[00:00:00] YouTube. We're live on Rumble. We're [00:00:02] live on Instagram. Live everywhere. And [00:00:04] I have a special announcement to make [00:00:06] about tomorrow. That's right. A special [00:00:10] announcement. [00:00:12] Tomorrow I am going to face a [00:00:14] deposition. And Mr. Producer, could you [00:00:17] throw up on the screen, Andrew, what [00:00:19] this looks like? This is in the United [00:00:21] States District Court for the Southern [00:00:23] District of New York. Project Veritoss [00:00:27] Ethol versus James O'Keeffe. [00:00:30] Uh if you notice, Project Veritas versus [00:00:32] James O'Keefe. Notice of deposition of [00:00:34] James O'Keefe. And this is Please take [00:00:37] notice that pursuant to the Federal Rule [00:00:39] of Civil Procedure. [00:00:41] There will be a deposition under oath [00:00:45] tomorrow, that's August 5th, 2025 at [00:00:49] 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. and the [00:00:51] testimony will be recorded by audio, [00:00:53] audiovisisual, and stenographic means. [00:00:56] Now, we're going to go through all of [00:00:57] this, including play some clips that [00:00:59] you've never heard before. We're going [00:01:02] to do all that on this show over the [00:01:05] next two hours. But first, to recap, [00:01:08] we're going to take you behind the [00:01:11] scenes of our story that we released [00:01:12] last week, give you a tease of what's [00:01:14] coming. So, pull up that clip of me [00:01:16] talking to Steve Bannon [00:01:18] uh about about the Department of [00:01:20] Justice. [00:01:21] You do the best investigative work out [00:01:23] there. You're one of the great warriors. [00:01:25] Yeah. These NOS's, you see the guy in [00:01:27] the video, another bad ombre. That guy [00:01:29] in that video should be arrested this [00:01:30] afternoon. And they're kind of laughing [00:01:32] at you. They're laughing in your face. [00:01:33] Have they Have they uh debriefed as [00:01:35] either DOJ or DHS debriefed your [00:01:38] investigative reporter yet? [00:01:40] >> It's rare that we get a statement from [00:01:41] the White House, Department of Justice, [00:01:43] and DHS, but they said, quote, "We are [00:01:45] going to take action." You are basically [00:01:47] telling the Justice Department and DHS, [00:01:50] we're not going to have mass [00:01:52] deportations until this problem's taken [00:01:54] care of. You're in DC. You should be [00:01:55] over there being interviewed by these [00:01:57] people right now. [00:01:57] >> So certainly that's the issue. I don't [00:02:00] have the power to arrest anybody. [00:02:02] >> I will make sure as soon as I'm off the [00:02:03] show, the people, the contacts I have, [00:02:05] you've got to be talked to, interviewed. [00:02:07] The audience is already all over this. [00:02:09] So, we met we were in DC meeting with [00:02:11] some people on Thursday and Friday of [00:02:14] last week about our story involving the [00:02:16] Vera Institute. Do we have that clip, [00:02:17] the undercover clip from the Vera [00:02:19] Institute official? The NGO officials [00:02:21] saying that they're possibly obstructing [00:02:23] justice and breaking the law. And we [00:02:25] have another story coming out this week [00:02:27] and next week featuring other federal [00:02:30] officials possibly violating the law. Of [00:02:32] course, we don't have the power to [00:02:33] arrest anybody. We do have the power to [00:02:36] expose that. But the Verance 2 clip, we [00:02:39] have more information out later this [00:02:41] week. But we're going to be deposed [00:02:43] tomorrow. So, I'm going to kind of start [00:02:45] taking you behind the scenes. If you're [00:02:46] just tuning in, we are being deposed [00:02:49] tomorrow in federal court. It seems like [00:02:51] every week I'm in federal court here at [00:02:53] OMG. [00:02:55] But this is in the litigation against my [00:02:57] own shadow. Project Vertas versus James [00:03:00] O'Keefe. And I'm the counterclaim [00:03:01] plaintiff. and we are going to take you [00:03:05] through it. So, let's go to the first [00:03:09] video tape. Andrew, this is the tape of [00:03:12] the board meeting. We're going to play [00:03:14] some clips that you've never seen [00:03:16] before, ladies and gentlemen, from May [00:03:18] of 2023. [00:03:21] This is the the pre-board meeting where [00:03:23] you can actually see the employees do [00:03:25] what looks like a revolt [00:03:28] against what is happening. So, we'll [00:03:30] start with that clip. We'll pause and [00:03:32] play it. [00:03:32] >> Joe, John Sullivan, Steph, [00:03:34] >> give it a pause for a second [00:03:36] >> and then as we're doing this, we'll [00:03:38] we'll be taking some calls. Isn't that [00:03:40] right? We're going to take some calls. [00:03:41] Now, how do you want to do that? [00:03:44] >> We'll bring that [00:03:45] >> people. They're going to bring the phone [00:03:46] in. We're going to actually be not on [00:03:48] the not on the spaces. That's for you [00:03:50] guys later. But we're going to bring the [00:03:52] phone in. But this is the pre-board [00:03:54] meeting from May of 2022. [00:03:58] All of the employees are assembled in [00:04:00] the room of Project Veritas [00:04:03] and this is the then CEO Hannah Giles. [00:04:06] You're looking at this and they are on [00:04:09] the phone with the board members Matthew [00:04:12] Tiermon and Joe Barton. We're going to [00:04:14] play this. It's about a 13minute clip. [00:04:16] We're going to pause and stop it. Let's [00:04:18] see how it goes. Play it. [00:04:20] >> HQ here. And we got and we're waiting [00:04:22] for John Garvey to jump on. [00:04:25] >> Who's HQ? Uh, we got most of the [00:04:28] employees in the room that feel like [00:04:31] they need to be heard. So, we figured [00:04:32] it'd be [00:04:33] >> we have a quorum. All right, let's [00:04:35] proceed. [00:04:36] >> No, we'll wait for John Garvey. [00:04:38] >> No, we have a quorum. Um, let's go and [00:04:41] proceed. [00:04:42] >> Pause. [00:04:43] >> No. Why would you go and proceed? Well, [00:04:45] we can wait a minute for John Garvey. [00:04:47] >> Because we've we've already waited 15 [00:04:49] minutes and have only allotted until [00:04:51] 5:00 for this meeting. [00:04:54] Well, we can go a few minutes later. [00:04:57] >> Pause the tape. Pause the tape. Sorry, [00:04:59] guys. So, you're listening to the board [00:05:02] members of Project Veraritoss talking to [00:05:05] each other on the phone in the [00:05:07] conference room with the the remaining [00:05:09] staff at that time. That's Matt and Joe [00:05:13] squabbling. Keep going. [00:05:15] >> I'll call I'll call John and see if he's [00:05:18] available. Joe, if if you can give me [00:05:20] just one second. [00:05:23] I'm going to right now. [00:05:24] >> Okay, awesome. Thank you, Stefon. [00:05:26] Appreciate it. [00:05:28] >> Now, pause. Now, this is a recording [00:05:31] they never wanted you to see. And I'll [00:05:32] get to the point in a minute. This is [00:05:34] I'm I'm being deposed tomorrow about all [00:05:36] of this. So, I want to kind of take you [00:05:38] behind the scenes about what this is all [00:05:40] about. Get into the weeds a little bit [00:05:41] here as I go under oath tomorrow. [00:05:45] Maybe I should live stream my deposition [00:05:47] tomorrow. Maybe that's what I should do. [00:05:49] I'll have to get permission from the [00:05:50] court. I'll ask. Keep going. [00:05:53] Is that John? [00:05:55] >> Yes. Hi. Hi guys. [00:05:56] >> Hey. How you doing? Uh so ju just to [00:06:00] start the meeting. Yeah. Just to just to [00:06:02] start the meeting, you guys might see a [00:06:04] bunch of people in a room here at HQ. [00:06:07] And uh ju just FYI, we're we're [00:06:10] recording the meeting for the beginning [00:06:12] of it anyway cuz um we feel a certain [00:06:15] issue needs to be addressed with respect [00:06:17] to uh a rumor that there's a mass exodus [00:06:21] waiting to happen for [00:06:24] uh because of Hannah assuming the CEO [00:06:26] role. And uh I'm going to let the [00:06:29] employees [00:06:30] either say yay or nay, however you guys [00:06:33] want to do this with respect. So, you're [00:06:35] listening to the chief financial officer [00:06:37] of then the chief financial officer of [00:06:40] Project Veritas, a guy named Tom O'Hara, [00:06:43] talking to the board members that [00:06:45] they're representing the company and [00:06:47] they're in the boardroom and they are uh [00:06:51] uh having this if if you're if you're [00:06:54] listening, you can't see it. If you're [00:06:55] on YouTube, they look like they're just [00:06:57] so unhappy. These are the the then [00:06:59] remaining employees prior to them all [00:07:02] being fired. Most of them being fired a [00:07:04] couple months later and Tom is [00:07:07] representing the union, if you will, [00:07:11] against Matt Tmont. Keep going [00:07:13] >> to their intentions to stay here and [00:07:15] help Hannah guide this thing through our [00:07:18] times and and and get to the other side [00:07:21] because that that's what these folks are [00:07:22] here for. So, I'm not really sure how to [00:07:24] proceed except I just wanted to show [00:07:26] that there's a lot of a lot of unity [00:07:27] here at HQ behind Hannah and her vision [00:07:30] of of as it's developed and her ability [00:07:34] to guide this organization through these [00:07:36] times through more successful times. So, [00:07:40] >> before calling the meeting to order, [00:07:41] before we officially started to order, [00:07:43] um we'll hear the employees and and um [00:07:45] Hannah's concerns. And um I'll just note [00:07:48] that the board did approve Hannah to be [00:07:50] CEO on a temporary 90-day basis on the [00:07:54] 15th of May and that's been embodied in [00:07:57] an agreement and and uh signed by Tom. [00:08:00] Um go ahead if you want to intro [00:08:03] introduce or whatever. [00:08:06] >> If we could just if we could just let uh [00:08:08] Hannah have the floor right now because [00:08:10] we're not calling a meeting and if you [00:08:12] talk out of order please Stefan just [00:08:14] mute mics. Go ahead, Hannah. [00:08:16] >> It seemed like there was a lot of [00:08:17] confusion this morning. Um there was [00:08:20] some intense conflict um that happened [00:08:24] and we cleared the air and I just [00:08:27] reassured people that I'm here. Um and [00:08:31] this is the coolest team that I've ever [00:08:34] gotten to work with and I'm honored to [00:08:36] >> So you're listening to the then CEO of [00:08:38] Project Veritas, the organization I [00:08:40] founded representing. She had just [00:08:43] joined the team uh I don't know about a [00:08:47] month prior and she is the ambassador on [00:08:51] behalf of the employees and now they're [00:08:52] taking a stand against the man who led [00:08:54] the crusade to have me fired. Keep [00:08:56] going. [00:08:57] >> Be amongst them and I'm going to bust my [00:09:00] ass to make sure that they have the [00:09:02] ceilings lifted off of them and they're [00:09:05] um able to pursue their visions and [00:09:08] dreams for this company as much as um [00:09:11] they'd like to. and Jake um is here. [00:09:14] Jake is in the communications department [00:09:16] and um he came hunting me down this [00:09:19] morning for clarity and I'd like Jake to [00:09:22] just talk about some of the things he's [00:09:24] confused about. [00:09:25] >> Yeah. Uh Matt, you called me this [00:09:28] morning. Uh expressed your, you know, [00:09:31] thoughts, concerns, all that. And uh I [00:09:34] didn't ask you I asked you about you. [00:09:37] >> Please, please mute it. Please mute it. [00:09:40] >> Pause. So that's that's Joe Barton. One [00:09:43] of the other one of the board members is [00:09:45] fighting against the other board member, [00:09:48] muting the board members microphone, and [00:09:50] one of the one of the junior employees [00:09:51] is now about to make a comment about the [00:09:54] board member wanting him to resign. [00:09:59] >> Mike and let the employees speak. Thank [00:10:01] you, Stefan. [00:10:03] >> Okay, I'm not going to get into [00:10:04] specifics, but I'm going to tell you [00:10:06] exactly what is going on right now. [00:10:10] We had a conversation this morning. I [00:10:12] came in to the office to clarify [00:10:15] confusion on my own end. I'm speaking [00:10:16] for myself. Came in to clarify [00:10:18] confusion. Turns out he lied to me. So, [00:10:22] you also asked me this morning, uh, [00:10:25] should I resign? And I think it's an [00:10:27] unequivocal yes. You should immediately [00:10:30] resign and leave. [00:10:33] Effective immediately. [00:10:37] >> Pause. So now now the junior employee is [00:10:41] demanding that Matt resign in front of [00:10:44] the entire staff. And the reason why [00:10:46] this is important everyone is because [00:10:48] I'm facing a federal deposition [00:10:49] tomorrow. [00:10:51] This show is to update you on the issues [00:10:55] and the video clips and some of the case [00:10:57] law involved and also to help our legal [00:11:01] defense fund expose and get to the [00:11:04] bottom finish our depositions about what [00:11:06] is happening. So let's keep going. [00:11:11] >> And I I would like to just address one [00:11:13] one thing in the room as well is that [00:11:16] there there is I guess concern about a [00:11:19] concentration of power uh in in Hannah's [00:11:22] role. But I think any anyone offered a [00:11:25] CEO position without the power and [00:11:27] authority that comes with that position [00:11:29] would be foolish to take it. And based [00:11:32] on multiple conversations, just getting [00:11:34] to know her over the last couple of [00:11:35] months, it's not like she's going to be [00:11:37] acting in a silo. Any any decisions, any [00:11:40] conversations I've had, input from Dan, [00:11:43] myself, you know, employees around the [00:11:46] organization. She she's not coming in as [00:11:48] a wrecking ball. So, she's going to be [00:11:50] coming in, gathering information, and [00:11:52] then moving a plan forward. [00:11:54] >> There's no walk out planned, talked [00:11:57] about, or actually happening whatsoever. [00:12:00] The only walk out should be Matt turn. [00:12:02] >> Pause. So that that is an incredible uh [00:12:05] moment that none of this has previously [00:12:08] been shown of one of the employees of [00:12:10] Project Veritas saying that Tiermon [00:12:13] needs to resign and they wanted this [00:12:17] deleted. And we're we're going to get [00:12:19] through all this. This is going to take [00:12:20] me about two hours to go through [00:12:22] everyone. So I'm I'm to so fasten your [00:12:24] seat belts and enjoy the ride. On my [00:12:27] telegram page, I have hyperlin a secure [00:12:31] link [00:12:32] uh to help defend me in the ongoing [00:12:34] project veritoss lawsuit and to help [00:12:37] fund the depositions of the remaining [00:12:39] board members. If you go on the James [00:12:41] Telegram page, you can donate at the [00:12:44] anod link [00:12:46] secure.anot.com anodot.com [00:12:48] liberty-guard/pv [00:12:51] and we are going to raise $100,000 [00:12:55] to finish discovery into all of these [00:12:58] things. We're trying to raise $102,000 [00:13:00] tonight. Donate and I'll have my team [00:13:03] get you on the line and we're going to [00:13:05] thank you as we go live here. So, we [00:13:07] have posted the link. We'll post the [00:13:09] link in the chat because people don't [00:13:11] know how to do type all that in the uh [00:13:13] in the spaces chat as well so that [00:13:15] people can click on something to donate [00:13:17] and then we're going to keep keep [00:13:18] playing the tape. This is the the the [00:13:20] board number they never want the board [00:13:21] meeting they never wanted you to see. [00:13:23] Keep going. [00:13:29] >> We're here. We're here. This is Pam and [00:13:32] I want to reiterate that uh my team is [00:13:36] 100% behind Hannah in her new role [00:13:39] leading us forward. So I don't know what [00:13:41] any kind of confusion or disparaging [00:13:44] remarks are being made about her [00:13:46] assuming this role, but it has to stop. [00:13:50] Pause. So that was Pam Brown, the [00:13:53] executive producer, lead producer. Then [00:13:55] all these people have been fired, [00:13:58] but at the time they're they're they're [00:14:00] coming to her defense against against [00:14:03] what what the board members were doing. [00:14:05] And by the way, if you want to know how [00:14:07] to support us, [00:14:09] the link is in the description of the [00:14:12] YouTube and we're posting the link in [00:14:14] the chat. It's an anod. You can donate [00:14:16] to our legal defense fund. We are [00:14:19] getting to the bottom of this. It's [00:14:20] important to get to the bottom of this. [00:14:22] People say, "Oh, Keefe, what outcome do [00:14:24] you want?" What is the outcome that you [00:14:26] want? The outcome that we want is the [00:14:28] truth. [00:14:29] We want the truth. We want people to [00:14:31] know what happened. That's what we're [00:14:34] about here. And I and the rhetorical [00:14:36] question I would ask as I dive into the [00:14:39] details is, should we give up? [00:14:44] Do you guys want me to just walk away? [00:14:47] Do you want me to just give up? [00:14:50] um or do you want me to keep fighting [00:14:51] this? [00:14:53] And if I were to put out a poll question [00:14:55] today and say, "Do you want me to give [00:14:56] up or do you want me to keep fighting?" [00:14:57] I would like to hear your guys' answers. [00:14:59] If you want me not to give up, I need [00:15:01] your support. I need your help. [00:15:04] It seems like every week I'm in court. [00:15:08] We have an update in the other cases as [00:15:10] well, but we're focusing on this one. We [00:15:12] are watching the pre-board meeting. [00:15:14] Let's keep rolling the tape. [00:15:19] We just thought that the board should [00:15:20] know that, you know, the the employees [00:15:22] are behind Hannah [00:15:24] >> 100%. [00:15:33] >> Is there anything else? [00:15:36] No, [00:15:36] >> I heard a rumor that if Joe Barton got [00:15:38] voted off the board of directors or or [00:15:41] no that Joe Barton was going to get [00:15:42] voted off the board of directors and I [00:15:43] just want to make myself very clear that [00:15:45] if Joe Barton gets voted off the board [00:15:47] of directors, I'm out. Okay, pause. So, [00:15:51] that's pretty extraordinary uh that the [00:15:54] then CEO of Project Veraritoss is [00:15:56] demanding that [00:16:00] one guy stays or they all go. This is [00:16:03] the ultimate ultimatum. Let's see what [00:16:06] the reaction is. [00:16:08] >> And honestly, I would strugg I would [00:16:10] struggle to stay here without Hannah's [00:16:13] guidance as well. [00:16:14] >> Okay. That's the chief financial officer [00:16:17] saying that he's going to resign if [00:16:19] Hannah goes. So, they're all going to [00:16:21] get off a sinking ship. [00:16:23] >> Keep going. [00:16:24] >> Stay here without Hannah's guidance. [00:16:26] >> And if I [00:16:26] >> nor would any of us No, [00:16:29] >> if I if I could say one thing. Um, [00:16:31] >> okay. Pause. Now you're listening to the [00:16:33] voice of the IT associate, Angela [00:16:36] Martinez. [00:16:38] He's the individual that published uh [00:16:41] the medical information about RC Maxwell [00:16:43] that was obtained off of the employees [00:16:45] phone. This is in the meeting. Go ahead. [00:16:48] >> You know, Freddy, you my buddy Eric, you [00:16:51] know, a lot of people, not a lot of [00:16:53] people actually have been here a long [00:16:54] time. We want to move forward. Um, and [00:16:58] we're tired of the chaos. We want to get [00:17:00] back to work. Um, we're tired of the [00:17:03] rumors. We're tired of getting calls. [00:17:05] I'm tired of getting anxiety. Like, I'm [00:17:07] tired of it all. I I want to do I want [00:17:09] to like do God's work and like keep [00:17:11] going with the mission. And the mission [00:17:14] can't continue if every other week or [00:17:16] every other month we're going to have [00:17:18] like high school drama to be honest with [00:17:22] you. And you know, it's funny coming [00:17:23] from like a lot of us are young. A lot [00:17:25] of us are 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 years [00:17:28] old. High school was only a decade ago. [00:17:30] So, I just we need to move on and we [00:17:33] need to move forward. And [00:17:35] >> however that has to like happen, I'll [00:17:37] tell you right now, I've been here with [00:17:38] Tom. Like Tom goes, no one's staying [00:17:41] here. I want I want to be very very [00:17:44] clear. George, you know, you know. [00:17:46] >> So, you're you're listening to the IT [00:17:48] associate saying they want to be done [00:17:51] with the drama. They're tired of the [00:17:52] vendettas against James O'Keefe. [00:17:54] For those of you just tuning in, we are [00:17:57] I'm being deposed tomorrow and you're [00:17:59] watching some tapes they tried to [00:18:02] delete. They tried to delete what you're [00:18:04] about to hear and we got them and we are [00:18:08] going to be deposing the remaining board [00:18:11] members. [00:18:14] The quest is to never give up. We have [00:18:17] people that are donating to our legal [00:18:19] defense and we're going to get them on [00:18:20] the phone [00:18:22] very soon. For those of you who want to [00:18:25] support us, the hyperlink is in the [00:18:27] chats. It's in the channel. The anod [00:18:30] donation link to fund some of these [00:18:32] depositions. Keep playing. Oh, [00:18:34] >> me, Joe, Matt, like I'm telling you [00:18:38] right now, these people leave like it's [00:18:40] not like all the other times where [00:18:42] people are going to come back. It's [00:18:43] going to close shop and it's going to be [00:18:45] over. It's going to be done. And I've [00:18:47] started to accept that now. [00:18:49] >> Pause. Thank you Joyce from New York for [00:18:51] the first donation of the night. And [00:18:53] thank you so much James from Pensacola [00:18:56] for the donation. We see it coming in [00:18:58] guys. We appreciate it. We have a [00:19:00] deposition tomorrow. I may be live [00:19:02] streaming this deposition. [00:19:04] I will I hope to be live streaming my [00:19:07] deposition. [00:19:09] They want to bring me to court. They [00:19:10] want to bring me put me under oath. [00:19:13] All of you need to see how this goes. [00:19:15] Keep playing. [00:19:16] >> And I don't want to accept that. I want [00:19:17] to keep going. But as long as this stuff [00:19:20] keeps going on, it's just it's just it's [00:19:24] and that it's just a roller coaster [00:19:25] that's ready to fall off the trucks and [00:19:26] die. So that's all I have to say about [00:19:28] that. [00:19:30] >> That was Angela Martinez. [00:19:32] >> Keep going. [00:19:35] >> Matt, you said that you were willing to [00:19:36] resign this morning to me. Do you still [00:19:38] stand by that? [00:19:40] >> Pause. Now the the employee Jake Mantel [00:19:44] is giving an ultimatum to the board [00:19:46] member. You need to resign. You [00:19:48] absolutely need to resign. Let's see [00:19:50] what he says. [00:19:54] >> No, he muted. [00:19:56] >> He's on mute now. [00:19:57] >> Let's take take him off. You can answer. [00:20:02] >> I don't have those. [00:20:03] >> Take him. I can't take him off. Um, he [00:20:06] has to hit the button. Unmute. [00:20:13] Uh that is a incorrect fact pattern. [00:20:16] Jake, I called you to ask a question [00:20:19] about the audit related to Vega and you [00:20:21] expressed to me things, not the other [00:20:23] way around. So that is a 100% [00:20:26] >> Vega. You never mentioned her name once. [00:20:28] Don't lie right now either. You can't [00:20:30] cover your ass. [00:20:31] >> All right. So So So now, now they're [00:20:33] having a fight in front of the entire [00:20:35] staff. Uh the the board members saying [00:20:39] it's an incorrect fact pattern what [00:20:41] you're saying, but this is some high [00:20:44] drama here uh from now two years ago. [00:20:48] Actually, two years ago this happened, [00:20:50] but we're just getting the videotapes [00:20:51] now in this federal lawsuit to get to [00:20:54] the bottom of what happened. Keep going. [00:20:57] >> Can't your ass, dude. Stop lying. Stop [00:20:59] whining. [00:21:01] protection. [00:21:02] >> That is why I called as per the email [00:21:03] this morning from the auditors about a [00:21:05] fact pattern and I asked who was in that [00:21:07] house and who knew about that and then [00:21:09] you went nuts about a whole thing. [00:21:11] You're going to put this in the chat [00:21:12] command and all hands. Why did Dan [00:21:14] leave? So, you know this is you're [00:21:17] revising history pretty dramatically [00:21:18] right there. [00:21:19] >> No, I apologize. I thought you were [00:21:20] talking about something else. You're [00:21:21] right. [00:21:21] >> So, pause. So, when you guys donate, [00:21:23] please do leave your number when you [00:21:25] donate so we can call them and thank [00:21:28] them. And if you want to call into the [00:21:30] show, we ask for you to support us, [00:21:32] donate to our legal defense fund, and [00:21:34] you'll and we'll get you on the phone [00:21:35] and support and uh and talk to you about [00:21:38] what you think about what you're [00:21:39] listening to and get your thoughts. Keep [00:21:41] going. And we'll also get some people on [00:21:43] the spaces to call in as well as we Oh, [00:21:47] we have a caller. Someone on the phone. [00:21:51] All right, stand by everyone. This is [00:21:53] Richard from Tennessee and Wanda from [00:21:56] Clay, New York. Thank you so much for [00:21:58] the support. Raymond from Fremont, [00:22:01] California. Thank you. So, we got [00:22:03] Raymond from Fremont. Richard from [00:22:05] Tennessee. Wanda from Clay, New York. [00:22:07] This is Richard on the phone. Hey, [00:22:09] Richard. [00:22:10] >> Hello. [00:22:11] >> Hey, Richard. James O'Keeffe here. [00:22:14] >> It's good talking to you, brother. [00:22:15] >> Nice. Thank you for the uh support for [00:22:18] our legal defense fund. I'm in a [00:22:20] deposition tomorrow in federal court, [00:22:24] >> and I'll be listening if I have a chance [00:22:26] to. Well, I appreciate that very much. [00:22:28] Do you do you think that I should um [00:22:29] just walk away from this whole thing or [00:22:32] keep fighting it all the way to the end? [00:22:35] >> You you fought to the end. No, don't [00:22:37] walk away. [00:22:38] >> But how do I afford to pay all these [00:22:40] lawyers? [00:22:41] >> Well, just keep trying to get people to [00:22:44] donate money, I guess. You know, surely [00:22:46] there's enough patriots to, you know, [00:22:50] turn into some cash to help out. [00:22:52] >> Well, I appreciate you very, very, very [00:22:55] much. And um what are what are your [00:22:56] thoughts upon this whole thing? I mean, [00:22:59] just just tell us what you think. [00:23:01] >> Well, from what I know, James, I mean, [00:23:04] it all seems like you were uh Matt He [00:23:08] was totally dishonest from the get-go. [00:23:11] >> Yeah. [00:23:12] >> So, I mean, and I don't know what his [00:23:14] I'm not sure if I understand what his [00:23:17] beef is with you, but I mean, you know, [00:23:20] the way I see it, Matt, it's in the [00:23:21] wrong. Well, we still have to depose the [00:23:24] chief financial officer of the [00:23:26] organization. [00:23:28] And we've learned that the [00:23:31] current chairman suspects that the chief [00:23:33] financial officer was possibly doing [00:23:36] something funny with money. So, we're [00:23:38] looking into that. But, Richard, I just [00:23:41] wanted to say thank you so much and uh [00:23:43] stay tuned. [00:23:45] >> Thank you, James, for your effort. [00:23:46] >> All right. Thanks, Richard. Okay, let's [00:23:48] go back to the video tape. hit it [00:23:51] >> on that situation. That's why I came to [00:23:54] a voted on [00:23:56] >> I apologize but you did say [00:23:59] >> but you did say that to me this morning [00:24:01] the house and Charlottesville and then [00:24:02] you unloaded. [00:24:03] >> No no I yes I I apologize that is what [00:24:06] happened but you I came in here for [00:24:08] clarification from Hannah's end cuz I [00:24:10] didn't want to take your word at face [00:24:11] value but what I'm asking is what you [00:24:13] said to me earlier this morning about [00:24:16] should I resign. I didn't answer you, [00:24:19] but I'm asking. Do you still do you [00:24:21] still consider yourself that you think [00:24:22] you should? [00:24:24] >> I'm weighing my options. [00:24:25] >> Pause. So, that's that's the young [00:24:27] employee asking if the board member [00:24:29] should resign. The board member refuses [00:24:31] and says he's weighing his options. [00:24:34] Is there any more of that tape? Let's [00:24:35] play a little more of that tape. [00:24:38] >> Quick, buddy. [00:24:39] >> But your entire [00:24:41] uh underlying fact pattern that you just [00:24:43] presented is facious. [00:24:45] you unloaded in a manic fit about Dan [00:24:48] about the the stress in the place. So [00:24:51] >> Matthew your your testimony [00:24:53] >> and and then this is you're about to [00:24:54] hear from the CEO the then CEO of [00:24:56] Project Varatas who addresses the board [00:24:57] member directly. Go ahead, [00:24:59] >> Matthew. Everyone here [00:25:02] >> has voiced separately that that the [00:25:05] stress that you've put on them and the [00:25:08] the fact patterns and the details and [00:25:12] what they see you're doing to the [00:25:14] organization. They think uh that you [00:25:17] should resign. They think that you're [00:25:19] using the organization for a personal [00:25:21] vendetta and that you will drive it into [00:25:23] the ground just for your personal [00:25:26] justice and vengeance against James. [00:25:29] >> Wow. [00:25:30] >> They feel that [00:25:33] they feel that. [00:25:33] >> I would like full sampling back. [00:25:37] >> Okay. So what you just heard is is um [00:25:42] what you just heard is the CEO then CEO [00:25:46] asking Matt [00:25:48] that or telling Matt that the entire the [00:25:51] all all the organization wants him to [00:25:52] resign and he's saying that's not [00:25:54] accurate. I want full fact patterns. [00:25:57] Keep going. [00:26:00] >> James's heart you said you wanted James' [00:26:03] heart but carved out this something like [00:26:06] that. He said he wanted James's heart [00:26:09] carved out with a spoon. [00:26:13] That is demonic. We've heard that [00:26:15] before, but now we're hearing it for the [00:26:16] first time from the board member. We [00:26:18] have Dter. What is it? Pet, excuse me, [00:26:21] Peter on the phone. Cape Coral, Florida. [00:26:24] How you doing, Peter? [00:26:25] >> Hey, James. I'm doing no great. She said [00:26:29] spine fusion. [00:26:31] >> What? What' you say? They fused my spine [00:26:35] with plates and screws. [00:26:37] >> They They fused your spine. [00:26:40] I'm Yep. [00:26:41] >> I'm I'm very heart I'm very sorry. When [00:26:42] did they do that to you? [00:26:44] >> 10 days ago. [00:26:45] >> Well, how are you feeling [00:26:46] >> for a while? Doing pretty good today. [00:26:50] >> Well, yourself. [00:26:52] >> Well, I'm doing I'm being deposed [00:26:53] tomorrow. [00:26:54] >> Yeah, James, you know, here's the thing. [00:26:57] You're putting out content. I don't [00:27:00] understand. Your team and your minions [00:27:03] are out there exposing [ __ ] What What's [00:27:06] What is Project Veraritoss doing? [00:27:08] >> I don't know. They're deposing me [00:27:10] tomorrow, though. [00:27:11] >> I know that, but they're not doing it. [00:27:13] >> I guess they're trying to get They're [00:27:15] trying to get me. They're trying to to [00:27:17] take me down. I don't I don't know. What [00:27:19] do you think they're trying to do? [00:27:22] From the very beginning, I had no idea [00:27:25] except that you're exposing the real [00:27:27] problem, the real people. And I don't [00:27:31] know. They see I don't know what the [00:27:32] hell was going on there. [00:27:34] >> Do you think that I should give up or [00:27:35] litigate all the way to the end, [00:27:38] >> James? I couldn't even imagine you [00:27:40] giving up. I don't know. [00:27:42] >> Well, some people say I should just walk [00:27:44] away. [00:27:45] >> Who? Yeah, that's probably the people at [00:27:48] Project Veritas. Well, well, well, we [00:27:51] have to raise money to keep this going. [00:27:53] So, I would, [00:27:54] >> well, you know, I gave a little before [00:27:56] and I saw this was on Twitter and first [00:27:59] I was on spaces, but I couldn't see [00:28:02] anything. So, I switched over and then I [00:28:04] had the link and I thought, well, I'm [00:28:06] going to donate again. And I only had to [00:28:10] do a one-time donation and I just picked [00:28:13] the minimum, 25 bucks. [00:28:16] >> Well, we really appreciate it. [00:28:17] >> That's two donations. [00:28:20] Well, without it, we're dead in the [00:28:21] water and we have to raise the money to [00:28:23] keep the litigation going. What you [00:28:25] >> know, James, you keep my money [00:28:28] regardless because you guys deserve my [00:28:30] money. [ __ ] [00:28:32] >> Well, we really appreciate it. Um, and I [00:28:36] hope you're you're going to be okay with [00:28:37] your spine. I [00:28:39] >> You know, it's elective thing. I I could [00:28:42] barely get around. So, I I pray to the [00:28:44] Lord, James. You know that. [00:28:46] >> Well, it's a it's a spiritual battle. [00:28:48] That's what I've discovered. [00:28:50] >> I You're definitely in that. We're all [00:28:52] in it. [00:28:53] >> But uh they tried to shut me down. They [00:28:56] failed. But it's costing us a lot of [00:28:58] money. I think the challenge is a lot of [00:29:01] people would give up. And people ask me, [00:29:03] oh, you know, what outcome do you want? [00:29:06] It's like I don't operate in that [00:29:08] mindset. I don't operate in the mindset [00:29:10] of I'm trying to wind or get power. What [00:29:14] I'm operating from the mindset is I want [00:29:15] to get to the truth and I wanted to [00:29:18] expose the evil involved and what was [00:29:21] behind it. That's what I'm trying to [00:29:23] use. I You just got this video recently. [00:29:27] This seems to be like a slam dunk. They [00:29:30] hit it, right? [00:29:31] >> You have it. It's obvious. But you know [00:29:34] what? Evil is winning in the courts [00:29:36] right now. [00:29:37] Well, I I I told my team last week that, [00:29:42] you know, there's three levels to the [00:29:44] fight. This is actually something shared [00:29:45] with me by Rick Dante, the whistleblower [00:29:47] at Florida Tech, who was a neuros who is [00:29:50] a neuroscientist. He was an astronaut [00:29:52] with NASA, analog astronaut, and he [00:29:54] didn't want to lie. So, he's been [00:29:56] terminated. And um he told me this. He [00:30:00] said, you know, when you are in the [00:30:03] beginning of your life, you're you're [00:30:05] fighting, you're you're running, you're [00:30:07] athletic, and the second part of your [00:30:09] existence, you're you're getting you're [00:30:10] accumulating money and financial power, [00:30:12] and you're positioning that way. And and [00:30:14] towards the end of the life, you're [00:30:16] you're fighting the powers and [00:30:18] principalities. If you're lucky, you get [00:30:20] to that realization. So, what we [00:30:22] realized is that this is not a political [00:30:24] fight. It's a fight against evil. What [00:30:27] is how does evil manifest? It manifests [00:30:30] in terms of the deadly sins. It [00:30:32] manifests in terms of uh powers and [00:30:36] principalities, narcissism, darkness, [00:30:39] pride, and these types of human emotions [00:30:43] that we fight against. That's what the [00:30:45] crusade is really about. It's about And [00:30:48] most of the bad guys that I bust, I they [00:30:52] don't apologize. [00:30:53] No, [00:30:54] >> they don't a So, you mentioned the video [00:30:55] last week, where is the Department of [00:30:57] Justice? [00:30:59] you know, I don't I don't have the power [00:31:01] to arrest people. Um, so it's pretty [00:31:05] crazy. We have one comment. James, you [00:31:07] are an effing liar. You know, everything [00:31:09] you do is theater. I'm roleplaying. And [00:31:11] it's just it's pretty they they accuse [00:31:13] me of what they're guilty of. And evil [00:31:16] manifests when good people do nothing. [00:31:19] That's what happens. So [00:31:22] anyways, I've got to take some more [00:31:24] calls and I got a lot to get through, [00:31:25] but thank you for the phone call tonight [00:31:28] and thank you for the donation for our [00:31:29] legal defense. [00:31:30] >> Your work, James, and I recommend [00:31:32] everybody donate. [00:31:34] >> Everyone is going to donate. We're just [00:31:35] getting started. We are not going to [00:31:37] give up.

All of you rock. All of you [00:32:19] donated. We are being deposed tomorrow. [00:32:22] I am being deposed tomorrow. [00:32:27] Now, after this board meeting, we just [00:32:29] released this board meeting. I want to [00:32:30] show you some emails. [00:32:34] Andrew, let's pull up the email from [00:32:37] from Matthew Tierond, May 24th, 2023 to [00:32:41] Tom O'Hara. And let's give that a read. [00:32:46] This is pretty crazy what you're about [00:32:48] to see. It says on the bottom, Tom, [00:32:51] well, I'm going to read it to you. This [00:32:52] is an email from the board member. Good [00:32:54] talking to you a few minutes ago. Thank [00:32:55] you for agreeing to send me a copy of [00:32:57] yesterday's recorded ambush, that's the [00:32:59] video you just saw, of a junior [00:33:01] employees demand that I resigned from [00:33:03] the board at the commencement of [00:33:04] yesterday's meeting. the employee Jake [00:33:07] Mantel who is functioning under a gross [00:33:09] perversion of the fact pattern which I [00:33:11] demonstrated with his admission I called [00:33:13] him regarding I should know that I was [00:33:15] recorded I was recorded unbeknouncsted [00:33:18] to me sitting in here Florida which is a [00:33:20] two-party consent state as we all know [00:33:22] and as we know a board meeting of [00:33:23] nonprofit is not a public forum and [00:33:27] there is a good faith reasonable [00:33:29] expectation of privacy and should that [00:33:31] leak in an attempted weaponization of [00:33:34] fact pattern for whatever reason that [00:33:36] would clearly be problematic and not in [00:33:38] the best interest of the organization or [00:33:39] anyone part of the proceeding in [00:33:40] question. Hm. So, this is an email from [00:33:44] the board member to the chief financial [00:33:46] officer. Final paragraph, quote, "Your [00:33:48] assurance that upon secure transfer to [00:33:50] me of this unsanctioned and illegally [00:33:52] recorded," That's kind of funny. They [00:33:54] say it's illegal. They're the ones who [00:33:56] record it. [00:33:58] Your assurance that upon secret [00:34:00] transfer, look at these comments. Who [00:34:02] doesn't love James chasing dudes into [00:34:04] the lady's room? More like James [00:34:06] mischief. James is a theater guy. These [00:34:09] guys are in the comment section trying [00:34:11] to try to, [00:34:13] you know, sabotage and interfere with [00:34:16] our success of what we're doing here. [00:34:17] Quote, "Your asssurance that upon secure [00:34:19] transfer to me of this unsanctioned and [00:34:21] legally recorded captured audio visual [00:34:23] file, it shall be purged. So that should [00:34:26] not be used extrajudicially in any way, [00:34:28] shape, or form." [00:34:30] What's that last word? Is appreciated. [00:34:33] That's the email from Matt Tiermon to uh [00:34:36] the chief financial officer asking him [00:34:39] to delete the email. Now, let's see what [00:34:41] the chief financial officer said back. [00:34:48] And this is from Tom back to Matt. It [00:34:52] says, quote, attached is the link to the [00:34:53] video. As you'll hear, there was no [00:34:55] there was notification the meeting was [00:34:57] being recorded, which happened prior to [00:34:59] the board meeting starting. Another [00:35:01] point of clarity, the employees [00:35:02] requested that the meeting be recorded, [00:35:04] and I agreed with them and asked [00:35:06] production to set the camera up. There [00:35:09] is no plan to distribute this recording [00:35:11] anywhere, and there may be stills taken [00:35:13] from the recording showing the employees [00:35:15] figuratively and literally standing [00:35:16] behind the new CEO as PV moves forward [00:35:19] to use her in the video. If you're just [00:35:22] tuning in, I'm being toosed tomorrow. [00:35:25] We're taking you through the exhibits. [00:35:26] We're taking you through the vide tape. [00:35:28] We're showing the depositions and we're [00:35:31] getting donations from generous people [00:35:34] out there. You can donate to our legal [00:35:36] defense funds so we can depose them and [00:35:40] keep the litigation going. [00:35:44] Now, [00:35:46] after this happened [00:35:48] Tuesday, May 30th, let's pull up the [00:35:51] undergarments video. This is insane, by [00:35:53] the way, what I'm about to show you. I [00:35:55] don't think we published this yet. [00:35:58] This is an email [00:36:00] from one of the board members to the [00:36:03] other board members [00:36:05] and it's in response [00:36:08] to discussions about making private text [00:36:11] message conversations of the board [00:36:13] members public. [00:36:15] The board member, Matthew Tiermon, says, [00:36:17] quote, I agree in practice that since no [00:36:20] one here did anything illegal or [00:36:23] promoted doing anything illegal, [00:36:26] we did not. Again, I'm reading a quote [00:36:28] from this email. And thank you Angelo [00:36:31] from Amarillo, Lisa from Manuka, Tara [00:36:35] from Florida, Laura from Michigan. We [00:36:37] really, really, greatly appreciate the [00:36:38] donations. Every dollar funds our legal [00:36:42] defense. It's one of the great [00:36:44] challenges of investigative reporting [00:36:46] that and the paragon of investigative [00:36:48] reporting is to tell the truth. But it's [00:36:51] very expensive [00:36:53] and in order to continue doing it to [00:36:56] make it sustainable, we have to litigate [00:36:59] to the bitter bitter bitter bitter end. [00:37:02] Here we go. quote, "We did not auction [00:37:05] off James' girlfriend's undergarments [00:37:08] despite Joe Barton, the other board [00:37:10] member, suggesting in a group text to [00:37:12] all of us in April, [00:37:14] cooler heads prevailed there, [00:37:17] thankfully, [00:37:18] nor did any of us sexually harass any [00:37:21] female employee unless texting a female [00:37:23] employee offering them free hugs would [00:37:25] qualify." So that's one board member [00:37:28] accusing the other of talking about [00:37:32] auction auctioning off my girlfriend's [00:37:36] underwear. This is insane. [00:37:38] This is disgraceful. [00:37:41] This is disgusting. [00:37:46] And it's all coming out two years. [00:37:48] Everyone's moved on, right? Everyone [00:37:49] moves moves on. That's how it works. The [00:37:52] truth comes out years later. I know [00:37:55] people are saying, "What?" Oh my god. [00:37:58] That's right. These are the board [00:38:01] members of Project Veritas discussing [00:38:04] auctioning off auctioning off my [00:38:08] girlfriend's underwear. [00:38:13] This is disgusting. [00:38:16] and offering employees free hugs and a [00:38:18] raise if they can get them to get me to [00:38:22] get to, you know, if they can get them [00:38:23] to turn on me, I'm going to keep going. [00:38:27] In which case, that would be grossly [00:38:28] problematic and might lead to future [00:38:30] legal problems as the power dynamic [00:38:32] between such a male board member and a [00:38:34] female employee could be illitable and [00:38:36] publicly problematic for the [00:38:38] organization [00:38:41] and [00:38:43] would be actual harassment. This is what [00:38:45] Matt Turmont is saying about his fellow [00:38:46] board member. Sexually harassing other [00:38:49] employees within the company. [00:38:52] You know, oftentimes they accuse you of [00:38:54] what they're guilty of. By the way, [00:38:57] that's evil. [00:39:01] So, the rhetorical question I have, it's [00:39:03] not rhetorical, it's direct, is should I [00:39:04] give up or litigate all the way the bit [00:39:06] to the bitter end? I have uh is this [00:39:09] Sunny or Sunonnie on the phone? [00:39:12] >> Sunonny. [00:39:12] >> Sunonny. How are you doing, sir? [00:39:14] >> I'm doing great. Thank you. Great to [00:39:16] speak with you. James, [00:39:16] >> where are you calling from today? [00:39:18] >> Macallen, Texas. [00:39:19] >> What's on your mind? [00:39:21] >> Uh, I think it's just apparent what [00:39:24] they're doing to you. I mean, um I mean, [00:39:28] everything that you go through to expose [00:39:31] the uh corruption and everything else [00:39:33] that goes on in the world, it's it's [00:39:36] brave. It's patriotic. And God's hand is [00:39:39] placed upon you. That's why you can't [00:39:41] give up. you're uh you know an [00:39:44] inspiration, man. [00:39:45] >> Thank you so much. Are you hearing live [00:39:48] what we're saying on the show about [00:39:49] these recordings and emails? [00:39:52] >> Yeah, I am. It's uh I mean it's the most [00:39:57] backstabbing thing I've ever seen in my [00:39:59] life. You think you know people, you you [00:40:01] hire them in and uh they take you out [00:40:05] like that and then try to depose you on [00:40:08] top of this. Look, you deserve all the [00:40:10] support. I recommend everybody open your [00:40:12] wallet, help this man out. Let's start [00:40:15] donating, getting this fund going. And [00:40:17] um yeah, no, I think that you're doing a [00:40:20] great job, James. Keep it up, man. [00:40:21] >> Um what do you you don't think I should [00:40:24] give up? [00:40:27] >> Well, I mean, there's there's always a [00:40:29] point, right? Um I mean, like it it is [00:40:31] uh it is a thing. It is poetic to say [00:40:36] never give up. There's always a point, [00:40:37] though. I mean, you know, there's some [00:40:40] fights that are better left uh on the [00:40:43] table if it's worth it. Is it worth it? [00:40:46] Look, I mean, you're doing the Lord's [00:40:48] work. You're moving sometimes moving [00:40:50] forward and leaving the past in the past [00:40:52] is is one option. Um I don't know like [00:40:56] you know the financial situation that [00:40:58] you're in if it's worth it to [00:40:59] >> Well, we need to raise another $98,000. [00:41:01] We need to raise another another [00:41:03] $98,000. [00:41:04] >> By when? [00:41:06] By when? [00:41:08] >> Today. [00:41:09] >> Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. [00:41:13] >> Well, then everyone needs to get on [00:41:14] board. Help James right now. Let's get [00:41:17] this man this money. [00:41:20] >> Well, thank you. And and you did, Sunny. [00:41:22] You just did donate. So, I appreciate [00:41:23] that very much. [00:41:24] >> Yeah. You're welcome, James. Good luck, [00:41:26] man. [00:41:26] >> Yeah. Thank you so much. Well, look, we [00:41:29] have Bobby Har on the show. Bobby Har is [00:41:33] one of the employees at Project [00:41:34] Veraritoss. [00:41:36] What should I do? Should I let him call [00:41:37] in? Should I hear what he has to say? [00:41:40] Should I make him a speaker? [00:41:42] >> Yes. [00:41:43] >> Okay. [00:41:45] I invited Bobby Hart to speak [00:41:48] your invites in your he's one of the one [00:41:51] of the employees who [00:41:53] had the board meeting on February 6th [00:41:56] and came out [00:41:59] and uh and testified against me. So, I'm [00:42:02] happy to talk to you, Bobby. [00:42:05] Okay. And thank you so much uh for that [00:42:08] call, Sunny. And we're going to keep [00:42:09] taking phone calls. We're going to talk [00:42:11] to you. This is going on for a little [00:42:12] while. I don't go live till 9:00 a.m. [00:42:15] tomorrow on my deposition. [00:42:19] So, [00:42:21] oh, hello, Bobby. How you doing? [00:42:23] >> James, you want you How you doing, [00:42:25] James? You want me to speak for what? [00:42:28] Well, I'd like I'd like to ask you in [00:42:30] that February 6th board meeting when you [00:42:33] were called to testify, do you have any [00:42:36] regrets? [00:42:39] >> No, James, I've been very clear to you [00:42:42] and you might if you want to go ahead [00:42:44] and post the responses back and forth [00:42:47] between you and I in our DMs. This is [00:42:50] about the fact simply and the reason [00:42:52] that I went to that board meeting and I [00:42:53] testified is I don't think you can grasp [00:42:56] this. I don't think you're physically [00:42:58] capable of doing this. Nobody likes you [00:43:01] that has worked for you. Okay. You're an [00:43:03] [ __ ] and I testified to you being an [00:43:06] [ __ ] I don't know why that's so [00:43:08] complicated to you. You you go through [00:43:11] this thing of, you know, we must be part [00:43:13] of some evil cabal. They must be, you [00:43:16] know, paid off or whatever and this and [00:43:18] that. James, you're just an [ __ ] And [00:43:21] I told you you're an [ __ ] I don't [00:43:22] know why you can't accept that. Here you [00:43:24] are again not letting it go. And it [00:43:26] proves to show how much this affects [00:43:28] your ego. Here you are again seeing me [00:43:31] listening to this and requesting me to [00:43:34] speak wide. So you can ask me questions [00:43:36] about [ __ ] that I have nothing to do [00:43:38] with. Go ahead. You're not going to get [00:43:40] any answer from me on anything I don't [00:43:42] have to do with. But my answer to your [00:43:44] first question, no. I don't have any [00:43:46] regrets. I don't like you. You're an [00:43:48] absolute prick. And I told everyone in [00:43:50] the board meeting why. Do you have any [00:43:52] more questions for me? Did you abuse [00:43:54] drugs while employed at Project [00:43:56] Veraritoss? [00:43:57] >> I told you this too. Let me go back to [00:43:59] what I just said. You're just reading [00:44:02] off a off a thing right now of [00:44:04] questions. Let me tell you what I just [00:44:05] said. [00:44:07] I told you everything in that, including [00:44:10] our DMs. Please release them. Okay. I [00:44:13] told you and I pointed you to a tweet. [00:44:15] Public knowledge. I'm two years in [00:44:18] recovery and I'm sober. So, yeah. while [00:44:21] while I was on the job. No, but yeah, I [00:44:24] was a drug and alcohol addict for two [00:44:26] years. I or for years. I'm not ashamed [00:44:28] of that. I'm in recovery and you're not [00:44:31] going to sit here and put me down for [00:44:32] it. Try if you want to, but I I've [00:44:35] cleaned my life up and I had a problem [00:44:37] and I don't anymore. So, what's your [00:44:39] next question? [00:44:40] >> Did you abuse drugs while at Project [00:44:42] Veraritoss? [00:44:44] >> What What do you mean by while at [00:44:46] Project Veraritoss? I worked for [00:44:47] project. [00:44:48] >> Well, you said you've been clean for 2 [00:44:49] years and this happened two and a half, [00:44:51] three, four years ago. So, my my [00:44:53] >> I told you I had it. Did Are you asking [00:44:55] me if I abused drugs while on the clock? [00:44:59] No. [00:45:00] >> Did you drink while on the clock? [00:45:02] >> No. Un here's the here. Okay, here's [00:45:04] what I will say. We did we did have [00:45:06] exceptions where we would have a drink [00:45:08] here and there. And I'm not going to [00:45:10] have, you know, argue semantics with you [00:45:12] because [00:45:12] >> you tuned in to my show. I saw you're [00:45:14] listening to the show, so you tuned in. [00:45:16] who brought me up, an absolute nobody [00:45:20] into your show because you have nothing [00:45:21] better [ __ ] going on than to call on [00:45:24] me. Okay? So, if you want to ask about [00:45:26] things you already know the answer to, [00:45:28] like, did we have a beer or two with uh [00:45:30] a subject while we were on a meeting, [00:45:32] you were well aware of [ __ ] like that. [00:45:34] Did I abuse alcohol and drugs while I [00:45:36] was in my professional capabilities of [00:45:38] Project Veraritoss? No, I did not. Did I [00:45:41] have a problem during that time that I [00:45:43] dealt with privately? Yes, I did. I was [00:45:47] clear about that. I'm two years into [00:45:49] sobriety. I'm very proud of that. I [00:45:51] don't give a [ __ ] what you think about [00:45:52] any of that. [00:45:53] >> What was your favorite drug question? [00:45:55] >> What was your favorite drug? [00:45:56] >> Next question. None of your goddamn [00:45:58] business, [ __ ] That's my favorite [00:45:59] drug. [00:46:00] >> Well, if I'm your boss, it is my [00:46:01] business that you're doing drugs while [00:46:03] you work for me. [00:46:03] >> Boss, you would you not my boss. [00:46:06] >> I was paying you. I spent a 100 days on [00:46:08] the road raising money so you could eat [00:46:09] your bread. [00:46:11] >> You're not my [00:46:12] >> I was your boss for three years. I was [00:46:14] the CEO of the company, [00:46:15] >> but you're not. And I don't have to [00:46:17] answer a [ __ ] thing you want to ask. [00:46:19] >> What was your favorite drug? I want to [00:46:20] know, was it cocaine? Was it ecstasy? [00:46:22] Was it Was it Was it the pink ecstasy? [00:46:25] The pink cocaine. [00:46:27] >> Why are you pushing on a trivial point [00:46:28] like this? Whenever part of our core [00:46:30] values of project veritas was to not go [00:46:33] into the personal lives of people of [00:46:35] things that aren't of public importance, [00:46:37] here you are breaking your own rule. So [00:46:39] you are doing what you said is unethical [00:46:43] as part of our core values and ethics. [00:46:45] Why are you interested in what my drug [00:46:48] of choice was? Why are you interested in [00:46:50] what my, you know, alcohol and who gives [00:46:52] a [ __ ] Nobody cares. Do you really [00:46:54] care? [00:46:54] >> Well, well, Joe Rogan, the number one [00:46:56] podcaster in America, asked what really [00:46:58] happened at Project Vera. So, a lot of [00:47:00] people are still interested. [00:47:01] >> Did Joe Rogan ask about my drug use? [00:47:03] >> Well, a lot of people want to know what [00:47:05] happened. So this is you're one of the [00:47:07] few people who [00:47:08] >> are testified. [00:47:09] >> What is what is my personal private life [00:47:12] here? You are saying about [00:47:13] >> you're you're calling it you you you [00:47:15] don't have to stay my friend. You can [00:47:17] leave. But we're having a conversation. [00:47:20] >> No, you fel felt it interesting. I would [00:47:23] have never I'm not writing comments [00:47:25] >> and I and I and I congratulate I [00:47:27] sincerely I did not know that you were [00:47:29] now sober and I congratulate you for for [00:47:31] your sobriety and I mean that sincerely. [00:47:34] You didn't know I was sober. I told you [00:47:36] that after you asked me. [00:47:37] >> I didn't know that. I didn't know that [00:47:39] you were sober now. [00:47:40] >> I'm sober and I'm very proud of it. And [00:47:42] I don't appreciate you trying to make a [00:47:44] spectacle out of something I struggled [00:47:46] with before and I've worked very hard to [00:47:47] get clean with. But you do you. And I'm [00:47:49] not surprised by that, James. [00:47:51] >> And now, how about how about when you [00:47:52] sent me a picture of me eating a [00:47:54] sandwich covered in semen? [00:47:57] >> What about it? [00:47:59] >> So, is that not sexual harassment? [00:48:01] That's the sort of thing that's [00:48:02] absolutely repulsive. [00:48:05] And you just laugh. [00:48:06] >> Repulsive equates. I did laugh. I'll [00:48:08] laugh again. Repulsive equation. [00:48:10] >> How is that funny to send someone a [00:48:12] picture of a sandwich cover? I'm eating [00:48:14] a picture of me eating a sandwich [00:48:16] covered in semen [00:48:18] >> because it annoyed you and that made me [00:48:21] happy. [00:48:21] >> So that's the sort of behavior. That's [00:48:23] why you never should work for me or any [00:48:27] individual. [00:48:28] >> Oh, I never would, James. You couldn't [00:48:29] offer me a a million dollars. And and [00:48:31] nobody nobody listening to this show [00:48:33] would want to hire someone like you. If [00:48:36] you send that [00:48:37] >> [ __ ] of a boss. [00:48:38] >> Well, I'm not the one who sent pictures [00:48:40] of seaman covered on sandwiches. That's [00:48:43] sexual harassment. [00:48:44] >> Well, I wanted to get under your skin. I [00:48:47] wanted to get under your skin just like [00:48:49] you got under the skin of everybody [00:48:50] else. And I wanted you to make you feel [00:48:52] shitty for a second. And I did. I did it [00:48:54] once and I didn't do it again. What What [00:48:56] about it? You want me to laugh again? [00:48:58] What? What? Really? Are you really [00:49:00] spending your time trying to fund raise [00:49:02] for legal things? Talking about me, come [00:49:04] sandwich. [00:49:05] >> This is going to go to a This is This is [00:49:08] going to go to a trial. Do you [00:49:11] understand? You may be called as a [00:49:13] witness. You may be called in front of a [00:49:15] jury and and you will be called in front [00:49:18] of a jury and I am being deposed [00:49:20] tomorrow. [00:49:22] Project Veritoss is deposing me [00:49:26] tomorrow and I am asking my audience if [00:49:29] they want me to walk away. [00:49:30] >> What do I What do I give a [ __ ] [00:49:32] >> Because you were one of the you were one [00:49:34] of the few people that that decided [00:49:37] >> Yeah. and I gave you my testimony. This [00:49:39] is what What do you really think you're [00:49:42] getting out of me right now? [00:49:43] >> I should I should have fired you. I [00:49:45] should have fired you when I had the [00:49:47] chance. That's the mistake that I made. [00:49:49] >> But guess what? You didn't. You did it. [00:49:51] And now you're you're ringing me up on a [00:49:53] [ __ ] X space because I was listening. [00:49:55] >> And and and and did you were you the one [00:49:57] that nailed me to a Did were you the one [00:50:00] that sent me a picture of me nailed to a [00:50:01] cross? Did you do that or was that [00:50:03] >> James? I sent you one meme and that was [00:50:05] it. And you can't get over it. [00:50:07] >> Oh, you didn't do the nail the the nail [00:50:09] to the cross meme? [00:50:11] >> No, I had nothing to do with that. I [00:50:13] hadn't seen that till you published it. [00:50:14] >> Okay. That wasn't you. You It was the [00:50:16] the semen on the sandwich in my mouth. [00:50:18] >> Yes. I sent you one meme and you can't [00:50:20] get over it. What more do you want from [00:50:23] like this is honestly I don't know how [00:50:25] anyone finds this compelling. This is [00:50:27] >> Were you a uh Do you know who the FBI [00:50:29] informant was at Project Veraritoss? [00:50:31] >> I have no idea about any of that [ __ ] [00:50:33] That's why this is so funny. I literally [00:50:35] was an entrylevel employee. This is [00:50:38] embarrassing. [00:50:39] >> You You were an entrylevel employee. [00:50:42] >> Yeah, I was a journalist. I was a UCJ. I [00:50:45] was the lowest of of all employees at [00:50:48] PV. What do you want? Like I said, I [00:50:52] think [00:50:52] >> what I what I want is the truth. The the [00:50:55] outcome that I want is the truth. And [00:50:58] that's the only thing that I want. It [00:50:59] sounds like it sounds like you what you [00:51:02] want to do is what you want to do is [00:51:04] harm me. And I that's not what I want to [00:51:06] do to you. I don't want to harm you. [00:51:08] >> I I annoyed you one time and other than [00:51:10] that, have I [00:51:11] >> can I tell you a quick can I tell you a [00:51:13] quick story? when I was in the [00:51:15] >> I'm not interested. I'm not interested. [00:51:16] >> Well, then I'm going to cut you off then [00:51:18] and we're gonna end the conversation. [00:51:20] >> James, you called me up. Hope you got [00:51:22] what you want. [00:51:23] >> All right. Thank you. [00:51:26] Well, you heard from Bobby Har there. [00:51:29] And uh interesting. I do I do [00:51:32] congratulate him sincerely on his [00:51:34] sobriety. That's news to me. He was not [00:51:38] sober a couple years ago. [00:51:41] Uh, it's interesting to see how these [00:51:43] people acted [00:51:45] and I think that there's integrity [00:51:47] issues there and that's a serious issue, [00:51:51] but the whining is is is very annoying. [00:51:53] Um, we're going to keep going to the [00:51:56] exhibits and keep going through the [00:51:59] information. Andrew, let's go to the [00:52:01] next one. [00:52:05] Uh, actually we're going to go to the [00:52:07] deposition footage of the current [00:52:08] chairman of Project Veraritoss and we're [00:52:11] going to come back to this email. You [00:52:13] might wonder [00:52:16] who or what is currently running Project [00:52:19] Veraritoss. We have the answer for you. [00:52:22] Let's go to the current deposition [00:52:23] footage [00:52:25] of a man named Ben Wetmore. [00:52:28] Clip one. [00:52:31] Excuse me. Before we go to that, do we [00:52:32] want to play the audit? Let's go to [00:52:33] let's go to Ben Witmore. Let's let's [00:52:34] let's do it in a different sequence. [00:52:37] Let's go to the first clip where he's [00:52:39] talking about this is the deposition [00:52:41] clip of Ben Witmore talking about then [00:52:43] chief financial officer Tom O'Hara. [00:52:48] >> Did he ever make statements to you uh [00:52:51] expressing? [00:52:52] >> It's got to be louder, guys. The people [00:52:53] on spaces can't hear it because we're [00:52:55] listening through the phone. [00:52:59] for [00:53:01] the desire for revenge against James [00:53:04] O'Keefe. [00:53:04] >> Oh yeah. [00:53:06] >> Let's play that again from the top. This [00:53:07] is the current chairman of Project [00:53:08] Barados, a man named Ben Wetmore talking [00:53:11] about the then chief financial officer. [00:53:14] Or is he talking about Matt Tiermont [00:53:16] here? Which one is he talking about? [00:53:20] >> Okay. It's about Matt. Okay, play it [00:53:21] again. Go ahead. [00:53:23] Did he ever make statements to you uh [00:53:26] expressing animosity [00:53:29] or [00:53:31] desire for revenge against James [00:53:33] O'Keefe? [00:53:34] >> Oh yeah, very vividly. [00:53:37] >> What did he say to you about that? [00:53:38] >> I remember Tier saying to me [00:53:42] in front of other people [00:53:45] um that he wanted that he like wanted to [00:53:47] cut James' head off or something like [00:53:49] that. He had these like very [00:53:52] uh graphic descriptions of like wanting [00:53:56] to hurt James. And [00:54:00] you know, at first when I heard it, I [00:54:03] didn't even know what to say. [00:54:06] And then I remember saying to him, I was [00:54:08] like, you know, hey buddy, like I I get [00:54:10] it that you're angry with James. [00:54:12] Everyone who's ever known James has been [00:54:14] angry at James at some point in their [00:54:16] life. Uh but like really you really like [00:54:20] that that's that's like you know it was [00:54:24] just so over the top, right? All right. [00:54:27] So that's the current chairman [00:54:29] corroborating the I want to carve your [00:54:31] heart out and chop your head off. [00:54:34] One of the comments here on the show is [00:54:36] that people seem to be eating each other [00:54:40] alive and these kind of petty human [00:54:42] emotions, this kind of envy and [00:54:43] resentment and bitterness. You heard it [00:54:46] in the voice of Bobby who is just just [00:54:49] bitter and and entitled. [00:54:52] Um, [00:54:54] you know, a lot of these people [00:54:57] can't work for other people, it seems. [00:55:00] And those kind of things that we fight [00:55:02] against are powers and principalities. [00:55:05] Now, let's go to the next clip of the [00:55:06] chairman of Ben uh the chairman of [00:55:08] Project Veritas, current chairman Ben [00:55:09] Wetmore, talking about the chief [00:55:11] financial officer who was there at the [00:55:13] time. [00:55:15] And while we're while we're queuing that [00:55:17] clip up, K from S [00:55:20] K from San Antonio, Sandra from North [00:55:22] Carolina, Paul from Green Cove Springs, [00:55:24] Charlotte from Tyler, Anna from Hayward, [00:55:27] you're all amazing, Amy from Garland, [00:55:29] Catherine from Oklahoma, Rachel from [00:55:30] Desert Hot Springs, Sunny from Macallen, [00:55:32] Valerie from France are all donating [00:55:35] live to our legal defense fund as we're [00:55:37] trying to raise $98,000 to pay for [00:55:40] discovery in this case. Do we have the [00:55:42] next clip or No, [00:55:45] we don't have it. [00:55:48] Okay. I I love I I love having these [00:55:52] people on that that on the show. [00:55:55] Christian Hardock, Bobby Har. Bobby, if [00:55:58] you want to come back on, people love [00:56:00] People love it when we talk. [00:56:03] I I just want to confront it with logic. [00:56:04] That's all I want to do. Let's go back [00:56:06] to the email then with Ben Wetmore and [00:56:09] the chief financial officer. This is [00:56:10] from May of 2023. The current chairman [00:56:12] of Project Veritas talking to the chief [00:56:14] financial officer. Now, what you're [00:56:16] looking at is they're going to prepare [00:56:17] talking points about me [00:56:22] and they're going to disseminate them to [00:56:25] the world and they're talking about [00:56:28] black cars, [00:56:30] a car service, 412 rides over a 24-month [00:56:34] period, and an average cost of $500. car [00:56:37] service company was called on all day [00:56:40] costing the company money. [00:56:43] Okay. Well, if you're an organization [00:56:46] has to raise 10, 15, $20 million, you're [00:56:48] going to have to have car service for [00:56:49] the executive so that can make phone [00:56:51] calls in the back of the car with a [00:56:52] driver who I'm familiar with. This is if [00:56:55] you look at this email, it says the [00:56:56] Miami event [00:56:59] which cost a lot of money with donations [00:57:01] for a net loss. Now, the words net loss [00:57:03] don't make a lot of sense because [00:57:06] nonprofits don't operate at anything but [00:57:08] a loss. They're nonprofits. They don't [00:57:11] make profit. These are programmatic [00:57:14] events, marketing events. [00:57:17] Uh a $12,000 helicopter ride. [00:57:22] You know, it's this hostile workplace. [00:57:24] It seems like the hostile workplace was [00:57:28] kind of kind of in my direction. I think [00:57:30] that the hostile workplace hostile [00:57:32] workplace was really against myself. [00:57:34] That's what I'm gathering from [00:57:36] everything that happened and and [00:57:38] gathering employee grievances in a [00:57:40] semi-public forum and then leaking them [00:57:43] to members of the public [00:57:45] and sending pictures of me with a with a [00:57:48] a sandwich with seaman covered on it is [00:57:51] another example of a hostile workplace. [00:57:55] But we're going to keep on taking your [00:57:57] calls. I couldn't take that call when [00:57:59] they called in. So maybe we can call [00:58:00] them back. We'd love to hear from you [00:58:02] guys. [00:58:04] And this is an email uh uh between the [00:58:08] chairman of project Veritoss and then [00:58:10] the chief financial officer talking [00:58:13] about the different uh marketing events [00:58:16] we had. [00:58:18] This is some crazy stuff here. False [00:58:21] allegations assembled. It's very rare [00:58:23] that you have a board of directors that [00:58:25] brings in employees to the boardroom. If [00:58:27] you're just tuning in, I'm talking about [00:58:29] all this even though it happened two and [00:58:30] a half years ago, but because tomorrow [00:58:32] I'm facing a federal deposition, a [00:58:35] federal deposition in New York, and I'm [00:58:38] going to be asked about these things. [00:58:42] Uh, let's go to the audit clip. Andrew, [00:58:45] do we have the audit clip? [00:58:50] >> Employees have a problem with authority. [00:58:53] That is true. Some people don't like [00:58:55] authority. [00:58:57] But you in order to do this sort of [00:58:58] work, you have to have a team. You have [00:59:01] to have people who share the right [00:59:02] virtues and the right values. [00:59:05] >> So pause pause. Let me cue this up. So [00:59:08] if you're if you're listening on X, you [00:59:10] cannot see this. If you're live [00:59:11] streaming on all the other places you [00:59:12] can, you're looking at a board meeting [00:59:16] uh another board me meeting. I believe [00:59:18] it was uh on a different day in March of [00:59:21] 2023. This has never before been seen of [00:59:25] the then board members talking about [00:59:27] spending $350,000 [00:59:31] to audit me. Let's listen to it. As you [00:59:35] listen to it, um please know that uh we [00:59:40] are being deposed tomorrow. We need to [00:59:42] rate $98,000 in legal defense. The link [00:59:45] to donate is in this chat. It's in the [00:59:47] YouTube description. It's on my Telegram [00:59:49] page if you follow. I have 207,000 [00:59:51] subscribers on Telegram and uh we're [00:59:54] looking for you to help us donate [00:59:55] because I don't want to give up. I I'm [00:59:58] going to keep repeating myself because [00:59:59] this is a radio show. Some people come [01:00:01] and some people go. Um the question [01:00:03] before us is do I walk away? Do I walk [01:00:08] away from this? Oh, you know, it's been [01:00:11] two and a half years. Move on. But I'm [01:00:14] an investigative reporter. And the thing [01:00:17] about being an investigative reporter is [01:00:19] that you can't walk away. [01:00:23] The only outcome that matters is to get [01:00:25] to the truth so that people may know. [01:00:28] And sometimes it's a complicated [01:00:30] conspiracy. We we understand there are [01:00:32] confidential informants. The FBI has [01:00:34] confidential informants trying to hurt [01:00:36] me. We're going to find out who those [01:00:37] people are. [01:00:39] And whoever they are are are very scared [01:00:42] because they know who I am. They know [01:00:45] what I'm about. [01:00:47] You ever see the movie Casino with Joe [01:00:49] Peshy? You know the scene where he says [01:00:50] he's stupid? Well, that's me. I'm [01:00:52] stupid. I don't I'm not governed by the [01:00:55] things that you're governed by. [01:00:58] I'm not about I don't want to make I'm [01:00:59] not trying to make money. [01:01:01] I'm not a guy who's trying to negotiate. [01:01:04] People try to negotiate with me. Okay, [01:01:07] that's the other thing people do. Hey [01:01:09] O'Keeffe, why don't we negotiate? I [01:01:12] don't I don't negotiate. [01:01:15] in my business. Do you guys want me to [01:01:18] negotiate [01:01:20] when it comes to the stories that I [01:01:24] tell? Is that what you want? [01:01:27] That's what people don't understand. [01:01:31] That's what people don't understand. And [01:01:33] that's why behind me it says, "My price [01:01:35] is my life." They don't understand what [01:01:36] the hell that means. [01:01:39] They don't understand. [01:01:46] They don't understand because they're [01:01:47] not in this. This this this is not a [01:01:49] business in in the conventional sense. [01:01:54] This isn't this is in the business of [01:01:55] telling the truth and defining reality [01:01:57] and getting the facts correct. [01:02:00] That's the business I'm in. [01:02:03] And that's why I don't settle lawsuits [01:02:05] and that's why lawyers make a lot of [01:02:06] money. But we're working on getting [01:02:08] lawyers who are not just in it for the [01:02:10] money and who care. [01:02:13] But that's what this is really about. [01:02:14] It's about good versus evil. [01:02:18] People say, "Let Grock be your lawyer." [01:02:20] We're not there yet. I'm working on [01:02:23] that. [01:02:26] Now, let's watch this board meeting and [01:02:28] we'll understand what I'm talking about. [01:02:30] Negotiating in my business, let me just [01:02:32] say one more thing. Negotiating in my [01:02:34] business, if you want to call it a [01:02:35] business, is selling my soul. [01:02:40] I can't negotiate in my business. [01:02:43] O'Keeffe, why don't you just Why don't [01:02:45] you just stop with all this? Just Just [01:02:47] let it go. Or I call people for comment. [01:02:50] You know who you are in this story. I [01:02:53] call you for comment. And then you The [01:02:55] truth does not bargain. The truth does [01:02:57] not bargain. I call them for comment. [01:02:59] Like, what outcome do you want, O'Keefe? [01:03:01] What am I trying to blackmail you? What [01:03:03] do you think this is? Is that how you [01:03:05] operate in Silicon Valley? Is that how [01:03:07] you operate in Washington DC? That is [01:03:09] not how I operate at OMG or Project [01:03:12] Veratas. Let's play the video tape from [01:03:14] March 2023 [01:03:17] of the board members talking to the [01:03:20] chief financial officer about auditing [01:03:21] me. Go [01:03:22] >> speak to that, but I know we talked to [01:03:23] them about trying to keep it somewhat [01:03:25] tight. [01:03:26] >> Yes. So their their guidance is that [01:03:30] they're trying to keep this entire thing [01:03:32] somewhere in the 250 250 to 350 range to [01:03:36] complete report to be done. Um obviously [01:03:39] as they're looking at money pause. So he [01:03:43] just said $300,000 [01:03:46] to audit me and the other board member [01:03:48] says that's a ridiculous amount of [01:03:49] money. [01:03:53] Uh, someone asked James, could you let [01:03:54] us know what is the vendetta against [01:03:56] you? Why the beef? That's a really great [01:03:58] question, uh, member of the audience. [01:04:00] And if you haven't watched it, the truth [01:04:02] inside Veraritoss part one gives you [01:04:04] some story. What's the end? What's the, [01:04:05] uh, the bottom line? Uh, petty human [01:04:08] original sin, jealousy, envy, [01:04:10] resentment, pride, ego, and power and [01:04:13] control. [01:04:14] That's it. Just power and control. [01:04:18] And some people are driven by [01:04:19] non-negotiable principles. I you all [01:04:22] know what I mean. Uh and some people are [01:04:25] not. That's not truth and integrity is [01:04:28] not what governs them. Power is. [01:04:32] We have someone on the phone. We're [01:04:34] collecting donations for our legal [01:04:36] defense fund so that you can get the [01:04:37] truth about what happened here. This is [01:04:41] Chantel. Is that your name? [01:04:44] >> Chantel [01:04:45] >> from Texas. [01:04:46] >> Yes. [01:04:47] >> Where are you calling from? [01:04:49] >> Tyler. Well, what's on your mind? [01:04:52] >> I just uh I support you. Um I'm really [01:04:57] glad for everything that you do and I [01:04:59] think it's terrible what you're going [01:05:01] through and I wish I could give you [01:05:03] more, but um I I really hope the outcome [01:05:07] is really good. Well, I we really [01:05:10] appreciate your donation, uh, Chantel, [01:05:13] and, um, do you think we should, uh, [01:05:16] walk away and let all this go or or keep [01:05:19] litigating it to trial? [01:05:22] >> I mean, that's that's really up to you. [01:05:26] Um, I know that if you walk away, [01:05:30] sometimes you feel like [01:05:32] um that you really should have pursued [01:05:35] it. So, I I think that's kind of a a [01:05:38] choice that you're going to have to [01:05:39] make. [01:05:41] Um, [01:05:43] being uh, someone who's had to deal with [01:05:46] courts, it's so easy to walk away, [01:05:50] but then you have those those doubts of, [01:05:53] you know, could could I have pursued [01:05:55] this? And and really I think that uh [01:06:02] you know it it it needs to be um [01:06:07] put in the light what happened and um [01:06:11] you know whatever [01:06:13] recourse you can get from it. [01:06:17] >> Well, I my deposition is tomorrow. Do [01:06:19] you have any advice for me? [01:06:22] I'm the last person to ask for advice, [01:06:24] but but I do have prayers for you. [01:06:27] >> Well, we appreciate your prayers. [01:06:31] >> You're You're so welcome. [01:06:32] >> And thank you for the support. I [01:06:34] appreciate the call. [01:06:35] >> You're welcome. Thank you. [01:06:37] >> Thank you. [01:06:38] >> Oh, bye. [01:06:40] >> Thank you for your donation, Michael [01:06:42] from New York. Everyone's donating. We [01:06:44] still got to raise $90,000. [01:06:47] Um, the lawsuit all started with this is [01:06:50] the project veritas suing their founder, [01:06:53] suing me with the intent to stop me from [01:06:55] continuing to do my work here. You can't [01:06:57] make any of this stuff up, everyone. I [01:06:59] mean, for those, let me give you some [01:07:01] background. They sued me and this was [01:07:04] this was a year and a half ago. [01:07:07] Try to stop me from operating, try to [01:07:09] shut OMG down. I know that sounds [01:07:11] absolutely nuts, but I'm just telling [01:07:13] you what's happening so you you [01:07:15] understand. [01:07:18] And um now it's about truth and it's [01:07:21] costing me a fortune [01:07:24] and I think the truth is worth it. Don't [01:07:26] you? What is the truth worth to you? [01:07:30] How many times did Trump get sued? How [01:07:32] much money did he spend on legal [01:07:33] defense? Now he's Donald Trump, granted, [01:07:35] but that was $400 million. Some ungodly [01:07:38] amount of money. 500 lawsuits. If you're [01:07:41] listening, find the link to donate [01:07:43] that's pinned on YouTube or X and donate [01:07:46] as much as you can tonight so we can hit [01:07:48] this goal and get to trial. [01:07:52] Now, I got a lot of information to give [01:07:55] you guys. I'm going to go in the weeds a [01:07:57] little bit, but I've got video tapes no [01:07:58] one's ever seen. I've got exhibits and [01:08:00] emails no one's ever read. Okay, Andrew, [01:08:03] back to March 2023. Tom O'Hara, the [01:08:06] chief financial officer, says, "We're [01:08:07] going to audit O'Keeffe and spend [01:08:09] $350,000 [01:08:10] of of your donor money to audit James [01:08:13] O'Keeffe." Hit it. [01:08:14] >> It It's uh it's an insurance policy is [01:08:17] the way I kind of look at it. Judge what [01:08:18] we do. [01:08:19] >> Every every donor I spoke to said, "We [01:08:21] don't do this." And they're done. So, [01:08:22] >> yeah. So, but at the end of the day, [01:08:25] yeah, what they're doing is they're [01:08:26] looking at the most [01:08:28] >> relevant information if they after we [01:08:30] gave them key search terms that pops to [01:08:32] the top of the algorithm search through [01:08:35] everything that's done. They start with [01:08:37] that and that's what this expense review [01:08:39] uh special audit committee is going to [01:08:41] be providing them guidance as they go [01:08:42] along. when they come up with questions, [01:08:44] we can say, you know, that that should [01:08:47] lead to here and be able to shorten the [01:08:49] time that they're going to be looking at [01:08:51] information in order to get to their [01:08:52] conclusion. So, that that's uh and I've [01:08:55] been talking to Beth on a daily basis. [01:08:58] She's hoping to have some rough numbers [01:09:00] by next Wednesday or Thursday as far as [01:09:03] the big items and then obviously she, [01:09:06] you know, that wouldn't be the complete [01:09:07] list, but some of the big items she's [01:09:08] hoping to have by next Wednesday or [01:09:10] Thursday. some rough idea of what the [01:09:12] magnitude of those numbers would be. [01:09:14] >> And my question, how do you determine [01:09:17] when you've used the term malfeasants? I [01:09:19] hear you. [01:09:20] >> Who determines what malfeasants is? [01:09:22] >> Pause. [01:09:23] >> As a board member asking, how do you [01:09:25] determine what malfeasants is? James has [01:09:27] taken a driver around as opposed to [01:09:30] taking an Uber X. And uh one of the [01:09:34] board members says that's an outrageous [01:09:35] amount of money to spend auditing James [01:09:37] O'Keefe. So, this is a new recording [01:09:39] that we've received in this litigation [01:09:41] shining a light on why they were [01:09:43] targeting me and what they were doing. [01:09:44] Keep playing. [01:09:46] >> So, this firm is they're going with the [01:09:49] IRS guidelines. So, in an example, [01:09:51] >> quote, "Have I become your enemy by [01:09:53] telling you the truth is a quote. [01:09:56] Have I become your enemy by telling you [01:09:58] the truth?" Oftentimes, we make enemies [01:10:00] by telling the truth. It's the price we [01:10:02] pay [01:10:03] for telling the truth. [01:10:07] So this stuff gets spiritual very [01:10:10] quickly and often times they want to [01:10:12] destroy you before you expose them. [01:10:17] Especially true in this business. [01:10:20] So someone said I had to sue an exartner [01:10:22] and in the end lawyers were the only [01:10:24] ones who benefited. They dragged it on [01:10:26] and for billing hours. But tomorrow to [01:10:28] the person who's saying this, I'm being [01:10:31] deposed. So I need a lawyer. [01:10:33] Unfortunately, [01:10:36] let's finish watching this clip [01:10:38] >> with a plane. If there's a commercially [01:10:41] viable alternative option [01:10:43] >> got I know what those are. Okay. [01:10:45] >> Yep. [01:10:45] >> So, wait a minute. I just want to make [01:10:46] sure we're all on the same page here. [01:10:50] I I think I just heard that it's going [01:10:53] to cost $2 to $300,000 for this audit. [01:10:56] Is that correct? [01:10:57] >> Correct. [01:11:03] Okay. So, there you have one of the [01:11:05] board members just I I mean incredulous. [01:11:09] They're spending this much money to try [01:11:10] to investigate me and audit me and [01:11:13] target and target me in this particular [01:11:15] way. Um, we're going to keep taking your [01:11:18] calls. Uh, people who donate to the [01:11:20] legal defense fund, we'll get you on the [01:11:21] phone. Uh, do we have any more [01:11:23] videotape, Andrew? Do we do we any more [01:11:24] deposition clips? [01:11:30] Okay, we have another one to play. Let's [01:11:32] let's pull that up. [01:11:39] >> And how did you obtain a flash drive? [01:11:42] >> Okay, so let's let's cue this up. So, [01:11:43] this is a board member. They actually [01:11:46] took private messages [01:11:49] between me and my then girlfriend, [01:11:53] took them off of my phone. You might [01:11:55] ask, how did they have access to that? [01:11:56] because the phone was logged into [01:11:59] Telegram and then they downloaded them [01:12:03] and then they leaked the messages to the [01:12:06] media. This is these are private [01:12:07] messages. These are intimate messages [01:12:10] that have nothing to do with the public [01:12:11] concern [01:12:13] uh that had nothing to do with the [01:12:15] company and in one of the depositions [01:12:18] they admit it. Listen to this. Um [01:12:21] >> you got to turn the volume way up. [01:12:25] Who in it gave it to you? [01:12:27] >> Um, uh, let's see. It would have been [01:12:30] either Josh Hughes, probably Josh Hughes [01:12:33] or, um, [01:12:36] uh, [01:12:39] I think it was Josh Hughes that did all [01:12:42] of that. [01:12:45] >> Josh Hughes provided you the flash [01:12:47] drive. [01:12:48] >> Yes. [01:12:49] >> Okay, pause. So that's the board member [01:12:51] admitting the chief financial officer [01:12:53] provided a flash drive featuring [01:12:57] my girlfriend's private intimate [01:12:59] messages. Zero party consent recordings. [01:13:02] It's disgusting. [01:13:04] And you and someone said it's invasion [01:13:06] of it's all about money and power. Yes, [01:13:07] it's kind of ironic that that happens, [01:13:09] but it happens. It's human nature. [01:13:11] Please leave your phone number when you [01:13:12] make a donation. Otherwise, we can't [01:13:15] call you and thank you. For those of you [01:13:17] who are donating to our legal defense [01:13:18] fund, do we have another clip? [01:13:20] Andrew, [01:13:21] >> let's pull the other clip up. [01:13:29] >> You nonetheless, [01:13:31] according to your testimony, you don't [01:13:32] know who controls it. You have reposted [01:13:34] James and Fancy posts on many occasions. [01:13:38] >> I I have retweeted without comment some [01:13:41] of those posts [01:13:42] >> and you've shared them with [01:13:44] >> what's that? [01:13:46] >> More than once. Yes. [01:13:48] >> Okay. He's retweeted and reposted these [01:13:50] private intimate messages more than [01:13:52] once. These are board members. Someone [01:13:54] saying, "James O'Keefe, why are you [01:13:55] talking about this? It's been two and a [01:13:57] half years. I'm under I'm facing a [01:13:59] federal deposition tomorrow. I don't [01:14:00] want to do this. I'm happy to do it, but [01:14:03] I don't, you know, I'm spending I'm not [01:14:06] able to be in the field because I'm I [01:14:07] have to be in federal court tomorrow." [01:14:10] Someone said, "Why are they deposing [01:14:11] you?" They're deposing me because they [01:14:14] sued me. [01:14:15] They sued me. Do you not remember that? [01:14:19] Um, they tried to shut OMG down. [01:14:24] Uh, OMG has investigated Black Rockck, [01:14:27] Disney, the FBI, Epstein. Every single [01:14:32] week we're doing an investigation. We're [01:14:34] putting out more content now than we did [01:14:36] at Project Veraritoss with an incredible [01:14:38] team, much smaller team, by the way. [01:14:42] And none of that would have been [01:14:43] happening if they were able to get the [01:14:46] injunction. But I had to fight the [01:14:47] injunction in federal court. They wanted [01:14:49] to shut me down. [01:14:52] Did they want to kill competition by [01:14:54] getting me to stop? I don't know. So, I [01:14:56] decided to counter sue them [01:15:00] because that's what you guys thought was [01:15:02] a good I thought that was a good idea. [01:15:05] Let's go through that. Let's go through [01:15:06] that, shall we? We have a few [01:15:07] screenshots. The counter claims one [01:15:10] through eight. Let's go through that. [01:15:12] No, it's not all sorted out. People say [01:15:14] it's all sorted out. No, it's never [01:15:16] sorted out. It's [01:15:19] This is my first counter claim. [01:15:23] This breach of my contract [01:15:28] and we're going to argue [01:15:30] that my contract was breached when they [01:15:32] fired me. They had a board meeting. They [01:15:36] brought in a bunch of people to to have [01:15:39] grievances. [01:15:41] What's the second counter claim? [01:15:45] Go to the next screenshot. Defamation [01:15:47] that they defamed me. They [01:15:51] systematically defamed me. [01:15:55] These board members came in and planted [01:15:57] grievances in a semi-public board [01:15:58] meeting and then distributed them and [01:16:00] leaked them in in a public format and [01:16:03] tried to claim that there was financial [01:16:05] malfeasants. [01:16:07] The next counter claim, these are all [01:16:09] things I I then sued them for. [01:16:11] Publication of private facts. They [01:16:13] accessed personal, private, non-public [01:16:15] messaging accounts. Now, some of you [01:16:16] might say, "Well, James O'Keefe, you you [01:16:18] publish private information all the [01:16:20] time." No, I never public publish [01:16:23] information inside the bedroom. I never [01:16:26] publish information that's of a sexual [01:16:28] communication between two adults that [01:16:30] are having sex. That's worse than [01:16:33] revenge porn, by the way. It's [01:16:36] non-consensual. In my recordings, at [01:16:38] least one party always consents. And we [01:16:40] don't get into what people talk to each [01:16:42] other when they're having sex. You don't [01:16:45] do that. [01:16:47] You don't do that. [01:16:50] That's not that's not ethical. That's [01:16:51] not even legal. It's certainly [01:16:54] torchious. So we sued for publication of [01:16:57] private facts when they got access to my [01:16:59] phone. Let's go to the fourth one. [01:17:05] Intentional infliction of emotionally [01:17:07] distress. [01:17:12] They humiliated me in front of my staff. [01:17:16] They they created a hostile work [01:17:17] environment by for and forced me to [01:17:19] resign. And I will get into tomorrow in [01:17:21] the deposition just how severe that was. [01:17:24] Some of this is really it's it's tough [01:17:25] for me to say it publicly because it's [01:17:28] so private. [01:17:30] Um [01:17:32] and it's and it was unconscionable. It [01:17:34] it was it was shocking and it was [01:17:35] outrageous [01:17:38] what they inflicted [01:17:40] publishing RC Maxwell's medical records. [01:17:44] So with OMG success and accomplishments, [01:17:46] we'll be recognizing all the [01:17:47] whistleblowers who bravely came forward [01:17:49] at Mara Lago later this year. Anybody [01:17:52] who donates $3,000 or more tonight, I [01:17:56] will personally invite you to the Mara [01:17:58] Lago as my guest when we have all of our [01:18:00] whistleblowers on. People like Aaron [01:18:02] Becky, people like Rick, people like the [01:18:05] people from Arizona, the Border Patrol [01:18:06] agents that came forward, Monica, and [01:18:08] many more sources, Epstein sources. When [01:18:10] they come to Mara Lago and you donate [01:18:12] $3,000, you'll be able to be there. [01:18:16] And I'll personally invite you as my [01:18:18] guest to Mara Lago. That's how important [01:18:20] this is to us. We have to keep fighting [01:18:23] and can't do it without your help. I [01:18:25] hate that I have to constantly ask for [01:18:27] money, but the alternative is to give up [01:18:30] and stop. I'm sorry. That's it. [01:18:36] This is not easy. It's a tough business [01:18:38] when you're in. The more successful you [01:18:40] are, the worse it is for you literally, [01:18:43] legally, and financially. So again, for [01:18:46] those of you who donate over $3,000 [01:18:48] tonight, I will personally invite you as [01:18:50] my guest to Mara Lago. You can be my [01:18:52] guest, including the Project Veritas [01:18:54] people. be my guest. If you support the [01:18:56] mission, I'll give you the opportunity [01:18:58] to have a ticket at our event. The [01:19:00] donation link is in the website. Please [01:19:02] leave your phone number so we can call [01:19:04] you back. Let's go back to the [01:19:06] intentional infliction of emotional [01:19:07] distress. They obtained messages on a [01:19:10] third-party server, Telegram or Gmail. [01:19:13] Federal law makes that illegal, by the [01:19:15] way. You can't go into someone's device [01:19:18] and download their messages if you [01:19:19] employ them, particularly if they're [01:19:21] private. And then you publish them. You [01:19:24] leak them. You disclose them so that you [01:19:27] can embarrass me with people. James [01:19:29] isn't a real Christian. He has sex with [01:19:32] a woman. That's that's [01:19:37] I mean, can you I mean, you can't make [01:19:39] this stuff up. [01:19:43] You can't make this stuff up. [01:19:46] So being the target, it makes it hard [01:19:48] for me to have a relationship and to [01:19:51] protect my loved ones when they target [01:19:53] my loved ones. That's what they did in [01:19:55] the Michael Flynn case, by the way. [01:19:56] That's someone I hope to get on the [01:19:57] show. They go after your family and they [01:20:01] play dirty. [01:20:03] And Laura Logan said to me, "Well, you [01:20:04] know, they just paper cut you a little [01:20:06] bit of the time until people get scared [01:20:08] to associate with you. These people need [01:20:10] to be brought to justice. Not vengeance, [01:20:13] not revenge. It's about justice. [01:20:16] Because if we don't do this, they'll [01:20:18] keep doing it over and over and over and [01:20:21] over again because they know they can [01:20:23] get away with it. Why? Because no one's [01:20:25] held accountable accountable for [01:20:26] anything. So, we're going to do our part [01:20:29] and hold them accountable. And you're [01:20:30] going to help me. We got to raise [01:20:32] $90,000 for these depositions. Let's go [01:20:34] to the fifth counter claim. [01:20:38] Excuse me, the sixth. Uh, go to the next [01:20:41] one. [01:20:46] Breach of duty and good faith. Next one. [01:20:51] Breach of fiduciary duty. So this is [01:20:53] probably the strongest one. We founded [01:20:56] project veraritoss [01:20:58] and the board was supposed to take [01:20:59] fiduciary duties to protect the [01:21:01] organization. The board violated their [01:21:03] duties by destroying the organization. [01:21:09] And that's what the deposition is going [01:21:11] to be talking about tomorrow. They're [01:21:12] going to ask me about this and I am [01:21:14] going to talk about all of it. [01:21:18] You can call in. We can take your call. [01:21:20] We can thank you. Karen from Illinois, [01:21:23] Daphne from Alabama, Daisy from Florida, [01:21:25] James from Maryland, Brian from Indiana, [01:21:27] Jay from Texas, Martin from Michigan, [01:21:30] Karen from California, Joel from [01:21:31] California. We couldn't do it without [01:21:34] you. Please leave your number when you [01:21:36] donate so I can call you and thank you. [01:21:38] The donation link is on the Telegram [01:21:40] page.

You're live. James. [01:23:31] James, father of the smartphone. Go [01:23:33] ahead. [01:23:38] Oh, we're still Oh, there we go. [01:23:44] >> Go ahead, James. You're live. [01:23:46] >> Hello. Uh, James O'Keefe. I remember you [01:23:48] ever since the Jordan Tristan Walker [01:23:51] episode where they uh he declared it [01:23:53] would probably be uh Wuhan uh gain of [01:23:56] function. I'm the guy who uh sent in [01:23:58] private messages uh the Chinese uh [01:24:00] foreign uh affairs memo that said uh how [01:24:03] they were bribing and attacking all of [01:24:05] our institutions from the media all the [01:24:07] way through politicians and the radio. [01:24:09] And in it, it said, uh, America's bad [01:24:12] because they censored your, uh, Jordan [01:24:14] Tristan Walker video, which is funny [01:24:16] because then China confirmed that it was [01:24:19] legit and that gain of function came, [01:24:21] uh, from China. Uh, and then the next [01:24:24] day, next couple days, New York Post was [01:24:26] saying it has to be Woo. Yet today, [01:24:28] people are still trying to say that uh, [01:24:30] it didn't come from Wuhan, didn't come [01:24:31] from Bill Gates or FYI. Uh, I'll pause [01:24:34] right now. [01:24:35] >> Well, thank you for the call. We're [01:24:36] talking about the project veritas [01:24:38] deposition. Um, uh, Northern Star, go [01:24:42] ahead. [01:24:44] >> Thank you, James. It's a honor to be [01:24:46] able to speak to you today. I've been [01:24:47] watching you for years, um, since [01:24:49] Project Veraritoss. Um, the audience has [01:24:52] gathered and and I would like to [01:24:54] represent the majority of that audience [01:24:56] if I may. Um, we, um, have seen you [01:24:59] expose corruption that otherwise was [01:25:02] unknown to us. that has also brought [01:25:05] attention to um a lot of the documents [01:25:08] and things some of us researchers were [01:25:10] digging up and you brought confirmation [01:25:13] with evidence from their own words and [01:25:16] that is what you did wrong but that is [01:25:18] what you did so so right. You stayed [01:25:21] with the ethical lines that we needed. [01:25:23] You made um a a good model for us by the [01:25:28] way and for what government sh how it [01:25:30] should be performing. you showed us how [01:25:32] it wasn't performing, but thank you for [01:25:34] everything you've done. We're with you. [01:25:36] And as far as your deposition, do you [01:25:38] have anything um in regards to that you [01:25:41] feel less prepared for? Are you ready to [01:25:43] rock and roll, James? Let us know. [01:25:45] >> Well, that's a good question. Um I hope [01:25:47] I wasn't on mute. I believe I was on [01:25:50] spaces for a long time. I apologize. [01:25:52] We're we're streaming everywhere and I [01:25:54] think I hit the wrong button. So, we [01:25:57] don't usually do these live shows [01:25:59] because I'm I'm busy reporting in the [01:26:01] field. So, I my apologies to those of [01:26:03] you who have been sitting here listening [01:26:04] to quiet space for a long time. But, um, [01:26:08] am I prepared for tomorrow? Do we have [01:26:10] someone on the phone? [01:26:11] >> Not yet. [01:26:11] >> Okay. I'm I'm I'm as prepared as I'll [01:26:14] ever be. I've lived this for years. But [01:26:17] um I think the question I would ask back [01:26:19] to you is do you think that I should [01:26:22] just walk away or do you think that I [01:26:27] should people say don't talk about [01:26:29] strategy? Um we're kind of we're already [01:26:32] past that Rubicon. Do you think I should [01:26:34] just walk away or do you think I should [01:26:35] litigate it to the very end? What are [01:26:37] your thoughts ma'am? [01:26:39] >> Thank you for asking. Actually, yeah, I [01:26:41] think you should definitely litigate it [01:26:43] to the very end. You are one of the few [01:26:45] examples that can on Sorry about that [01:26:50] car was passing and have the dog. You [01:26:52] are one of the few examples that have [01:26:54] the experience behind you that actually [01:26:57] needs to litigate this. You have [01:26:59] experience that's unique to most other [01:27:01] American citizen journalists that pick [01:27:04] up their camera. There's many of us out [01:27:05] here, but you have a unique experience [01:27:08] that actually has the evidence of their [01:27:10] wrongdoings and crimes in their own [01:27:12] words. You have to keep going. We need [01:27:14] you, James. [01:27:14] >> You know, it's interesting. [01:27:15] >> I hope that's a good answer. [01:27:16] >> Well, it is a very good answer and thank [01:27:18] you for that. I I I think it's very [01:27:19] interesting and for those of you [01:27:21] listening, we're trying to raise another [01:27:23] 70,000. We've already raised 20,000 so [01:27:26] far on this call just to help cover the [01:27:29] cost of depositions. [01:27:31] Um uh and how do you where's the [01:27:33] donation link? It's in the you can find [01:27:35] it in the in the space uh as well as in [01:27:38] the YouTube uh description. And I'm [01:27:41] going to recap for those who missed the [01:27:42] previous hour. Uh I want to make sure [01:27:46] that they heard the people are saying it [01:27:49] wasn't muted. Um by the way, was this [01:27:52] muted for the last hour? Do you guys [01:27:54] know? [01:27:55] >> I think so. Yeah. Oh boy. I lost you. [01:27:57] Yeah, but I went to the other I went to [01:27:59] the other uh I think most of us went to [01:28:01] the um the other link that you provided [01:28:03] us on your account. [01:28:04] >> Well, I just want to recap what the [01:28:06] listeners may have missed while I was on [01:28:07] mute. We showed two board meetings and [01:28:10] maybe we can play that audit once again. [01:28:12] We can ceue up some of those just the [01:28:13] video clips, the the Ben Wetmore [01:28:15] deposition. And Andrew, if we can if we [01:28:16] can get the new Wetmore deposition clip [01:28:18] about the chief financial officer as [01:28:21] well as I want to eat James' heart out [01:28:23] and eat it. I want to chew James' heart [01:28:25] and carve it out with a spoon. I think [01:28:28] we need to hear that. [01:28:31] Um, [01:28:33] it's disgusting. It's despicable. But I [01:28:35] think when you when you're in the [01:28:37] business of exposing [01:28:40] truth and that's a cliche, right? When [01:28:44] you are in the business and I'm going to [01:28:46] I'm going to repeat myself. When you are [01:28:48] in the business of [01:28:51] your outcome is to show reality. [01:28:55] Your outcome is to reveal the powers and [01:28:58] principalities and sins and darkness in [01:29:01] the hearts of others. when that is what [01:29:04] you do, how do you compromise? [01:29:08] H how do you how do you walk away? [01:29:11] You're you're how do you negotiate and [01:29:13] compromise in the truth? And when you [01:29:16] are in the business of exposing liars, [01:29:18] the liars want to destroy you. I don't [01:29:21] know how many what percentage of people [01:29:23] that we've busted actually apologized [01:29:27] sincerely. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [01:29:29] They want to kill me or destroy me [01:29:31] financially, psychologically, [01:29:32] spiritually. They want to, you know, [01:29:34] that's how it operates. That's how it [01:29:35] works. So, this is not a surprise to [01:29:38] anybody. [01:29:40] Perhaps what's surprising to people is [01:29:42] that we choose to do it. You have to [01:29:44] hold firm on principles. [01:29:49] And they want me to walk away because [01:29:51] they know they played dirty and they [01:29:53] can't win. So, they're going to throw [01:29:55] everything at me. the kitchen sink, the [01:29:57] black cars, stole sandwiches. He's a [01:30:01] mean boss. You heard Bobby Hart. He's an [01:30:03] [ __ ] [01:30:05] Okay. [01:30:07] Well, [01:30:08] >> yeah, I was definitely laughing a lot at [01:30:09] that one. [01:30:10] >> I mean, what do you think about that? [01:30:12] >> I had a lot of thoughts. I definitely [01:30:15] had a lot of thoughts. I first off, it [01:30:16] was comical. Um, I know we don't get to [01:30:18] see you behind the scenes every day, so [01:30:20] we won't ever know everything about you, [01:30:22] but I don't feel that you're putting a [01:30:24] persona on that's any different than you [01:30:26] probably are behind the scenes, which we [01:30:28] feel as an audience and the reason why [01:30:30] you amass an audience as large as you do [01:30:33] is we seek authenticity and you have [01:30:35] that. You're I think you are who you are [01:30:38] as creative and as you are with music [01:30:41] with musicals as well to see you do [01:30:44] actually offer us a little bit more than [01:30:46] just your job. You do show a lighter [01:30:48] side. You do go and have fun. You have [01:30:51] shared that with us by the way. And I [01:30:52] think [01:30:53] >> that's something that they hate. That's [01:30:54] something that they absolutely hated by [01:30:56] the way. They hate that there's any [01:30:59] goodness or light or creativity. They [01:31:01] want to destroy that. I I think that [01:31:04] dark I think that darkness um [01:31:08] cover darkness [01:31:11] hates light because it doesn't have what [01:31:15] light has. Um I I don't know I I don't [01:31:19] know whether you uh I think you guys [01:31:22] were muted. So let me recap. There's a [01:31:24] donation link for our legal defense [01:31:26] issues. And if you donate $3,000 [01:31:28] tonight, you'll be a guest of honor at [01:31:30] Mara Lago at our event, which will help [01:31:32] raise money for our foundation. So, if [01:31:35] you want to donate $3,000, anyone [01:31:37] listening, you can you can do that and [01:31:40] uh we will get you into Mara Lago. Um, [01:31:42] I'm going to be Are we Am I going to be [01:31:44] I think it's better that our team calls [01:31:46] the donors so I can keep talking to the [01:31:47] guests, but um we do have some people [01:31:50] that Why don't we call those numbers and [01:31:52] then I can grab the phone just so I can [01:31:54] keep talking to people on spaces. Hey, [01:31:56] Kevin, how you doing? [01:31:58] >> What up, man? How's it going? [01:32:00] >> How are you doing? [01:32:00] >> I'm doing good. Doing good. You know, I [01:32:02] look uh last speaker was talking about [01:32:04] we don't really get to see you on a [01:32:06] dayto day. Um I've seen you on a [01:32:07] day-to-day. I know you personally and um [01:32:10] you know look there are some there are [01:32:13] some real fake people in this game like [01:32:16] I the the fakest people you'll ever meet [01:32:18] in your life. James is one of the real [01:32:19] ones. Uh you know as a as an activist [01:32:22] from Long Island who you know I don't [01:32:25] know I don't I'm not owed anything by [01:32:27] anybody. James has always been one of [01:32:29] the kindest people to me um you know in [01:32:32] person uh at events uh in in whatever [01:32:36] fashion. So guys, look, I I don't do [01:32:38] this for anybody, you know. Uh if you [01:32:41] guys could throw in 5, 10, 20, 50 bucks, [01:32:43] whatever it is, this is how we [01:32:45] crowdsource to keep the the real ones in [01:32:49] power because in in in in operation, I [01:32:52] should say, because so many fake people [01:32:55] are able to just grift money from [01:32:57] whatever cause they're running on. If [01:32:59] you're a regular on X, you know exactly [01:33:01] what I'm talking about. Whether it is [01:33:03] the the grift of the moment uh that [01:33:07] people will run with in order to to [01:33:10] extrapolate as much money as they can [01:33:12] from whatever particular disaster or [01:33:16] news story of the day. You know, James [01:33:18] been doing this for, you know, over a [01:33:20] decade and hasn't stopped. And the only [01:33:23] way you maintain that sort of realness [01:33:26] in this industry is by being one of the [01:33:28] real ones. So guys, whatever you can [01:33:29] give, um, you know, it it's appreciated [01:33:33] and, uh, we got to keep the good ones [01:33:35] around because too many bad people will [01:33:39] push out the real ones with, uh, with [01:33:43] with crap with with with crap like this, [01:33:46] you know, long legal battles that are [01:33:47] expensive. Not. I mean, look, I'm on I'm [01:33:50] on a uh I'm on a list, we shall say, [01:33:54] from an outside organization that I [01:33:56] cannot get off of because I don't have [01:33:58] the money to do it. And they know that. [01:34:00] And because of that, you know, that's [01:34:03] impacted a lot of people's lives. And um [01:34:08] so we need to be able to keep James in [01:34:10] in in operation. And the way to do that [01:34:12] is by giving what you can, giving what [01:34:15] you can when you can. So, brother, I I I [01:34:18] wish you all the best and um you know, [01:34:20] just keep fighting, man. We all got your [01:34:22] back. [01:34:23] >> Thanks, Kevin. Do you know they're [01:34:24] deposing me tomorrow? [01:34:26] >> Oh, they [01:34:28] >> did you know that? Did you know that? [01:34:30] >> Yeah. My deposition is tomorrow. So, [01:34:34] we're raising money to help pay the [01:34:36] lawyers. [01:34:37] >> Yep. They uh what is it? More more of [01:34:40] the same crap. Sandwiches and black [01:34:42] cars. [01:34:42] >> No, I mean they're they're they're [01:34:44] deposing me. I don't know what they're [01:34:45] going to ask me about. I'm I I sued them [01:34:47] back. So, we're trying to get this [01:34:48] resolved, but I don't want to compromise [01:34:50] on my values. I don't I don't want to, [01:34:52] you know, lie or negotiate. So, they [01:34:56] want me to negotiate. [01:34:58] I don't know what there is to negotiate [01:35:01] >> exactly. [01:35:01] >> I I don't know what the negotiation is. [01:35:03] They want me to lie. I'm not going to [01:35:04] lie. So, I don't I don't know what [01:35:06] they're going to ask me, but there [01:35:07] there's a deposition tomorrow. So, we [01:35:09] need your help. There's a donation link [01:35:10] for people listening. Uh, but I do we do [01:35:13] have a clip and I and I and I just want [01:35:15] to play it and I don't know if you've [01:35:17] seen this, Kevin, but um uh I want to [01:35:21] play this clip of Do we have the clip, [01:35:23] Andrew? [01:35:25] We have the my producers in the other [01:35:26] room. Okay, let's pull up the Ben [01:35:29] Whitmore clip. This is the current [01:35:30] chairman of Project Veraritoss. I don't [01:35:32] know if you know who you know who this [01:35:33] is, but people ask me who is this who is [01:35:37] running Project Veraritoss. [01:35:40] And so your frustration [01:35:42] was with Tom O'Hara primarily. [01:35:44] >> Oh yeah. [ __ ] that guy. [01:35:49] >> Pause. [01:35:51] >> Um, so this is we're going to play the [01:35:52] rest of it, but that you're listening to [01:35:54] a deposition of the current chairman of [01:35:56] Project Veritas talking about the chief [01:35:58] financial officer who screwed me over [01:36:01] and this is what he had to say. Go [01:36:03] ahead, play it. [01:36:08] Honestly, double [ __ ] that guy. [01:36:13] >> Why do you say that? [01:36:15] >> Um, [01:36:18] uh, he [01:36:20] I I did not have good experiences with [01:36:22] him. Um, I I I don't know. I know James [01:36:26] had problems with him, too. And [01:36:29] honestly, I I this is my personal depo, [01:36:33] right? I mean, I can say these things. [01:36:35] Uh Tom Tom O'Hara Tom O'Hara was was not [01:36:39] was not a a straight shooter. Was not an [01:36:42] upstanding person. So I uh I had nothing [01:36:45] but every everything that that guy told [01:36:48] me I had reason to doubt later. [01:36:50] >> All right. And now can we play the first [01:36:52] Wetmore clip? Ben Witmore clip where [01:36:55] he's talking about [01:36:59] he's talking about chewing and carving [01:37:01] out his heart and eat cutting off. He [01:37:03] ever make statements to you uh [01:37:05] expressing animosity [01:37:08] or [01:37:10] desire for revenge against James [01:37:12] O'Keefe. [01:37:13] >> Oh yeah, very vividly. [01:37:16] >> What did he say to you about that? [01:37:17] >> I remember Tier saying to me [01:37:21] in front of other people [01:37:24] um that he wanted that he like wanted to [01:37:26] cut James' head off or something like [01:37:28] that. He had these like very [01:37:32] uh graphic descriptions of like wanting [01:37:35] to hurt James. [01:37:36] >> Okay. Cut. [01:37:37] >> Yeah. [01:37:37] >> Okay. Cut. So, so Kevin, I mean, you you [01:37:40] you know some of the folks and what is [01:37:42] your perspective on I mean the desire to [01:37:45] inflict violence and carve the heart out [01:37:47] and eat it and chew on it and cut the [01:37:49] head off. What is all that about? [01:37:51] >> If they're talking about who I think [01:37:52] they're talking about, that sounds like [01:37:54] him. uh you know, someone who uh someone [01:37:58] who never really heard the word no in [01:37:59] their life and thinks that they just run [01:38:01] things because of who they are. And uh [01:38:03] those are the worst kinds of people in [01:38:04] our world. Um I've had interactions with [01:38:07] with this person and they've gotten [01:38:10] worse each and every time. Um so it's [01:38:13] it's ju just just the arrogance in a [01:38:17] sentence like that. like like [01:38:20] he's just a weirdo. That's that like [01:38:22] that in in the most in the in the in the [01:38:25] plainest terms, in the most simple [01:38:26] definitions, he's just he's just weird.

So, you know what? like people [01:38:44] can sit people can claim whatever throne [01:38:46] they want, but uh you know the people [01:38:49] know it in the end and and I I I know [01:38:52] the courts will find that as well.

Do [01:40:08] you think I should litigate this all the [01:40:09] way to the end? This is the organization [01:40:11] that fired me. and sued me to try to [01:40:13] shut me down. I counter sued and now [01:40:15] they're deposing me. And should we go to [01:40:18] trial with it? Should we fight all the [01:40:20] way to expose all the board members? [01:40:22] >> Absolutely. [01:40:23] >> Well, I appreciate your financial help [01:40:26] to do that. [01:40:27] >> Yeah. [01:40:28] >> Any any comments you want to you want to [01:40:30] share tonight? [01:40:36] I [01:40:36] >> mean, I don't want to take too much your [01:40:37] time, but um [01:40:42] I mean, if I could say a prayer for you. [01:40:44] >> Sure. I hope you're open. [01:40:45] >> My team would appreciate that. We We all [01:40:47] need that. [01:40:48] >> Um, [01:40:50] I would uh I guess if I give advice [01:40:52] before I say a prayer. [01:40:53] >> Yeah. [01:40:54] >> Both in the same, you know, category. [01:40:57] >> You're Are you You're a man of faith, I [01:40:59] imagine. [01:40:59] >> Yes. [01:41:01] >> Figured you were. Someone who fights for [01:41:03] truth as hard as you do. [01:41:06] the man who's is the truth is definitely [01:41:09] um he's definitely got your back. Uh I [01:41:12] would just continue to fight for Jesus [01:41:14] Christ, you know, with him as your [01:41:17] inspiration in all things as you're [01:41:19] doing. Um [01:41:21] because the time the times that you know [01:41:23] that we're in are evil. We're in evil [01:41:26] days. And so, uh, you know, as the [01:41:28] Bible's telling us, and, um, [01:41:34] I guess if I could leave a prayer for [01:41:35] you, I'll [01:41:37] >> Please do. And the father [01:41:40] >> in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, I pray [01:41:42] Lord [01:41:44] that you continue to [01:41:47] bless James [01:41:50] with the armor [01:41:54] of [01:41:55] of the of the word, the armor of the [01:41:58] Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy [01:41:59] Spirit. And I pray Lord that [01:42:03] with all the sacrifices he's making [01:42:06] that you will continue to bless him with [01:42:08] victory. [01:42:10] And in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray [01:42:12] that you will win this deposition. No [01:42:14] matter what they ask you, it's all it's [01:42:17] all towards victory. And uh in Jesus [01:42:19] name we pray. Amen. [01:42:20] >> Amen. [01:42:22] And uh I've been deposed 12 times. So [01:42:26] I've luckily have some experience [01:42:27] fortunately. I'm grateful for that and I [01:42:30] will uh I appreciate you and I'll be [01:42:33] calling you later because I'd love to [01:42:34] talk to you more and come by our office [01:42:36] and and visit in West Palm Beach.

[01:43:01] >> Talk to you later. Byebye. [01:43:03] >> And we're have another person on the [01:43:04] phone. This is Craig from [01:43:08] is it Bowling Green. [01:43:11] >> Hey there, it's James O'Keeffe. How are [01:43:13] you? [01:43:14] >> Hey, what's going on? [01:43:15] >> Well, we have a dep I'm being deposed [01:43:17] tomorrow in federal court. I'm in court [01:43:19] every week. This time it's very [01:43:20] interesting. The company that I f [01:43:22] founded is suing me and they've brought [01:43:25] me to court tomorrow. [01:43:27] That's what I hear. [01:43:28] >> So, I appreciate your support [01:43:30] financially and otherwise and just [01:43:32] wanted to get to piece of what's on your [01:43:33] mind tonight. [01:43:35] >> Well, just man, don't don't stop [01:43:37] fighting. I mean, [01:43:40] you know, you don't you don't have [01:43:41] nothing to lose. You you know, walking [01:43:43] in tomorrow, all all you have to do is [01:43:46] tell the truth simply. [01:43:48] >> That's right. [01:43:49] >> You don't have anything. No pressure, no [01:43:51] nothing. You know, them jackasses [01:43:53] though, they they do, you know, you can [01:43:57] lay your head down at night and be [01:43:59] comfortable, and that's what that's all [01:44:00] about. [01:44:02] Yeah. It's I I I I read something online [01:44:05] that it's a seared conscience. People [01:44:08] have a seared conscience. They have they [01:44:11] have convinced themselves [01:44:13] that they are right even when they're [01:44:16] wrong. [01:44:18] And it's hard to explain. I I can't talk [01:44:22] about some of the things I've witnessed [01:44:23] last week cuz I'm under a court order [01:44:25] not to, but I was in a number of other [01:44:28] depositions. And what I witnessed was [01:44:33] the most evil thing in the sense that [01:44:37] you people think the devil wears horns [01:44:39] and wears Prada or whatever the cliche [01:44:42] is. It it is it was remarkable to see [01:44:46] how they had literally no conscience. [01:44:48] They could lie with impunity. They could [01:44:51] contradict each other but be fully [01:44:53] confident in how they were contradicting [01:44:56] and make it sound so persuasive and [01:44:58] articulate when they were lying. And [01:45:01] people who are good can't don't they're [01:45:03] not capable of doing that. So [01:45:06] >> absolutely [01:45:07] >> it's really an interesting battle. It's [01:45:09] certainly not the battle that I I [01:45:10] started doing uh when I got started in [01:45:13] this in this journalism [01:45:16] enterprise. And now it's become beyond [01:45:19] powers and principalities. I think we've [01:45:20] graduated to whatever beyond that is [01:45:22] now. It's [01:45:23] >> it's almost like you're fighting the [01:45:25] evil the sin itself. [01:45:28] >> So, [01:45:29] >> absolutely. [01:45:30] >> I very much appreciate the support. Yes, [01:45:32] we've raised $30,000 tonight. We're [01:45:35] trying to raise another another 70,000. [01:45:38] So, thank you for the support, my [01:45:39] friend. [01:45:40] >> You're absolutely welcome. [01:45:41] >> All right, have a good night. [01:45:42] >> God bless. [01:45:43] >> If you're just tuning in, I'm being [01:45:45] deposed tomorrow under oath in federal [01:45:47] court. You're looking at a picture. [01:45:48] Let's put the picture up, guys. For [01:45:50] those of you on all of our our [01:45:52] platforms, YouTube, Instagram, Rumble, [01:45:55] wherever you are, X video. Are we doing [01:45:57] X video? [01:45:59] >> Your screen is X. [01:46:00] >> Oh, that's good. Um, you are looking at [01:46:04] a picture of all the people in the room. [01:46:06] Can we please I'm sorry, Andrew. Can we [01:46:08] go back to that one video where they [01:46:12] talk about carving out my heart and [01:46:15] eating it? I just want to play that [01:46:16] again. [01:46:17] >> Like full sampling back before cherry [01:46:20] picking her testimony. [01:46:22] >> You said you wanted James's heart. You [01:46:25] said you wanted to change his heart and [01:46:27] carve out a spoon or something like [01:46:29] that. [01:46:30] >> All right. We we don't we don't need to [01:46:32] get into the specifics. [01:46:33] >> Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. We want to [01:46:34] get into the specifics. [01:46:36] So, what you just heard [01:46:39] is you heard the board members of the [01:46:42] company [01:46:44] testify that they overheard the guy [01:46:47] saying, "You wanted to carve my heart [01:46:49] out and eat it." It's It's pretty sick [01:46:52] stuff. And now, if we can go to the [01:46:54] photo, you're looking at all the photo. [01:46:55] They look they look very shell shocked, [01:46:58] the employees, because they they were [01:47:00] fed a false bill of goods. Let's go to [01:47:02] the the picture of all the people who [01:47:04] are working there still. [01:47:07] Okay, everyone's been fired after they [01:47:10] ran out of money, but there's still a [01:47:11] few people that work there. You look at [01:47:12] the upper left, those are the guys in [01:47:14] it. [01:47:16] Josh Hughes, [01:47:18] believe his name is Derek on the upper [01:47:21] left. And then on the upper right, you [01:47:23] see one one individual uh uh Jordan [01:47:26] Weden. She's still there. She's the one [01:47:28] who tweets for Project Veritas. People [01:47:30] say, "What is Project Veritas? What are [01:47:32] they doing?" I don't know. But I know [01:47:34] these are the individuals that are still [01:47:36] there. [01:47:38] Josh Hughes, IT director, he was [01:47:40] deposed. [01:47:42] I don't know what a guy who was in the [01:47:45] army [01:47:46] and who went to one of the best [01:47:49] engineering schools in the country and [01:47:52] who worked as a consultant for the [01:47:54] federal government is still doing what [01:47:56] he's doing there at Project Veritas. We [01:47:57] know there were confidential FBI [01:47:58] informants at Project Veritas. [01:48:01] Why am I talking about this two years [01:48:02] later, two and a half years later, [01:48:04] because 99% of you think that I should [01:48:06] not give up? That's what you guys think. [01:48:11] And I'm going to reiterate what I said [01:48:12] an hour ago when I was apparently on [01:48:14] mute on X, which is [01:48:18] it's very difficult to negotiate when [01:48:20] you're a truth teller. In fact, I think [01:48:22] it's impossible. [01:48:26] Your price has to be your life. What [01:48:28] does that mean? It means that the people [01:48:30] say, "Okay, [01:48:34] what do you want?" I get I get this a [01:48:36] lot when I call people for comment. What [01:48:38] is it that you want? Like like that like [01:48:40] like they're like they're they're [01:48:41] insinuating that I'm willing to accept [01:48:43] money to not run a story. I know that's [01:48:45] not what they're saying, but that's how [01:48:46] it comes across [01:48:48] because that's the soup they swim in, [01:48:51] but that's not the soup I swim in. [01:48:55] I'm about expos I'm about exposing We're [01:48:57] about exposing the darkness that exists [01:48:59] inside the hearts of man and also [01:49:02] revealing the goodness too. People like [01:49:04] Rick Dante the professor. Andrew, I [01:49:07] don't know if you can get that clip [01:49:08] queued up. A neuroscientist and an [01:49:10] analog astronaut who's now mowing lawns [01:49:13] for $30 an hour because he refused to [01:49:15] lie. Because he refused to live by lies. [01:49:18] We have a someone on the phone who [01:49:20] donated just now. if you know if you [01:49:21] want to donate to our legal defense fund [01:49:23] to help depose depose the rest of these [01:49:27] board members and take this to trial. [01:49:30] But I've got someone on the phone. [01:49:34] Is this is this Triple A? [01:49:39] >> Hello. [01:49:40] >> Hey, [01:49:41] >> this is James O'Keefe. [01:49:44] >> James O'Keefe. [01:49:45] >> Who am I speaking with? [01:49:46] >> You're speaking with Triple A. I'm the [01:49:48] guy that's been managing your uh [01:49:50] presence on True Social for OMG since [01:49:52] March of 2023. [01:49:54] >> Well, thank you. I when I saw it was [01:49:56] Triple A, I was worried that my car got [01:49:58] booted or something, [01:50:00] but uh [01:50:02] I just wanted to give you a word of [01:50:04] encouragement. You know, I've been [01:50:05] following you guys since uh Project [01:50:07] Veraritoss with Acorn uh all the way [01:50:10] back in the day. Uh every expose and [01:50:13] investigation since. And you need to [01:50:15] take this to the limit. um you know the [01:50:17] court venue be damned. Uh you have [01:50:19] righteousness on your side and uh there [01:50:22] are millions of us out there that [01:50:24] believe in you and your cause and the [01:50:25] OMG team and uh furthermore you need to [01:50:28] take it even further and uh reclaim the [01:50:31] PV brand. So I'm glad that you're making [01:50:32] moves on that. [01:50:34] >> Thank you. We're working on all fronts [01:50:36] and I my deposition is tomorrow. They're [01:50:38] they're bringing me into a deposition. [01:50:40] They're videotaping me. Any advice? [01:50:43] >> Yeah, I mean you you've got the truth [01:50:45] behind you. you've got righteousness on [01:50:47] your side. I've been through depositions [01:50:48] before. Uh this will be a walk in the [01:50:51] park for you. It's it's not a big deal. [01:50:54] Uh you'll be just fine. Just stand your [01:50:57] ground. Put the truth out there. Uh the [01:50:59] evidence that you know you've shown the [01:51:01] rest of us so far is is pretty damning. [01:51:03] So u you know, good luck with them [01:51:05] coming up with a rebuttal for that. [01:51:07] >> Thank you. Thank you, TripleA. Let's [01:51:09] talk offline. It's great to hear from [01:51:10] you and thank you for the support. Thank [01:51:12] you. [01:51:13] >> Fantastic. Thank you, James. Stay well. [01:51:15] Okay, we got a couple Project Veraritoss [01:51:18] employees on the line. Uh there's two [01:51:21] individuals here in the queue. Do you [01:51:23] want to hear from some of these folks? I [01:51:24] I think I do. [01:51:27] Uh one of them is Justin Leslie, who did [01:51:29] some incredible undercover work at [01:51:31] Project Veratas, but who also uh takes [01:51:36] issue with me. And then Christian [01:51:38] Hartzock who also did some incredible [01:51:40] undercover work exposing ABC News and [01:51:44] exposing Bob Kramer. He's on the line. [01:51:47] They're like regular call-ins. [01:51:49] And before we get to them, please know [01:51:52] that we need to raise another $55,000 [01:51:55] tonight. If you donate $3,000 and more, [01:51:57] we will get you a ticket to Mara Lago to [01:51:59] our annual event November 13th, our [01:52:02] Citizen Journalism Foundation Gala [01:52:05] Awards. And also know that we have a new [01:52:08] story each week, every week, undercover, [01:52:10] including forthcoming investigations [01:52:13] from within the FBI, the State [01:52:15] Department, the IRS, and more. We are [01:52:18] kicking it at OMG. Don't forget it. But [01:52:21] unfortunately, we have to raise money to [01:52:23] pay lawyers. [01:52:25] It's it's it's non- taxdeductible money [01:52:28] so that I can go to trial in this case. [01:52:31] But we have the Rick Dante. Andrew, [01:52:33] let's let's This is a very inspirational [01:52:35] man because we're talking about a lot of [01:52:37] evil. And I want to contrast the pride, [01:52:40] the greed, the the seared conscience, [01:52:44] the evil, the benality [01:52:47] with with the goodness. Let's play the [01:52:48] clip. Let's play the real from our [01:52:50] health insurance, our mortgage. You're a [01:52:53] neuroscientist who worked with NASA and [01:52:56] now you're mowing lawns. [01:52:57] >> Yeah. 130 bucks a month. I'm working on [01:52:59] my neighbor's lawn. It means that I [01:53:00] believe in the truth. Dr. Rick Adante, a [01:53:05] neuroscientist, a cognitive [01:53:07] neuroscientist. He has now been fired [01:53:09] recently from Florida Tech for coming [01:53:11] forward with video evidence showing what [01:53:14] appears to be an alleged fraud and cover [01:53:17] up. They told us of his intention to [01:53:21] defraud the citizens of Florida in the [01:53:23] United States of America for federal and [01:53:25] state grant money because he didn't want [01:53:28] to get caught continuing the prohibited [01:53:32] DEI stipulations that he was given by [01:53:34] the office of the governor. And as of a [01:53:37] few days ago, I was terminated. They [01:53:40] reached out and asked me to resign while [01:53:44] accepting some money to stay quiet. [01:53:47] Well, and this is a really inspirational [01:53:49] review. You can watch the full My Price [01:53:50] is My Life show where he actually talks [01:53:53] about giving feeding his children [01:53:56] spiritually is just as important as [01:53:58] feeding them materially. Something that [01:54:00] Sultan needs talks about. And I asked, [01:54:02] "Well, how are you going to feed your [01:54:03] children?" He said, "I'm not going to [01:54:04] feed them cotton candy." [01:54:06] And I think that was extremely profound [01:54:08] and and very beautiful and very [01:54:10] touching. So, well, we got Christian [01:54:13] Hartsock. Did he did Did he leave? [01:54:16] Heartsock's gone. [01:54:19] I think he got Well, Rick Rick's [01:54:20] actually here. [01:54:23] Um [01:54:24] I don't know if Let's get to Rick [01:54:25] Adante. Let's let's let's hear some [01:54:27] goodness. Rick, I I just invited you on [01:54:30] the air [01:54:32] and um I'd love to hear from you as we [01:54:36] as we uh but um uh we have Justin on the [01:54:41] on the line. Justin Leslie, I know what [01:54:43] we think about that. It should be [01:54:45] interesting. [01:54:47] Let's Let's hear from you, Justin. [01:54:53] Hey, Justin, what's going on? [01:54:58] >> Hey, James, how's it going? Hold on. I'm [01:55:00] uh at the gym. Give me [01:55:02] >> You're at the gym. It's good to hear [01:55:04] you're keeping in shape. [01:55:06] >> Yes, sir. Hold on one second. [01:55:09] Um, [01:55:11] >> good to hear from you, sir. How are you? [01:55:14] I see you're fundraising. [01:55:16] >> Yeah. Well, well, you know, we we've got [01:55:18] a deposition tomorrow. The Project [01:55:20] Veritas organization is deposing me [01:55:23] under oath [01:55:25] in federal court. [01:55:28] So, um, what do you think about that? [01:55:31] You were you were a employee of Project [01:55:33] >> Veritas. very much obviously an elephant [01:55:35] in the room as I think this is probably [01:55:38] our first time together on a spaces [01:55:40] where I've been speaking with you. Um so [01:55:44] again I don't have any animosity towards [01:55:48] you. Um I would like to put that on the [01:55:51] record. I ultimately would like to uh [01:55:55] just have a conversation about what [01:55:58] happened with [01:56:00] me as a Fiser whistleblower who is a [01:56:02] formulation analytical scientist who [01:56:05] worked on the CO 19 vaccine [01:56:08] and wanted to uh blow the whistle on [01:56:11] crimes against humanity from and [01:56:13] basically stop kids for the ages of 5 to [01:56:17] 11 from dying. um and where I obtained [01:56:20] information from a vice president named [01:56:23] Nick Warren saying he came to the FDA [01:56:26] >> on a emergency use authorization meeting [01:56:30] >> and just so everyone knows the context [01:56:32] you're listening to one of the project [01:56:34] veritas employees [01:56:36] >> you could call it um [01:56:38] >> situation and you hear me [01:56:40] >> you know be brave something I certainly [01:56:43] was being brave and doing something [01:56:45] >> Justin lid off of the co [01:56:49] charade [01:56:49] >> I don't think he can hear me played out [01:56:53] James [01:56:55] I think he's on mute [01:56:56] >> have been injured and die from these [01:56:58] vaccines [01:56:59] >> I think he's I think he's muted [01:57:00] >> ultimately sir I just I cannot [01:57:03] >> so I can't have a conversation with him [01:57:05] >> for someone to say that [01:57:09] >> you know it's okay what happened and [01:57:10] that [01:57:11] >> we'll listen to what he has to say and [01:57:12] then I'll try to [01:57:14] was not worth releasing and not worth [01:57:17] telling the public the public has a [01:57:19] right to know first amendment talked [01:57:21] about this many times in the past [01:57:23] regarding other issues and even when we [01:57:25] were working I don't keep meeting I'm [01:57:27] going to have to mute his mic [01:57:28] >> he said let's hey Justin [01:57:31] >> in two party consent states and just let [01:57:34] them deal with the [01:57:34] >> hey Justin when it came to exposing [01:57:38] fizer which [01:57:39] >> let him finish another [01:57:43] you know which is ultimately all [01:57:45] propaganda as viral ology is literally [01:57:48] rooted in pseudocientific [01:57:51] science. It's not actual science that [01:57:53] they do. I am here to just speak truth [01:57:57] with you and I know I'm going on a long [01:58:00] tangent and I'll let you respond. I'll [01:58:02] land the plane here, but you know that's [01:58:06] that's what's coming off the top of my [01:58:08] head. [01:58:08] >> All right, Justin, can you hear me? [01:58:11] Can you hear me? [01:58:12] >> Do you hear me? [01:58:13] >> Yes, I can hear you. But can you hear [01:58:14] me? [01:58:16] Nope. [01:58:17] >> Hello. [01:58:18] >> Can everyone else hear me? Raise your [01:58:20] hand if you can hear me. [01:58:21] >> Hello. Yeah, we got you. [01:58:23] >> Okay, Justin can't hear me. Well, [01:58:25] hopefully hopefully Justin will get his [01:58:26] microphone resolved, but he can't hear [01:58:28] me. [01:58:30] >> Um, [01:58:33] >> Justin, can you hear any of us? Cuz [01:58:35] James is trying to speak with you, but [01:58:36] apparently you can't hear him. Can you [01:58:38] hear me? [01:58:39] >> You hear me? [01:58:40] >> I hear you. Can you hear me? [01:58:45] Can you hear James? James has been [01:58:47] trying to talk to you. [01:58:48] >> Hello. [01:58:49] >> Okay. I don't think you can hear me [01:58:50] either. [01:58:51] >> We're gonna we're gonna have to to uh to [01:58:54] try to get him uh figured out. [01:58:56] >> But so Justin was a Project Veras [01:58:59] employee. You all heard that. Uh maybe [01:59:02] Justin can hear me. He'll hear this [01:59:03] afterwards. And and and Justin, the [01:59:05] issue there was he wanted me to publish [01:59:07] something that was obtained. [01:59:10] And the problem is I could I can't get [01:59:12] into the specifics because to do so [01:59:16] would be to put other people in danger [01:59:19] and there was a sense of uh resentment [01:59:24] from Justin that I did not publish [01:59:28] something. It was a similar an unrelated [01:59:30] resentment about publishing the Ashley [01:59:32] Biden diary, which I did not publish [01:59:34] because I could not confirm with 100% [01:59:37] certainty that it was Ashley Biden's. [01:59:38] And even if I could, I couldn't confirm [01:59:41] that the stuff in the diary happened. [01:59:42] And even if I could, there were some [01:59:45] reservations about publishing people's [01:59:47] personal private musings in their diary, [01:59:49] especially when they're addicted to [01:59:51] drugs. But in this other case involving [01:59:54] Justin, there was a lot of he was very [01:59:57] upset. In fact, Justin came with me to [01:59:59] OMG. And I'm all everything I'm telling [02:00:01] you, he's already reported, so I'm not [02:00:04] doxing anything. And then he came to me [02:00:07] to OMG and then he secretly recorded me [02:00:09] at OMG to try to catch me. And and by [02:00:13] the way, you know, people say, well, [02:00:14] that's what I do, so it's turnabout as [02:00:16] fair play. But Justin specifically came [02:00:19] to OMG from Project Veritas in order to [02:00:22] undercover investigate me. and he was [02:00:24] working for me and he was taking [02:00:25] pictures of my donor names on stationary [02:00:28] and then publishing it and I felt that [02:00:31] that was wrong. [02:00:33] But Justin was and I hope I'm not [02:00:35] mischaracterizing how he feels. Justin [02:00:38] Leslie was upset because I did not run a [02:00:41] story in 2021. I believe it was everyone [02:00:45] else at Project Veraritoss did not want [02:00:47] me to run that story. [02:00:50] And sometimes you can't get into the [02:00:51] reasons why. Use your imagination. [02:00:55] You have to I if if uh uh there were [02:01:00] things that were done that were not [02:01:02] appropriate, I can't get into what they [02:01:04] were because if I do that, I am putting [02:01:08] potentially third party people in harm's [02:01:10] way. And then they go, well, there's a [02:01:13] conspiracy. Okay, not everything is a [02:01:15] conspiracy. Sometimes there's an [02:01:16] explanation for why you don't do things. [02:01:18] And sometimes the leader can't disclose [02:01:21] why they're not doing something. So [02:01:23] that's the the short of it. Um [02:01:27] why don't we thank a few more people. [02:01:29] Samantha from New York, Francisco from [02:01:31] California, Matthew from New York, Dana [02:01:33] from Massachusetts, Valerie from [02:01:35] Minnesota, Mary from Florida, David from [02:01:37] Ohio. Thank you so much for your [02:01:38] donations. We are still trying to raise [02:01:41] $50,000 to help pay our legal funds. [02:01:44] It's exhausting, isn't it? We have to [02:01:46] get on the phone. My entire team is away [02:01:48] from their families, spending late night [02:01:49] at headquarters, raising dollars, dollar [02:01:53] at a time to pay lawyers because we're [02:01:56] in court. But that's the burden of [02:01:59] being. [02:02:01] That's the price. That's the price we [02:02:02] have to pay. [02:02:04] >> Go ahead, [02:02:06] >> James. Uh, this is Rick Adante. I'm [02:02:08] sorry it took me a moment to chime in. [02:02:10] >> Go ahead, Rick. [02:02:12] I just wanted to uh one echo as a as a [02:02:16] source who came to you as a [02:02:17] whistleblower seeking uh courage from a [02:02:21] news agency to share the truth that um [02:02:26] you answered the call for that courage [02:02:28] to [02:02:30] um [02:02:32] to make sure that the truth can come [02:02:34] out. And so as a whistleblower and as a [02:02:37] humble citizen, you're a hero to so [02:02:39] many. And I can say that echoing your [02:02:43] moment uh your your words a few moments [02:02:46] ago, you made sure that we verified [02:02:48] everything triple and then three more [02:02:50] times before we ever ran uh to press for [02:02:53] anything. So So that's something that is [02:02:55] real. I can speak to from experience uh [02:02:59] for the listeners that James is is [02:03:01] shooting it straight on that one. Uh [02:03:03] that's the nature of how the pursuit of [02:03:05] truth goes. You want to make sure that [02:03:07] what you think is true is actually true [02:03:10] because sometimes, you know, we can be [02:03:12] mistaken. And [02:03:13] >> yeah, not you can't just air everything [02:03:17] otherwise that's not I mean that's not [02:03:18] journalism. I don't I don't know what [02:03:20] that is. That's that's raw information. [02:03:22] It has to be verified and and and [02:03:26] as a leader you have to sometimes make [02:03:28] tough editorial decisions. But that does [02:03:31] not mean there is a conspiracy. you. [02:03:34] That's responsible reporting, [02:03:36] responsible media. Each deposition we've [02:03:39] conducted for this lawsuit has cost us [02:03:41] $14,000 [02:03:43] in legal fees and travel. The deposition [02:03:46] for me tomorrow will cost a bit more. [02:03:49] They have terabytes of data to go [02:03:50] through with discovery that'll cost a [02:03:52] fortune. A wildly expensive trial. I'm [02:03:54] constantly in court. I'm not saying that [02:03:56] I'm a victim. I'm saying that there's a [02:03:58] cost associated with this and it's a [02:04:01] price I'm willing to pay. I don't even [02:04:03] know what the cost is, [02:04:05] but I'm telling you, I need your help. [02:04:07] There's a donation link on YouTube. [02:04:10] There's a donation link on X. I I [02:04:13] appreciate your prayers very much, and I [02:04:15] and I when I go into court tomorrow [02:04:17] under oath for God knows how long. I [02:04:20] will tell the truth. I've got nothing to [02:04:22] hide [02:04:24] and I didn't do anything wrong. [02:04:25] >> Bohemian Grove, James, Bohemian Grove. [02:04:27] You hide your testimony about that. What [02:04:29] were you doing there? [02:04:31] >> Yeah. So, this is an example of what I'm [02:04:33] talking about. Is that Is that the [02:04:37] >> Is that the best you can do? [02:04:40] >> Why did you go to the Bohemian Grove? [02:04:42] >> Is that the best Is that Is that the [02:04:45] best you can do? Is that's my that's my [02:04:46] question to you. [02:04:47] >> Let's have a conversation about why you [02:04:49] silenced me as a FISA whistleblower. who [02:04:51] coerced me into coming to work for you [02:04:53] at Project Veraritoss and not release a [02:04:57] Fiser whistleblower story when your [02:04:59] motto is be brave, do something, and you [02:05:01] have evidence for crimes against [02:05:03] humanity on Fizer. [02:05:06] >> Um, why did everyone else at Project [02:05:09] Veraritoss and all of your colleagues [02:05:11] also agree that we shouldn't run that [02:05:13] story? Because James, Project Veraritoss [02:05:16] provided me with the equipment to do [02:05:19] what you were calling a crime. So [02:05:21] ultimately, we were all doing crime [02:05:25] together. So you say we don't do crime, [02:05:27] but you gave cameras to a source and [02:05:31] strung me along for three months on the [02:05:33] inside of a pharmaceutical giant while [02:05:36] they were injecting kids and babies with [02:05:39] an injection that is poisoning them. [02:05:44] So why did all of your colleagues [02:05:48] your your colleagues who care deeply [02:05:51] about the vaccine and it's and its [02:05:54] negative impact [02:05:56] think it wasn't a good idea to publish [02:05:58] that story. Justin [02:06:01] >> uh because of the excuse of the FBI raid [02:06:05] and because of this recording consent uh [02:06:08] jurisdiction law that you are talking [02:06:11] about. Do you remember the ethics [02:06:12] training we did in Wyoming in August of [02:06:15] 2022? [02:06:16] >> Being a whistleblower before you hired [02:06:18] me as a journalist, [02:06:20] >> did you record me at OMG? Did you take [02:06:23] pictures of donor stationary? Did you [02:06:25] Did you [02:06:26] >> I didn't take pictures of donor [02:06:27] stationary. I took [02:06:28] >> Did you take pictures? Did you Did you [02:06:30] Why did you Why did you lie to me? Why [02:06:33] Why did you Why did you lie to me? [02:06:35] >> I took a picture of your [02:06:37] >> Why did you Why did you lie to me? [02:06:39] >> And you told me you went to this How can [02:06:41] how can we how can we have [02:06:43] >> how can we have cohesion as a team if [02:06:46] you're lying to me? [02:06:48] >> How did I lie to you? [02:06:52] >> You said remember when I said you want [02:06:54] to go on stage at Turning Point and you [02:06:56] said yes. And that was just so that you [02:06:59] could like [02:06:59] >> I didn't even work for you. I resigned [02:07:01] because you went to Bohemian Grove and [02:07:03] then you tried to coersse me to come on [02:07:05] stage at Turning Point. Are you serious? [02:07:09] How did I coersse you by offering you [02:07:12] the opportunity to do that? [02:07:14] >> A documentary which I released. It's [02:07:16] called Project Whistleblower. Everyone [02:07:18] in here, go check it out at just [02:07:20] integrity.net. I stand in integrity. I'm [02:07:23] not here to manipulate or coersse [02:07:25] anybody. James is trained to do that. [02:07:29] Clearly, he's trying to manipulate this [02:07:31] conversation. James, [02:07:34] what do you mean? you called me uh after [02:07:37] I resigned working for you for five [02:07:40] months at O'Keefe Media Group and you [02:07:42] didn't hear from me and you just text me [02:07:44] out of the blue whether I want to go to [02:07:46] Turning Point USA. I saw it as an [02:07:48] opportunity to, you know, potentially go [02:07:52] investigate you again and talk to [02:07:54] Charlie Kirk and all your buddies in the [02:07:56] right wing. [02:07:57] >> Yeah. And and I and I and I said to you [02:07:59] on the phone when you called me, I said, [02:08:01] "Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you [02:08:03] disclose that?" That's what you were [02:08:06] intending to do. You misled me. And I [02:08:09] don't I don't appreci I never lied to [02:08:11] you, Justin. I never lied to you. In [02:08:14] fact, I told you at dinner years ago, I [02:08:17] told you, "Let's do this. Let's do this [02:08:19] the right way." And we did [02:08:21] >> and then all this resentment and this [02:08:23] toxicity [02:08:24] >> we participated [02:08:26] >> and this and this this sour grapes [02:08:28] stuff. Massive psychological operation [02:08:31] on the world stage is the Jordan Tristan [02:08:33] Walker story because you can't mutate a [02:08:35] virus that doesn't exist. CO 19 nor any [02:08:39] virus does not exist. No virus has ever [02:08:42] been scientifically isolated in a cell [02:08:45] culture experiment ever. Point blank CO [02:08:48] 19 massive psychological operation [02:08:51] against the world. and you and all your [02:08:53] right-wing buddies are using doing your [02:08:56] absolute best job to prevent the masses [02:08:59] from waking up against this specific [02:09:01] issue. [02:09:02] >> What what what is rightwing about me? [02:09:06] >> Uh you are actively talking about Donald [02:09:09] Trump and you're actively in this [02:09:11] right-wing MAGA movement of you know [02:09:15] even the other day you had something [02:09:17] about queuing on on your Telegram [02:09:18] channel. I mean the whole thing with Qin [02:09:21] on massive psychological operation as [02:09:23] well [02:09:25] and know it is deep [02:09:28] how how deep they go. [02:09:30] >> Okay. But what what is what is right [02:09:32] wing of right wing of me [02:09:34] >> about viology James you want to get to [02:09:36] know why virus [02:09:37] >> no this I can't I can't I'm giving you a [02:09:40] platform to promote your thing. I just I [02:09:42] built a company from a ground up and I [02:09:45] have to make editorial decisions and [02:09:47] this entitlement and this this sour [02:09:49] grapes [02:09:50] >> nasty just this you know we how I have [02:09:55] so much to say Justin but I don't [02:09:57] appreciate the fact that you lied to me [02:09:58] I don't need to have employees who [02:10:01] >> you how am I supposed to trust you going [02:10:04] to Bohemian Grove [02:10:07] >> Bohemian Grove as a guest [02:10:11] what were you doing there? [02:10:14] >> Well, I mean, we could talk about that, [02:10:16] but we can talk about a lot of the [02:10:17] places that I've been, but why don't you [02:10:19] trust me after all that we did together [02:10:22] as an [02:10:23] >> You didn't release a Fiser whistleblower [02:10:25] story in 2021 that could have protected [02:10:28] kids from 5 to 11 year olds. I had [02:10:31] evidence of scientific crimes of them [02:10:34] changing the formulation and not doing [02:10:38] any clinical testing on children. James, [02:10:42] any of it. They bait and switched the [02:10:44] whole thing. We had all of it. [02:10:46] >> Okay. Is it Is it Is it okay? [02:10:49] >> Is it I remember when we had the ethics [02:10:51] training in Wyoming and I asked you [02:10:53] >> So, you're going to say, [02:10:54] >> can I can I please finish a sentence? [02:10:56] >> Yeah. Go ahead. [02:10:57] >> Is it Isn't it When I asked you, is it [02:11:01] okay to break the law [02:11:04] to get a story? Do you remember me [02:11:06] asking that question? Is it is that okay [02:11:08] to do? And you kept and you kept your [02:11:12] hand raised and I said, "Is it okay to [02:11:14] break the law?" And how about if the if [02:11:17] you how about is it okay to break the [02:11:19] law to get a story and if it impacts [02:11:22] other people's going to jail? Is that [02:11:25] still okay? And then people took put [02:11:26] their hands down. And then I said, "Is [02:11:29] it okay to break the law to get a story? [02:11:32] And also, is it okay if other people's [02:11:36] fathers or mothers go to jail and they [02:11:38] have a baby at home?" Who's to say that [02:11:41] you're this allseeing omnisient being [02:11:44] that knows that people are gonna go to [02:11:46] jail because we go after [02:11:48] >> because I because I have been to jail [02:11:50] >> and because I have been sued and I have [02:11:53] to raise the money to to I did raise the [02:11:56] money to make sure that people were [02:11:57] indemnified and I don't think and I [02:12:00] don't think it's okay if you want to if [02:12:02] you want to listen my friend I I wish [02:12:05] you the best and if you want to run an [02:12:07] operation where where It's okay to break [02:12:10] the law to get a story. That's your [02:12:12] right as an American, but that's not how [02:12:14] I operate [02:12:16] >> and that's not how I'm going to operate. [02:12:18] >> So, I appreciate I appreciate [02:12:21] >> Are you familiar with common law? [02:12:22] >> People actually think this call is [02:12:24] staged because they think this is not [02:12:25] staged. This is a real person who [02:12:27] actually has a conversation. [02:12:29] >> It's a legitimate person. And and I and [02:12:31] I didn't like the fact that that that [02:12:34] people say this is whole stage staged [02:12:36] fundraiser. This is this is real. I'm [02:12:37] letting these people talk. I'm [02:12:39] confronting them on their logic, but I'm [02:12:42] not going to get in the into the [02:12:43] specific reasons why [02:12:46] >> because because if I because if I got [02:12:47] into the specific reasons why, I would [02:12:49] be possibly putting other people at risk [02:12:52] and I can't do that. So, it involves an [02:12:55] element of trust and I really appreciate [02:12:58] that. But I'm going to I'm going to keep [02:13:00] going here, Justin. We'll keep the [02:13:02] conversation going um another time. So [02:13:05] Rick um Rick Rick Adante is there. Rick. [02:13:08] >> Hey James. Yeah. Hey. Can you hear me? [02:13:11] >> Yeah, I got you. [02:13:12] >> Hey. Uh I just wanted to follow up too [02:13:15] and say you know as a as as a source as [02:13:19] a whistleblower who came to you um [02:13:23] something has been impressed upon me in [02:13:25] in reflection uh of that time too which [02:13:28] I I I think you know it's helpful for [02:13:32] for your followers to know which is that [02:13:35] you know a lot of people don't know what [02:13:36] it is that that you bear on your [02:13:39] shoulders on behalf of everyone who [02:13:42] comes to you with a story. Like the guy [02:13:44] who was just talking, he came to you [02:13:45] with a story. He's passionate. Everyone [02:13:47] comes to you to solve their problems and [02:13:49] to share something that we're not [02:13:51] willing at that time to share ourselves [02:13:54] publicly. And that comes with a huge [02:13:56] risk. It comes with a huge burden. It [02:13:58] comes with a huge price. And people talk [02:14:00] about whistleblowers paying a price, and [02:14:01] we do. But you're everyone's [02:14:03] whistleblower. You pay a price every [02:14:04] single time. And you bear every single [02:14:07] person's issues, their ch [02:14:13] Uh Rick, we lost you. I think your I [02:14:15] think Rick's phone may have died. Oh, [02:14:17] wow. Look, [02:14:18] >> good part. [02:14:19] >> I know. Uh but Rick Adante is an [02:14:22] incredible man and he's mowing lawns to [02:14:24] pay his family after after blowing the [02:14:26] whistle on Florida Tech. He's an [02:14:29] inspiration. Uh but if you're just [02:14:31] tuning in, we're having some [02:14:32] conversations with some former Project [02:14:34] Veraritoss employees. People actually [02:14:37] think this is staged. Of course they [02:14:39] would say that. [02:14:40] I know. And they know it's not staged [02:14:42] because they know it's real. Um, these [02:14:46] are people that I worked with who who [02:14:49] they had it so well. They had it so [02:14:51] good. We're trying to build something no [02:14:54] one's ever built before and do [02:14:55] investigative reporting. We're about to [02:14:57] have on Dan Stra, the chief operating [02:14:59] officer of Project Veratas, but we first [02:15:02] need to hit the fundraising goal. [02:15:04] $14,000 of deposition in legal trees and [02:15:07] legal fees and travel. Uh, the [02:15:10] deposition for me is tomorrow. I'm being [02:15:12] deposed under oath [02:15:14] in federal court in New York [02:15:18] and they want me to negotiate. [02:15:22] Can you negotiate the truth? Is that [02:15:24] something that's up for negotiation? [02:15:27] That's the question. What is the outcome [02:15:30] that we want? [02:15:32] The outcome that we want is the truth. [02:15:34] What does that mean? It means we want to [02:15:37] define reality. [02:15:39] We want to show the reality. They are [02:15:42] afraid and now they need to cover their [02:15:44] ass. Okay. But um that's not my problem. [02:15:49] My my obligation is to the American [02:15:52] people. [02:15:53] So if you are just tuning in, we want to [02:15:57] hit our fundraising goal. You can donate [02:15:58] at the link. We'll have you on. If we [02:16:00] have any donor callers calling in, we're [02:16:02] going to talk to you. And wow, it's uh [02:16:07] it's the former COO of Project [02:16:10] Veraritoss, Daniel Stra is on the line. [02:16:16] Dan [02:16:19] Dan Stra, are you there? Well, he's he's [02:16:21] on there. [02:16:23] Maybe he maybe he doesn't have the [02:16:24] courage to speak up. I'm not sure, but [02:16:27] >> No, I No, I do. [02:16:28] >> Oh, he's there. Dan Stra. Dan, tell [02:16:30] everyone who you are if they don't know [02:16:32] who you are. [02:16:33] Hello, James. Um, I'm Dan Stra. I was [02:16:37] the former executive director of Project [02:16:39] Veritas uh for James O'Keefe. [02:16:42] >> Wow. Dan Stra on the line. Uh, uh, Dan [02:16:47] Stra. Uh, I don't even know where to [02:16:49] begin, but I'm being deposed tomorrow. [02:16:53] My deposition is tomorrow. What do you [02:16:55] think about that? [02:16:56] >> I heard I heard I heard. Um, I'm [02:16:59] actually surprised you weren't deposed [02:17:00] earlier. I mean, I was deposed when was [02:17:03] that November of last year. I I I would [02:17:05] have thought it would happen sooner. [02:17:07] >> Why did it wait take so long? [02:17:09] >> That's a good question. I think the [02:17:11] audience has a lot of questions. I I [02:17:13] know I know. Uh we we tried getting your [02:17:15] comment and you attacked uh one of the [02:17:19] individuals as a bur was it a Bergen [02:17:21] Community College intern? Is that what [02:17:23] you we you called the guy who who called [02:17:25] you for comment? [02:17:27] >> Uh where was that? That was when we [02:17:30] tried reaching out to you and getting [02:17:32] comment [02:17:34] uh for the story we were doing, the [02:17:35] truth inside Veraritoss. [02:17:37] >> When you when you showed up at my door [02:17:39] when you just could have called me and I [02:17:41] would have answered your phone call cuz [02:17:42] we were business partners for a couple [02:17:45] years. [02:17:46] >> Business partners. [02:17:50] >> So you're listening to the chief [02:17:52] operating officer of Project Veritas. [02:17:56] Um Dan, [02:17:57] >> the former former former [02:17:59] >> the former chief operating officer. [02:18:01] >> It's been multiple years. [02:18:03] >> Yeah. So So why why are you so close [02:18:06] with Matt Tymont? [02:18:09] >> Why were you so close? You you you asked [02:18:11] him to be part of your wedding party. I [02:18:13] believe [02:18:14] >> you introduced me to him. [02:18:16] >> I was I was I was once blind, but now I [02:18:19] see. [02:18:21] So all the people that figured out who [02:18:24] he is no longer associate with him, but [02:18:26] you still associate with him. And that [02:18:27] doesn't make any sense cuz you're a [02:18:28] smart guy. [02:18:29] >> Who are all the people who used to [02:18:31] associate themselves with him, but don't [02:18:33] besides you? [02:18:35] >> Well, most of the donors realize who he [02:18:38] is now. [02:18:40] They've said that they were kind of [02:18:42] misled by him. A lot of the employees [02:18:44] are upset. I'm looking at a videotape of [02:18:46] them all demanding Matt resign from the [02:18:48] organization. Have you seen that video? [02:18:51] It was the day after you left. I [02:18:53] >> Yeah. Uh yeah, I did see that video. I [02:18:54] don't know if it was day after, but I [02:18:56] did see that video. Um I also think that [02:18:58] some of those people [02:19:01] have said things that they would sort of [02:19:04] retract some of the things they said [02:19:06] knowing what they know now. [02:19:09] >> Did you tell Wendy that um I didn't do [02:19:12] anything break the law financially? Did [02:19:14] you say that in person when you met with [02:19:16] a very large donor? [02:19:20] She testified that you said that and and [02:19:22] you tweeted you you affirmed that you [02:19:24] said that [02:19:26] >> again in my deposition and and in [02:19:28] private conversations with you and I um [02:19:31] since deposition um I've always said [02:19:33] that I always thought that everything [02:19:35] that was going on was correctable but [02:19:38] you walked away and refused to talk to [02:19:40] anybody and that's why we are where we [02:19:41] are. So, when they indefinitely [02:19:44] suspended me without pay on February [02:19:46] 10th, and this is all going to, you [02:19:48] know, headed towards trial. When they [02:19:51] indefinitely suspended me without pay, [02:19:54] that was on February 10th, [02:19:57] uh, you know, that's Have you ever seen [02:20:00] anything like that in your your [02:20:01] corporate career? A company indefinitely [02:20:04] suspends someone without pay and then [02:20:07] expect them to hang around. [02:20:10] Well, I'm I'm I I don't remember exact [02:20:13] timelines, exact dates in front of me [02:20:15] attempting. [02:20:16] >> I I remember it. I remember I'm looking [02:20:17] at it. [02:20:18] >> That that that that's fair, but I think [02:20:20] you're actually misrepresenting your [02:20:22] dates. Um so that's why I'm [02:20:25] >> Well, that's why we're going to trial. [02:20:26] That's why a federal judge and a jury is [02:20:29] going to [02:20:30] >> James, you're highly unlikely to go to [02:20:32] trial and everybody knows it except for [02:20:33] you. Um, but anybody who knows anything [02:20:36] about the law knows that you're highly [02:20:38] unlikely to go to trial with this. [02:20:40] That's number one. Um, number two, [02:20:43] >> why is that? Tell tell me tell do you [02:20:45] know what this case is about? [02:20:48] >> I I I know enough. I know enough. [02:20:50] >> Tell tell me [02:20:51] >> say that I think it's highly unlikely. [02:20:53] My my gut is that it's highly unlikely. [02:20:55] >> Do you understand what the Stored [02:20:56] Communication Act is about? [02:20:58] >> I do. Well, okay. I'm not going to [02:21:00] pretend to be an expert, James, but I'm [02:21:02] just letting you know my my gut is that [02:21:04] it's not [02:21:04] >> Well, you said it's you said it's [02:21:06] unlikely. What is that based upon? What [02:21:08] is that supposition based upon? my gut. [02:21:11] But your original question which I'm [02:21:13] trying to answer is um is around dates [02:21:18] and and you were not indefinitely [02:21:20] suspended without pay before you stopped [02:21:25] actually [02:21:26] interacting with the organization which [02:21:29] you were supposed to show up to a [02:21:30] meeting I think on February 10th, a [02:21:32] financial meeting to talk about [02:21:33] financials. That was the whole thing a [02:21:36] question. And when the chief financial [02:21:38] officer of the organization questioned [02:21:40] you on financials, you essentially fired [02:21:43] him. And that's what led to this board [02:21:46] meeting. And the first board meeting, [02:21:49] you and I talked about it. It was a it [02:21:51] was a [ __ ] show. A lot of people tried [02:21:53] to talk about how they felt about [02:21:55] things. Maybe it wasn't handled right in [02:21:57] hindsight, but I do believe that those [02:22:00] people had a right to say what they [02:22:01] said, and you have absolutely [02:22:03] mischaracterized the spirit of what they [02:22:06] were coming around. [02:22:07] >> And then the second meeting was supposed [02:22:08] to be around financials, which you just [02:22:10] decided to skip and pretend like [02:22:13] everyone put you on this gag order. [02:22:15] >> This is I just want I just want people [02:22:16] to know who who's you're listening to. [02:22:18] Dan Stra, the former chief operating [02:22:21] officer of Project Veraritoss. Um, [02:22:24] people are commenting that you sound [02:22:26] scared. Just to let you know, you sound [02:22:28] like you're scared. I'm not saying that [02:22:30] that's how I think. I'm just saying [02:22:31] that's what [02:22:32] >> I don't care. [02:22:32] >> I'm just saying that's what people are [02:22:34] saying. I'm don't kill the messenger. [02:22:36] >> Um, in the two weeks on February 6th, I [02:22:39] was suspended. I was told to take a, you [02:22:42] know, take time off and and sort of I [02:22:44] was told to go away. And um, this is [02:22:47] what this case is about. [02:22:48] >> You were not, you were not, you were not [02:22:49] told to go away. You were not. You were [02:22:51] asked just like any other organization. [02:22:53] And the NRA is a great example, the same [02:22:55] audit firm that the board, and by the [02:22:57] way, I'm not part of the board. And [02:22:58] every time James said on the board, [02:23:00] suddenly Dan Track's name shows up. But [02:23:02] I'm not I was never part of the board. I [02:23:04] was not on the board. I was elected or I [02:23:06] was appointed by the board. Um [02:23:10] um [02:23:12] so you know, we had the same one firm [02:23:15] that the NRA did um when Wayne Laierre [02:23:18] >> Yeah. How much money did you guys spend [02:23:20] on that audit? 300,000. I I I I I don't [02:23:23] know off the top of my head. I I saw I [02:23:24] saw in the recent video that you you had [02:23:26] sort of played um 250 300,000. I don't [02:23:29] think it cost that much, but it it was [02:23:32] certainly [02:23:33] >> So So I I built the company from my [02:23:35] dad's basement. Took me 13 years and [02:23:38] then and then 13 years [02:23:40] >> me to hire you. You inspired me to apply [02:23:42] for the job. [02:23:43] >> Y [02:23:43] >> Why didn't you manage these people? Why [02:23:46] didn't you help lead these people? [02:23:48] >> You were supposed to manage this. But [02:23:50] why why do you constantly look at [02:23:52] everybody else? You had tw You were the [02:23:54] the organization was around for what 14 [02:23:56] 15 years. You had about [02:23:58] >> How many times have you worn a hidden [02:24:01] camera in your life? [02:24:02] >> Really? I was twice. I was at 12. [02:24:05] >> And And then one of those was to record [02:24:06] me, right? [02:24:09] >> No. No. I never wore anything to record [02:24:11] you. No. No. I I recorded, a matter of [02:24:13] fact, you you literally posted in our in [02:24:16] our general chat that, hey, your [02:24:17] executive officer just wore just wore a [02:24:20] camera and went into a crowd. You you [02:24:23] literally did that. Like, so yes, I I [02:24:25] did it. That was not my job, but I did [02:24:28] it so that I could understand what it [02:24:30] felt like um to to our brave journalists [02:24:33] that worked for us. So, so, so I just [02:24:36] want to ask you just like a very [02:24:38] specific question because there was a [02:24:40] guy that you really respected. His name [02:24:42] was Eric. And I think you know you think [02:24:44] I think you know who I'm talking about. [02:24:46] And he and he said to me a after this [02:24:50] whole this February 6th, this was his [02:24:52] reaction. And I and I and I'm [02:24:54] paraphrasing. He said the board [02:24:56] solicited these complaints and smears [02:24:58] and fabrications from the staff, usually [02:25:00] hearsay, compiled them in digital form, [02:25:04] ran a semi-public board meeting. I will [02:25:06] testify under oath. I did not leak that. [02:25:08] I never talked to anybody. I never [02:25:09] published anything. You claimed in phone [02:25:12] calls that I I did. I did not. I'm just [02:25:14] letting you know. And and then and then [02:25:17] said, you know, you two weeks off and [02:25:20] then and I will and I and I will [02:25:22] characterize it as they put a muzzle on [02:25:23] me. You and I'll disagree on that, but [02:25:26] but I guess the question is, you know, [02:25:29] some perspective says, you know, that [02:25:31] that you guys should apologize for their [02:25:33] your bad behavior. Matt could have [02:25:35] resigned. The board members could have [02:25:37] resigned, but you know, it's pretty [02:25:40] pretty crazy behavior to put all these [02:25:43] grievances together in that meeting and [02:25:45] then and then have them aired and leaked [02:25:48] to the media. That's defamation. [02:25:50] Okay. and then and then sue me. Project [02:25:53] Veritas sues me and tries to shut OMG [02:25:56] down. [02:25:58] You can understand why the people are [02:26:00] upset. [02:26:02] You can understand that, you know, you [02:26:04] chose poorly on who you associate with [02:26:07] here. [02:26:10] And um now I have to litigate this all [02:26:14] the way to the end. [02:26:17] But [02:26:18] >> yeah, [02:26:19] >> you you know people [02:26:20] >> I I I I I I I doubt you're gonna have to [02:26:22] litigate anything to the end. But but [02:26:24] but [02:26:24] >> why why do you say why do you say that? [02:26:26] Why why do you say that? [02:26:28] >> Because because Project Veritas has [02:26:29] already tried to drop the case and you [02:26:31] refuse to do that from what I [02:26:32] understand. [02:26:32] >> Project Veritas is deposing me tomorrow. [02:26:35] >> But but but that's not but that's not [02:26:37] the the hill I'm trying to [02:26:38] >> How how many stories have you and Matt [02:26:40] Tiermont put out in the last year or [02:26:43] two? [02:26:44] Matt Tmont was your board member for [02:26:46] [ __ ] the entire time you were part of [02:26:48] Project Veritas. Almost Christian [02:26:50] Hartsock was with you from the [02:26:52] beginning. [02:26:53] >> How many stories have you put out in the [02:26:54] last two years? [02:26:55] >> At some point, don't you think that if [02:26:58] every single person you've associated [02:27:00] with is against you, you should look in [02:27:02] the mirror and figure out, oh, maybe I'm [02:27:03] doing something wrong. [02:27:04] >> Do you think that every single is your [02:27:07] is your Are you saying that every single [02:27:09] person is against me? [02:27:11] I'm saying the majority of people have [02:27:12] issues. [02:27:13] >> You said every single person a minute [02:27:15] ago. [02:27:16] >> James, you had over 15 years at Project [02:27:19] Vertas. 14 years. When I joined, I was [02:27:21] the 12th or 11th COO of the organization [02:27:25] in that many years. [02:27:28] That's not okay. [02:27:29] >> And I brought you in to manage it. [02:27:31] >> By the way, if you and if you were a [02:27:33] pain just a pain in the ass employer, [02:27:35] that would be one of [02:27:35] >> By the way, people think this is fake st [02:27:38] people think this is fake and staged. [02:27:40] This is everyone thinks this is fake, [02:27:42] >> but it's not staged. [02:27:43] >> Um, [02:27:45] >> so, uh, yes, this is about the counter [02:27:48] claim. Project Veritas sued me, tried to [02:27:50] shut me down, brought an an injunction [02:27:52] against me in federal court. I defeated [02:27:54] that. [02:27:54] >> I'm not talking I'm not talking about [02:27:55] the counter claim. I left before Project [02:27:57] Veritas sued you in the first place cuz [02:27:59] I I'll I'll be honest and say that I [02:28:02] thought that that I didn't leave because [02:28:03] of that. I left for a lot of reasons, [02:28:05] but um but but I never thought it was a [02:28:09] good use of donor funds to sue James [02:28:11] O'Keefe. Like it just didn't never [02:28:13] >> Well, Matt Tiermon disagrees with you. [02:28:15] >> I don't know if he disagrees with me. He [02:28:17] he he resigns as well. I don't know what [02:28:19] why he resigned or whatever. I'm not [02:28:21] going to speak on his behalf. Um um and [02:28:24] yes, we're friends, but we don't talk [02:28:25] about project. I mean, we don't talk [02:28:27] about this all the time. Like we talk [02:28:28] about lots of other things, too. [02:28:30] But but I mean all this stuff like I [02:28:32] asked Bobby, you know, did you are you a [02:28:34] drug addict at at the company? I mean, [02:28:36] what do we do in March? [02:28:37] >> Bobby is Bobb's Bobby's a great guy and [02:28:39] got some of the greatest stories we ever [02:28:41] had. Uh I'm super proud of him. He he [02:28:43] he's trying to do the right thing by [02:28:45] himself, uh by his family, by his [02:28:47] daughter, uh starting businesses. Um he [02:28:50] he he's taking control of his life and [02:28:53] uh and and honestly um I I can't say a [02:28:55] bad word about Bob. He did great by us [02:28:57] at you know that. Well, why aren't why [02:29:00] not manage the people? And I think this [02:29:03] is [02:29:03] >> I did. I did manage the people and you [02:29:05] you you also, you know, you you make it [02:29:07] like you, by the way, you hired all [02:29:09] these people, right? Like a COO comes [02:29:12] in, they're there for a year. Some of [02:29:14] the UCJs are around hanging around for a [02:29:16] year. [02:29:16] >> Yeah. And I and I and I admit that was a [02:29:18] mistake that I made. I did a poor job of [02:29:20] hiring people. [02:29:22] >> Honestly, James, I don't I don't think [02:29:24] it was a mistake. I think the mistake [02:29:26] you made was that you allowed your ego [02:29:28] to get so big that you just boss people [02:29:30] around. You go get tequilas and [02:29:33] sparklers and and can you can you that [02:29:36] that's a very serious allegation to [02:29:38] asking people to go get [02:29:39] >> serious allegation. [02:29:41] >> Got my ego got big to ask someone to go [02:29:44] get a tequila. [02:29:46] What is that about? [02:29:47] >> Exact you you know exactly what the [02:29:49] comment comes from. You know exactly [02:29:51] what that comes from. Would you like to [02:29:54] rehash the story in front of everybody? [02:29:55] >> Yeah, I I'm I'm happy to if you want to [02:29:57] you want to die on this hill, a company [02:30:00] is [02:30:00] >> I don't want to die on either. You [02:30:02] >> you want I just want people to [02:30:04] understand that when the chief financial [02:30:06] officer of a 501c3, a nonprofit [02:30:09] organization where James is not the [02:30:11] boss, the board is the boss and the [02:30:14] officers are liable, including James, [02:30:16] not just James. James makes it like he [02:30:19] dies on the hill. He's not the only guy [02:30:21] dying on the hill. There's a whole bunch [02:30:22] of boards and off board members and [02:30:24] officers who also die in the 501c3 hill. [02:30:27] If it was a for-profit LLC, James would [02:30:29] be the guy dying on the hill, but he's [02:30:31] not doing that. [02:30:32] >> But I feel like this comment about ego, [02:30:35] I I think that's very telling from you [02:30:37] because I I think that the, you know, [02:30:40] people accuse the adversary of what they [02:30:42] themselves are guilty of. And I see a [02:30:45] lot of kind of just petty resentment and [02:30:49] and and people listen to that board [02:30:51] meeting and 95% [02:30:54] of the stakeholders, the donors, the [02:30:56] audience, the sandwiches, the black [02:30:58] cars. It was extremely petty and a lot [02:31:01] of people including donors, the people [02:31:04] who paid for the [02:31:06] >> you penned your own apology letter [02:31:08] knowing that you saying that you made [02:31:09] mistakes. You admitted to me privately [02:31:12] that you made mistakes and then all of a [02:31:14] sudden the board tries to hold you [02:31:15] accountable and now it's not about you. [02:31:17] It's everybody. [02:31:17] >> But they didn't give me a chance to [02:31:19] respond in the meeting. You sat there [02:31:21] and they didn't give me a chance to [02:31:23] respond. [02:31:24] >> It was a very difficult meeting. It was [02:31:26] >> and it's and it's and it's and it's just [02:31:28] not how you run a board. It's not how [02:31:31] you run a company. You don't [02:31:32] >> Which is ironic which is ironic coming [02:31:34] from you because you were the chairman [02:31:35] of the board. [02:31:37] >> I was I tried to talk and they shut me [02:31:39] down. You heard it. You were witnessing [02:31:41] it. [02:31:41] >> Board, you were the chairman of the [02:31:42] board for 12 years since you started it. [02:31:45] You made your closest personal allies [02:31:47] and friends the board members. [02:31:50] >> Yeah. And I tried to respond and they [02:31:52] wouldn't let [02:31:53] >> come to you and say, "James, you're [02:31:54] doing something wrong and you don't [02:31:56] listen." And you just shut up and take [02:31:58] your ball and go home and then you have [02:32:00] to tell the whole world that everyone [02:32:02] else is wrong and you're not. [02:32:04] >> Dude, look in the mirror. It's actually [02:32:06] you. [02:32:08] You're listening to the former chief [02:32:10] operating officer of Project Veraritoss [02:32:12] telling me I need to look in a mirror. [02:32:14] Dan, I built the company from nothing. [02:32:16] From nothing. I spent a 100 days on the [02:32:19] road. I spent a 100 days on the road. [02:32:21] You said I was quote the hardest working [02:32:23] man you've ever met. [02:32:25] >> Okay. [02:32:25] >> Got any of it. and and and to march [02:32:29] employees into that boardroom and to [02:32:31] weaponize their grievances and then to [02:32:33] air them and to air them [02:32:37] um and to publish them. It's def it's [02:32:40] defamation. The stuff that Matt has [02:32:43] defamation my face next to Epstein in [02:32:47] your trailer. That's defamation. [02:32:49] >> No, it isn't. [02:32:50] >> Is that No, it isn't. No, it isn't. I [02:32:52] have multiple lawyers begging me to do a [02:32:55] suit, but [02:32:55] >> please do. Please do. Discovery will be [02:32:58] interesting. Please do. I'm I'm happy to [02:33:00] do it. [02:33:01] >> Everything already, James, and you're [02:33:02] using it on Twitter all the time. I gave [02:33:04] you everything. [02:33:05] >> No, we got a lot more, Dan. [02:33:07] >> Okay, great. [02:33:08] >> We got a lot more. [02:33:10] We got a lot more. And I've also [02:33:12] discovered there were Project Veritur [02:33:14] FBI confidential informants at Project [02:33:16] Veraritoss. I found that out. So, [02:33:19] there's a lot more to the story, Dan. [02:33:22] Exactly. Now, now you're intrigued. Now [02:33:24] you want to know, don't you? Right? Oh, [02:33:26] yeah. [02:33:28] So, yeah. Yeah. I know you have. So, so [02:33:30] there were confidential FBI informants [02:33:31] at Project Veraritoss. Don't you think [02:33:33] that's interesting? [02:33:35] >> Yeah, sure. [02:33:36] >> Yeah, it is. Sure is. [02:33:38] You know, it's a crime to lie to the [02:33:39] FBI, Dan. Not saying you did that. I'm [02:33:42] not saying you did that. I'm saying that [02:33:44] some of the people some of the people [02:33:46] that were there shouldn't have been [02:33:48] there. [02:33:50] should not have been there. I should [02:33:52] have I should have I should have fired I [02:33:55] should have fired him when I had the [02:33:56] chance. [02:33:57] >> But that but that's not [02:34:00] >> what's the point. What's the problem? [02:34:02] >> The the the point is when the board [02:34:04] tries to hold the guy who's leading it [02:34:06] accountable and he runs away. That's the [02:34:09] point. That's the thing we should be [02:34:10] talking about. Not that everyone else, [02:34:12] the hundred people that or 65 people [02:34:15] that worked for us the day this happened [02:34:17] or the hundreds of people who worked for [02:34:19] us be before that and worked for you [02:34:21] before I was even there. You know, those [02:34:24] people all left for a reason. There's a [02:34:26] whole bunch of people follow you to OMG [02:34:28] and left you for a reason. There's a [02:34:30] whole bunch of people with hanger [02:34:31] honors. [02:34:32] >> Yes. Yes. Justin Leslie Justin Leslie [02:34:34] who followed me to OMG recorded me at [02:34:36] OMG. And you've testified under oath and [02:34:39] you've said and other people have said [02:34:40] that they didn't want Justin's story [02:34:42] published either. So you guys use [02:34:44] halftruths and menacious innuendo. [02:34:46] >> There's no half there's no halftruth. [02:34:48] >> 100% halftruth. [02:34:50] >> You you decided No, you're giving half [02:34:52] truth right now. You decided not to [02:34:54] publish. [02:34:54] >> You sound You sound like a crybaby when [02:34:57] you talk. Have you been drinking [02:34:58] tonight? Have you been drinking? [02:35:00] >> H how [02:35:02] >> have you been drinking? Answer the [02:35:03] question. Have you been drinking? Yes or [02:35:05] no? This has nothing to do with [02:35:06] anything, J. [02:35:07] >> Have you been drinking bourbon or [02:35:08] whiskey tonight? Dan, answer the [02:35:09] question. [02:35:11] >> Of course, you have to ask that [02:35:12] question. Um, [02:35:14] >> but you didn't answer it. [02:35:16] What's with all the drugs and alcohol [02:35:18] with these people, man? It's [02:35:19] unbelievable. By the way, you can have a [02:35:21] drink once in a while, but I just [02:35:23] >> Listen, Dan. [02:35:25] >> Oh my god, you're unbelievable. Um, [02:35:27] >> Dan, employees were marched into [02:35:30] >> Justin started around the same time I [02:35:32] did a project for. Do you think it's [02:35:34] okay to break the law to tell a story? [02:35:35] Do you think it's okay to break the law [02:35:37] to get a story? [02:35:38] >> No. No. And I remember that that exact [02:35:40] comment you made in the Wyoming training [02:35:42] cuz I was there as well. Um um and and J [02:35:47] Justin started at Project Veritas as a [02:35:49] journalist shortly after because I [02:35:52] believe that I was you know there when [02:35:55] he got hired as a journalist as an [02:35:58] insider that happened before my time. [02:36:01] But I so I I did not just to be clear I [02:36:04] did I never opined on publishing his [02:36:07] story or not publishing his story. My [02:36:08] understanding was he had done something [02:36:11] that would implicate him and others um [02:36:14] and the story wasn't necessarily worth [02:36:17] putting people at risk. That's what I [02:36:19] understand. But I never [02:36:20] >> Yeah. So So that was one of the [02:36:22] individuals that followed me. And and by [02:36:24] the way, do you know anybody that [02:36:25] currently works for me at OMG? Do you [02:36:27] know anybody currently employed with me? [02:36:29] No, I I don't I don't think so. [02:36:31] >> We have about We have 20 people. Do you [02:36:32] know any of them? Do you know Stephen, [02:36:34] my COO? Do you know him? [02:36:35] >> I don't I don't I don't I don't know. I [02:36:37] don't know. Do [02:36:37] >> you know my editor? Is my producer? [02:36:39] >> No, I I I have no reason to know them, [02:36:41] James. [02:36:42] >> Okay. [02:36:45] Um marching employees into a boardroom [02:36:48] and airing grievances. And by the way, [02:36:50] the publishing of my girlfriend's [02:36:52] private intimate messages that were [02:36:53] obtained off of my device and a third [02:36:55] party server. The Sto Communications Act [02:36:57] prohibits that by law. You can't go into [02:37:00] someone's Gmail and download messages [02:37:02] between a husband and wife or a [02:37:03] girlfriend and boyfriend and publish [02:37:04] zero party consent revenge porn [02:37:07] recordings. You can't do that. [02:37:10] And and I have evidence that the board [02:37:12] members and the IT department worked [02:37:14] together to do that. That's not moral. [02:37:17] It's not it's torchious. It's not it's [02:37:19] not right. And I will get my justice. [02:37:21] Not revenge, but justice. Because it's [02:37:24] wrong for a board of a company to leak [02:37:29] intimate sexual messages, sexual like [02:37:32] revenge porn. Dan Stra, you work for [02:37:34] Goldman Sachs. [02:37:36] Why? Why would a board Why would a board [02:37:38] do that? [02:37:40] Do you have anything to say about that? [02:37:44] >> I other than other than the way you [02:37:47] categorize it, I agree that it's not [02:37:48] appropriate. I I don't [02:37:50] >> appropriate. [02:37:51] >> I I you you know that I had you had no [02:37:54] you know that I have first of all again [02:37:56] wasn't on the board. [02:37:57] >> No no no no but messages like I I didn't [02:38:00] leak them. I I don't know about you know [02:38:02] that that so I have nothing to do with [02:38:04] that. So my opinion is [02:38:06] >> well you here's why you do have [02:38:07] something. No you didn't do that. I know [02:38:09] you I I'm not saying you did that and I [02:38:12] know that you don't like that, but if [02:38:15] you're running if you're managing an [02:38:18] organization, you have to have [02:38:20] discernment. Dan Stra, you have to have [02:38:23] discernment. Hold on. I'm going to mute [02:38:25] your mic. I'm going to finish my point. [02:38:26] You have to have discern [02:38:28] >> my name. [02:38:29] >> Well, I wasn't running the company. [02:38:31] >> You You were the You You were [02:38:33] responsible for discerning. [02:38:35] >> No, I wasn't. No, I wasn't. Not so [02:38:38] messages came out. [02:38:39] >> I'm getting clo I'm getting too clo I'm [02:38:41] getting too close to the truth now [02:38:44] because [02:38:44] >> you're full of [ __ ] You're so full of [02:38:46] [ __ ] [02:38:46] >> I'm full of [ __ ] to anything. You're not [02:38:49] getting close to anything. James, [02:38:50] >> I'm getting close to the truth. My [02:38:52] deposition is tomorrow. [02:38:53] >> I I literally resigned before those [02:38:56] messages even came out. [02:38:58] >> You're responsible for discerning people [02:39:01] and you were supposed to protect [02:39:03] >> them all. You hired them all. No, I [02:39:05] tried to fire Tom O'Hare. I tried to [02:39:07] fire Barry Hinckley and they were [02:39:09] rehired. [02:39:10] >> Told you after After I told you you [02:39:11] shouldn't spend money on a private [02:39:13] helicopter. [02:39:15] >> No, that wasn't the reason. I I fired [02:39:16] him because he was incompetent. [02:39:17] >> Oh, no. [02:39:18] >> I fired him because he was incompetent [02:39:20] >> on a random weekend. [02:39:22] >> I fired him because he was trying to [02:39:23] remove me as CEO of the organization, [02:39:25] which would destroy the organization and [02:39:27] he had a fiduciary obligation to protect [02:39:29] the organization. [02:39:31] And as the and as the manager of the [02:39:33] people, Dan, you should discern in [02:39:35] people and and you failed to discern. [02:39:38] >> And that's what that was the problem. [02:39:40] >> Because people sent you nasty text [02:39:43] messages after [02:39:46] you hired them and after I resigned and [02:39:48] they sent you text messages after that. [02:39:50] It's my fault. That's what you're [02:39:52] saying. [02:39:54] >> Or he exploited it. [02:39:57] I'm I'm trying to understand [02:40:00] these people leaked RC's wife's [02:40:03] published RC's Maxwell's wife's medical [02:40:06] stuff on Instagram. [02:40:08] >> Why are you Why are you correlating that [02:40:10] to me? [02:40:11] >> I'm asking you about [02:40:14] >> No, you weren't asking me. You're [02:40:15] correlating it with me. Which, by the [02:40:17] way, is also an example of defamation. [02:40:20] >> I'm not I'm I'm asking you a question. [02:40:23] I'm I'm making a statement. I'm asking [02:40:25] you a question. the behavior of these [02:40:27] people to march people. You could have [02:40:29] shut that board meeting down and you [02:40:30] could have said, "We're not going to do [02:40:31] it this way. We're not going to do it [02:40:33] this way. We're going to have HR handle [02:40:35] this." You testified under oath that HR [02:40:37] should handle this privately, not in a [02:40:39] public setting and then leaking it to [02:40:42] the New York Times. And I will testify [02:40:43] under oath that I did not leak it. So, [02:40:46] someone under your employee and you're [02:40:47] the manager of the people. I'm [02:40:49] responsible for everything that happens [02:40:51] under my employee. And I'm giving you as [02:40:53] chief operating officer like I do now. [02:40:55] I'm giving you the authority and the [02:40:57] responsibility to handle that so that I [02:40:59] don't have to because that's what a CEO [02:41:02] does. He delegates which is what you [02:41:03] wanted me to do. And then you have a [02:41:05] bunch of children [02:41:08] behaving this way and then you say it's [02:41:10] my responsibility. [02:41:12] You were the wrong guy for the job. You [02:41:14] talk about my ego. It's my name on the [02:41:17] door. [02:41:19] I I I I spent three years on probation. [02:41:21] I was raided by the feds. I was sued [02:41:23] dozens of times. [02:41:26] And I and I and I raised the money so [02:41:27] everyone could get indemnified. And your [02:41:30] one responsibility was to manage the [02:41:32] people. That was your responsibility [02:41:35] because you want me to delegate. I gave [02:41:36] you that responsibility. And then within [02:41:38] months of you coming on, the place [02:41:40] collapses because you didn't have my [02:41:41] back. [02:41:43] You were supposed to have my back. And I [02:41:45] was defamed. These allegations about [02:41:47] about about [02:41:49] tequila. I got one tequila. You want Is [02:41:53] is that really what it is? A black cars [02:41:55] and sandwiches. [02:41:58] Is that what this is about? [02:42:01] I will litigate this all the way to the [02:42:03] end. You made a comment. You said it [02:42:06] won't go that far. Tell me your [02:42:07] understanding of the Stored [02:42:08] Communications Act since you seem to be [02:42:11] an expert in the Stored Communications [02:42:12] Act and federal law. [02:42:15] Are you familiar with the case law [02:42:16] Danstra about publishing people's [02:42:18] private messages? Because never in my [02:42:20] life, never in my life have I sexually [02:42:23] harassed anybody that worked for me. But [02:42:25] the people that you associate with have [02:42:28] sexual harassed people. And I have the [02:42:30] evidence. So you tell me. You tell me [02:42:35] that you're an expert in the case law [02:42:36] and tell me why you think this case [02:42:38] won't go to trial. Dan Stra, go ahead. [02:42:44] James, I already told you I'm not going [02:42:46] going to be be an expert on this because [02:42:49] I'm not. Um, so my my gut again is that [02:42:52] it will not go to trial. I just don't [02:42:54] think it will. Um, I think courts are [02:42:56] too busy for silliness like this and [02:42:58] it's quite frankly silly. Um Um because [02:43:02] you're taking people to court about [02:43:03] sending you messages about, you know, [02:43:06] sement filled sandwiches. No, I'm taking [02:43:08] people to court because they leaked [02:43:10] personal intimate messages from a zero [02:43:13] party consent bedroom conversation, [02:43:16] which is a violation of the stored [02:43:17] communications act. It's something [02:43:19] that's against our ethics policy. It's [02:43:21] torchious. It's unlawful. [02:43:23] >> What what and I don't know where they [02:43:25] came from, but what if it was done on a [02:43:27] work phone? [02:43:28] >> According to the Stored Communications [02:43:30] Act, you can't access your and you log [02:43:32] into Gmail. According to a case from the [02:43:35] Southern District of New York, [02:43:36] >> I said I said I said a work. [02:43:38] >> Yes. Exactly. Exactly. [02:43:40] >> Not a cheat. There's not a cheat. [02:43:42] >> Pure power boot camp versus Warrior [02:43:44] Fitness Boot Camp litigated in 2008. You [02:43:47] cannot access I can't go onto your work [02:43:51] phone logged into your Gmail and take [02:43:54] screenshots of you talking to your wife. [02:43:56] You can't I can't do that. I can't I [02:43:59] can't leak to media organizations sexual [02:44:02] chatter between you and your wife that I [02:44:04] obtained on Telegram, which is a third [02:44:06] party server on your work phone. That's [02:44:08] what the law says. But you know all [02:44:09] about that, Dan Stra, don't you? [02:44:11] >> No, I I I don't. You're asking me to [02:44:13] plan on something. I've already said [02:44:14] >> Well, you've already said that it's not [02:44:16] going to go to trial, so I I thought you [02:44:17] knew what you were talking about. [02:44:18] >> That's right. That was my gut. I said [02:44:20] it's my gut. [02:44:21] >> Were you wrong? [02:44:22] >> It's not going to trial. [02:44:23] >> Were you wrong? [02:44:24] >> What am I wrong? Well, we'll we'll see, [02:44:26] won't we? Okay, I guess we will. [02:44:30] >> Do you have any regrets, Dan? [02:44:33] >> I told you about my regret. I regret [02:44:36] after the board meeting not saying [02:44:37] something to you that we should have [02:44:39] grabbed a cup of coffee and talked it [02:44:40] out so they wouldn't have gone to this. [02:44:42] I didn't want you to go to silence and [02:44:44] that's what you did. Um, and quite [02:44:46] frankly, that's the reason that we are [02:44:47] where we are. [02:44:52] People tried to hold you accountable. [02:44:53] They tried to speak to you in an honest [02:44:55] way. You made fun of them. Um, you've [02:44:58] made them into memes about sandwiches [02:44:59] and nonsense and black. [02:45:01] >> No, they sent me pictures of seaman [02:45:02] covered with a sandwich in my mouth. [02:45:04] >> I Yeah, I know. Look, you you you hired [02:45:06] them all. Every one of those people who [02:45:08] sent you those messages, you hired them. [02:45:10] >> It has nothing to do with Dan Dra. You [02:45:11] hired them. You did it. So, you know, [02:45:14] congratulations. The people who you who [02:45:16] adored you and and and came to you and [02:45:19] and and and came and worked for you [02:45:21] rebelled against you. Congratulations. [02:45:23] You you you said it yourself. Project [02:45:25] Feras will destroy itself from within. [02:45:27] And you did it. Congrats. [02:45:29] >> Do you re do you think the goal of Matt [02:45:31] was to control me? [02:45:33] >> No, I don't. I do not. I do not. [02:45:39] >> Okay. I just thought I'd ask you that [02:45:43] >> because this is [02:45:44] >> I I think the board including Matt just [02:45:47] wanted you to show some um financial [02:45:51] restraint and responsibility around [02:45:53] certain things. Um not think that you [02:45:56] knew what the organization could afford [02:45:58] based upon your very limited economic [02:46:01] and fiscal sense. Um a and I think that [02:46:05] that's really what what it was all [02:46:07] about. Um, and you just refused to [02:46:10] listen to it and you ran away from [02:46:12] everybody. [02:46:13] >> They wouldn't give me a chance to [02:46:14] respond to all these false allegations. [02:46:16] >> That's [ __ ] You chose not to come [02:46:18] to the meetings. [02:46:19] >> Okay. Andrew. And Andrew, could you play [02:46:21] the tape of George Skakel saying he gave [02:46:23] me a chance? George Skakel lied under [02:46:24] oath. He said I He gave me a chance to [02:46:27] respond. He said, "No, you just need to [02:46:29] listen." [02:46:30] >> So, that was that happened during that. [02:46:33] You can take that out. [02:46:34] >> Play the clip. Play the clip. No, no, [02:46:36] it's not out of context. Play the clip. [02:46:38] It's not out of context. [02:46:40] >> No. [02:46:42] When Barry Hinckley is off the phone, [02:46:43] please if I do I have a chance to [02:46:46] respond to this. I would like to I would [02:46:49] like to read my [02:46:50] >> Let's bring him in. [02:46:52] >> Let's bring him in. [02:46:54] >> He made no effort to defend himself. [02:46:57] >> May I have a chance to mute? I'm sorry. [02:47:01] >> I'd like to respond to the statements by [02:47:05] Dan. I think it's only appropriate to [02:47:07] have the chief executive officer respond [02:47:09] with the facts. I would like I have a [02:47:11] right to respond [02:47:12] >> or object to anything [02:47:15] uh anybody was saying. [02:47:17] >> After the 6 hours, I was asked what I [02:47:20] had to say for myself. [02:47:24] I was given about 10 seconds to respond. [02:47:26] He he didn't seem to have any empathy [02:47:29] and he didn't seem to have any impulse [02:47:31] to defend himself at all. What do you [02:47:33] expect us to do given these allegations? [02:47:37] [Music] [02:47:39] >> Well, will I have a chance to responds [02:47:42] to them? There's two separate issues [02:47:43] here. There's the [02:47:45] >> No, no. The the quick answer is no. Not [02:47:48] here. Not now. [02:47:50] >> I didn't prevent it from responding. [02:47:52] That's for sure. [02:47:54] >> So, he says in the meeting, no. The [02:47:55] answer is no. And then under oath he [02:47:57] says I didn't prevent him from [02:47:58] responding. Dan Stra, that is a absolute [02:48:01] 100% contradiction. [02:48:05] >> That's in his deposition at during the [02:48:08] board meeting. Um, which I I guess [02:48:11] you're showing your recording from if I [02:48:15] >> No, I actually got I got the recording. [02:48:16] I got the videotape recording now. They [02:48:18] offered me. [02:48:19] >> Yeah, every everybody has it. Kind of [02:48:21] put it out there, buddy. [02:48:22] >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't. No, [02:48:24] Dan Stra. I have the videotape recording [02:48:26] now from the not not my audio. It's it's [02:48:29] been it's been it's been out on Google. [02:48:31] >> Not the video [02:48:32] >> from from the dangerous Reddit. Yes, it [02:48:34] has. It's been on dangerous Reddit for a [02:48:35] year, but whatever. Whatever. I'm not [02:48:37] gonna argue with about that. Who cares? [02:48:39] But um what I was saying was that is [02:48:42] that the board meeting, I believe [02:48:43] February 6th, and there was supposed to [02:48:45] be the financial board meeting that [02:48:47] Friday, maybe the 10th. Um that was when [02:48:51] you were supposed to show up to listen [02:48:53] to. [02:48:53] >> Okay. So, so Dan, Dan, I just I just [02:48:55] want you're listening to Dan Strak, the [02:48:57] COO who team who I think it's safe to [02:49:01] say that you're an ally, you're a [02:49:03] friend, and you're an investor, [02:49:04] currently an investor. So you Yeah. [02:49:08] >> You know that Matt was on the [02:49:10] compensation committee for Project [02:49:11] Veritas and made comments privately [02:49:13] about how he knows how much money I make [02:49:15] when he solicited these investments from [02:49:16] me. He was a board member who was [02:49:19] soliciting investments. I didn't solicit [02:49:21] investments from anybody. So, you're [02:49:23] suggesting he gave you a raise or [02:49:25] invested his companies? [02:49:26] >> I'm suggesting that as a board member [02:49:28] soliciting money from donors, he should [02:49:30] have disclosed that. [02:49:31] >> And I've never And I've never [02:49:34] >> And I've never solicited money from [02:49:36] anything. I've never [02:49:38] >> What are you talking about? You've never [02:49:39] solicited money? That's your biggest [02:49:40] claim to fame. You solicit money all day [02:49:42] long. [02:49:42] >> I never solicited money into for-profit [02:49:44] companies to fund my Wall Street deals. [02:49:47] >> And and Yeah. And and and he was on a [02:49:49] board as a nonpaid [02:49:52] Why? Why are Why are you Why are you [02:49:54] Everyone sees but you. Everyone sees it [02:49:57] but you. [02:49:58] >> Everyone sees but me. Everybody sees it. [02:50:00] >> Everybody sees it but you. [02:50:03] >> I just played you a clip where where a [02:50:05] clip from the board meeting where [02:50:08] they're where they're saying no no no [02:50:11] no. I'm trying to respond to these fake [02:50:13] allegations, Dan. Defamation against me. [02:50:16] Things that are lies and they won't let [02:50:18] me respond. [02:50:18] >> What What allegations are lies? We want [02:50:21] to go through all of them individually [02:50:24] that I made that that I that I miss that [02:50:27] I Matt Tman said I took a private plane [02:50:30] to bang trashy [ __ ] [02:50:32] That's a lie. It never happened. [02:50:36] He said I went to Utah to be with my [02:50:38] girlfriend. I took a a commercial flight [02:50:41] to Utah to get a $100,000 check so that [02:50:44] you could eat your bread and feed your [02:50:46] family. And he defamed me. And he [02:50:49] defamed me. [02:50:50] No, no, nobody in the organization was [02:50:53] there for the paycheck. Everybody [02:50:54] believed in the mission. [02:50:55] >> Yeah, but did you just I just answered [02:50:57] your I just answered your question. He [02:50:59] defamed me repeatedly. He continues to [02:51:01] defame me. [02:51:02] >> And you just asked for evidence and I [02:51:04] gave you the evidence. [02:51:05] >> Okay. [02:51:06] >> And you have absolutely nothing to say. [02:51:09] He says he wanted to carve my heart out [02:51:11] and eat it. [02:51:14] >> Yeah. I [02:51:14] >> What do you think about that? [02:51:15] >> I I I think Bobby said it right. Like [02:51:17] Like this is personal [ __ ] You guys [02:51:20] have a thing against each other. [02:51:21] >> No. No. It's more than that. It's more [02:51:24] than that. [02:51:24] >> Yeah. Yeah. [02:51:26] >> And And by the way, Dan, are you a [02:51:27] Christian? [02:51:30] >> Well, well, you're going to bring this [02:51:31] up like you're some churchgoing guy [02:51:32] because you weren't when I first started [02:51:34] at Project Bus, but whatever. Um, [02:51:37] >> are you a I was born Roman Catholic. [02:51:40] >> Are what do you what do you do? I'm [02:51:43] >> baptized and confirmed. [02:51:44] >> And are and what are your beliefs now? [02:51:49] It it I'm not an organized religion guy. [02:51:52] Really? So, [02:51:53] >> are you an atheist? Quite frankly, [02:51:55] >> are you an atheist? [02:51:56] >> You want all the atheist [ __ ] up? [02:51:57] >> No, I'm asking you a question. I'm just [02:51:59] asking you a question. [02:52:00] >> I'm I'm I'm I'm more of more of a a [02:52:03] scientist than a Bible guy, but I [02:52:04] believe in the morals and virtue, and I [02:52:06] think that the church does a lot of [02:52:08] things. That's why my son has been [02:52:09] baptized and gone through the sacraments [02:52:11] as well. [02:52:12] >> Do you believe in God? [02:52:14] >> I do. I believe in something bigger than [02:52:15] us. [02:52:16] >> Okay. [02:52:18] Well, to be continued, Dan. Uh, to be [02:52:22] continued and, uh, you you've been [02:52:24] listening to Dan Stra, the chief [02:52:26] operating officer of Project Veritas, [02:52:29] and a lot of hate behind this case [02:52:32] against me, and I'm going to fully [02:52:35] litigate this, and I can't do that [02:52:37] without your help. My deposition is [02:52:38] tomorrow. We have $20,000 left to raise. [02:52:40] So, please, before we sign off, donate [02:52:42] as much as you can. I hope I've been I [02:52:45] run from nothing and hide from nothing. [02:52:46] I've had four employees on the air [02:52:49] tonight, all who you guys think that [02:52:51] it's it's fake. They It's definitely [02:52:54] not. These are real people that worked [02:52:57] for me a few years ago. And we have to [02:53:00] work together to shine a light on the [02:53:01] darkness. It's not just about me or PV. [02:53:04] This is an ineff. [02:53:08] And these same people have their arms in [02:53:12] far more than this. By the way, it's our [02:53:16] job to tell the story in full. [02:53:19] Our donation link is, By the way, they [02:53:21] hate when I ask for donations. Did you [02:53:22] notice that? They get really angry. [02:53:24] They're probably seething seething and [02:53:27] angry that I'm asking for donations. [02:53:29] Like, that's unethical. That's how they [02:53:31] pay their bills. That's how we do the [02:53:33] journalism. [02:53:36] They get so angry that I ask for [02:53:37] donations. Like, it's wrong. They [02:53:40] actually resented me traveling, raising [02:53:42] donations. That's right. $80,000 in [02:53:45] three hours. [02:53:47] And what is the outcome that I want? [02:53:48] Well, the outcome that I want is the [02:53:50] truth. I want to show the truth, the [02:53:51] reality. I'm I'm I'm playing a video [02:53:54] recording. Andrew, can we just play that [02:53:56] one more time? This is This is just the [02:53:58] part where Skaggel says, "No, no, no. [02:54:00] You're not allowed to respond." And then [02:54:02] says, "Under oath, I didn't prevent him [02:54:04] from responding." It's a direct [02:54:05] contradiction. Play it again. [02:54:07] >> responds to them. There's two separate [02:54:09] issues here. There's the [02:54:11] >> no. No. The the quick answer is no. Not [02:54:15] here. Not now. [02:54:16] >> I didn't prevent it from responding. [02:54:19] That's for sure. [02:54:20] >> He literally says the opposite of what [02:54:23] happened. I didn't pro May I please [02:54:26] respond to these allegations? No, no, [02:54:27] no, no. Dan Stra says, "Well, you were [02:54:29] the chairman of the board." Well, I [02:54:32] guess not in that moment I wasn't. I was [02:54:34] in the process of being suspended. I [02:54:36] could not physically respond. They [02:54:38] wouldn't let me talk. [02:54:41] It's like it's it's just like the truth [02:54:45] versus false, light versus darkness. But [02:54:47] we have someone on the phone who's been [02:54:48] very very very very patient. Um hello, [02:54:51] are you there? Can you hear me? [02:54:54] Can you hear me? Are you there? [02:54:56] >> Yes. [02:54:57] >> I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Um you're [02:54:59] a supporter and you've donated tonight [02:55:02] and thank you for doing that. I just [02:55:04] wanted your thoughts listening to some [02:55:05] of this and and learning from some of it [02:55:08] and your thoughts on the deposition [02:55:09] tomorrow. [02:55:12] >> Well, you know, all I can say is that, [02:55:15] you know, I'm [02:55:17] like so many American patriots out [02:55:19] there. Uh, you know, I feel helpless to [02:55:23] do anything. And I am thankful for James [02:55:28] and the O'Keeffe Media Group that you're [02:55:30] fighting the fight that we can't. [02:55:33] And you know, you're carrying the water [02:55:35] for the rest of us that feel helpless to [02:55:38] fight against the deep state and the [02:55:40] corruption. And I'm just thankful that [02:55:44] you're there and I that I could do a [02:55:46] little something to make a donation. And [02:55:48] I wish that everybody listening could [02:55:50] make some donation to help. That's about [02:55:53] all we can do because you're the voice [02:55:55] force and you're carrying the water [02:55:57] force. [02:55:58] >> But but did you hear Dan Stra and the [02:56:00] other employees of Veritas and their [02:56:03] What did your reaction to some of these [02:56:05] individuals in their [02:56:08] >> Well, I haven't I haven't heard all of [02:56:10] it. Uh [02:56:12] you know, I I don't I don't really know [02:56:15] what to say or what to comment. Um, I [02:56:19] just going through Twitter X and I I saw [02:56:23] that you needed donations and I wanted [02:56:25] to make a donation [02:56:27] and [02:56:30] you know I I'm thankful that I was able [02:56:32] to do something. [02:56:33] >> Well, thank you for the support and I [02:56:36] appreciate that and um thank you sir for [02:56:40] your kind words. Uh I appreciate that [02:56:44] very much. Thank you. Thank you for what [02:56:46] you're doing. [02:56:46] >> And um Hey Rick, are you there? [02:56:49] >> Yeah, I'm sorry if I cut out earlier. [02:56:51] >> Hey Rick, you're you're a whistleblower. [02:56:53] You're you're a you're a trutht teller. [02:56:55] You you you've listened to I think you [02:56:56] had a chance to listen to Dan Stra talk [02:56:58] and I just want to get your thoughts and [02:57:00] reactions to the substance of what was [02:57:03] being discussed. [02:57:05] >> Uh well, I I did have a chance to hear a [02:57:07] little bit of it. Uh to be frank, it [02:57:09] didn't sound like there was a whole lot [02:57:10] of substance other just than some petty [02:57:13] gripes of uh scorned ex-lover or [02:57:16] something of that nature. Um uh you [02:57:19] know, it it just it doesn't sound like [02:57:21] there is any there there. You know, I [02:57:23] think everybody watched when you were uh [02:57:26] exiled when that when that happened and [02:57:29] we were all waiting for the other shoe [02:57:30] to drop of of some there to be there and [02:57:33] it's never materialized. There was never [02:57:36] anything like is it like and I think it [02:57:38] it's it just it sounds like uh inter [02:57:41] nectine squables of of [02:57:45] Yeah, it it didn't I'm I'm I'm new to [02:57:49] this so it didn't it just [02:57:53] didn't didn't sound that great uh or at [02:57:56] least compelling. And you know, when [02:57:58] somebody's swearing and you're staying [02:58:00] nice and calm, I think it's a perfect [02:58:03] perfect segue into to you going in there [02:58:05] and kicking ass on your deposition [02:58:07] tomorrow because [02:58:07] >> well, the deposition is tomorrow, so we [02:58:09] got to wrap this up in the next 15 [02:58:11] minutes. And that's that's okay that [02:58:12] you're new to this because it's good to [02:58:14] get your sincere and live reaction. Um, [02:58:18] >> well, [02:58:19] >> and if I may, James, I just want to [02:58:20] encourage people to donate to your cause [02:58:22] because you existing helped me to share [02:58:26] the truth. Um, and [02:58:29] and we can't do that without you and you [02:58:31] can't do that without them. And I want [02:58:33] people to imagine what what America [02:58:35] looks like without Project Veraritoss [02:58:37] because there's no competition. Nobody [02:58:38] from the left, right, center is doing [02:58:39] what you're doing. And you are the [02:58:41] bottleneck. You are you are the fulcrum [02:58:43] point where everyone's stories come [02:58:45] through who are trying to spread the [02:58:47] truth and share what's really happening [02:58:49] out there. For all the people that have [02:58:51] been forgotten by the country club [02:58:52] Republicans and the Democrats and [02:58:54] everybody else for decades and decades, [02:58:57] you've given a voice to the people who [02:58:59] see what's really true and right and [02:59:01] what's happening. And without you and [02:59:02] without your organization, none of that [02:59:05] none of this country looks the way that [02:59:06] it does right now getting back on the [02:59:08] right track. And you can't do that [02:59:10] without them. And so as a whistleblower, [02:59:12] as somebody who has benefited from your [02:59:15] existence sharing that truth, um I want [02:59:18] to ask people to to support you because [02:59:22] you support us and and as it is, I mean [02:59:24] that that's that's a team right there. [02:59:26] >> Well, thank you. And Rick, you inspire [02:59:30] me. You and Aaron Veky inspire me. [02:59:33] Rick's Rick's if you're just tuning in. [02:59:35] Rick is a neuroscientist and PhD was [02:59:37] just fired from Florida Tech and he he [02:59:40] in you inspired me. By the way, could [02:59:42] you just share very quickly with the [02:59:43] audience because we've got about 10 15 [02:59:45] minutes more here, but you said [02:59:47] something like I said, "How are you [02:59:49] going to feed your children?" You said, [02:59:50] "I want to feed my children cotton [02:59:51] candy." I thought that was very [02:59:52] powerful. [02:59:53] >> Uh yeah, sure. So, uh, you asked me, you [02:59:57] know, pretty common people say like, how [02:59:59] are you going to feed your kids if you [03:00:00] get fired or before you're thinking [03:00:02] about going public? Like, what is this [03:00:03] really a good idea? You know, you got to [03:00:05] feed your kids, etc., etc. And I said, [03:00:07] well, yeah, we do have to feed our kids. [03:00:08] I'm a father. I have several kids, and [03:00:10] that's a a deep concern of mine that I'm [03:00:13] I'm navigating now through people's [03:00:15] support and donations kindly, too. But [03:00:17] what I said was, you have to feed your [03:00:19] children, but you have to put food in [03:00:21] their their bellies and food in their [03:00:23] mouths. But what I have to do is put [03:00:24] food in their souls. And as a father, [03:00:26] you have to do both. You do have to feed [03:00:28] them. But uh more important than food is [03:00:33] the food for their souls. And if they [03:00:35] learn from me [03:00:37] that they can't respect me as a man, to [03:00:40] have integrity and how to tell the truth [03:00:41] and how to live in the right way and to [03:00:43] sacrifice your values, then that's not [03:00:45] the food that they need to grow up with. [03:00:47] They can drink a protein shake when [03:00:48] they're older and and beef up if they [03:00:50] need to. if they're undernourished in [03:00:52] food, but um where does that leave me as [03:00:56] a father if they're undernourished in [03:00:58] their soul and where does that leave [03:01:00] them? Because you can't come back from [03:01:01] that. And you know um that's a hard [03:01:05] thing to do and it's every father [03:01:08] wrestles with it. And if all you do is [03:01:10] put food in their belly so that they can [03:01:14] become the best well-fed kid in the [03:01:18] state, then that's great. However, but [03:01:22] if you'll do absolutely anything to feed [03:01:24] them, uh, murder, cheat, steal, rape, [03:01:26] anything it takes to take care of your [03:01:27] kids, and I know that feeling as a [03:01:29] father, then you've set an example for [03:01:32] them that has failed them. And that will [03:01:35] not nourish their soul. And our that is [03:01:37] our job as parents. We have to nourish [03:01:39] their soul. And that's where that line [03:01:40] comes. It'll do anything for your kids, [03:01:42] but if you're setting the bad example [03:01:44] for them, you're actually not doing [03:01:46] everything [03:01:46] >> or to avoid and and so well said. And [03:01:49] that that touched me deeply and or to [03:01:52] avoid [03:01:53] risk [03:01:56] uh avoid harm to your reputation, Rick. [03:01:59] I mean Rick Adante is a guy who lost his [03:02:01] job multiple times doing the right thing [03:02:04] and got back up and kept going and to [03:02:08] avoid harm, to avoid risk, to avoid [03:02:11] punishment just so that you could quote [03:02:14] unquote feed your children. Your [03:02:17] children are going to deeply admire you, [03:02:19] Rick. I know that they're rel they're [03:02:21] very young and they're six months old [03:02:23] and four years old, but they're they're [03:02:25] going to admire you one day when they [03:02:27] understand who their father is and what [03:02:28] he stands for. So, you're an inspiration [03:02:31] to me. And I'm not just saying that. I [03:02:33] mean that deeply and sincerely. And and [03:02:36] if you're just tuning in, we've been on [03:02:38] for a long time, everyone. We've been [03:02:39] going for oh boy, 3 hours [03:02:43] raising funds for our deposition [03:02:45] tomorrow. and and litigating on so that [03:02:48] we don't have to settle and we're going [03:02:49] to have to wrap soon. But we do have we [03:02:52] do have another another one of these [03:02:53] guys who worked for me. Uh I think uh [03:02:57] John Bailey [03:02:59] and I'm going to have him on so you can [03:03:01] I I run from nothing and I hide from [03:03:03] nothing. And I'm and I'm and I'm saying [03:03:06] this because I uh I want you guys to [03:03:10] know who these people are so that you [03:03:13] don't have to hear it from me and you [03:03:14] can make your own minds up. You can make [03:03:17] your own decisions about this. But um I [03:03:20] guess John, can you hear me? [03:03:26] John's on. You can speak. [03:03:29] Oh, John can't hear me. He's raising his [03:03:31] hand, but I've already invited him on [03:03:33] the air. Um uh I've invited Christian on [03:03:36] again. Christian Hartsock [03:03:40] and he's he's been invited. Uh John, you [03:03:43] can go ahead and speak if you can hear [03:03:45] me. [03:03:49] Uh we're waiting for them to get on. Uh [03:03:55] can you hear me? Hello. [03:03:58] Well, we're still waiting for them. [03:03:59] We've got about five more minutes, 10 [03:04:01] more minutes. but donate to help us in [03:04:03] our ongoing litigation efforts. I'm [03:04:05] being deposed tomorrow in federal court. [03:04:09] And I'd like Go ahead, [03:04:11] >> James. If I if I can add like the need [03:04:13] to support you, there's nobody out [03:04:15] there. There's a reason why people [03:04:17] aren't competing with you with competing [03:04:19] organizations. No one's doing what [03:04:20] you're doing. And that's because it's [03:04:22] hard. It's hard to do it and it's hard [03:04:25] to fund it. And you're doing both. And [03:04:28] you do need their help. And I'm I'm [03:04:30] asking for people to help for you, too, [03:04:31] because it helps all of us. And and and [03:04:35] the nation needs it. We wouldn't be [03:04:36] where we are as a nation if you hadn't [03:04:39] been doing what you're doing with the [03:04:40] team that you have behind the scenes and [03:04:44] in the shadows, um, nobody is doing it. [03:04:48] There's literally no competition. And [03:04:50] without you guys doing that and without [03:04:52] that the you can't do it without the [03:04:54] people's support. And you're doing it on [03:04:56] behalf of the people. I don't think [03:04:57] you've ever blown the whistle and told a [03:05:00] story that helped out the elite uh rich [03:05:04] guys like you. The stories you break are [03:05:06] helping the everyday people that you [03:05:09] know I you know they [03:05:11] >> and we have Allison from LA, John from [03:05:13] Washington, Lyd Lydia from Minnesota, [03:05:16] Sean from New York, Jackie from [03:05:17] Tennessee, Mel from Texas, Thomas from [03:05:19] Missouri, Dawn from Minnesota, Edwin [03:05:21] from Arizona. Thank you for your [03:05:22] support. I'm trying to get one or two [03:05:25] more people on the air here, but I can't [03:05:28] seem to to do it. Uh I tried. Um Oh, [03:05:32] this is this is this is uh Michael [03:05:35] Casey. Are you there? Michael, can you [03:05:38] hear me? [03:05:39] >> I'm here. Thank you for having me up [03:05:40] here. [03:05:41] >> Dan Dan Stra, uh the chief operating [03:05:43] officer of Project called you a Bergen [03:05:45] Community College intern because you [03:05:48] showed up to request comment. That is [03:05:50] the new term for a muckaker, James. [03:05:53] That's the new term for journalists. [03:05:54] Junior community college interns. [03:05:57] >> This you're hearing from from a young [03:05:58] man in New Jersey who who showed up to [03:06:01] try to get comment from Stra. They tried [03:06:03] to say that we were intimidating [03:06:05] witnesses, Mike. Intimidating witnesses. [03:06:08] >> Well, I am a very intimidating guy, [03:06:09] James, as you know. I'm very scary. You [03:06:11] know, those workouts with you in the gym [03:06:13] have made me very intimidating. [03:06:15] >> I think Mike's being sarcastic. Um, [03:06:18] >> no, but you know, it's it's it's crazy [03:06:19] that, you know, he was very emotional [03:06:21] throughout this entire Twitter space. He [03:06:23] was very emotional. [03:06:24] >> Yeah. What was your reaction to that to [03:06:25] that? What was your take on that? [03:06:27] >> Seemed like he was drunk and on and [03:06:28] drinking a lot of alcohol tonight [03:06:30] because he dodged the questions. He was [03:06:32] very just took a lot of emotion. You [03:06:34] stayed very calm and cool, which I give [03:06:36] you a lot of credit for, James. In the [03:06:38] face of evil, you remain calm. You don't [03:06:40] lose your temper. You don't lose your [03:06:41] focus. He was very emotional. He chose [03:06:44] to come up here, but he he lost his [03:06:46] temper frequently, slurring his words as [03:06:48] if he was on al drinking a lot of [03:06:49] alcohol tonight, which is very [03:06:50] disturbing. [03:06:51] >> Yeah, I asked him about that and he [03:06:54] laughed and he didn't answer the [03:06:55] question. [03:06:57] >> Tell and then you and then you brought [03:06:58] up how I would try to get a comment out [03:06:59] of him and he dodged that question too. [03:07:02] You know, I would have loved to hear why [03:07:04] he was so intimidated by you and I just [03:07:07] trying to get a comment. Just a mere [03:07:08] comment. [03:07:08] >> Also that that you have an ego. It's [03:07:10] like it's like they always accuse you of [03:07:12] that which they are guilty of. The ego [03:07:15] of of some of these people to to you [03:07:19] know try to go on like you know it's [03:07:23] just and to blame shift and they they [03:07:26] all the thing the the powers and [03:07:28] principalities. We have Monica on the [03:07:30] phone a telephone from Jacksonville [03:07:32] Florida. Monica are you there? [03:07:35] >> Can you hear me Monica? [03:07:36] >> Oh sorry Monica are you there? [03:07:38] >> I am here. How are you doing? [03:07:40] >> Thank you for the support, Monica. [03:07:42] >> No, thank you for standing for the truth [03:07:45] and I hope that tomorrow you have a very [03:07:48] good day and that you remain calm and [03:07:51] and that everything works fine for you. [03:07:54] >> I I promise to remain calm calm. I'm [03:07:57] going to ask if I can live stream the [03:07:59] depo because I think that'd be cool. [03:08:01] >> That'll be great. [03:08:02] >> And uh I I I run from nothing. I will I [03:08:05] will talk about anything. Sometimes I [03:08:07] can't talk about donor names due to [03:08:10] identity identity issues or the names of [03:08:12] confidential sources that have come to [03:08:14] us but otherwise I'm an open book. So [03:08:17] >> well [03:08:19] well I just uh want to know how do you [03:08:21] do it? I mean all that you have gone [03:08:24] through. I mean I remember that the FBI [03:08:28] went to your house and [03:08:31] just keep up the strength and let us [03:08:33] know how you do it. How I do it is God [03:08:37] and good parents [03:08:41] >> because because my parents taught me to [03:08:44] believe in the best in people. [03:08:48] >> Now there's a flip side of that coin. [03:08:50] When you're raised to believe the best [03:08:52] in people, sometimes you miss the worst [03:08:53] in people. [03:08:55] >> Yes. And [03:08:56] >> Yes. And there are some people that are [03:08:57] very cunning. [03:08:59] >> Yes. And conniving. So my mother never [03:09:02] said, "Oh, they're jealous. Oh, they're [03:09:04] envious. Oh, they're they're this that [03:09:06] that's not how I was. I wasn't really [03:09:08] focused on that, and therefore I have [03:09:11] gotten burned. [03:09:12] >> I was once blind, but now I see. And I [03:09:16] hope that I continue to see clearly. And [03:09:19] I hope that all of you follow Monica's [03:09:21] lead and donate to help defend us in [03:09:24] court tomorrow. [03:09:26] >> Um, [03:09:27] >> yes, definitely. Because when when you [03:09:29] win, the truth win and and that is good [03:09:32] for everyone. [03:09:33] >> Someone said the truth will have you [03:09:35] stocking shelves or mowing lawns. [03:09:38] >> That's what Rick Dante is doing. But but [03:09:40] Rick Dante, his conscience shines in his [03:09:43] eyes like a clear mountain lake. And [03:09:45] that matters more than all the gold and [03:09:48] all the money is doing the right thing. [03:09:51] Thank you, Monica. [03:09:52] >> Thank you so much. And I hope that [03:09:54] everyone donates. And again, I wish you [03:09:56] the best tomorrow. [03:09:58] >> Thank you. [03:09:58] >> God bless you, James. [03:10:00] >> We have one. [03:10:01] >> Hey, James. I got a lawn mower here. [03:10:04] >> We're going to I'm I'm coming up there [03:10:05] to mow the lawn as soon as I get out of [03:10:08] court. Um, okay. One more. One more. [03:10:11] Yeah. I can't even mow lawns because I'm [03:10:12] in federal court. One more call. [03:10:14] Cassandra, are you there? [03:10:17] >> Can you hear me? [03:10:19] >> Yep. Okay, you've got two minutes and [03:10:21] then I'm gonna I'm gonna sign off for [03:10:22] the night. I'll give you the last word. [03:10:25] Well, I just wanted to say as somebody [03:10:27] who did used to work for you, who [03:10:28] doesn't think that you're just an [03:10:30] [ __ ] or hate you, that that's not how [03:10:32] a lot of people who used to work for [03:10:34] you, even those of us who were let go by [03:10:37] the company, [03:10:38] I've talked to several of them even just [03:10:41] today. [03:10:45] >> Yes. Go ahead. [03:10:48] >> You there? I don't know. Did it [03:10:49] >> Yeah, I I hear you. You're live. I was [03:10:52] like, yeah, I was saying that I had [03:10:54] talked to several people who had all [03:10:56] been let go by Project Veraritoss, none [03:10:58] of which hate you. [03:11:00] >> So, this idea that everyone who's ever [03:11:03] worked for you thinks you're an [ __ ] [03:11:05] is just factually inaccurate. [03:11:08] >> Well, I appreciate that. I appreciate [03:11:10] that. And and um I mean, what what is [03:11:12] your I don't know if you listen to some [03:11:14] of that from from Dan and the others. [03:11:16] What was your reaction? What What are [03:11:17] your thoughts? H Dan, it was very [03:11:21] erratic. The Bobby thing, as you know, [03:11:24] you and I have had conversations that [03:11:26] cracked me up. Um, [03:11:30] I know that there are still board [03:11:32] members who are trying to reach out to [03:11:34] or ex board members, I don't know what [03:11:35] their current status is, reaching out to [03:11:38] former employees who are still trying to [03:11:40] get people to flip on you. So, [03:11:45] >> well, I am going to be deposed tomorrow [03:11:49] and I will I appreciate your comment and [03:11:52] um you know, it's tough being a leader, [03:11:54] being a boss, but this is the price of [03:11:56] of getting things done, of raising [03:11:58] funds, of [03:12:01] thank you for not thinking I'm an [03:12:03] [ __ ] I appreciate that. I I I said [03:12:06] sometimes I can I can be tough [03:12:09] uh because I care and I want and I want [03:12:12] to be right. I want to be factually [03:12:13] correct in our journalism and I want to [03:12:15] make sure we're not settling litigation [03:12:17] and and and you know paying the bills. [03:12:20] But I will I will leave you with [03:12:21] something that struck me after the [03:12:23] depositions last week. It's taken me a [03:12:26] while to understand that the fight [03:12:27] against is against powers and [03:12:29] principalities. The struggle is actually [03:12:31] very real. It's about the darkness [03:12:33] inside of men. [03:12:35] the lack of conscience, the evil, and [03:12:37] their ability to lie without remorse or [03:12:39] introspection, to have a seared [03:12:40] conscience. [03:12:42] And when you're fighting monsters, it's [03:12:45] very important that you don't yourself [03:12:46] become a monster. When you stare into [03:12:48] the abyss, as Nichi said, it's very [03:12:50] important, well, the abyss often stares [03:12:53] back into you, and you discover who you [03:12:54] really are. I have seen such evil. I [03:12:57] will never be the same. But I don't [03:12:59] think it's a bad thing. I think it's a [03:13:02] good thing. And here's why. Because the [03:13:04] people that I have right now at OMG are [03:13:06] great people. We've got a great team. [03:13:08] Some of the best undercover people ever, [03:13:10] by the way. I mean, we've got a team of [03:13:12] undercover people. You'll never know who [03:13:14] they are. Why? Because they are solid to [03:13:17] the core. They are cohesive. We're [03:13:19] breaking a story on Thursday inside the [03:13:21] federal government. We're breaking a [03:13:22] story next week with the FBI. We are [03:13:25] rocking and rolling. And that's the gift [03:13:27] that God gave me. [03:13:29] He took me out of a situation to elevate [03:13:33] me to a better situation. [03:13:36] So stay tuned everyone listening. [03:13:38] Tomorrow I'm going to federal court. I'm [03:13:40] going to be deposed under oath. I run [03:13:43] from nothing. I hide from nothing. [03:13:48] Stay tuned. And thank you all for [03:13:50] supporting us. We've raised a lot of [03:13:51] money. It'll all go to pay lawyers.
