This is definitely something we're interested in doing, we are just booked at max capacity right now with travel and other commitments. Can we touch base towards the start of June to look at something for July or August? Thanks so much for understanding the craziness right now. Have a great rest of your week, lzzy From: Matthew Boyle <mboyle@breitbart.com> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2025 2:44 PM To: Dietderich, Ben <ben.dietderich@hq.doe.gov> Cc: Lamanna, Isabelle <Isabelle.Lamanna@hq.doe.gov>; Hebert, Ashley <ashley.hebert@hq.doe.gov>; Woods, Andrea <andrea.woods@hq.doe.gov> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Breitbart event details -- Hey guys I'm back in the U.S. now and wanted to follow up again and see if we can't lock in a date for sometime in May or June soon so we can start doing all the preparations for it?

Would be great to lock one down this week so we can get everything organized venue wise and event production wise.

Adding in our scheduling team to see if this is something we could potentially schedule in May or June! Best, Ben From: Matthew Boyle <mboyle@breitbart.com> Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at 9:37 PM To: Dietderich, Ben <ben.dietderich@hq.doe.gov> Cc: Woods, Andrea <andrea.woods@hq.doe.gov> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Breitbart event details -Ben, Great talking to you earlier today, and hopefully we will be able to lock down something very soon in terms of an event date and time. Even though she didn't join us on the call, I'm including Andrea here as well. The gist of these is as follows: We need to lock in a date and time, ideally in the morning like the 9 or 10 am ET hour, for a date ideally sometime in the first couple weeks of May. Anytime May 5-16 any weekday in there would work great for us. Once we lock in a date and time, our partners - CGCN and the ALFA Institute -- would with event productions company to go find a venue and make everything go off amazingly. The commitment we need from the Secretary is a confirmed date and time, and the gist of the event is that we would do a 30-40 minute interview on stage with him {I would be the one doing the interview) and we would broadcast that live on our site and across our social platforms. The event we did with Secretary Burgum last week got pretty wide pickup (I can send some examples if needed) in addition to our site. I would say it's best if he blocks off an hour or so on his schedule just so he can arrive and hang in green room and everything goes smoothly so we don't have to rush when he arrives. Let me know if the Secretary has any dates in that timeframe that work well for him, and how we go about locking it in and then we'll take it from there. Thanks, Matthew Boyle Washington Bureau Chief, Breitbart News ******************************************************************** This message does not originate from a known Department of Energy email system.
