Chapter 1: What is the main focus of James O'Keefe's investigations?

1.164 - 3.885 Host

I mean, I'm sure other countries have sent spies and gotten information.

0

4.205 - 28.833 Host

And we don't know it. And with me, I'm a reporter, so I publish it. But I said to the guy, confronted him on this week. I said, you're lucky I'm not a Chinese spy. What was his response? He was mute. They run away. Usually they park the car like way far away. So it was a long awkward walk. I love how you filmed that part too. All right, guys, we got James here. He just did 20 pull-ups.

29.213 - 40.553 Host

Right over there. With wearing this freaking thing, it's like 20 pounds. It's like a weighted vest. It's a weighted vest right there. Yeah, well done, man. And you just had four whistleblowers on stage with you. Yes. What were they talking about?

0

40.573 - 59.367 Host

So there was two Border Patrol agents, one Disney, one FEMA. And these are people who are witness to, for example, children being trafficked or FEMA not doing their jobs. The Disney guy, children being transitioned to a different gender. And they are very brave people on stage with me. And we're announcing this program.

59.387 - 72.734 Host

We're going to defend them, pay their legal bills and support them when they speak the truth. Wow. So the two border ones, is the government going after them? Yes. Well, they are, but there's a new administration coming January 20th, so hopefully that'll change. Yeah.

73.014 - 88.623 Host

And Line in the Sand just came out. Congratulations. Line in the Sand. I'm very proud of the film with Tucker Carlson. It was really a special movie because it was a documentary, but it was not really like any documentary I was ever seen. It shows versus tells. It takes you there. I go to Mexico.

89.023 - 112.077 Host

I follow them on the train, all the illegal immigrants, all the way to Los Angeles, New York City where the fraud is being perpetrated, and in Texas where they have the NGOs that house all the unaccompanied children. How much did it cost to get across the border? Oh, so me personally, I didn't cross the border, but about $10,000 for many of the people that we put cameras on. And it could range.

112.217 - 131.572 Host

It could be from $1,500 to $30,000 for some of the Chinese illegal immigrants. Wow. And that's the Mexican border, right? Yes. I wonder if that's going on in Canada, too. It is. Zachary Apotheker, one of the border patrol agents, stationed in Vermont on the Canadian border. I did not realize how porous it was there, but a lot of people sneaking into Vermont from Quebec.

131.832 - 135.113 Host

Really? I did not know that. That's not really being covered too much in the mainstream.

Chapter 2: What revelations did Zachary Voorhees share about Google?

285.57 - 287.793 Host

Yeah, that's what I love about you. You're not scared of any company.

0

288.519 - 308.063 Host

I mean, I was in L.A. making this film in post-production, and everyone was like, don't go after Disney, don't go after Disney. And there were conversations, and people said, don't go after Disney. And I said, no, I'm not going to not go after. If it hurts, it would be worse for me if I took that advice. Yeah. I mean, you went after Google. You went after a lot of big companies.

0

308.103 - 332.307 Host

BlackRock, Pfizer, the FBI, Disney. The cartel is in the film. That was still a little terrifying. The most powerful enemies in the world. Yes. And you have the back of the people and you're the enemy. As you know, I was terminated from my own creation. I was fired from Prashik Veritas, the institution I created. In many regards, do the same work. It runs contrary to being part of an institution.

332.327 - 338.532 Host

You kind of have to be a maverick. You have to be an outsider to do this. Yeah, insane. What did you find out at Google?

0

339.432 - 362.26 Host

I did many stories on Google. I think the one that comes to mind is Zachary Voorhees exposed Google's machine learning algorithms about fairness. And if the information is unfair, they'll change the search results to make it fair. You saw that with the Trump episode. Whatever that means. That's like science fiction stuff. I mean, what do you mean information is fair?

362.28 - 374.325 Host

I think you want true information. Yeah. That was a really interesting one. I mean, you saw with the Trump-Rogan episode, you couldn't search it on Google. Well, there you go. It didn't pop up. That's an example. And certain topics are still shadowbanned to this day.

374.885 - 393.816 Host

Yes, and that's definitely an example. It's a circumstantial example. And you've got to go into the code and get the damning. There was one quote we got from Jen Janai at Google who said, we have to quote, this is in 2019, she said, we have to prevent the next Trump situation. She was saying, we've got to prevent Trump from winning the election.

394.297 - 406.655 Host

So to have them say it, to have the code that shows it, that's what you need. ActBlue was a big expose you did as well. In 2023 and 2024, we exposed FEC donations to ActBlue. Very curious that there were...

407.83 - 425.18 Host

people that were in poverty donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to do you think campaign financing law should be changed because there's certain parties raising way more than others i think the federal election commission is to investigate that situation i don't know i never got to the bottom of why that was happening was it money laundering from a foreign country

Chapter 3: How are whistleblowers supported in their efforts?

640.213 - 658.563 Host

Is that where you're from? I'm from New Jersey, yeah. Where? Bridgewater. Bridgewater. I'm from Bergen County. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. Jersey people work hard, man. Jersey people. They're loyal. Jersey people are, you know, special people. They are. Jersey Shore painted us in a bad light. I don't even know. I think all those people are from like New York, Binghamton or something.

0

658.583 - 675.736 Host

They weren't even from New Jersey. When are you investigating Bill Gates? Because that's needed. You know, I can't comment on things I'm doing at the moment, but in late January, I got something coming. I love it, dude. I love it. You probably get pulled in so many directions.

0

675.816 - 687.699 Host

And that's why you have to be careful with your time. Because everyone's got a story to tell. But it really comes down to the evidence that you're showing. Not just the testimony, but the evidence. What do you think of all the drone stuff happening in Jersey and New York?

0

687.839 - 698.682 Host

I don't have a comment because I don't know. I don't like to speculate. I haven't looked into that. I like that. People could have made up an answer. I don't know. I try to only...

0

699.662 - 726.677 Host

say things i know so we'll see yeah any documentaries you're working on next though well i'm trying to get line of the sand widely distributed right now it's on tucker yeah and i'm working on maybe theaters maybe nice because i really think it's a really important and seminal work for me it was really really hard to make and a very unusual film that's going to be a tough battle because what they did to that one movie uh the child trafficking one i forget the name uh um

727.617 - 744.329 Host

It was a couple years. Sound of Freedom? Yeah. They blocked it in a lot of theaters, right? I think that things are changing in the market economy. I think that's going to change. I think people want to see this sort of thing. That's good, man. Well, I can't wait to keep up with you. Where can people keep up to date with what you're up to?

745.049 - 762.5 Host
