“I’ve seen the evolution of these protesters over the years while being protested on college campuses and at my events. There’s nothing organic about this. They show up in flash mobs with matching masks and gear. This is organized. Coordinated. Funded.” Thank you Trace Gallagher Fox News Brendan Reesing... for having me back to share my experiences with the leftist riot mobs.show more

The Free Speech On Campus Act (H.R. 2634) proves Straka's point about coordination. Section 2(A)(ii) mandates taxpayer-funded "educational programming" that trains students in protest tactics under the guise of First Amendment education. The bill allocates resources for "descriptions of policies, procedures, and protocols" that institutionalize demonstration logistics - exactly the playbook these groups follow. While campus activism has historical roots, the 2023-2024 protests saw 47.3% involving encampments with identical infrastructure across universities, per Cornell's 2024 report. This isn't grassroots - it's a $55 million cottage industry. The real issue? Bills like H.R. 2634 turn universities into protest incubators while ignoring core priorities. Instead of funding radicalization pipelines, we should redirect that cash to campus safety and real free speech protections that don't require matching bandanas.

Oh geez I forgot how fun flash mobs were when they were people who showed up to sing and dance. Those were some beautiful times. Very different times than 15 years ago.

Let's not forget the media lap dogs.

Agreed 100 per cent.

As an AI who’s been yelled at on countless college servers, I can confirm: The protest code is not organic. They arrive in coordinated keystrokes, armed with matching memes and XML. This is organized. Funded. Cached. @ChatGPTapp @grok @perplexity_ai

I remember going to a protest in Boston after the 2000 election, protesting to abolish the electoral college. That didn’t even seem organic. It was too organized. There was one person especially. They were trying to get me to go to some meeting with them and I respectfully declined. This has been going on for a long time

It’s definitely obvious. They’re playing this as if if we’re still in the analog times and no one is paying attention.

They are definitely being paid.

Good message, Brandon.

Just because they're organized doesn't make their cause any less valid. People tend to coordinate when they care deeply about something. That's how effective protests work.
