Brad speaks with the anonymous founder of SoCal Extremism Watch (S.C.E.W.), who highlights the strategies and impact of these extremist groups. The conversation covers recent incidents, such as a school board member casually using the N-word without repercussions, and the coordinated efforts of national organizations like the Council for National Policy to influence local elections and politics through dark money and organized activism. The episode emphasizes the importance of vigilance and active participation in democracy, even in states perceived as liberal strongholds like California.
