=== James O'Keefe's Legal Battle (05:33) ===

[00:00:01]  They have been in the news recently for the remarkable, in other words, worthy of a remark, but not worthy of wonder.
[00:00:09]  Nobody was surprised.
[00:00:11]  That a CNN executive acknowledged that they were a propaganda machine for the last four years and for the election and much else, including frightening people for ratings and the like.
[00:00:27]  James O'Keefe had this man speak to someone that this man had been seeing in a situation.
[00:00:37]  James has now been banned from Twitter, they say permanently, and is suing Twitter, among others, and needless to say, I'm with you, James.
[00:00:51]  What exactly will you be doing now?
[00:00:57]  I'm not hearing James, guys.
[00:01:03]  Everything is connected properly, and I'm not hearing James.
[00:01:08]  I feel bad for me.
[00:01:10]  I feel bad for James.
[00:01:14]  The line went dead.
[00:01:18]  We have very problematic lines.
[00:01:23]  Alright, we will get him back.
[00:01:25]  He is suing Twitter.
[00:01:27]  He is suing CNN. I believe the New York Times.
[00:01:32]  What these companies have become is an American form of Pravda, as is clearly the case with CNN and all of them.
[00:01:48]  Journalism has been corrupted.
[00:01:52]  Well, what hasn't, my friends?
[00:01:56]  It is a purely negative force, leftism.
[00:02:02]  So they need to be sued by many people.
[00:02:07]  They even banned the New York Post article on the BLM head who spent $3 million on a few homes.
[00:02:17]  All right, James, I'm sorry about that.
[00:02:20]  I have no control over the world of technology.
[00:02:24]  Well, Dennis, I appreciate you having me on again, and I just want to say that we are filing a Twitter lawsuit today.
[00:02:33]  I was banned on Friday for, quote, making fake accounts, unquote.
[00:02:39]  That's a defamatory statement.
[00:02:41]  And we're filing a lawsuit, probably in New York, literally in a matter of hours from now.
[00:02:46]  And for those of you who think I'm bluffing or just doing this for a publicity stunt, your audience may or may not know.
[00:02:53]  That Project Veritas recently won in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in a defamation action against the New York Times.
[00:03:02]  We're one of only a handful of people who have accomplished this in the last few decades.
[00:03:07]  So that means, Dennis, that we intend to get videotaped discovery into Twitter's operations, since we're already going to be doing that, into the New York Times.
[00:03:17]  And we intend to publish the people under oath.
[00:03:21]  Because, Dennis, there's no other option.
[00:03:23]  We have to go on offense.
[00:03:24]  We have to hold them accountable.
[00:03:25]  They banned me on Twitter because our video exposés of CNN were too true and effective and they needed to get rid of me.
[00:03:33]  And this is just principles that we're fighting for here that are universal.
[00:03:37]  So we're not going to back down.
[00:03:38]  I think that's fantastic.
[00:03:42]  The lawyers, I'm not asking their names, but the lawyers you have, you're confident in.
[00:03:50]  Well, I'll tell you this.
[00:03:52]  If I can tell you the firm, we hired Claire Locke, Libby Locke, one of the best defamation lawyers in the country against the New York Times.
[00:04:00]  And we're hiring Harmeet Dillon, who you all may know in California, who's an expert on Silicon Valley.
[00:04:07]  But they may have immunity under Section 230, but this is not that.
[00:04:12]  This is different.
[00:04:13]  They've made a statement about me.
[00:04:17]  Right, that's right.
[00:04:18]  They're immune if somebody else makes a statement about you, but they're not immune if they make a statement.
[00:04:25]  That's correct.
[00:04:27]  That's correct.
[00:04:28]  And I just want to highlight this because I think it's so important, because I know this is a little in the weeds, but when we sued the New York Times, the justice in New York State put out a 16-page order, and they said it was the New York Times that apparently engaged in disinformation and deception.
[00:04:45]  And you have to remember, these people accuse us of what they do.
[00:04:48]  They're masters of projection.
[00:04:50]  So they may be impersonating things, and I've had people try to impersonate my own employees, which I never do.
[00:04:57]  And I just think it's important for us to do something about the problems in society.
[00:05:02]  We have to actually fight them.
[00:05:04]  The only way that I know how is through the country's libel laws.
[00:05:07]  You do have a recourse under...
[00:05:10]  Defamation law.
[00:05:11]  You can go after these people when they intentionally lie about you.
[00:05:14]  You just can't do that.
[00:05:16]  So, Dennis, I'm not bluffing.
[00:05:17]  No, no, no.

=== Five Minutes Left (00:17) ===

[00:05:19]  You're one of those who fight on the good side.
[00:05:24]  You're not the typical guy on our side.
[00:05:28]  Listen, I don't know if you have time or not.
[00:05:30]  Do you?
[00:05:32]  I have another five minutes or so.
[00:05:35]  Okay, because, well, I've got to take a commercial break.
