James O'Keefe: American Muckraker: Rethinking Journalism for the 21st Century

Ойын-сауық

Socrates in the City host Eric Metaxas sits down with investigative journalist James O’Keefe and founder of O'Keefe Media Group, for a conversation on the cost of truth telling. The two discuss many things including the history of whistleblowing, why O’Keefe has hope for the future of journalism, and his recent work with stories that include a fleeing IRS agent, an FBI raid, and getting banned from all Equinox gyms.

    I have been following James O'Keefe since the pimp Acorn Planned Parenthood incident and never stopped. He is a phenomenal journalist and one of the bravest human beings I think I've ever known of! I found Eric metaxas because of watching Socrates in the city when he had John Lennox there a number of years ago but it turns out that Eric is really good friends with my pastor Jack Hibbs from Calvary Chapel Chino Hills so I got to meet Eric at my church 3 years ago where he signed my copy of his book "Fish Out of Water". 4, of my favorite people, easily, are my pastor Jack Hibbs, John Lennox, Eric Metaxas and James O'Keefe!

    Henry David Thoreau wrote: "Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.” And that is the real reason he's being locked away. He is a just man. The man of vigorous mind and stout convictions is gradually shouldered out of public life. This leaves the field to the intellectual jellyfish, to the blank cartridge who has no convictions at all and the mountebank who is willing to conceal and disguise what he actually believes, according as the wind blows hot or cold. ~ HL Mencken You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you -Trotsky (Wall Street's THUG)

    @JamesO'Keefe great talk... Everything else is coffeehouse banter ... Nothing makes a guy hornier then talking about mutating viruses... I better leave that one alone... Smashing your iPad? ... visions of HRC come to mind ...simpletons As a quite man, yet transformed ... to varying degrees ... sometimes, even after 6+ decade ... the Corner Stone still requires a granite grinder, to remove unwanted parts... In mm: 1:02:11 you say: "We are going to shame the devil ... Can we shame the devil?" If you are water ... can you be ashamed of being water? Unlikely. But what can be done, in some cases is shame the devil out of a few... Others, Paul the Apostle said, have sinned so repeatedly [my short hand - their pure tender conscience] have become seared as with a hot iron... The light Greek there refers the idea of "branding cattle" with a hot iron... the devil is assaulting ... manipulating ... intimidating ... spreading fear ... Fear dies where Christ Jesus faith rises and remains... P.S. This man your father, is clearly proud of you - I get that deep felt emotion, written across his face, and as a father of a son... Blessings, David B Justiss

    I just finished watching Edge of Darkness. A movie about a Norwegian village during the nazi occupation who finally resist and rise up and fight and those who survive get free. And it shows the struggles and the different ways they resist. Anyway it really highlights the difference between morality and passivity and courageous brave action. My parents came from Norway and they recognized the direction towards communism and fascism that our us government was going towards and I never believed it could really happen here and my mom especially would get so frustrated with everyone because we being born in America and educated and indoctrinated into the system couldn't see it until around 2008 or so and then President Trump proved it was the policies that were stealing from us and then covid came and my mom refused to comply. She educated the local Walmart in Kingwood az. The doctors and nurses and was upset about the Churches which caved in and closed and she began to teach everyone around us how to resist and speak up. My parents were rooting for you. They're both in heaven now but you're a hero and we need more heroes and thank you for showing us how it's done. You are definitely raised up for such a time as now.
