00:01:04.820 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard for today's very special edition of Human Events Daily.

00:01:09.980 We've got on James O'Keefe, the founder, the director of Project Veritas, and the author

00:01:15.080 of a brand new book that is actually out today.

00:01:17.760 The book is American Muckraker, and this is an academic and philosophical explanation

00:01:23.620 of undercover journalism and the overall history of undercover journalism intertwined

00:01:28.940 with his own life experiences.

00:01:31.360 James, thank you so much for coming on the show to talk about this today.

00:01:33.900 Jack, thanks for having me on.

00:01:35.120 Just to point a clarification, it's out on the 25th, so one week from now.

00:01:39.960 It'll be out.

00:01:40.820 It'll be out.

00:01:41.360 So you have an advanced copy.

00:01:42.840 We've sent you an advanced copy of American Muckraker, but we're very excited.

00:01:46.140 Spoiler alerts.

00:01:47.120 So spoiler alerts, folks.

00:01:48.780 If there's anything.

00:01:50.420 Yeah, if you want to come out.

00:01:51.860 You know, when people think of Project Veritas, I think they know you and they know Veritas

00:01:56.200 from various stories that are always, you know, snapshots in time that they sort of pop up

00:02:01.280 and then they go, but this is one unbroken narrative that I feel that nobody's really seen

00:02:06.380 unless they've actually been James O'Keefe.

00:02:09.000 And that's what you're doing.

00:02:09.820 You're putting people through this book in the driver's seat of what it's like being

00:02:14.500 behind the control board, you know, as it were, of Project Veritas.

00:02:18.480 So tell me about the process of writing this book.

00:02:20.780 Well, this took me five years to write.

00:02:23.140 I basically downloaded everything I possibly could on journalism ethics, on secrecy, on

00:02:30.340 privacy, on themes of undercover techniques, deception.

00:02:34.680 People say we lie, we deceive undercover.

00:02:36.980 So I read everything I could get my hands on until the point where I exhausted all research.

00:02:41.920 I went to the NYU database, undercover database.

00:02:45.940 I read all of Gunter Waller's books, Mike Wallace's books, Upton Sinclair's books, and the

00:02:51.740 things that Upton Sinclair, they wrote about him.

00:02:54.580 And then I really interviewed all of our whistleblowers and I really grappled with themes of struggle

00:03:02.240 and suffering.

00:03:03.480 And you might say, well, what the hell does suffering have to do with it?

00:03:06.380 Well, suffering is the first preface, the chapter of this book.

00:03:10.260 It's about struggle.

00:03:12.520 And, you know, and then that brought me to Solzhenitsyn and The Dream of the Ridiculous 0.80

00:03:17.940 Man and some of the Russian novelists, because I think we're entering clown world. 1.00

00:03:22.300 I think we live in a bizarre dystopian scenario.

00:03:25.920 I don't think we're yet across the Rubicon to complete societal breakdown, but we're pretty

00:03:32.780 close.

00:03:33.260 I would say we're standing at the gates.

00:03:35.440 And the only thing that's preventing us from entering those gates are we the people.

00:03:39.660 And the only thing that scares the power structure is people's access to actual real information.

00:03:45.900 So this book is a how-to manual for how to tell the truth and what you're going to have

00:03:52.840 to endure and the way the game is played and how you have to conduct your reporting as a

00:03:59.120 citizen journalist in a world where, for example, the FBI and the New York Times and big pharmaceutical

00:04:04.500 companies are all coordinating with each other.

00:04:06.440 That's the world we're living in.

00:04:07.600 And George Orwell writes, the power, the freedom, two plus two equals five, the freedom to say

00:04:13.660 that makes all the difference in the world.

00:04:15.960 So that's what this book is about.

00:04:17.600 It's a very ambitious project of mine.

00:04:21.100 I've been doing for five years, and it's out a week from today.

00:04:24.860 Well, you know, look, I threw something up on Twitter the other night where I said, you

00:04:28.140 know, we're in a situation economically now where the shelves on the markets are bare.

00:04:32.960 My wife, who was born in the Soviet Union, went out shopping the other day to the U.S. 0.89

00:04:37.720 and said, look, this reminds me of what it was like when I was little.

00:04:41.480 This reminds me of going to the store when I was little.

00:04:43.520 You can't go out and buy anything you want.

00:04:45.020 You can't get fresh food, fresh produce.

00:04:47.080 Meanwhile, if you tweet something about it, you're going to get fact-checked and you're

00:04:51.160 going to be attacked from apparatchiks that are from state-approved media, state-backed

00:04:56.460 media in some cases.

00:04:57.520 And she said, you know, all of this seems strikingly similar to the system that I fought

00:05:03.220 very hard to get away from and to come to a place where she could, you know, she and

00:05:08.460 I met here in D.C.

00:05:09.660 And we got married and we're having our kids.

00:05:11.600 And she said, look, I wanted to be in a place where we could flourish and have the opportunity

00:05:16.320 to get away from such things.

00:05:18.080 And yet all of this seems just very disturbingly familiar.

00:05:22.360 Well, they say it's disinformation, misinformation.

00:05:25.540 These are brand new words.

00:05:26.880 These are not words that were in our vocabulary 10 years ago.

00:05:30.840 And what's interesting about these words, Joe Biden used this word and certainly referred

00:05:34.960 to our report on Anthony Fauci last week featuring documents from the Department of Defense.

00:05:39.420 These are not my claims.

00:05:41.040 I didn't make any claims.

00:05:42.920 This was a Marine Corps major inside the Department of Defense.

00:05:46.720 These were literally Pentagon papers that Project Veritas were releasing.

00:05:50.620 Yet Anthony Fauci and Joe Biden talking about misinformation.

00:05:53.340 But disinformation, misinformation really means distrusting people to draw the acceptable

00:05:58.220 conclusions based upon facts that are admittedly true.

00:06:02.620 So it's not so much that what we report at Project Veritas is false.

00:06:06.340 It's that it is true.

00:06:07.400 And the more true it gets, the worse it gets.

00:06:09.620 To quote the protagonist in the movie The Insider, the guy who portrayed executive producer at 60

00:06:15.140 minutes, the more true the information is, the more disinformation it becomes.

00:06:18.500 Which brings us back to George Orwell's 1984, double think, to tell deliberate lies while genuinely

00:06:25.760 believing in them, to forget any fact that becomes inconvenient, and then when it becomes necessary

00:06:30.080 again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long it is as needed, to deny the existence

00:06:34.480 of objective reality.

00:06:36.020 That's what these people are doing.

00:06:37.660 And you could be hopeless and cynical, but I think what's different than your wife's native 1.00

00:06:45.940 country and the Soviet Union is, this is America, okay? 0.65

00:06:49.660 Like this is the United States of America, and not the whole rhetoric of people have guns.

00:06:54.360 Forget that argument.

00:06:55.780 Forget that rationale.

00:06:57.920 This is a place where we place a primary value on the First Amendment.

00:07:02.020 The First Amendment comes first for a reason, and it's very important that people understand

00:07:08.220 that we do live in a country where I think there's a lot more people who agree with us.

00:07:14.220 They're just scared.

00:07:15.380 They're just afraid.

00:07:17.260 And in the communist countries, 98% of people perhaps were afraid as well, but they couldn't

00:07:23.720 do anything about it.

00:07:24.580 So we have the ability to give people information through these whistleblowers who are releasing

00:07:32.500 information against the consent of the powerful organizations they work for.

00:07:37.800 Jack, what was interesting recently in my case involving the FBI in the Southern District

00:07:42.360 of New York, they raided my home and took my phones, was the US attorneys said in court

00:07:48.440 documents that I'm not a journalist.

00:07:50.200 Of course, there's no difference between what I do and the reporters that the New York Times

00:07:54.660 do in terms of taking documents or receiving documents that were stolen.

00:07:58.760 In my case, I didn't even know.

00:08:00.800 It turns out it wasn't stolen, the Biden diary.

00:08:04.960 But journalists receive stolen documents all the time.

00:08:08.280 Here at Human Events, we, on a regular basis, receive government documents, receive documents

00:08:13.720 from inside corporations that have been given to us or obtained to us through insiders,

00:08:18.520 insiders, whistleblowers, leakers.

00:08:20.900 This is the bread and butter of journalism in the United States, not just, right, I mean,

00:08:26.280 this is a daily occurrence here in Washington, D.C.

00:08:28.640 Now, in some cases, what it seems to be, though, and for me, having operated here, now, I come

00:08:33.780 from the world where I was an intelligence officer.

00:08:36.320 I was somebody who was on the other side of the table, so to speak, in terms of this.

00:08:41.180 But now that I'm looking at it from this side, I say, you know, it seems interesting that

00:08:44.560 when there's leaks to the New York Times or to the Washington Post or, in some cases,

00:08:48.760 the Wall Street Journal, it seems as though those are approved leaks.

00:08:53.600 Right.

00:08:54.080 But when there's leaks to James O'Keefe and Jack Posobiec and Andy Ngo and others, well,

00:09:00.160 those are disinformation, and that's disapproved leaks.

00:09:03.280 And yet, the only difference seems to be the type of information that's coming out.

00:09:07.840 That's right.

00:09:08.380 The leak is effectively a bona fide press conference, right?

00:09:11.940 When you have a two-star general leaking to the New York, Dan Boorstin talks about in

00:09:16.000 this book called The Image, which I talk about extensively in this book, American Mockrager.

00:09:20.900 When you have leaks that are sanctioned leaks, authorized leaks, well, it's even worse because

00:09:27.220 you don't have the intonation, the inflection of what the person said.

00:09:30.820 They're using the New York Times and the Washington Post as the ombudsman for the Pentagon.

00:09:35.940 They're using them as the ombudsman for Anthony Fauci.

00:09:38.140 You are not allowed to question what's called the authorized knowers in society.

00:09:42.920 And taking information from sources that are presumed credible often reduces investigative

00:09:47.520 expense.

00:09:48.560 I mean, one-third of my nonprofit budget, which is getting larger now, is legal, okay?

00:09:54.040 It's all about defending myself in court.

00:09:56.560 And when your imperative is a commercial one, and I'm not trying to bemoan capitalism, but

00:10:01.340 I'm a nonprofit.

00:10:02.200 Profit is not my motive.

00:10:03.340 My motive is truth-telling.

00:10:05.140 So if your priority is to save money, I would have settled those lawsuits, but I'll spend

00:10:10.320 20 times more money to go to court and to go to trial and win.

00:10:14.360 So there's an economic issue here in journalism with the newspapers being completely destroyed

00:10:20.660 and the tech companies gobbling up all of that domain, and you have the complete consolidation

00:10:26.180 of news.

00:10:26.980 In fact, you and I, we get a lot of our messages out on Instagram.

00:10:29.160 So because of that, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to tell the truth, and they

00:10:36.720 attack your reputation, which, by the way, in modern society, losing your reputation is

00:10:43.380 the modern-day version of something much worse 100 years ago.

00:10:47.160 But if you keep going, if you don't stop, you send a message to other people that they

00:10:53.980 can do it too, to paraphrase my late mentor, Andrew Breitbart.

00:10:58.280 And what I've seen in the last year is very inspiring.

00:11:01.660 One thing that I do want to ask you about is, and you mentioned the Soviet Union, but

00:11:05.380 also we've certainly seen in some cases for the people that have gone to Veritas and other

00:11:12.640 places as well, though, as whistleblowers, that they've had some of those same type of tactics

00:11:18.000 used against them.

00:11:19.540 They've been blacklisted, they've been declared unemployable, they've been declared, you know,

00:11:24.280 all sorts of things.

00:11:25.920 Given that case, why then would it be, you know, talk to me about this, you mentioned

00:11:32.100 suffering and struggle.

00:11:34.660 What is the psychology of a whistleblower as you come to see it?

00:11:39.220 Well, this is an excellent point.

00:11:41.600 And this is the heart and soul of what maybe fuels me and fuels my brothers and sisters who

00:11:48.960 become whistleblowers.

00:11:50.320 It is a-

00:11:50.700 Because it would be much easier to not say anything, right?

00:11:52.660 Well, there's actually a chapter in this book, which is quite personal to me.

00:11:56.020 It's called Suffering.

00:11:57.080 And David Daleiden, you all know he is the guy who broke the unparalleled body parts.

00:12:01.720 He was raided by the California SWAT team, Kamala Harris.

00:12:04.880 Kamala Harris?

00:12:06.040 Attorney General.

00:12:06.820 Now Vice President, right.

00:12:08.020 Candy, no, cement milkshakes thrown at him.

00:12:12.460 Post worker Richard Hopkins.

00:12:13.920 Remember that one where he, they sent the deep state inspector general dude out of central

00:12:19.380 casting from the-

00:12:20.820 One of the worst interrog-

00:12:21.860 As someone who served at Guantanamo, one of the worst interrogations I've ever heard.

00:12:26.120 Well, and it was recorded.

00:12:27.640 The guy, Russell Strasser, was trying to get him to do a Soviet-like recanting.

00:12:31.500 I've been coming in to harness the storm.

00:12:34.080 You have to, I'm going to trick you so your mind can kick in.

00:12:37.240 And there's this sort of moment in space and time when you're really suffering.

00:12:41.140 I spent three years effectively confined on supervised federal probation.

00:12:46.880 I couldn't go anywhere without permission.

00:12:49.060 This was 10, 11 years ago.

00:12:51.000 And the arc, it is Martin Luther King Day.

00:12:53.240 I'm going to quote Martin Luther King.

00:12:54.340 The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

00:12:57.320 In other words, the world is round.

00:12:58.520 These bad people that do these bad things-

00:13:00.660 By the way, Martin Luther King, another victim of FBI wiretapping, paid informants, disinformation,

00:13:07.640 and threats, by the way.

00:13:08.820 But I think the world is round, and I think that what I've learned, even in my 37 years

00:13:14.180 on this planet, is that bad people do bad things for a little while, but it always catches up

00:13:18.720 to them.

00:13:19.080 Whether you're Robespierre, or the Attorney General of New York, Eric Schneiderman, or the

00:13:25.820 U.S. Attorney in New Orleans who resigned in disgrace after anonymously blogging about me.

00:13:30.060 So I wrote about this suffering, this struggle.

00:13:33.940 And the hardest part about doing this is the attack on your reputation.

00:13:37.380 There's two different types of moral courage.

00:13:39.940 One is physical courage.

00:13:41.120 The other is perhaps even more different form of courage, which is to face that reputational

00:13:47.140 hazard.

00:13:48.520 And they attack you by virtue of their own decree that they're credible.

00:13:52.920 They call themselves credible journalists by virtue of the fact they're by their own decree.

00:13:58.260 And they often use anonymous sources that bring evidence that's directly contradictory to evidence

00:14:05.480 that is, you can see and hear.

00:14:07.560 It's like incontrovertible evidence.

00:14:10.720 So the deprivation of your reputation is by those in a self-anointed racket.

00:14:14.360 And that's hard.

00:14:15.700 But after a while, what I see the whistleblowers, Jack, the thing that they're faced with is what

00:14:21.520 Solzhenitsyn was faced with when he wrote the Gulag Archipelago.

00:14:24.420 You're faced with a decision, and you have two directions you can go in.

00:14:28.480 On one direction, you're going to lose your, let's just call it lose your life, lose your

00:14:32.120 reputation.

00:14:33.080 And in the other direction, you're going to lose your conscience.

00:14:35.840 And increasingly, what I find is people place more value on doing something to follow their

00:14:41.520 own conscience, even if it comes against their own reputation.

00:14:45.080 And at a certain point, it becomes about the salvation of your own soul.

00:14:47.540 And when you take the path of least resistance, that is to say, when you want to survive at

00:14:54.080 any price, I will do anything to survive.

00:14:56.380 In fact, let me give you something more closer to home for your audience.

00:14:59.020 I will do anything not to lose my Twitter account.

00:15:02.700 I've known a lot.

00:15:03.520 I'm not going to name names, but everyone, not everyone, 99% of people, including on the

00:15:10.060 right, there's a little piece of, well, I don't know if I should tweet that document.

00:15:14.900 Now, that's a slippery slope that you're trying to climb because when you want to, as

00:15:19.540 Solzhenitsyn describes, survive at any price, well, ultimately what happened in the 1930s

00:15:25.040 after the Russian Revolution is that you effectively had a society where it was completely corrupted 0.86

00:15:29.480 and the lie became a permanent source of existence.

00:15:32.900 And when the lie becomes a permanent form of existence, you betray everyone and everything.

00:15:38.760 You sell out your own children, okay?

00:15:41.260 And I don't want to live in that world and neither do you.

00:15:43.440 This idea of lies and the question of deception.

00:15:46.820 Now, you know, if you Google Project Veritas, you know, the very first thing, it's always

00:15:51.440 sort of the attack on Veritas.

00:15:53.320 Deceptive practices, deceptive practices, deceptive practices.

00:15:56.720 They use deceptive editing and deceptive practices to interview, you know, to interview

00:16:01.560 subjects.

00:16:02.180 And they don't even realize they're being interviewed, you know?

00:16:03.980 And me as an intel officer looking at this, I say, well, you're just using elicitation.

00:16:08.960 You're not telling anyone to say anything.

00:16:11.720 This is a basic investigative tool that's used in every single law enforcement agency,

00:16:16.480 probably in the world.

00:16:18.100 And certainly every actual journalist should be trained in this process, process of elicitation.

00:16:24.240 Yet why is it then that you believe they use this specific term for attacking Veritas?

00:16:30.740 Well, they'll say and do anything to attack Veritas.

00:16:35.460 But I mean, yeah, there's a great quote in the chapter three of this book.

00:16:39.420 It's all about deception.

00:16:40.620 And what I learned was that, well, the quote is, if the use of undisclosed or false identities

00:16:46.060 were wrong per se as a form of fraud or deception, we'd have to be willing to allow restaurants

00:16:51.580 to sue restaurant critics, landlords to sue fair housing testers, and stores to sue secret

00:16:57.900 shoppers who, as it turns out, have no real intention to buy the product.

00:17:01.480 I mean, give me a break.

00:17:02.760 This is a question of relative deception.

00:17:05.040 You have two choices if you're a journalist.

00:17:07.020 You can present yourself as such to the powers that be.

00:17:10.100 Hey, please tell me all the fraud you're committing.

00:17:12.620 That'll work.

00:17:13.680 Or you can present yourself as not a journalist and record as long as you're part of the conversation

00:17:19.340 and tell the truth to the audience.

00:17:21.080 And in a world where telling the truth to the audience is paramount, you have to choose

00:17:25.600 the other path.

00:17:26.900 What matters is the truth to the audience.

00:17:29.740 You have to tell the truth to the people.

00:17:31.580 And I will write a $10,000 check to anybody.

00:17:34.680 And this is a truth.

00:17:35.580 I'll write a personal $10,000 check if you can name one example of a situation where I

00:17:39.580 have lied to my audience.

00:17:42.480 Going undercover is not lying to the audience.

00:17:45.600 It's telling the truth to the audience by the subject not knowing that you are a journalist.

00:17:51.120 Jack, the three instances they always give is the Washington Post being compromised,

00:17:55.080 me being arrested in New Orleans.

00:17:59.280 I don't even remember the third. 0.84

00:18:00.920 Oh, pimp.

00:18:01.420 I didn't wear the pimp costume inside the pimp in the office.

00:18:05.560 Give me a break.

00:18:06.840 Whenever we're burned or compromised, they jump to wild conclusions about our intentions.

00:18:11.860 But our intentions are to tell the truth to the audience.

00:18:14.880 And sometimes you have to wear a disguise to get people to be honest with you.

00:18:19.420 I mean, you've seen this for years.

00:18:23.840 You know, PETA, by the way, uses this all the time when they go undercover at factory farms.

00:18:28.820 They'll go in.

00:18:29.580 They'll have a job.

00:18:30.400 They'll be working there for months, in some cases, collecting footage.

00:18:34.360 It gets released.

00:18:35.200 And that gets written up, you know, immediately.

00:18:38.040 And so I always look at that and I say, well, isn't this the exact same thing that Project

00:18:42.160 Veritas and James do?

00:18:43.480 Yet, for some reason, this is lauded and praised and it's brought to Congress.

00:18:48.980 And, you know, I don't know.

00:18:49.720 Maybe some of those practices should be looked at.

00:18:51.500 Obviously, they should all be looked at.

00:18:52.920 Well, my question is, what's the difference between what you do?

00:18:57.460 There isn't.

00:18:58.360 It's an example of George Orwell's doublethink. 0.98

00:19:00.400 It's completely asinine and borders on communism. 0.98

00:19:04.260 It's the lack of it. 0.98

00:19:05.440 David Daleiden was raided for recording people at Planned Parenthood, but it's never about

00:19:09.900 the methods.

00:19:11.080 It's about the findings.

00:19:12.520 They don't like the findings is what it's really about.

00:19:16.320 And, you know, in terms of justifying the morality and ethics of deceiving a subject to

00:19:22.800 get, extract illicit truth out of them, I can't justify that in the abstract.

00:19:27.620 That's a philosophical conundrum, you know, Kant's categorical imperative.

00:19:33.700 It's like one ethicist described justifying undercover techniques like trying to invent

00:19:38.760 dry water or fireproof coal.

00:19:41.500 You can't justify a lie in the abstract, but it's always a situational evaluation.

00:19:48.480 And by the way, the situational evaluation is going to depend entirely on whether you

00:19:52.400 think it's a compelling public interest to expose Planned Parenthood.

00:19:55.400 And because our country is becoming more divided, that's the scapegoat.

00:19:59.380 Well, actually, and I would always say that, and actually in preparing for this interview,

00:20:04.100 the first thing I thought of that I wanted to say is one of the biggest differences that

00:20:09.300 I see in terms of all of this is the target matters.

00:20:13.280 It is the target that always matters.

00:20:15.240 Is this someone that is influencing the public through their public position, whether the

00:20:21.120 highest paid, most powerful unelected bureaucrat in the United States, whether they be a U.S.

00:20:27.080 leader, a U.S. corporation or whenever.

00:20:29.660 And that's I've only ever see you target people like that or the media, on the other hand, who

00:20:36.100 do they target?

00:20:36.840 They target the little guy.

00:20:38.480 They'll target people in their homes.

00:20:40.240 Well, that's because-

00:20:41.040 They'll target somebody who had a Facebook post they didn't like.

00:20:44.200 Well, let's name names.

00:20:45.940 Mike Schmidt at the New York Times.

00:20:47.740 My wrists are so sore from the handcuffs that were just put on me.

00:20:51.800 And as the 10 to 12 federal agents leave my apartment with two plastic baggies with my

00:20:58.640 two iPhones in them, guess who text messages me while I'm still sitting there in a state

00:21:03.480 of shock?

00:21:04.100 Oh, it's Mike Schmidt at the New York Times who somehow knows the secret.

00:21:08.160 Grand jury subpoena information.

00:21:10.840 Again, I haven't been charged with anything, but somehow knows what's in the document that

00:21:14.820 I'm holding in my hand.

00:21:16.800 And guess what?

00:21:17.340 Oh, that's just-

00:21:17.820 What luck?

00:21:18.120 The neighbors didn't tip him off to that.

00:21:20.580 So I think what this comes down to, and there's one way to say this, and I write this in the

00:21:24.780 book, deceit is morally wrong.

00:21:27.720 Lying to anybody is.

00:21:29.160 But there are circumstances can arise in which undercover deceptions is relatively less wrong

00:21:35.280 than other possible courses of action, like coordinating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation

00:21:40.440 to target American journalists.

00:21:42.080 You should be ashamed of yourself, Dean Becquet.

00:21:44.600 Ben Smith at the New York Times defended me.

00:21:47.100 And by the way, I find it odd that Ben Smith is now leaving the New York Times.

00:21:50.000 He's leaving.

00:21:50.400 He's leaving, yeah.

00:21:51.040 Ben Smith defended me while Mike Schmidt wanted me led to the execution chamber for receiving

00:21:59.100 a document, which is what journalists do, by the way.

00:22:02.100 It's called Tuesday at the New York Times when they receive stolen material.

00:22:05.400 I don't even know if the document was stolen.

00:22:07.080 Even if it was, I'd be protected under Nikki V. Vopper.

00:22:10.480 So we are dealing with a post-truth Orwellian dystopia.

00:22:14.900 And that's the bad news.

00:22:15.900 The good news is there are so many people that are reaching out to Veritas right now.

00:22:20.780 And you too, Jack.

00:22:21.560 You're one of the only other investigative reporters, as far as I'm concerned, alive.

00:22:26.140 Thank you.

00:22:26.520 And I encourage you to not be afraid.

00:22:29.780 I encourage you to not.

00:22:30.780 I can guarantee you that they're far more afraid than I am.

00:22:34.240 They're actually desperate, which is evidenced by their actions of raiding the homes of journalists.

00:22:41.680 Fauci mentioned us in the hearing last week.

00:22:43.780 He's also afraid of what we have coming out.

00:22:47.260 So I encourage people to not live in fear and to not live by lies.

00:22:51.860 And, you know, I think there's hope still.

00:22:55.040 And the society has not collapsed yet.

00:22:57.660 The pendulum can swing back.

00:22:59.580 But we, the people, have to be willing to tell the truth.

00:23:03.540 James, we are just about out of time.

00:23:05.240 Tell us, where can people go to find out more about the book, to find out more about the tour?

00:23:09.560 Well, two things.

00:23:11.260 The book is on pre-sale.

00:23:13.000 We ask you to buy it.

00:23:14.280 All proceeds go to our nonprofit.

00:23:17.040 Project Veritas helps pay our salaries and our reporters' salaries.

00:23:20.800 So American Muckraker is the book.

00:23:23.000 You can buy it on Amazon.

00:23:24.660 AmericanMuckraker.com is where you can buy the book.

00:23:27.420 Also, there's a party in Miami, a book launch party in Miami, Florida, on January 29th of this month.

00:23:34.480 And there's still a few tickets left.
