JAMES O'KEEFE IS THE GUY WHO LEADS PROJECT VERITAS.
THIS IS A GROUP THAT DOES HATCHET JOBS ON ACORN,
PLANNED PARENTHOOD, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
THEY HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE AUTHORITIES.
THEY DECEPTIVELY EDITED TAPES AND USUALLY THE MAINSTREAM
MEDIA GOES ALONG.
THEY GOT A LITTLE WISER ABOUT IT THESE DAYS, IN FACT, IN SOME
OTHER PORTIONS OF THIS TAPE, O'KEEFE ACTUALLY BRAGS ABOUT WE
HAVE THE MEDIA GIVE US HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN FREE MEDIA BECAUSE THEY PUT IT OUT THERE, AND THE MEDIA
GOES I'M GOING TO CALL IT EVEN.
I DON'T KNOW.
THERE IS A TAPE AND I'M GOING TO DO GIANT HEADLINES ABOUT IT.
AM I GOING TO VERIFY IS REAL FIRST?
NO, THEN I WOULD BE A JOURNALIST.
NO, I'M JUST GOING TO RUN IT.
WHO CARES?
AND THEN LATER, WHEN THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS THAT IT
WAS DECEPTIVELY EDITED, EVEN INCLUDING REPUBLICAN ATTORNEY
GENERAL AND PROSECUTORS IN TEXAS SAY THAT THE GUYS WHO
EDITED THE TAPE OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD SHOULD BE HELD
TO ACCOUNT, I'M GOING TO RUN IT AS A SMALL LITTLE THING BUT
THE BIG
HEADLINES ARE ALL GOING TO BE ABOUT OH MY GOD, PLANNED
PARENTHOOD.
THIS IS WHAT THEY DO.
THEY PURPOSELY MANIPULATE THE PRESS AND BRAG ABOUT IT.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME FOLKS WHO NOW TURN THE TABLES ON THEM AND
THEY ARE SECRETLY TAPING PROJECT VERITAS GATHERINGS.
THERE WAS A STORY IN UNDERCURRENT RECENTLY ABOUT
AN EVENT WHERE THEY TRIED TO OFFER MONEY TO PROGRESSIVES
TO CAUSE VIOLENCE DURING THE INAUGURATION.
YOU CAN GO BACK AND WATCH OUR VIDEOS ON THAT.
THAT
WAS AMAZING AND THEY CAUGHT THEM ON TAPE TRYING TO GET
PEOPLE TO START RIOTS.
UNBELIEVABLE.
WERE THERE GIANT HEADLINES IN THE PRESS ABOUT THAT BY THE WAY?
ISN'T IT AMAZING HOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PLAYS
RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS?
SO WHEN THEY DO IT, IT IS ALL OVER THE PRESS.
WHEN SOMEBODY CATCHES THEM TRYING TO INSTIGATE
VIOLENCE DURING THE INAUGURATION AND BLAME IT ON LIBERALS, A
COUPLE OF HEADLINES HERE AND THERE.
WHERE IS CABLE NEWS NONSTOP TALKING ABOUT IT?
ONE OF THE GUYS WHO DID THAT WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE AND HIS NAME
IS RYAN CLAYTON.
HE WENT TO ANOTHER GATHERING THAT THEY HAD NEW YORK
WHERE THEY WERE ALL TALKING IN THEIR CLUB, APPARENTLY IT
IS CALLED FRIENDS OF ABE, THIS GATHERING, AND HE GOT -
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE VIDEO IN A SECOND.
HE STARTED DOING A ROAST OF O'KEEFE AND THEN WAS
PHYSICALLY ATTACKED.
HE WAS CHOKED, KICKED IN THE HEAD, THROWN DOWN A FLIGHT
OF WOODEN STAIRS, I WILL SHOW YOU ALL THAT IN A SECOND.
ANOTHER PERSON WHO IS A PROGRESSIVE ACTIVIST IS
JASON CARTER AND HE WAS ALSO BEATEN AND KICKED AND THERE'S
A THIRD WITNESS AS WELL, SO FIRST LET ME GO TO THE
QUOTES, THEN THE PICTURES, THEN THE VIDEO.
RYAN SAYS, WHEN HE WAS GRABBED BY THE NECK, "I FELT A POP
POP POP POP AND THEN THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO POP.
THERE WAS A MOMENT I THOUGHT OH GOD, THIS IS HOW I DIE.
LAST NIGHT WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING NIGHT OF MY LIFE."
CARTER, WHO WAS IN THE CROWD, WAS IDENTIFIED AS A LIBERAL
INFILTRATOR AND WAS ALSO ATTACKED.
CLAYTON SAID THAT HE WAS DRAGGED TO THE BAR, THE CROWD
CHEERED HIS ASSAILANTS AND O'KEEFE CALLED OUT HIS NAME.
UNFORTUNATELY, I'LL SHOW THE PICTURES IN A SECOND OF WHAT
RYAN
LOOKS LIKE NOW, BUT POLICE MADE NO ARRESTS AND A SPOKESMAN
SAID THE INJURED MEN WERE NOT ASSAULTED AT THE LOCATION
OF THE O'KEEFE PARTY.
THE PICTURES AND VIDEO SHOW OTHERWISE.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID THE POLICE WERE CALLED TO SETTLE A
HARASSMENT COMPLAINT, NOT FOR AN ASSAULT.
HOW ABOUT BEING THROWN DOWN THE STAIRS?
SERGEANT LEE JONES SAYS, "WE HAVE NO INFORMATION ON SOMEONE
BEING THROWN DOWN THE STAIRS.
THAT WOULD BE ASSAULT."
GREAT, WELL, WE HAVE INFORMATION FOR YOU IN A SECOND SO I AM
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SERGEANT GETTING THAT
DONE.
BY THE WAY, I SUSPECT THAT HE WILL.
HE IS A
SERGEANT IN HIS JURISDICTION, NO REASON WHY HE WOULDN'T.
ONE MORE QUOTE FROM RYAN: HE SAID, "I FEEL LIKE I STOOD
FACE-TO-FACE WITH FASCISM LAST NIGHT IN A BAR IN MANHATTAN.
THE BROWNSHIRTS ARE HERE."
LET ME SHOW YOU PICTURES OF RYAN CLAYTON AFTER HE WAS
HOSPITALIZED THAT NIGHT.
THERE HE IS WITH A NECK BRACE.
APPARENTLY HIS INJURIES TO HIS BACK ARE EVEN WORSE THAN HIS
NECK.
THERE HE IS BEING THROWN DOWN THE STAIRS AND HIS HEAD STOMPED
ON.
THERE HE IS BEING DRAGGED OUT.
THIS IS APPARENTLY NOT
AN ASSAULT.
ACCORDING TO THE O'KEEFE ORGANIZERS OF THIS EVENT,
THEY SAY THIS IS NOT AN ASSAULT.
IF THIS IS NOT AN ASSAULT, I HAVE TO ASK WHAT THE HELL IS IT?
NOW WE HAVE THE VIDEO.
THIS IS EXCLUSIVE TO TYT TODAY AND I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HERE
IN THE BEGINNING, SINCE RYAN CLAYTON IS TAKING THE VIDEO, YOU
CAN'T SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.
IN SOME OF THOSE PICTURES OF HIM
BEING DRAGGED AWAY, THEY ARE TAKEN BY SOMEONE ELSE'S VIDEO
CAMERA
BECAUSE THEY HAD MULTIPLE VIDEO CAMERAS AT THE EVENT GIVING
PROJECT VERITAS A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE.
BUT YOU WILL SEE
THE STAIRS HAPPENING AT THE END AND YOU WILL HEAR ALL OF THE
AUDIO OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AND CLAYTON STARTS WITH A SONG
IF YOU WILL THAT IS ROASTING O'KEEFE.
IN THE BEGINNING THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S HE IS DOING
AND
THEN THEY QUICKLY CATCH ON AND THE ASSAULT BEGINS.
LET'S WATCH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS.
I HAVE A QUICK ONE.
ANY FANS OF BROADWAY IN THE HOUSE?
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
FANS OF BROADWAY?
ANYBODY?
I HAVE A SONG FOR JAMES.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A ROAST,
I HOPE THAT'S OKAY.
JAMES O'KEEFE IS A LIAR, IT'S NO SECRET THAT HE
TAKES TAPES DECEPTIVELY, ALL THE GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE
RAPE CARD AND THE ALLEGATIONS SEXUALLY.
YOU CAN'T TAKE MY PROPERTY.
YOU CAN'T TAKE MINE.
THAT'S ASSAULT.
THIS IS ASSAULT AND YOU ARE ON CAMERA.
GET OFF OF ME.
I THINK HIS NAME IS RYAN CLAYTON.
FROM THE UNDERCURRENT VIDEO.
RYAN CLAYTON.
UNLAWFULLY.
YOU'RE ON VIDEO.
I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU UP.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOU SAW WITH THEIR OWN EYES THERE.
I KNOW SOME WILL
SAY, "THAT WASN'T HIS GROUP AND HE WAS INFILTRATING IT."
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT PROJECT VERITAS DOES.
"HE WAS
TAPING THEM SECRETLY."
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT PROJECT VERITAS DOES.
SECOND OF ALL, THERE IS NO EDITING DECEPTIVELY.
YOU JUST SAW THE VIDEO YOURSELF.
THEY DIDN'T TAKE LONG, IT WAS ABOUT TWO MINUTES.
IN THE
BEGINNING YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE IT BECAUSE HIS CAMERA WAS
COVERED.
WE WILL SEE IF THERE ARE OTHER ANGLES ON IT, WE'RE
PERFECTLY HAPPY TO SHARE ALL ANGLES OF THE EVENT WITH YOU.
IF YOU SAY YEAH, HE WAS DISRUPTIVE.
THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU DO.
YOU CALL SECURITY AND YOU ESCORT HIM OUT.
THAT HAS HAPPENED IN ALL GATHERINGS OF ANY POLITICAL
AFFILIATION.
WHAT YOU DON'T DO IS GRAB HIM BY THE NECK, DRAG HIM AROUND, THROW
HIM DOWN THE STAIRS AND THEN NEAR THE END AFTER YOU REALIZE,
I'M ON CAMERA BECAUSE HE SAID I'M ON CAMERA, LET ME TAKE MY
FOOT OFF OF HIS HEAD AND LET HIM GO FOR THE REST OF THE STAIRS.
THAT IS OBVIOUSLY ASSAULT.
HOW MUCH OF THIS ARE WE GOING TO COUNTENANCE, HOW MUCH OF THIS
ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW BEFORE WE REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD
IDEA?
WHEN YOU DON'T APPLY THE LAW EVENLY AND FAIRLY, YOU WIND
UP PROMOTING ANARCHY AND CHAOS.
NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT, PLEASE CHECK OUT THE
PICTURES AND THE VIDEO.
SEE THE PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED THE ASSAULT.
THEY DIDN'T ASK YOU TO COME IN, THEY DIDN'T ASK YOU TO
HANDLE THE SITUATION LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE OR
SECURITY AT THE FACILITY.
THEY TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO CHOKE HIM, BEAT HIM, AND
YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED THERE ON THE STAIRS.
I HOPE THE NEW YORK POLICE TAKE ACTION ON THIS.
IF THEY
DON'T, WHAT'S TO STOP THEM FROM DOING THIS TO ANYBODY AT
ANY TIME?
