Rick Addante | My Price Is My Life With James O’Keefe #6

Rick Addante was offered $96,000 to stay silent. He chose truth instead.

A husband, father, neuroscientist, and former tenured professor at Florida Tech, Addante risked his livelihood to expose FIT’s secret plan to undermine government DEI restrictions in order to secure millions in funding.

They took his job, but couldn’t take his conviction.
