The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">trans</a>-identifying <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a> creator who spurred the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral trend</a> of saying “very demure” is now upset that someone else trademarked the saying first.
Jools Lebron started posting clips featuring the “very demure, very mindful, very cutesy” narration that’s taken social media by storm. Big-name celebrities have gotten on board, and even the White House tested out the phrase.
“Cancelling [sic] the student debt of nearly 5 million Americans through various actions. Very mindful. Very demure,” an X post <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/very-demure-tiktoker-says-earnings-will-finance-transition-then-the-white-house-jumps-on-the-bandwagon">shared</a> on August 16 said alongside a smiling photo of President Joe Biden.
Lebron, a biological man, has since racked up more than 2 million followers and said any earnings would be used for his &#8220;transition&#8221; surgery.
“I was playing cashier and making videos on my break, and now I’m flying across the country to host events, and I’m going to be able to finance the rest of my transition,” Lebron said in response to detractors.
Now the TikTok influencer is upset that a man named Jefferson Bates filed an application in Washington to trademark the expression, “Very Demure .. Very Mindful …,” per <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/very-demure-tiktok-creator-jools-lebron-didnt-rademark-phrase-rcna168144">NBC News</a>.

Lebron posted about the situation in a now-deleted update shared on social media. “I wanted to do so much for my family and provide for my transition, and I just feel like I dropped the ball,” Lebron said over the weekend. 
This spurred another person, Raluca Pop, to file for a trademark to one of Lebron’s other phrases, “Very Demure Very Cutesy.” Pop did this with the intention of transferring it to Lebron at a later date.  
NBC noted that both Pop and Bates’ applications are still pending.
Pop reportedly saw Lebron as “the one that created it and popularized [the phrase]. Like, she should be the one to reap the benefits.” 
Pop added, “And once I saw that this other guy tried to steal it out from under her, I realized that he didn’t trademark the remainder of her phrase, ‘very cutesy.’ And that’s when I went and I did it, instead.”
On Tuesday Lebron posted on TikTok again about the situation, saying only that it was “handled” and that there was a “team” of people dealing with it.

Celebrities from Jennifer Lopez to Reese Witherspoon have used the phrase “very demure” to promote current projects. Lebron has also partnered with brands like Verizon and Lyft and appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last week.
The original clip was shared on TikTok in early August. It shows Lebron applying makeup while narrating the process.
“You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. See how I look very presentable? A lot of you girls go to the interview, looking like Marge Simpson, and go to the job looking like Patty and Selma, not demure,” Lebron <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-does-demure-tiktok-trend-jools-lebron-mean/">said</a>.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">trans–identifying</a> creator of the viral <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a> trend “very demure” said all the attention and new followers will be used to help <a href="https://ca.style.yahoo.com/demure-tiktok-creator-now-afford-105559240.html">fund</a> his “transition” surgery. 
Jools Lebron, a biological man, is credited with starting the new trend of calling certain actions “demure.” Lebron’s social media videos have gone <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral</a>, with celebrity X accounts and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house">White House</a> jumping on the &#8220;very demure&#8221; bandwagon. 
The original clip was shared on TikTok in early August. It shows Lebron putting on makeup while narrating the process.
&#8220;You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful. I don&#8217;t do too much. I&#8217;m very mindful while I&#8217;m at work. See how I look very presentable?

Another activity the TikTok influencer described as “demure” included staying seated after an airplane lands.

The &#8220;demure&#8221; trend got so popular that Lebron posted a video about it, posting a reaction to negative commenters last week, “Hey bandeja, maybe you should — maybe you should make the videos. Maybe you should make the videos, because one day, I was playing cashier and making videos on my break, and now I’m flying across the country to host events, and I’m going to be able to finance the rest of my transition.”
The influencer also <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@joolieannie/video/7403953112211311918?lang=en">celebrated</a> the official White House X account using the “demure” wording to promote policy.
“Cancelling [sic] the student debt of nearly 5 million Americans through various actions. Very mindful. Very demure,” the X post said alongside a smiling photo of President Joe Biden.

Lebron <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-does-demure-tiktok-trend-jools-lebron-mean/">spoke with</a> CBS Mornings about the definition of demure.
&#8220;Your demure is what it means to you. It&#8217;s being mindful and considerate of the people around you, but also of yourself and how you present to the world,&#8221; the influencer said. &#8220;When I did start making TikToks, I found more girls like me. I found girls who are plus size who are trans, who are having the same experiences that come uniquely with that set of combinations.”
Lebron concluded, &#8220;Your demure is what it means to you. It&#8217;s being mindful and considerate of the people around you, but also of yourself and how you present to the world.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Country star</a> Zach Bryan invited the now infamous “Hawk Tuah” girl, who went <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">viral</a> for an on-the-street interview she did, onto the stage during a show at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday.
The 28-year-old country star surprised the crowd when he invited the internet sensation on stage as he was singing the encore song, “Revival,” per <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/zach-bryan-hawk-tuah-girl-nashville-concert-video-1235720973/">Billboard</a>. Bryan is currently on his Quittin Time Tour.
“Hawk Tuah” girl has been identified as Hailey Welch, 23, who became massively popular on social media for giving her thoughts on what men desired during sex. 
“You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!” she said in a clip that has been circulating online. She made the comments during an interview with the creators of Tim &amp; Dee TV.
Welch was wearing a cowboy hat and white boots at Bryan’s show. She carried a drink onto the stage and delivered a “hawk tua!” to the assembled crowd. 
Kacey Musgraves also guest-starred during the same show. She and Bryan performed their song, “I Remember Everything,” together. 
Hawk Tuah merchandise has become available from Fathead Threads, a family-owned business based in Marshall County, Tennessee, according to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/hawk-tuah-girl-merch-viral-video-1235047145/">Rolling Stone</a>. 
“Of course she hasn’t gotten a dime from the first viral video that went out,” brand owner Jason Poteete, who knew Welch prior to her going viral, told the outlet. “Nobody was asking permission for her to do nothing, neither. I just wanted her to get some profit off of this deal.”
“There are some crazy people in the world who’ve reached out to her,” he added. “She’s probably one of the most well-known people in the world at this point. But I don’t know if she’s embraced it.”
Rolling Stone calculated that based on sales figures provided, about $65,000 worth of merchandise had been sold so far. 
“It could be a blessing or a curse,” Poteete told the outlet. “She may be in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time. [But] I think she’ll do fine in the end.”
He added, “She has a bubbly personality. She can be somewhat risque. You never know what she’s gonna say. I just think the world needed a laugh, and she provided that.”

A dramatic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video">video</a> shows a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/animals">giraffe</a> lifting a toddler out of the family vehicle while they were going through a drive-thru safari. 
The incident occurred when the family was visiting Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas">Texas</a>. The family says they were feeding a giraffe from the bed of their pickup truck when the animal accidentally grabbed their 2-year-old daughter Paisley&#8217;s shirt, per <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/living/story/giraffe-lifts-toddler-air-safari-drive-110873738">Good Morning America</a>.
Videos of the incident were captured by Paisley’s mom Sierra Robert and other bystanders in line at the safari.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;By the time I, like, looked back over, she was gone,&#8221; Robert told GMA. &#8220;It was just really shock, you know, adrenaline sets in.&#8221;
Paisley’s father Jason Toten also saw what happened from the driver’s seat. He said he believes the whole thing was an accident as the animal was just trying to get the food being offered, which was allowed by the venue. 
“Paisley was holding the bag and the giraffe went to go get the bag, not get her, but ended up getting her shirt too and picking her up,” the father told <a href="https://www.kwtx.com/2024/06/03/my-heart-stopped-fossil-rim-giraffe-accidentally-picks-up-toddler-during-drive-thru-safari/">KWTX</a>. “My heart stopped, my stomach dropped… it scared me.”
The giraffe released the toddler quickly and she fell into her mother’s arms uninjured, as multiple outlets reported. 
Per Fossil Rim Wildlife Center rules, giraffes are the only animals visitors are allowed to feed.
&#8220;Only giraffes can be fed by hand. This is for your safety, as animals besides giraffe[s] can bite,” the website <a href="https://fossilrim.org/road-rules/">says</a>.
Toten said Paisley later got a stuffed giraffe from the gift shop because she “deserved it.” 
The incident has prompted the safari to change some of their rules. As of June 6, &#8220;guests are no longer permitted to ride in the bed of pickup trucks,&#8221; the website says. 
Fossil Rim Wildlife Center issued a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/giraffe-lifts-toddler-air-safari-drive/story?id=110873738">statement</a> to ABC News on Wednesday regarding the incident.
&#8220;We were recently made aware of an incident involving one of our giraffes that occurred this past weekend,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;The incident was first reported to us on Monday June 3rd. The safety of our guests and animals is always of utmost importance to us. Although an incident like this has never occurred here previously, we are taking immediate action to make sure it won&#8217;t happen again.&#8221;

A woman went viral on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a> after posting a 50-part series documenting the downfall of her marriage. 
The entire saga is broken down into ten-minute segments, which social media users said they’re binge-watching like a TV show. The TikTok user, Reesa Teesa, racked up more than 122 million views on the “Who TF Did I Marry?” <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@reesamteesa?lang=en">series</a>. Each video clip has over one million views.
Reesa Teesa began the series by explaining how she met her ex-husband on a dating app. She identifies the man only as “Legion,” referring to a man possessed by demons in the Bible. Teesa explains how she got close to Legion during the COVID pandemic, leading to them moving in together and her becoming pregnant (though she said she later had a miscarriage). But after some time, Teesa said she began exposing many of her ex-husband’s lies.
Teesa said she posted the 50-part series so viewers could listen to her experience “like an audiobook,” per a report from <a href="https://time.com/6696963/who-tf-did-i-marry-tiktok-series/">Time</a>. 
“You can listen to all the times I made bad decisions, you can clearly listen to the good, the bad, the ugly, the embarrassing,” she said in a video posted Wednesday. “But most importantly, the redemption and the forgiveness that I am trying and learning to give myself. All in all, do not be dismayed that it is 50 parts.”
The first video in the series has 22.8 million views. Teesa has 2.3 million followers on the platform, thanks to the popularity of the series.
Teesa claimed that Legion lied about his job, employment history, finances, and family. She said she later found out that his family didn’t speak to him because of him being a pathological liar. Teesa called her ex “the United Nations of red flags.”
After the videos went viral, one viewer discovered the identity of her ex-husband, per Time. But Teesa said during a TikTok Live that she contacted that person and asked to have the information deleted. She said she didn’t plan to speak to her ex ever again.

TikTok users love Teesa’s videos despite the time commitment it took to hear her whole story. One popular user comment addressed this phenomenon, which is unique compared to most short TikTok content. That user <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@reesamteesa/video/7338058381124488490?lang=en">said</a> Teesa “gave us our attention span back.” 
Many commentators are calling for the saga to be turned into a movie, which is what happened to a 2015 Twitter thread that went viral and eventually became the basis for the 2020 film “Zola.”

A China zoo insists that its bears are real after people claimed one was nothing more than a person dressed in a costume in a video that went viral.
Images surfaced over the weekend from a zoo in the eastern province of Zhejiang showing a sun bear standing on its hind legs and looking very humanlike from behind, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/sun-bears-zoo-china-denies-humans-costume-rcna97477" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> reported.
&#8220;Some people think I stand like a human, and it seems that you don&#8217;t understand me that much,&#8221; Hangzhou Zoo wrote on its official social media account from the perspective of the bear in the video, named Angela.
&#8220;Previously, some tourists thought that I was too tiny to be a bear,&#8221; the message added. &#8220;I have to emphasize again: I am a Malayan sun bear! Not a black bear! Not a dog! A sun bear!&#8221;

The video blew up after the 15-second clip was posted on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, on July 27, NBC News noted. In the clip,  the sun bear is seen standing on its hind legs for a very long time, with what many viewers thought looked similar to a human in a costume wearing baggy pants.
The bear interacts with the tourists in the footage, as it almost appeared to raise a paw and wave at one point. The bear then sits down before walking away on all four paws.

A viral video using animation from 3D modelling software shows how the Titan submersible imploded.
The Titan submersible submerged on June 18, quickly losing communications with its support vessel. Passengers Hamish Harding, 58, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman Dawood, 19, as well as French Navy pilot Paul-Henry (PH) Nargeolet and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush perished in the tragedy.
The video, published on the YouTube account AiTelly , explains that Titan&#8217;s carbon fiber construction was insufficient to deal with the pressures of the deep ocean.
“In the case of the Titan submersible, the implosion was caused due to very high hydro-static pressure of the surrounding water, which happened in a fraction of a millisecond,” the video states.
“At the depth the Titanic rests, there’s around 5,600 pounds per square inch of pressure (PSI). That’s almost 400 times the pressure we experience on the surface. &#8230; When this force becomes larger than the force hull can withstand, the vessel implodes violently,” the narration continues.
“Existing technology is based on steel, titanium and aluminium. &#8230; But the Titian has had an experimental design; it used mostly carbon fibers, which have the advantage of being lighter than titanium or steel,” the video narrates.
The animators show what the inside of the sub would have looked like, how the joysticks directing the vessel worked, and how the thrusters powered the vessel underwater.
To indicate the small size of the vessel, they show its size next to a full-grown man and a small SUV.

Within a week after the tragedy, Superintendent Kent Osmond of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police <a href="//D3B6ACAB-EF06-4359-8B00-512CDBBE9149/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that an investigation would be launched to determine whether a criminal investigation would be warranted.
“Such an investigation will proceed only if our examination of the circumstances indicate criminal, federal or provincial laws may possibly have been broken,” he said. ”Following the US Coast Guard&#8217;s announcement earlier this week that debris from the submersible was located and all five on board were presumed dead, we will now look at the circumstances that led to those deaths. Our investigators are engaged and active in this matter as of this morning. Once a determination has been made as to whether or not a full investigation will be launched, we will provide an update at that time.”

“Disney is just an LGBT activist organization at this point,” another commenter <a href="https://twitter.com/dekach1n/status/1663525260254416898" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. “Any sane company would have backed down by now.

Another viewer <a href="https://twitter.com/afewcrayons/status/1663511430857932802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">echoed</a>, “This is disturbing and sick. You are vile.”
Disney Parks updated its uniform policy in 2021 to allow employees, or as they’re referred to in the park, “cast members,” to wear gendered clothing of their preference regardless of their biological sex.

&#8220;We want our guests to see their own backgrounds and traditions reflected in the stories, experiences and products they encounter in their interactions with Disney,&#8221; a Disney official said in a <a href="https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/04/a-place-where-everyone-is-welcome/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> at the time. &#8220;And we want our cast members — and future cast members — to feel a sense of belonging at work.&#8221;
Other changes to the dress code included that cast members no longer had to cover their tattoos if appropriate, and men were permitted to wear nail polish.
“Inclusion is essential to our culture and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling, exceptional service, and Disney magic,” the statement continued. 
“Our new approach provides greater flexibility with respect to forms of personal expression surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices; and allowing appropriate visible tattoos. We’re updating them to not only remain relevant in today’s workplace, but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work.”

Shocking <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/viral-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kids-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youth wrestler</a> getting sucker punched after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrestling match</a> in Illinois started making the rounds on social media this week.
The incident took place at the &#8220;Beat The Streets&#8221; tournament on April 8 at Oak Park River Forest High School in Oak Park, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illinois" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois</a>, per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/04/18/wrestler-sucker-punch-match-illinois-oak-park-police-investigation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>.
This <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wrestling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrestling</a> tournament included athletes from ages 8 to 18. A video from the event, which just started making headlines, shows an 8th-grader from SPAR Wrestling Academy and his opponent from Maine West High School finishing up on the mat during a 125-128 pound freestyle third-place match. The SPAR wrestler won in a 14-2 decision.
But just before the competitors were meant to shake hands, the losing athlete suddenly sucker-punched the winner in the head. The SPAR wrestler instantly crumpled to the floor as onlookers rushed to his side. One woman could be heard screaming, “What the f***! Oh my God” as she rushed over.

&#8220;He is making the best of the situation and is already back to training,&#8221; SPAR Wrestling Academy founder Justin Pearch told TMZ Tuesday.
&#8220;As you may know, wrestling matches can get heated but nothing leading up to the punch would give cause to such bad decision-making on the opponent&#8217;s part,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It’s not tolerated in our sport and SPAR Wrestling will never condone that behavior.”

An Oak Park Police Department spokesperson said the incident is under investigation and that the parents of both minors are cooperating. The victim&#8217;s parents have reportedly filed assault charges, according to Pat Mineo of The Wrestling Room.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a>-based groom is getting trashed online for his vulgar, unorthodox <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wedding vows</a>, which were originally posted on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> by photographer Jonathan Pajak.
The video clip has since gone viral on multiple platforms, with many commenters urging the bride, Destiny Lentini, to stay far away from her new husband, Michael Lentini.
The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lensculture/video/7213151238878154026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok video</a> now has racked up 23.5 million views. In it, Pajak sets the scene by saying he asked the groom if there was anything he wanted to say to his future bride. “I hope we have a lot of sex. A lot,” Michael replied.
The photographer also shared a clip of the couple reading their vows to each other as the groom’s mother officiated. Michael began his speech by saying, “You&#8217;re screwed.”
“Only two things are required to keep me happy. Keep my belly full and my balls empty,” the groom told his new bride in front of their gathered guests. “Although you&#8217;re amazing at half of it, we really need to get you some cooking lessons.”
“Even when my belly isn&#8217;t full there is no one I could love more in this lifetime unless I actually get a chance to meet Margot Robbie,” Michael continued.
“Since the beginning I was always told life gets even better when the kids fall asleep and you tell me to come to the bedroom. Nothing is better than the sound of gagging and headboard slamming.”
At that point the mother of the groom said his name as chastisement, but Michael forged on. “PS, since you&#8217;re so good at making decisions like marrying me, you can choose whether tonight&#8217;s going to end with being a toaster strudel or a Twinkie.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Commenters were completely appalled by the groom’s speech.
“My jaw was on the FLOOR&#8230; is this real? Immediately no,” one person said.
“I&#8217;d leave him at the aisle. Saying that with just me and him is already sad/disappointing but IN FRONT OF MY FAMILY? Mortified and ashamed,” another reaction said.
After the clip went viral, Destiny released a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@destiny010513/video/7213566130101783851" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> of her own defending her husband’s “humor.”
“&#8230;Yes I&#8217;m happy, yes I&#8217;m still married, yes I loved my wedding, and there is nothing that I would have changed,” she insisted. “I loved his vows, I loved my vows, I loved our wedding day.”
“His vows showed a piece of his personality which is the humor side &#8211; which is definitely Michael,” she added, saying Michael is “too good” for her. 
“You guys don&#8217;t truly know him so you don&#8217;t understand why or where I&#8217;m coming from when I say that,” Destiny concluded.

In a shocking development, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-okeefe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James O’Keefe</a> announced last week that he was out at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/project-veritas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project Veritas</a>, the investigative journalism group he founded over 10 years ago, after a conflict with the group’s board of directors. 
Under O’Keefe’s leadership, the group has taken on the biggest names in politics, journalism, tech, and healthcare, with a unique style of undercover videos and work with whistleblowers, all while earning the ire of the legacy media.
Project Veritas was officially launched by O’Keefe in 2011 as a non-profit organization with the goal of exposing corruption in public and private institutions. Since that time it has broken many major stories and shifted the narrative, from <a href="https://patch.com/new-hampshire/concord-nh/new-hampshire-attorney-general-we-will-do-better-voter-fraud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">influencing</a> election <a href="https://archive.ph/BJM18" target="_blank" rel="noopener">integrity</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Hampshire</a> to embarrassing CNN over its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-director-network-trying-to-help-blm-shootings-lose-a-little-steam-if-suspect-is-not-white" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coverage</a> of race. 
While some critics have labeled the style of Project Veritas’ work deceptive, much of the content revealed through the sting operations would not be known by following the traditional question-and-answer mode of journalism.
Here are five of the biggest stories put out by Project Veritas during O’Keefe’s tenure.
<h2>ACORN</h2>
The first major break for O’Keefe came with undercover videos filmed of activist group ACORN during the Obama administration. While the <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/investigation/acorn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ACORN story</a> was released before Project Veritas was officially created, it shot O’Keefe to prominence and offered a preview of the kind of journalism O’Keefe and his team would follow.
In 2009, O’Keefe and Hannah Giles <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/story/acorn-officials-videotaped-telling-pimp-prostitute-how-to-lie-to-irs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went</a> into ACORN [Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now] offices and posed as a pimp and a prostitute. According to the videos put out by O’Keefe, ACORN staffers appeared to offer O’Keefe advice on how to avoid scrutiny of the IRS while running a brothel and discuss sex trafficking. 
The story exploded with a spokesman for the group calling the portrayal “false and defamatory.” Even President Obama <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/20/AR2009092002313.html">weighed</a> in, calling the actions in the video “inappropriate” and worthy of investigation. 
While an outside probe later <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2009/12/acorn_workers_cleared_of_illeg.html/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cleared</a> ACORN of illegal activity, the videos did lead to concrete action with Congress cutting funding for the group, and the IRS and the Census Bureau <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/12/us/politics/12acorn.html?_r=2&amp;scp=14&amp;sq=acorn&amp;st=cse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropping</a> their relationship with the activist organization. 
In the end, the group <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/23/us/23acorn.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">closed down</a> in 2010, just months after O’Keefe’s investigation.
<h2>Hillary Clinton Campaign Story</h2>
During the vicious 2016 presidential campaign, Project Veritas put out several major videos, taken from groups associated with the Clinton campaign, that appeared to show Democrat operatives discussing their strategies to provoke violence at Trump rallies and other ethically dubious campaign tactics. 
For example, Democrat operative Scott Foval said in the videos that there was a “script” put out at Trump events to attempt to get the “crazies” to “bite.”
&#8220;It is not hard to get some of these assholes to pop off,&#8221; Foval <a href="https://www.npr.org/2016/10/19/498587397/sting-video-purports-to-show-democrats-describing-how-to-commit-voter-fraud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s a matter of showing up to want to get into the rally in a Planned Parenthood T-shirt, or &#8216;Trump is a Nazi,&#8217; you know. You can message to draw them out, and draw them to punch you.&#8221;
Both Foval and Democrat activist Robert Cramer ended up <a href="https://archive.ph/SJjS0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing their</a> jobs as a result of the videos, though both claimed that their comments were taken out of context.
<h2>Google And Political Bias</h2>
In July 2019, Project Veritas released <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/google-takes-action-against-whistleblower-who-james-barrett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a video</a> of Greg Coppola, a senior Google engineer, saying that the tech giant designed its algorithms in a way that was biased against conservatives. 
“I’ve been coding since I was ten [years old],” Coppola told Project Veritas in the interview. “I have a PhD, I have five years’ experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don’t write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do.”
“I think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral,” Coppola <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/google-takes-action-against-whistleblower-who-james-barrett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in the video. “Now we have tech that really, first of all is taking sides in a political contest, which I think, you know, anytime you have big corporate power merging with political parties can be dangerous.”
Google has consistently maintained that it is politically neutral, but many conservatives remain unconvinced. 
According to Coppola, the crackdown by tech companies on conservative viewpoints began with the rise of Trump. Since Coppola’s comments, the battle between tech and conservatives has only grown fiercer. 
<h2>ABC Drops Interview With Jeffrey Epstein Accuser</h2>
One of the most explosive Project Veritas stories came in 2019, with the publication of a video obtained from an ABC insider showing host Amy Robach discussing her frustration that the network killed a story she wanted to do with an accuser of pedophile billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jeffrey-epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffrey Epstein</a>.
“I had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air. First of all, I was told, ‘Who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story. Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate and Will that we, that also quashed the story,” Robach said in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lfwkTsJGYA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a>.
She said that they had photos to back up the claims. “It was unbelievable what we had. Clinton. We had everything. I tried for three years to get it on to no avail and now it is all coming out and it is like these new revelations and I freaking had all of it,” Robach added.
The network later <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/breaking-abc-news-and-amy-robach-respond-to-project-veritas-bombshell-epsteincoverup-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the material they had did not meet its editorial standards, but the video raised questions about media coverage of Epstein, who was often seen with the rich and famous before his arrest and subsequent death in jail.
<h2>Pfizer And The COVID &#8216;Cash Cow&#8217;</h2>
In January, Project Veritas put out a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pfizer-denies-conducting-covid-gain-of-function-research-in-delayed-response-to-veritas-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bombshell video</a> of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pfizer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pfizer</a> official appearing to describe either proposed or ongoing experiments by the pharmaceutical firm. The video, which quickly racked up millions of views, shows Pfizer’s director of research and development, Jordan Walker, divulging that the company has considered mutating COVID through “directed evolution” in monkeys to develop new vaccines.
The video quickly raised questions about what kind of research Pfizer was conducting, and its view of the pandemic with Walker referring to COVID as a potential “cash cow” for years to come. 
Days after the video, Pfizer denied that it was conducting gain-of-function style research on COVID, but many remained skeptical. Project Veritas <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pfizer-exec-appears-to-admit-there-are-concerning-impacts-on-female-reproductive-health-from-vaccine-in-round-two-of-project-veritas-sting">later released</a> a video where Walker appeared to admit that Pfizer was aware of potential side effects of the vaccine on women’s fertility. 
The Pfizer videos were representative of the work of Project Veritas during O’Keefe’s era: an undercover sting of one of the most powerful companies in America that few would dare attempt. 
The group&#8217;s tactics and targeting of powerful entities found it in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/journalism-is-on-trial-project-veritas-ordered-to-pay-democratic-consulting-firm-over-2016-sting-operation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crosshairs</a> of corporations, nonprofits, Democrat operatives, the legacy media, and even the federal government. In November 2021, O’Keefe’s home was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/06/us/politics/james-okeefe-project-veritas-ashley-biden.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raided</a> by the FBI in connection with a stolen diary reportedly belonging to Ashley Biden.
O’Keefe’s ability to continue putting out narrative-shifting videos is part of what made it so shocking when he announced he was out at the company last week. The board accused him of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/project-veritas-releases-statement-on-why-james-okeefe-was-removed-from-company" target="_blank" rel="noopener">financial mismanagement</a> and some of the group&#8217;s employees had accused him of poor behavior. Many of the group&#8217;s former whistleblowers, however, have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-project-veritas-whistleblowers-speak-out-in-support-of-james-okeefe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">come out in support</a> of O’Keefe, through both videos and letters. 
While O’Keefe may be done with Project Veritas, he is not done with investigative journalism, already hinting at forming a new organization. 
“Our mission continues on. I’m not done,” he said in a recent video. “The mission will perhaps take on a new name.”

A viral video shows what appears to be an explosion rocking the skies over southeastern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/montana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Montana</a>.
The video, posted to Twitter by Billings, Montana, resident Dolly Moore, shows the aftermath of the explosion. A large smoke trail can be seen falling downward across the sky. Officials in the state have denied reports of an explosion, but the video has garnered more than 2 million views on Twitter in a little over four hours. In an interview with The Daily Wire, Mrs. Moore said she began recording when she saw a plane, then an explosion.
&#8220;I just started snapping pictures with my phone when I saw the plane fly over,&#8221; Moore told The Daily Wire over the phone. &#8220;It shook my office window.&#8221;
Officials have denied reports of an explosion, however. &#8220;We are aware of the video shared on Twitter and claims of a &#8216;massive explosion&#8217; over Billings,&#8221; the <a href="https://twitter.com/BillingsMT/status/1621686031694311424?s=20&amp;t=Jvig1wNy9Y6XmdLQMW87vw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">city of Billings</a> tweeted Friday night. &#8220;However, our PD, Fire &amp; airport have NOT been called to any incidents related to this video and there haven’t been any plane crashes picked up on radar.&#8221;
Moore said that she saw the plane fly over her house. She then ran to her office window and began filming. Shortly afterward, she says she saw a large explosion. She then began recording. In the video, an object descends from the sky very slowly, while a large, long smoke trail follows behind.

Moore said the object moved slowly down, like nothing she had ever seen. &#8220;I remember in middle school when I saw the [Space Shuttle] Challenger explosion,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Debris went everywhere. This was not like that. There was one big object, like a mushroom in the sky, but very slowly coming down.&#8221;
&#8220;You know when you see a plane crash on TV and it&#8217;s all going very fast? This was not like that,&#8221; she added.
She also reported seeing jet fighters flying over her home two nights earlier. She also reported seeing Blackhawk helicopters flying over the area. As of 10:58 p.m. EST Friday night, the aircraft flight tracking website <a href="https://mobile.flightradar24.com/G20692/2f129688" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FlightRadar24</a> shows one Blackhawk helicopter flying around Billings.
&#8220;We have confirmed with @MontanaDES &amp; @GovGianforte that there have not been any explosions in, around, or across #Montana,&#8221; the city <a href="https://twitter.com/BillingsMT/status/1621694612330139650?s=20&amp;t=Jvig1wNy9Y6XmdLQMW87vw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>. &#8220;They are aware of the video and it can not be substantiated.&#8221;
Furthermore, Yellowstone County Sheriff Mike Linder told local news outlet <a href="https://www.kulr8.com/news/city-of-billings-reports-video-of-explosion-in-the-sky-over-billings-not-substantiated/article_ccacbd16-a429-11ed-ad17-b380aa32a87c.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KULR 8</a> that he was trying to verify the video. He was not able to contact Mrs. Moore and did not receive complaints from other witnesses.
But Montana Republican Congressman <a href="https://twitter.com/RepRosendale/status/1621684334880034816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1621684334880034816%7Ctwgr%5E45823a50f9669bc06a8293008d1e106a7fb19037%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvq.com%2Fnews%2Flocal-news%2Fvideo-billings-woman-captures-possible-explosion-in-sky-over-town" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Rosendale</a> expressed concern about the reports. &#8220;I am genuinely concerned with the lack of transparency about the original Chinese Spy balloon and potential unexplained explosion above Billings,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;I have reached out to the Commanding Officer at Malmstrom Air Force base for details.&#8221;
Mrs. Moore told The Daily Wire that the video is legitimate. &#8220;We have no reason to make this up,&#8221; Mrs. Moore and her husband both said over the phone. &#8220;We&#8217;re not techies, we don&#8217;t know how to do that.&#8221;
It is not known whether this event has anything to do with the suspected Chinese spy balloon seen over Montana on Thursday. Officials said that the balloon had moved and was over the state of <a href="https://twitter.com/RogerMarshallMD/status/1621572987802599426" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas</a> Friday afternoon.
