Hi, welcome to Fever Dreams. My name's Will Summer. I'm a political reporter at The Daily Beast and the author of an upcoming book on QAnon for Harper Collins.

And I'm Aswin-Sub-Tang, but please call me Swin. I'm a senior political reporter at the Daily Beast and co-author of the book Sinking in the Swamp.

All right, here on Fevered Dreams, we're going to take you on plunges into the sometimes hilarious and sometimes scary world of the American right as they continue to influence our politics. Even in the aftermath of the Trump

administration, the energy of these conspiracy theorists, these grifters, and these influencers

is still pushing our mainstream political landscape closer and closer to a breaking point.

Welcome to Fever Dreams. I'm Will Summer, and I'm joined today by guest host Kelly Wilde for one more week.

Kelly, you got one more week before Swin comes back.

How are you planning to go out?

Oh, it's great.

I'm going to say something really inflammatory in the closing 30 seconds.

So brace yourselves.

Really salt the podcast.

Good luck cleaning that up, Swin. Okay, so today for our first segment, last week we mentioned

this James O'Keefe lawsuit where he's being sued over what the plaintiffs have characterized

as political spying over one of his operatives infiltrating this democratic organization.

So this case, though, some of these records have started to spill out. And I have to say, like,

these emails are so rude. I just have to share them as a follow-up.

They kind of give you a glimpse into the life at the mind of a James O'Keefe operative

while they live amongst you.

I have some friend that the Washington Post who is terrified that Project Veritas will go after

her.

And she's constantly like, is this person a Project Veritas person?
