Breaking news tonight as a major shakeup is potentially underway for Ukraine's military.
00:00:05.900
Sources are telling CNN that President Zelensky has now informed his country's top military
00:00:11.040
commander that he has been fired. The move, almost two years after Russia's invasion began,
00:00:16.920
comes after weeks of speculation about tensions between the two of them,
00:00:20.960
Zelensky and his army chief, Valery Zeluzny, I should say. It's just remarkable because
00:00:27.160
there had been these tensions between them, but this, if it happens, would be the biggest
00:00:31.480
shakeup that we have seen. How significant do you believe that this is?
00:00:36.300
Well, it could be significant. General Zelensky has done, by all accounts, a very good job under
00:00:44.440
difficult circumstances. He wasn't able to pull off this big counteroffensive that you reported on
00:00:49.440
for a long time. But in the beginning of this war, when the big war, when the Russians were coming
00:00:58.140
down on Kiev, General Zelensky and other generals, I mean, there are other generals that have done a
00:01:02.500
very good job with him, succeeded. It's been hard for the last year. So a lot will depend on who takes
00:01:10.420
its place, if it happens. I mean, as you said, it's not official yet.
00:01:13.540
Yeah, what we're hearing is that it could happen as soon as Friday. If it does go forward,
00:01:18.260
as sources are telling CNN tonight, that it is expected to happen, that he already informed him
00:01:22.440
of this on Monday. Is it because of the failed counteroffensive that we did report on in the
00:01:28.040
fall? Or is it because of the comments that General Zelensky made in that interview with
00:01:33.580
The Economist back in November that kind of sent shockwaves everywhere because he said it was a
00:01:38.440
stalemate? He said it was a stalemate. And the president said it was not a stalemate.
00:01:44.140
Frankly, both were right. You could do that either way. It was the lines hadn't changed,
00:01:50.640
therefore stalemate. But there was progress. Ukrainians were making progress on the waters,
00:01:55.400
in the Black Sea, in the air, shooting down some airplanes. So you could say the president could
00:02:02.520
say it's not a stalemate. We're actually making some progress. General Zelensky was looking at whether
00:02:06.880
or not the lines moved very much. And he said it was. He may not be a household name,
00:02:12.760
Zelensky in America. Obviously, President Zelensky is incredibly well known since the war almost
00:02:18.200
two years ago began. But he's incredibly popular in Kiev and in Ukraine. I mean,
00:02:24.560
what could the fallout be potentially from this?
00:02:26.660
The president needs to have a good feel for confidence in his senior military. If they make
00:02:36.860
some progress on the ground, if they make some progress on the battlefield with a new general
00:02:42.980
to take General Zelensky's place, and as I say, there are good candidates, then we'll look back
00:02:49.440
and say, well, actually, maybe that was the right thing. But you're exactly right. General Zelensky
00:02:54.260
is almost revered by soldiers, by civilians, by the private sector, by the government. He is a very
00:03:03.340
popular man, as, of course, is the president. But this is going to be a difficult one for them to get.
00:03:13.000
As long as Congress didn't approve financial aid for Ukraine yet, what makes you sure that we will have this aid
00:03:20.700
finally? Maybe you have some plan B or something.
00:03:24.340
Well, let me start by saying the American people understand and admire the miracle that Ukraine
00:03:35.160
has already achieved in defending itself against this vicious Russian aggression. And they also
00:03:42.760
understand what happens if you cannot continue not only to survive, but to thrive. And so I have
00:03:51.480
great confidence that that understanding will be reflected in the vote that the Congress makes
00:03:58.800
on this request of President Biden. A big warning on Capitol Hill yesterday from FBI Director Christopher
00:04:05.260
Wray about possible hacking attacks by the Chinese government. He said China could target our
00:04:10.560
infrastructure, causing potentially catastrophic damage. Nicole Skanga has more now from Washington.
00:04:16.280
China has shown it will make us pay. FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered this warning on
00:04:24.760
Capitol Hill. China's hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc
00:04:31.520
and cause real world harm to American citizens. Cautioning, Chinese hackers are aiming to infiltrate
00:04:38.860
the nation's pipelines, water treatment plants, transportation system, and even the U.S. power grid.
00:04:46.280
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:04:55.880
these people. You're just not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people
00:05:02.340
have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the
00:05:06.440
world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like
00:05:10.020
that go to share the big line? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a
00:05:18.260
conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:05:26.400
this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:05:32.720
For 2024, of course, so much going on on Capitol Hill and throughout the country and particularly in
00:05:45.900
Ukraine. As we've said for the last couple of days, Ben Harner was going to join me later in this hour
00:05:51.800
from Rome. There is actually, it looks like a soft coup underway. Zelensky is now informed of the
00:05:58.400
United States. He is going to relieve on Friday, this general, the senior commander of the Uniform
00:06:05.420
Military Services, who's revered in Ukraine, 88% approval rating, as CNN right there just told you.
00:06:12.420
Of course, you saw Ambassador Taylor. He's one of the ones with blood on his hands. He was a big part
00:06:17.040
of the Trump impeachment, if you remember. And he's been one of the people on there for the last two
00:06:21.380
years lying to the American people and more importantly, lying to the Ukrainian people
00:06:25.060
about what's really going on here. Here's how nervous the Biden regime is. They sent Victoria
00:06:30.760
Newland. Now, Victoria Newland's got blood on her hands from 2014. She's the color revolution expert.
00:06:36.380
She's over there and she got a really terrific greeting, didn't she? A card table in that square
00:06:42.260
outside the presidential residence in a bitter cold night with one microphone. That shows you how
00:06:47.300
excited Zelensky is to see people, particularly see people from this administration. He understands
00:06:53.840
all coming unglued. We'll talk later about President Diem in Vietnam and what happened when he was no
00:07:00.460
longer useful to the national security states. We'll tie that all together. Of course, Christopher Wray
00:07:05.060
talking about what the worms have talked about for four years. The Chinese Communist Party is
00:07:09.240
obviously infiltrating, have hackers all over, and is planning a cyber Pearl Harbor. Wray finally,
00:07:15.120
after four years of us pushing it and the Committee on the Present Danger pushing it,
00:07:19.200
admitted it yesterday. Evidence has been out there forever. We're honored to have Senator
00:07:23.360
Tuberville from Alabama. Senator, thank you. We've got so much to go through. I know you have limited
00:07:28.740
time. First, you saw the FBI director yesterday. It's a big reveal, the Chinese hackers. I know you're
00:07:34.680
trying to push legislation to get to the bottom of the bioweapon that they let off back in 2019-2020.
00:07:41.280
Can you give us an update on that and your thoughts about the FBI director finally admitting
00:07:44.880
the Chinese Communist Party is looking at a cyber Pearl Harbor against the United States
00:07:49.300
infrastructure? Well, first of all, Steve, thanks for having me on. But, you know, the big thing
00:07:54.260
about our FBI director, you don't know which way it's coming from. Are they trying to trick us again?
00:08:00.080
Are they trying to pull the wool over our eyes? Or is this something that we should be concerned
00:08:05.220
about? I don't believe anything that comes out of the FBI or the DOJ, to be honest with you. I've been
00:08:09.600
up here three years and they can't tell the truth. But we're trying as much as we possibly can to help
00:08:14.720
the American people. And of course, all this cyber that's going across, you know, our country in
00:08:20.120
terms of the Chinese stealing everything. We're trying to get stuff on the floor to help, you know,
00:08:24.840
our businesses, small businesses, corporations, everybody intact. But, you know, the problem is
00:08:29.920
we can't get anything on the floor. Schumer's bought and paid for. And it's just a disaster when
00:08:36.420
it comes to helping the American people. Now, giving something away to people that are not citizens now,
00:08:40.480
but they're all for that, but not helping the American people in the taxpayer.
00:08:46.360
I want to get back to that second, this massive welfare bill that was in the House just as they
00:08:50.660
passed with Democratic votes. I want to go back, though, because you're a revered figure in the
00:08:55.120
conservative movement. Did I hear you correctly? The Senator Tommy Tuberville, when the FBI director
00:08:59.680
comes up or the senior members of the FBI, you don't actually believe that a lot of their testimony
00:09:04.140
under oath? Oh, no, no. And of course, they change their testimony every time they come. They,
00:09:10.180
well, I meant to say this or whatever. I haven't been in any of those hearings. I've read a lot of
00:09:15.140
their testimony. But the only thing that I have believed that he said since I've been here in
00:09:19.540
three years, we're in for a huge awakening because of the border. The people that we've led across the
00:09:24.980
terrorists, there's going to be things that are going to happen in this country because Joe Biden's
00:09:28.760
open border policies. I do believe that because I've been to the border. But all these, I wouldn't
00:09:34.860
believe anything that they say. Senator, can you help explain this, this whole bill that you guys
00:09:42.140
haven't seen the text for, but supposed to be a border security bill, we look at it as an amnesty
00:09:46.360
bill. And of course, there's holding our border hostage for Ukraine. The Ukraine situation is coming
00:09:51.820
unraveled minute by minute. There's obviously a huge breach between the military and the political
00:09:56.680
leaders and the oligarchs in Ukraine. Can you just give us an update on from your perspective
00:10:01.280
in the Senate? Where's all this mess stand? Well, first of all, you're exactly right, Steve. It's
00:10:06.240
about extortion of the taxpayers of this country. You know, they want more and more money to fund
00:10:11.980
Ukraine. I've not voted for a dime. I've been over there, talked to Zelensky, talked to their generals.
00:10:18.100
It's like a junior high playing an NFL team in football. They don't have the people. You know,
00:10:23.660
we've pushed NATO on Russia. Joe Biden, his regime is trying to continue to push NATO east.
00:10:33.220
I'm not for Putin. I'm for Ukraine. But if you're pushing NATO on my borders, I'd be fighting back
00:10:39.680
too. So the process that we're going through right now is American people are being held hostage for
00:10:44.860
a border bill. Now, first of all, President Trump didn't, he already had the laws intact and he stopped
00:10:51.380
and controlled the border. This group wants more and more policies. They're in the laws that,
00:10:56.120
number one, they're not going to go by if we pass them. But they want to trick the American people
00:10:59.980
and us as Republicans to vote for this nonsense so they can get the Ukraine money. I wouldn't vote
00:11:05.660
for it for anything. James Lankford has worked at it for four months. But I think we've pretty much
00:11:11.580
been held hostage by the Republican leadership. The Republican leadership pushed this on us.
00:11:16.860
And now if we don't pass something, we're going to look bad in the eyes of the American people.
00:11:21.960
But I'm just telling people right now, we do not need a border policy. We already have one intact.
00:11:31.400
Senator, how did they push this one? If you at least look at some of the texts or some of the
00:11:36.000
implications that have come out, the centerpiece of all their new policies is the head secretary of
00:11:42.080
Homeland Security. He just got impeached. First time in 150 years, they voted impeach a cabinet
00:11:47.600
secretary out of the Homeland Security Committee yesterday. It'll probably come to the Senate
00:11:51.960
when it passes the House next week for a trial. How do you how do you how does McConnell and these
00:11:56.320
guys square that? Why even have a bill that has this when we're talking about he's being impeached
00:12:00.740
specifically for not enforcing the laws that are on the books?
00:12:04.260
Steve, three years we've watched the nonsense going on. 10 to 12 million people have come into our
00:12:09.260
country. They've overwhelmed our system, education, our health care. Now that we're taken away from
00:12:15.280
our vets, going to health care for illegals, the crime. And it just goes on and on and on.
00:12:21.600
We've got to take care of them. And we're spending billions of dollars a month doing this. And
00:12:25.920
President Trump only needed eight billion to put a wall up. But it's all about votes. It's all about
00:12:31.380
redistricting all across the country and getting more congressional seats for the blues and the
00:12:35.760
Democrats. We know what is going on. But our again, our leadership walked right into this. So
00:12:41.700
well, let's do a border bill. And then if we do that, we can pass Ukraine funding. They're not ever
00:12:47.480
going to give you anything that works for the American people on the left. So we walked into a
00:12:51.980
landmine. Again, I hope the American people see through this. We haven't seen the text yet, but it
00:12:58.740
doesn't. Whatever they do is not going to fix the problem. What's going to fix the problem is you go by
00:13:02.780
the Constitution and the laws of this country. Do what you're supposed to do. Protect the American
00:13:07.140
people. But Joe Biden is not going to do that. Twenty five governors in red states are going to help.
00:13:11.940
My state of Alabama is doing that. We've sent 500 National Guard troops and we'll continue to do that
00:13:17.360
to help the American people and help the border.
00:13:21.960
Senator, we've got about a minute. I know you've got to bounce. But just last thing, the great state of Alabama,
00:13:26.500
the patriots down there, you don't have a better state in the union. Where do they stand on both
00:13:29.980
Ukraine funding and this border bill? Well, of course, we've got a lot of the military complex
00:13:35.580
in our state. We build a lot of things. We do a lot of research and development. But they're still
00:13:39.620
for the people of this country, protecting the people of this country. We're dead broke. Thirty five
00:13:43.980
trillion almost in debt. That's our biggest fear of national security. But again, it goes back what
00:13:51.080
you're just saying. They're fighting amongst themselves now who gets the most money. They want
00:13:55.240
sixty billion dollars more. You can't you can't steal sixty billion dollars. They've already
00:13:59.600
done as much as they possibly can on the home with the other money we've sent. But we're getting
00:14:04.640
their people killed. Somebody needs to do some negotiations. And there's not one person in our
00:14:09.920
State Department or White House that has a clue about sitting down and working something out like
00:14:14.620
Donald Trump said. I could stop it in a day. He's exactly right. Joe Biden could do it in one day.
00:14:19.880
He doesn't know how to do it or doesn't want to do it. And so it just puts us all in harm's way
00:14:24.740
all over the world. Senator Tuberville, where do people go to find out more about you? You're
00:14:30.460
a revered figure in the war room, but we want to get your message out. Where do people go?
00:14:34.580
Yeah. Tuberville for Senate dot com. You know, you can come read all our stuff. Again, I'm
00:14:39.160
on armed services, getting ready to go down to armed services committee hearing. You know,
00:14:44.560
we're fighting for the American people. We're not just fighting for us. We're fighting for
00:14:48.260
the world. Steve, we're our country and the world is in bad trouble with these goofballs that
00:14:53.760
the policies that they have, that they have no clue of how to push them out there.
00:14:59.480
As we head toward a presidential election in November, one thing you can be sure of 2024
00:15:04.540
will be a tumultuous year like no other. How will your hard earned savings fare during this year?
00:15:11.900
You're already seeing the impacts of inflation at the pump, the grocery store. The dollar continues
00:15:17.200
to lose buying power quicker than your wages can increase. How are you protecting your savings?
00:15:24.220
Consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold Group. For decades, gold has been the choice of
00:15:29.800
investors and central banks to hedge against inflation. Now you can own it in a tax sheltered
00:15:36.920

00:16:24.320
Okay, I want to thank Senator Tuberville for coming on. We're going to have him back. He's got a Senate
00:16:28.380
Armed Services Committee. He's working on a ton of great stuff. I mean, what a patriot and what a hero.
00:16:32.900
And I got to tell you, Tuberville has no back down anymore. That's why we need more guys like this.
00:16:38.520
Yesterday, explosive day. We're going to get Josh Hawley, fantastic Ted Cruz on the social media and
00:16:43.380
TikTok. So much going on. I want to go to Israel. Sid Rosenberg. Sid's the morning host of, I think,
00:16:49.860
the most popular morning show in the nation. In the nation. And at WABC, I'm honored to be a
00:16:57.180
contributor every Monday with Sid. He's in Israel and joins us from Jerusalem. Now, you went there
00:17:02.660
for a week because you wanted to do your own due diligence. Can you give us an update? Because
00:17:06.920
it's quite a confusing situation. We hear the Biden regime is trying to cut arms shipments to Israel.
00:17:12.400
Can you give us an update, Sid, on what's the ground truth over there?
00:17:17.160
Well, it is confusing. You're right. First of all, by the way, I'm a big Tuberville guy.
00:17:20.780
I love coaches. They turn out to be great politicians. And he was a great football coach
00:17:25.760
at Auburn and a bunch of spots. I'm a huge Tommy Tuberville fan. But it is confusing because you've
00:17:31.280
got a president, Steve, who, unlike our friend Trump, who did all these great things for Israel,
00:17:37.680
from recognizing the Golan Heights to making Jerusalem the capital, which so many of the
00:17:42.600
presidents had promised, the Abraham Accords, no more Palestinian cash overnight. Now you got this guy,
00:17:49.220
Joe Biden, who shows up on October the 12th, the 13th, makes us wait 90 minutes to come up there
00:17:55.740
and do Fakak the speech, where he talks about some meeting he had with Golda Meir 50 years ago.
00:18:00.240
It's probably never happened. And he says, I love Israel. And then no one said to him,
00:18:04.660
yeah, but Joe, baby, Joe, baby, if you love Israel, how can you explain the fact that not in one,
00:18:10.820
but two administrations dating back to when you're the VP for Barack Obama, and now when you're the
00:18:15.780
president, that you've got guys like John Kerry in your cabinet looking to strike deals with Iran,
00:18:20.920
that you loosened all the restrictions and sanctions that Donald Trump put in place,
00:18:25.800
making sure Iran couldn't buy a loaf of bread. And because of all that, now Iran is rich,
00:18:30.800
oil money from China. You gave him $6 billion a couple of months ago. How can you possibly be pro-Israel
00:18:38.160
when you're in bed with Iran? And the answer, Steve, really is, is he's not. He's fooling some of the
00:18:44.060
people, even some Jews, but not here. They know the real deal. Joe Biden is no friend.
00:18:52.140
So, so what, walk me through this. How do we avoid getting sucked into a bigger regional conflict
00:18:58.100
with the Persians, given that we just spent 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan, $9 trillion,
00:19:03.480
as you know, eight, 8,000 combat casualties, 50,000 wounded, another, I think 20,000 contractors,
00:19:09.080
basically SEALs and special forces kind of off the books, also killed. How do we avoid getting
00:19:14.800
sucked into a broader conflict and still have our support for Israel to make sure they finish
00:19:20.100
what they started in Gaza? And I think eventually Judea, Samaria, and on the northern border with
00:19:26.520
Hezbollah up in Lebanon, sir. You're so smart, Steve. You know, I was actually at a barbecue for a bunch
00:19:32.700
of soldiers last night, 200. You go to my Instagram, you can see every one of them hugged me after I
00:19:38.280
spoke to them, and they're in Judea and Samaria. And you're the only guy that would even mention
00:19:43.920
that, Steve, because no one talks about that. The misconception is, yes, Hamas did some bad things
00:19:49.180
in the south. Maybe there'll be a war in the north. But you call it this whole country. There are battles
00:19:55.000
every day all over the place. The Jewish people are living amongst people that hate them, and they
00:20:00.140
got to fight them in the north, in the south, in the central, just about everywhere. And yes, they're
00:20:05.140
going to finish the job no matter what the Americans say. Look, the Americans have called
00:20:09.040
for ceasefires. They've called for pauses. All these moves in an effort, they say, to get
00:20:14.120
out the hostages, not really true. But in the end, the Israelis will do what they want. They
00:20:19.340
do listen to America, which is the first mistake with Biden as president, but they'll do what
00:20:23.760
they got to do. But in terms of avoiding a big-time war, I got to tell you, Steve, I don't
00:20:28.840
think we can. You know why? Because we don't intimidate anybody. If Donald Trump was president,
00:20:34.340
the Houthis would not be doing this. The Persians, the Yemenites, the Iraqis, all these countries
00:20:41.160
all around the world that were quiet, quiet for four years, they are not intimidated by this
00:20:46.840
government. They're not intimidated by Joe Biden. So the answer to your question is, as long as this
00:20:52.500
administration is in place and calling the shots, even when Joe Biden tries to get tough, which is
00:20:58.180
ridiculous, or Blinken, or Kirby, or Austin, or Millie, any one of these fools, the truth is,
00:21:05.000
they're not scaring anybody. So what I'm looking at is a couple of months of real pain for the United
00:21:10.800
States, for Israel, for all these regions, because until a guy like Trump is back in power, the world
00:21:17.880
will take advantage of the weakest administration in the history of our country.
00:21:22.820
Sid, you're one of the most well-known figures in New York City. And I dare say, on certain days,
00:21:32.180
if you walked into Times Square with the surreal supremacist mobs down there, you would have to
00:21:37.700
take security with you. What is the situation in New York City? And how can it be made safe for
00:21:44.640
You got the same problem, Steve, right? I just talked about it. You've got a Democrat president.
00:21:50.500
You've got, you know, Democrats in charge in Washington, D.C. that are destroying this country.
00:21:55.960
We've got the same problem here. We've got a Democrat governor, Kathy Hochul. And if you thought
00:22:00.920
Andrew Cuomo was bad, well, I got news for you. She's probably worse. We've got a Democrat mayor
00:22:05.880
in Eric Adams. And as bad as Bill de Blasio was, and you can make an argument, he was the worst
00:22:11.180
mayor in the history of our country. Eric Adams, he wants to do better. He certainly does. And he
00:22:17.000
works a little harder. But the truth is, the numbers are not there. You know, he has all the
00:22:23.700
right feelings about it. He wants to do well. But executing-wise, not very good. So the truth is,
00:22:29.760
no matter where you are, if you've got Democrats in charge, it ain't no good. I mean, we had an
00:22:33.920
instance here in New York just a couple days ago where eight migrants, eight migrants beat the
00:22:39.220
living daylights out of two cops, two cops in New York City. It's bad enough when civilians
00:22:44.680
do that in New York. And they do that way too often. Now you've got illegals, and up with the
00:22:49.580
migrants, and up with asylum seekers. Now you've got illegals all over New York City. Because Eric
00:22:55.220
Adams once said, hey, look, we're a sanctuary city. Of course, now, now he's critical of the federal
00:23:00.980
government. Now he's critical of the national government. Why are you doing this to us? But for
00:23:04.860
the better part of a year, Steve, he said, come on, we're a sanctuary city. They're good people.
00:23:10.500
They work hard. And now we're starting to see what? Crimes committed in Brooklyn, in New York City,
00:23:16.920
other places. It's not just Jewish people. Now it's cops a couple of days ago. They don't care.
00:23:23.040
And these people are frustrated. They've got no jobs, nowhere to go for money. And what are they doing?
00:23:28.000
They're committing the same crimes they did when they were in their own countries before they came here.
00:23:32.640
So we have a huge issue in the United States. We've got a wide open border. Yes, we're going
00:23:37.940
to impeach Mayorkas. That's great. But again, all Mayorkas is doing is what Joe Biden wants,
00:23:44.040
which is keep the border open. Everything goes back to Joe Biden, whether it's issues in cities
00:23:49.840
like New York, countries like Israel, all the issues basically around the world, Steve Bannon,
00:23:56.420
you could attribute to the weakest president in the history of this country.
00:23:59.920
Sid, how do people get to your show online? How do they get to your social media?
00:24:06.960
Well, social media can follow me on Instagram. Thank you, Steve, at Rosenberg.Sydney. That's
00:24:11.920
S-I-D-E-Y. I'm on Facebook. I don't X. I don't tweet. Those are the biggest low lives in the history
00:24:17.240
of this country. And my show, of course, airs live 6 to 10 a.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday.
00:24:23.300
You can download the free app at 77 WABC or tune in in your car radio, 770 a.m. And if you do it,
00:24:31.260
folks, 840 every Monday morning, the best guest of the week, you guessed it, Steve Bannon.
00:24:40.000
Thank you, brother. Thank you, Sid, for coming in from Jerusalem. Appreciate it.
00:24:42.920
I appreciate you helping me. I'm honored. Thank you so much, Steve.
00:24:48.080
Thank you, my man. Okay. Explosive tape coming from a White House official that only the type
00:24:52.840
of investigative reporting that James O'Keefe specializes. Let's play the tape. We're
00:25:02.920
Yeah, I'm fairly high up. I'm good at keeping secrets. And so I manage two federal agencies,
00:25:07.500
the State Department, and USAID. So when you say it's like security, like you're protecting...
00:25:14.280
The networks of the federal agencies that you give all your information to.
00:25:21.660
And we serve, we are like the president's voice when we go into meetings in terms of discussing
00:25:33.320
Yes. And she will be the vice president nominee.
00:25:38.020
There was a debate about removing her from the ticket, but sadly they didn't.
00:25:42.100
She can't keep Black's staff. They quit on her in mass.
00:25:59.160
And same thing with Kamala Harris. She's not popular, but you can't remove the first
00:26:03.600
black lady to be vice president from the goddamn presidential ticket.
00:26:07.940
Like, what kind of message are you going to send to, like, an African-American voter?
00:26:20.380
I mean, how do you get officials to actually open up and tell you exactly what's going on?
00:26:32.220
And it's sort of an investigative method of getting the story and doing whatever it takes
00:26:38.200
and having a conversation with someone and kind of winning friends and influencing people.
00:26:50.940
I think the headline is, none of these tapes, Steve, shock anybody.
00:26:54.540
Like, I don't think anything that I've ever done ever shocks your audience.
00:26:58.460
But what's shocking is that we've got a White House official, a cybersecurity official, on
00:27:03.660
video confirming what we already know, which is that they tried to fire Kamala, but they
00:27:11.080
can't do it because, according to this cybersecurity official, she's a black woman.
00:27:16.640
And I was talking to Jack Receivik yesterday, and he said it's almost like a security breach
00:27:29.040
And I think the headline, Steve, is when he says, we don't want the public to know this.
00:27:33.760
I can't say this publicly, that Joe Biden has dementia and is slowing down.
00:27:38.100
It's that deception towards the voters they don't want to say.
00:27:47.340
Can you stick around for a few minutes, or we've got to let you go?
00:27:51.800
James O'Keefe's going to take a short commercial break.
00:27:54.400

00:30:33.600
James, has this executive at the White House, this official, has he been terminated already?
00:30:38.740
Well, it's only been, we released the tape at 4 Eastern yesterday, and it's 10.30 Eastern.
00:30:47.260
What we do know is he took down his LinkedIn, he deleted his X page, he deleted his Instagram page, he's just deleting everything.
00:30:54.040
But, Steve, I went through all those and I downloaded everything he's ever posted prior to him deleting it.
00:30:58.500
But, we have, look, he's saying to you, in an unguarded moment, what they talk about in the White House, this is a massive national security problem.
00:31:14.340
Do you anticipate you're going to be called by the House or the Senate to testify and turn over all your tapes and deal with investigators there?
00:31:20.460
Because you have an official in the White House that's telling someone that it's an open secret that Biden has dementia, sir.
00:31:29.160
Do I anticipate that I'll be called to testify?
00:31:31.300
I've been doing this for, you know, 20 years, 14 years since I met you, and I've never, ever in my life been called to testify.
00:31:37.720
It would be a paradox to have me on Capitol Hill, because that would provide credibility to me.
00:31:49.080
But I do think it is an amazing admission, and a lot of people are pointing out on it.
00:32:01.080
And I think one of the things is, what if there's a Chinese spy in there talking to these guys?
00:32:09.460
I mean, if it's this easy for James O'Keefe wearing glasses and dyed hair to get these people to open up inside the White House on one or two meetings, then how – what's going to happen if someone in foreign government goes and tries to get information and blackmail?
00:32:25.300
My job as a reporter, I'm just trying to inform the public.
00:32:28.340
But what about foreign people coming and doing that?
00:32:30.560
That's what a lot of people are pointing out, Steve.
00:32:37.800
And to sit there, whether it's Pfizer or here – but here, it's a different level.
00:32:42.220
A lot of people, James, have been on TV shows and podcasts, as you know, and up on right-wing media and conservative media, talking about Biden's slow.
00:32:51.400
It's quite different when you have someone that's a cyber expert on the inside, an official, say it's an open secret Biden has dementia.
00:32:59.120
That's a national security – Biden is one of the two people in the National Command Authority.
00:33:03.860
He's the only person who can actually technically order the launch of a nuclear missile.
00:33:08.060
Knowing he has dementia means there's been a massive cover-up.
00:33:11.200
That's why this is – this is why this is the most important tape in my mind that you've ever done, sir.
00:33:17.160
I think this is my favorite one I've ever done in my entire career because it's an official in the White House.
00:33:24.260
And a lot of people out there listening, well, I already knew that.
00:33:27.180
And I think that that's the sort of bias that – first of all, most people in this country aren't paying attention.
00:33:33.460
So when you have an admission out of someone's mouth, it matters.
00:33:37.940
Even if you suspect it, even if you think it, even if you already know it, the fact that the guy is saying it is so credibly.
00:33:45.720
So perhaps this will lead to something – maybe this is a different moment.
00:33:53.420
But what I really want to know is, Steve, is this guy still working there?
00:34:01.540
If so, why is he being terminated for telling the truth when he says – in the video, the most important part, in my opinion, was when he said,
00:34:07.820
this is what I've heard from my colleagues, he's a witness to what other people are saying.
00:34:19.240
James, you normally roll these out, the Andrew Breitbart methodology, put it out, make them respond, then drop something else.
00:34:26.980
Are there additional things that come on this, or where is this investigation going?
00:34:30.140
Well, today I'm releasing – I take off my glasses and I say, what the hell are you doing sitting across the table from James O'Keefe?
00:34:38.580
The full part of that will be released this afternoon, and again, what type of cybersecurity operation are they running in the White House when he's sitting across from James O'Keefe and spilling his guts?
00:34:53.100
And that will be released today, and we'll see if he's been terminated.
00:34:59.380
You have to remember, this guy is at the National Security Council.
00:35:02.280
His security clearance has got to be some of the highest in the country.
00:35:05.460
James, where do people go for O'Keefe Media Group, your social media, all of it?
00:35:10.360
You can go to O'KeefeMediaGroup.com, and please support us.
00:35:16.160
We're putting out one investigation every Wednesday now, Steve.
00:35:19.460
We have to produce a movie every week, basically.
00:35:32.780
Let's go to the – we had Sid Rosenberg from WABC in New York, Rush Limbaugh's old station.
00:35:38.540
Sid's got the biggest morning show in the country.
00:35:42.440
The second biggest morning show in the country.
00:35:47.060
John, is there a firestorm out there right now at the RNC?
00:35:53.980
Well, you know, people ask me why Ann and I went here and created our own media row up here in a suite at the Paris Hotel on the Strip for the RNC Winter Meeting.
00:36:06.340
And we had one response, raise hell and tell the truth.
00:36:09.860
And that's basically what the purpose that we're serving.
00:36:12.880
You know, what's incredible here at the Paris Hotel, Ronna Romney, all kinds of heat last year for holding her winter meeting election at the Waldorf Astoria, $800 a night, a room nobody could go.
00:36:26.280
Now she holds it in Vegas at the Paris Hotel, $100 a night, much more affordable.
00:36:33.040
In a winter meeting in a presidential year, she closes it to the press.
00:36:41.840
So she basically doesn't want to be asked a question.
00:36:46.320
So we said, you know what we said, Ann and I, the hell with that.
00:36:54.880
I've changed my time this week from noon Eastern to 3 p.m. Eastern.
00:37:03.420
Yesterday, they had a members-only meeting right off the bat.
00:37:08.060
Fireworks, firestorm, shouting matches going on.
00:37:14.100
And the two issues that it was over yesterday was very simple.
00:37:18.060
The Georgia committee man, Jason Thompson, and the Georgia chair of the GOP that was there,
00:37:27.220
Josh McCoon, basically said, hey, these electors in all of these states are going bankrupt with lawsuits.
00:37:37.640
We need to protect them because they stepped up for the president to be the alternative electors in case one of these suits won and they could vote for the president.
00:37:47.360
Well, the never-Trumpers in the states that don't believe that the election was stolen started screaming and said, you're on your own.
00:37:54.620
You guys decided to go down this election-stolen path.
00:38:03.200
Basically, they were taking Rana's position that you guys are on your own.
00:38:09.880
What message does that send to anybody that's asked to step up to help out when the RNC is telling them,
00:38:17.560
if you get in trouble for nothing you've done, the hell with you.
00:38:25.480
The other thing that went on yesterday is questions about the budget.
00:38:39.480
They're hoping for the president to bail them out.
00:38:41.440
The bottom line is grassroots is not giving any money to Ronald Romney.
00:38:48.340
They were also saying about these texts they send out, some of them were misleading,
00:38:53.480
that they're constantly sending to members, asking for money.
00:39:03.640
This is a budget resolution that was put forth by Nevada committee woman, Segal Chata.
00:39:16.640
She wants to know, everybody wants to know what you're spending money on, what the expenses
00:39:21.200
are, what the revenue is, and what your financial status is by month to the 168.
00:39:27.540
She also said salaries for RNC staff should be capped at $120,000 annually because the idea
00:39:36.100
of going to work for the RNC to make $300,000 to get rich is not the purpose of it.
00:39:41.920
It's for staffers that believe that their country's hanging by a thread and you ought to be able
00:39:54.340
Romney has done everything in her power to get rid of it.
00:40:00.280
The level of frustration that we have heard from members that are part of the 168 that
00:40:07.020
have come on our show saying that this thing is a complete train wreck that Ronna has.
00:40:23.720
In fact, Real America's Voice did a special, and they had, if Denver can pull it from yesterday,
00:40:29.860
it wasn't us, but they did this great chart comparing RNC and DNC.
00:40:35.240
And it's unbelievable, the difference in spending.
00:40:40.780
The reporter that did such a fantastic job at Red State, John, last year going through the
00:40:45.540
numbers, you know, they got the budget leaked to them going through the numbers, has then
00:40:49.000
updated it this year because another, you know, upset committee member gave it to them.
00:40:58.520
And they've looked, and Ronna hasn't changed anything about her spending.
00:41:01.940
It's still the flowers and the limos and the planes and all that, right, where the DNC is
00:41:07.640
really kind of going hand to mouth, but they're putting their money into voter files, get out
00:41:15.780
It's not just that Seagal, because she was on the show today, he's trying to put this up.
00:41:20.120
Are they getting her face that with all the firestorm you had in Laguna Beach that led to
00:41:25.780
her being reelected, she promised and committed the spending would change.
00:41:35.620
In fact, a committee man from Georgia, Jason Thompson, who was on our show yesterday,
00:41:40.260
said, hey, I stood up and said, if you go down the same path, you keep ending up in the
00:41:44.880
Nothing is, remember, when she, when she was campaigning against her, me, Dylan, her number
00:41:50.200
one thing, other than the fact that we got it, we got to say it like it is, President Trump
00:41:54.660
put her in there, President Trump kept her in there, only President Trump can get her out
00:42:17.500
Now, they don't want to be asked a question about it.
00:42:23.220
Look, she basically, since she's been there, doubled her salary and her results have been
00:42:36.420
Then they ask her about, well, what are we doing on voter integrity?
00:42:45.420
Well, what are you doing with mail-out ballots?
00:42:57.600
Hey, what about ballot harvesting in the states that are legal?
00:43:13.540
But what they did do is they got a phony primary going against President Trump and had a bunch
00:43:22.340
They were all big shots with CNN and ABC and Fox News and got to hang out and spend all
00:43:30.380
Another $150 is going to be raised because they kept Nikki Haley in the game, the big donors.
00:43:34.420
And now you're going to have a half a billion dollars before it's over spent all against
00:43:40.080
Not one penny going to infrastructure, logistics, get out the vote.
00:43:44.500
Nothing spent on voter integrity, on stopping mail-in ballots, on lawsuits.
00:43:48.980
Five, a half a billion dollars that she's directly responsible for doing, not in the conference
00:44:01.160
The Paris Hotel on the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:44:06.720
I wonder if Frederick's out there anything for the Super Bowl.
00:44:08.840
We're going to ask him his over and under best sports book in America.
00:44:20.740
Using your tax refund to pay off credit card debt is a smart thing.
00:44:26.800
DoneWithDebt.com published a brilliant strategy designed to let you keep the money
00:44:31.160
your hard-earned tax refund and reduce or eliminate credit card debt.
00:44:36.260
Most Americans owe thousands in credit card debt.
00:44:38.900
In fact, Daily Mail's got a story that 56 million Americans carry credit card debt.

One of the reasons we've put the RNC up against the wall is because you cut them off from money.
00:45:48.660
All they did was allow $350 million to be spent against President Trump.
00:46:00.840
And now they're trying to, you know, Ron is trying to save her job of saying, oh, we've got to putt this proclamation.
00:46:07.760
He needed you to act like the DNC did with Biden.
00:46:13.220
This was all a vanity play for people who are never going to be president.
00:46:23.140
I hate to break the news so you're not going to be president.
00:46:30.360
And now you've got Neocon Nikki running around with big donors.
00:46:34.280
You know, Ken Griffin says she has no path, but he wrote her a $5 million check.
00:46:47.400
See if Trump, one of these kangaroo courts, does something to him.
00:46:55.440
Are they hawking the headquarters and taking a 10-minute credit line?
00:47:04.020
So is that, are they barring against the building now as a line of credit?
00:47:10.240
Well, they have a big line of credit out, which is not unusual in a presidential year.
00:47:15.220
But it is when you've only got $7 million cash on hand going into a presidential flip-year contest.
00:47:23.460
The problem is, here's the problem with keeping her there.
00:47:26.960
In order for the Trump campaign to raise the money it needs, which is going to be over a billion dollars, they have to merge the fundraising with the RNC because that gives you the ability to get unlimited funding, where if you give to the Trump campaign, what, it's $2,500 each, $5,200 a couple or something.
00:47:52.040
As long as she's a chairman, she's not getting a dime from us.
00:47:58.300
They can send all the texts they want, all the emails they want.
00:48:06.880
This is what the Trump campaign has to internalize.
00:48:10.400
We're not giving her a dime because her leadership is abysmal.
00:48:15.420
She's incompetent, and she's run the thing into the ground and wasted our money.
00:48:21.800
As long as she's there, the grassroots is not going to fund the RNC.
00:48:26.720
And the Trump campaign has got to figure this out.
00:48:31.020
You know, this idea that, oh, well, you know, maybe she'll resign at the end of the convention.
00:48:43.980
Why would you close your winter meeting to the press?
00:48:50.840
Instead, they shut them off because she's afraid to be asked a question.
00:48:55.780
I've had members come up here on this show yesterday.
00:48:58.760
I'm on noon to 3 Eastern now, obviously because we're in pack time, and say the level of frustration
00:49:05.600
on the 168 has boiled over with the level of incompetence.
00:49:11.580
And they were telling me there's just members there that think their only job is to protect
00:49:18.420
It's about the grassroots growing the party and getting something done.
00:49:24.200
But look, at the end of the day, I'm going to say it again because we tell the truth here.
00:49:35.940
She's only there because President Trump kept her there.
00:49:38.720
Remember, when we tried to oust her last year at the $800 a day walled off Astoria, which
00:49:50.620
President Trump sent his two key operatives there behind the scenes to help her win.
00:49:59.800
Last time we knocked on the door, the next time we're going to kick it in.
00:50:10.660
What should we be looking for today and tomorrow?
00:50:13.460
What should we be looking for to see if there's going to be a movement on forcing her to resign?
00:50:17.660
You know, it's going to be the only way she resigns is if President Trump publicly or privately
00:50:31.800
Otherwise, you've got to get a two thirds vote, which is not going to happen.
00:50:40.060
He's got to make a decision if he decides to stay.
00:50:49.060
The president, the two operatives, Susie Wiles and Lasavita, are close to her.
00:50:58.980
Look, President Trump's trying to save the frickin world.
00:51:01.040
He didn't have time to worry about RNC and the thing.
00:51:14.120
They protected somebody that they're in business with.
00:51:23.140
80,000 fees got 50 lawsuits around putting in jail for 700 years.
00:51:26.640
The judge missed his deadline yesterday because he's trying to figure out how to take all
00:51:31.100
of Trump's cash and bankrupt him by taking his business license.
00:51:35.160
He's got the weight of the world on his shoulders.
00:51:36.880
Plus, he's running a campaign with not a lot of help.
00:51:41.700
These political operatives, these Republican political operatives never change colors.
00:51:47.340
And I'm telling you, the Warren Posse, we will never allow a penny to go to that operation
00:51:54.040
after what they've done to Trump in this primary, the $350 million, the opportunity cost of that
00:51:59.260
If we had that money instead of these vanity project debates that Ronna and Bossy and all
00:52:04.600
those guys want to be big shots hanging out with Fox and hanging out with ABC, they're
00:52:13.480

00:53:25.640
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:53:35.600
First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:53:40.140
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:53:47.620
Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence
00:53:52.920
and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this
00:53:58.640
governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:54:01.680
In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will
00:54:05.500
soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:54:09.080
If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or
00:54:14.780
even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:54:20.100
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:54:25.620
Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to
