YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Hate doesn’t stay online. It embeds locally.

In this episode, I sit down with investigative reporter Phil Williams, the author of Hate Comes to Main Street, to break down how extremist networks move from online propaganda to real-world political power — and what you can actually do to push back in your own town.

Phil has spent decades documenting corruption, intimidation campaigns, and extremist infiltration in local politics. We talk about how these movements recruit, normalize themselves, and test strategies at the community level before they scale nationally.

If you care about defending your town, this conversation is for you.
