CONFRONTED: Henry Appel, National Security Council advisor, is confronted by James O'Keefe after being caught on hidden camera spilling the "Tea" about President Donald J. Trump saying "He [Biden] Can't Say a Sentence." "You’re Lucky I’m Not a Chinese spy," O’Keefe tells Appel, highlighting the sensitivity of his loose-lipped comments, including calling President Biden "Dead” and sharing his concern that the Trump administration will come after his colleagues in the National Security Council and how they are "Trauma-Bonded." When pressed about national security protocols and his tears over Trump’s victory, Appel chose to flee the scene in Washington, D.C., with O’Keefe remarking: "The Spy That Works for the Biden Administration… Running Away, Not Saying a Word."

This is: Barack Obama’s chief of staff, CIA John Brennan: Trump is a foreign agent. Trump is a national security threat. Russians went undercover into Mar-a-Lago and made copies of the documents that Trump had stolen and stored there. This is not just propaganda, slander, defamation, or fraud—it’s the overthrow of a duly elected president of the United States. Oh, and by the way, the bitch you see 👇down here was in on it.

“I will predict with total certainty that Trump hasn’t read this national security strategy. He signed an introduction to it. I doubt he read the introduction. He doesn’t care about it, anyway. He doesn’t have a philosophy. He, himself, doesn’t have a design for American national security, doesn’t even really do policy the way we underhand it in Washington. And that’s why the ramifications of Trump’s approach are so dangerous.” — Amb. John Bolton, former national security advisor for Trump, at the Renew Democracy Initiative 2025 Frontlines of Freedom Conference
