<p>Former Project Veritas CEO James O&#8217;Keefe sat down with Ben Shapiro on this week&#8217;s episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-137-james-o-keefe">The Sunday Special</a>,&#8221; discussing how he plans on outsourcing undercover operatives equipped with hidden cameras in order to decentralize journalism.</p>
<p>&#8220;What I&#8217;m trying to do is get information into the hands of the citizens so that they make the best decisions to elect the right representatives,” O&#8217;Keefe said. &#8220;I actually believe that if people had any idea what was actually going on — in the three letter agencies and the schools — then they would be rightfully outraged.&#8221;</p>
<p>O&#8217;Keefe announced his resignation from Project Veritas last month after a conflict with the board of directors from the investigative journalism group he founded over ten years ago. Weeks after the company ousted the guerrilla journalist, he launched O&#8217;Keefe Media Group, a new business venture promising to be surrounded by &#8220;the most elite journalists in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>His ouster from the company came after the group broke a story in which Pfizer&#8217;s Director of Research and Development admitted the pharmaceutical company was apparently conducting “directed evolution” research on SARS-CoV-2.</p>
<p>Project Veritas&#8217; board of directors said they wanted to fix things with O&#8217;Keefe, but he would not have contact with them after an incident unfolded in February. The board of directors alleged that O&#8217;Keefe misspent large sums of donor money and that he broke the organization&#8217;s bylaws with his actions.</p>
<p>&#8220;I never really figured out what exactly happened, but it&#8217;s important for me to continue my mission,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>That mission with the new media group, O&#8217;Keefe said, involves &#8220;getting little cameras into the hands of 1000s of people and helping everyone be a journalist.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The mission is to teach people about journalism ethics … technology … and recording laws in various states — I intend to open-source all of that on the website,&#8221; he said, which has not yet become available to the public.</p>

<p>Under O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s leadership, Project Veritas broke several major stories through sting operations and whistleblowers — a style of journalism that critics have called deceptive.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Keefe, on the other hand, decried much of the criticism, which supporters of the abrasive form of journalism say is only viewed as controversial when it doesn&#8217;t support left-wing purposes.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not about the methods,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s about whose ox you&#8217;re perceived to be goring — it&#8217;s all about politics, and it&#8217;s all about power.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to teach people how to do it themselves so that I don&#8217;t have to curate it,&#8221; he said at the time of the O’Keefe Media Group announcement. &#8220;And if that vision comes to life, I think that could change the world.&#8221;</p>
