6:54 pm
is going on. so everything this book physically five years to write this book is really follow under that a lot about principles and values that we cherish i'm trying to define how to be a truth teller and help to speak the truth and clam world, living in cle elum world so i'm going to get to our mission by the way our mission at project veritas is to expose them and waste abuse and corruption new york governor into the pimp with my female companion, dressed like that, that is how we were dressed. and we going to cover into these institutions we use pretense we used to disguise because we just goo people and identify ourselves as reporters, never tell us the truth so we have toe last 12 years i've been exposing these institutions, and they hit back at me hard withs week somethingradinary ed president at cnn . [applause] [applause]
6:55 pm
>> and she's waving the flag back there any date resigned and he did some bad things, or these things will come out and because the news organization cnn, perley does not have any core values behave ethically come all these people now chris cuomo and jake - are talking each of that don't know if you saw that and i don't know what will happen, and maybe cnn will actually get back to its mission. in reporting the new stranger things have happened but we went undercover i cnn recently i would like to believe notor what we did, is a without believing this man charlie chester, was a control room director see and itou want to sw you video tape have him in this video was one of the biggest things veritasver did it, and charlie chester at cnn, is talkingn' about cnn's mission by the way, he does not say is the
6:56 pm
most trusted damon is i charlie chester said they are a propaganda networkgn decided to curse donald trump a list of the. >> he was jogging. [inaudible]. and you take him as i young geriatric. [inaudible]. >> we expose him he didn't know anything about it to 19. '[inaudible]. it wasn't for cnn, he didn't know. >> the focus was t get trump out of office rightithout saying that was what it was me mikey make the admission right the, our focus is to get to help biden to be the aviator shades on biden to make chemical and he said, and without saying, that is with her focus is. sorry there, you see with our
6:57 pm
mission is an more of the sink, cnn the most james earl jones, why isn't cnn our focus is to get trump out. [laughter] and so listen, if you want to be a propaganda network, that is your right, just call yourself it propaganda network they don't is a weak have these hidden cameras this guy did not know that he was being recorded and ishe quick come he talks about e covid-19 and 800 pandemic thing gangbusters through seen in that is all about fear and is all the money, know that science but don't take my word for it, let me quote cnn's control room director. >> to 19. >> gangbusters covid-19, gangbusters. >> and up numbers on the screen, death just told you can't annunciated i don't think anybody here watchch is it, does anybody watch cnn, they have like 17 years and most of them
6:58 pm
in the reports, but the content, this .oo and stuff it should on instagm and facebook and twitter and google news a, and the tech companies chair had been here you have that dk numbers a it chester said that we do this inttially, we put e desk told the swing to make it higher because we need more people to die so the writings can go up at organizations like sanded and many of the room come up to me the st. james, was behind it and i'm showing you what's behind it, this is the media machine talking to scare you so they can make money, it's writings and whathe they do but don't take my word for it, the me quote the guy behind the curtain. >> this is why we need the death toll, and make it like way is date high enough today like it would make our points better if it was higher. >> i'm really wanting to death to be higher, why is in a, we
6:59 pm
need more people to die. this is our media, it is a disgrace, it is a disgrace and you already know this but the more that we can expose this, the better. see information is accountability, we need more information you can elect all of the people you want into the elected office for the p less yu can change people's hearts and minds including in your state of california, revealed to recall governor of the means of people in your state, vote or disagree you, someone as you can change their hearts and minds, you're going to be able to six issues you're having. because many of those people believe what they see on cnn heard and so it is really an information warrant that is not an easy thing to hear everyone easy solutions to throw money at the politicians and fix it right away that as long as your people believe what they read it with a see, hear and have the same problems. and so at project veritas, we
7:00 pm
have a lot of fun, one of the best things we did was this and i don't know if you saw this, we have whistleblowers every where. we he informants everywhere, that may be why the fbi came to my house, high don't know. another frequently asked questions, james, what is next my responses what is not next pretty we have people everywhere and you c will see a strike amounted tomorrow by the way, big story coming tomorrow and now this video from one of the most amazing moments ever, at project veritas, one such insiderr give me access to resident jeff zucker's 9:00 a.m. conference calls. and i proceeded to record those 9: a.m. conference calls for two months coming on so in one day, see is all about
7:01 pm
transparency, we want to know how to make the sausage we want to know how to manufacture the consent to noam chomsky and so on the 61st day, i decided to dial into the conference call and say hello to jeff zucker and tell him that i had been recording him for the last two months. my colleague live streamed this and you're about to watch it, this lifestream foam is unplanned, and you did it, dialing into the conference call and here we go see knock hey jeff server, hey this is james o'keefe, we've been listening to your cnn calls for basically two months in recording everything and it just wanted to ask you, some questions of you have a minute do you still feel you must trusted damon is because i have to say for my phone calls, i don't know about that we have a lot of recordings that indicated that you're not really that independent journalists.
7:02 pm
>> thank you for - so people will do, we will have an assistant. >> i was shocked that he actually talk to me for humanity, thank you for your comments will set up a news conferencece and he said will jt get on the new system while we are already a new system instead of setting up a new system, don't be agileei and don't lie o see because we are watching we are finding and were are everywhere, project veritas we are everywhere. >> back. >> is like a person or persons who god is access to this is still there head of the person personsi inside of bc news god s access to the amy and jeff epstein moment that we've recorded which was a big deal, i
7:03 pm
person is still there' and so yu not going to intimidate project veritas and okay, so fast forward to, i'm in california are we did a big story we will only say, what are your favorite story over the last year or so to say distributed on the feature in california, in sacramento and i remember this one, you guysot have a lot of. interesting people in califor and particularly your public school teachers. and now armando has changes in the beginning o we would have to infiltrate and now the people in the inside come t us some minutes it is a picture of a classroom in sacramento with the teacher was hanging a picture of chairman now, and into effect like in the classroom i found that interesting pretty so we sent one of our brave undercover journalist to be with this guy gabriel, in august of 2021, and
7:04 pm
of them recorded him talking about how he wants to turn his students into revolutionaries this is a coffee shop in sacramento. >> i want to turn them into revolutionaries. >> have you do that. >> and scare the f out of the students he said and send them to events whether will get extra credit for protesting with intifada and i wonder if the parents know about this. >> thing on the take pictures they run a discussion like i haven't eva flight of the roof and they say. [inaudible]. and ino don't really note. >> he wants to make your students, feel uncomfortable so we can infer that this man in the street in his neighborhood, and he told us that we were making him feel uncomfortable summa gabriel, hello how are
7:05 pm
wiyou, i am with project veritas in size to talk with you. >> don't mind my calling recording, we are recording but you're going to be more interested in what i have to say dear. >> i don't feel comfortable. >> everything i don't feel comfortable any tested hammer and a single shirt, i guy is a high school teacher, communist and he was even stamping orhomework assignments with the stolen space. this is actually happening and is happened and i saw willie knew knew this was happening they did nothing was out until project veritas shut up the recordings are meant that everybody got outraged and that's a real scandal, where the people school still there. so we release this video but something really amazing happened it, the school board meetings the next day. in sacramento california, hundreds of parents flooded the
7:06 pm
school board meetings. [applause] [applause] >> there is a moment in the trajectory of project veritas the really defined but we are all about, causing what was originally termed, the name of the book, righteous indignation and you have to get people who don't agree with you, everybody in this room agrees, i'm preaching to the choir that's okay, but if you get people who don't agree with you to agree with you if you want to affect change. so what you are about to see is that in these people not like you, unnecessarily carveout necessarily republican on or democrats necessarily activated it all in politics of the and her angry mama there's there seeing candace mccants being affected by this danger whether it's communism or fascism or whatever you want to call it, abuse a form of child abuse.
7:07 pm
>> i like this woman and what she says in a couple of other parents of organic righteous thousand and fashion people that are just pissed off. >> and into weeks, and 30 days, he was allowed to change my daughter's mind, about some fascist that you will have led in the school. [applause] [applause] [cheering]. >> i am tired, this is ridiculous, this is not going on in texas and there are two grades higher in g california. as i think that my very sound of minded daughter, would go against i me, which is in our values and our home, to be able to goo and support this man, tht is putting her in harm's way and what the heck are you doing. >> and she goes on and on in
7:08 pm
these parents were justt so outraged. i got shut hundred such well is really one of the most but we lifestream this board meeting on instagram and if landed in and the parents to flooded as around the time that was happening in virginias. >> with project veritas was exactly what i thought would happen in the elementary school. >> i am not shocked, why because there's another teacher right down the road and we did the same thing to my son. >> there a lot of teachers in california doing this, they just need to be exposed was interesting about this is they actually california, it's very difficult state to fire a tenured teacher naturally fired this teacher after we exposed it. >> i got cut back. >> the lose governance, local cbs 13 pretty. >> investment gabriel has been putiv on administrative leave ten-school board making an
7:09 pm
official decision to fire him. >> a lot of people safe you the information other, that's another question that i was asked in the hallway here and where do you distribute your videos. and i say, cbs news does trooper it intent to distribute videos in your thinking big enough, do i see on bright but to do i see on fox, will hopefully but i want them to talk about physics, okay and you say will that is impossible, no it's not i am showing you that it is possible that it requires information that is so powerful that they cannot ignore it. in this really her mission is in it, to get information that's the visual and not just the texture of the speeches are white papers or articles but visual information in there's a check of this bookk american muckraker of image, race and image obviously images project veritaser and they are more
7:10 pm
powerful than the spoken word. so there are some things as a country that is something that we are united not, very few but you don't abuse children and you don't brag about it. certain things i think that if we could focus on the we can get things like this to happen pretty much it will that is just one teacher i say well, you're not going to i change the world all in a new york minute, it is going to take a little while and you have to expose all of them we need an army of these exposures and these grassroots people. project veritas is a lot of incredible people coming to us and one recent one involved documents from the defensew department and this is what he saw the story, now we have whistleblower several rehab sources everywhere and people give us documents and inside of the department of defense a literally depending on papers an interesting is that yesterday can i don'td even know is accompanying on papers from the
7:11 pm
1970s, was the new york times even published those thesef days of it made administration look bad. i don't know a lot of the sources have nowhere else to go, they don't have anywhere to go so they come to us in these documents will you had revelationsbo about getting the function research was approached to start been approached by humbling us to do research on that form for on the viruses and it was rejected because it was too dangerous. according to the department of defensnd the documents also say that dr. fauci was prussian approved it under his leadershipum at any id and these documents are accurate i would mean that dr. fauci lied under oath this was offered by marine corps major name joseph murthy in the department of defense aims that the source of the documents but he did off an offer them any actually issued a statement to me, when i early
7:12 pm
approached him for comment and listen to it this marine corps major both these documents and t again not theha source of the information listen to what he said was. >> and they assess w person, wod you like to comment about this video here's with this marine said c. >> i offered no comments on the investigation or internal marine corps deliberations, i offer brief comments a to those with e answers to those who withhold them and those seeking answers, i offeren encouragement and are good people striving for the truth working together in anov t of government and they succeed and those that withhold, i pray for you and find more courage to come forward and a little ibr legacy to prosperity, people were forgive in a commitment to truth is in the heart of the station semper fi. >> is powerful and what's interesting about the statement is that found that there are a good people striving these are his words good people striving for the truth, working in
7:13 pm
government and so another words, has come there are g good people at these places not necessarily all good visitations but it would even say the best majority of them are good people notice following the orders. and we must do is appeal to the consciences so that they can do the right thing and if we don't do that, there's no hope for the country and is the only option this mission as i think you're going to see more, his head, more people in the government coming forward it this information it and we have to have those people's backs how we have to defend them when they come forward. [applause] [applause] >> okay, so now mr. rogan is having some issues these days. this advice yesterday and said double down, aa on.
7:14 pm
and stop apologizing, don't apologize, there is nothing to apologize for i saw this morning rubble offered rogan $1 milliono rumble and spotify. i think mr. rogan should having a podcast i think it would be a great podcast but usually had to say aut this dr. anthony fauci stuff and this really interesting of the asked him to reject the evidenced of your eys and your ears don't they go they ask you to trust them by virtue of the decree that they are credible by virtue of their own decree as it was really a self-anointed rocket is often not going to trust the video because of that veritas guy, both on me, the document anything the documents were fake. this is what i do, see that is the propaganda that the ask you to trust the new york times and washington post by virtue of the degree that they are credible because they say so and they never show you any evidence.
7:15 pm
that trump tax returns for the new york times bombshell was coincided with her minnesota story a year ago, they didn't show you record sources from the noon show you the video and they didn't even show you any documents but they ask you to trust them we have no reason to trust them have no reason to trust media. >> okay so we had james o'keefe on project veritas from the other day and he's exposing threats to democracy and he's exposing, real-life corruption and he's exposing real live conspiracies the no no, but it is veritas and even if what he is saying is a threats, somehow or another decided that individual, can be like well it's almost like ath cure to the reality of whatever he is exposing like it's a will does not matter because it is james o'keefe and you put that on top of the thing it all goes away. >> it is while.
7:16 pm
>> i think it will continue to attack us until they stop attacking us but will continue to question for credibility but the results speak for themselves. the real results speak for themselves and even dr. anthony fauci him even this man, was in. [inaudible]. >> this guy was in the senate the documents about the confirmed the authenticity of the document and even mentioned project veritas. >> what came out last night, on project veritas, was a grant that was amended to doppler. >> that's what we gotta keep yoexposing what is going on inse and you're going to ask me, how we do that and i'm giving you a roadmap for the book talks about it, is about getting people
7:17 pm
inside, too, publican which is a really hard thing to do, sacrifice and requires pain and requires perseverance. and it also the first chapter in the book is called suffering into my sake i did you write a chapter about that, well i am glad you asked. commencing of the fbi came to my house and this is the second time in my life, that the fbi has put me in handcuffs i'm a journalist and i may be the only man will ever know is not a gangster or mobster or a terrorist it does have thispe happen to him on multiple occasions and have a new 2010 going to orleans there were the whole of the w book about that. i was innocent. but i was falsely accused to come incarcerated in of probation and eventually i got a misdemeanor for that incident new orleans where i'm showing up
7:18 pm
and asking questions and last year or the year b about a year and have ago or so, joe biden's dghrs diary.source a woman named ashley come that many people don't realize joe biden has abounding ashley we look into this was on larry's we decided not to publish and we cannot verify with certainty that it was actually her senate did not want to publish something in the blowup project veritas by publishing something that was not real good and there are other reasons for not publishing it and we did approach joe biden for commented we been charted to give the diary to actually biden ande her lawyer they would not receive it so we give into law enforcement have where it was found. in here later, fbi agent shows up with the health it with two of my colleagues on november 3rd, to make a statement about this is
7:19 pm
ridiculous were not going tote e intimidated by this void to keep doing our job to the southern district of new york, this is the federal court and southern new york city where i live was behindat this is going to be intimidated this time a vehicle is to to intimidate us in arming the goal is to scare us are in the goal is to get access to our phones and then on saturday, november 5th, november 6, i hear a knocking on my door at 6:00 a.m. by the fbi. and you know the banging on the door o, i'm fbi veteran to the north and i open it is ten - 12 legions with flashlights in my face when it happened i was immediately taken back to my last encounter with the feds, ten years ago and is it here we go again the coming handcuffs for those that this is three or four month ago,y november 6 and they threw me against the
7:20 pm
hallway wall in my apartment building, my two-bedroom apartment in about an hour north of new york city, and it will in handcuffs and they put me on my couch and proceeded to show me a search warrant so i did by the magistrate judge a lower little judge new york city and fight could not understand why with into this as a reporter, have a right to receive documents from anybody. songs i did not participate in the obtaining of them. this is american as apple pie the supreme court has protected the right for the journalist to receive such documents and somed claim this fire marie pistole and i did not know if it was pretty but evento if it was i hd nothing to do without. and i did not publish it so this is running through my head as i'm sitting there these fbi agents rummaging through rachel with his warrant card signed by a judge and why did the judge sign that warrant, i don't know and i left the home and i'll be
7:21 pm
honest with you, certainly scary maybe this is why people don't do what i do because you all fear this happening to you if you do what i do and isn't that the point. isn't that their goal read really, this is about fear isn't it that you really can't solve the problems that you want to solve them as you the underlying problem which is your fear, though my fear and i have been born again i'm very but i'm afraid of very little. my countrymen are so afraid. okay were all going to die wendy i was asked for two days ago and i get asked these questions, they are so hard, aren't you going to end up like - i don't even know how to answer his head in my going to end up in solitary confinement, i don't know but we are all going to die and is the only certainty, death and taxes. so i'm goingnd to follow my
7:22 pm
conscious into the right thing. that is what i'm going to do. [applause] [applause] >> legal site how you get any rest well that is how i sleep at night, because if you follow my conscious and so on that day, in my apartment building, guess i i was in danger say that i was in danger and whatever you're like eincarcerated in handcuffs federal agents are payout undercutting a door with a battery ram, safe to say that you were in danger until this happens at the gross violation of my constitutional rights in your constitutional rights because the first amendment is the right and the of rights on the big sovereign rights possible and if you don't have an informed population, you have nothing they are doing this is a journalist in this country, you are screwed in your next and i just want to play a few clips that commentators are talking about why that is. >> to probably going to project
7:23 pm
veritas have been rated by federally just and project veritass over there is organization are they not. >> is there a news organization and they should be treated as such, projectn' veritas did the right thing they did not publish this because they could not verify the authenticity of the document and what is so bewildering about this is why the world of the feds even involved in this and is assumed that is a theft or burglary, is not a federal crime. >> also took her have been commenting about his moste amazingly, the one that stands assessment of the fbi respond to domestic burglaries and we call the doj the next time your card gets broken into coming another presence drug addicted kid, god is totally third world as an attack on press freedom. >> so this happens head or something there in my apartment and holding a search warrant and venice later, guess who i get a text message from, the new york times which somehow knows a of
7:24 pm
th detailsnd the neighbors while theeibors would not of the subject to thee grand jury and the neighbors wereot know on the search but somehow, mike smith, national security reporter of new york times knows about some of these things and i am still sitting in a state of shock. and that iss the problem that ae media is working in concert with her fbi? how is that left-wing what is liberal about it is ill liberal there's nothing liberal about that if people say you're right wing good so, in a world where pharmaceutical companies in the fbi and new york times are working inn harmony, i don't evn know if that is certainly not liberal. but i'm sitting there dealing with us in going through my head, something extraordinary happens on the river night, just three days after the raid, a brave reporter at the new york times of all places of the same
7:25 pm
institution trying to guess to destroy us, at project veritas modeling newoi york times by dog over there doing of the written like 12 from pages about me, should be investigating the government. but one of the reporters from a different reporter ben smith who works in media columnists, brave reporter actually giving credit i'm he tweeted outcome i r don't think journalist should be sure rate of james o'keefe and he defended us. i got attacked for his have got to that about we had other people defend us and edward snowden and freedom of the press perspective mom sorry readings we come i'm sorry this is pouring from a press freedom perspective until the department just releases evidence that project veritas was involved in a theft which we work, because if there is no income other than the fbi raids are in violation of privacy protection act and we followed up. >> hanukkah back to i don't going to get replies but o'keefe is not a journalist and read the
7:26 pm
statute it doesn't matter to don't personally like james o'keefe or veritas been imagine visiting the organization under trump, by the way trump never rated like the department of justice did most weom had other organizations comes or events, political fbi raid said veritas sparks questio aut press freedom we have the washington st and with the unintentionally ironic batman slogan democracy died in darkness pretty democracy died inarkness and jeff pesos is washington post b they even defended the project average i writing her home when many to protect the journalist reporters comm and course writing letters to the judges signed the warrant and why did you do that and so there was a little help because it seemed to me at least for the briefest moment of time
7:27 pm
some of the right came together ando it was agreements and consensus, you just don't do this in the united states of america the politics of fear will not prevailme in the united states of america there is an overlap here and principles folks are fundamental the public's right to know, which is really what we do at project veritas and i don't know what they're doing at the new york times some except talking project veritas they really were trying to doctor sources with national security orders and golden come i'm going to name them helen goldman were, sitting aside people's homes. trying to docks my sources neither your media from your cnn from your new york times, but here, though the other employees from andrew mitchell nbc news on this reporters committee but were writing to the stretching that you should not do this in the project veritas and that's pretty extraordinary man people
7:28 pm

7:29 pm
figure out, who authorized this read go visit the attorney general was that thedent, is unconstitutional violation of the line for the work o the attorney general of the united states especiaorbids the execution of search warrants against journalists for obvious reasons. also, and i'm kind of going to get towards my conclusion here of the speech, and speaking of the new york times, we have sued them for defamation and we scored a huge victory, defamation lawsuit against the new york times. [applause] [applause] >> so aga, your question is how do we hold them accountab, that is what will nothing other happens to these people, you're looking at an organization that does hold them accountable and we do things in a fight and hit hard to championship prizefighter the we down how
7:30 pm
it's important is that we get backup how we don't stop as of this new york times lawsuit, involved an article written about this. this article was in september of 2020 headline was project veritas releases misleading video, partt of what experts cal a coordinated disinformation campaign i don't know who t thee experts are so this is what they do, rather than address the evidence they just collect some professor at stanford or wherever, the professor sai' yes, is a disinformation and what is that even mean does mean the evidence is not true and it's hard to know because in this tape. [speaking in nativeha tongue] >> it certainly looks like evidence of voter fraud to me enemy there is even would take the people say, where is the voter fraud you're looking at voter fraud enemy is an
7:31 pm
anecdotal piece of voter fraud, but it is in fact a criminal act that you are looking at in minneapolis. for this is recorded in this recording, you actually see it in the act and you see a valid voter give money to a voter in exchange for a valid. that is a federal felony and okay, there is indeed fraud obviously there's going to be fraud various places and weis released this new york times attacks me as a disinformation expert. it is definitely hard to digest and one of the things they run this article was project veritas, making claims without evidence. i haven't made any claims, i made no claims i am just showing you a video recording of an interaction between two people.
7:32 pm
but this is actually what they do, they write these and you say will why is this well this is what they do. as a result of this, new york times article, as a result of this new york times article, facebook and the video that i just showed you because it's facebook use of the new york times is therere fact checkers. in a circle of propaganda is complete. so what you do about it, we sued the new york times and we scored a victory against them. [applause] [applause] >> this is a recording of cover the words of these are the words from the judge in the supreme court of the state of new york sayit it was the new york times that engaged in disinformation and deception. listen to this. >> the subject of the sectionalf articles call v this video they
7:33 pm
were called deceptive but the dictionary definition says that this disinformation and deceptive provided by defendant's counsel, certainly invited to note that they checked with their opinions and news articles as an outline. >> the injectedin their opinionn a news article that opinion was used by the claimant's. we sued them for defamation the facebook is banning the video. based on an opinion. and think about that, is precisely very disinformation meand misinformation they are projecting onto me as we have to do something here's another clip, on christmas eve on the june judgment because new york times some help they got somehow they got access to my privilege climates neverub the fbi raid te published them at an income of these of the documents written by the attorneys representing me in a lawsuit against the new york times. thiss is science fiction but is
7:34 pm
not science fiction, through life and the judge saying that the new york times presented a relational be publishing the attorney-client document. >> for the record, this is 6391, the 2020 project veritas versus new york times the fact that there are basically two bedrock principles of our republic at issue here freedomh of speech freedom of the press and the attorney-client privilege, two significant bedrock nobody knows hundred we want to live without. >> you correctly put it out we had knowledge on the front that there are two fundamentals bedrock principles of our republic, believe it was language that your order used that are clashing here that would be the first time this recorded me right and thank you. >> it was pretty cool to see the judge go after the new york times. by the way new york times have never been held accountable the likely thinker about the law
7:35 pm
on theor ground nothing was deed out of the new york times and we don't get religion in the are more powerful the government and nothing holds them accountable but we are. this is the judge. >> clip cutbacks connect is the judge in case you media haorganizations, and at times is claiming that it has different status as a news organization. >> the law applies equally to all people involved inn so project veritas will be deposing the name of your time reporters o, on video, asking them questions releasing those deposition videos for the world to see. [applause] [applause] >> and speaking of deposition videos me i have been deposed many times by the way, i like being deposed and you know why, because i have nothing to hide don't release the names of our sources or ou' donors, first minute right and everything else
7:36 pm
pretty much fair game lawsuit by the way, project veritas has never lost a lawsuit, not one. [applause] back. >> that is because we are ethical but they are not ethical by the way, they don't like being deposed of the hate being deposed and i think when they startedd suing me they pursued e a lot, ten years ago, everybody inet effect that i would settle the lawsuit and give up but they quickly realized in the discovery discovery part of a lawsuit, you get to depose them this and under oath deposition 1012 hours sometimes, and you're cross-examining, and winter cross-examining, work within the 2016 election, on behalf of hillary clinton and we did a story and they sued us making
7:37 pm
that i would back down but we eventually in the lawsuit who both in the discovery part, was fascinating c to see how they lt themselves know you will see in a way that words cannot explain, just how devastating the videotape deposition can be against our adversary. >> did you hear the station would, have you been to this bar and who's that. >> does me. >> did you eventually publish a video to echo published a video as events occurred earlier that evening. >> and so you let it out these parts where these first two parts where you and ryan clayton were confronting his mom to
7:38 pm
actually the action.ll >> we are not in the video so your lawyers here andha he will objective for you so what i'm asking you is. >> i disagree with your characterization of my actions that i editedd anything out. >> okay, so i did you do that parts did not make the video. >> and sell, that's called editing. [laughter] [laughter] [background sounds]. >> yes, i know do you understand the importance of the video tape deposition can we start to see the social apathy in the doublethink, the describing he and his doublethink on to change your mind and undermine the moment in the south while this is your journalist. is your new york at times in your hillary clinton operatives, it is allit the same that it's literally about a psychologist so, so not qualified to say this
7:39 pm
but some have described as psycho paths. and i'm just showing of the way, so we intended to depose more people and really our mission is about elimination and it is about and i love this picture describes our vision for the future and everyone wants to know what is next and this is what is next and you're looking at what is next brave people regular honest people working in societies institutions that pose what is i going on and it's going to require sacrifice and that is thehe problem you're gog to have with this and deator said it better than i can give their three things that you can do, number o, you can do something. number two, you can donate to people who do something registered tax deductible andnd exempt nonprofit, charitable organization number three, you

7:51 pm
and if you like it's something in a task and having to push this boulder up the hill again and again and again and baldwin tried to commit suicide at least three times. and published 1972, he has coming off of one of those attempts in trying to make sense of this moment because he is trying in some ways to tell a story that would offer resources for us to imagine how to keep struggling had so i think the way in which i came out of it, is that it is not the end to which we are trying to push the boulder, the values and the actual pushing, to invoke and it is the beautiful struggle itself and that is where the meaning is found because if we think that we have to see the handy, after the precondition or for the better america, we won't make it. >> the fascinating thing about
7:52 pm
john lewis is that he became a kind of a walking monument and he was the kind of anniversary business. they took congressional delegations back every year to selma and if you needed something on an anniversary, he was always there. and is the only figure that i've ever known who could be seen of his great triumphs •-ellipsis all the better should have been about him and yet, he was the most egoists in a self, think that you imagine which is hard to do to have to are suppoo affect programrch names at booktv.org, and if you wanto see more new orleans book festival, search new orleans book festival in the top of the page. >> all right everybody, welcome, welcome to
