| 0:00.0 | All right, sounds good. So James, going back to it. So I asked you when there was no sound, how is the feel knowing? You're both loved and admired by your core audience, but you also got a lot of people that hate what you're doing. |
| 0:17.0 | How's that feel? |
| 0:18.0 | It's humbling. I'm sort of, I don't really focus on the fear and I and I think that then one of the things I read about this book American muckraker is that is the sort of characteristics inherent in my colleagues and myself is that we're sort of very tunnel vision so we don't really |
| 0:34.0 | focus on those things. We know that they're there, we take rational steps to deal with them, |
| 0:38.7 | but we're kind of focused on what we do. Some tells me it doesn't bother you do. Some tells me you're |

| 1:30.0 | Teddy Roosevelt coined it. |
| 1:31.8 | It could be all-encompassing. |
| 1:33.7 | The whistleblowers that we work with are not my employees, they don't pay them salaries. |
| 1:40.3 | We have people on full-time staff, but a muckraker is effectively anybody who can expose what's going on, the real truth, the hidden truth. |
| 1:50.0 | So it is an element of being a whistleblower. It is an element of somebody who wants to expose people who behind closed doors are playing essentially the game of what he call it it the puppet masters you're trying to |
