[00:00:00] Okay. [00:00:10] >> All right. Are we live? [00:00:13] >> Okay, everyone. We're back. Uh we don't [00:00:15] know what was happening. Uh but uh our [00:00:18] streams were shut down on YouTube and X. [00:00:20] So, we're going to start again from [00:00:22] where we left off from zero viewers. [00:00:25] Here we go. If you're just tuning in, [00:00:28] um, we're going to go ahead and play the [00:00:30] lead video again. We have a few more [00:00:32] callers to get through. [00:00:34] >> Go ahead and play the first 30 seconds [00:00:36] of that video one more time. [00:00:40] >> Can I see your badge again with your [00:00:43] photo? You're so cute. [00:00:46] >> A current Secret Service agent on Vice [00:00:49] President JD Vance's security detail. [00:00:52] >> When he's like walking like, "Where are [00:00:53] you?" following will have at least a [00:00:56] million head [00:00:58] >> gives [clears throat] away vital [00:01:00] highlevel security information to our [00:01:02] undercover journalist. We have different [00:01:04] shifts. [00:01:09] >> Tells her about detailed future travel [00:01:11] plans for the vice president and even [00:01:13] sends her pictures with location [00:01:15] metadata revealing where the president's [00:01:17] convoy was located, potentially [00:01:19] violating [music] both the Secret [00:01:20] Service NDA and United States federal [00:01:23] law. Tomas is fully aware of this. [00:01:25] Quote, "I signed paperwork, so if I [00:01:28] don't have to get out information, I [00:01:30] never do, otherwise I get in trouble." [00:01:32] You really have to stand in awe of the [00:01:34] lack of self-awareness. [00:01:36] >> There ain't no secret secret about what [00:01:38] we do. [00:01:39] >> Tomas Escato also reveals that he voted [00:01:42] for Biden and that he hates Trump and [00:01:44] Vance's immigration policies. [00:01:46] >> Did you vote for Biden? [00:01:47] >> Yes, I did actually. [00:01:49] >> What do you think about like all the ICE [00:01:51] stuff going on? [00:01:52] >> Yeah, I hear that [ __ ] [00:01:53] >> Yeah, [00:01:55] >> taxes. [00:01:56] You may have seen reports last week that [00:01:58] someone attempted to break into Vice [00:02:00] President JD Vance's home in Ohio. That [00:02:03] incident prompted us to take a closer [00:02:05] look. What we found in our investigation [00:02:08] was an agent inside the vice president's [00:02:11] detail who is actually revealing to a [00:02:13] total stranger that the vice president [00:02:15] would be visiting his home in Ohio days [00:02:17] ahead of time. And while what you're [00:02:19] about to see is an important story, the [00:02:21] security of the vice president and his [00:02:23] family is our top priority. Now, under [00:02:26] normal circumstances, our editorial [00:02:28] policy is to request comment a day or [00:02:30] two before a report airs. But in this [00:02:32] case, we contacted the Secret Service a [00:02:35] full week in advance of this report to [00:02:37] ensure that nothing we report here would [00:02:40] compromise the vice president's safety [00:02:42] in any way. But even with those [00:02:43] precautions, what we uncovered is [00:02:46] troubling. And we felt this is important [00:02:48] for you all to see. We hope that [00:02:50] bringing this to light strengthens [00:02:52] security and helps prevent future [00:02:54] vulnerabilities in our government. [00:02:56] >> All right. [00:02:56] >> Can I see you back? [00:02:58] >> So, back to Logan. Are you still there? [00:03:01] >> I'm still here. [00:03:02] >> All right. Uh, if could you just sort of [00:03:04] repeat um again, the Secret Service [00:03:08] issued this statement and they've pull [00:03:11] up the statement, please. It's not a [00:03:12] statement, it's a memo. Uh, can you [00:03:14] throw the memo on the screen? Over the [00:03:16] past several months, our employee was [00:03:18] targeted, manipulated. Why do you think [00:03:20] they're Laura Logan? Why do you think [00:03:23] that they are um giving me that low [00:03:26] blow? Why why are they doing that? [00:03:30] Well, [00:03:31] >> to be honest with you, James, it's very [00:03:33] troubling that they are attacking you or [00:03:35] or you know, not directly attacking you, [00:03:37] but being snide, making a sort of [00:03:40] vaguely disparaging comments about [00:03:42] deceptive tactics and targeting and so [00:03:45] on because they should really be [00:03:47] thanking you. The Secret Service, in [00:03:49] fact, should have rolled out the red [00:03:50] carpet for you because you just exposed [00:03:52] a catastrophic security breach for them. [00:03:56] If you are, you know, taking presidents [00:03:59] photographs and sending them from the [00:04:01] plane with the vice president on board [00:04:03] as this man was doing, if you're doing [00:04:06] giving away tactics, techniques, and [00:04:08] procedures that are critical to all [00:04:10] Secret Service operations, by the way, [00:04:12] not just the vice president, but to the [00:04:14] president as well. If you're giving [00:04:16] these things away to someone, nobody [00:04:18] walks up to a Secret Service agent and [00:04:20] says, you know, hey, I'm with al-Qaeda [00:04:22] or I'm an Iranian revolutionary God spy [00:04:25] or, you know, and and I want to find [00:04:27] this out. No, they're they're supposed [00:04:28] they are trained to detect um any kind [00:04:32] of deceptive tactics and to counter [00:04:34] against that. And the other thing is, [00:04:36] James, you know, nobody knows at this [00:04:38] point how far this goes. Is it just this [00:04:42] guy? Is he acting on his own? Or are [00:04:44] there other people within the Secret [00:04:45] Service that share his ideology because [00:04:48] he's against the president, against the [00:04:49] vice president, critical of their [00:04:52] policies on immigration and so on and so [00:04:53] on. He's a Biden holdover. How many more [00:04:55] Biden holdovers are there? So, the fact [00:04:58] that the Secret Service is coming, you [00:05:00] know, is is sending out that internal [00:05:02] memo where they they really take a few [00:05:03] shots at you is extremely troubling [00:05:06] because it's it's not demonstrating that [00:05:09] the agency is is dealing with this. the [00:05:12] way that they should be dealing with [00:05:13] this. This is a counterintelligence [00:05:15] issue. This guy was collecting, storing, [00:05:18] and transmitting information relating to [00:05:21] the location and movements of the vice [00:05:24] president of the United States. You [00:05:26] don't know who else he was sharing it [00:05:28] with. If he was sharing it with foreign [00:05:30] actors, states, other, you know, other [00:05:32] enemies of the United States that are [00:05:34] abroad, that would be treason. if he was [00:05:36] sharing it with people here on the left [00:05:39] and and in other places, you know, where [00:05:41] [clears throat] [00:05:42] that could be um sedition and on I spoke [00:05:45] to a few law enforcement people very [00:05:47] briefly before coming on here. The they [00:05:49] they all said the first place that they [00:05:51] would look is is this information being [00:05:53] shared with the left? Remember not so [00:05:55] long ago the vice president's residence [00:05:56] was broken into? How did that possibly [00:05:59] happen? Is this related to that? Those [00:06:02] are the questions that a counter [00:06:03] inelligence investigation would unearth. [00:06:05] But I have to say this again. This is [00:06:08] arguably the most important story that [00:06:11] you have ever done [00:06:13] >> because every American should get on [00:06:15] their knees and say thank you for the [00:06:17] fact that your undercover journalist, [00:06:19] you know, all they were doing was trying [00:06:21] to get information and understand [00:06:22] something. They were not they were not [00:06:25] looking to actively take action against [00:06:27] the vice president or the president. And [00:06:30] um and so the Secret Service has been [00:06:32] given a gift here because before any of [00:06:35] these people could be harmed, they have [00:06:37] been made aware of the security breach. [00:06:39] That should be their only focus, you [00:06:42] know, and it's understandable that they [00:06:43] want to, you know, beef up their other [00:06:45] employees because there are many great [00:06:47] people in the Secret Service who give [00:06:49] everything and do a great job. But let's [00:06:51] not forget that we had Butler, [00:06:53] Pennsylvania not so long ago, right? So [00:06:55] there are issues within the secret [00:06:56] service and um we don't know how many [00:07:00] other uh people are connected to this [00:07:02] individual or for example how many other [00:07:04] people there are within the secret [00:07:05] service who are compromised and this is [00:07:07] happening partly because the Trump [00:07:10] administration has failed to clean house [00:07:13] across the federal government. The DOJ [00:07:15] is going to [00:07:17] FBI has the same problem. This is going [00:07:19] to force him to I don't I don't see [00:07:21] >> what Jame [00:07:22] >> this is going to force them to clean [00:07:23] house because I mean is this I mean is [00:07:26] this a you mentioned the word sedition [00:07:29] or treason. Can you just talk us through [00:07:32] >> what you think this might be? [00:07:37] >> Well, when you look at the law for [00:07:39] treason and sedition, we are in the [00:07:41] midst of a sedicious conspiracy. not a [00:07:44] conspiracy theory, but where people in [00:07:46] the United States are conspiring [00:07:48] together to overthrow the government to [00:07:51] subvert the president of the United [00:07:52] States, subvert the will of the people. [00:07:54] It is extremely frustrating for millions [00:07:56] of Americans that this is something that [00:07:58] began with Hillary Clinton and Russia [00:08:01] collusion and fusion GPS and Mark Elias [00:08:04] and all those people. It went all the [00:08:05] way up into the White House to President [00:08:07] Obama. Um, it laid and and of course Joe [00:08:10] Biden. It was the director of the CIA, [00:08:12] John Brennan was involved. You know, [00:08:14] James Clapper is the DNI. We we know all [00:08:16] of this. The government has, you know, [00:08:18] Chelsea Gabbat has come out and talked [00:08:20] about it. Kirsty Gnome, President Trump. [00:08:22] I mean, one after another after another, [00:08:24] they're documenting a sedicious [00:08:26] conspiracy that is still ongoing. This [00:08:29] is part of the same conspiracy. the same [00:08:31] people funding the protests on the [00:08:33] streets are probably the people [00:08:35] encouraging this kind of person to [00:08:37] betray the oath of office that he took [00:08:39] when he became a secret service agent [00:08:41] and um and to share information that he [00:08:43] should not be sharing because it's very [00:08:46] unlikely now I don't know this for [00:08:48] certain but it's very unlikely that this [00:08:51] undercover journalist is the only person [00:08:53] he shared this information with and [00:08:55] that's what a real counter intelligence [00:08:56] investigation would want to know it's [00:08:58] unlikely you can't say it I mean I I [00:09:01] don't know it, but it's extremely [00:09:02] unlikely. [00:09:03] >> Thank you, Laura. Thank you for your for [00:09:05] your time. Uh Laura Logan with her [00:09:07] reaction. We have one more reaction. Uh [00:09:10] we have one more individual that we like [00:09:11] to have on. Bill Stanton, uh is in the [00:09:14] waiting room. And if we could please [00:09:16] update our viewers with the news. This [00:09:19] is Thomas A. Esscato, US Secret Service [00:09:22] agent, supposed to be protecting JD [00:09:24] Vance's life, giving away location [00:09:26] information. [00:09:28] Um, I mean, no, I I I don't think we [00:09:31] should play the Well, people, this is a [00:09:33] live show. We're going to be posting the [00:09:34] video here in a minute on X. Uh, but you [00:09:38] know, you know, go go ahead and play a [00:09:39] different part of the video. For [00:09:40] example, uh, the section where where he [00:09:43] was on the military base and we had to [00:09:47] redact some of this. Go back. Go back a [00:09:49] moment. There you go. Play that part. [00:09:51] actual detail, but they're different [00:09:52] because we have different shift. [00:09:59] >> Via text, JD Vance's Secret Service [00:10:02] agent informs the stranger when he has [00:10:04] picked up JD Vance's wife and even [00:10:07] mentions that he and Vance are currently [00:10:10] at [00:10:12] Tomas. even sends a selfie from inside a [00:10:15] [music] [00:10:18] JD Vance's residence at the Naval [00:10:20] Observatory. It's basically a secure [00:10:22] location while the Secret Service is [00:10:26] surveilling the vice president's home. [00:10:28] Now, while he's supposed to be guarding [00:10:29] the vice president's property, Tomas is [00:10:32] busy snapping selfies, texting our [00:10:34] journalist. Now, here's a picture that [00:10:36] Tomas sent us taking off from Joint Base [00:10:39] Andrews Air Force Base. [00:10:41] convoy vehicle going into the airport. [00:10:42] >> We're going to post all of it in a [00:10:43] minute. So, Bill Stanton has appeared as [00:10:45] a safety and security contributor to [00:10:47] NBC's Today Show and ABC's Good Morning [00:10:49] America, former NYPD. Uh he lives and [00:10:52] works in New York. Do we have Bill [00:10:53] Stanton on the air? [00:10:59] Okay, we have him on speakerphone.

We're going [00:11:12] to stand by for him. He should He'd be [00:11:14] uh going to be calling in in a moment. [00:11:24] We're standing by for Bill Stanton. His [00:11:26] reaction. [00:11:28] Nope. Okay, we're going to give him a [00:11:30] call back in just a minute. We're going [00:11:31] to go to a a quick break. We're going to [00:11:33] come back with another guest reacting to [00:11:36] this security issues both for citizen [00:11:39] journalists, myself, um, a very brave [00:11:43] young man, Nick Shirley. We're going to [00:11:44] have Brandon Tatum on to talk about some [00:11:46] security issues that we're going to have [00:11:47] as a result of this work. So, I'll see [00:11:49] you in a minute. This is James O'Keefe. [00:11:52] You know me for exposing the truth and [00:11:54] holding the corrupt elite accountable.

[00:14:02] All right, let's talk healthcare because [00:14:04] the system we're standing up to the [00:14:06] powers that tried to discredit us, [00:14:08] silence us, smear us, raid us, and throw [00:14:11] us [music] in jail. [00:14:13] They've awakened a sleeping giant. We're [00:14:16] building a movement of transparency and [00:14:18] accountability [music] in both the [00:14:19] public and private sectors because we [00:14:22] run from nothing. We hide from nothing. [00:14:24] And when you join and get your full [00:14:27] access pass, you fuel [music] a movement [00:14:29] for truth. You, we [00:14:33] are the media now. [00:14:36] We're standing up to the powers that [00:14:38] tried to discredit us, silence us, smear [00:14:41] us, raid us, and throw us in jail. [00:14:45] They've awakened a sleeping giant. We're [00:14:47] building a movement of transparency [00:14:49] [music] and accountability in both the [00:14:51] public and private sectors because we [00:14:53] run [00:14:55] All right, we're back at the price of my [00:14:57] life. We apologize the first stream was [00:14:59] interrupted. We were approaching a [00:15:00] quarter million viewers. And now we're [00:15:03] going to have Brandon Tatum on the [00:15:05] phone. Is he on speaker phone? All [00:15:08] right. [00:15:10] Awesome. [00:15:16] >> Hello. [00:15:16] >> Hey there, it's James O'Keefe. [00:15:19] >> Hey, James. How you doing? [00:15:20] >> Hey, that you're live on the air here. [00:15:22] Um uh just wanted to get your I don't [00:15:25] know if you had a chance to see this uh [00:15:26] Secret Service story we just broke, but [00:15:28] uh uh you have a chance to see that. [00:15:31] >> I did and it's out of control. [00:15:32] >> Well, first let me get your reaction to [00:15:34] that. Uh cuz you're a security [00:15:36] professional. You do you do work with [00:15:38] security and I just want to get your [00:15:40] thoughts on this compromise and they're [00:15:43] saying they're doing anti-espionage [00:15:44] training. but also and you're a guy [00:15:46] who's protecting Nick Shirley who's [00:15:48] another citizen journalist and in this [00:15:52] memo they attack citizen journalism. So [00:15:54] I just want to get your reaction to all [00:15:55] of it. [00:15:57] >> Yeah, I think it's absolutely uh acidon [00:16:00] that you have somebody working for the [00:16:02] Secret Service that's sworn uh to uphold [00:16:05] privacy of security individuals and [00:16:08] they're disclosing stuff on a tinder [00:16:11] date. It's absolutely out of control. [00:16:14] And and what what's scary or even more [00:16:16] troublesome is how pervasive is this? [00:16:18] You know, how many people are [00:16:20] susceptible to sexual encounters that [00:16:22] will cause them to disclose personal [00:16:24] information of one of the most [00:16:25] invaluable people to protect on planet [00:16:27] Earth, which is the vice president. And [00:16:30] so it's it's very troubling. You would [00:16:31] think uh in a secured environment where [00:16:34] you have clients, especially in the work [00:16:36] that we do, you have to have secrecy and [00:16:39] the clients have to be protected at all [00:16:41] costs. That's what you sign up for. And [00:16:43] the highest level of that is the federal [00:16:46] government protecting the president, the [00:16:48] vice president, and those who were in [00:16:50] power of the most powerful country on [00:16:52] planet Earth. So, it was very troubling [00:16:54] to see that breach, and I'm I'm hoping [00:16:56] that people are held accountable, not [00:16:58] only the person that you guys obviously [00:16:59] exposed, but I wonder how many other [00:17:02] people are are susceptible to to [00:17:03] disclosing information like this. Um, [00:17:05] you're protecting Nick Shirley and [00:17:07] you're offering security services for [00:17:09] for Nick Shirley. This the young man who [00:17:11] did the story in Minnesota broke the [00:17:14] biggest story of the year as far as I'm [00:17:15] concerned when it comes to citizen [00:17:17] journalism. I mean, what is your advice [00:17:19] to me who's busting these bad guys and [00:17:24] what do you think the biggest security [00:17:26] issues are with citizen journalists [00:17:28] doing this type of work? [00:17:30] >> Yeah, we we're Black Line Security [00:17:31] Operations is the security company that [00:17:33] supports Nick Shirley. I mean, we [00:17:35] protect him 24 hours a day and we [00:17:38] obviously have people that's traveling [00:17:39] with him anywhere he goes to make sure [00:17:41] he's safe. Um, and we have a special [00:17:44] thing that we created which is a [00:17:45] nonprofit side where we can raise money [00:17:48] to help uh fund Nick security without [00:17:51] him having to come out of pocket. And [00:17:53] the reason that we do that and and I'm I [00:17:55] experienced it myself as an influencer [00:17:57] and a person that needs protection is [00:17:59] that the protection is incredibly [00:18:01] expensive, especially for people [00:18:03] journalists. [00:18:04] >> I mean, it it varies. The threat level [00:18:06] of Nick Shirley needing 24-hour [00:18:08] security, it can be a lot of money. I [00:18:10] mean, you you're talking, I don't know, [00:18:12] anywhere between 60 to $100,000 a month, [00:18:15] potentially [00:18:16] >> hundred,000 a month. So, $1.2 million a [00:18:19] year for security possibly. [00:18:20] >> It very well. It very well could be, [00:18:22] especially if your threat level is very [00:18:24] high. Someone like Nick Shirley will [00:18:26] probably need over a million dollars to [00:18:28] protect him uh appropriately. You know, [00:18:30] anybody can hire, you know, someone to [00:18:32] come stand by him, but if you want real [00:18:34] protection, somebody that's a tier one [00:18:36] guy, like we we have people who are in [00:18:38] special forces that are protecting Nick [00:18:40] Shirley. So, if you, you know, want real [00:18:43] security and make sure that you're [00:18:44] actually going to survive encounters, [00:18:46] you you're going to have to pay for it. [00:18:47] And it's very expensive. And this is why [00:18:49] we have a nonprofit side of it to help [00:18:51] influencers who may not be able to [00:18:53] afford that type of security. [00:18:54] >> What's the name of the nonprofit? [00:18:57] >> It's Black Line Guardian Fund and those [00:19:00] people who are supportive can become a [00:19:02] guardian for not only Nick Shirley but [00:19:04] others who we intend to protect. But [00:19:06] Nick Shirley is is definitely our uh our [00:19:09] I guess top person that we're protecting [00:19:11] right now. [00:19:11] >> Who's on your board? [00:19:14] So, right now we we we don't want to [00:19:16] disclose everybody that's on our board [00:19:17] at this point, but uh we do have people [00:19:20] who are they have security background on [00:19:22] our board, people who have run [00:19:24] nonprofits and different things like [00:19:26] that. But, uh we'll be releasing that [00:19:27] shortly. [00:19:28] >> Is it a new I mean, you file a 990, it's [00:19:31] a public tax return, so you'd have to [00:19:32] disclose your board members unless [00:19:33] you're brand new. [00:19:34] >> Yeah. No, 100%. No, 100%. We're brand [00:19:36] we're brand new. That's that's one of [00:19:37] the reasons why. Um, [00:19:38] >> yeah, we we just started a few months [00:19:41] ago and and we we getting hitting the [00:19:43] ground running. [00:19:43] >> Well, um, uh, why why why should Shirley [00:19:46] start his own nonprofit and be the [00:19:48] chairman and have would you recommend [00:19:50] that or what's your thoughts on on that? [00:19:53] Because right now people are giving to [00:19:54] your nonprofit to to fund the security [00:19:57] that you're offering. Uh, how do you [00:19:59] think that should work for the future of [00:20:01] citizen journalism? Yeah, I mean we make [00:20:04] it simple for him and I I don't think [00:20:06] Nick Shirley or any citizen journalist [00:20:07] should have to worry about any of that [00:20:08] stuff, man. You know, starting a [00:20:10] nonprofit is a headache to be quite [00:20:12] honest in some ways. So, you got a lot [00:20:14] of nuance, you got a lot you got to [00:20:16] manage the board and all this other [00:20:17] stuff, I would suggest if a person just [00:20:20] wants to do it and and that's their [00:20:21] passion, then they should go and and do [00:20:23] what they [00:20:24] >> mean. I I don't think there's anything [00:20:25] passionate about the paperwork involved [00:20:26] in starting a 51c. But it's a very [00:20:28] interesting it's a very interesting [00:20:29] question. liability. Yeah, it's a [00:20:31] liability side of it as well. So, we try [00:20:33] to make it easy for young journalists [00:20:36] and people who are doing it, they need [00:20:37] to focus on what they're doing and we [00:20:39] can help them on the other side. And [00:20:41] this we have contracts that we sign with [00:20:43] them. Um, it's 100% the money that is [00:20:46] given to them to support their security [00:20:48] go to their security. It don't go to [00:20:49] anything else. And and to be honest, [00:20:51] right now that we're new, we don't have [00:20:52] any real overhead in the nonprofit side. [00:20:55] So, 100% of everything goes directly to [00:20:58] the people that we support. None of us [00:21:00] get paid in a nonprofit and it's never [00:21:01] my intent for anybody to to make a [00:21:04] profit on the nonprofit side. It's [00:21:05] literally supposed to go to securing [00:21:07] these young people because we need them [00:21:09] to stay alive and then we need them to [00:21:11] do their job. You know, just like you, [00:21:12] James. I mean, you you're out there [00:21:14] doing the Lord's work and we need you to [00:21:16] stay alive and stay protected and safe [00:21:18] where you feel confident to be [00:21:20] effective. And I don't want the, you [00:21:22] know, these these journalists to be [00:21:24] worried about the nuance and the and the [00:21:26] and the rubbish when it comes to the [00:21:28] only C3 legal issues. [00:21:30] >> Well, I'll tell you what, the only the [00:21:31] only way I push back a little bit and [00:21:33] and I'm very transparent, so forgive me [00:21:35] for saying this on the air, but uh I [00:21:37] think it's I I think with Nick Shirley [00:21:40] and you know, I mean, I've lived this in [00:21:42] my own life, they are going to punch [00:21:45] back hard in one of three ways. [00:21:48] spiritually [00:21:50] uh in your profession what your [00:21:52] specialty is in guarding against [00:21:53] physically and probably the most [00:21:56] difficult thing that I've experienced is [00:21:57] legally legally. And that means lawsuits [00:22:02] and I and I and I heard him say [00:22:03] something to the effect of well I [00:22:04] haven't done anything wrong therefore [00:22:06] I'll be okay and and I think and and I [00:22:09] and I and I think that that's true. He [00:22:12] didn't do anything wrong but that won't [00:22:14] stop them. So they're going to hit you [00:22:16] in three ways and we got to be prepared. [00:22:19] >> Um so I would [00:22:20] >> and and this Yeah. Exactly, James. And [00:22:22] and I think this is why we do this as a [00:22:24] joint effort. We team up. We fight back [00:22:27] everybody together, you know, and we [00:22:29] have the 501c3 side. We have legal a [00:22:31] legal team associated. So we we're we're [00:22:34] covering ourselves as far as legitimacy [00:22:36] sake. But if they want to fight, then we [00:22:38] need to bring the fight to them. We we [00:22:39] cannot back down. We cannot be afraid. [00:22:42] We cannot let them win. finances should [00:22:44] not be an issue when it comes to [00:22:46] protecting uh the young people that are [00:22:48] out here doing the Lord's work. That's [00:22:49] just my thought process. [00:22:50] >> It's one of the great challenges with [00:22:51] journalism. It's it's you know when you [00:22:53] make journalism a commodity [00:22:56] uh it's tough and that's why the [00:22:58] nonprofit route is great. Thank you uh [00:23:00] Brandon Tatum for coming on the air [00:23:02] providing security for Nick Shirley [00:23:04] reacting the Secret Service. Thank you [00:23:05] very much and I'll talk to you offline [00:23:06] real soon. Thank you. [00:23:08] >> God bless you. God bless. Thank you. [00:23:10] >> All right. Well, that wraps the show [00:23:11] today. Hey, we're about to post the [00:23:12] video. You've all been waiting for the [00:23:14] secret service. One more thing. Um, you [00:23:17] know, we are all going to have to [00:23:18] increase my security. I got these bags. [00:23:21] Escape zone. You know, it's like those [00:23:23] special bags where you put your phone in [00:23:25] the bag so no one can hear you. [00:23:28] And I actually got these. I'm I'm [00:23:30] increasing my own security. Like I don't [00:23:32] just mean like physical security. I just [00:23:34] mean people trying to get you, you know, [00:23:37] listen to you, spy on you. They're [00:23:40] they're lined with some special [00:23:41] material. So when I when I meet with [00:23:42] people now, I put them in the bags. I [00:23:45] mean, I'm not even the Secret Service, [00:23:46] but you got to have basic operational [00:23:48] security. Thank you very much, everyone. [00:23:50] Join us next Tuesday. Every Tuesday at [00:23:52] 1:00 live Eastern time, we break our [00:23:57] stories.
