Welcome to Our Hent House. I am so thrilled today to welcome. Actually, welcome back. Will Potter,

author, investigative journalist, Tour de Force. And I'm saying welcome back because, Will,

I think you were on the podcast, like in the first year we were doing it, which means that I haven't seen you in a really long time, but you've been busy.

I think it's been quite a while. I think we've both been busy. It's been quite a while. It's great to see you, and thanks for having me back on the show. Yeah, great to see you as well, and I'm super excited about this new book.

Let me just do the intro for people who aren't familiar with your work.

Will Potter is an award-winning investigative journalist. excited about this new book. Let me just do the intro for people who aren't familiar with your work.

Will Potter is an award-winning investigative journalist and author, a leading international voice

challenging attacks on civil liberties in the name of fighting quote-unquote terrorism.

And he was the first investigative journalist to be named a Ted Senior Fellow, which I did not know.

And that is wildly impressive.

He's also addressed governmental bodies, including the U.S. Congress.

I don't know how they let you in.

Australian Parliament, Council of Europe.

And of course, he is the author of Green as the New Red.

I think that's probably mostly what we were talking about the last time.

I think so.

You were on like 15 years ago or so.

And that was really exposing the FBI's targeting of environmentalists as, quote, terrorists.

And, you know, not something that's actually stopped, but has shifted in various ways.

And this new book, Little Red Barnes, Hiding the Truth from Farm to Fable,

is a 10-year investigation of factory farms and fascism.

And I, this is just a master work will.
