Transcript
00:00:00.000
A lot of conservatives were told on day one, week one, you know, we're going to find that about
00:00:06.360
Epstein, 9-11, MLK, John F. Kennedy. We're going to find all that stuff out. And we've been wanting
00:00:10.980
it for a while to see what's going on with us, who's behind it, especially the last few years
00:00:15.380
at a whole different level. And we're going to find out who the assassination attempt was. Was
00:00:19.900
he tied to anybody? Was Thomas tied to anybody? And then we all see the same clip that you've seen,
00:00:25.000
right? It's the clip with Bongino and Cash Patel. Yes, yes. If you can pull that clip up, Rob,
00:00:30.880
and, you know, these are two men that almost anybody who knows, I think that's the one right
00:00:37.240
there, almost anybody that knows them would call them patriots, right? Yeah. They've served their
00:00:42.360
country. They've given their lives to the country. Dan has at the highest level, so has Cash Patel.
00:00:47.620
And then we see this clip here that throws a lot of people off. Go for it, Rob.
00:00:50.440
You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don't believe it.
00:00:56.080
Well, I mean, listen, they have a right to their opinion. But as someone who has worked
00:01:01.420
as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who's been in the
00:01:05.360
Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when
00:01:10.360
you see one. And that's what that was. He killed himself. Again, you want me to? I've seen
00:01:17.140
the whole file. He killed himself. I know it's hard work. You said. And you saw people that
00:01:22.800
have done body language. You know, Dan looks uncomfortable saying what he's saying, the
00:01:28.120
way he answered it. You can tell they've roleplayed that. And, you know, this is purely what people
00:01:32.540
are speculating, right? And then you have this one clip with Pam Bondi. Correct. If you have
00:01:38.860
the Pam Bondi one. I'd like to play that. So maybe walk us through what's going on here
00:01:42.040
before we play. I don't know if you want me to narrate live as opposed to watching me on the
00:01:45.420
screen. Perhaps we go to the beginning of where you see Pam Bondi on the hidden camera.
00:01:50.940
So I'll just talk live what I said on the camera. OK, so there she is at the White House. Go
00:01:54.780
back to the beginning of that clip of her. So that was a tough one for me to publish because
00:01:59.560
I I you asked if I'm political and I think I'm you know, you have to decide who you want
00:02:07.040
to be. Are you a political operative or are you a journalist? And to be a journalist, it's
00:02:12.320
hard because you have to do things like this. Pam Bondi was caught in a restaurant telling
00:02:21.840
a stranger, a nanny on April 28th or so that there are tens of thousands of videos involving
00:02:28.440
little children. Now, I didn't target her. I didn't seek to get this. People send me stuff.
00:02:34.880
Sometimes I've undercover people all over the country and they happen to get a conversation
00:02:38.280
in an airport. I get sent this. I'm like, holy, holy shit. This is not public. The attorney
00:02:46.120
general of the United States and by the way, Cash, I believe the FBI reports to her. So
00:02:51.080
this is the top dog. Yep. Is saying to a nanny in a restaurant something that no one knows.
00:02:59.480
And to me, I'm like, well, that that's an interesting story, is it not? So I do what I have to do.
00:03:04.140
I reach out to the attorney general's office for comment. I say, you know, Pam Bondi, the
00:03:08.420
attorney of the United States, was caught in a restaurant saying, and I actually wonder
00:03:12.000
whether I should have done that. I probably did him a favor by giving them the exact quotes.
00:03:18.680
And then a few days later, she says the exact same thing publicly that I emailed the attorney
00:03:25.260
general's office for comment saying it played the clip of her at the White House. This is what
00:03:29.360
she's in. Thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn. Now, this is the first
00:03:38.660
time an official has publicly acknowledged that videos of Epstein and his victims exist. What
00:03:44.860
you may not know is just nine days prior, the attorney general had a very similar conversation
00:03:51.160
with a total stranger in a restaurant. Do you know when the Epstein files are going to get
00:03:55.680
released? Um, we hope soon. Okay. Okay. So any dates? No. You know what it is? There are
00:04:03.580
tens of thousands of videos. Yeah. And it's all with little pins. So they have to go through
00:04:10.100
every one. Pause. So it's interesting because she said it privately in a restaurant to a, well,
00:04:17.160
publicly, publicly, publicly in a restaurant, not privately. And to me, it's like, that's
00:04:22.560
something's something. So I felt like I had to publish this. Now, if she hadn't gone publicly
00:04:27.500
and said this, and I had released this clip in the restaurant, it would have been a much,
00:04:32.680
much, much bigger deal. But it does raise questions, doesn't it? Why is this? Why are they not being
00:04:39.200
transparent with the American people? Why are they telling a nanny in a restaurant? So it raises
00:04:43.320
questions to your point about cash. I know cash a little bit. I think he is a good man.
00:04:48.620
And I mean that I based upon what I know about him. I don't know Dan as much, but I also think
00:04:53.580
he's a good man. I don't trust the bureaucracy that reports to them. And if you put any good man
00:05:00.100
and the most ethical person at the top of that bureaucracy, I think you're setting them up for
00:05:05.380
failure. Let me give you a specific example of where I'm coming from. I was raided by the FBI
00:05:09.860
shortly before I met you. The FBI pointed guns at me and took my reporter's notebooks.
00:05:16.200
They just recently closed the case against me a few months ago, the FBI, in February of this year.
00:05:21.880
And they gave me back my phones that they had for three and a half years. When you get it,
00:05:26.300
when you get a search warrant to conduct a raid, you have to go to a judge, right? With a reason.
00:05:31.000
Oh, we have this probable cause, the reasons why to raid. When you close a case, which is very rare
00:05:37.260
for the FBI to execute a search warrant and not bring charges, it hardly ever happens.
00:05:41.940
You are required by law to give a copy of the probable cause. That is the reason why you conducted
00:05:47.600
the raid. Guess what they did? They redacted every single word of the probable cause used to raid my
00:05:55.680
newsroom. Every word. Maybe your producer can pull it up on Google or something. Every word.
00:06:01.840
There's a black bar, Pat, through. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's ridiculous. It's literally black
00:06:08.040
bars. And we're not talking about terrorists. We're not talking about Jeff Epstein. We're not
00:06:13.520
talking about child molesters and drug traffickers. We're talking about James O'Keefe, the journalist.
00:06:17.600
So if our FBI, our attorney general's office, can't be transparent about why they raided a
00:06:25.980
journalist's newsroom, why do we have any faith in the FBI to be transparent about these other,
00:06:32.940
these other issues? That's where I'm coming from on this.
00:06:34.880
And is this, is this, is this in regard to the Ashley Biden diary?
00:06:38.480
This is it, right? Cause you exposed, cause somebody contacted you and told them that they
00:06:42.300
found the diary of the daughter of the president of the United States staying a bunch of stuff
00:06:47.360
and also claiming that her father showered with her probably at inappropriate ages.
00:06:54.480
Correct. Yeah. It's an affidavit. It's my, uh, go, go, go down, go down. Uh, it's project
00:07:00.480
paradise journalist that detained devices sees this is not it, but it's on my X page. Um,
00:07:05.400
there's a, there's a, there's on page 47 of the affidavit. Um, every word is redacted.
00:07:12.540
I mean, I, I, I was enraged. The AC, the American civil liberties union, which is a liberal group
00:07:20.240
came to mind. This is like, this is crazy. You take, if, if another country like Ukraine or Russia
00:07:26.520
or North Korea did this, our state department would, so my, my point is I don't have a lot
00:07:35.220
What do you think happens when they get in? That's what I want to know. Because to me,
00:07:39.840
there it is right there. I apologize. I apologize. Could you just, I apologize. Is that real?
00:07:43.860
That's a real, that's a real document. Can you zoom in please?
00:07:46.260
Look what it says, probable, probable cause justifying search of O'Keefe's person and
00:07:51.200
premises. Every single word is redacted. They even redacted the footnote. So, so this is insane.
00:07:59.080
So they can do whatever they want and they don't have to show you why they came in your house.
00:08:01.960
It's, it's literally, it's a violate. Look at this. Look at this. The whole thing. Keep going, Rob.
00:08:07.820
Like, okay. Oh, I see what they did there. Okay. There's something unredacted. Read the bottom.
00:08:13.320
What's the bottom? Read that. Based upon my, this is an FBI agent. I have learned among other things
00:08:17.960
that cell phones are capable of sending emails. Great. Are you kidding me? I'm shocked I didn't
00:08:23.540
redact that. This is not Saturday night live. And then it goes on to the rest of the affidavit.
00:08:28.380
But the previous three pages are the probable cause. That is the justification for the raid
00:08:34.080
against James O'Keefe. And James, if you don't mind, what were they looking for? The diary?
00:08:38.680
They weren't looking for the diary. They already had that. What were they? Well, that's a loaded
00:08:44.380
question. What were they really trying to do? What were they really trying to do? They were really
00:08:47.280
trying to get inside my cell phone because people in the government come to me with information,
00:08:52.240
which is a reporter I have a right to receive, and they don't like that. Of course.
00:08:55.720
Of course. Now, if you think about it. Did you give them the password to your cell phone?
00:08:58.920
Okay, this is another very interesting story. Because you know what happened with Ron Johnson
00:09:01.700
where when they walked up to his house and they took his phone, and the rule of thumb,
00:09:07.680
if you ever hand your phone over, never, you're not supposed to give the password. How did
00:09:11.240
they get into your phone? This is a crazy story. They bang on the door, and it's the loudest
00:09:15.640
pounding. You know it's the feds. You just know. And I go to the door. I'm like, I'm opening
00:09:20.680
the door because they're going to shoot me. And then they open. They put me in handcuffs. I think I'm
00:09:25.400
under arrest. They say, no, this is a search warrant. I say, I want to speak to my lawyer.
00:09:28.820
I say over and over again, I want to speak to my lawyer because I learned I was arrested
00:09:32.120
10 years prior. Don't talk to the FBI. Just don't. Even if you're innocent. They say,
00:09:38.600
would you like to use the iPhone on your nightstand? I said, yes. And then I unlock the phone
00:09:45.900
because I have to call my lawyer. Get out of here. And the moment that I unlock my phone,
00:09:50.620
they snatch the phone. Get out of here. Not get out of here. Holy shit. They snatch the phone
00:09:55.280
out of my hand because I unlocked the phone. And then the FBI agent, like almost to torture
00:10:02.420
me in front of me, he goes to the settings and he changes the settings to make it not go
00:10:08.320
to sleep. Wow. And then they put the phone in an evidence bag. Now the FBI has access to all of my
00:10:15.840
signal messages. Do you know what's in my signal messages? All the people in the government that
00:10:21.800
come to me with information. Wow. So the Department of Justice, this is the Biden department or the
00:10:26.740
month before Trump was elected in 2020. Excuse me. Biden was elected in 2020. Now they have access
00:10:32.480
to all of my sources. So this is what gets considered to be a constitutional raping because the
00:10:38.020
American bill of rights have special protections for reporters. And, and I'm the, you're talking
00:10:43.920
to the only newsroom that has ever been raided by the FBI. We're the only ones that have ever
00:10:47.680
been raided. And they did it just to get the information. So what's behind all those black
00:10:53.140
bars? I believe confidential FBI informants, people who lied to the FBI to set me up. So I could tell
00:11:02.260
you so many war stories, guys, but you asked me questions about cash and Dan Bongino. They're great
00:11:06.960
guys. I think they mean well, but if you put me in charge of the FBI, I wouldn't know what
00:11:11.680
to do. I mean, how do you trust a bureaucracy like that? Where people behave that by the way,
00:11:16.580
that is totally illegal. You can't take a gun pointed against your forehead and say, give
00:11:22.880
me your reporter's notebooks. If that happened in Eastern Europe, our state department would
00:11:30.440
be issuing sanctions against that country. But it happened in New York. Yeah. So, so guys,
00:11:35.760
one question, James. So they promise all this day one, we're going to do this day one. We're
00:11:39.940
going to do that. What do you think happened? Meaning they're in now. Donald Trump is the
00:11:44.640
president. He's told them, go ahead, you guys do whatever you want. What, who, who makes a Pam
00:11:50.540
Bondi, a Dan Bongino, a Cash Patel, all of a sudden change their tunes and not release what we know.
00:11:57.320
Well, because James, at the end of the day, she even said tens of thousands. I'm assuming
00:12:01.340
James is let's say 30,000 hours of grown men having sex with children. And James, I don't
00:12:07.580
know if you're familiar in the movie JFK, Jim Garrison says, and I quote, let justice be
00:12:12.560
done though the heavens fall, which basically means going after truth, no matter how powerful
00:12:16.920
the people and no matter what happens to the system. So what happened? What, what do you
00:12:21.080
think they go in and who, who tells them you are not releasing any of this because our
00:12:25.680
friends and blah, blah, blah are attached to it? I, I don't know if anyone tells them,
00:12:30.380
I mean, some have said they, they put you in a skiff. This is, this is more of a, this
00:12:34.880
is not a fact. This is speculation, but a funny notion that might illustrate what could
00:12:40.840
happen is, you know, that image of JFK getting shot. Yes. Do they put the leaders in a skiff?
00:12:46.420
That's a secure compartmentalized information facility. Do they show the Zapruder film of JFK getting
00:12:51.820
shot and said, you better do what we tell you to do? Or that could be you. Now I'm not saying
00:12:57.460
they did that to these gentlemen. And I actually genuinely mean this. I've met cash. I think he's
00:13:01.780
a genuinely good man. I just don't, I think the system is institutionally corrupt. And everyone
00:13:09.100
says, you know what they say to me, Pat? Oh, called cash. He'll help you out. Call bam,
00:13:13.360
call Pam. Yeah. Like I got them on speed dial. They're getting asked for 10,000 favors a day.
00:13:18.520
Mm-hmm. I don't have, I don't have any money to give them. The system is so broken when you need
00:13:24.660
the guy at the top to be so influential. It's the system. It's the article three judges. It's the
00:13:30.360
courts. It's the line prosecutors, the agents in my apartment. Do you know that when the agents were
00:13:35.140
in my apartment, I could tell by the looks on their faces that they didn't want to be there.
00:13:39.460
They're like, this is, this is, this is crazy. This is, this is wrong, but they did it.
00:13:44.960
Well, speculate a little bit. What do you think happens when they get in? Because
00:13:48.220
they tend to change when they get in. Are you talking about the FBI agents? Anybody and
00:13:52.000
everybody that the moment they get in and the whole quote by Mario Cuomo, people campaign in
00:13:57.880
poetry, but they govern in prose. You know, once they go in, you know, they used to communicate
00:14:04.560
and talk to you. Now, the only way they talk to you is with emojis. You know, Hey, when they
00:14:08.940
were campaigning, they wanted to talk to you regularly. I want to come on the podcast. I'm going
00:14:12.220
to do this. I'm going to do that. And then all of a sudden they're in there. They're,
00:14:15.160
they're more, uh, quiet about, but what do you think happens when they get in?
00:14:18.940
Politics, politics. I'm working on a story right now. One of the directors of the agency,
00:14:23.800
they mean well, they go into FEMA or they go on the IRS. They have all these notions of
00:14:29.240
freedom and prosperity and eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. But then they get in there
00:14:33.480
and there's such snakes in these entities. Just D I mean, you know, I mean, DC, it's a land of
00:14:40.720
phonies and narcissists. They're not attracted to do the right thing. They want power and money and
00:14:46.280
sex. Are we, are we under some delusion that the people in Washington want something other
00:14:51.560
than power and money and sex? What percentage of the people in Washington inside these agencies
00:14:56.220
are actually there to do the right thing? What percentage for real? Are we not even foolish
00:15:02.800
enough to think that people are in these places? I think they start off wanting to do the right
00:15:08.400
thing. And then through peer pressure, they get, they get forced or there, there's a few people
00:15:14.800
or there's a few people that are there who do the right thing, but there's so many snakes
00:15:18.860
and manipulative. Look at what happened to me. Look why I'm on your show. I started my own
00:15:24.140
institution because I didn't want to be part of the snakes and, and the snakes infiltrate. And
00:15:30.880
I think in some regards, it's human nature. Um, and this is a really good question you're asking.
00:15:37.660
I'm learning in real time. I started an institution because I didn't trust institutions and then I'm
00:15:43.540
removed from my own institution by snakes. Yeah. Hello everyone. I'm James O'Keefe been doing this
00:15:48.720
journalism thing for about 20 years. Truth, justice, exposing corruption, everything that comes along
00:15:54.060
