mr. o'keefe was not available today. the young woman that played the prostitute in that interview was supposed to be here but sent us a text message saying, sorry, i can't do it. we don't know if in fact they have tried other acorn offices. the statement we received from acorn today from the national spokesman was straightforward. he called this an example of gotcha journalism and noted they tried to do this in other offices at acorn and failed to do so and that they want to see the full video before they make further comment. the other offices they told me were in new york, philadelphia, and los angeles. we have no confirmation of that nor do we have any reason to not believe the acorn spokesman. >> all right. thanks very much, bill tucker. a lot of reporting there. >> on this note, let's start with this controversy, keith, of what do you make of this discussion? >> it's another embarrassment for acorn. the only reason they're on the radar screen is because they became well known -- most people never heard of acorn two

mr. o'keefe lied to get his appointment. not dressed like he was on the internet. and we were growing suspicious of the questions he was asking at the philadelphia acorn housing office, we called the police and filed this report. >> reporter: acorn claims o'keefe was turned away in other offices in addition to philadelphia. in baltimore, roosevelt leftwich, abc2 news. >> the investigation is expected to take several months. >>> tonight police in baltimore county are trying to find out who burglarized and ransacked a church. it happened at st. andrews lutheran church on taylor avenue in the hillendale area. we're told the damage was centered mostly in the church office where two laptops and a hard drive were taken. papers were thrown everywhere and office equipment was tossed around. >> they went throughout the building, there's no doubt about it because of cabinets left open and this is the only place i really see any damage. and the office next door. >> reporter: the president of the church council says he thinks they may have gotten through a window in the office

mr. o'keefe. also andrew breitbart who posted the undercover tapes. mr.bart joins us from los angeles. sorry you have to go through this andrew. you know, it's unpleasant. tell us your strategy. you got your attorneys lined up and what do you think is going to happen? >> well, i can't speak to the lawsuit filed because i haven't been served yet. i can speak to the issue of the expose that james and hanna have done in film work. i can speak to the fact that this is a textbook case of journalism exposing how taxpayer funds are being misused. this is pure corruption found on these acorn tapes. i see this lawsuit as an attempt to stifle what is an obvious expose and its taxpayers money that is being used to fund this. acorn is still a taxpayer funded organization, and the two people that they brought in, acorn brought in on this are actually people who were fired because of the expose and bertha lewis actually thanked hanna and james for helping them. all i can see is this lawsuit is an attempt to stifle free speech and the first amendment and an attempt to m

mr. o'keefe is a conservative videographer.he went after a planned parenthood and called up and said, oh, i want my money to go for abortions for black women because there are just too many of those black people. this young man, he has his agenda and i guess he is trying to make his way in the world. i do think it is disturbing, however, that if you want to go undercover, to coming to an organization that 99% is black and brown people, that you would think to dress up as a pimp and prostitutes and sort of believe your way into these offices. i think that says a little bit about what mr. o'keefe things in black and brown organization would go for. i hope the republicans and the right wing compensate him in this economy. i guess everyone needs to find a way to earn a living. but i do think that mr. o'keefe should talk to his mother. i do not think his mom would be pleased with him playing a pimp. host: chicago, doris, a democrat. caller: good morning, i am a fan of acorn. i receive the newsletter and i did send you a donation yes

mr. o'keefe who has done this before and admits he's a right wing conservative videographer who does things like this and, you know, we are going to make sure that all of the tapes get out and have -- and seek to stop this kind of thing. >> are you open to an external review right now because there's talk not only of federal but state and local authorities, they want to investigate a.c.o.r.n. and find what else is going on given all this commotion. >> well, ever since last year these kinds of things have come up. >> but now the fbi director says he's -- robert muller, he's thinking about an investigation. >> well, maybe he is, maybe he isn't. >> mayor bloomberg of new york says this brooklyn operation, he wants an investigation. >> and here's what we think. if they investigate this incident, i think it would be good. again, when you tell the truth, tell the whole truth. show everything. show the tapes where people were thrown out. show the tapes where this didn't work and also show the tapes where at the end of the conversation people said we really can't assist you. >> the senate has now v
