The report entailed an admission from Charlie Kraiger, a top official in the cybersecurity policy analyst and foreign affairs executive office of the president, who was caught on camera stating to O'Keefe that President Biden is in mental decline and that the White House wants to replace Kamala Harris as vice president.
O'Keefe, the CEO of OMG Media, told Kirk that he was able to carry out the explosive operation using dating apps, a disguise, and the determination to succeed.
"A lot of the biggest stories we get are just meeting people on dating apps," said O'Keefe, who arrived with hidden cameras to a "date" with Kraiger in Washington, D.C.
"I'm trying to inspire people, and sometimes as a leader, you have to do the thing yourself because you can't ask other people to do the thing that you're not wanting to do," O'Keefe told Kirk.
Video footage of the report shows O'Keefe wearing a disguise while meeting with Kraiger at a restaurant. The journalist, who has millions of followers on social media and is considered highly recognizable, was able to pull off the stunt despite his status.
O'Keefe told Kirk, "I'm sure you get this all the time, but in my business, people are like, 'Well, I can't do what you do, James, because I'm too recognizable."
"So I thought, 'What better way to show those people up than to have James O'Keefe meet with a guy who works with the White House?' Because now those people have no excuse," he said. "So, I decided to just prove to people that it can be done, and it will be done."
Kirk asked the journalist how he was able to get Kraiger to disclose White House sensitive information, which O'Keefe explained that it's rather quite easy due to the "narcissistic" people that reside in Washington, D.C.
"He's not a stupid guy. He's a high-up guy. But in Washington D. C., Charlie, people are very, you know, for lack of a better word, narcissistic," said O'Keefe.
"They're very focused on their own grandiose identities. So, it just goes to show you that people just want to talk about themselves," explained O'Keefe, referencing a part of the report where he stroked Kraiger's ego and called him a modern-day "James Bond."
O'Keefe, who played the role of a gay man to get information out of Kraiger, told Kirk "I will do anything to get the story."
"I'm a thespian, right?...I played pimps, drug dealers, traffickers, homeless people, telephone technicians. But if you look at this video, I was dialed in," he said.
"It's very easy for me to expose them," the journalist continued. "So, when you just go into a bar in Washington, and they're all narcissists, they all believe in themselves, they don't believe in what they do, so, that's the story."
O'Keefe released a video of the undercover operation on Wednesday and it has since garnered more than 23 million views on X.
