“A.J. Rice and I go way back! He has been a coal miner in the conservative trenches for patriotic projects for years. Including my own. It’s about time America found out what is on his mind.” — Pete Hegseth, co-host of FNC’s Fox and Friends Weekend, and New York Times bestselling author

“Like all American weaknesses, China loves Wokeism. My friend and publicist A.J. Rice ties culture and politics together as cleverly and urgently as anyone in the business. 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 exposes the players, their agenda, and how they've been using academia to build an army of anti-American, group-think zombies, in this must-read book.”—Jesse Kelly, host of I’m Right on TheFirstTV & The Jesse Kelly Show on Premiere Networks

“The Woking Dead is a must read for anyone who wants a look inside the left’s plot to steal our children and our minds. Many years ago, I coined the phrase 'blind liberal zombies,' this book takes that one phrase to a whole new level.  The MAGA PR King 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. Rice nails the cultural madness and dark manipulations of the radical Left as few others do or can: with smarts, humor, and refreshing common sense.  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.

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
