The Glenview Police Department in Illinois dispatched Detective Kevin Conroy to the home of an undercover OMG journalist, following the release of a hidden camera investigation into now-former State Farm executive Haden Kirkpatrick. The officer cited an alleged violation of Illinois’ ‘eavesdropping statute,’ also known as 720 ILCS 5/14-1, and indicated the journalist could face a low-level felony charge.
In the hidden camera footage, Kirkpatrick criticized California wildfire victims: “People want to build in areas... for their ego. But it’s also a f***ing desert,” and confirmed State Farm’s calculated exit from the state’s insurance market, citing a potential $5 billion shortfall: “We’re overexposed here… so we’re going to cancel these policies.” He also acknowledged bias in hiring, stating he instructed HR to “find me the demographic profile of America in 2040,” which ultimately led to his termination and prompted his complaint to authorities.
Detective Conroy, who has reportedly never charged this statute before, is expected to explain its application to the state’s attorney. Glenview Police attempted to bring the journalist in for questioning, raising serious First Amendment concerns.
This is a retaliatory act against constitutionally protected journalism and a threat to press freedom. The journalist has declined to submit a statement, and OMG is preparing a legal response while requesting answers from the Glenview Police Department.

Tom Ellsworth and Patrick Bet-David reference OMG’s undercover footage of Pam Bondi, secretly recorded in a D.C. restaurant by an anonymous source, discussing “tens of thousands” of Epstein-related videos “all with little kids.” Bondi doubled down on her claims from the White House lawn, only to walk them back just days later... What changed?
No curiosity. No accountability.
“They don’t care about you… they want power.”
That should concern everyone.
Within minutes of reaching the U.S. border from South America, Anthony Rubin and his brother were surrounded by armed men, blindfolded, and taken deep into cartel territory.
“They tied us up… they just kept saying, ‘We’re going to see El Jefe,’” said Rubin.
They were interrogated, searched for wires, and forced to hand over all their electronics, except one hidden GoPro that miraculously survived.
The cartel smashed the equipment, destroyed footage, and said: “That’s the cost of your life.” Anthony and his brother walked away alive with a story few journalists live to tell.

According to an HHS spokesperson, “Even during a public health emergency, pharmaceutical companies are still required to follow strict protocols for clinical testing. For emergency use, companies must show that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Oversight doesn’t stop at approval — the FDA and other agencies also monitor products closely once they’re in use… HHS remains committed to full transparency and evidence-based oversight — putting the safety of the American people first.”
The company has still not responded to OMG's request for comment.
