Absolutely, and there should be some clips in this film to back up what I'm saying. As you know, I like to make factual statements. Matthew Terremond was the number one orchestrator, the top guy. And you want to take you through a little bit of each of these guys. Matt Tierman, I was on a boat in the Bahamas, Pat, about eight, nine years ago with a big, big supporter, big philanthropist.

And he said to me, you have to be aware of this man. I said, why? He said, because this man is incredibly jealous of you, James. And he wants to be you. You need to get him off your board. Now, at the time, I didn't know what that meant. I was like, oh, what does that mean? He admires me? I didn't have any life experience to inform me what could happen to someone who wants to be you.

But apparently people saying this guy was very envious. He wanted to, you know, to be me or to... have what I have, whatever that, we could talk about that. That's Matthew Tierman, the guy who orchestrated everything. And there are some insane, pornographic, obscene messages he sent me.

He has an economics degree from the University of Chicago. His father was a famous Polish anti-communist dissident. A lot of these guys had fathers who were wealthy and famous. So one theory is that they lived in the shadow of their fathers.

We could talk more about him in a minute. There's George Skakel who we've been talking about. There's a man named Joseph Barton. There's federal deposition clips of him in the film. Joe Barton said some pretty crazy things in his deposition. He said, I'm not entitled to a private life. So these guys were publishing messages about my personal life with my girlfriend.

These guys have been obsessively, I mean obsessively, posting and tweeting on X about me nonstop for the last two years. Crazy stuff. Demonic stuff. You wouldn't even believe me unless I pulled it up on the screen.

You're referring to in the film, these are some of the employees. Now again, at Project Nerdist, people don't realize, when I came on your show, we had like 65, 70 employees. That's a lot of people. And you saw about 12 or so were acting in this demonic way. You're referring to... A couple of the younger employees who were behaving like this. So they came in the boardroom.

They said, O'Keefe's a mean boss. He yelled at me one time. He's a power drunk tyrant. And then a week later, they would send me an Instagram. I'm so sorry. I feel horrible for what I did. I never should have done this. And then like a few months later, they're calling me. I can't even say it on the air, but horrible. you know, expletive words on the DMs.
