Hey, folks, good news.

We have my guest, James O'Kee, founder of Project Veritas, with us for the hour to continue our conversation from yesterday. The new book

is American muckraker rethinking journalism for the 21st century. We're talking James about some

big ideas, and I think I mentioned it yesterday that the real shock for me was when right before the 2020 election, everyone in the media declined to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story.

There never was anything more that obviously needed covering by journalists.

And that was the chilling moment for me.

When I saw big tech allied with big journalism to say that we are going to not cover this,

and we even had, it's really gross when you have members of the deep state signing a big letter,

calling it Russian disinformation. I mean, that's a level, a diabolical level of gaslighting and

lying that I thought, that's the end of America. We have never been, we've made movies

about that kind of evil. Mr. Smith goes to Washington. But to see it happening in our time, that's when I thought we've gone over the cliff.

You've said it beautifully.

Speaking personally, my level of diabolical evil was when Project Veritas was banned on Twitter for quoting CNN.

That was my, whatever the modern version of woke is,

I've heard people say black-pilled, red-pilled, whatever pill.

But the moment, the event horizon that we crossed from me was when they banned me from

Twitter for quoting the other guy, I was like, whoa.

Because I think it takes a little bit of sort of naivete and innocence inside of a Project Gerasa, journalist to be doing this to begin with. And I want to say something else about this. I gave a speech in Mamerinac, New York, which is where I live in the Yacht Club last week, to a book launch event I had. And people are saying, well, it's over. Country's over. It's all over. There's no rights. It's like, the hell it's over. It's over if you say it is. And if you manifest that, if you believe that, if you, if it was it negative prayer, if you want to just keep saying we have no rights. Negative confession. Negative confession. What you're saying right now is like so big for me because you want to say to the people in the Mer Akiak Club, it's over because of you, because of what you just said and your willingness to lie down in a fetal position under the couch when you should be fighting. Right. That's such an important point because I get this, and I'm sure you do. Top ask questions. Do you fear for your life? What can I do? There's no rights. Nothing will ever happen to these people. And I say, well, it's still, our rights and our freedom still exist in our hearts inside of our souls. Right. And every one of you in this room needs to do something about it. And, you know, we're a nation, e pluribus unum, equality before the law, these beautiful things,
