Who’s funding America’s protest unrest? Fox Nation's new 'Riot Inc.' follows the money to find out

A new Fox Nation special, "Riot Inc.," examines the forces behind some of the country's most contentious protest movements, amid a wave of political unrest drawing comparisons to the turbulent 1960s and 1970s.

The special explores how organized activist networks, wealthy benefactors, and potential foreign influence may be helping turn political grievances into coordinated campaigns. This has raised concerns among lawmakers and experts about the influence of outside interests on American protest movements and the potential national security implications of coordinated unrest.

Independent journalist Nick Shirley has witnessed the threat firsthand and offered an exclusive account of the dangers he says come with exposing alleged corruption and confronting activist groups across the country. Shirley finds irony in the clash between protesters' eagerness to be heard and their outrage at his eagerness to record them.

Lawmakers and experts, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., have raised concerns about the influence of outside interests on American protest movements. Luna warned that the "red-green alliance" is a threat that must be monitored and maintained. The special also features Asra Nomani, Fox News Digital's senior editor of investigations, who relays the role of tax-privileged nonprofits in keeping demonstrations thriving.

The special's host, Will Cain, raises a central question: How much of the outrage unfolding on America's streets is actually grassroots, and how much is being fueled by powerful interests behind the scenes?
