Congressman Dan Crenshaw physically assaulted a right-wing reporter, Noel Fritsch, from National File. This incident adds to a pattern of anger management issues, like when Crenshaw punched a table during the Speaker vote. Such behavior is unacceptable for a U.S. Congressman.

WOW @DanCrenshawTX physically assaulted @NoelFritsch, a right wing reporter from @NationalFile today! Crenshaw is so unhinged. He has serious anger management issues. Remember when his knuckles were bloody during the Speaker vote in January because he got so angry with people who didn’t want to vote for @SpeakerMcCarthy, and decided to punch a table? Crenshaw is nuts. Totally unacceptable behavior from a U.S. Congressman.

Investigative Journalist reports Hamas Training Camp on the U.S. Mexico Border and the FBI show up on her front door steps. She believes they want to silence her and her source. https://t.co/6WgTk7vc1b
Video Transcript AI Summary
Sarah Fields, a Texas activist and journalist, recounts her encounter with the FBI. They wanted her to disclose her sources regarding stories she shared about the border. Sarah refused, citing the potential danger it could pose to her sources. The FBI persisted, even requesting a private meeting. Sarah declined and has since faced harassment from the agency. She has reported on disturbing incidents at the border, including pregnant women having their bellies cut open and drugs being hidden inside. She also exposed a Hamas training camp crossing the border. Sarah stands firm in her refusal to reveal her sources, as she believes the FBI has been weaponized against the right and does not prioritize protecting constitutional rights. She would rather go to jail than compromise her integrity.

Speaker 0: My name is Sarah Fields. I'm a Texas activist, a constitutional government advocate here in Texas. I work in legislation. I'm also an investigative journalist for the Publica. What is happening to me and my family As Americans on American soil is not okay.
A few weeks ago, the FBI Showed up at my door. They did not want information about the stories that I share. They did not want further information or details about the information that I've shared about the border. With boots on the ground experience, they wanted me to out my sources. After the 1st time they came to visit me, I wasn't here.
They then called me on my cell phone later on that day, We didn't give them my cell phone number and wanted further information at about about a specific story that I shared about a few weeks ago about a Hamas training camp across the border from, Brownsville, Texas. I told them that I would never give them a source which would compromise and possibly place my source in danger, but that they were welcome to look up a conference that was held in 2021 where this exact thing was actually discussed. They then told me that they were uncomfortable talking about this on the phone and wanted to meet me in private. When is the FBI uncomfortable talking about something on the phone? Aren't we usually the ones who are uncomfortable because we think the FBI is listening?
Needless to say, I did not go to their private meeting, and they have harassed my family ever since. They have showed up at my doorstep several times. They have called me. They have texted me, bond, and I will not speak to them. I have been to the border multiple times since 2021.
I have shared stories about Women who are having their pregnant bellies cut open and babies left lying on the ground and drugs being stuffed in their bellies and then sewn back up. Stories about portable ultrasound machines owned by the cartel checking for women who are pregnant because then they are more valuable in the traffic in a trafficking situation. And then recently, the story about the Humaz training camp where young men dressed in dark clothing were crossing over the river in the middle of the night to conduct training illegally here in the states and then go heading back over the river to the camp once they were finished. That camp has, now been moved to a different location or has been shut down altogether as of late 2021 or early 2022. But my source is never wrong, and my source is the one who provided me with that information.
I would never Provide a source to anyone, let alone a 3 letter agency that has been known to be weaponized against the right, especially in the last 3 years. Not only would I place my source in danger and compromise their position as far as their, availability to be able to report from where they are. I would also lose the trust of the American people as a journalist. I would lose all integrity. I would also be playing the part in possibly silencing someone that is just trying to reveal the truth.
I will never reveal a source to an alphabet agency that has no interest in protecting the constitutional rights of the American people. I'd rather you just put me in jail first.

A man is visited by FBI agents who ask for help in identifying suspicious individuals or groups. Despite reassurances that he is not in trouble, the man refuses to cooperate unless under arrest.

The encounter ends with the man contemplating how he would react if the FBI came knocking on his door.

Speaker 1: On what?
Speaker 2: I I can discuss it, but we need to sit down and talk first.
Speaker 1: About what? About what? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the FBI has a lot of programs going on where we try to identify some situations or people or groups that may be of interest in. You're not in trouble. You haven't done anything wrong, but you may know somebody that put the hair on the back of your neck up that you'd be willing to talk to us about, and that's why we're here to talk to you.

Speaker 2: Okay. You say you're not willing to talk to us?

Speaker 2: Yeah. Have you done anything that may get you some publicity in the past?
Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer
Speaker 2: any questions. The reason it's you haven't done anything wrong. But you're known, and you're known to have association with sometimes people in your groups. There's always one that does something, and then everybody looks at the group and says, hey. We should have been talking to some people that knew this guy beforehand so that we could have prevented someone.
Speaker 1: I see that in a lot of groups.

Video Transcript AI Summary
There's a significant lack of transparency regarding federal law violations at the border, which raises questions about safety and accountability. Current reporting suggests that federal employees may not face consequences for these violations, except for whistleblowers. The media landscape often sees multiple outlets covering the same stories, possibly due to limited time and shared themes. Independent journalism allows for more diverse storytelling. After decades in major media, the transition to independence has been refreshing, focusing on impactful reporting. The importance of protecting sources has become a central issue. The current climate has made the principles of free press and free speech more crucial than ever, highlighting a need for clarity and commitment in journalism.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Talking about. I guess the volume.
Speaker 1: So
Speaker 0: But there's not but to your point, I don't think there's great transparency on this issue. I hope to bring a little bit more transparency to it.
Speaker 1: So in your judgment, that's a big deal story.
Speaker 0: Oh, 100%. I yeah. I and it's not just I'm looking at what the the polling shows about the top issues for American, you know, American voters in this election cycle. I'm asking myself, I have information. I think there are violations of federal law and federal regulations every day, at the border.
I need to find out if that's really if that's really true. And if it is true, why is it true? And who is really losing in that equation? Is is is the country less safe as a result or or not? I don't know the answer to all of that yet.
But that's that's a very legitimate story to
Speaker 1: pursue. Also, how does a bankrupt come country, which ours is, pay for all these services? I don't. Yeah. There are many questions.
I totally agree. But so you're focused on the question, is the federal government violating its own laws?
Speaker 0: Federal employees, yes. Mhmm.
Speaker 1: And to the extent that you've reported it out, are you closer to an answer?
Speaker 0: I I think based on our reporting so far that it's it really, tips that way. It does appear that way. And so my question is, where's you know, who's been disciplined? Who's been suspended? Who's been fired?
Who's been demoted? And I'm not sure the answer is really anyone except the people who blew the whistle on
Speaker 1: it. Really?
Speaker 0: Don't make me give the story away. No. I don't. I wanna stop you right now. Like, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm, like, so shocked. I mean you know?
Speaker 0: But I think but that's the kind of, to me, that's the kind of story you wanna be doing. Right? I I just think it's, the thing that has always encouraged me about, the the, the consumers of news in this in this country is that they really understand this idea of accountability. They they they wanna see it. They expect it.
They demand it. And and when you do it, I think it can be very gratifying to, you know, to kind of shine a light. I it sounds like so old fashioned, but to shine a light on an issue that really is worthy of that and is sort of screaming out for coverage.
Speaker 1: How do you I've had many people ask me this over the years, but, you know, one channel will do a story or one newspaper will do a story, and then every other outlet will do exactly the same story. In some ways, it's like a really boutique story. You know, it's a a story of limited obvious importance, but everyone does the same story. Yeah. How do these like, who decides that?
Where how does you know?
Speaker 0: Ugh. Where does
Speaker 1: that come from?
Speaker 0: I mean I mean, this comes from the executives or the show producers.
Speaker 1: But have you noticed that you know, I don't know how many news organizations are in the United States in a country of 350,000,000 people. They're they're a lot. Right. They all do, you know, on a in a given week, they do a suite of maybe 20 stories. Mhmm.
Themes, you know, variations on the theme perhaps. But but, I I mean, what how why? You'd think that
Speaker 0: I really I I wish I could answer that question.
Speaker 1: But you've noticed this. Right?
Speaker 0: I mean, when you look at the rundown, let's say, for an evening news broadcast, you'll see a lot of the same stories. Now that may be a function of the fact that they have such limited time to tell the story. Was it 18 or 19 minutes or 20 For sure. Or 20 minutes.
Speaker 1: But it's the the topics are the same. It's just interesting. I'm not suggesting coordination, but I I do think it's a I don't know what it is. It's I think it's a conspiracy of like minded temperament. They all are kind of the same people.
Speaker 0: I I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: But you'll concede there are a lot of stories that they could be doing that they're not.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I I think so. That's that's the appeal of being independent is that you can tell some of the stories that maybe you couldn't tell before.
Speaker 1: Is it weird not to have a boss?
Speaker 0: Yeah. It's a big change after nearly 4 decades of working, for major media outlets. It's a it's a huge change. I've had a lot of change in the last 4 months, 5 months. A lot.
Speaker 1: Do you miss being scolded?
Speaker 0: I miss being scolded. I miss the structure. I'm very used to the structure. And, you know, structure that, you know, has resources that you didn't realize that you needed until you went to do it yourself. I'm sure you understand that.
Speaker 1: Been there.
Speaker 0: Yeah. You've been there. Right? But I I really like working with a small team and as a group deciding what is it that we're gonna pursue next, and how can we structure this story that it has an impact, and what kind of reporting do we need to be doing, and at what point do we engage with government agencies? And how do we keep moving the story forward after after we do it?
I I just find that just kind of exhilarating and refreshing all at all at the same time. And in a marketplace that's really just exploding where you're setting your own boundaries and your own rules. Right? You're saying, okay. I've got almost 4 decades of experience.
This is what I believe journalism is. This is how I'm gonna execute it. These are my standards. These are my expectations, and I'm gonna be true to those. I'm I'm gonna follow it through.
That's the exciting part of it. And then having a public that responds to it, which I'm, you know, so grateful for.
Speaker 1: People like honesty in a world full of lies, I think. Do you feel that?
Speaker 0: People are looking for credible, reliable information in a way that I never maybe seen in my lifetime working as a journalist.
Speaker 1: So not maybe what you're saying is that as a business, journalism is, like, more discredited than it's ever been and more disliked. But individual journalists who decided to tell the truth are
Speaker 0: I don't know. I don't know if I I don't know if I would go that far. I'm not sure how comfortable I am really commenting on the whole, you know, profession that way. How's that? I I just sort of come back to my, you know, I come back to my own, you know, my my own work.
I I wrote something recently for the free press, which is really an amazing operation. It's Barry Weiss has really built it into this sort of, you know, engaging, driving thing, you know? It's like it's like a great source for information. I wrote something on on the press act. And, you know, the it's the protection of sources is the hill to die on.
And it was such a great experience to work with them and to see the reach of that story and to take an issue that I felt needed to kind of, you know, poke up through the noise and get some attention. Because all of our our futures, our careers, rest on that basic principle. So to me, that's an example of, you know, an independent media outlet, which is really has a lot of impact and made a difference.
Speaker 1: How, of the people that you worked with 30 years ago, were any still around in the business?
Speaker 0: Oh, I'm trying to think. A lot of them are retired now. I went to a a reunion, an ABC London reunion. I wanna say it was maybe 7 years ago, 7 6 or 7 it was before I just before I went to CBS, and a lot of people were retired. A lot of people had, passed.
5 of them were already gone.
Speaker 1: Is that weird?
Speaker 0: Yeah. It's sad. But, I learned so much from them. And I think that not to sound, too sentimental, but I think you carry that on. I think one of the greatest things you can do at a certain point in your career is to share your experience and to share the skill set that you that you have.
And I really enjoy doing that, especially with younger journalists.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna do it?
Speaker 0: Oh, you know, we I talk about this with our kids. How long am I gonna do this? And when will I retire? And that, you know, they all have the same verdict, which is like, oh, mom, like, you need to keep working as long as you can work. Because you're if we had you loose in the house all the time, it would just be crazy and you love I mean, I just love it.
I feel fortunate to have found something I feel so passionate about. Maybe you feel Oh, passionate about. Maybe you feel
Speaker 1: Oh, of course I do.
Speaker 0: Maybe you feel the the the same way. Of course. And I I can't sort of both I'm I'm surprised even by the evolution of where I am today. And I'm surprised that I'm fighting in the courts to be protecting confidential sources. But if if there's something that folks who are listening and watching this can take away is that, you know, I came out of February, so it was a tough time.
There's no question about it. But I had a lot of clarity, and sometimes crisis gives you clarity.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 0: And the idea of a free press and free speech, these really became my north star. They really became the driving force of what I'm gonna do in this next chapter.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I couldn't agree more. And it's weird to wake up and see things you took for granted under threat.
Speaker 0: Mhmm.
Speaker 1: Did you ever think that free speech in the United States would be open to question?
Speaker 0: No. I I wouldn't have anticipated the situation that I'm in now. That's that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Well, we're rooting for you fervently.
Speaker 0: Thank you.

We're simply turning the tables by asking legitimate questions, like how did these members of Congress get so rich?
I think someone has to file charges for assault against these Democrat members and their staff. I'm going to reach out to the DC District Attorney to see what his jurisdiction is. This shouldn't be tolerated. I have a right protected under the First Amendment to simply ask questions. I wasn't being violent.
I'm simply trying to get an answer to a question. The only aggression there is is asking aggressive questions that they don't like. I asked Ayanna Presley if she condoned FEMA sending $59 million to house illegals in New York City while people in Western North Carolina have been living in tents for the past four months, and I got the death stare of a lifetime. I'm going to live here in DC, and I'm going to do this on a routine basis.

Speaker 0: This is nothing compared to what Republicans have to deal with every single day on Capitol Hill. So Republicans, members of Congress, are constantly barraged by reporters who chase them into elevators, who harass them, who are funded by USAID in order to make their lives a living hell. And all you're doing is turning the tables and simply asking legitimate questions. This is a huge question. How did they all get so rich?
Massie Waters was named the most corrupt member of Congress. Elizabeth Warren is worth tens of millions of dollars. Nobody can figure out exactly why. So it seems completely and totally legitimate, yet you're assaulted for this. There's new sheriff in town, Nick.
Ed Martin is the new DC District Attorney appointed by president Trump. Have you considered reaching out to potentially file charges for assault against these Democrat members and their staff?
Speaker 1: No. I I think somebody definitely has to, but the the the issue that we have here is that I would have to go, as far as I'm aware, to the DC District Attorney. The the the district of, you know, the city of Washington, DC would have to be the ones to bring assault charges against these people, and the chances I mean, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that would ever happen. I mean, there's a there's a clear double standard here in Washington, DC. But, you know, Ed Martin's a good guy, man.
Just reach out. We'll just see. We'll see what his is. Well, it happened
Speaker 0: you know, the way that it works is is his jurisdiction because it happened on federal property, and this is how they were able the DC District Attorney can charge anything that happens in Washington, DC. You were in Washington, DC. And
Speaker 1: Beautiful. That's what I'll do right after this then. Well, there we go. We're getting places here on the Benny Show, man.
Speaker 0: Don't take legal yeah. Don't take legal advice, but, but I I'm I'm telling you is that that this shouldn't be this shouldn't be tolerated. You have a right. You have a right protected under the first amendment to simply ask questions. And you weren't being violent.
Right? You weren't pushing or or or you weren't pushing or fighting anyone or punching anyone? They were punching No.
Speaker 1: I was the one taking the punches and taking the pushes. That that's that that was me. I wasn't blocking anybody. I wasn't, you know, I'm not I'm not I I'm not getting in their paths. I'm, you know, simply trying to get an answer to a question.
There's no aggression. The only aggression there is is is asking aggressive questions that they don't like. Yeah. Sure. It it's as simple as that.
You know, Ayanna Presley, you you're talking about the FEMA situation. I asked her directly in the video that I'm about to post. I asked her if she condoned FEMA sending 25,000,000 or or I'm sorry, $59,000,000 to house illegals in New York City while people in Western North Carolina have been living in tents for the past four months, and I got the death stare of a lifetime. It was like a ghetto death stare, Benny. You're gonna see.
I mean, I I've never gotten that look from a congressperson before, but it's like a look of intimidation because, you know, they think that they think they're gods. These Democrat congresspeople think they are god, that they're untouchable, and that nothing will ever happen to them. And, you know, I'm I'm here in DC now. I'm gonna live here in DC, and I'm gonna do this on a routine basis. So Good.
They should be ready for it. Maybe I'll have to wear a mask like their, their masked minions so that they can't recognize me.

The White House has allowed Danielle Kurtzleben, an NPR reporter known for her anti-Trump stance, to return to press briefings despite her recent altercation with the former president. This decision follows ongoing claims about NPR's bias and calls for its defunding. Meanwhile, I have yet to receive a response regarding my media press pass application for Loomer Unleashed, despite my impactful reporting that has led to significant consequences for various officials. It's frustrating to see the preference given to mainstream media over independent voices like mine.
@LauraLoomer - Laura Loomer
EXCLUSIVE: The White House press team has allowed Danielle Kurtzleben, the radical, Leftist, anti-Trump @NPR reporter who recently hit President Trump in the face with a microphone, to return to the White House press briefings. This photo was taken this morning around 9:05 am EST during the White House press briefing with @PressSec and @RealTomHoman. This comes after constant gaslighting from the White House about how NPR “should be defunded” because of how much it resembles Deep State propaganda. Meanwhile, despite the fact that my reporting has led to firings at the NSC, NSA, and even got Hunter Biden’s Secret Service detail pulled, I still have not heard back about my application for a new media press pass for @LoomerUnleashed. We are told New Media is doing a better job than the Leftist media, but New Media continues to be disrespected while Trump haters who literally assaulted Donald Trump are allowed back into the White House Press room. Danielle was hoping she would get away with it, but when I exposed her, she literally went into hiding and deleted her X account because she’s guilty of assaulting Donald Trump. How does someone who hit President Trump in the face get allowed back into the White House? If one thing is clear after these first 100 days of the new Trump admin, it’s that the White House has a vetting crisis and it’s business as usual as it relates to Fake News media getting preference over independent media… even though my reports dominate news cycles for weeks on end. Nobody has broken more stories that have helped President Trump than I have. It’s just a fact. My reporting was so consequential, it was even utilized by President Trump’s own legal team. Wonder when I will get my press pass so @LoomerUnleashed can further break stories that benefit our country.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The exchange centers on a confrontation in a public/Louisiana parish building during a first amendment audit conducted by Justin (Speaker 0). Justin explains that he entered a public area and was subjected to aggressive behavior from a man who grabbed his belongings, attempted a headlock, and threw Justin’s phone. Justin asserts that this occurred in front of a deputy, who did not intervene. He claims the man (Ellis Booth) took his phone, assaulted him, and tossed it across the parking lot, while the deputy “did nothing.”
Justin emphasizes that he was having a polite conversation when Booth acted aggressively, grabbed his property, and threw his phone multiple times. He argues that if he had done any of these actions, he would be in cuffs, and he questions why Booth has not been arrested. He challenges the deputy’s handling of the incident, insisting that the deputy witnessed the events and should have acted. He also claims the deputy’s inaction contradicts the duty to protect the public and enforce the law, noting he has a large social media following and intends to publicize what he perceives as misconduct.
The dialogue includes several attempts to obtain formal statements and to follow proper procedure. Justin asks for a statement from the deputy who witnessed the incident, and for access to video footage (body cam) and other evidence. He asserts that the deputy’s eyewitness account should be sufficient to pursue charges, and he questions why extra steps or warrants are being pursued if the deputy clearly witnessed the events. He also mentions he has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the body cam footage.
Speaker 4, Detective Adams of the Cattle Parish Sheriff’s Office, enters the conversation and tries to mediate. He explains that a new process is necessary: a written statement and a signed affidavit from Justin before any warrants or arrests can proceed, since there is no direct on-site arrest of Booth by the acting officer. Detective Adams clarifies that if a judge signs a warrant based on the deputy’s statements and Justin’s signed affidavit, Booth could be arrested. He notes that the deputy did not witness the exact moment of the phone being thrown in Justin’s hands, but did witness the assault and the destruction of property. He emphasizes following chain-of-command and needing a judge’s warrant to proceed.
The discussion includes comparisons of how officers would be treated if the roles were reversed. Justin argues that the officer’s standards should be the same regardless of whether the person is a private citizen or a Homeland Security employee. Detective Adams explains that the Homeland Security director (Beeson) was not present to arrest on-site and that Booth’s arrest is tied to the body camera and the deputy’s written report. The exchange touches on past incidents, including a controversial encounter involving a black officer and other officers, which Detective Adams says he plans to address separately with superiors.
Towards the end, it is confirmed that Booth was arrested previously (yesterday) for simple battery and criminal damage to private property, but the battery charge was kept separate from the damage charge after Justin notes his phone’s condition. Booth bonded out at $1,255 cash and would have a court date set by the district attorney. The district attorney asks Justin to forward any video and his written statement. Detective Adams states he will present the materials to a judge, and if a warrant is signed, Booth will be arrested. Beeson is identified as the online security director who previously attended the incident, and there is a discussion about obtaining more video and verifying all witnesses’ statements.
In sum, the transcript captures Justin’s allegation of police inaction during a visible assault and property destruction, the procedural requirement for statements and affidavits to pursue warrants, and the subsequent administrative steps that led to Booth’s prior arrest and ongoing cooperation with the district attorney’s office.

Speaker 1: No. I'm trying trying to
Speaker 0: You're supposed to protect the public, not Homeland Security.
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 0: You are You're not protecting dude, you just saw a crime and you're doing nothing about it. And you're about to be all over the Internet doing nothing about it. I have a lot of subscribers. A lot. And they're all gonna see you doing nothing about it.
Okay. And you're probably gonna lose your job too. I'm gonna make
Speaker 2: sure you lose your job too. How about that? Okay.
Speaker 0: Go in there and arrest him and do your do the right job. That's why I have my chief detective Why can't you? Are you a cop? I thought you knew what you were doing. You do or don't know what you're doing?
I do know what you're doing. Well, then go arrest him. Why do you need someone else? Why do you need anybody else? You just saw it in front of your own eyes.
He didn't see it with his own eyes. You did. So go do something, and then I'll talk to you. I don't trust y'all. I don't trust y'all.
Who are you? Who are you? I'm the chief detective. I'm only gonna talk to you if you're gonna do the right thing.
Speaker 5: Sure. Well, one of your guys just came in. We were talking to him. He come got a complaint form. We were trying to get all that for him.
Speaker 0: Alright. So I was just trying to make a public record request. I was told to go do that in that in this building by, like, half a dozen people. I walk in there. The lady at the front desk says, you'll need to do that in the Homeland Security office down at the right.
So I go down the hallway on the right, look inside the office, no one's in there, come back out. The ladies are like, hey, what are you doing with the camera? I'm just explaining, have you ever heard of a first name in audit?
Speaker 5: Sure. Yes.
Speaker 0: That's literally what I'm doing. Yeah. He comes in there, puts me in a headlock, takes my phone out of my out of my hand, throws it on the ground. I have to wrestle my phone out of his hand, then he follows me outside right in front of your deputy, takes my phone out of my hand again, and throws it across the parking lot. And guess what your deputy did?
Nothing.
Speaker 5: Okay. Let me go over and get some paperwork. Let me go over there.
Speaker 0: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Steve, where where do you feel comfortable talking to giving me a statement?
Speaker 0: So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna talk unless so that deputy with his own eyes witnessed more than enough to arrest him. If you're gonna do the right thing, I'll come talk to you and tell you everything that happened. I'll show you videos.
Speaker 5: That's what
Speaker 0: we're doing. If you're not doing well If if you will give it to me, I would like to have your footage for the evidence. And I will. But but before I do anything, because I've been through this road before and I know how cops work, is you're gonna get all the information you can out of me and then tell me to get fucked. No.
No. That's not Well and so with before I even make a statement or even show you a video with what that deputy saw with his own eyes is more than enough.
Speaker 5: To him too.
Speaker 0: So if if you do the right thing with what he saw alone, then we'll talk.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Let me go talk to you.
Speaker 0: Thank you. And can I get your name, sir?
Speaker 5: So Duane Lester.
Speaker 0: I'm Justin.
Speaker 5: Okay. We're trying to make this right that he's not way superior. He's not don't
Speaker 0: work for break the law, though.
Speaker 1: I agree. Agree.
Speaker 0: And he needs to go to jail just like I would.
Speaker 5: And I'm not I'm not saying that that ain't gonna happen. I'm just letting you know that he don't work for us.
Speaker 0: I understand that. And and, actually, that makes it better because if he did work for you, you would just give him he wouldn't he definitely wouldn't go to jail, but he's not even your department. So you can act on it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I'm gonna talk to the deputy and see what he's got on. Maybe he's got a body cam. Can watch or something.
Speaker 0: I mean, his own I would you call him a liar or because he saw it with his own eyes, he could just tell you. He saw
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. I'm just asking.
Speaker 0: He saw him do that
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 5: That my damn show to me so I could see it.
Speaker 0: Like, if I if I if I ran up and grabbed your phone out of your pocket and threw it, what happens to me?
Speaker 5: Sure. I I I
Speaker 0: And that's only one of, like, 10 things that happened. Yeah. But that just that alone, what would happen?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, at at a minimum, it could be he took your phone. And
Speaker 0: threw it. Yeah. No. What if I did that to you? What would happen to me?
Speaker 1: You probably got jailed.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 0: I mean,
Speaker 5: likely, it's according to the yeah. That's what saying. I'm only
Speaker 0: Well, was this whole story. It's a lot worse than that, but that alone would take him take me to jail. So let's do it to him.
Speaker 4: Well,
Speaker 0: he needs to
Speaker 5: see what's happening here.
Speaker 0: Do you believe that an a law officer has a higher standard or a lower standard that they need to operate on? You think that they should
Speaker 5: I I 100% agree that
Speaker 0: Higher standard? Standard. Okay. So then He's
Speaker 5: not a law officer. So
Speaker 0: Alright. Well, then even better then take him, dude. Who's asking?
Speaker 4: Detective Adams with the Kettleman Parish Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 0: Oh, the scumbags. Yeah. What's going on, dude?
Speaker 4: Okay. Let me go ahead and stop you right there, mister McKenney. I'm trying to work this case, but I'm not gonna tolerate you insulting me. I'm not gonna insult you.
Speaker 0: Unless you are
Speaker 4: tolerate any other board. Hey, dude. Trying to help.
Speaker 2: You're not, though. If you that line Hey. Let's let's stop. Okay? Did you arrest Ellis Booth yesterday?
Speaker 4: That's the reason for my call. I need a statement from you.
Speaker 2: No. You don't. And that's why I'm calling you names. That's why I'm calling you names, dude. You witnessed several
Speaker 3: crimes.
Speaker 4: No. I did not.
Speaker 2: Your officer did. Your officer did.
Speaker 4: I have a statement from that officer.
Speaker 0: That's all
Speaker 1: you need. He witnessed.
Speaker 2: If you arrest him, I'll cooperate. Just like I told you yesterday, Until you do the right thing, I don't trust you. And I have a very good reason to not trust you because you didn't do anything when the officer saw it with his own eyes. Do the right thing, then I'll cooperate. Until then, I don't trust you for a very good reason.
Speaker 4: So are you gonna write a statement and sign an affidavit
Speaker 2: or Not unless you do the right thing because what I'm gonna do actually is I've already spoken to my lawyer, and your department's about to be on the hook, dude. You guys, that's dereliction of duty. That's not honoring your oath. You're gonna be named in the lawsuit. I'm not fucking around.
Do the right thing.
Speaker 4: I'm not either.
Speaker 0: You don't you don't
Speaker 2: need me. You don't need me to make the arrest. You don't need me. You need what your officer saw and the body cam and everything. Your officer's statement is more than enough to make the arrest.
You decided not to when you had more than enough. Whenever you and him both admitted, had he seen me do the same thing, I'd already be in jail. So why isn't he? Why isn't he?
Speaker 4: My first conversation with you. I have not talked to you. I haven't
Speaker 2: seen you. Well, the head okay. There was a dude yesterday that said he was the head detective. And so I said, will you please go do the right thing? If you're admitting that if I did that to anyone here, I'd be in jail.
Why isn't he? And they said, well, he's Homeland Security. Like, that makes him immune from the law. And I said, I'll make a statement. I will fully cooperate with you guys if you do the right thing, but I don't trust that you will.
I know how you work. You want all my information. That way, you can just tell me to off and nothing happens. I've seen this go I've seen this a 100 times. If I can see that you actually want to do the right thing, then I'll cooperate.
But there's no point in me cooperating with a bunch of crooks. I even heard you guys talking yesterday about what you could charge me with. Why would you why was that even a fucking conversation?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I was not there. I didn't hear that conversation.
Speaker 2: So why are you the one talking to me? Why are you the one calling me
Speaker 3: right now then? You weren't
Speaker 2: even there, dude. This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: Are you gonna let me speak for a minute?
Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Okay. The officer that was there yesterday left today going on vacation for a scheduled event. It wasn't because of this. The sheriff is gone. It's LSA conference is what it is.
Okay? With that said, I've been left to try to sort this out. I've got a statement from mister Boo saying you attacked him. That's why I need a statement from you telling your side of what happened. The way that I do this is I present this to a judge, and if a judge signs a warrant for, number one, simple battery on you.
Number two, destruction of your private property by throwing the phone across the parking lot as the deputy stated in his written statement, his report, then I will if the judge signs the warrant, I will arrest mister Booth. There is no bearing. I don't care if he's on the security or
Speaker 3: Dude, your entire department.
Speaker 4: Nothing to do with me.
Speaker 2: You have enough to arrest him on what your witness on what your officer witnessed. What happened before that is quite frankly irrelevant even though he attacked me. And if you got statements from the two ladies inside, unless they're lying, which I don't they don't seem like the type, they'll vouch that he attacked me.
Speaker 4: So when you say the two ladies in the office, that's the little brick building across the road by the White church or is that the court building? Which so I'll know which two ladies to talk to.
Speaker 3: So you're I do not
Speaker 4: have statements from them is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: What? So this is your department, dude. This is your department. How did they not get statements from them yesterday? So, dude, that's embarrassing.
But it's
Speaker 2: the listen. I'm gonna talk I'm gonna tell you what happened, but I'm not I'm I just don't trust you guys.
Speaker 4: That's not I want it that day. I don't. Can earn the trust I will, but I don't I deal with that. I need you to tell me what happened or either give me something in writing
Speaker 0: This is that
Speaker 4: I can receive.
Speaker 2: I I'll tell you what happened. I was there doing
Speaker 3: a first amendment audit. Have you ever heard of that, sir?
Speaker 4: I'm very familiar with
Speaker 3: that.
Speaker 4: Okay. And how it works.
Speaker 0: But I
Speaker 3: haven't even gotten to a building yet. And he is picking a fight with me where I'm having to back up away from him. He's he's a completely unhinged insane person. And I'm and I'm like, look, dude.
Speaker 4: I agree with that.
Speaker 3: You agree? Okay. Thank you.
Speaker 4: I agree with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He really is. So I walk in the front office. The lady in the front has nothing to do with him, but
Speaker 2: I I don't know that at
Speaker 3: the time. I asked her about it, and she says, yeah. His office is the last office down there on the right. Go down there and see if he's in there. So I walked down the public hallway, go to his door.
It's wide open. I don't step even my toes inside his doorway. I'm outside of his door frame the entire time. I'm looking inside his
Speaker 4: within your right's doing that.
Speaker 3: Thank you for understanding that. What do you think your deputy should've done in that moment when he sees this man grab my stuff try to grab me, then grab my stuff, and throw it?
Speaker 4: They should have arrested him for a simple battery and a criminal name, mister Frank.
Speaker 3: Alright. Well, he didn't even think about it.
Speaker 4: With that said, the reason that I called you was see if I could do the right thing on this, but I've already told you that I need a written statement a signed affidavit before I can
Speaker 3: go further. No. You don't. With what your your deputy saw with his own eyes is enough to do something. You admitted just a second ago, what would what what should that have deputy have done?
You said arrested him. Okay. Go for it, bro. So don't don't go back on your word.
Speaker 4: What I have.
Speaker 3: The brother, you just told me ten seconds ago, and I'm recording this, that he should have arrested him.
Speaker 4: I am not afraid of your attorney. I'm not afraid of being recorded. Recorded.
Speaker 3: I can see that.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to tell you I will do my job, but I've gotta have something to do
Speaker 3: it with you. You don't, dude.
Speaker 4: I will present listen just a second. Let me tell you what I'm gonna do. I will present what I have to a judge. And if a judge says he will sign a warrant on this, I'll arrest mister Booth. I do not have a problem with that.
But a little bit of cooperation and less sarcasm on your part would go a long way with me.
Speaker 3: It's not sarcasm, dude. I'm I don't trust you. That's not I'm not being sarcastic.
Speaker 4: Word out of your mouth whenever you answer me on the phone and tell I tell you I identify myself as a detective with the Cattles Parish Sheriff's Office and the next word out of your mouth is scumbag Yeah. That's pretty derogatory to me. I make offense to that.
Speaker 3: Okay. I don't consider myself
Speaker 4: a scumbag. I consider myself a
Speaker 3: fair Mhmm.
Speaker 4: I try to do my job to the best of my ability. Did we not do exactly what we may have should have done yesterday? I can't do anything about yesterday. I'm trying to make it
Speaker 3: right yesterday. You're still not. And You're you're
Speaker 4: bent on trying to insult me and this
Speaker 3: Well, listen. When you first called no.
Speaker 4: But I did.
Speaker 3: When you first called, I thought you were the detective I spoke with yesterday. Okay? I don't I didn't okay? And he is a scumbag, and I'll call that to him all day long. Okay?
So that's why I called you that. I thought you were him. So I apologize for calling your name. I've never even met you. But your department is still a stumbag.
Speaker 4: Seen me. I didn't see you yesterday. All of this was over by
Speaker 0: the time I got
Speaker 3: involved. But but guess what? You admitted just a minute ago that you wouldn't need a warrant to arrest him and that your officer should have done that yesterday.
Speaker 4: I stand by that. He should have arrested mister Booth yesterday.
Speaker 3: So you don't need a warrant, and you wouldn't have needed a warrant to arrest me. So why are we doing this? Just go get him, dude. Do your job, please. I'm begging you.
Speaker 4: I told you. I'm gonna present what I've got to
Speaker 3: a judge, and
Speaker 0: it's You're doing
Speaker 4: sign on my side.
Speaker 3: You okay. Why are you treating him special like this? Be real. You wouldn't do this to if this was me, you wouldn't be doing this. You would have already got me.
Speaker 4: I don't think we can get any further. We're not gonna agree on that.
Speaker 3: So respectfully, you wouldn't need a warrant to arrest me. Right? If I had done that to anyone there, you would not be
Speaker 4: I saw what happened.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: I did not see it happen.
Speaker 3: Well, your officer did. And let's just say your officer came to you and said, he saw me do this. You wouldn't need a warrant to arrest me. So why do you why are you going through all these extra hoops and steps for mister Booth?
Speaker 4: Because I did not see it. The officer saw it.
Speaker 3: Okay. Please stop deflecting. Sir. Sir. You're literally
Speaker 4: contrary to what you're saying.
Speaker 3: You are deflecting. It's not contrary. You're deflecting. It's not contrary to what the officer said. And as I just said, what you you would not need a warrant to arrest me.
You admit that the officer would have that you could arrest me for any of this. You are definitely 100% going through extra steps for him that you wouldn't do for me or anyone else.
Speaker 4: No. I'm not.
Speaker 3: You okay. You're so you would do the same thing. So if if your officer came and told you that he saw me grab someone's phone and throw it, you'd say, well, we we better get a warrant first.
Speaker 4: No. And he should have arrested me on the spot.
Speaker 3: Okay. That no. Answer the question. Don't deflect to a different question. The question is, if that same officer came to you and said that he saw me grab mister Booth's phone and throw it, he saw it.
It's on camera, on his body cam. He he's the witness. Do you are you gonna go get a warrant for me, or you're just gonna arrest me?
Speaker 4: My next question to that officer would be why don't you why didn't you arrest him? I do not have a problem arresting him. If I have some enough probable cause and a signed affidavit and a voluntary statement from you.
Speaker 3: Well, you just got a statement.
Speaker 4: Signature on a warrant.
Speaker 3: You just got a statement from me, sir. I just I just told you everything.
Speaker 4: Well, if you'll sign a voluntary statement and an affidavit at this point, I don't have a complaint in the computer from you.
Speaker 3: You don't need a complaint. You're dude, why can't you get this? Your officer witnessed three crimes. So unless you don't believe unless he is he on the Brady list or something? Like, why don't you believe what he says?
Go do it. Why are you why is it why are you gonna take my word over your own officers?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna call my boss who is the sheriff. And if he tells me to proceed with this
Speaker 3: Gotcha. Idea,
Speaker 4: I'll do what I need to do.
Speaker 3: Extra steps.
Speaker 4: And if not, then
Speaker 3: Extra steps.
Speaker 4: I'm follow my chain of command.
Speaker 3: No, dude. Just do the right thing. Why do you why are you putting these extra steps on for Booth that you would not do for anyone else? You're proving my point.
Speaker 4: It's not just for Booth.
Speaker 0: It is.
Speaker 3: Way we do things No. It's not, dude. I do this for a living. I know how you work. I know when you the only time you ever go through all these hoops is whenever it's one of your own.
I see I see this is literally what I do twenty four seven. I I know you guys better than you know yourselves. The only time you do these freaking extra steps and hoops and special treatment is when it's one of your own. If it was some some drug addict down the street, you wouldn't ask anybody.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir. Called to let you know that been arrested and booked into the jail on 07/2825 at 01:09.
Speaker 0: Okay. So you alright. Thank you so much, dude. Hold on one second. And so you arrested him yesterday.
Did you go what was the charges?
Speaker 4: Charge of simple battery. I did simple battery and criminal damage to private property, but you told me your phone was not damaged. So I took that charge off of the affidavit.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Man, my OtterBox I swear by the OtterBox now. This thing is barely scratched. Doubt. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't leave out of the store without one. It's just they pay for themselves.
Speaker 0: I was like, there's no way it's not shattered, but it didn't even have a scratch. So okay. So he was arrested for battery. Did he bond out or anything?
Speaker 4: He he did bond out. Yes. It was 1,255 cash bond, so he's bonded out probably back at work today. I told you I was gonna do my job. That's what I did.
It's in the district attorney's hands now. But he'll be issued a court date, and I don't know that date or I will give it to you, but I can notify you. You should get a letter from the DA. I actually spoke to the district attorney today, and, he asked that you forward me any video that you had and a written statement, you know, stating your side of what happened.
Speaker 1: Did you get
Speaker 4: Outside the office.
Speaker 0: Okay. I sent an email with a statement. Did you get that? And can I make a Freedom of Information Act request? Sure.
I wanted the body cam. Okay. Actually, what's the officer's name that witnessed all this?
Speaker 4: William Beeson.
Speaker 0: Is he getting any kind of any kind of reprimand or anything?
Speaker 4: I have not discussed it with his cap his patrol captain, but I will.
Speaker 0: Would I be able to get the body cam for the arrest?
Speaker 4: No. He he walked into the office. Here I I don't know if you know his role and all this. He is the online security director for the parish. He walks in and out of dispatch periodically.
And when he walked in dispatch, I had already delivered the warrants down there, and he was out of town as a reason. He wasn't arrested on-site. But whenever he came back to town, he was to report to his supervisor, which is the parish police jury secretary, and he was going to be booked in then. He he didn't go to her office. He went straight to dispatch, and that's whenever they told him, hey.
We have a warrant for your arrest, and they booked him in. That's where that went. Just kinda got off to a bad start. Like I told you, I'm an open book. I have nothing to hide.
I believe in doing my job, and I believe in justice. So you know?
Speaker 0: Thank you, man. Yeah. I I I honestly did not expect anything to happen, especially after your chief investigator didn't do anything.
Speaker 4: And I I'm not trying to jump in their defense. There's more here that don't, and I'm I'm gonna ask you about it before we don't know. But him being the Homeland Safety Director, the the officer base and that was on the scene, I understand his part. He didn't know if he actually had the power to arrest him since he was a state employee over Homeland Security. And and I'm gonna support him in that decision because he just didn't know.
Now had it been a life and death situation, you know, surely he would have done something, but I can get the names. But he's probably been out of the academy less than two years.
Speaker 0: Then well, shows his mindset, and he doesn't have a good sense of morality if his default is I can't do anything because he's the government. Then you don't need to be an officer, honestly.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you something. Did you when you and when you and mister Booger were standing on the corner by the bank, or on the corner by the courthouse and the black officer was there, did you have that recorded as well, the conversation between him and the black officer?
Speaker 0: Oh, I know what you're talking about. And I heard about this through my friends, but I don't think I was there.
Speaker 4: Okay. I I have a problem there.
Speaker 0: And I
Speaker 4: and if you have that on video, I would love if you could send that to me because I'm not happy with that situation there at all. And I have a report on that in my file from that officer, what he said to him, and that that's just not cool.
Speaker 0: I mean yeah. That
Speaker 4: We should be way past that. And here's my deal with that. I'm I'm being 100% transparent with you. If that guy got this rattled just from you walking into a public lobby and videoing and asking a few questions, is that who you really want over your homeland security in case of an emergency? Come on.
Speaker 0: That's a really good question. Yep. Exactly. I
Speaker 4: mean and and I if I get the opportunity, I plan on asking that question to his superiors. In fact, I've already met with the secretary treasurer and gave her a copy of this. If you were in a supervisory position, you're trained. You've got to overcome those obstacles and just do better, be better, and handle things differently. And if he can't handle this situation no better than he handled it, god help us if we have a tornado come through the middle of our parish.
Alright. Like I said, I have nothing to hide off or anyway I can as long as I'm allowed to. If they shut me down, say, hey. No more correspondence. But I'll give you what I've got until then, till they tell me different.
And so far, I thought the sheriff is actually at an LSA conference in Florida out of state right now. And I to him last night, and he said, absolutely. Call him back, you know, as soon as you get a minute. Let him know that Booth has been arrested, and we're gonna cooperate fully. So that's what we're
Speaker 3: doing. Awesome.

Lauren Southern opens up about being pressured by federal agents to work for them. She warn that there are many such cases. She was not the only one. @Lauren_Southern @we_unify https://t.co/RlCFnDOPJY
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker recounts a long-standing pattern of interactions with federal agents, noting that jokes about agents reading their chats stopped being funny for a period. They describe being pressured to work for these agencies for months, a pressure that left no paper trail and was deliberately concealed. Each time agents visited their home, they were asked to shut off their phone and told not to tell anyone about what was happening.
The speaker explains that the only reason they can discuss the situation now is that they made a deliberate, fear-driven decision to do so. They recall sweating and nearly vomiting, and they went so far as to clip a DJI microphone to their bra before every visit, anxious that the device would beep or reveal what was being discussed. This precaution reflects the level of fear and the stakes involved in the interactions.
They claim to have later confronted Parliament about the surveillance and pressure campaigns they faced, actions taken after they recorded evidence of these activities. The speaker asserts a broader possibility: there exists a very real world in which they did none of that—where they would still be online today as an independent influencer while privately secretly acting on behalf of Canadian intelligence agencies—because they were made to believe they would go to jail. They emphasize that they are not the only person affected by this dynamic, suggesting a wider pattern or network behind these experiences.

Speaker 0: I have made so many jokes over the years about federal agents reading my chats, and suddenly none of them were funny anymore for a while. And they pressured me to work for them for months, and they left no paper trail. Trail. They were very deliberate about that. Every time they came to my door, they would have me shut off my phone and told me you cannot tell a soul about what is going on.
The only reason I can talk about this today is because I made a very deliberate decision that I was terrified to do. I was sweating, almost puking, and I clipped a DJI mic to my bra before every time they came to my house, terrified that it was going to beep or go off at some point when they were talking to me. And then I later confronted the parliament about these surveillance and pressure campaigns against me after recording evidence of them. There is a very real world in which I did none of that, in which you'd still see me online today as an independent influencer while privately secretly acting on behalf of Canadian intelligence agencies because they truly made me believe I was going to go to jail. And I guarantee you, I am not the only one.
