The Secret Billionaire Funding the Collapse of the West - Nate Friedman

Are the protests filling Western streets truly spontaneous - or are some being engineered from above? Investigative journalist Nate Friedman followed the money behind what looked like grassroots activism. He says he uncovered repeat organisers, nonprofit pass-throughs, more than $20 million connected to one little-known billionaire—and the same network appearing behind cause after cause. Subscribe to his amazing channel:  @natefriedman  In this rare long-form conversation, Nate reveals how he tracks the people and organisations behind mass demonstrations, why activists tried to block his street interviews and why he says major protests suddenly disappeared after federal investigators began asking questions. He tells Andrew what shocked him most when he came to Britain, why New York could be a warning to the rest of the West, how social media helps charismatic radicals gain power—and why the funding trail keeps leading back to China. But Andrew challenges him on the questions his critics will ask: Are ordinary protesters actually being paid? Can street interviews represent an entire community? Does editing distort the picture? And is Nate documenting a coordinated political machine—or only its loudest members? The conversation becomes deeply personal as Nate recalls losing Charlie Kirk, encountering students who celebrated it and making a decision that changed his mission. Watch to the end to discover the investigation Nate is building now—and why he says his goal is nothing less than saving the West.
