Dangerous Rhetoric 123: Kalen Eriksson

For Episode 123, we were joined by Kalen Eriksson, the founder of TriFilm Pictures and former senior creative producer for Project Veritas. Kalen discusses his career trajectory with us, and how he ended up at one of the most controversial and unique undercover journalistic organizations in American history, working closely with its founder, James O'Keefe.

When O'Keefe and the organization parted ways in February 2023, rumors abound of what actually happened and why. This conversation sets the record straight on various claims about what occurred at Project Veritas during Kalen's time there, from both supporters and critics of O'Keefe alike.

Accompanying this interview is a cache of "receipts" backing up Kalen's story and analysis of the situation. This release includes relevant internal communications and a 5+ hour audio recording of the 2/6/23 board of directors meeting that sparked O'Keefe's decision to break with Project Veritas. As Kalen reveals, that meeting, the incident which led to it, and everything which followed was the breaking point of a situation that had been building up for several years.

The file dump also collects together some of the media coverage and remarks by political/social commentators about what happened (most of whom got the story wrong), as well as some BTS photos and videos of Kalen's time at the organization.

Dangerous Rhetoric 122: Tara Faul & Chelly Bouferrache

For Episode 122, we were joined by Tara Faul and Chelly Bouferrache to discuss the situation on the ground in Portland, Oregon, which they have been documenting for many years as native Oregonians.

We discussed their experiences as independent journalists and photographers, including facing threats and being assaulted for holding conservative viewpoints; the political climate; radical activists and criminals; widespread graffiti and human excrement; as well as the homelessness and drug addiction situation, specifically fentanyl. As always, we try and bring a little levity to these incredibly heavy topics.

Chelly appeared on Episode 73 a few years ago, so we also recommend watching that conversation for a more in-depth look at her backstory if you haven’t yet, although some of that is covered here again.

Dangerous Rhetoric 121: Phil Illy & Laura Becker

In this episode we sat down with Laura Becker & Phil Illy after a picture of the pair went viral after radical feminist queen Kellie Jay Keen shared the image with some outrage bait. Hours long spaces, strong condemnations, and accusations of predatory behavior against Phil were the result. We discuss the incident, the fallout, and what being an AGP means to Phil.

Dangerous Rhetoric 120: Katelyn Kopenhaver

Given the recently unredacted Epstein documents, we had to have Katelyn back on to discuss the situation. Katelyn's been on the show before, and we discussed her art which includes a banner that reads "Epstein is the worst kind of virus." We got into the Epstein affair, his connections to politicians and famous billionaires, as well as the not-quite revelations from the recently published documents.

Dangerous Rhetoric 115: Daniela de Paulis

Daniela is an interdisciplinary artist who is the primary force behind A Sign From Space, a new project designed to simulate receiving a signal from outer space. Through her initial passion for dance, she's learned to coordinate and choreograph a new type of dance where artists, scientists, and laypeople from around the world work together to decipher an artificial 'alien' signal coming from a European satellite in orbit around Mars. We had a wonderful conversation about art, space, science, UFOs (UAPs), sci-fi, Philip K Dick, aliens, and how the inspiration that motivates artists and scientists is the same.

Dangerous Rhetoric 114: Dansplaining

From man-made chest milk potentially fed to an innocent baby, to Zerg, Protoss, and Terran strategies for Starcraft and our not-so-happy feelings about the Republican party Dansplaining joined us for a romp around the cultural milieu. Give us money, by the way, we're all poor grifters.

The amazing cartoonist and culture aficionado George Alexopoulos joins us to discuss romance novels, culture, anime, and his recent challenge to conservative commentator Matt Walsh to debate the value of video games, cartoons, and anime. George also has a new project in collaboration with the Great @TheRageaholic called The Ghost of the Badlands, a new graphic novel with George doing all the visuals. We talk about the new book, George's children's book, Goofberry Pie, and crack a lot of jokes (mostly at the expense of people who enjoy Fifty Shades of Garbage).

Dangerous Rhetoric 112: Disaffected & Christopher-Aaron Felker

For this episode, we were joined by Joshua Slocum and Kevin Hurley of the @DisaffectedPodcast along with their friend and elected head of the Burlington GOP, Christopher-Aaron Felker. We did a deep dive into Stepford Vermont, aka Burlington, which is a center of wokeness and uniform hive-mind mentality. The city has been the battleground for a stickering campaign that residents say is 'transphobic' and puts children "at risk." The stickers say innocuous things like "no one is born in the wrong body," which naturally drives leftists insane. Laugh along with us as we joke around and make light of a very dark subject: the sterilization and mutilation of minors.

Dangerous Rhetoric 111: Theo Jordan

Theo is a father and brilliant writer - famous for his detailed and nuanced Twitter threads where he outlines all the dirty details the powers that be don't want you to know. From the truth about the coof and big pharma's special injectible sauce to the gender wars, Theo's insight into recent history put him on our Radar over a year ago. Now, he's ready to start talking a little more publicly about these issues. He's staying anon face-wise for now, so you'll just have to enjoy the supernova.

Dangerous Rhetoric 110: Amy E. Sousa

Amy is a women's rights organizer and embodiment expert who has been fighting against the gender-bending craze for years. We spoke about the trend of transitioning minor children and the invasion of women's spaces, sports, and identities by men, through the lens of embodiment. Embodiment is "being in your body" and being comfortable with it. When people have problems with this, it's almost always (SHOCKER!) the result of trauma.

Dangerous Rhetoric 109: Storm Robinson

Storm Robinson was just your average based gay who works an office job until he decided to speak his mind on the internet. Storm has been banned from Twitter, doxxed, harassed, and threatened because he lives in LA and doesn't like the gender-bending of minors. His recent trek out onto the streets of LA during the Trans Day Of Whatever allowed him to get a lot of footage while also being stalked and harassed by local leftists. At one point, he was forcibly detained by weirdos who blocked his path and wouldn't let him move. We talked about his adventures in LA as well as the general trend of gender-bending amongst the youth.

Dangerous Rhetoric 108: Billboard Chris

Billboard Chris and Kevin from Disaffected Podcast joined us for this special episode in a real TV studio. Chris joins us to discuss his recent assault in Vancouver, BC, Canada and the completely feckless response by officers who seemed to think it was "mutual combat" because Chris was in public saying things some people didn't like. Kevin was kind enough to allow us to use his studio space and produce the video.

Dangerous Rhetoric 106: Aaron M. Stevenson

Episode 106 dives deeper into the subject of child trafficking we discussed in 105 with Tara Rodas who volunteered for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) but from the perspective of a whistleblower who saw the same problem from another angle as a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) insider serving as an Intelligence Research Specialist for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Aaron M. Stevenson blew the whistle to Project Veritas on major changes in policy regarding migrants crossing the border: the shifting of the adjudicative authority of defensive asylum away from immigration judges and giving it to asylum officers instead. Aaron also saw evidence that known criminals on TOC (Transnational Organization Crime) watchlists were being permitted to sponsor migrant children, confirming Tara's observations while at the HHS.

Dangerous Rhetoric 105: Tara Lee Rodas

Episode 105 was without a doubt one of our most important conversations. We were joined by Tara Lee Rodas to discuss the heartbreaking subject of government-sponsored, taxpayer-funded trafficking of migrant children after they are smuggled over the border. Tara blew the whistle to Project Veritas in November 2022 on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and their direct facilitation of this problem, and the details are striking.

Dangerous Rhetoric 104: The Return of Lady Starsan

We were blessed to have Lady Starsan join us for the third time. Starsan is a content creator with a focus on the ridiculousness of the 'body-positivity' movement. Her own struggle with weight loss inspires a fierce critique of anyone who dares to suggest fat is beautiful or fat is healthy. We discussed some of her recent videos, battles with the hordes of activists online, Tess Halliday, the joys of pet ownership, state pride, the legal and creative pitfalls of fan art, and much more!
