Change Agents with Andy Stumpf

Investigating a Domestic Strike: Inside the Texas Operation That Took Down Multiple 5G Towers

15 Oct 2025

Description

On today’s episode, Andy talks with journalist Brendan Koerner about the case of Sean Aaron Smith — a 27-year-old from Texas who set fire to 22 cell towers between 2021 and 2022. Believing 5G technology was part of a global mind-control plot, Smith’s actions were driven by conspiracy theories spread through podcasts, social media, and online communities. Brendan breaks down how misinformation and isolation led to one of the most unusual domestic terrorism cases in recent years, and what it reveals about the evolving nature of radicalization in the digital age.
