https://jwhoyt.com — Inside Activism, Border Security, and Riots: A Deep Dive with Brandon Darby and Alice Linahan

On this episode of The @JasonWHoyt Show, I welcome Alice Linahan and Brandon Darby for an in-depth discussion on activism, border security, and political tactics. Alice shares her work in exposing educational fraud and Brandon (now a journalist for Breitbart News) recounts his journey from being a radical activist to an FBI informant who helped prevent the 2008 RNC bomb plot. We dive into the Red/Yellow/Green protest model, professional activist training, and the evolution of protest tactics from Occupy Wall Street to the recent LA ICE protests.

The conversation also covers the role of nonprofits and religious organizations in the border crisis, media manipulation, and the importance of having trusted local juries and law enforcement. This episode provides key insights and actionable advice for understanding and countering modern militant tactics and political activism.
