[00:00:00] Uh, I don't even know where to begin. [00:00:01] Where do you want to begin? [00:00:03] >> Um, let's begin on the day that this [00:00:05] happened because that's when things were [00:00:07] kind of wild. Actually, I'm going to go [00:00:08] back a couple weeks before that. [00:00:09] >> Okay. [00:00:10] >> So, this was the third time that the [00:00:12] House was debating passage of this bill. [00:00:16] The first time they debated it, [00:00:18] everybody was removed from the gallery [00:00:20] because the trans activists had kind of [00:00:22] a what we called a transurrection. They [00:00:24] unfurled banners. They um [00:00:26] >> trans what? [00:00:27] >> Transurction. Oh, trans surrection. I [00:00:30] thought you said trans erection. [00:00:31] >> No, no, that was a generation. That's a [00:00:33] whole different issue. [00:00:34] >> Okay. Transurrection continued. [00:00:36] >> And uh so everybody was removed from the [00:00:38] gallery. We couldn't debate the bill. Um [00:00:41] the second time there was a point of [00:00:43] order. It was very shortlived. And so [00:00:45] the third time, you know, we were [00:00:46] anticipating this would pass. We would [00:00:48] be successful. uh myself and dozens of [00:00:51] other activists um conservative [00:00:54] activists were in the audience wearing [00:00:56] matching red shirts and um that said [00:00:59] save Texas kids. Uh during a lull we [00:01:03] took a bathroom break. I escorted some [00:01:05] of the older females I was carrying that [00:01:08] day and we anticipated that there might [00:01:10] be something um hinky happening and you [00:01:13] know the that transurrection [00:01:15] I'm trying to say it in a way that's not [00:01:18] confusing. Um one of the activists the [00:01:22] trans activists like hit my hand to try [00:01:24] to take my phone away. They were [00:01:25] screaming. They were berating us getting [00:01:27] in our faces. So just to kind of add [00:01:29] some protection I took them to the [00:01:32] restroom. This man walks in, took who to [00:01:35] the restroom. [00:01:35] >> These ladies with me, the the other [00:01:37] conservative activists, ladies. [00:01:39] >> Um, while we're in line, a man walks in [00:01:43] very clearly, a man, you know, besides [00:01:45] the pink hair, nothing. [00:01:47] >> That's the That's the individual in the [00:01:49] photograph. [00:01:50] >> Yes. [00:01:50] >> Okay. [00:01:51] >> Um, we allowed him to go before us, do [00:01:54] his business. He came out, uh, was [00:01:57] washing his hands. I held the door open [00:02:00] to the whole restroom. So, what's [00:02:03] notable is like in that situation, [00:02:05] everybody can see inside that space. [00:02:07] There's you can't see the stalls, but [00:02:08] you can see who's lined up and who's [00:02:10] drying their hands. So, um it's not [00:02:12] really a private area. Uh as he was [00:02:15] leaving, I said, "Please use the [00:02:17] restroom across the hall next time. This [00:02:19] is not a men's space." And he said, [00:02:22] "Well, I'm legally a woman." Um [00:02:25] go back to the gallery. A friend of mine [00:02:27] says, "Hey, did you hear that they there [00:02:29] was a man in the restroom?" I'm like, I [00:02:30] said, "Yeah, I was in there." He said, [00:02:32] "Well, so and so put it on Facebook." He [00:02:35] sent me the picture. I did a a tweet [00:02:38] about it, next post, and it just went [00:02:41] viral really quickly, which had never [00:02:43] happened to me before. So, it was a very [00:02:45] odd experience to be happening in real [00:02:47] time. [00:02:48] >> Um, one and a half million views, [00:02:50] tweeted 15, like retweeted 1500 times. [00:02:54] Um, and people were making comments, [00:02:57] trans activists were making comments [00:02:58] like, "I'm going to report you to the [00:03:00] DA, to DPS, tagging Capital DPS." And [00:03:05] within a few hours, a DPS lieutenant, [00:03:07] Department of Public Safety Lieutenant [00:03:08] came over and took me aside and said, [00:03:10] "Hey, we need to talk to you about [00:03:11] this." Um, they took Go ahead. [00:03:14] >> Sorry. Sorry. Finished. [00:03:15] >> They took me to a a holding office and [00:03:19] asked me about the photo. I said I [00:03:21] didn't take it. And that's pretty much [00:03:22] where the conversation ended. [00:03:25] >> Did you tell the individual to take the [00:03:27] photo? Did you participate in or did [00:03:30] they just do it without you? [00:03:32] >> They did it. I didn't know when as far [00:03:34] as I know, that's settled constitutional [00:03:36] law. Like if someone else takes a photo, [00:03:38] you're allowed to publish it. [00:03:39] >> Yeah. I mean, it's it's what they're [00:03:41] trying to investigate me for is a state [00:03:43] jail felony sex crime. [00:03:46] So [00:03:47] >> for the publication of someone else's [00:03:49] father? [00:03:49] >> Yes. transmitting uh a recording or a [00:03:52] photo of somebody in a private space [00:03:55] without their consent [00:03:58] with the intent of um sexualizing a [00:04:02] photo in some way which clearly this was [00:04:04] not some state law and pardon me I [00:04:07] haven't looked into the particular law [00:04:08] but it seems to me a matter of federal [00:04:11] law there's a case called Bart Nikki [00:04:13] voper which I know about because of the [00:04:15] FBI rate against me with the Ashley [00:04:16] Biden diary that if somebody else breaks [00:04:18] the law even If even if the photographer [00:04:21] broke the law, your publication of it [00:04:24] shouldn't be illegal. That's that's what [00:04:25] I know to be settled United States [00:04:27] Supreme Court president. [00:04:28] >> Well, and this man had already announced [00:04:30] that he was a uh a candidate for Texas [00:04:33] House. So, it's also in our mind [00:04:36] political protected political speech [00:04:38] because it's kind of a no no holds [00:04:41] barred when it's a politician. You know, [00:04:43] there's the I guess it was like Larry [00:04:47] Flint. Mhm. [00:04:49] >> Um used to do a lot of satire about [00:04:51] public figures. So that kind of changes [00:04:53] the game too. But um and plus it was [00:04:57] retweeted by 1500 people. You know, I [00:05:00] didn't take the photo. I published it. [00:05:01] These people republished it by [00:05:03] retweeting it. So including trans [00:05:05] activists, but none of them are being [00:05:07] pursued. [00:05:09] >> Do you know of any other cases like this [00:05:11] where someone took a photograph in a [00:05:14] bathroom of a transgender individual? [00:05:17] Um, the only one that I'm aware of is [00:05:20] Payton McNab, who is a female athlete. [00:05:22] Um, in her college [00:05:26] uh, bathroom, there was a man dressed as [00:05:29] a woman. She took video of that person [00:05:31] and told them to leave essentially. And [00:05:34] I think she was removed from her [00:05:35] sorority. She was threatened with [00:05:38] expulsion. Um, but nothing happened to [00:05:40] the man. [00:05:41] >> No, no criminal actions. So, there's a [00:05:44] lot to unpack here. In no particular [00:05:46] order, the officer that confronted you, [00:05:49] do you think he was just doing your job [00:05:50] or do you think he agreed with the [00:05:52] transgender movement activities? [00:05:54] >> I think he was just doing his job. I've [00:05:56] spoken with him subsequently and he's I [00:05:59] wouldn't say that he's supportive, but [00:06:00] he's been very communicative. [00:06:02] >> Um, and if we could go team back to that [00:06:06] fifth circuit court of appeals document [00:06:08] from December 9th, 2025. So this this [00:06:12] got its way into federal court. Is that [00:06:14] right? [00:06:15] >> About a month after this happened, we [00:06:17] sued. [00:06:18] >> You sued as a plaintiff. You sued in the [00:06:20] in the district court. [00:06:21] >> And then tell me about the journey [00:06:24] >> when from the time you sued, this is [00:06:26] last month [00:06:27] >> filed in the fifth circuit. How did that [00:06:29] go? [00:06:30] >> Um we initially filed for an injunction. [00:06:33] Um, but DA Garza said, you know, as long [00:06:37] as this is pending litigation, we'll [00:06:40] pause the criminal investigation. Well, [00:06:43] in December 9th, in a two-1 opinion, the [00:06:45] Fifth Circuit said, "No need to pause. [00:06:47] Move forward." Um, this is [00:06:49] >> move forward. Yeah. [00:06:50] >> With the criminal investigation. [00:06:51] >> Yes. [00:06:52] >> Really? [00:06:52] >> Yeah. [00:06:53] >> So, this is this is the order uh from [00:06:56] from the uh United States District Court [00:06:58] for the Western District of Texas. Mhm. [00:07:00] >> Um and they and they mentioned this [00:07:03] penal code. Oh, here we go. [00:07:04] >> Yep. [00:07:05] >> Um we have the document if we want to [00:07:07] throw that on the screen. [00:07:09] Um [00:07:10] Evans team, this is penal code 1235. I [00:07:13] want to pull that up. By the way, just [00:07:14] do you know the penal code by I'll pull [00:07:16] it up in a moment. But [00:07:17] >> it's invasive visual recording. [00:07:19] >> What is it? [00:07:19] >> Invasive visual recording. [00:07:21] >> Invasive visual recording. [00:07:23] >> Yes. With the intent to invade [00:07:24] somebody's privacy. [00:07:25] >> I see. [00:07:27] Um, [00:07:29] do you think they have a point? Just [00:07:30] like what if it wasn't a transgender [00:07:32] individual? Is it what are you what is [00:07:35] your argument about whether the person [00:07:38] who took the photograph invaded privacy? [00:07:41] >> Um, I mean, you can't see the man's [00:07:43] face. [00:07:44] >> Um, it wasn't intended to invade his [00:07:47] privacy. He's never been named publicly, [00:07:50] at least not by me. The person that took [00:07:52] the photograph has no idea who he is. [00:07:55] Um, it was to make a political statement [00:07:58] and just to make a a statement about [00:08:01] biological reality, like you do not [00:08:03] belong here. Please don't be in this [00:08:06] space. Um, what's interesting is a [00:08:09] couple of things have changed since May [00:08:11] of 2023. This statute has changed where [00:08:15] anybody who is convicted of this [00:08:18] particular crime has to register as a [00:08:21] sex offender. So, yeah. [00:08:25] You know, I I in the weeks after this [00:08:27] happened, my biggest fear was, do I am I [00:08:30] going to be convicted and have to [00:08:32] register as a sex offender, maybe lose [00:08:34] my children as a result of that? [00:08:37] >> You have to go to trial, [00:08:38] >> right? [00:08:39] >> When is that scheduled? [00:08:40] >> Um, there has been no indictment that [00:08:42] I'm aware of. I check the the warrant [00:08:45] search database a few times a week to [00:08:47] see if he's filed a warrant against me, [00:08:49] and nothing has been filed so far. [00:08:51] >> How long do they have? When's the [00:08:52] statute of limitations expire? dismay. [00:08:54] >> So, just a few. [00:08:55] >> What do you think is going to happen? [00:08:57] >> I mean, honestly, I think that he will [00:08:59] just sit on it, but I'm not really [00:09:01] willing to take that risk. [00:09:03] >> It's one of those things where, and [00:09:05] we're going to unpack this here over the [00:09:07] next hour, but it seems to me, just [00:09:09] having learned about this and, you know, [00:09:11] and going through what I've been through [00:09:13] that you probably will win as long as [00:09:14] you don't give up. [00:09:15] >> Right. Right. [00:09:17] >> That's the bottom line. This is James [00:09:19] O'Keefe. You know me for exposing the [00:09:20] truth and holding the corrupt elite [00:09:23] responsible and accountable. However, [00:09:25] today I want to tell you about [00:09:26] protecting your own freedom, your [00:09:28] finances. Right now, the warning signs [00:09:31] are everywhere. Gold just shattered [00:09:33] another record, soaring above $3,750 [00:09:37] an ounce and climbing towards $4,000. [00:09:40] That's over 44% this year alone. Goldman [00:09:42] Sachs, JP Morgan, major banks are [00:09:45] forecasting targets ranging from 4,000 [00:09:47] to 5,000, even as high as 6,000 by the [00:09:51] end of 26. The economic storm clouds are [00:09:54] gathering fast. The Fed just cut rates [00:09:57] again, but inflation is proving stickier [00:09:59] than expected, creating a dangerous mix [00:10:02] of rising prices and economic [00:10:04] uncertainty. JP Morgan still sees a 50% [00:10:07] chance of recession while trade tensions [00:10:10] and geopolitical risks continue to [00:10:11] escalate. And let's not forget what's [00:10:13] happening overseas. From the ongoing [00:10:15] Russia Ukraine conflict to China's [00:10:17] economic challenges and persistent [00:10:19] deflationary pressures, the axes of [00:10:22] power continue conspiring to avoid [00:10:24] sanctions and Western influence, [00:10:26] undermining the dollar's dominance, [00:10:28] while central banks worldwide are [00:10:30] loading up on gold reserves at record [00:10:32] levels. That's why we and I have [00:10:36] partnered with American Independence [00:10:38] Gold. They're veteranowned and proceeds [00:10:41] from every sale go to Tunnel to Towers [00:10:43] Foundation, supporting our first [00:10:45] responders and nation's heroes. And [00:10:48] listen, right now, I'm offering my [00:10:50] followers in the trenches this [00:10:52] incredible one-time opportunity to [00:10:53] credit your account up to $10,000 in [00:10:56] free gold and silver on a qualifying [00:10:59] purchase.
