James O'Keefe Launches OMG After Decade of Sacrifice, Targets Most Powerful People in the World
Charlie Kirk reflects on James O'Keefe's decade-long journey building investigative journalism organizations through personal sacrifice, lawsuits, and raids. After witnessing the difficulty of building versus the ease of destruction, Kirk reveals O'Keefe's new venture OMG has recruited 1,200 citizen reporters in just weeks. The investigative journalist now sets his sights on the most powerful people and interests in the world in what Kirk describes as a spiritual war.

A Decade of Sacrifice and Building
Charlie Kirk opens with a powerful tribute to James O'Keefe's relentless work ethic over the past decade. Kirk recalls how both men were constantly crisscrossing the country—Kirk building Turning Point USA while O'Keefe was "putting points on the board" with his investigative journalism work. They would literally pass each other in donors' living rooms and airport terminals, taking red-eye flights as they pursued their respective missions.
Kirk emphasizes the immense sacrifice O'Keefe made to grow his nonprofit organization, noting that he was "vastly underpaid" and "vastly under compensated." O'Keefe traveled the world, put his neck on the line, faced lawsuits, and was even raided by authorities—all in service of his investigative mission.
The Difficulty of Building Versus Destroying
Kirk draws a sharp contrast between the difficulty of building something versus taking it over or destroying it. "Building things is really hard," he explains. "Taking them over is not that hard." According to Kirk, taking over organizations requires being "awfully Machiavellian" and "really parasitic"—something he says the left excels at.
But even easier than taking things over is destruction. Kirk uses a simple analogy: "It takes zero talent to take apart a bicycle. It takes a lot of talent to build one. You could just take a hammer and start destroying stuff." However, he maintains hope that "a builder can, if done right, build faster than a destroyer can destroy."
The Launch of OMG and a New Mission
Kirk reveals that O'Keefe has stood up a new organization called OMG, which in just a few weeks has assembled a CRM (customer relationship management system) of 1,200 citizens who have signed up to be citizen reporters. While Kirk expresses enthusiasm about what's coming, he refuses to reveal details: "As much as I'd love to tell you what it's about to come out, I'm not going to."
What he does share is the scale of the target: "It's so big. We're going after the most powerful people in the world. In the world. The most powerful people, most powerful interests."
A Spiritual War
Kirk concludes by framing the entire endeavor in spiritual terms, stating, "I think it's a spiritual war," referencing comments he made on Tim's show. This framing elevates the investigative work beyond mere journalism or political activism into a battle between good and evil, truth and deception.
