Dichter who is a trucker, spokesperson, and organizer of the freedom convoy protest that has been moving around different Canadian cities in the last few months in response to mandates on truckers imposed through the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown regulations and currently is set up in downtown Ottawa.

Mikhaila hosts Project Veritas founder and CEO James O’Keefe. Project Veritas is a group of undercover journalists tackling corruption (corporations, government...) via incriminating video footage that is released, untampered, for the public to decide for themselves. James is a polarizing public figure, gaining a fair share of detractors that accuse him of being little more than a political provocateur. Mikhaila and James cover his ban from Twitter on false information grounds, the FBI raiding his house, famous situations in undercover journalism, voter fraud in the US, DARPA, the shift in modern journalism, the target on James’ back given his line of work, ongoing feud with The NY Times, and much more.

In this episode, Mikhaila has author and influencer from the manosphere, Rollo Tomassi, on the podcast. Rollo has used Mikhaila as an example in videos about women, including a fairly direct comparison between her and a murderer. After quite directly detailing her issues with that portrayal, Mikhaila steers into a longer conversation about Tomassi's theories on men and women—the same ones he offers in The Rational Male book series.
