from The Bruce Collins Show · host Fringe Radio Network

Guest: James O'KeefeJames O'Keefe is the president of Project Veritas, a non-profit organization dedicated to training citizen journalists nationwide. James’ investigations expose corruption and malfeasance in major taxpayer-funded institutions, including ACORN, Planned Parenthood, NJEA, NPR and Medicaid. James is most well-known for his 2009 ACORN investigation, which exposed systematic corruption in multiple offices, such as the facilitation of child prostitution, human trafficking and tax evasion. The U.S. House and Senate promptly voted to defund ACORN and the U.S. Census cut ties with the group. The organization was ultimately forced to disband.Other well known investigations include NPR. The sting involved NPR executive Ron Schiller and senior director Betsy Liley; the two agreed to receive a $5 million donation from a fictions Muslim organization. Schiller proudly proclaimed that NPR is independent, much more so than the “Jewish controlled newspapers.” He also discussed his disgust of the Tea Party, The Republican Party, and Evangelical Christians. The two executives later resigned. The House of Representatives voted to defund NPR.In the summer of 2011, Project Veritas led an investigation into Medicaid office in six states. In every state Medicaid workers helped cover obvious cases of abuse and fraud on the applications. As a result of the investigation, workers were retrained in Maine and Ohio, the attorney generals in Ohio and Virginia called the videos “outrageous” and “troubling” and sought further investigations.Project Veritas' latest voter fraud bombshell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT77qP2Nai8Guest: Leighton Steward Leighton Steward is a geologist, environmentalist, author, and retired energy industry executive.

S. Corps of Engineers. Leighton was lead author on a book about nutrition and health (Sugar Busters) that gave advice on how to lose weight and prevent and or treat diabetes.

More recently, he has written a book (Fire, Ice and Paradise) that is an endeavor to educate the non-scientist about the many causes of global climate change so that the reader will be better prepared to understand what they hear, see, and read about in the media and from the politicians. In recognition of his many environmental efforts, Leighton has received numerous environmental awards, including the regional EPA Administrator's Award for environmental excellence.He is Chairman of the Board of The Institute for the Study of Earth and Man at SMU, was Chairman of the National Wetlands Coalition, and was twice Chairman of the Audubon Nature Institute.
