'Shocking' Undercover Video Shows NSC Adviser Describing State of Biden's Decline

The June debate between President Joe Biden and now President-elect Donald Trump proved to the world what critics had alleged about the commander in chief—namely that he no longer had the mental acuity to serve another term. This came on the heels of the administration insisting he was sharp as a tack following a report from The Wall Street Journal titled “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.” Once the debate took place, however, there was no hiding it. Many argued that if he was no longer fit to serve another term, he shouldn’t carry out the rest of his current one—a point that’s become relevant again with the release of a “shocking” new undercover video by O’Keefe Media Group.   

In the footage, a National Security Council adviser tells an undercover OMG journalist how bad Biden is, describing him as “like dead.” 

OMG CEO James O’Keefe highlights some of the noteworthy portions from the video:

"Joe Biden is, like, dead. Not literally. Like, he, like, can't say a sentence," admits Henry Appel, advisor at the National Security Council (NSC), about the current state of the President’s health. Appel, who works in the Intelligence Programs Directorate, noted his team's responsibility for providing senior policymakers with top secrets, stating, "We give all of the senior policymakers all of the secrets." He went on to describe Biden’s deteriorating communication skills as a concern, adding, "[Biden] can't say a sentence." Recalling a phone call in which the President struggled to understand the simple phrase, “novel phenomenon,” Appel shared "He [Biden] was just like, 'What do you mean, like a book?' when my boss [Jake Sullivan] used the word 'novel.'”

Appel didn't stop there; he also recounted an exchange from a call with @JoeBiden, revealing, “I picked up the phone and said, 'Hello, Mr. President'... and he asked for Jake [Sullivan]. After a brief exchange, Biden called me back 10 seconds later asking again, ‘Is Jake there?’” Appel told Biden, “No, he's traveling with you,” adding, “He's on the same trip that you are.”

Appel also described his perspective on the results of @realDonaldTrump’s 2024 election victory, stating that White House officials felt “trauma-bonded" after the election, adding, “We're also all kind of concerned about them [Trump Administration] coming after us.”
