Neil W. McCabe Discusses James O’Keefe Going ‘Back to His Roots’ in Undercover Video of Top White House Cyber Official

Feb 2, 2024

National political reporter Neil W. McCabe joined Thursday’s edition of The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy to discuss James O’Keefe’s recent undercover investigation involving a top White House Cyber Official’s depiction of the Biden administration.

O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Media Group, wore a disguise while on a “date” with Charlie Kraiger, cybersecurity policy analyst and foreign affairs executive office of the President, where Kraiger revealed the extent of the alleged coverup of President Joe Biden’s health and the tension between Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff.

During Thursday’s interview with Leahy, McCabe called O’Keefe’s undercover scheme “classic O’Keefe journalism,” as he was able to expose “the private truth.”

“What he said was, you know, Kamala Harris is a train wreck. She’s hemorrhaging staff, specifically black staff, who quit on her. So there’s like a turnstile over there with the VP staff. They can’t get rid of her because of her DEI status. I guess that’s the way you have to say it now. She’s a DEI hire. But the other thing he said was that everyone knows that Biden has dementia, he has no cognizance, and you can’t do anything about it because it’s like he’s the president, and we’re just gonna ride it. And so, having this sort of confirmation from people on the inside, because you wonder, do they, do they see what we see? It turns out they are,” McCabe said.

“And one of the other things about James O’Keefe’s journalism is that he is always trying to expose the private truth. That betrays the public lie, and he deceives in order to expose the deceivers. And I think this is classic O’Keefe journalism,” McCabe added.

Regarding the information provided by the White House cyber official, McCabe noted, “It’s funny what a guy is willing to say when you know, he’s having some private time with someone he cares about.”

Roger Simon on Pro-Hamas, Anti-Israel Protests on College Campuses: ‘What Happened in Germany in 1937’ Is ‘What We’re Undergoing Now’

Roger Simon, the co-founder of PJMedia and current columnist for The Epoch Times, said the pro-Hamas protests unfolding on Ivy League college campuses across the nation are comparable to the scene in Germany in 1937.

Simon made the comments on Tuesday’s episode of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show after listening to audio of a clip taken from Columbia University where pro-Palestine protesters formed a human chain to keep Jewish students out of an encampment on the university’s campus.

NewsChannel 5’s Phil Williams Refuses to Explain His Failure to Get Justin Jones on the Record about Allegations He Covered Up Report of 2020 Sexual Assault, Tries to Distract with False Claims About Tennessee Star Reporter

Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, addressed personal attacks from NewsChannel 5’s chief investigative reporter Phil Williams over the weekend, saying such attacks are “absolute silliness” and a common tactic used by Williams when pressed on his “journalistic failings.”

On Sunday, Pappert reported on an interview between Williams and Dan Mandis, host of Nashville’s Morning News with Dan Mandis on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN, where Williams said that he once asked Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones (D-Nashville) to respond to claims made by his former close colleague Jeneisha Harris on June 18, 2020 that the state lawmaker had covered up the sexual assault of two protesters by a homeless man.
