EXCLUSIVE: James O’Keefe Discuses Incoming Footage from Washington DC Investigations and Deep State Attempts to Sabotage Trump – Zuckerberg Also Exposed? STAY TUNED (VIDEO)

Renowned investigative journalist and O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Sunday while he was in Washington, DC, exposing Deep State employees who gave up information on plans to sabotage President Trump’s incoming administration.

O’Keefe gave a sneak peek into his upcoming video releases on the Deep State, saying he caught officials “elaborating on how the Deep State operates,” including people from “the administrative state, Pentagon, FBI, etc., all these agencies, executive branch agencies, Executive Office of the White House.”

When asked why these people, especially those involved in intelligence or defense agencies, would spill the beans to a total stranger, O’Keefe said, “Officials who specialize in counterintelligence are so horrible at counterintelligence.” He added, “What if I were a Russian spy? What if we were Chinese spies?”

On Saturday, O’Keefe posted a clip of himself on his way to meet with an official, teasing his exposure of “corruption inside the agencies.” James’ disguise included fake tattoos and dyed hair for a restaurant date with assets planted on the inside.

Deep state guys in DC didn’t recognize me.

In this author’s opinion, these incoming reports are shocking.

O’Keefe spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Sunday at Reagan International Airport as he departed Washington.

Watch below:

Conradson: You’re leaving DC after spending quite the weekend here exposing the Swamp. What can our readers and our viewers look forward to seeing from you [this] week and the next week after that?

O’Keefe: Well, I’m a little tired. I have the fake tats on, and I dyed my hair. I was in disguise and was basically up most of the night undercover on some meetings. We got some tapes within the deep state coming out this week, people behaving badly, and some officials that were elaborating on how the Deep State operates, the administrative state, Pentagon, FBI, etc., all these agencies, executive branch agencies, Executive Office of the White House. More tapes coming out this week, probably Tuesday and Wednesday. Also following up on Zuckerberg and Facebook and reports about collaboration with the Biden administration, that’s coming out tomorrow. So, we got a busy week ahead of the inauguration. I’m going back to New Jersey right now, back to the office, get that produced. Stay tuned for tomorrow.

Conradson: Speaking of the inauguration, you know, President Trump will be inaugurated in about one week. What are you learning about deep state’s plans to sabotage the next Trump Administration?

O’Keefe: Well, that I can’t— I’d be scooping myself if I gave that to you now, but we’re gonna have some insights into how that operates and what these officials are thinking and saying and doing this week.

Conradson: I find it so odd how willingly these people give up information to some stranger that they just met, especially when it’s somewhere like DOD or intelligence agencies or someone with that background. Does that scare you? Does it worry you that they’re so willing to…

O’Keefe: It’s surprising, actually, to me that officials who specialize in counterintelligence are so horrible at counterintelligence. It shows how broken our government is, and we’re kind of secret shopping their ability to do their jobs. I mean, what if I were a Russian spy? What if we were Chinese spies? When I asked these officials, and their reactions are very telling, you’ll see it Tuesday, Wednesday, this week.

Money supply growth hits 27-month high as Fed signals dovish turn, raising inflation concerns

The U.S. money supply has shifted from historic contractions in 2023 and early 2024 to accelerated growth, reaching a 27-month high in November 2024, with year-over-year growth hitting 2.35%. This marks a sharp turnaround from the 8.5% decline seen in November 2023.

The Fed’s accommodative stance, including multiple interest rate cuts in late 2024, has driven money supply growth. This shift prioritizes economic stimulus over inflation control, despite CPI inflation remaining above the Fed’s 2% target.

Persistent inflation (CPI at 2.7% and core CPI at 3.3%) and a projected $3 trillion federal deficit for 2025 have raised concerns. The Fed’s policies aim to manage debt sustainability but risk fueling long-term inflationary pressures.

Bond yields, such as the 10-year Treasury reaching 4.73% and the 20-year Treasury surpassing 5%, reflect investor fears of inflation and fiscal instability, signaling doubts about the Fed’s approach.

The U.S. economy faces ongoing challenges from fiscal and monetary expansion, with money supply up 192% since 2009. Critics warn that the Fed’s reliance on easy money may lead to sustained inflation and financial instability, with significant implications for taxpayers and economic stability.

The U.S. money supply has entered a new phase of accelerated growth, reaching a 27-month high in November 2024, according to data from the Mises Institute. This marks a significant reversal from the historic contractions seen throughout much of 2023 and early 2024, when the money supply experienced its steepest decline since the Great Depression. The recent uptick in money supply growth, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s dovish policy shift, has reignited concerns about inflation and the long-term stability of the U.S. economy.

A historic reversal in money supply trends

Year-over-year growth in the money supply reached 2.35% in November, the highest level since September 2022. This represents a sharp turnaround from November 2023, when the money supply shrank by 8.5% year over year. The current growth trend, which began in July 2024, has seen the money supply increase month over month for five consecutive months, with November’s 0.95% rise marking the third-largest monthly increase since March 2022.

The metric used to track these changes – the Rothbard-Salerno money supply measure (TMS) – was developed by economists Murray Rothbard and Joseph Salerno to provide a more accurate gauge of money supply fluctuations than the commonly cited M2 measure. While M2 has also shown growth, it has outpaced TMS, with M2 increasing by 3.73% year over year in November, up from 3.13% in October.

This resurgence in money supply growth follows a period of unprecedented contraction, during which the money supply fell by more than at any point in the past six decades. The reversal suggests that the Federal Reserve’s recent policy decisions, including multiple interest rate cuts, are beginning to take effect.

The Fed’s dovish pivot and its implications

The Federal Reserve’s shift toward a more accommodative monetary policy has been a key driver of the recent money supply growth. In September 2024, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) cut the target policy interest rate by 50 basis points — a move typically reserved for periods of economic uncertainty or impending recession. The Fed followed this with additional rate cuts in November and December, signaling its willingness to prioritize economic stimulus over inflation control.

This dovish stance has raised eyebrows among economists, particularly given the persistent inflationary pressures in the economy. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.7% year over year in November, while core CPI remained flat at 3.3%. These figures are well above the Fed’s 2% inflation target, suggesting that the central bank is prioritizing other economic concerns, such as managing the federal debt, over reining in inflation.

The Fed’s actions also reflect the growing influence of fiscal policy on monetary decisions. With the U.S. Treasury facing a projected $3 trillion deficit for fiscal year 2025, the federal government relies on low interest rates to manage its $36 trillion debt burden. By cutting rates, the Fed has created more room for open market operations, allowing it to purchase excess government debt and keep Treasury yields in check.

Anti-white discrimination lawsuit against Pfizer reinstated after appeals court admits it goofed

Anti-woke medical group not required to unmask its members to challenge fellowship that excludes certain races, 2nd Circuit belatedly agrees. Reversal "upholds the ability to bring civil suits without fear of reprisal," ally says.

ixty-seven years after the Supreme Court blocked Alabama from forcing the NAACP to turn over its membership lists to chill its speech, and four years after the high court extended that bar to California's attempted unmasking of a free-market group's donors, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals finally got the message on freedom of association and privacy.

A three-judge panel scrapped its own decision upholding dismissal of a racial discrimination lawsuit against Pfizer by anti-woke medical advocacy group Do No Harm on behalf of members – white and Asian-American college students ineligible for race-based fellowships — saying it was wrong to deny the group legal standing based on its members using pseudonyms.

That means Do No Harm doesn't have to petition the full New York City-based appeals court to hear the case, having won over two of the three panel judges in a petition for rehearing.

It will now return to trial court, which the panel majority said incorrectly ruled that "Do No Harm’s failure to establish standing to secure a preliminary injunction required all out dismissal … even if their allegations are otherwise sufficient to establish standing at the pleading stage."

Notably, the majority said its about-face was not prompted by last year's SCOTUS ruling in the social media censorship case Murthy v. Missouri, which the opinion said "Do No Harm views as determinative" on the requirements for standing.

"Nothing in the Murthy Court’s discussion addresses the critical issue in this case: if the plaintiff fails to present sufficient evidence to satisfy the standard, should the court dismiss the case or simply allow it to go forward?" the unsigned opinion said.

The dissent by Judge Richard Wesley, nominated by President George W. Bush, denied Do No Harm's white and Asian-American members had standing for a different reason: They made "only sparse, conclusory assertions that they were ready to apply to a program that would shape at least the next five years of their lives, and perhaps the better part of their early careers."

"College campuses are meant to be a marketplace of ideas, yet students all across the country have stopped voicing their views for fear of official retaliation and unofficial ostracism," said Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Tyson Langhofer, who represents Do No Harm. The panel's reversal "upholds the ability to bring civil suits without fear of reprisal."

"It’s not every day that a court reverses itself after a losing party moves for reconsideration," said legal scholar Ilya Shapiro, who wrote the Manhattan Institute's friend-of-the-court brief in favor of Do No Harm's member privacy, joined by the Young America's Foundation, which said it "successfully resisted" the Defense Department's unmasking demands when it sued.

"It has become all too common for people to be scared to attach their names to lawsuits in fear of retaliation," said Executive Director Kimberly Hermann of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, which has a campus-focused First Amendment project and also joined Shapiro's brief.

The institute said students were "disproportionately likely to refrain from discussing 'controversial topics,' such as 'race, religion, and sexual orientation'" but are emboldened by anonymity, "a cornerstone of our free speech culture and legal framework."
