Incredible. “I was also told that the Secret Service Director has been given instructions from the Administration and the DHS Secretary Mayorkas that if you want to keep your job, you'll keep your mouth shut about this…” https://t.co/iY8cBiHZz4
Video Transcript AI Summary
I showed Tucker evidence that a police post was supposed to be at a location, but it didn't show up. The media is spreading a false story about the roof being the issue. The Secret Service director was told to stay quiet about it. If the post had been there, it could have prevented a dangerous situation.

Speaker 0: So I was just showing Tucker some material from a a ace an unimpeachable source, let's just say, on the matter. That post, according to my source, that roof was supposed to be a police post. It it was so was supposed to be someone there. They're now making up excuses saying the pitch or the roof. My source said to me they no one knows why the post didn't show up.
But so that's a nonsense story they're putting out in the media. And I was also told that the Secret Service director has been given instructions from the administration and the DHS secretary. You wanna keep your job, you'll keep your mouth shut about this. They're not putting that out there, but if you get those side post logs and those police instructions, and there was a post on there and they didn't show up and no one checked, Someone could've got your dad killed within millimeters.

CONFRONTED: Robert P. Silvers (@DHS_Policy), former Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary for Policy, HAS LEFT his position at @DHSgov following the release of @OKeefeMedia's undercover footage of Silvers describing Trump’s win as "traumatic" and a "crushing blow" to the Biden Administration, in addition to detailing Biden’s mental decline as “accelerated… 12 to 24” months into his presidency. When James O'Keefe pressed Silvers about his comments over Trump’s victory and Biden’s “degraded faculties,” he responded, “I don’t really want to talk about it,” before hastily retreating, in Washington, D.C. “Why not be honest with the American people about the things you told our reporter?” asked O’Keefe, before being ushered off the premises by security.

HOLY SH*T 🚨 James O’Keefe confronts a White House Advisor and HE RUNS AWAY after being caught saying the Deep State is real James O’Keefe is a LEGEND 🔥 https://t.co/9tRUlGIzni
Video Transcript AI Summary
I'm James O'Keefe, and I caught a White House advisor, Byron, on hidden camera discussing the deep state. Byron admitted that the deep state exists to some degree, operating through bureaucracy by creating commissions to slow things down. He also mentioned that the bureaucracy could "crush" incoming leadership, specifically mentioning RFK Jr.
Byron defended the bureaucracy's role in advising elected leaders but acknowledged its potential to obstruct policies. I confronted Byron about these statements, emphasizing the public's interest in understanding how the bureaucracy operates. Bureaucrats in Washington are now on notice. Either be transparent or we will record you.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Byron? Hi. Hi. I'm James O'Keefe, investigative reporter and muckraker. You're an adviser to the White House, aren't you?
I see. I've been in disguise as you were talking to my colleague who wore a hidden camera, And I've been listening to your conversation about how the deep state is real.
Speaker 1: People joke about the deep state, but, like, to some degree, it's real.
Speaker 0: Tell me more about that.
Speaker 1: No, Huggie. Have a good night.
Speaker 0: So you mentioned that one of the ways that the deep state operates, the bureaucracy, is that it creates commissions.
Speaker 1: One of the ways you can slow things down, in a bureaucracy is to sort of put together, like, a commission to study something, and then years will pass and nothing has happened.
Speaker 0: You said all these things you recorded, so if you could just elaborate a little bit more about what that means. Byron?
Speaker 1: I'm not really interested in having this conversation.
Speaker 0: Well, you've already had the conversation. Yeah. I have it all recorded. So
Speaker 1: That's lovely.
Speaker 0: So if you could just clarify for the American people, because people are really interested to know more about how the deep state operates. You clarified quite a bit. I have you on hidden camera. In fact, I was standing next to
Speaker 1: you Yeah.
Speaker 0: The whole time.
Speaker 1: It's so creepy.
Speaker 0: Well, I think it's really creepy that the deep state is operating the way that you describe it. Bureaucracies creating commission to slow things down. You even mentioned the word crushing, incoming leadership.
Speaker 1: RFK Jr. Is very bad a very bad pick for HHS. There's a good chance that the bureaucracy just crushes it.
Speaker 0: Do you recall you saying that?
Speaker 1: You guys hired someone to go on, like, fake dates with me.
Speaker 0: Yeah. It's investigative reporting. That's
Speaker 1: definitely not a credit to you, but okay.
Speaker 0: What do you what what about the deep state? What what look.
Speaker 1: No one denies that the bureaucracy exists. Do you think it's a good thing? That the bureaucracy exists.
Speaker 0: Do you think it's a good thing for the bureaucracy to do what you were describing?
Speaker 1: I think that, in general, the bureaucracy ought to implement the policies of the elected leaders. I also think the bureaucracy has a responsibility to advise our elected leaders as best they can. Mhmm. There's a reason we don't have politicals throughout the civil service. It's only the top.
Speaker 0: And what exactly is your role at the White House or the adviser to the White House?
Speaker 1: I'm I advise on research and development policy.
Speaker 0: Mhmm. I see. Are we
Speaker 1: done here?
Speaker 0: I don't know. You tell me.
Speaker 1: You're gonna follow me into the subway?
Speaker 0: I will not be following you into the subway. But I'm fascinated. The American people wanna know how this bureaucracy operates, and I think you've provided some clarity. So I thank you very much for that.
Speaker 1: Have a nice night. You too.
Speaker 0: Byron, adviser of the White House, very much shocked. Have a good evening, Byron. There he goes, shuffling along. Yeah. Some very interesting reactions on the streets of Washington, DC.
Byron at the White House. Just sort of slowly, he goes he's sort of waddling along. And, you know, I think he was surprised at first, but he kinda talked to us a little bit. I think he's just in a state of total shock. And you know what?
Bureaucrats in Washington, you're on notice. Okay? You are on notice. You either say these things openly and publicly and transparently or we catch you on tape, also known as investigative journalism. It is the nadir of immorality to hide these things from the public, and that's why we record you.
We're gonna be recording you en masse. Stay tuned. Reporting from the streets of Washington, DC. This is James O'Keefe in disguise. They never recognize me.

Video Transcript AI Summary
You treating migrants humanely? No, reports show they’re on planes without water.
That’s nonsense. Our detention facilities exceed all standards. Check the ICE website for our performance-based standards; they’re the highest in the industry.
But are you only detaining illegal criminals? There are reports of students showing bruises from deportation flights.
That’s absurd. We investigate any claims. The ICE professionals I led uphold the highest standards. We care for detainees while enforcing the law without apology.
Are you using military planes for deportations as a tactic?
No, we’re securing the border, which is a national security risk. Illegal entry is a crime. The current crisis overwhelms border security, leading to increased drug trafficking and terrorism. President Trump will secure the border and enforce immigration laws without hesitation. Expect our efforts to intensify soon.

Speaker 0: You treating migrants humanely? No. But there's been reports of them on planes with no water
Speaker 1: That was much crap.
Speaker 0: Complaining of
Speaker 1: a bunch of crap. What do
Speaker 0: you mean a bunch of crap?
Speaker 1: I used detention facilities at the highest detention standards in the industry. Any of the ICE standards our our detention standards are higher than any state or federal or local facility in the nation, in the world. Someone should go to the ICE website, look at PBNDS 11, performance based detention standards, and look at our detention standards, highest in the industry.
Speaker 0: But are you sure you're only getting, illegal criminal migrants? I mean, there were some pictures over the weekend of people that claimed to be students, Brazilian students who were showing examples of bruises on their arms from from American deportation flights.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. But if if they want me to come fight, we'll be investigating.
Speaker 0: But your assurance is what?
Speaker 1: The the men and women are ICE professionals. We do this for a living. And I can tell you, I ran ICE for years. I I I the first director of ICE camp through the ranks. Again, these men and women professional, highest attention standards in the industry.
We take care of these people. But we're going to enforce the law, and we're not gonna apologize for doing it.
Speaker 0: And you're gonna do it in a sort of public way with do you need to use the big military planes? Is that part of a sort of shock and awe tactic? No. They haven't been used before, have they, for migrants?
Speaker 1: No. We we got president Trump. We're gonna use all the government to secure our border, which is the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen. And we're gonna force laws to this country. It's not okay to enter this country illegally.
It's a crime. When you cause a crisis as big as the Biden administration calls, when you overwhelm the board, Joe, but they can't do their national security job, that's when the fentanyl come across to kill a quarter 1000000 Americans. That's when you have a 600% increase in sex trafficking. Thus, you have a record number of no inspected terrorists coming across an open border. President Trump's gonna secure the border as promised to the American people.
We're gonna force immigration laws. That's what we're gonna do without apology. We're we're we're on board. We're gonna go forward. You're gonna see it get a hell of a lot bigger in the near future.

Following the revelations, DHS announced that Wright has been placed on leave and is under investigation for his comments.

“We Don’t Let Them Get in Our Way”: GS-14 DHS Official Admits Department Will Defy Trump Appointed Secretary @KristiNoem’s “Marching Orders,” Reveals Tactics to ‘Interpret Priorities We Don’t Agree With’ “The secretaries can set the priorities for the department, but they can't actually tell us what to do.” “By the time the actual marching orders get to me and below, we can filter it in a way that steadies the ship.”

“The truth is, we don't let them [secretaries] get in our way,” admits Brandon Wright, Platform Services Manager for the Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov), on hidden camera, to an undercover @OKeefeMedia Journalist. Drawing an analogy to a septic tank, Wright described the multi-layered bureaucracy within DHS: “There’s a lot of layers, like [in] government… By the time the actual marching orders get to me and below, we can filter it in a way that steadies the ship.” “If we don’t agree with those priorities,” he said, noting executing orders often involves deceptively construing priorities set by political appointees to make them more practical and less disruptive, adding, “there’s a lot of room for interpretation.” When discussing @KristiNoem’s role as the Trump-appointed DHS Secretary, Wright didn’t mince words on his opinions over Noem’s qualifications for the position. “Kristi Noem doesn’t know… She doesn’t know her ass,” he remarked, adding, “The Department of Homeland Security could fall on her f*cking head, and she wouldn’t recognize what it is.” Wright also admitted his personal dislike of her leadership style, adding, “To say that I am not excited about this would be the most epic understatement.” The Department of Homeland Security provided the following statement to O’Keefe Media Group: “Secretary Noem has not seen the video in its entirety. This type of behavior will not be tolerated. This person has been placed on leave and is under investigation … The senior official says the termination of the official is imminent.” @realDonaldTrump @realTomHoman

Speaker 0: Christine, now I'm Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So the secretaries can set the priorities for the department. They can't actually tell us what to do.
We don't agree with those priorities. There's a lot of room for interpretation Mhmm. In terms of how we interpret what those priorities are.
Speaker 1: Meet Brandon Wright, a platform services manager for the Department of Homeland Security. Brandon Wright states to our undercover journalist how he will defy Kristi Noem's orders. Wright also said he won't let Kristi Noem get in his way.
Speaker 0: So you're talking about okay. We don't let them get in the way. Okay. Good. You're hearing, like, the real and stuff like that.
From, like, we don't let them get in the way. Yeah. And and frankly, that's actually I would argue I'm not even being an asshole. I would argue. That's my job.
You know how a sentence it works? Because Russell, like, catches all that shit and, like, filters and drops and then sand and everything. There's a lot of layers like that in government. And by the time actual marching orders get to, like, me and below, who can filter me in a way that I like it. That ease the ship.
Speaker 1: The official at DHS discloses how GS fourteens and GS fifteens at the DHS will defy Noam's orders and how they will disregard her agenda.
Speaker 0: I feel really, really bad on the other fifteens because they have to deal with the crazy shit. Shit. And it's
Speaker 2: not it's not easy.
Speaker 0: Because like I said, when it's like, the crazy person of the dresser, they have to, like, work really hard. Yeah. To, like, steal people. Yeah. A lot of ass kissing.
Maybe like, oh, what a great idea, secretary Noam. Well, but
Speaker 3: what if we did this?
Speaker 0: I think your idea would be even better if we did it like this.
Speaker 1: The DHS official tells our OMG undercover journalist that DHS could fall on Kristi Noem's head, and she wouldn't recognize what it is.
Speaker 4: She has no her asthma.
Speaker 0: The Department of Homeland Security could fall on her fucking head, and she wouldn't recognize what it is. Okay.
Speaker 5: Christina Ome doesn't know shit.
Speaker 1: Meet Brandon Wright, a platform services manager for the Department of Homeland Security. Brandon is a civil servant and a GS 14 employee. Brandon has been employed at DHS for the 1st Trump term, the Biden administration, and now the 2nd Trump administration. GS means general schedule and is a federal pay scale that has 15 grades. GS 13 to GS 15 are mainly top level technical and supervisory positions.
Speaker 0: So my job is my title is I'm the platform it's not James Bond. But it's platform services manager, which is way less sexy. I'm a full time civil servant, but I don't work for the state department. I work for Homeland Security. I was here during Trump's first 4 years.
I work for what's called HSSIN, h h s I n, the Homeland Security Information Network. Okay. We're like Google tools for Homeland Security Alliance. My role is I don't know what you know about IT, but I'm in product management. Most days, my job feels really fucking boring.
I can just sit on some meetings and, like, look at spreadsheets and PowerPoint decks and talk in meetings. Unfortunately, my bubble is far enough away that I don't get thrown into that too much. If you go because I I don't know. There's 15 levels in government with service. So, like, the 15 is the highest.
It's called GS. You'll hear people in DC. You'll hear people talk about it all the time. GS stands for general schedule. But that's, like, the level you are in government.
So I'm 14. Oh, wow. The 15s are the people that, like, are at the White House doing stuff like so, like, I report to those people. Like, I only rarely will I, like, go to the ranks or something. Or sometimes they're, like, rare because they're the 15s are the highest level.
They're the ones who interact with all the appointees. Yeah. I'm the one who makes all the reports and does all the work for the 15s Okay. And then, like, keeps them and so, like and, I mean, sometimes I do meet with the White House administration people too. And so at some point, I would like to that that would be a promotion.
I would like to get promoted at some point, which would be great. But, like, for now, if Harrison won, I would have been, like, stepping on the gas to get promoted.

Speaker 6: Okay. Good.
Speaker 0: You're hearing, like, the real talk. From, like, we don't let them get on the phone.
Speaker 1: Brandon Wright, the official at DHS, discloses how GS fourteens and GS fifteens at the DHS will define Noam's orders and how they will disregard her agenda, saying there's a lot of room for interpretation.
Speaker 0: I feel really, really bad on the fifteens because they have to deal with the crazy
Speaker 2: and it's not it's not easy.
Speaker 0: Because like I said, when it's, like, the crazy person of the dresser, they have to, like, work really hard Yeah. To, like, scare you. Yeah. A lot of, like, a lot of isn't it? They'd be like, oh, what a great idea, secretary Noam.
Speaker 3: Well, but what if we did this?

If we especially the 15 leaders
Speaker 6: that math.
Speaker 0: But even going down 14 and everything below. We don't agree with those priorities. There's a lot of room for interpretation Yeah. In terms of how we interpret what they said.
Speaker 1: Brandon Wright states to our undercover journalist how he will defy Kristi Noem's orders, stating that when marching orders from Noem reach him, he can filter them, drawing an analogy to that of a septic tank. And as it goes through the layers of government, he will defy those orders.
Speaker 0: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6: It all is, like, storage. Right?
Speaker 0: Yeah. But it's, like, in a private lot, and it starts off with, like, a bunch of layers of, like, rocks. And there's, like, living layers of rocks. So it, like, catches all the and, like, filters the rocks and then sand and everything. There's a lot of layers like that.
You got me. And by the time actual marching orders get to, like, me and below, who can filter it in a way that like it. Steadies the shit?

I've identified leakers within the organization, and we're actively uncovering more. Let me be clear: these individuals will be terminated, and they will face serious repercussions. Leaking information to the press, especially when it jeopardizes operations, puts law enforcement lives at grave risk, potentially leaving families without their loved ones.
We're employing every available tactic, including polygraphs, email analysis, and communication monitoring, to identify these individuals. It's astonishing how these bureaucrats, driven by their agendas to undermine our mission of ensuring American safety, will betray one another to protect themselves. Rest assured, I am fully committed to finding and removing these leakers to ensure the safety of our law enforcement officers and agents, and to enable us to continue our vital work.

If you remember, we talked, just last week about how I'm using polygraphs to to go after and to really interview these folks because we are a national security agency. I have that tool I can use.
Also looking at their emails, looking at their communications, and it's amazing how these bureaucrats who have an agenda to to stop the work that we're doing to bring safety to America, how they will sell each other down the river if it's just to protect themselves.

If ICE agents attempt to detain you or a loved one while wearing masks and driving unmarked vehicles without badges, you have the right to shoot them on-site in self-defense. Their behavior resembles that of gang members or the mafia, making it difficult to identify them. It is questioned why anyone would want to be an ICE agent, especially given their role in separating children from parents and deporting students. Deporting criminals is understandable, but targeting innocent people is considered ridiculous.

It could be gang members. You have every right to shoot at them. This would be the best self defense case. You're just in fear for your life. You don't know who's behind that unmarked vehicle or who's behind that mask.
This is ridiculous. What is our country coming to? Why would you wanna be a ICE agent anyway? Do you like separating kids from their parents? Do you like deporting students that are studying?
I can understand deporting a gang member or criminals, but innocent people, it's ridiculous.

Video Transcript AI Summary
A U.S. State Department counselor officer in Seoul, Huju Choi, admitted to dating a Chinese woman he suspected was an agent. Choi, who vets Chinese student visas, revealed this to undercover journalists. Experts like Gordon Chang note the difficulty in vetting Chinese nationals, citing instances of undisclosed PLA or CCP affiliations.
While Stephen Orlins argues that Chinese students fuel U.S. AI growth, Marco Rubio announced changes to Chinese student visas. The State Department fired 1,350 staff, including some from Choi's office, leaving Choi demoralized and potentially vulnerable to espionage.
Choi acknowledged his girlfriend's father was a CCP member and that she might have been a spy but failed to report the relationship as required by federal regulations. He instead confided in a stranger from a dating app. He dated Joy Zhao for six weeks, updating her on his State Department trip to Asia. Experts state that Chinese nationals are required to commit acts of espionage if demanded by authorities, posing a potential threat. The report calls for government officials to adhere to rules regarding contact with potential spies and encourages whistleblowers to report corruption.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You said you needed a Chinese girl?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Was supposed to sort of report what I knew about it.
Speaker 0: I was really concerned that it could be, like, related to CCP though.
Speaker 1: I know my dad. But he's, like, straight up coming to party. She could have been a spy even though.
Speaker 2: I don't really know.
Speaker 1: I defied my government for love. I
Speaker 3: would do anything for love, but I won't do that. That was a current foreign service officer at the US State Department casually dropping a poetic and potentially traitorous line. Quote, I defied my government for love.
Speaker 4: My name is Huju Choi. I'm a counselor officer here at the US embassy in Seoul, Korea. My primary role as a as a diplomat is to is to engage, you know, with people in other countries and kinda just be myself and show, you know, show who Americans are and show what America's all about.
Speaker 3: That was mister Choi speaking on behalf of the US embassy in Seoul in 2019. Mister Choi revealed how far he's gone being himself while engaging people in other countries when he admitted to one of our undercover journalists that he dated a Chinese woman last year he suspects was an agent. Now, Daniel Choi has worked with the State Department for almost twenty years and is currently in charge of vetting all student visas from China, a program that recent arrests show have become less about education and rather perhaps a pipeline for infiltration and espionage. This pipeline is actively pumping agents of the communist party into the heart of American industry and innovation. And according to experts like Gordon Chang, the vetting process is already difficult, leaving critical loopholes that are being exploited.
Speaker 5: Well, right now, it is very difficult to vet a Chinese national. And in the past, we've had many Chinese nationals, when they apply for a visa, not disclose, for instance, their role in the People's Liberation Army or their Communist Party membership. There's so many things that we can't verify. And especially as the regime goes to even greater lengths to weaponize, Chinese traveling abroad, we have got to be extremely careful.
Speaker 3: There is a distinct balance, however, between national security and isolationism. According to Stephen Orlins, the president of the National Committee on US China relations, America's golden age of AI growth in Silicon Valley has directly been fueled by the over 80,000 Chinese students who are approved yearly to study in The United States. Mister Orland says revoking these visas will cut off the pipeline and create long term damage.
Speaker 6: Chinese investment in The US is a good thing. It creates jobs in The United States and makes the American people's lives better. But there are people in The United States who believe that academic cooperation between The United States and China is not an American interest. I fundamentally disagree with that. When I went to Silicon Valley and visited all these companies, you look around and it's people who were from China.
Speaker 3: In May, Secretary secretary of state Marco Rubio announced major changes to Chinese student visas, including an aggressive sweep to revoke visas from those with connections to the communist party. In July, 1,350 staff were fired by the state department, including 263 foreign service officers like mister Choi and 15 directly from his office of consular affairs. Now this has left mister Choi, a divorced diplomat, ashamed of his job and in his own words, discouraged and demoralized, making him a perfect target for seduction by a spy.
Speaker 1: For the state's parliament, there's a big cut coming, like, July 1. Sectors like five So some sections will be cut by, like, 50%. In general, like, it's very, very And not It's all depressing. It's all all depressing.
Speaker 3: It's It's His reason? He felt it would be unfair.
Speaker 0: You said you needed a Chinese girl?
Speaker 1: Work based on the So she got this work visa to, like, you know, work with this American company that they have a lot of research. They just Yeah. I was supposed to whatever. Yeah. Because I think I know the way it works.
So to report what I The inside? Knew about it. Like, if you're just dating somebody or just like Scotland. Again, like, if they're just a contact and you, you know, play cards with them or something. When they're from like Iran Korea or North Korea
Speaker 0: or Russia or China.
Speaker 1: And I really want get out. Like Makes it more frustrating. I also thought that was like kind of unfair like Like I think We might date, and then we break up, you know, and then, like Yeah. You know, the government still has her information forever. Right?
If I were dating somebody and we were gonna get married, then I would probably from one of these, like, state countries or whatever. Right. Then maybe I would Gal, but like report.
Speaker 0: That's totally valid because it's like, don't they keep a do they, like, they keep a record of you and stuff and
Speaker 1: playing with different because you're like you're the 2020 cycle, I was like China? In Beijing. In Beijing? Beijing. Beijing?
They're allowed to take, like, locals at all.
Speaker 3: It's here that Choi surprisingly acknowledges that her father is a member of the communist party and that she may have been a spy herself.
Speaker 0: Were they worried? Like, is there a concern that it could be, like, related to CCP though?
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean They need to, like She could take I know my dad, like the Republican Party. Her dad was, like They've done nothing. Either a presidential or a federal minister of education. Yeah.
Yeah. Because he's, like, straight up coming to party. I don't know. She could have been a spy even though.
Speaker 2: I don't even know. You know
Speaker 1: the way they talk. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe she could have been
Speaker 1: a spy even though. I don't really know. You know the way they talk.
Speaker 3: A sweep of China's limited public database of government officials reveals at least one senior CCP officer with the same last who has served in China's Ministry of Education and specifically student exchanges in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. Whether it was this communist party member or another Zhao that follows Mao, it doesn't change the fact that mister Choi was required to report these dates to the State Department, all part of his duty to defend The United States Of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Federal regulations outlined in Security Executive Agent Directive three and the State department's manual 12 f a m clearly state that mister Choi was required to report, quote, within one business day what he considered to be an attempt by a foreign government to seduce a US diplomat, especially if they are related to a senior member of the CCP. Instead, mister Choi concealed the incident and reported it to a woman he met on a dating app, a complete stranger who also could have been a spy. On these dates, mister Choi forgot that he was a US diplomat.
He became, in his words, a random person on the Internet.
Speaker 0: So nice to talk to you. It was a really breath of fresh air.
Speaker 1: I'm a random person on the Internet. A
Speaker 3: random person on the Internet with a top secret clearance and the golden keys for entry for every spy and student in Asia.
Speaker 1: I saw her, like, five times in monthly use. I had this trip. One. Right? It was partially a work trip.
The work portion of it was in Korea. Yeah. But then, like, I also talked on, like Great question. Cambodia, Thailand, and Japan.
Speaker 0: I know you had between here.
Speaker 1: So Quite quite a lot of home. What? Seems so, like, you're not too sure that she wanted to be dating. Right? Yeah.
And she So, you know, before I go on the trip, I'm like, you know, look. It's you know, if it's easier, you can just kinda, like, call it quits now, like, you know Or Right. We're still friends. Like, the water was booted. Cut it.
But she didn't wanna do that. And so she was like, no. No. I don't wanna do that. Like, I just wanna let's just let's just keep it the way it is.
Yeah.
Speaker 3: Mister Choi said he dated the alleged spy Joy Zhao for six weeks, began dating her the week she entered America in September 2024, and she broke up with him as he returned from an official state department trip to key nations in the Asia Pacific. All of which mister Choi made sure to send updates and photos to her in real time.
Speaker 1: You can tell that, like, she's kinda losing interest. Right? I'm getting into the end of my trip, and I'm like, oh, yeah. I'm gonna be I don't gonna be back this Sunday. Right?
And then her her one her one word reply was, oh. Buy it.
Speaker 3: The United States has entered a new era of great power competition, which includes what could be a century long struggle against the communist party of China.
Speaker 5: Article seven and fourteen of the 2017 national intelligence law in China requires every Chinese national and every Chinese entity to commit acts of espionage if they receive a demand from relevant authorities. But even more important, the Communist Party demands absolute obedience of Chinese nationals and Chinese entities. Every Chinese entity or national in our country is a potential threat. We know that Chinese students have been used by the regime to commit acts of espionage.
Speaker 3: Part of the struggle is ensuring that the men and women serving our government don't fall prey to seduction operations and follow the well established rules for reporting contacts and conversations with chemical spies. We demand more from our public servants. That and the truth will preserve us for generations to come. I'm sad to report to you that this is not the beginning. In fact, many people and many federal government agents in DC continue to behave this way.
We demand better, but stay tuned because soon we'll be going to Washington DC and revealing more at the highest levels.

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.

Dude, I'm not even gonna talk to you if you're not gonna do what you what's right. If you're not gonna do what's right, I'm not talking to you. Because if you're just gonna try to get my information and then go tell him, no. Call. I have to grab a statement from you of what happened.
You don't have to I I did not I don't have to say anything. Okay. You want charges pressed? You saw it. Yes.

You saw him take the phone. Okay. But there's there's
Speaker 4: a procedure.
Speaker 0: Do what with what you saw. Not what you didn't see. What you saw. Okay. But there's a procedure I have to follow.
You wouldn't have followed it. If there's other way around, I'd be in cuffs right now. I still have to get a statement from I wouldn't be in cuffs. If you if you just Bro, just answer the question. Would I be in cuffs?

Speaker 1: Okay. I'm post certified.
Speaker 0: I'm older. No. You don't. You no. I'm doing my You take his side over the public.
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.
