Transcript of Google's Shadow Algorithm: The Search Results They Hide | James O'Keefe Part 2 DSH #1010
Digital Social HourI mean, I'm sure other countries have sent spies and gotten information.
And we don't know it. And with me, I'm a reporter, so I publish it. But I said to the guy, I confronted him on this week. I said, You're lucky I'm not a Chinese spy.
What was his response?
He was mute. They run away. Usually, they parked the car way far away. So it was a long, awkward walk.
I love how you filled that part, too. All right, guys, we got James here. He just did 20 pullups.
Right over there. Wearing this freaking thing, it's like 20 pounds.
It's like a weighted vest.
It's a weighted vest right there.
Yeah, well done, man. You just had four whistleblowers on stage with you. Yes. What were they talking about?
There was two board relations, one Disney, one FEMA. These are people who were witnessed to, for example, children being trafficked or FEMA not doing their jobs, the Disney guy, children being transitioned through different gender. They are very brave people on stage with me. We're announcing this program. We're going to defend them, pay their legal bills, and support them when they speak the truth. Wow.
The two border ones, is the government going after them? Yes.
Well, they are, but there's a new administration coming January 20th, so hopefully that'll change.
Line in the Sand just came out. Congratulations.
Line in the Sand. I'm very proud of the film with Tucker Carlson. It was really a special movie because it was a documentary, but it was not really like any documentary I was ever seen. It shows versus tells. It takes you there. I go to Mexico, I follow them on the train all the illegal emirants all the way to Los Angeles, New York City, where the fraud is being perpetrated, and in Texas, where they have the NGOs that house all the unaccompanied children.
How much did it cost to get across the border?
Me, personally, I didn't cross the border, but about 10 $4,000 for many of the people that we put cameras on. It could range. It could be from 1,500 to 30,000 for some of the Chinese illegal immigrants.
Wow. That's the Mexican border, right? Yes. I wonder if that's going on in Canada, too.
It is. Zachary Apotheker, one of the board patrol agents, stationed in Vermont on the Canadian border. I did not realize how porous it was there, but a lot of people are sneaking into Vermont from Quebec. Really?
I did not know that. That's not really being covered too much in the mainstream No, it's not.
And Zachary, in the end of the film, if you haven't seen Line of the Sand, it's very powerful. He's in his patrol car on the Canadian border just crying because he's so frustrated by the cover-ups of children getting raped. And he speaks publicly. You're not supposed to speak publicly when you're in your patrol car. He does so. They took his gun, his badge away for speaking out. Damn.
I also saw you recently exposed Biden. Someone was talking about how he was pretty much declining mentally.
An advisor to the National Security Council in the White House was caught on one of my hidden cameras on a date, spilling all this information while Biden can't complete a sentence. That may not be that shocking, but he said it's worse than we think. And further, the guy works for the National Security Council, which is high level, and he's just blabbing in a restaurant, and it begs the question, what type of people do we have working in the intelligence community? That's stupid. It's the worst espionage ever to be out there and just tell them, what if I was a Chinese spy? And I think that was the real big headline of that story.
I mean, I'm sure other countries have sent spies and gotten information.
And we don't know it. And with me, I'm a reporter, so I publish it. But I said to the guy, I confronted him on this week. I said, you're lucky I'm not a Chinese spy.
What was his response?
He was mute. They run away, and usually they parked their car way far away. So it was a long, awkward walk.
I love how you filmed that part, too. You question them all the way out.
Yes. I was wearing a tuxedo because I was coming from an event, and it was a long walk. Yeah.
You're good at lining up those dates, man.Yes.Well done. That's what we do. That's what we do. A smooth talker.
Yeah. You just got to talk about them. You got to express interest in them. People people confess their secrets.
Yeah. I loved your investigation into Disney, by the way.
He did Disney over the summer. The guy here from Disney was one of the guys inside the company that gave us the intel, and they fired him, and we just gave him $100,000 check to support him.
Well done, man. Well done. Disney just removed a transgender scene. I don't know if you saw this from one of their movies. I did not know that. Yeah, it happened recently. There was a scene about transitioning, and it got removed.
I didn't know.
Do you know what movie it was? I don't. We'll have to link it below. But yeah, I think you played a role in that.
Well, and people said, Don't go after Disney. They're too powerful. I don't know. I think the public will respect me more if I don't show favor or lack of favor for this or that. If you're doing something wrong, you're trying to hide it, I'll I suppose you.
Yeah, that's what I love about you. You're not scared of any company.
I was in LA making this film in postproduction, and everyone was like, Don't go after Disney. Don't go after Disney. There were conversations and people said, Don't go after Disney. I said, No, I'm not going to not go after. If it hurts, it'd be worse for me if I took that advice.
Yeah. I mean, you went after Google. You went after a lot of big companies.
Black Rock, Pfizer, the FBI, Disney, the cartel is in the film. That was a little terrifying.
The most powerful enemies in the world.
Yes. You have the back of the people and you're the enemy. As you know, I was terminated from my own creation. I was fired from Prashic Paritas. The institution I created, in many regards, do the same work It runs contrary to being part of an institution. You have to be a maverick. You have to be an outsider to do this.
Yeah, insane. What did you find out at Google?
I did many stories on Google. I think the one that comes to mind is Zahri Voorheys exposed Google's machine learning algorithms about fairness. If the information is unfair, they'll change the search results to make it fair.
You saw it with the Trump episode.
Whatever that means, that's like science fiction stuff. What do you mean information is fair? I think you want true information. That was a really interesting one.
You saw with the Trump-Rogen episode, you couldn't search it on Google.
Well, there you go. It didn't pop up. That's an example.
Certain topics are still shadowbanned to this day.
Yes. That's definitely an example. It's a circumstantial example. You got to go into the code and get the damning. There was one quote we got from Jen Janai at Google who said, We have to, this is in 2019, she said, We have to prevent the next Trump situation. She was saying, We got to prevent Trump from winning the election. To have them say it, to have the code that shows it, that's what you need.
Act Blue was a big expose that you did as well.
In 2023 and '24, we exposed FEC donations to Act Blue. Very curious that there were people that were in poverty donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Act Blue.
Do you think campaign financing laws should be changed because there's certain parties raising way more than others?
I think the federal election commission needs to investigate that situation. I I don't know. I never got to the bottom of why that was happening. Was it money laundering from a foreign country? Was it something to do with Stripe and the payment processor? Was it a glitch on the FEC website? We never got the answer. It's remarkable how few people were curious except for the people, not the institutions. They didn't care. Right. We're not yet. We haven't found the truth on that one.
Fbi still has your phones.
Yeah, I was rated three and a half years ago. They still have my devices on I mean, I can get them back, but they probably put all this type of spyware on there, so I don't know if I wanted them back.
I want to want those back.
In principle, I should have them back.
Yeah, three and a half years. And you've probably made numerous requests, and they're just being ignored.
I've spent millions on legal fees and motions and They rated me, and they could still indict me. I don't think they will. The ACLU is defending me. It was definitely a chilling effect. You want to talk about chilling effect in the press. To raid a journalist's house, that's the greatest chilling effect ever. Perhaps one of the most venal sins to do it to a reporter because you're chilling out all the source come forward. It was really despicable and traumatizing, actually.
Absolutely. Did they ever tell you what story that caused that?
Yeah, it was the Ashley Biden diary, the daughter of the President. Hunter Biden? Ashley, his sister, has a diary, and someone provided it to me, and I looked into it, never published it. They rated me anyway.
Wow. That's nuts, man. I hope you beat that case, dude.
I'll be supporting you. I hope I do more than beat it. I people who do this go to jail because it's illegal. The attorney general of the United States, Mary Garland, expressly forbids force against news reporters, and they just broke their own law. That's why the laws don't really matter. It's who's the one enforcing them.
Well, for a resigned.
I think we have a change of momentum or the pendulum is shifting here for a little while, for sure.
Absolutely. You posted on X that you believe Edward Snowden should be pardoned.
I do.
I do as well. I I think Trump can make a big decision with that one. Do you think he'll do it?
Do I think he'll do it? I don't know. I don't know about predicting whether he will do it. I think he should do it. I think what he uncovered with spying on people is sometimes that's what you have to do. Sometimes you just have to do things that are uncouth or not necessarily legal. If you're a whistleblower doing it, you have to do it because we are predicated as a country on the public's right to know information. If you want to live in a different country where you are abiding by a different set of values, but America is based on the consent of the government, and therefore the public must know things like that. Therefore, I think you should be pardoned.
Absolutely. Elon Musk buying X. Was that the savior of social media in your opinion?
I think it was the greatest thing that ever happened to the first time in the history of Western civilization.
I think it was massive for someone like you because you could actually share your stories. Like I was banned on Twitter.
Then weeks before I broke that Pfizer story, Elon put me back on. But not for Elon Musk. I don't think that any of that would happen. I've been fighting this people most of my life. I've been doing this since I was in college, so 20 years, and embattled and underdog and constantly under. It does feel weird to have the culture and climate that we're in right now.
Yeah. We went to the same college, by the way.
Is that right? Rutgers. I think I remember you telling me that. What year I did you graduate?
I did not graduate.
More power, too.
Yeah, I started in 2015. Okay. Made it a year.
Well, Rutgers, New Brunswick? Yeah. Okay.
Of course.
New Brunswick. Is that where you're from?
I'm from New Jersey. Where? Bridgewater.
I'm from Bergen County. Let's go.
Yeah, let's go. Jersey people work hard, man.
Jersey people.
They're loyal.
Jersey people are special people.
They are. Jersey Shore painted us in a bad light.
I don't even know. I think all those people are from New York, Binghamton or something. They weren't even from New Jersey.
When are you investigating Bill Gates? Because that's needed.
I can't comment on things I'm doing at the moment, but in late January, I got something coming.
I love it, dude. I love it. You probably get pulled in so many directions.
There's too many. That's why you have to be careful with your time because everyone's got a story to tell. But it really comes down to the evidence that you're showing, not just the testimony, but the evidence.
What do you think of all the drone stuff happening in Jersey and New York?
I don't have a comment because I don't know. I don't like to speculate. I have to speculate. I haven't looked into that. I don't know.
I like that. People could have made up an answer.
I don't know. I tried to only say things I know. So we'll see.
Any documentaries you're working on next, though?
Well, I'm trying to get Line of the Sand widely distributed. Right now, it's on Tucker, and I'm working on maybe theaters, maybe. Nice. Because I really think it's a really important and seminal work for me. It was really hard to make and a very unusual That's going to be a tough battle because what they did to that one movie, the child trafficking one, I forget the name.It.
Was a couple of years.Sound of Freedom? Yeah. They blocked it in a lot of theaters, right?
I think that things are changing in the market economy. I think that's going to change. I think people want to see this thing.
That's good, man. Well, I can't wait to keep up with you. Where could people keep up with up to date with what you're up to? I'm James O'Keefe, IIII.

Drinking or driving is a decision that could change your whole world. Things will never be the same if you ever get a DUI. Because legal fees and time in court are just the beginning.

You can face a life-altering injury or even death, but you're not the only one that can face those consequences. Your decision to drink and drive can permanently impact not just your world, but someone else's world as well, whether you injure them or leave their loved ones grieving. The next time you're out drinking, call a ride share, a taxi, a sober friend, or a designated sober driver. The only decision that will change your world for the better is the decision to call for a sober ride. Drive sober or get pulled over. Paid for by Netza..
