayor's seat in New York City with just over fifty percent of the vote, when even the leaders of his own party refused to endorse him. What makes this guy tick?Today's guest is one of the best people, apart from Mamdani himself, to answer these questions. Ross Barkan is a political commentator and novelist who, in a previous life, ran for office in New York City. His campaign was run by none other than Zohran Mamdani. So he has a first-hand knowledge about Mamdani's thinking about politics and governance. He is also a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker who has lived in the city his entire life, and has intimate acquaintances with the nuances of local politics and the different ethnic communities which make up New York City. Shadi Hamid asks Ross about how Mamdani came to have such a mass appeal, even though he calls himself a democratic socialist and openly supports Palestine. Ross agrees that Mamdani's positions on several hot-button issues herald a big transformation in the Democratic Party.Damir Marusic takes a more skeptical position. Do the foreign policy positions of a New York City mayor really matter, or is it all symbolic politics? What Damir is impressed by is Mamdani's talent for politics: his visit to the White House shows that he is a pragmatist, and that he just might have what it takes to do to the Dems what Trump did to the GOP.Since interest in Mamdani is peaking right now, we are making this conversation free for all subscribers. The conversation covers a lot of the nitty-gritty of practical politics. Is it true that keeping Jessica Tisch as Police Commissioner is Mamdani's way of offering an olive branch to the Democratic establishment? What does the appointment of populist anti-monopolist Lina Khan into Mamdani's transition team mean on a political level? And was it a good idea for Mamdani to visit Trump? Finally, Ross makes a case for Mamdani: “Even if you're not a socialist or progressive, he is a young mayor who is willing to take risks and who is willing to hire young people into his administration who think outside the box.”Required Reading:* Ross Barkan's interview with Zohran Mamdani (New Statesman). * Eric Adams' “New York City is the X of America” supercut (YouTube). * Ross' political commentary in New York magazine. * Ross' columns in the New Statesman.* Ross Barkan, Fascism or Genocide: How a Decade of Political Disorder Broke American Politics (Amazon). * Ross Barkan, Glass Century: A Novel (Amazon). * “Lina Khan's populist plan for New York: Cheaper hot dogs (and other things)” (Semafor). * “Defund the police no more: Zohran Mamdani seals coup with deal to keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD Commissioner” (Fortune). * “Mamdani issues broad public apology to NYPD” (Politico).

Crowds from all over gathered there to hear what they had to say and many came to a saving faith in Jesus. Yet some of the Jews were angered by this change and hired a mob to find Paul and kill him. When the mob couldn’t find Paul they brought out Jason instead and had him beaten. Meanwhile, the rest of the believers encouraged Paul, Silas, and Timothy to flee to Berea. There was peace for Silas and Timothy there, but Paul moved on to Athens where he would reason with God-fearing Greeks and be brought before the Areopagus.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

I respond to Jake Frew's Patreon post about YouTube Metrics and Airline etiquette.  I discuss a world without public metrics and trace how that shift might bring us back to trust, storytelling, and the simple power of word of mouth. From the Mona Lisa's fame without a counter to the way a Spielberg credit earns an automatic watch, I explain why following a creator's voice can be more satisfying than chasing whatever tops the charts.As for airline etiquette I talk about being a shades-up person most of the time, when it's kind to drop them, why not reclining in tight cabins respects the person behind you, and how back-to-front boarding logic beats aisle gridlock. Add a few low-friction habits—slide over, don't guard the aisle, stash bags fast—and everyone's flight gets easier. I believe we should support the creators who earn your trust, whether that's subscribing, sharing, or joining their Patreon.

This Day in Maine for Wednesday, November 19, 2025.

Today, Rick sits down with Cincinnati-based climate science and outdoor writer Jessica Baltzersen, whose passion for storytelling has taken her from bison-filled islands to moonlit rainbows and community gardens making a difference in urban food deserts. Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! Show Notes Show Notes Show Notes WHAT HAPPENED: I'll be honest—when I first started freelancing, I chased the big stuff. Wildfires out west. Epic storms. National parks everyone's heard of. And yeah, the views were killer, the access? Not so much. Crowds. Traffic. And trying to pitch a story that wasn't already told a hundred times by someone standing in the same exact spot? Near impossible. Then I moved back to Cincinnati. Yeah, the Midwest. You know, the place nobody writes about unless there's a flood or a football game. But what I found? Holy hell. 5,000 acres of parks. National Water Trails. People pulling literal tons of tires out of rivers with their bare hands and busted backs. And stories—real ones. Raw. Personal. Uncovered. One day, I'm chasing a moonbow in Kentucky. (Yes, that's a lunar rainbow, and yes, it's real.) Another, I'm writing about community gardens growing hope in the middle of urban food deserts. And all of it—every story—started right here in my own overlooked, underestimated backyard. PRINCIPLE: The best outdoor stories don't always come from the big, dramatic places. Sometimes, they're right under your nose—in the "boring" places, told by everyday folks doing extraordinary things. As outdoor storytellers, travelers, and advocates, we've got to stop thinking epic = better. Local can be just as powerful—if not more. TRANSITION: But here's the thing: too many creatives, writers, and adventurers are stuck in this belief that the only stories worth telling live out west or come with a plane ticket. That the Midwest, the South, or even your own neighborhood isn't "sexy" enough for an audience. So they scroll past, ignore it, and miss the magic right in front of them. THAT'S WHY: This episode with Jessica Erzen is so damn important. She reminds us that storytelling isn't about location—it's about perspective. It's about being curious enough to dig into the stories no one else is talking about. It's about realizing that a river full of tires can be just as compelling as a summit photo in the Rockies. Maybe more. CALL TO ACTION: Feeling like your outdoor stories aren't big enough to matter? You're not alone—most folks think if it's not wild, it's not worth it. But the truth? The stories that really move people are often right in their own backyard. Listen to Jessica's episode now—because the next great story might be just outside your front door.

In Lonely Crowds (Little, Brown and Co., 2025) Ruth, an only child of recent immigrants to New England, lives in an emotionally cold home and attends the local Catholic girl's school on a scholarship. Maria, a beautiful orphan whose Panamanian mother dies by suicide and is taken care of by an ill, unloving aunt, is one of the only other students attending the school on a scholarship. Ruth is drawn forcefully into Maria's orbit, and they fall into an easy, yet intense, friendship. Her devotion to her charming and bright new friend opens up her previously sheltered world. While Maria, charismatic and aware of her ability to influence others, eases into her full self, embracing her sexuality and her desire to be an artist, Ruth is mostly content to follow her around: to college and then into the early-nineties art world of New York City. There, ambition and competition threaten to rupture their friendship, while strong and unspoken forces pull them together over the years. Whereas Maria finds early success in New York City as an artist, Ruth stumbles along the fringes of the art world, pulled toward a quieter life of work and marriage. As their lives converge and diverge, they meet in one final and fateful confrontation. Ruth and Maria's decades-long friendship interrogates the nature of intimacy, desire, class and time. What does it mean to be an artist and to be true to oneself? What does it mean to give up on an obsession? Marking the arrival of a sensational new literary talent, Lonely Crowds challenges us to reckon honestly with our own ambitions and the lives we hope to lead.

This week's episode is a live recording of Wisdom of Crowds, where we celebrated a very special occasion: the publication of Shadi Hamid's new book, The Case for American Power. The book is a soul-searching study about American power as a force for good in the world, and it combines memoir and foreign policy analysis. Shadi's thesis is that if we want to make the world “more just and more moral, more democratic and more respectful of human rights,” then backing the United States is both the “last best hope and the least-bad option.”Joining Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic is special guest Matt Duss, former foreign policy advisor to Bernie Sanders, executive vice president of the Center for International Policy, and co-host of the Undiplomatic Podcast. “I am certainly not against the idea of American power,” says Matt. But his question is: “Which America?” Duss is less optimistic that US power can be put to good use because, he says, we are currently having a national debate about “what is the nature of the American project.” It's unclear how that debate will end.Nevertheless, Shadi argues, American democracy, however imperfect, is still superior to the regimes in the other global hegemons, Russia and China. We should not fear our own home — oikophobia is a real issue, Shadi says, using the term for “fear of one's home,” the opposite of xenophobia. Duss partially agrees, but says that being a democracy does not necessarily imbue American foreign policy with moral authority. “International law does that.” The topic of international law prompts Damir to steer the conversation towards the topic of Gaza. Does American collaboration with Israeli war crimes disprove Shadi's thesis? Or does it paradoxically strengthen the argument that the world needs morally-guided American power? At this point, Shadi utters one of the best lines of the night: “To be seen as hypocritical is the cost of trying to being better than you actually are.”We are making this episode completely free for all subscribers, including the Q and A section, which covers topics like: hypocrisy in foreign policy; why working with China is preferable to the US for some nations; how Gaza will change the Democratic Party; the crisis in the MAGA coalition; and more!

In Lonely Crowds (Little, Brown and Co., 2025) Ruth, an only child of recent immigrants to New England, lives in an emotionally cold home and attends the local Catholic girl's school on a scholarship. Maria, a beautiful orphan whose Panamanian mother dies by suicide and is taken care of by an ill, unloving aunt, is one of the only other students attending the school on a scholarship. Ruth is drawn forcefully into Maria's orbit, and they fall into an easy, yet intense, friendship. Her devotion to her charming and bright new friend opens up her previously sheltered world. While Maria, charismatic and aware of her ability to influence others, eases into her full self, embracing her sexuality and her desire to be an artist, Ruth is mostly content to follow her around: to college and then into the early-nineties art world of New York City. There, ambition and competition threaten to rupture their friendship, while strong and unspoken forces pull them together over the years. Whereas Maria finds early success in New York City as an artist, Ruth stumbles along the fringes of the art world, pulled toward a quieter life of work and marriage. As their lives converge and diverge, they meet in one final and fateful confrontation. Ruth and Maria's decades-long friendship interrogates the nature of intimacy, desire, class and time. What does it mean to be an artist and to be true to oneself? What does it mean to give up on an obsession? Marking the arrival of a sensational new literary talent, Lonely Crowds challenges us to reckon honestly with our own ambitions and the lives we hope to lead.

Devotion : Feeding the Crowds / Luke 9:7-17 by Community Lutheran Church

With Shadi out promoting his new book, Damir sat down with WoC friend Jamie Kirchick to debate the influence of media figures like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes on conservatism on America. Anti-semitism may be the oldest hatred, something different feels afoot today. Generational shifts in attitudes on Israel, partly fueled by the Gaza war, have given unscrupulous charlatans an opening into the mainstream. But why are mainstream conservative institutions not fighting back? And what does this say about the future of the Republican Party once Donald Trump eventually leaves the scene?Required Reading and listening:* Tucker Carlson interviews Nick Fuentes (YouTube).* Ben Shapiro's Nick Fuentes Supercut (YouTube).* “Visa Applicants Don't Have First Amendment Rights,” by Jamie Kirchick (Politico).Wisdom of Crowds is a platform challenging premises and understanding first principles on politics and culture.

Send us a textDefending Truth: Courage, Advocacy, and Understanding Controversy with Douglas MurrayIn this powerful and enlightening conversation on From The Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, author and advocate Douglas Murray speaks on his unwavering support for Israel and the Jewish people, despite not being Jewish himself. Murray articulates the courage and moral compass that drive his advocacy, rooted in a profound commitment to truth. The dialogue highlights the distinctions between genuine support for Palestinian self-determination and those who simply oppose Israel, referencing the significant divide seen on and after October 7th. Murray provides observations on global antisemitism, historical misrepresentation, and societal projections onto the Jewish state. We discuss complex issues surrounding Gaza, the problematic nature of international peacekeeping, and the moral dilemmas in dealing with terrorism. The discussion delves into personal stories of heroism, educational strategies against antisemitism, and the profound impact of concerted, individual efforts in combating hate. Murray underscores the importance of living deeply, engaging with truth, and fostering resilience through understanding history and personal conviction.EPISODE SPONSORSWRAP TO HEAL AND REVEALWrap to Heal and Reveal is a beautiful initiative providing kosher tefillin to IDF soldiers across Israel.It began during the difficult days when we all prayed for the hostages' return, inspired by the Rebbe's words on the spiritual power of tefillin.

Welcome! In this podcast, I read three quotes which share two things in common. First, they speak of low attendance in the park and how empty things are. Second, they were all written in 2024. I could share with you several statements like these that emphasize how empty the parks are. To many it sounds like statements heard these last couple of months around both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. But statements like these are actually from 2024. Were they true? Well, the TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) shared their annual Global Experience Index for 2024. We'll look at what it has to say, particularly as we study the Disney and Universal parks in both Florida and California. The findings may not only surprise you, but they are probably an indication of the kinds of numbers we're experiencing here. To that end, we'll talk about what Disney is doing about attendance to include new announcements Disney has made for America's 250th Anniversary. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Fans of Off the Record may recall my recent episode with Chris Petrilli, Director of Revenue Cycle of Operations at NYU Langone, who joined me to discuss his experience delivering a TEDx Talk on artificial intelligence. Chris was well prepared and delivered a great lecture, which you should definitely check out on YouTube. And on the podcast he sang the praises of a coach brought in to prep him and other NYU Langone staff for the big day on the big stage. My wheels started to spin, I reached out... and landed that coach for OTR.  Susanna Baddiel is an actress, director, voice over artist and TEDx Speaker Coach. She works in both the UK and the US and is a founder member of Actors Shakespeare Company where she continues to act, direct and coach. She has more than 17 years of experience teaching public speaking, personal impact, presentation skills, leadership development, and executive coaching. It was my honor to host her in a bit of an offbeat show than the usual mid-revenue cycle topics. But I picked up a few pointers about public speaking that helped me, and I think you will too. This special episode kicks off November, a month in which I'll be taking a deep delve into provider engagement. Odds are if you're trying to engage providers you'll have to present or educate, and Susanna offers some great advice and practical tips and takeaways. On this show we cover: Her background as an actress in Britain, transition into coaching, and eventually working with niche clients in science and medicine Working with the team at NYU and Chris Petrilli—preparing them, building them up, and getting them ready for the big day. Why preparation is everything in public speaking, as is gratitude for the opportunity Balancing authenticity vs. general principles of good presentation The differences between in-person and presenting on camera. Susanna offers some GREAT suggestions for being better on Zoom. Books and other resources Susanna recommends 

Adam Swart is the founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand — a company that literally organizes protests, rallies, and PR stunts for clients across the U.S. In this interesting conversation, Henry and Danny dig into how this shadowy industry actually works: who pays for demonstrations, how they're staffed, and where ethics fit in when civic action becomes a paid service. Swart claims his firm turned down $20 million in offers to organize anti-Trump protests, and insists “paid protestors” aren't what conspiracy theories make them out to be.But Danny pushes back — asking whether commodifying civic activism cheapens democracy itself.

"The power of a crowd lies not just in its size, but in the perceptions it shapes."Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, for an eye-opening conversation about crowds, political demonstrations, free speech, and gun rights. Adam pulls back the curtain on his business, which specializes in orchestrating paid crowds and events for everything from political rallies to guerilla marketing stunts. We dive deep into the ethical challenges of paid protests, the influence of media, the dynamics of social movements, and the complex intersection of money, activism, and public perception.Along the way, Adam gets candid about evolving his company's approach, shares insights into how paid demonstrations may impact the Second Amendment narrative, and discusses the dangers of social media-fueled division in our country. We also touch on current events like campus protests, political polarization, and the responsibilities of both media and citizens when it comes to validating what we see.

More than 40 thousand people turned out in Portland alone for the No Kings protest, and people turned up en masse in scores of cities and towns throughout Oregon and Washington. They were part of an estimated 2,500 coordinated demonstrations across the country against President Trump’s use of presidential authority, extrajudicial deportations, immigration sweeps and attempts to deploy the National Guard in Democratic cities, including Portland. We’re joined by two organizers for a first hand report of what the protests were like: Isabelle Fleuraud in Burns, and Alan Unell in Vancouver.

1. The American Invasion and Start of Chaos The April 2003 American arrival in Baghdad saw Saddam's statue toppled before foreign journalists rather than Iraqi crowds, with contradiction between heavily armed US presence and citywide looting while the Iraqi Museum was ransacked but Ministry of Oil secured. Iraqis initially believed Americans would bring prosperity, leading to disappointment over "criminal negligence," with Abdullahad becoming an accidental journalist after bribing his way out of detention. 1600
