Transcripts
From the September 16 edition of Fox News' Hannity:
HANNITY: So, in other words, when you go to Baltimore and D.C. and New York and San Bernardino and San Diego, and this all happened, were there any cities you went to where you just didn't get any videotape not worthy to air?
GILES: We are airing it. It's pretty worthy. Everyone seems to be --
HANNITY: In other words, you didn't go into one office, and they said, "We're not going to help you do anything like that?"
GILES: No.
HANNITY: Not one? Every place you went, they helped you or were willing to help you, either -- not report you for an underaged prostitution ring --
BREITBART: Well --
HANNITY: -- evade taxes, as we've --
BREITBART: Right. The -- it is interesting. There's no place, as ACORN tried to state, that kicked them out based upon the premise that they were doing something nefarious.
From the September 13 edition of Fox News' America's News HQ:
SHAWN: You went to -- two tapes have been released. They've been released on BigGovernment.com. That's where they've been released first. And James, ACORN says that you went to, what, five other places around the country where they kicked you out. I mean, what can you say about that? Were there -- did you find ethical, honest ACORN employees in any of the places that you went to that kicked you out and said, "No, we're not going to do this. We're not going to cooperate. We're not going to have ACORN help you?"
O'KEEFE: What I will say is that when we -- after we did the Baltimore ACORN facility, they issued a statement saying we were kicked out of all the other ones, and then we came out with the D.C. one, and they were -- they turned out to be liars. So, I would just hold out and see, you know, how much they're willing to lie. And at the end of this, we're going to see the truth come out, and we're going to see them apologize to me and Hannah.
SHAWN: You want an apology from ACORN?
O'KEEFE: Absolutely.
GILES: Also, about the whole kicking out, I mean, the women in Baltimore hugged me and -- when I left. And the women in D.C. -- I did follow-up phone calls, and they asked if I could come and meet them for coffee so we could further discuss how to make this possible.
SHAWN: So, at least in these first two tapes, they didn't kick you out, but you are saying that there were some that did refuse? James or Hannah?
GILES: Not -- no.
O'KEEFE: Say that again?
SHAWN: Were there some that refused your offers, that actually did not -- were not willing to cooperate?
O'KEEFE: In none of the facilities -- none of the facilities kicked us out. That's a lie.
