The Woking Dead: How Society's Vogue Virus Destroys Our Culture

by A.J. Rice, Jason Mattera (Foreword by)

Overview

The Woking Dead are everywhere. An army of undead ghouls turning millions into mindless, ravenous devourers of all things good and American.

Donald J. Trump was the vaccine America needed. He fought for America against the Deep State and the woke maniacs relentlessly destroying everything Americans love. They’re attacking George Washington. They’re attacking Dave Chappelle and Abraham Lincoln. They have taken over the New York Times and the NBA. Trump understood this, and he stood, seemingly alone at times, against the cancel culture hordes clawing to take down the United States from within.

Rice understood the importance of Trump and why America needed him. This explains why many of Trump’s closest advisors have sought out A.J. Rice’s media advice and publicity help. If he wasn’t helping you today, chances are he will tomorrow.

Rice has fought behind the scenes for years, in ways you saw and heard but never understood—until now. A creative mind behind some of the nation’s most important talk radio stars and the strategist behind the America First books you love to read. Like it or not, his content has been around you in some form for decades.

He was in your favorite publications and behind some of America’s most courageous culture warriors and institutions, crafting strategy and winning the battles you care about. You’ve seen A.J. Rice's work for years...you just never knew it.

In The Woking Dead, Rice reveals it all. This bracing, hilarious, biting, hard-hitting collection takes you deep into the fight to make America great again. Rice, a contributor to many popular publications and the CEO of Publius PR in Washington, DC, seeks to save America from Joe Biden and his woke zombie battalions in government, entertainment, academia, sports, and media. The Woking Dead will wake you up to what’s happening in your culture and help you gird your loins for the crazy years ahead.

Jason has served as the youngest editor of a national periodical, Human Events, and as a broadcaster with the legendary news talk radio 77 WABC in New York City. His “ambush interviews” of top liberals, including Vice President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, and comedian Chris Rock have become Internet legends.

Ann Coulter crowned Mattera a “national treasure,” Michelle Malkin says his work is a “heat-seeking missile aimed at the Cult of Obama,” and Politico named him Washington D.C.’s “bad boy reporter.”

Currently he is the publisher of the news and entertainment site Daily Surge.

Mattera’s a Brooklyn native who currently resides in Washington, D.C. When he’s not busy punking liberals, Jason enjoys eating organic foods, recycling his trash, and watching reruns of The League.

Editorial Reviews

At last, my former radio executive producer, A.J.

This book is useful, entertaining, and informative.” —Brig. Gen. Robert S. Spalding III (USAF-Ret.), former senior director for strategic planning for the White House National Security Council, and author of Stealth War: How China Took Over While America’s Elite Slept

“The Woking Dead are among us and have been for decades—diligently setting the stage for the systematic destruction of our Western way of life. Conservative insider A.J.

Rice lets the truth bombs fly!” — Grant Stinchfield, host of Newsmax TV’s Stinchfield

“In The Woking Dead, my former Executive Producer A.J.

A must-read for those who care about the precarious state of our beloved America today.” — Monica Crowley, former assistant secretary of the Treasury and New York Times bestselling author

“I have worked with A.J. Rice on several book projects, and he is hands-down one of the sharpest behind-the-scenes media players conservatism has. With his new book, the PR wizard steps into the spotlight this time to deliver the smackdown on those who definitely deserve it.” — Steve Deace, host of The Steve Deace Show on BlazeTV, and bestselling author

Rice proves himself to be the answer to the left’s attack on America’s culture.” — Chris Salcedo, host of Newsmax TV’s The Chris Salcedo Show
