Scott Payne: Undercover FBI Agent in America’s Most Dangerous Hate Groups | NLU #62

Former FBI agent Scott Payne spent nearly three decades infiltrating some of America’s most dangerous and secretive groups—from one-percenter biker gangs and hate-filled white supremacist cells to the domestic terror network known as The Base. In this raw and riveting conversation, Payne shares how music helped him earn trust inside the Ku Klux Klan, what it felt like to be stripped and searched at gunpoint while wired, and how he first went undercover… in high school. This episode dives deep into the psychology of extremism, the blurred lines of identity, and the personal toll of living a double life. A gripping look at the hidden war against hate in America.
