[00:00:00] So, we're in downtown Minneapolis. [00:00:05] >> What we found, NOS's and nonprofits [00:00:08] funded by the government, featuring true [00:00:10] believers. [00:00:11] >> Is this a door lock? [00:00:12] >> Lock the door. Why are you giving us the [00:00:14] middle finger? [00:00:18] >> Get out of there. [00:00:20] >> Our undercover people were inside the [00:00:22] mob. [00:00:25] >> Nationalation used to look up the road, [00:00:28] New York. Are there chats and stuff? I'm [00:00:30] trying to get linked up. Watch out. Here [00:00:32] we go. Here we go. [00:00:40] >> Not the [ __ ] [00:00:44] >> They threw something at me which hit the [00:00:46] back of my bulletproof vest. [00:00:51] >> They're everywhere. [00:00:52] >> The [ __ ] doors. Shut the door. Whoa. [00:00:54] Whoa. Whoa. They threw a a frozen ice [00:00:57] brick at the car. [00:01:08] Downtown Minneapolis the day before the [00:01:10] shooting of Alex Prey. They were still [00:01:12] protesting Renee Good. The O'Keefe team [00:01:15] rolled into town in an SUV with tinted [00:01:18] windows. They could not see inside. And [00:01:21] what's remarkable is they start cursing [00:01:23] at your car merely because it is an SUV, [00:01:26] which they all perceive to be feds. [00:01:29] >> It's a door locked. [00:01:30] >> Lock the door. [00:01:31] >> Why are you giving us the middle finger? [00:01:34] >> Ready, buddy? Get the [ __ ] out of here. [00:01:36] >> Here comes a guy. Don't loan. Do not. [00:01:39] >> Yeah, I don't know what he's doing. [00:01:41] >> No, don't [00:01:43] don't [00:01:45] see. [00:01:46] >> Just don't hit anybody. Okay. Usually, [00:01:48] I'm pretty confrontational, but we soon [00:01:50] realize the only way to deal with these [00:01:52] types of white walkers, or zombies, as [00:01:55] we call them, is to just not engage. [00:01:57] >> Roll up your window. Roll up your window [00:02:00] now. [00:02:01] >> Anything else would lead to escalation [00:02:03] and violence. [00:02:06] >> What the [ __ ] [00:02:08] >> It's safe to say that I've never seen [00:02:10] anything like this in my life. Just [00:02:12] driving down a street will have people [00:02:14] scream to you and curse at you and [00:02:16] threaten violence. In fact, independent [00:02:18] journalist Cam Higgby was nearby and [00:02:21] texted me at this time telling me that [00:02:23] trucks, Taho, Suburbans, SUVs are an [00:02:26] absolute nogo. He advised us to get a [00:02:28] Subaru or other mom car or Honda as he [00:02:31] said. He mentioned they would bank our [00:02:34] license plate. [00:02:38] Our [00:02:42] undercover people arrived at the tail [00:02:44] end of the protest that evening, [00:02:46] including myself. Watchdog, how you [00:02:48] doing? [00:02:49] >> What's going on? It's Jay O Connell. [00:02:51] Watchd Dog. Hey, dude. Hey, [00:02:53] >> my fiance is a teacher. [00:02:55] >> Is she? Where's What's your teach? [00:02:57] >> What's she teaching? [00:02:58] >> Special needs. [00:03:02] >> Where are we going? [00:03:03] >> WE'RE GOING TO BE A VICE AGENT. [00:03:05] >> Don't you have a a thing to call your [00:03:07] face? THIS [00:03:11] >> we heard chants of ice out and [ __ ] ice. [00:03:15] >> Ice out. Ice out. [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [00:03:20] [ __ ] [ __ ] [00:03:23] [ __ ] [00:03:24] >> Hopefully the audience will forgive this [00:03:26] reporter for participating in these [00:03:27] chants in order to fit in. [00:03:37] We found teachers, nurses, and union [00:03:40] organizers all telling us, "We [00:03:42] appreciate you, neighbor. [00:03:44] >> Appreciate you, neighbor. Appreciate [00:03:46] you, neighbor. I appreciate you, [00:03:47] neighbor." [00:03:48] >> A guy came by before and he stopped [00:03:50] here. It was a bunch of young kids. And [00:03:53] they handed out weed to everybody. [00:03:55] Really? [00:03:55] >> Yeah. [00:03:56] >> It was so cool. I gave all mine away, [00:03:59] all but a little bit cuz I wanted to at [00:04:01] least try it. You got anything better [00:04:03] than weed? Uh, [00:04:06] love. Are you a paid agitator? [00:04:09] Just kidding. While many probably many [00:04:11] of you might think this is all due to [00:04:14] some specific centralized funding [00:04:16] source, what we found is a hodgepodge of [00:04:20] various NOS and nonprofits loosely tied [00:04:23] together through ideology funded in part [00:04:26] by the government featuring 501c3s with [00:04:29] nonprofit tax returns, a variety of [00:04:31] funding sources. But most of these [00:04:33] people we found were actually true [00:04:35] believers there to live and die by their [00:04:39] cause. [00:04:40] >> What is this about? [00:04:47] >> This woman featured on a hidden camera [00:04:49] is Peggy Wang based in Boston. She works [00:04:52] at Massachusetts College of Art and [00:04:54] Design active in the Massachusetts [00:04:56] Teachers Association. She participates [00:04:58] in pro Palestinian protests and her job [00:05:01] is currently being threatened for doing [00:05:03] so. While this footage is hard to hear, [00:05:05] Peggy Wang lists the issues that her [00:05:07] organization gets involved in. [00:05:09] Immigration rights, abolishing ICE, [00:05:11] stopping raids and deportations, justice [00:05:13] for victims, and getting ICE out of [00:05:16] cities like Minneapolis. [00:05:21] >> That our unions definitely need to take [00:05:23] the fight against [00:05:27] back in the generator [00:05:30] for reproductive rights and healthcare [00:05:35] labor workers party [00:05:38] representation for working [00:05:44] is a party organization [00:05:48] independent socialist group. [00:05:52] This other protester we secretly [00:05:54] recorded talks about an organization [00:05:56] called Make the Road New York. We've [00:05:59] never heard of this organization, but [00:06:00] apparently they have a budget of $30 [00:06:02] million. They talk about one of the [00:06:04] speakers that spoke earlier that day, [00:06:06] April Vetti. April is the president of [00:06:08] the SEIU Labor Union. [00:06:10] >> I mean, if you're interested in an [00:06:12] immigrant right organization, um, you [00:06:15] should look up Make the Road New York. [00:06:18] >> Make the Road New York. [00:06:18] >> Make the Road New York. [00:06:19] >> But who are you with? I'm just with the [00:06:21] I'm uh with the union. [00:06:23] >> Oh yeah. S E I U Service Employees [00:06:27] International. [00:06:28] >> We looked up the tax returns of Make the [00:06:31] Road New York and found their registered [00:06:33] 501c3 that file a 990 and they received [00:06:36] $16 million in grants. [00:06:42] >> We love our neighbors. [00:06:44] >> As cars drove by, the agitators would [00:06:47] ride on top of the cars. One man's [00:06:49] spoiler was broken off his car as one [00:06:52] agitator tried to climb on board the [00:06:54] car. [00:06:58] >> What happened? [00:06:59] >> Oh, real bad. Just accidentally broke [00:07:03] his wing on his car. [00:07:05] >> Oh [ __ ] [00:07:07] >> They trapped the [ __ ] out of that. [00:07:10] >> One of the comments they made was [00:07:12] there's no blood here and you know [00:07:14] there's no Trump people. There's no MAGA [00:07:16] people because if there was there's [00:07:18] there would be blood. [00:07:19] >> One person had any lashes right through [00:07:23] here today. [00:07:23] >> Nope, not yet. [00:07:26] >> See any blood on the ground? [00:07:27] >> No, I don't see any blood. [00:07:29] >> That's how we know this. They haven't [00:07:31] showed up. [00:07:32] >> They haven't showed up. [00:07:33] >> One of the advantages of it being so [00:07:34] cold is we were able to cover every [00:07:36] single part of our skin. But these [00:07:38] conditions were truly dangerous. Many of [00:07:40] our DSLR cameras actually froze. Our [00:07:43] hidden cameras malfunctioned in minutes [00:07:46] because it was so cold. [00:07:47] >> You make this this your thing. [00:07:50] >> I made it for the Powder Horn Art [00:07:52] Festival cuz I want to melt ice and get [00:07:54] them the [ __ ] out of here. [00:07:55] >> It is not melting. [00:07:57] >> Oh, this is wood. [00:07:58] >> Oh, you know why? Cuz it's so cold out. [00:08:01] >> And we watched water freeze in seconds. [00:08:03] A bottle of water could quickly be [00:08:05] turned into a weapon. [00:08:07] >> 17° weather. Let's see what happens to [00:08:12] water. [00:08:13] Let's see how fast that freezes. [00:08:16] One, two, three. It's already frozen. [00:08:22] On our second day, January 24th, [00:08:25] something happened that we never [00:08:26] anticipated. [00:08:32] >> Oh [ __ ] What the [ __ ] [00:08:35] >> There was a second shooting. We were [00:08:37] only a few miles away when that [00:08:39] happened. [00:08:39] >> There was just a shooting. and any [00:08:41] updates that you while you were sitting [00:08:42] there, you guys reading the news. [00:08:44] >> Biggest updates that we have is that uh [00:08:46] the mayor just announced the mayor just [00:08:49] announced that uh you need to decide [00:08:51] what side you're on. Either you're on [00:08:53] the side of Minneapolis or you're on the [00:08:55] side of the federal government. Our [00:08:56] >> streets, [00:09:03] >> no justice, no peace. No justice, no [00:09:07] peace. Around noon local time, when [00:09:09] people started to descend, walking down [00:09:12] the street, mobs of people appeared out [00:09:15] of nowhere, all walking in the direction [00:09:17] of the shooting. We wondered, where did [00:09:19] these people come from? And how do they [00:09:20] know so quickly to mobilize? Our [00:09:22] undercover people were inside the mob. I [00:09:26] can't believe this happened again. I [00:09:28] drove down from Colorado to come [00:09:30] yesterday. We were going to leave today [00:09:33] and then all that just happened like the [00:09:36] community. [00:09:36] >> Yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean, [00:09:39] >> I know. A good time. I mean, like, I'm [00:09:40] glad you guys are here cuz Yeah. I don't [00:09:41] know what the [ __ ] is going on. Like, I [00:09:43] don't know how they're going to keep [00:09:44] getting away with this. [00:09:45] >> Are there are there like group are there [00:09:47] are there chats and stuff? I'm trying to [00:09:49] get linked up and stuff and I don't [00:09:53] >> um unfortunately just cuz you're out of [00:09:54] town or I don't know if I feel [00:09:56] comfortable like putting you in chats or [00:09:57] [ __ ] just cuz there's like so many [00:09:59] [ __ ] ops. [00:10:00] >> You know what I'm saying? Yeah, the [00:10:01] agitator confirms the reporting done by [00:10:04] citizen journalist Cam Higgby who posted [00:10:06] a video on X of all the signal chats. [00:10:09] The agitator talks about the signal [00:10:11] chats. Just seconds later after having [00:10:14] that conversation, our undercover [00:10:16] reporter was teargassed. [00:10:18] >> I'm not I'm not like I'm not I don't [00:10:20] feel comfortable like [00:10:21] >> Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just [00:10:24] drove down here me and my brother and [00:10:26] he's a film editor, so he's filming it. [00:10:28] Uhoh. Watch out. Watch out. Here we go. [00:10:30] YOU [ __ ] COWARD. [00:10:41] Our [00:10:53] undercover reporter was invited into the [00:10:55] lobby of a nearby apartment complex [00:10:57] where the agitators were wiping tear gas [00:10:59] off their face. [00:11:00] >> Oh [ __ ] I was [ __ ] with tear gas. [00:11:02] >> Yep. [00:11:04] >> Say I live here. If anybody needs in for [00:11:06] a second, [00:11:07] >> I got you. It stays like on your clothes [00:11:09] and burns. smell. You'll smell it on [00:11:11] your clothes [00:11:11] >> and it'll keep burning. That's great. [00:11:14] >> Go to go downstairs. [00:11:16] >> Right. Can I just sit right here, dude? [00:11:17] I just [00:11:29] >> shame on you. Shame on you. [00:11:33] >> Shame on you. Shame. Shame. Shame. When [00:11:39] that happened, I decided to arrive. We [00:11:41] rolled up about 10 blocks from the scene [00:11:44] of the tear gas. What struck me was this [00:11:47] was not a bad neighborhood. The [00:11:49] neighborhood looked like many of the [00:11:50] neighborhoods that you live in. And [00:11:52] immediately as we got out of the car, [00:11:54] four to five women asked us who we were [00:11:56] with. [00:11:57] >> I'd love to see some sort of media [00:12:01] period. Like I would love to see just [00:12:03] like your work [00:12:06] >> exposing my name and he's exposed to [00:12:10] what's happening. [00:12:11] >> Yeah. Stop taking pictures of me, bro. [00:12:13] Stop taking pictures. [00:12:16] >> No, you're not. [00:12:18] >> These guys are not pressed. [00:12:20] >> We We are pressed. [00:12:25] >> Yeah. [00:12:27] >> Eventually, I decided to identify myself [00:12:29] as a member of the press. specifically a [00:12:31] member of OK Media, as in O'Keeffe [00:12:34] Media. I even had a press badge. [00:12:38] >> Hand it to us. [00:12:39] >> If it's real, just hand it to her. [00:12:40] >> Yeah, I know. We're No, it's right here. [00:12:43] We'll give it back. [00:12:44] >> These guys are not press. I looked up [00:12:46] Okay Media. It's from Portugal. They're [00:12:48] not from Portugal. [00:12:49] >> Can I hold it? [00:12:50] >> Bizarrely, the agitator claimed that [00:12:52] Okay Media was Portuguese. [00:12:54] >> I looked up your [ __ ] website. It's [00:12:57] all Portuguese [00:12:58] >> and none of their work is political at [00:13:00] all. [00:13:01] >> What's fascinating about this [00:13:02] interaction is the statement from the [00:13:04] agitator, quote, "They're not political [00:13:07] at all." What dawned upon me in that [00:13:09] moment was it wasn't a good thing we [00:13:12] weren't political. It was actually a [00:13:14] liability. If you're not a member of [00:13:16] their team, if you don't believe exactly [00:13:19] what they believe, you are their enemy. [00:13:22] Even if you're neutral, you must be [00:13:24] destroyed or killed. Stop taking [00:13:26] pictures of people. [00:13:27] >> I'm not taking pictures. I'm taking [00:13:29] pictures of him. [00:13:30] >> Stop. Why? What the [ __ ] is the point? [00:13:32] >> Cuz we're pressed. [00:13:34] >> Show me the website. [00:13:39] >> These guys aren't press. [00:13:40] >> These guys are not press. [00:13:42] >> We are pressed. [00:13:43] >> These guys are not pressed. [00:13:46] >> Then they were able to ID me. A woman [00:13:49] pulled up my Wikipedia page, which [00:13:50] labeled me as a far-right activist, and [00:13:53] it went all downhill from there. [00:13:57] Not the [ __ ] [00:14:05] shame. [00:14:08] Shame [00:14:12] shame shame. Shame shame shame shame. [00:14:16] >> They threw something at me which hit the [00:14:19] back of my Kevlar plate. [00:14:24] Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. [00:14:27] >> My security determined this was an [00:14:29] unsafe situation. So, we retreated back [00:14:32] to the SUV. So, the key is when we get [00:14:34] to the car, we got to get in. Get out [00:14:35] right now. Okay. [00:14:38] But they continued to follow us. [00:14:41] >> Don't let the trigger. [00:14:47] All you can do is merely disengage and [00:14:50] try your best to get out, [00:14:53] but they follow you and they don't stop [00:14:55] following you. It felt like a horror [00:14:58] movie. This agitator attempted to [00:15:01] organize an army recruiting members of [00:15:03] the mob to follow us. [00:15:06] >> Those guys are feds. [00:15:08] >> Yeah. [00:15:12] >> These are fed. These guys are fed. [00:15:16] Our [00:15:19] cameraman actually pulled his mask down [00:15:21] to try to show them that we are actually [00:15:23] pressed. [00:15:27] >> If I was a fed, I wouldn't take off my [00:15:29] mask. [00:15:39] We got into the vehicle and they started [00:15:41] throwing projectiles at us, frozen water [00:15:45] bottles at us. One hit my security in [00:15:47] the back of the neck. [00:15:51] >> I am shooting. [00:15:55] >> Shoot. Shoot. [00:15:56] >> I'm shooting. [00:15:57] >> Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Ros the [00:16:02] we're pressed. [00:16:02] >> We're [ __ ] pressed. [00:16:03] >> We're pressed. [00:16:05] >> You know what the first amendment is? [00:16:07] >> Go. [00:16:11] >> Do you support the First Amendment? [00:16:14] >> Do you support the First Amendment? Yes [00:16:16] or no? [00:16:19] >> I'm against [ __ ] ICE. [00:16:20] >> You guys are yelling and throwing [00:16:22] things. We're not doing nothing. [00:16:23] >> Just assaulted us. We're prepped. [00:16:25] >> We are. We're trying. [00:16:29] All right. [00:16:31] >> No problem, bro. I got you, [00:16:32] >> man. They're just everywhere. Look. Turn [00:16:34] around. Turn around. They're everywhere. [00:16:36] >> Shut the [ __ ] doors. [00:16:37] >> Shut the door. [00:16:38] >> Shut the [ __ ] door. [00:16:41] >> They threw a a frozen [00:16:43] >> ice brick ice brick at the car. [00:16:46] >> Take off your vest quickly. [00:16:48] >> Yes. I'm going to [ __ ] bring a [00:16:52] throw back. [00:16:56] >> Yeah. I don't mean this. You could get [00:16:58] killed, man. I You could get killed. [00:17:00] There's no First Amendment anymore in [00:17:02] this country. [00:17:02] >> No, there's not. [00:17:03] >> It's It's over. Game over. Now there's [00:17:05] There's a cop. What is that? [00:17:07] >> An ambulance. Okay. [00:17:09] >> Um Yeah. Let me get Let me get out of [00:17:11] dodge and and regroup. But this is not [00:17:13] safe. This is not safe for you and I. [00:17:15] Okay. [00:17:17] >> So, we we were one became 20 became 100. [00:17:21] They just started assaulting us. They [00:17:22] started attacking us. And I I think my [00:17:24] realization is that we are head towards [00:17:25] a civil war in this country. There is [00:17:27] there is no way that's going to be [00:17:29] avoided. There's total lawlessness. They [00:17:31] don't care that we're press. Anybody who [00:17:34] is not on their side will be destroyed, [00:17:37] killed. Um, everyone's afraid. No one [00:17:40] wants to expose anything. It's all about [00:17:42] greed and money and power. Um, people [00:17:44] need to wake up because, you know, [00:17:46] that's what's the future looks like. [00:17:48] That's the future. I felt like we're in [00:17:50] a movie. Um, perhaps Children of Men [00:17:53] would be the would be the closest [00:17:54] metaphor I could see. Zombies attacking [00:17:57] the car, attacking you. Cartel guys, you [00:18:00] should put in the line in the sand. [00:18:02] Cartel was running away from me when I [00:18:04] pulled up with a press vest in in in [00:18:06] California. But here [00:18:09] they run they run toward they they throw [00:18:11] bricks at the police. They don't give a [00:18:14] [ __ ] [00:18:17] They're going to come for all everyone. [00:18:19] Oh, I'm just going to protect my [00:18:21] portfolio and make sure my kids are safe [00:18:24] behind my picket fence. Okay, for [00:18:26] another few years that'll work. [00:18:27] Eventually, they'll come for you. [00:18:29] >> We went back to our hotel. My undercover [00:18:31] reporter found spotters from their [00:18:33] groups spying on us, following us, and [00:18:36] reporting back to their signal chats. [00:18:39] >> I We We have to get out of the hotel. [00:18:41] >> James, go pack. [00:18:42] >> Okay, I need him with me. [00:18:43] >> Yeah, let's go. [00:18:44] >> We We have to get out of the hotel. They [00:18:48] got spotters in the hotel, so now we got [00:18:50] to get just out of Minneapolis. Come on. [00:18:53] We soon realized we had to change hotels [00:18:56] and moved to another location 30 minutes [00:18:58] away. [00:18:59] >> They took three pictures of us and then [00:19:00] now they're changing lanes and trying to [00:19:02] act like I didn't see him. [00:19:05] >> You want to slow down so we can figure [00:19:06] out what's going on? [00:19:10] >> Okay. He's slowing down, too. [00:19:11] >> Yep. [00:19:12] >> Dude, that's wild. [00:19:14] >> Yep. [00:19:14] >> People were following us on the freeway. [00:19:17] Reporter Cam Higgby also reported that [00:19:19] people were following him. Bet they turn [00:19:21] with us. [00:19:23] >> Yep, here they come. [00:19:24] >> White Chevy Silverado with the um newly [00:19:28] changed plates with the coexist sticker [00:19:30] on the back. We're on Irving and Lake [00:19:32] Street. We seem to be the only commuters [00:19:34] following. Um just wanted to give an [00:19:36] update on our location. [00:19:38] >> We aren't ICE. We are not Ice. [00:19:41] >> We're not Ice because you're [ __ ] [00:19:42] ice. [00:19:43] >> We're not Ice. [00:19:45] >> I'm showing my face. I'm not. [00:19:46] >> We've come too. We're not Ice. Yeah, [00:19:49] they've been following us for over an [00:19:50] hour. We're just letting them know in [00:19:52] and they [00:19:53] >> not in an ICE vehicle. Right. [00:19:55] >> Right. [00:19:56] >> RIGHT. GET IN YOUR TRUCK AND GET THE [00:19:57] [ __ ] OUT. [00:19:57] >> WHY? [00:19:58] >> Because you need to go. Confirmed ICE. [00:20:00] Get the [ __ ] out. [00:20:01] >> Confirmed ICE through who? We're [00:20:02] American citizens. We're not ICE. [00:20:04] >> To the people that you're abducting. Get [00:20:06] out. [00:20:06] >> It was incredible to see how people act [00:20:09] when they're stopped. It was impossible [00:20:11] to convince them that you are not ICE. [00:20:14] If you are not them, you are [00:20:16] automatically ICE. If you don't hear [00:20:19] your name called, they most likely think [00:20:21] you're a fed. That's actually better [00:20:24] than them thinking that you're James [00:20:25] O'Keefe. [00:20:27] It's better that you're a fed than James [00:20:29] O'Keefe, according to our source. But [00:20:31] again, if you thinking about don't try [00:20:32] this at home, but if you do, come here [00:20:35] to Minneapolis, get on the freeway, [00:20:37] exchange the SUV or the pickup truck for [00:20:40] a Subaru. You want to You want to look [00:20:42] like your mom. You want to look like [00:20:44] you're a teacher. You want to look like [00:20:46] you got that union union sticker on the [00:20:48] back of your car. You get that union [00:20:49] sticker put on your car. You do not want [00:20:51] to have an SUV like us. Lesson learned. [00:20:54] >> Let's Let's get inside the hotel. Yeah. [00:20:56] >> Upon getting to our next hotel, my [00:20:58] security detail showed me a text message [00:21:01] that he had received from what appeared [00:21:02] to be a burner number threatening to [00:21:04] kill us if we do not vacate the city of [00:21:06] Minneapolis within the next hour. We [00:21:09] just got this message and it says, um, [00:21:12] we know that you're in Minneapolis. [00:21:15] You're with O'Keefe and his crew of [00:21:17] Nazis. You're in a white Ford license [00:21:20] plate. They actually wrote the license [00:21:22] plate down from Florida. You have 1 hour [00:21:25] to leave or you're dead. You have 1 hour [00:21:28] to leave or you're dead. We're going to [00:21:30] contact law enforcement, DHS, and the [00:21:32] FBI. Um, and we're going to try to get [00:21:35] out of here safely so we can bring the [00:21:37] news to you. As I left Minneapolis, I [00:21:41] was very shaken by what I witnessed. And [00:21:44] all I could do was write down my [00:21:46] thoughts as I waited my production team [00:21:48] to go through the hidden camera footage [00:21:50] and identify some of the folks we spoke [00:21:52] with. And what I realized is that [00:21:55] self-preservation is the enemy of the [00:21:58] American people. In the Pelpeneisian [00:22:00] War, Fuclites says, "The strong do what [00:22:03] they can and the weak suffer what they [00:22:05] must. There is absolutely no [00:22:08] accountability in our country for those [00:22:10] who are actually engaged in wrongdoing. [00:22:14] And everything collapses when power [00:22:16] disparities grow. Justice, as you want [00:22:20] it, can only exist when there are [00:22:23] consequences. [00:22:24] But why be just if injustice pays [00:22:28] better? The Minneapolis police stood [00:22:31] down. They probably stood down because [00:22:34] there was no incentive for them to stand [00:22:37] up. People are only just if they're [00:22:40] being watched. And you might say that [00:22:43] this report and investigative journalism [00:22:45] doesn't matter if there are no [00:22:47] consequences. But remember that justice [00:22:50] only happens when they are being [00:22:53] watched. Remove oversight in the [00:22:56] journalistic sense and those incentives [00:22:59] that define human behavior will take [00:23:01] over. Profits of corruption are [00:23:04] immediate. Accountability or prison for [00:23:07] bad actors takes forever. And there [00:23:10] aren't enough prosecutors who can't be [00:23:12] bribed or threatened. [00:23:13] >> Get back. One of the most haunting [00:23:15] things I know is that people tend to [00:23:17] love money more than justice. They love [00:23:19] power more than truth and safety more [00:23:22] than doing the right thing. But perhaps [00:23:24] the only thing that these people fear is [00:23:28] exposure itself. And that's very good [00:23:31] news because at this point it may be our [00:23:34] only recourse. [00:23:37] This is James O'Keefe. You know me for [00:23:39] exposing the truth and holding the [00:23:40] corrupt elite accountable. But today, I [00:23:43] want to talk to you about protecting [00:23:44] your own freedom, your retirement. Now, [00:23:46] gold is soaring above 4,200 an ounce [00:23:49] right now and climbing towards $5,000. [00:23:51] That's up over 45% this year alone with [00:23:53] silver closing in on $60 an ounce. [00:23:56] Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and major [00:23:58] banks are now forecasting gold between [00:24:00] $5,000 and $6,000 within the next 6 to [00:24:02] 12 months. And that's why I've partnered [00:24:04] with American Independence Gold, a [00:24:06] veteranowned company where proceeds from [00:24:08] every sale help support the Tunnel to [00:24:10] Towers Foundation.

[00:00:00] So, we're in downtown Minneapolis. [00:00:05] >> What we found, NOS's and nonprofits [00:00:08] funded by the government, featuring true [00:00:10] believers. [00:00:11] >> Is this a door lock? [00:00:12] >> Lock the door. Why are you giving us the [00:00:14] middle finger? [00:00:18] >> Get out of there. [00:00:20] >> Our undercover people were inside the [00:00:22] mob. [00:00:25] >> Nationalation used to look up the road, [00:00:28] New York. Are there chats and stuff? I'm [00:00:30] trying to get linked up. Watch out. Here [00:00:32] we go. Here we go. [00:00:40] >> Not the [ __ ] [00:00:44] >> They threw something at me which hit the [00:00:46] back of my bulletproof vest. [00:00:51] >> They're everywhere. [00:00:52] >> The [ __ ] doors. Shut the door. Whoa. [00:00:54] Whoa. Whoa. They threw a a frozen ice [00:00:57] brick at the car. [00:01:08] Downtown Minneapolis the day before the [00:01:10] shooting of Alex Prey. They were still [00:01:12] protesting Renee Good. The O'Keefe team [00:01:15] rolled into town in an SUV with tinted [00:01:18] windows. They could not see inside. And [00:01:21] what's remarkable is they start cursing [00:01:23] at your car merely because it is an SUV, [00:01:26] which they all perceive to be feds. [00:01:29] >> It's a door locked. [00:01:30] >> Lock the door. [00:01:31] >> Why are you giving us the middle finger? [00:01:34] >> Ready, buddy? Get the [ __ ] out of here. [00:01:36] >> Here comes a guy. Don't loan. Do not. [00:01:39] >> Yeah, I don't know what he's doing. [00:01:41] >> No, don't [00:01:43] don't [00:01:45] see. [00:01:46] >> Just don't hit anybody. Okay. Usually, [00:01:48] I'm pretty confrontational, but we soon [00:01:50] realize the only way to deal with these [00:01:52] types of white walkers, or zombies, as [00:01:55] we call them, is to just not engage. [00:01:57] >> Roll up your window. Roll up your window [00:02:00] now. [00:02:01] >> Anything else would lead to escalation [00:02:03] and violence. [00:02:06] >> What the [ __ ] [00:02:08] >> It's safe to say that I've never seen [00:02:10] anything like this in my life. Just [00:02:12] driving down a street will have people [00:02:14] scream to you and curse at you and [00:02:16] threaten violence. In fact, independent [00:02:18] journalist Cam Higgby was nearby and [00:02:21] texted me at this time telling me that [00:02:23] trucks, Taho, Suburbans, SUVs are an [00:02:26] absolute nogo. He advised us to get a [00:02:28] Subaru or other mom car or Honda as he [00:02:31] said. He mentioned they would bank our [00:02:34] license plate. [00:02:38] Our [00:02:42] undercover people arrived at the tail [00:02:44] end of the protest that evening, [00:02:46] including myself. Watchdog, how you [00:02:48] doing? [00:02:49] >> What's going on? It's Jay O Connell. [00:02:51] Watchd Dog. Hey, dude. Hey, [00:02:53] >> my fiance is a teacher. [00:02:55] >> Is she? Where's What's your teach? [00:02:57] >> What's she teaching? [00:02:58] >> Special needs. [00:03:02] >> Where are we going? [00:03:03] >> WE'RE GOING TO BE A VICE AGENT. [00:03:05] >> Don't you have a a thing to call your [00:03:07] face? THIS [00:03:11] >> we heard chants of ice out and [ __ ] ice. [00:03:15] >> Ice out. Ice out. [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [00:03:20] [ __ ] [ __ ] [00:03:23] [ __ ] [00:03:24] >> Hopefully the audience will forgive this [00:03:26] reporter for participating in these [00:03:27] chants in order to fit in. [00:03:37] We found teachers, nurses, and union [00:03:40] organizers all telling us, "We [00:03:42] appreciate you, neighbor. [00:03:44] >> Appreciate you, neighbor. Appreciate [00:03:46] you, neighbor. I appreciate you, [00:03:47] neighbor." [00:03:48] >> A guy came by before and he stopped [00:03:50] here. It was a bunch of young kids. And [00:03:53] they handed out weed to everybody. [00:03:55] Really? [00:03:55] >> Yeah. [00:03:56] >> It was so cool. I gave all mine away, [00:03:59] all but a little bit cuz I wanted to at [00:04:01] least try it. You got anything better [00:04:03] than weed? Uh, [00:04:06] love. Are you a paid agitator? [00:04:09] Just kidding. While many probably many [00:04:11] of you might think this is all due to [00:04:14] some specific centralized funding [00:04:16] source, what we found is a hodgepodge of [00:04:20] various NOS and nonprofits loosely tied [00:04:23] together through ideology funded in part [00:04:26] by the government featuring 501c3s with [00:04:29] nonprofit tax returns, a variety of [00:04:31] funding sources. But most of these [00:04:33] people we found were actually true [00:04:35] believers there to live and die by their [00:04:39] cause. [00:04:40] >> What is this about? [00:04:47] >> This woman featured on a hidden camera [00:04:49] is Peggy Wang based in Boston. She works [00:04:52] at Massachusetts College of Art and [00:04:54] Design active in the Massachusetts [00:04:56] Teachers Association. She participates [00:04:58] in pro Palestinian protests and her job [00:05:01] is currently being threatened for doing [00:05:03] so. While this footage is hard to hear, [00:05:05] Peggy Wang lists the issues that her [00:05:07] organization gets involved in. [00:05:09] Immigration rights, abolishing ICE, [00:05:11] stopping raids and deportations, justice [00:05:13] for victims, and getting ICE out of [00:05:16] cities like Minneapolis. [00:05:21] >> That our unions definitely need to take [00:05:23] the fight against [00:05:27] back in the generator [00:05:30] for reproductive rights and healthcare [00:05:35] labor workers party [00:05:38] representation for working [00:05:44] is a party organization [00:05:48] independent socialist group. [00:05:52] This other protester we secretly [00:05:54] recorded talks about an organization [00:05:56] called Make the Road New York. We've [00:05:59] never heard of this organization, but [00:06:00] apparently they have a budget of $30 [00:06:02] million. They talk about one of the [00:06:04] speakers that spoke earlier that day, [00:06:06] April Vetti. April is the president of [00:06:08] the SEIU Labor Union. [00:06:10] >> I mean, if you're interested in an [00:06:12] immigrant right organization, um, you [00:06:15] should look up Make the Road New York. [00:06:18] >> Make the Road New York. [00:06:18] >> Make the Road New York. [00:06:19] >> But who are you with? I'm just with the [00:06:21] I'm uh with the union. [00:06:23] >> Oh yeah. S E I U Service Employees [00:06:27] International. [00:06:28] >> We looked up the tax returns of Make the [00:06:31] Road New York and found their registered [00:06:33] 501c3 that file a 990 and they received [00:06:36] $16 million in grants. [00:06:42] >> We love our neighbors. [00:06:44] >> As cars drove by, the agitators would [00:06:47] ride on top of the cars. One man's [00:06:49] spoiler was broken off his car as one [00:06:52] agitator tried to climb on board the [00:06:54] car. [00:06:58] >> What happened? [00:06:59] >> Oh, real bad. Just accidentally broke [00:07:03] his wing on his car. [00:07:05] >> Oh [ __ ] [00:07:07] >> They trapped the [ __ ] out of that. [00:07:10] >> One of the comments they made was [00:07:12] there's no blood here and you know [00:07:14] there's no Trump people. There's no MAGA [00:07:16] people because if there was there's [00:07:18] there would be blood. [00:07:19] >> One person had any lashes right through [00:07:23] here today. [00:07:23] >> Nope, not yet. [00:07:26] >> See any blood on the ground? [00:07:27] >> No, I don't see any blood. [00:07:29] >> That's how we know this. They haven't [00:07:31] showed up. [00:07:32] >> They haven't showed up. [00:07:33] >> One of the advantages of it being so [00:07:34] cold is we were able to cover every [00:07:36] single part of our skin. But these [00:07:38] conditions were truly dangerous. Many of [00:07:40] our DSLR cameras actually froze. Our [00:07:43] hidden cameras malfunctioned in minutes [00:07:46] because it was so cold. [00:07:47] >> You make this this your thing. [00:07:50] >> I made it for the Powder Horn Art [00:07:52] Festival cuz I want to melt ice and get [00:07:54] them the [ __ ] out of here. [00:07:55] >> It is not melting. [00:07:57] >> Oh, this is wood. [00:07:58] >> Oh, you know why? Cuz it's so cold out. [00:08:01] >> And we watched water freeze in seconds. [00:08:03] A bottle of water could quickly be [00:08:05] turned into a weapon. [00:08:07] >> 17° weather. Let's see what happens to [00:08:12] water. [00:08:13] Let's see how fast that freezes. [00:08:16] One, two, three. It's already frozen. [00:08:22] On our second day, January 24th, [00:08:25] something happened that we never [00:08:26] anticipated. [00:08:32] >> Oh [ __ ] What the [ __ ] [00:08:35] >> There was a second shooting. We were [00:08:37] only a few miles away when that [00:08:39] happened. [00:08:39] >> There was just a shooting. and any [00:08:41] updates that you while you were sitting [00:08:42] there, you guys reading the news. [00:08:44] >> Biggest updates that we have is that uh [00:08:46] the mayor just announced the mayor just [00:08:49] announced that uh you need to decide [00:08:51] what side you're on. Either you're on [00:08:53] the side of Minneapolis or you're on the [00:08:55] side of the federal government. Our [00:08:56] >> streets, [00:09:03] >> no justice, no peace. No justice, no [00:09:07] peace. Around noon local time, when [00:09:09] people started to descend, walking down [00:09:12] the street, mobs of people appeared out [00:09:15] of nowhere, all walking in the direction [00:09:17] of the shooting. We wondered, where did [00:09:19] these people come from? And how do they [00:09:20] know so quickly to mobilize? Our [00:09:22] undercover people were inside the mob. I [00:09:26] can't believe this happened again. I [00:09:28] drove down from Colorado to come [00:09:30] yesterday. We were going to leave today [00:09:33] and then all that just happened like the [00:09:36] community. [00:09:36] >> Yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean, [00:09:39] >> I know. A good time. I mean, like, I'm [00:09:40] glad you guys are here cuz Yeah. I don't [00:09:41] know what the [ __ ] is going on. Like, I [00:09:43] don't know how they're going to keep [00:09:44] getting away with this. [00:09:45] >> Are there are there like group are there [00:09:47] are there chats and stuff? I'm trying to [00:09:49] get linked up and stuff and I don't [00:09:53] >> um unfortunately just cuz you're out of [00:09:54] town or I don't know if I feel [00:09:56] comfortable like putting you in chats or [00:09:57] [ __ ] just cuz there's like so many [00:09:59] [ __ ] ops. [00:10:00] >> You know what I'm saying? Yeah, the [00:10:01] agitator confirms the reporting done by [00:10:04] citizen journalist Cam Higgby who posted [00:10:06] a video on X of all the signal chats. [00:10:09] The agitator talks about the signal [00:10:11] chats. Just seconds later after having [00:10:14] that conversation, our undercover [00:10:16] reporter was teargassed. [00:10:18] >> I'm not I'm not like I'm not I don't [00:10:20] feel comfortable like [00:10:21] >> Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just [00:10:24] drove down here me and my brother and [00:10:26] he's a film editor, so he's filming it. [00:10:28] Uhoh. Watch out. Watch out. Here we go. [00:10:30] YOU [ __ ] COWARD. [00:10:41] Our [00:10:53] undercover reporter was invited into the [00:10:55] lobby of a nearby apartment complex [00:10:57] where the agitators were wiping tear gas [00:10:59] off their face. [00:11:00] >> Oh [ __ ] I was [ __ ] with tear gas. [00:11:02] >> Yep. [00:11:04] >> Say I live here. If anybody needs in for [00:11:06] a second, [00:11:07] >> I got you. It stays like on your clothes [00:11:09] and burns. smell. You'll smell it on [00:11:11] your clothes [00:11:11] >> and it'll keep burning. That's great. [00:11:14] >> Go to go downstairs. [00:11:16] >> Right. Can I just sit right here, dude? [00:11:17] I just [00:11:29] >> shame on you. Shame on you. [00:11:33] >> Shame on you. Shame. Shame. Shame. When [00:11:39] that happened, I decided to arrive. We [00:11:41] rolled up about 10 blocks from the scene [00:11:44] of the tear gas. What struck me was this [00:11:47] was not a bad neighborhood. The [00:11:49] neighborhood looked like many of the [00:11:50] neighborhoods that you live in. And [00:11:52] immediately as we got out of the car, [00:11:54] four to five women asked us who we were [00:11:56] with. [00:11:57] >> I'd love to see some sort of media [00:12:01] period. Like I would love to see just [00:12:03] like your work [00:12:06] >> exposing my name and he's exposed to [00:12:10] what's happening. [00:12:11] >> Yeah. Stop taking pictures of me, bro. [00:12:13] Stop taking pictures. [00:12:16] >> No, you're not. [00:12:18] >> These guys are not pressed. [00:12:20] >> We We are pressed. [00:12:25] >> Yeah. [00:12:27] >> Eventually, I decided to identify myself [00:12:29] as a member of the press. specifically a [00:12:31] member of OK Media, as in O'Keeffe [00:12:34] Media. I even had a press badge. [00:12:38] >> Hand it to us. [00:12:39] >> If it's real, just hand it to her. [00:12:40] >> Yeah, I know. We're No, it's right here. [00:12:43] We'll give it back. [00:12:44] >> These guys are not press. I looked up [00:12:46] Okay Media. It's from Portugal. They're [00:12:48] not from Portugal. [00:12:49] >> Can I hold it? [00:12:50] >> Bizarrely, the agitator claimed that [00:12:52] Okay Media was Portuguese. [00:12:54] >> I looked up your [ __ ] website. It's [00:12:57] all Portuguese [00:12:58] >> and none of their work is political at [00:13:00] all. [00:13:01] >> What's fascinating about this [00:13:02] interaction is the statement from the [00:13:04] agitator, quote, "They're not political [00:13:07] at all." What dawned upon me in that [00:13:09] moment was it wasn't a good thing we [00:13:12] weren't political. It was actually a [00:13:14] liability. If you're not a member of [00:13:16] their team, if you don't believe exactly [00:13:19] what they believe, you are their enemy. [00:13:22] Even if you're neutral, you must be [00:13:24] destroyed or killed. Stop taking [00:13:26] pictures of people. [00:13:27] >> I'm not taking pictures. I'm taking [00:13:29] pictures of him. [00:13:30] >> Stop. Why? What the [ __ ] is the point? [00:13:32] >> Cuz we're pressed. [00:13:34] >> Show me the website. [00:13:39] >> These guys aren't press. [00:13:40] >> These guys are not press. [00:13:42] >> We are pressed. [00:13:43] >> These guys are not pressed. [00:13:46] >> Then they were able to ID me. A woman [00:13:49] pulled up my Wikipedia page, which [00:13:50] labeled me as a far-right activist, and [00:13:53] it went all downhill from there. [00:13:57] Not the [ __ ] [00:14:05] shame. [00:14:08] Shame [00:14:12] shame shame. Shame shame shame shame. [00:14:16] >> They threw something at me which hit the [00:14:19] back of my Kevlar plate. [00:14:24] Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. [00:14:27] >> My security determined this was an [00:14:29] unsafe situation. So, we retreated back [00:14:32] to the SUV. So, the key is when we get [00:14:34] to the car, we got to get in. Get out [00:14:35] right now. Okay. [00:14:38] But they continued to follow us. [00:14:41] >> Don't let the trigger. [00:14:47] All you can do is merely disengage and [00:14:50] try your best to get out, [00:14:53] but they follow you and they don't stop [00:14:55] following you. It felt like a horror [00:14:58] movie. This agitator attempted to [00:15:01] organize an army recruiting members of [00:15:03] the mob to follow us. [00:15:06] >> Those guys are feds. [00:15:08] >> Yeah. [00:15:12] >> These are fed. These guys are fed. [00:15:16] Our [00:15:19] cameraman actually pulled his mask down [00:15:21] to try to show them that we are actually [00:15:23] pressed. [00:15:27] >> If I was a fed, I wouldn't take off my [00:15:29] mask. [00:15:39] We got into the vehicle and they started [00:15:41] throwing projectiles at us, frozen water [00:15:45] bottles at us. One hit my security in [00:15:47] the back of the neck. [00:15:51] >> I am shooting. [00:15:55] >> Shoot. Shoot. [00:15:56] >> I'm shooting. [00:15:57] >> Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Ros the [00:16:02] we're pressed. [00:16:02] >> We're [ __ ] pressed. [00:16:03] >> We're pressed. [00:16:05] >> You know what the first amendment is? [00:16:07] >> Go. [00:16:11] >> Do you support the First Amendment? [00:16:14] >> Do you support the First Amendment? Yes [00:16:16] or no? [00:16:19] >> I'm against [ __ ] ICE. [00:16:20] >> You guys are yelling and throwing [00:16:22] things. We're not doing nothing. [00:16:23] >> Just assaulted us. We're prepped. [00:16:25] >> We are. We're trying. [00:16:29] All right. [00:16:31] >> No problem, bro. I got you, [00:16:32] >> man. They're just everywhere. Look. Turn [00:16:34] around. Turn around. They're everywhere. [00:16:36] >> Shut the [ __ ] doors. [00:16:37] >> Shut the door. [00:16:38] >> Shut the [ __ ] door. [00:16:41] >> They threw a a frozen [00:16:43] >> ice brick ice brick at the car. [00:16:46] >> Take off your vest quickly. [00:16:48] >> Yes. I'm going to [ __ ] bring a [00:16:52] throw back. [00:16:56] >> Yeah. I don't mean this. You could get [00:16:58] killed, man. I You could get killed. [00:17:00] There's no First Amendment anymore in [00:17:02] this country. [00:17:02] >> No, there's not. [00:17:03] >> It's It's over. Game over. Now there's [00:17:05] There's a cop. What is that? [00:17:07] >> An ambulance. Okay. [00:17:09] >> Um Yeah. Let me get Let me get out of [00:17:11] dodge and and regroup. But this is not [00:17:13] safe. This is not safe for you and I. [00:17:15] Okay. [00:17:17] >> So, we we were one became 20 became 100. [00:17:21] They just started assaulting us. They [00:17:22] started attacking us. And I I think my [00:17:24] realization is that we are head towards [00:17:25] a civil war in this country. There is [00:17:27] there is no way that's going to be [00:17:29] avoided. There's total lawlessness. They [00:17:31] don't care that we're press. Anybody who [00:17:34] is not on their side will be destroyed, [00:17:37] killed. Um, everyone's afraid. No one [00:17:40] wants to expose anything. It's all about [00:17:42] greed and money and power. Um, people [00:17:44] need to wake up because, you know, [00:17:46] that's what's the future looks like. [00:17:48] That's the future. I felt like we're in [00:17:50] a movie. Um, perhaps Children of Men [00:17:53] would be the would be the closest [00:17:54] metaphor I could see. Zombies attacking [00:17:57] the car, attacking you. Cartel guys, you [00:18:00] should put in the line in the sand. [00:18:02] Cartel was running away from me when I [00:18:04] pulled up with a press vest in in in [00:18:06] California. But here [00:18:09] they run they run toward they they throw [00:18:11] bricks at the police. They don't give a [00:18:14] [ __ ] [00:18:17] They're going to come for all everyone. [00:18:19] Oh, I'm just going to protect my [00:18:21] portfolio and make sure my kids are safe [00:18:24] behind my picket fence. Okay, for [00:18:26] another few years that'll work. [00:18:27] Eventually, they'll come for you. [00:18:29] >> We went back to our hotel. My undercover [00:18:31] reporter found spotters from their [00:18:33] groups spying on us, following us, and [00:18:36] reporting back to their signal chats. [00:18:39] >> I We We have to get out of the hotel. [00:18:41] >> James, go pack. [00:18:42] >> Okay, I need him with me. [00:18:43] >> Yeah, let's go. [00:18:44] >> We We have to get out of the hotel. They [00:18:48] got spotters in the hotel, so now we got [00:18:50] to get just out of Minneapolis. Come on. [00:18:53] We soon realized we had to change hotels [00:18:56] and moved to another location 30 minutes [00:18:58] away. [00:18:59] >> They took three pictures of us and then [00:19:00] now they're changing lanes and trying to [00:19:02] act like I didn't see him. [00:19:05] >> You want to slow down so we can figure [00:19:06] out what's going on? [00:19:10] >> Okay. He's slowing down, too. [00:19:11] >> Yep. [00:19:12] >> Dude, that's wild. [00:19:14] >> Yep. [00:19:14] >> People were following us on the freeway. [00:19:17] Reporter Cam Higgby also reported that [00:19:19] people were following him. Bet they turn [00:19:21] with us. [00:19:23] >> Yep, here they come. [00:19:24] >> White Chevy Silverado with the um newly [00:19:28] changed plates with the coexist sticker [00:19:30] on the back. We're on Irving and Lake [00:19:32] Street. We seem to be the only commuters [00:19:34] following. Um just wanted to give an [00:19:36] update on our location. [00:19:38] >> We aren't ICE. We are not Ice. [00:19:41] >> We're not Ice because you're [ __ ] [00:19:42] ice. [00:19:43] >> We're not Ice. [00:19:45] >> I'm showing my face. I'm not. [00:19:46] >> We've come too. We're not Ice. Yeah, [00:19:49] they've been following us for over an [00:19:50] hour. We're just letting them know in [00:19:52] and they [00:19:53] >> not in an ICE vehicle. Right. [00:19:55] >> Right. [00:19:56] >> RIGHT. GET IN YOUR TRUCK AND GET THE [00:19:57] [ __ ] OUT. [00:19:57] >> WHY? [00:19:58] >> Because you need to go. Confirmed ICE. [00:20:00] Get the [ __ ] out. [00:20:01] >> Confirmed ICE through who? We're [00:20:02] American citizens. We're not ICE. [00:20:04] >> To the people that you're abducting. Get [00:20:06] out. [00:20:06] >> It was incredible to see how people act [00:20:09] when they're stopped. It was impossible [00:20:11] to convince them that you are not ICE. [00:20:14] If you are not them, you are [00:20:16] automatically ICE. If you don't hear [00:20:19] your name called, they most likely think [00:20:21] you're a fed. That's actually better [00:20:24] than them thinking that you're James [00:20:25] O'Keefe. [00:20:27] It's better that you're a fed than James [00:20:29] O'Keefe, according to our source. But [00:20:31] again, if you thinking about don't try [00:20:32] this at home, but if you do, come here [00:20:35] to Minneapolis, get on the freeway, [00:20:37] exchange the SUV or the pickup truck for [00:20:40] a Subaru. You want to You want to look [00:20:42] like your mom. You want to look like [00:20:44] you're a teacher. You want to look like [00:20:46] you got that union union sticker on the [00:20:48] back of your car. You get that union [00:20:49] sticker put on your car. You do not want [00:20:51] to have an SUV like us. Lesson learned. [00:20:54] >> Let's Let's get inside the hotel. Yeah. [00:20:56] >> Upon getting to our next hotel, my [00:20:58] security detail showed me a text message [00:21:01] that he had received from what appeared [00:21:02] to be a burner number threatening to [00:21:04] kill us if we do not vacate the city of [00:21:06] Minneapolis within the next hour. We [00:21:09] just got this message and it says, um, [00:21:12] we know that you're in Minneapolis. [00:21:15] You're with O'Keefe and his crew of [00:21:17] Nazis. You're in a white Ford license [00:21:20] plate. They actually wrote the license [00:21:22] plate down from Florida. You have 1 hour [00:21:25] to leave or you're dead. You have 1 hour [00:21:28] to leave or you're dead. We're going to [00:21:30] contact law enforcement, DHS, and the [00:21:32] FBI. Um, and we're going to try to get [00:21:35] out of here safely so we can bring the [00:21:37] news to you. As I left Minneapolis, I [00:21:41] was very shaken by what I witnessed. And [00:21:44] all I could do was write down my [00:21:46] thoughts as I waited my production team [00:21:48] to go through the hidden camera footage [00:21:50] and identify some of the folks we spoke [00:21:52] with. And what I realized is that [00:21:55] self-preservation is the enemy of the [00:21:58] American people. In the Pelpeneisian [00:22:00] War, Fuclites says, "The strong do what [00:22:03] they can and the weak suffer what they [00:22:05] must. There is absolutely no [00:22:08] accountability in our country for those [00:22:10] who are actually engaged in wrongdoing. [00:22:14] And everything collapses when power [00:22:16] disparities grow. Justice, as you want [00:22:20] it, can only exist when there are [00:22:23] consequences. [00:22:24] But why be just if injustice pays [00:22:28] better? The Minneapolis police stood [00:22:31] down. They probably stood down because [00:22:34] there was no incentive for them to stand [00:22:37] up. People are only just if they're [00:22:40] being watched. And you might say that [00:22:43] this report and investigative journalism [00:22:45] doesn't matter if there are no [00:22:47] consequences. But remember that justice [00:22:50] only happens when they are being [00:22:53] watched. Remove oversight in the [00:22:56] journalistic sense and those incentives [00:22:59] that define human behavior will take [00:23:01] over. Profits of corruption are [00:23:04] immediate. Accountability or prison for [00:23:07] bad actors takes forever. And there [00:23:10] aren't enough prosecutors who can't be [00:23:12] bribed or threatened. [00:23:13] >> Get back. One of the most haunting [00:23:15] things I know is that people tend to [00:23:17] love money more than justice. They love [00:23:19] power more than truth and safety more [00:23:22] than doing the right thing. But perhaps [00:23:24] the only thing that these people fear is [00:23:28] exposure itself. And that's very good [00:23:31] news because at this point it may be our [00:23:34] only recourse. [00:23:37] This is James O'Keefe. You know me for [00:23:39] exposing the truth and holding the [00:23:40] corrupt elite accountable. But today, I [00:23:43] want to talk to you about protecting [00:23:44] your own freedom, your retirement. Now, [00:23:46] gold is soaring above 4,200 an ounce [00:23:49] right now and climbing towards $5,000. [00:23:51] That's up over 45% this year alone with [00:23:53] silver closing in on $60 an ounce. [00:23:56] Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and major [00:23:58] banks are now forecasting gold between [00:24:00] $5,000 and $6,000 within the next 6 to [00:24:02] 12 months. And that's why I've partnered [00:24:04] with American Independence Gold, a [00:24:06] veteranowned company where proceeds from [00:24:08] every sale help support the Tunnel to [00:24:10] Towers Foundation. And right now, my [00:24:12] followers get a free gold bar with every [00:24:14] purchase of $10,000 or more. Go to [00:24:16] oakmediagold.com. [00:24:18] That's okemediagold.com [00:24:20] or call 833324-4653. [00:24:24] That's 833324 [00:24:27] gold. This is James O'Keefe. Where [00:24:29] freedom isn't given, it's secured.
