The city where shots have been fired at the end of the celebration for the Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. | |
| It is a fluid situation, but here's what we know so far. | ||
| Officials say 10 people were shot and rushed to local area hospitals. | ||
| The shooting took place at a garage near the city's main train station. | ||
| Two people who are armed have been detained for further investigation. | ||
| Officials are asking people to exit the area as soon as possible. | ||
| Let's go down to NBC News correspondent, Jesse Kirsch, who is in Kansas City, Missouri, with the latest. | ||
| Jesse, what more can you tell us? | ||
| Hey, Elise, I just want to flag a picture you're seeing right now. | ||
| This is a live image from just outside of Union Station on the outskirts of the stage area for the Kansas City Chiefs Parade. | ||
| And you can see authorities appear to be putting someone in the back of a vehicle. | ||
| Someone who was escorted over to this vehicle and placed into it Based on what our photographer has been able to see and that is the live picture you are seeing right now So we're gonna stay with that picture on our camera so we can get as much footage of it as possible But I am going to continue talking about everything else that's unfolding Out here and you know if you want to show other images by all means, but we're gonna keep the camera the camera over there so we can get as much footage of that as possible. | ||
| So here's what unfolded. | ||
| We were at the aftermath, the immediate aftermath of the celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs. | ||
| For context, this is a town that loves its football team. | ||
| This was the back-to-back Super Bowl championship parade and rally. | ||
| Officials expected around a million people could be out here. | ||
| We have really nice weather. | ||
| It's around 60 degrees out here. | ||
| That is something that can always boost the turnout at an event like this. | ||
| And with so many people in the downtown, that would be like having roughly double the population of Kansas City in this downtown area at the same time. | ||
| And in this immediate vicinity of Union Station, Where the rally was, there were thousands of people out here. | ||
| The rally had just wrapped up. | ||
| This was about an hour ago, a little bit more than an hour ago. | ||
| And then we noticed something did not seem right. | ||
| We saw people that were running away from the train. | ||
| station and that is something that you don't expect in the aftermath of a large event right who goes to a sporting event and then runs out of the event you know it's gonna take a while to get out so you move at a triple pace people were running away from the area at the same time we saw what appeared to be police officers rushing into the area some of them even looking like they were jumping over the barricades up along the rally stage and we also at the same time had had authorities on rooftops in the area including at least | ||
| one long gun position and we noticed those teams appeared to be taking the situation not that they weren't taking it seriously to begin with but if you if it makes sense they were paying this is the primal scream of a dying regime Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Okay, breaking news out of Kansas City. | ||
| We're going to go to a press conference here momentarily. | ||
| Wednesday, 14 February at the Year of Our Lord 2024. | ||
| It's Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. | ||
| I want to go to this press conference. | ||
| We're going to start at the top and I will jump in. | ||
| Tons of news today on Capitol Hill, but we want to get to the bottom of exactly what happened during this celebratory victory parade today for the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City, Missouri, the winners of the Super Bowl. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play. | ||
| Let's take it from the top. | ||
|

|
I'm joined today by Police Chief Stacey Graves, our Fire Chief Ross Grendison. | |
| After I'm done speaking, Police Chief Graves will give details on the incident that happened earlier today. | ||
| A few things that I want to make sure we note at the outset. | ||
| First, today, we had 600 Kansas City, Missouri Police Department officers, 250 from outside agencies. | ||
| We went out today, like everyone in Kansas City, looking to have a celebration. | ||
| That celebration was marred by a shooting today. | ||
| And we recognize that there are some who are injured. | ||
| We are praying for the safety of everyone. | ||
| I've talked to a few different folks so far. | ||
| One, we have spoken to the Kansas City Chiefs, who made clear that their prayers are with everyone who was at the parade today, everyone in Kansas City, and everyone who was touched by this incident. | ||
| They also noted that their players, coaches, and staff are all accounted for at this point and safe. | ||
| We, however, know that this is a fluid situation, so all that we are sharing now may change as the hours go ahead. | ||
| We've also received a call from the White House that offered all federal assistance in the investigation. | ||
| We had federal agencies present today. | ||
| We appreciate that, and certainly in the days ahead and the hours ahead, we will make sure we continue to do this work. | ||
| I will say personally, first, a thank you to the women and men of law enforcement, to the women and men who work with the Kansas City Fire Department and our other agencies. | ||
| When the shooting started, I, like many others, ran and ran for safety. | ||
| I saw a number of agencies, including the Kansas City Police Department, officers with guns drawn who are running towards danger. | ||
| We thank them for that. | ||
| As I was leaving the scene, I saw members of our Kansas City Fire Department administering aid to folks who are seriously injured without concern for the shootings and the challenges that were near them. | ||
| This is absolutely a tragedy, the likes of which we would have never expected in Kansas City, and the likes of which we will remember for some time. | ||
| However, I want to say thank you to those who are making sure that we are safe today, those who are investigating this incident, and those who will continue to make sure that those who committed these acts today are brought to justice. | ||
| We'll come back for some questions at the end of the Chief's comments, but now the Police Chief, Stacey Graves. | ||
| Chief Stacey Graves, Kansas City, Missouri Police Department. | ||
| At the conclusion of the chief's rally today, there were shots fired on the west side of Union Station. | ||
| Immediately, officers responded to the area, took two people into custody, and also immediately rendered life-sustaining aid to those victims. | ||
| We're still gathering information on the number and the status of victims, but like I said, we know that one of the victims is deceased. | ||
| We also know that officers ran towards danger. | ||
| Officers were there to keep everyone safe. | ||
| I'm angry at what happened today. | ||
| The people who came to this celebration Should expect a safe environment. | ||
| We had over 800 law enforcement officers, Kansas City and other agencies at the location to keep everyone safe. | ||
| Because of bad actors, which were very few, this tragedy occurred. | ||
| Even in the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers, who again ran towards them and took them into custody. | ||
| To the people who were injured in this tragedy, our hearts go out to you and your families. | ||
| This investigation is just beginning and we are working safely to clear all surrounding areas and businesses. | ||
| This is still an active investigation. | ||
| We will continue to keep you updated. | ||
| We will keep you updated on Twitter and most likely a follow-up press availability. | ||
| Did you have anything? | ||
| Let me see how much yours is. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. Why? | ||
| One of our victims has been declared deceased. | ||
| We have, we have. | ||
| Fire, fire, fire. | ||
| Right now we have up to 10 to 15 injured by. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Right now we do not have an exact number of people people who were victims of a gunshot wound. | ||
| It could be upwards from 10 to 15, with one deceased. | ||
| Do you know how many are in critical condition at this point? | ||
| I do not have conditions on our victims just yet. | ||
| Any believed to be children? | ||
| I do not believe that any of them were children. | ||
| Any law enforcement injured in this? | ||
| Nothing of note. | ||
| We are still under investigation. | ||
| I myself was outside when I heard the shots fired. | ||
| It is an ongoing investigation. | ||
| It's going to take us a little bit to determine exactly what led up to the shooting. | ||
| I will say though we do have two suspects in custody. | ||
| There are rumors circulating over social media that some fans may have helped detain one of those guys. | ||
| I have heard that as well. | ||
| I have heard that that fans got involved in the apprehension or the pursuit of one of the suspects. | ||
| I cannot confirm that right now, but that is something that I have heard myself. | ||
| Yes. Absolutely. And. | ||
| As soon as the rally concluded, there were shots fired on the west side of Union Station. | ||
| Officers were on scene in the area. | ||
| I know one of the suspects was immediately pursued on foot. | ||
| Like I said, there's two suspects in custody. | ||
| I have heard the information that was just requested. | ||
| I will confirm or deny that. | ||
| But after that, immediately officers began rendering life-sustaining aid, calling in fire, which is the fire department, to also assist those victims. | ||
| Do you know if there were more than two people taken into custody? | ||
| Because we had two people after you. | ||
| You're right there. | ||
| It's that last question. | ||
| Anyway, they asked the police chief. | ||
| It's only two people and local TV guys are talking about. | ||
| So there's a lot of from the Twitterverse coming up. | ||
| Thank you, Denver. | ||
| I don't need to share the audio with her. | ||
| We're eventually going to get this down so we can actually do it. | ||
| This is live coverage, so thanks. | ||
| We're not going to chase rapids here, obviously. | ||
| It's the War Room. | ||
| But there's something very big that happened in Kansas City today. | ||
| When you have a million people show up in Kansas City, Missouri, twice the number of people that live in the metropolitan area, it's a big deal. | ||
| It was obviously very celebratory and one of probably the great franchises in modern professional football. | ||
| Uh, and of course it ends in a gunfire. | ||
| There's a lot of stuff on the internet and there's, um, do we have it yet? | ||
| Uh, there looks like a... | ||
| Middle-aged or maybe slightly older Caucasian male Looks like he's handcuffed by police and he's being walked a number of TV cameras on him And we're trying to pull TV coverage or TV camera coverage from other sources now. | ||
| There's also Looks like two or three young african-american males. | ||
| We're not saying that either the white Middle-aged guy or these african-american males did this but right now that looks like that's footage from the scene that were there At least handcuffed by police. | ||
| The police are being very tight on what happened. | ||
| Two people are under arrest. | ||
| And as soon as we get more information, we do know the Kansas City Police has already stated they don't believe this is related to terrorism. | ||
| But just criminal activity. | ||
| So when we get more information, we will share with you. | ||
| There's some of the local stills coming up on the internet right now that we're screening, of course, being inundated with information. | ||
| And as soon as we get more information, we will get back to you. | ||
| This is a developing story and it's going to be a big story when we find out who the perpetrators are. | ||
| So that's why everybody's trying to get the information. | ||
| It's a little odd that no information has been put out. | ||
| At all by the Kansas City authorities, which is traditionally I have a rule of thumb about this, but That is inside baseball as we say, okay tragedy in Kansas City Developing story. | ||
| We're gonna be all over this in the next two hours Let's reset here for a moment and go to Capitol because it's been a crazy day on Capitol Hill. | ||
| It's certainly not as tragic As what went down in Kansas City at the at the Chiefs championship parade, the Super Bowl parade. | ||
| But a lot went down today in the middle of the day. | ||
| I've never seen this. | ||
| I'm trying to get we're trying to get cash. | ||
| We are going to have Colonel Derek Harvey. | ||
| Colonel Harvey was the senior senior staffer. | ||
| Under Devin Nunes on the House Intelligence Committee. | ||
| I think Nunes was the last Republican to be the chairman. | ||
| He now works with President Trump and for President Trump over at True Social. | ||
| I think he's the CEO over there. | ||
| Devin's a very safe and steady pair of hands. | ||
| Today, Mike Turner, Congressman Mike Turner, and by the way, Brian Costello is also going to join us. | ||
| Colonel Harvey is going to join us because a lot went on at Capitol Hill. | ||
| And like I said, we have stuff coming out of Kansas City and we'll get you updates as something solid or meaningful comes in. | ||
| But as you know, here in the world, we're not going to chase rabbits. | ||
| I've never seen this. | ||
| Turner put out a tweet today. | ||
| In fact, can we put the tweet up if we do have it? | ||
| Long story short, he put this tweet out that said there was classified information of an immediate threat that had to be... I mean, this guy's the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. | ||
| It's one of the most important jobs on Capitol Hill. | ||
| He puts this tweet out. | ||
| That, you know, it's a serious threat, and the President needs to declassify this, and the American people need to hear this right away. | ||
| Well, it shouldn't be lost on you. | ||
| The Ukraine bills just got dropped off of the House, and, and the FISA, the secret, the secret House session, or the closed House session, first time since 18, 18, you know, 1813, 1815, sometime around when they burned the Capitol, was supposed to be on Thursday, supposed to be tomorrow. | ||
| And Turner drops this, and I mean, it set off fire alarms all over the place, from the stock market to capitals. | ||
| Like, what in the hell is going on here? | ||
| Demanding President Biden releases information to the American public immediately as like a national security, and then it was immediately leaked. | ||
| Oh, it was something to do with Russia. | ||
| Surprise! | ||
| Something to do with Russia. | ||
| I think it was posted or somebody went back on Turner's Twitter feed. | ||
| Guess where Turner was over the weekend? | ||
| When the War Empathy was sitting there listening to Mike Lee's four-hour speech about why we shouldn't do Ukraine. | ||
| And why Eric Schmidt and Ted Cruz and even Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, a lot of the neocons, a lot of the super hawks are saying we can't do, we can't do this Ukraine bill until we secure the southern border. | ||
| I mean, the number of kind of hardcore neocons said it can't be done. | ||
| This is not going to, it's not going to be tolerated where I come from. | ||
| They're not going to tolerate it. | ||
| And it can't, it can't happen. | ||
| Well, his Twitter feed's got him. | ||
| Guess where he is? | ||
| Wait for it. | ||
| Wait for it. | ||
| Do we have that tweet up yet? | ||
| When that gets processed, let's put it up. | ||
| He's in Ukraine with Zelensky. | ||
| I know that's going to shock you. | ||
| I know you find that shocking. | ||
| Look, Turner, and we've had a huge problem with Turner from the beginning. | ||
| This guy is the one suppressing real investigations. | ||
| He is a, I don't want to say a country bumpkin. | ||
| He was the mayor of Dayton after all, but he's the perfect, he's the perfect clown. | ||
| that comes to the imperial capital. | ||
| And immediately they're telling him, they're rubbing up on him. | ||
| And this guy's the one that's made the rounds on Meet the Press, and he's on the Sunday morning CNN shows, he's with Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer, and they're saying the head of the House Intelligence, and he's all puffed up, and they're with knitted brow, listening for deep thoughts. | ||
| You know, when he was mayor of Dayton, the world's not sitting there waiting for his pronouncements. | ||
| But now he's head of the House Intelligence, so, you know, and they're telling him, you're so brilliant, you're so bright. | ||
| This is a guy that's gone out of his way to suppress the investigations of Sequoia Capital and the rest of this Chinese Communist Party direct, not even influence-peddling, direct control of members of Congress. | ||
| With funding the Democratic Party through Moritz and the rest of the guys over at Sequoia. | ||
| So bad that it was Brian Costello and ours, relentless assaults on these guys that got them to break up Sequoia Capital into Sequoia Capital China and Sequoia Capital USA. | ||
| Turner's the one of the guys that refuses and refuses and refuses To have investigations. | ||
| Yet he's going to see Zelensky, and he's a statesman, and a big thinker, and a huge strategic thinker. | ||
| These are the kind of clowns when they blow in off the prairie. | ||
| The intelligence guys get them right away, and they brief them. | ||
| They say, this is, you know, SITK. | ||
| This is super top secret. | ||
| You can't possibly, this is, you know, the rest of your countrymen can't see this. | ||
| This is extraordinary. | ||
| And that's when he starts thinking great thoughts, and that's when he looks in the mirror and he says, you know what he sees is not the bumpkin that rolled in out of Dayton. | ||
| What he sees is a world leader, a man of importance, a man of substance. | ||
| And he has to leave his mark in history. | ||
| His mark in history is going to be Churchillian. | ||
| All these guys, look at them all the weekend. | ||
| They're Churchillian. | ||
| Jerry Moran of Kansas. | ||
| Look at all the guys in South Dakota and North Dakota that voted for this. | ||
| The folks out there in their states, good, hardworking, common sense, traditional American values, they can see through this. | ||
| This is not why they sent people from South Dakota and North Dakota and Dayton, Ohio. | ||
| It's not why they sent people to the House. | ||
| It's not why they sent people to the Senate. | ||
| They wanted to make sure that their values, And quite frankly, their grit and determination and self-reliance and cussedness and, you know, common sense and kind of show me, you know, Eric Smith did Missouri proud and so did Josh Hawley this weekend. | ||
| They were magnificent and kind of going through and it's just kind of common sense. | ||
| Like I'm not buying this. | ||
| This was the most desperate and I think you're seeing now the desperate measures I think Mark Wayne Mullen's running around. | ||
| He's not working on the discharge petition, but then maybe he's working on the discharge petition. | ||
| They're trying to do everything that's outside the normal order. | ||
| Remember, MAGA is chaos. | ||
| MAGA is anarchy. | ||
| Donald Trump is an agent of chaos, and his followers are domestic terrorists. | ||
| Well, I respectfully submit That you are the stability in this country, that you are the center of gravity of the decency and common sense in this country, and that the globalist of which these guys get sucked into and patted on the head and said, man, you're really smart. | ||
| How did you get that smart in Dayton? | ||
| You're like a global leader smart. | ||
| You're a man of importance. | ||
| You're going to leave your mark. | ||
| You think about this, Harvey, never in the history of our country, ever, ever, since House Intel. | ||
| Remember, House Intel came out of all the debacle of Watergate and the House Intelligence investigation on the assassinations and the Kennedy assassination. | ||
| It came out of the Church Commission, essentially. | ||
| Up until then, there was no Senate Intel and no House Intel. | ||
| And they finally realized that these intelligence agencies are so out of control. | ||
| Just completely freelancing it. | ||
| Oh yeah, they're fighting the communists. | ||
| We don't know what they were fighting. | ||
| You had moles all over the place. | ||
| You had a State Department riddled with communists back in the 40s. | ||
| You didn't know running around the world starting revolutions and coups and overthrowing things. | ||
| Just walk down to Foggy Bottom. | ||
| And look at all the communists infecting the State Department, and the Roosevelt administration, and leading over to the Truman administration. | ||
| Remember, Truman was so close. | ||
| Truman's another guy that blew off off the prairie from Missouri. | ||
| He's a guy that was so, they thought so highly of him, they didn't even tell him about the atomic bomb. | ||
| But you see in Oppenheimer, he had pretty good common sense. | ||
| Kind of that Missouri, I'm not a huge Truman fan, but he had pretty common sense when they started telling him about it. | ||
| That movie, in fact, if you watch Oppenheimer, it's a movie about the deep state. | ||
| A movie of the beginning of the deep state. | ||
| I didn't actually come up with that. | ||
| One of my young charges after watching it says, you know, this is a deep state film. | ||
| Well, that's what the deep state controls Turner. | ||
| They sent him over to Zelensky and gets the top secret briefings and these Russians and they're going to be putting, I don't know, nuclear weapons on the space station or they're going to be doing this or doing that. | ||
| Mike Davis had a great tweet with dude, if that's what you're talking about, cause that's the rumor, they're going to have it on the space station and drop a nuke on Dayton. | ||
| He said, just give the $60 billion over to the space force. | ||
| Well, first we don't have the $60 billion Mike, but I like directionally where you're going with that. | ||
| We can't, we got to shut it down with nothing, but I like your direction. | ||
| This is what, This is how over the top and insane these people are. | ||
| This shows you the fetish and obsession with Ukraine. | ||
| And I keep telling you, and I'm never wrong, when we kind of go in these kind of directions, there's something in Ukraine that is not for the family hour. | ||
| I'm just saying, there's been so much dark there. | ||
| It's like in the movie, JFK, when they talk about was a project in a kind of the assassinating Castro. | ||
| He says, don't go there. | ||
| No, let's not talk about that. | ||
| That gets some critters. | ||
| You've overturned that rock. | ||
| Some roaches are going to run out of there. | ||
| Let's not go back and talk about that. | ||
| Well, that's what House Intel and Senate Intel was set up to kind of oversee. | ||
| The problem is you have agency capture. | ||
| They capture these Rubes. | ||
| That's what Turner is. | ||
| He's a Rube. | ||
| And today he went, he went Rube to the 10th power. | ||
| How humiliating. | ||
| The President of the United States has to release immediately. | ||
| Oh, let me see. | ||
| This wouldn't happen to be about Ukraine or, or, or Pfizer or something about Russia. | ||
| Another phony Russia situation that's going to scare everybody. | ||
| But here's the good news. | ||
| Here's the good news. | ||
| Here's the good news. | ||
| There's not going to be any secret meeting tomorrow. | ||
| They're not going to be behind closed doors because they're getting sent home. | ||
| Johnson's new default position. | ||
| Hey, I'm not totally against this. | ||
| Keep them working. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| When you're sitting there trying to run every play on you and Hakeem Jeffries, you got guys in the Senate, the Republicans, you got House members that are sitting there saying, no, let's have a discharge. | ||
| Let's do things that are just never done. | ||
| Not regular order. | ||
| To try to jam this bill through and everything else and get the FISA extended for everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And I'm one of the 26 that's named that they spied on, right? | ||
| They spied on yesterday. | ||
| That'll be an interesting class action suit. | ||
| Matt Taibbi breaking a story. | ||
| Actually, the pieces have been out for years, but verifies that they use foreign intelligence agencies to spy on 26 of President Trump's closest associates. | ||
| So that'll be a quite interesting one as we take that to court, suing certain individuals, right? | ||
| For hopefully everything that they're worth and maybe more. | ||
| No, but we've been down this road before. | ||
| There's nothing they won't do to get people. | ||
| This is how desperate they are. | ||
| For the first time, Harvey's gonna come on here instead of Derek Harvey and Costello. | ||
| Costello's gonna tell you what a clown Turner is. | ||
| But Harvey's gonna tell you, hey, in the House Intelligence Committee, for a guy, Mike Johnson had to come out, think about this, the Speaker of the House had to come out like in all caps moments later and say, no, there's not a national security issue, calm down, it's like that thing at the end of Animal House, you know, please calm down. | ||
| The Speaker of the House. | ||
| What that leads me to believe is that Brother Turner, Put that tweet out by himself. | ||
| He didn't think he needed to run it by anybody. | ||
| Because you know what? | ||
| Wolf Blitzer says you're a man of substance. | ||
| Morning Mika saw you at a cocktail party and said, you know, you really are something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| You're really something. | ||
| Did you go to Georgetown? | ||
| Did you go to Harvard? | ||
| Did you go to CSIS? | ||
| You have one of these advanced degrees. | ||
| You have a PhD. | ||
| You kind of remind me of my father. | ||
| You kind of remind me of Kissinger. | ||
| He's all puffed up and the knitted brows. | ||
| He's thinking, you know, I'm a me looks at that mirror. | ||
| I'm a man of substance. | ||
| It's not me Mike Turner saying that it's Wolf Blitzer saying that it's morning Mika saying that it's important Zelensky. | ||
| Zelensky treats me like a statesman and tells me takes me into his confidence of how I'm going to save Zelensky and you're going to save Ukraine and be in the history books that we were writing about Turner of Dayton. | ||
| This is what you're governed by. | ||
| A group of fools and buffoons. | ||
| And this is how we're in this situation with a southern border completely invaded. | ||
| Now you've got hundreds of thousands of fighting-age males from the Chinese commies, from the PLA, up here with others, with every nation on earth. | ||
| Ten million, minimum, under Biden's watch. | ||
| And he's sitting there flying to Kiev. | ||
| Why didn't he just fly down to El Paso, Texas? | ||
| Would the folks in Dayton that are dying of fentanyl, would the folks in Dayton, the African-Americans and Hispanic citizens that are having their wages crushed by the migrants that are all around Ohio driving wages down, would maybe they want him down in Lukeville, Arizona or El Paso, Texas or Rio Grande City in the Rio Grande Valley or maybe McAllen, Texas? | ||
| Pick it! | ||
| You got a 2,000 mile border and they're coming across everywhere. | ||
| Maybe even go to an Indy reservation down in New Mexico. | ||
| See if the chiefs will have you down there and let you see what's coming up. | ||
| The fentanyl and everything is coming up through New Mexico. | ||
| Why don't you do that, bro? | ||
| And then why don't you put out a text? | ||
| We will never ever consider this bill until the southern border is closed. | ||
| Why don't we hear that? | ||
| No, you're not going to hear that. | ||
| Because they're completely captured by the intelligence agencies and they're completely captured. | ||
| By the defense industrial complex. | ||
| Who is going to take care of Gallagher and all these guys? | ||
| Gallagher is going to get kissed into a big job? | ||
| Come on, bro. | ||

|
This is the way the system works. | |
| You cadets just don't, haven't figured it out yet. | ||
| And go on Fox and cut on TV for stupid people and just get talking points all day long. | ||
| How this is so important, so urgent, must be done. | ||
| This is, you know, Churchill said this and, and if we don't do this, they're going to be in Paris next. | ||
| Yeah, they're going to be rolling through the North German plane. | ||
| They're going to be coming through the folder gap. | ||
| They got those, they got that tank, the tank column, they can't even make it to Kiev. | ||
| Those brothers are going to be coming and that's a problem. | ||
| Of course, the Germans are so important. | ||
| Remember, Europe is so, this is Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. | ||
| They're being invaded by Syria and by North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa and their elites are doing nothing about it. | ||
| The country is all being invaded right now. | ||
| And the biggest threat that the German government has, I don't see them saying anything about the Russians. | ||
| They're coming to us and begging us to put more money in. | ||
| All they're taking is Alternative for Deutschland. | ||
| These guys are too right-wing, you know why? | ||
| Because they say we're being invaded and they've got to be shut down. | ||
| So all you do, you see the Guardian and the Financial Times every day, what are the Germans doing? | ||
| Are they getting the 2% for their own defense and maybe even a little more if they're so scared about the Russians? | ||
| No, they're going to put one-third of their people in their country that are in a party that says, hey, we're being invaded, maybe we ought to stop that. | ||
| Alternative for Deutschland, they're going to put them in prison. | ||
| They're going to shut off their financing. | ||
| They can't even make a telephone call unless German authorities watch it. | ||
| They're the most significant threat to Germany. | ||
| Not me saying that, that's them telling the Guardian, the Financial Times of London, the Times of London. | ||
| This is embarrassing. | ||
| This is a clown car. | ||
| The Democrats are worse. | ||
| But what you're represented by is the stupid hour. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Colonel Derek Harvey. | ||
| Brian Costello on the other side. | ||

|
Oh, oh, it's true. | |
| Monday, Monday morning. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
| Okay, we're going to have some more footage on the Kansas City situation as soon as we can process it and render it and get it in there. | ||
| there. | ||
| Okay, so you have a big victory today. | ||
| They went home. | ||
| Johnson's not going to consider anything on this bill. | ||
| Of course, they're working. | ||
| They're going to work in big time. | ||
| I believe there's a report and I think it has been backed up. | ||
| But I haven't double-checked this, that Johnson put a call in, I think, to the President to go sit down with him. | ||
| Big mistake. | ||
| I guess if you're trying to show, okay, we're trying to work it out, we're trying to be bipartisan, we're trying to be good guys, that's fine. | ||
| If it's for the optics of that, God bless you. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| It's a complete waste of time, though. | ||
| And we should get down to serious business. | ||
| Here's the serious business. | ||
| Okay, so they all went home. | ||
| They're going home. | ||
| 2.30 tomorrow. | ||
| Senate's already gone for two weeks. | ||
| They got to get over to Munich and get their pay envelopes stuffed with cash. | ||
| They did their jobs. | ||
| So they're all over there puffed up. | ||
| Of course, Lindsey Graham's not going. | ||
| Lindsey Graham's not going. | ||
| He says he's not going to Munich. | ||
| He took 10 minutes on the Senate floor. | ||
| I'm not going to Munich. | ||
| I'm not going to Munich. | ||
| I've got to go to the southern border. | ||
| I know that's totally unrelated to the South Carolina primary and President Trump. | ||
| Oh, by the way, Financial Times on the hard copy, and I think we're going to have this in Denver in a moment. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| On the Financial Times lead story this morning. | ||
| The nations of Europe are right now Paying, getting ready to pay 2%. | ||
| There it is right there. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Shazam! | ||
| Shazam! | ||
| Miraculously, how did that happen? | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| You know how that happened? | ||
| That's called leadership. | ||
| That's Donald J. Trump right there. | ||
| He's forcing them and browbeating them to actually be an alliance, not a protector, and say, look, you guys gotta get serious about this. | ||
| If you think there's all these threats, another thing you gotta get serious about, why are we in an alliance that's going to be overrun by invaders from the Middle East and North Africa and, you know, Sub-Saharan Africa? | ||
| If we want to be in business with those countries, we can make our own decision. | ||
| We'll go be in business with those countries. | ||
| Why do we want to be in an alliance? | ||
| If we want an alliance, we'll go and cut deals and be allies with countries in North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa or in the Middle East. | ||
| Actually, technically, we're not even an ally to Israel. | ||
| It's not a true alliance. | ||
| They are an ally partner and have been since their formation. | ||
| You saw how well it worked throughout the Gulf Emirates. | ||
| They're cutting deals with the Chinese Communist Party right now, as Brian Costello knows. | ||
| The $7 trillion being raised for artificial intelligence. | ||
| Where's Sam Altman? | ||
| Where was Tucker Carlson when he called him out? | ||
| Dubai. | ||
| Where's all that money coming from? | ||
| Right now it's coming from the Gulf Emirates. | ||
| They're going to be the lead investors. | ||
| Who's cutting deals at long-term output deals with the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
| Well, let me just some random countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, the Persians, Iraq. | ||
| Remember Iraq right now, all interests are controlled. | ||
| They're fighting and being controlled by other entities, not American entities. | ||
| That's seven trillion dollars flushed for nothing, for zero. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| We did have the election. | ||
| We remember the Blue Fingers. | ||
| We had the Blue Fingers. | ||
| Bush was selling them. | ||
| Remember the Blue Fingers? | ||
| I think it was in Afghanistan too. | ||
| Remember they had the elections? | ||
| Democracy, fighting for democracy, freedom and democracy. | ||
| That's what you're fighting for. | ||
| Not turning out too well, but we got them sent home. | ||
| So they're not considering this and take it as a victory. | ||
| Remember, we got to move the chains. | ||
| We're not always throwing the ball downfield. | ||
| Just let's move the chains. | ||
| Okay, we'd hey, it's not, you know, don't break out the Malaysian Don, but On Valentine's Day, keep the cork in, but at least we got them to go home and they can't do any more damage when they're out of town. | ||
| So just, scat. | ||
| Get out of here now. | ||
| But the Pfizer, the big Pfizer, dramatic. | ||
| You know, it's gotta be dramatic. | ||
| We're gonna close, we're gonna secret session! | ||
| Gone. | ||
| And Turner is being, I think, dragged on social media because he's a buffoon. | ||
| Brian Costello, Turner, his specific responsibilities as head of House Intel, and I can't tell you, this is a very important, that and Senate Intel are quite important. | ||
| That's why you got to have guys like Devin Nunez, or before him actually Pompeo, ran it. | ||
| Turner's gone out of his way to kowtow to Big Tech, to the big donors, to big money, and he's the first guy out there with the Russians, the Russians, the Russians, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. | ||
| Brian Costello, your assessment, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know, Steve. | ||
| This buffoon decided to wreck everyone's Valentine's Day here. | ||
| I got a call from a bunch of Wall Street guys thinking it was China-related when he first said it, and everybody was really, really surprised this was Turner running his own Russia hoax. | ||
| I mean, this guy's a fraud, right? | ||
| So let's not forget that he's appointed by Leader McCarthy to be the Gang of Eight, right? | ||
| The Gang of Eight's extremely important. | ||
| I mean, you have the Gang of Eight sitting there being briefed and, you know, we've got one member of the Gang of Eight, McConnell, talking about going through a tragedy in his family. | ||
| And this guy decides to, you know, pull the fire alarm. | ||
| I think it was DC Drano dug up the pictures of him in Kiev four days ago. | ||
| My experience, my direct experience with this was when I was dealing with the House Intel team and they were looking into what the real issue was, which was how China was buying Washington through the billionaire elite crowd, which is a very substantial issue that nobody's looking into now. | ||
| And Nunes left and there was a whole Russiagate team doing that. | ||
| Turner got the job from McCarthy and he perp walked out all the people doing the Russia hoax investigation. | ||
| So this guy's no supporter of Trump. | ||
| He's no supporter of MAGA. | ||
| And, you know, as we're seeing stuff come out with Schellenberg and TV today, more facts pulling everything together and getting into a wider audience. | ||
| You know, there's still a substantial issue there. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Twenty six people being spied on. | ||
| So Turner could be dealing today with, you know, we've got a suspicious death Related to somebody in the Gang of Eight, we've got it coming out that the IC was weaponized to try and change the outcome of an election. | ||
| We've got all sorts of stuff going on. | ||
| He decides to pull the fire alarm for Ukraine, Russia, and Russia. | ||
| It's like almost not even believable. | ||
| But hang on. | ||
| I want you to go back to where your Wall Street guys are calling you because Costello's known not just simply for being here on The War Room, but all of his great Twitter feed is a guy that knows about the CCP and knows the infiltration scheme. | ||
| But like I got, I mean, I got tons of phone calls from guys going, what the hell's going on here? | ||
| I mean, this is never, look, it's only been around since I think 78 or 79, something like that. | ||
| But no House intelligence members ever put out either on a TV show or through Twitter that we have a national security issue and the president's got to unleash all this. | ||
| The American people have to know about an imminent threat. | ||
| An immediate threat. | ||
| And people going, oh my God, what's happening? | ||
| Are they getting ready to drop a hypersonic weapon on New York City with a nuclear tip on it? | ||
| I mean, people don't know. | ||
| People call me and go, what's going on? | ||
| How important is this? | ||
| How big a deal a guy would have to do that? | ||
| Then you find out later when Johnson comes in, I don't know, 20 minutes later, puts this thing out, like calm down, all caps. | ||
| You realize this clown just, he's just, he's just soloing. | ||
| It's free ranger, right? | ||
| I mean, what kind of person does that, sir? | ||
| He's got no national security people next to him. | ||
| He brought his whole staff over, who's got no national security experience. | ||
| He took some of the best people that Devin Nunes had assembled, who really understood the system, walked them all out the door. | ||
| Uh, you know, so yeah, this guy is, is, you know, he shifted the focus to trying to shift the focus to, you know, Russia walking through Europe and, you know, with a European fetish he has. | ||
| I mean, part, part of me thinks it's as simple as he wanted to be on the plane to Munich to collect the cash and didn't, was desperate and trying to figure out how to do it. | ||
| You know, it's, it's just. | ||
| It's baffling that this guy is in any... Steve, the entire... I don't even know who's on your show today. | ||
| Almost everyone you have on your show would be more qualified for that position than he is. | ||
| Oh, there's no doubt. | ||
| I mean, he's the mayor of Dayton. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. | ||
| Dayton's a great town. | ||
| Love Dayton. | ||
| Love Ohio. | ||
| Love that part of Ohio. | ||
| Great people. | ||
| But a guy with no experience? | ||
| McCarthy tapped him because he is astute. | ||
| He's the guy that tapped because he's not, you know, he's not the sharpest pencil in the stack. | ||
| He's got a role to play. | ||
| The role is to kind of be a doofus. | ||
| And he plays that role well because he is a doofus. | ||
| And today proved it. | ||
| He should resign immediately. | ||
| Johnson's fine, but you've got to replace your chairman. | ||
| How can you let a chairman of a committee essentially cause a national security meltdown in the country of capital markets and everything else? | ||
| And the guy, he's just grifting for Ukraine. | ||
| It's clearly he's rubbing up on his buddy Zelensky. | ||
| Or to tee up the secret FISA meeting that's going to take place. | ||
| Johnson was right. | ||
| Shut it all down. | ||
| Hang around until 2.30. | ||
| Let's get the hell out of here. | ||
| These people are out of control now, and I'm Johnson's one of his biggest critics, but now you're seeing the nest of vipers that McCarthy left. | ||
| And Johnson ought to go through and start taking some, he ought to be firing some people. | ||
| Mark Green just quit today. | ||
| I think Mark Green, a pretty good guy, West Point grad, pretty good guy over DHS, I think he just announced he's retiring, not going to run again. | ||
| And that was, I think, a big deal for him, because I knew him before he was in Congress, and it was a big deal for him to run and then become chairman of DHS, so this is not a small deal. | ||
| Let's go to, when you say the Gang of Eight, that is the House and the Senate people, they get even more classified information in the General House, and if the President wants to do a clandestine action, it's called a presidential finding, you have to go to the Gang of Eight, because it was so out of control in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, this was the mechanism that was set up to kind of bring So here's what we know. | ||
| This is just a select group of people directly related, the majority leader, minority leader on the House and Senate intel. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, but you have a member of Gang Aid, that would be brother Mitch McConnell, that has a family member. | ||
| And this story gets curiouser and curiouser, sir. | ||
| What do we know about his sister-in-law? | ||
| So here's what we know. | ||
| So tragically, and again, I know we covered this this morning, but you know, when there's a passing you can never offer enough condolences I think. | ||
| Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law, Elaine Chao, or Angela Chao, Elaine Chao's sister, suddenly passed away. | ||
| We believe it's now being reported on their ranch in Texas and The Tesla she was driving was found in a pond. | ||
| Her husband is Jim Breyer. | ||
| Jim Breyer is a famous investor, invested in Facebook, was one of the early investors in Facebook, and then went off and started funneling a lot of money into China through a company called ADG. | ||
| He's on the board of another big China investor, which is, I believe he's on the board of Blackstone. | ||
| So he's got a lot of China exposure, and here everybody's kind of shocked, right? | ||
| It's like there's a mysterious passing away of a prominent woman who was on the board of directors of the Bank of China, was involved in the You know, McConnell and Kyle's shipping company have done a lot in the shipping community. | ||
| The shipping community is disrupted. | ||
| And there's just mystery. | ||
| There's no information. | ||
| There's all these articles on Elaine Chao and her relationships and everything else. | ||
| And all at the end, it says there was a car accident. | ||
| You know, and it was reported by Kyle Bass on Twitter this morning. | ||
| And it started leaking out last night that this was more drowning than a car accident and that it was a car on their ranch outside of Austin, Texas. | ||
| So there's a lot more to become on this. | ||
| We're hearing rumors that they're, you know, this would certainly be substantiated. | ||
| You know, Briar and Carr are very wealthy, so it's very realistic to believe that there is video footage or video cameras on the ranch. | ||
| And we're hearing that's in the possession of the county people down there. | ||
| So we expect more to come out of this. | ||
| So here's Turner, right, sitting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But, you know, here's Turner sitting. | |
| Here's Turner sitting. | ||
| You know, we get some real concerns. | ||
| We've got a lot of Chinese people coming over the border. | ||
| We have a prominent Chinese national married to a U.S. | ||
| billionaire who suddenly passes, you know, and everybody's a little bit on the edge of their seat. | ||
| What is this, right? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| And, you know, all of a sudden, actually, at first, everybody reached out to me. | ||
| They thought it was China. | ||
| The old China hands are watching us. | ||
| Brian, real quickly, what's your Twitter account? | ||
| Where do people follow you for all breaking news? | ||
| On Twitter, BPCostello. | ||
| Brian, fantastic. | ||
| Stay on top of this. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Yeah, thank you. | ||
| So we've had a fiasco today, and I'm not even getting to the good stuff. | ||
| The good stuff is Gates and McCarthy. | ||
| That's the good stuff. | ||
| All next in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Look, I could be dead wrong in this and I don't want to get ahead of the story. | ||
| We're waiting. | ||
| At six o'clock I hear it's going to be Kansas City. | ||
| We're going to go back to a press conference and we'll see what's going on from the authorities side. | ||
| I know there's all kinds of rumors popping up on the internet, but let's wait until we have at least the official word that we can drill down on it and see if it's all straightforward or it's a little, you know, spin. | ||
| As you can tell, it's in turbulence, times of turbulence, and in Capitol Hill, remember, you're the stability. | ||
| You are, because of your phone calls, your emails to the local office, etc., that's where they're frozen on Ukraine. | ||
| Frozen. | ||
| When they're going to the museum, they're frozen. | ||
| And that's why Johnson feels somebody's got his back. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Because remember, he's got people around him, these McCarthyites around him that want to, you know, fund the Ukraine and screw the southern border. | ||
| It's all coming in March. | ||
| March 1st. | ||
| This is a couple of weeks away. | ||
| That's why I really want everybody that's in the local area, or if you're coming in, go to CPAC. | ||
| Go to cpac.org slash WURM. | ||
| And if Mo and Grace can put that up there, Carly Bonet over at Midnight Rider, our own team on the Telegram, cpac.org. | ||
| We're going to now, we're putting this together, and I think we're finalizing it, but we're even going to start early on Wednesday afternoon. | ||
| We're going to have a Force Multiplier Academy. | ||
| We're going to serve you lunch. | ||
| We're going to have many of the people that have either been authors of books or people that have been on the show or, of course, our incredible staff, you know, Grace Chung will be there, Mo Bannon, Natalie Winters, Jane Zirkle. | ||
| Hopefully with Shanghai, Birquam, other people. | ||
| We've got a lot to press. | ||
| We're going to be releasing, we're going to be releasing, making huge announcements about books and films, other things we're doing here in the world. | ||
| I'm trying to expand content for you because we know you want more and more content. | ||
| We're also going to talk about the ubiquitous nature. | ||

| Also, times of turbulence. | ||
| I think it's turbulent when the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee puts out a tweet that really gets everybody shocked, like the Russians about to launch on us. | ||
| Wants the president to unleash classified information. | ||
| I mean, just a weirdo. | ||
| Only a weirdo would do that. | ||
| Only a guy thought he was so self-important. | ||
| Just a weirdo. | ||
| And people, quite frankly, in Dayton, Ohio, you ought to be, you ought to tell him what you think of it. | ||
| That that's not the way you want to be represented. | ||
| You're good, hardworking people. | ||
| And I realize they call him the Congressman from Wright-Patterson. | ||
| And the missile maker that's out there, there's a missile manufacturer right out there, Wright-Patterson, got tremendous patriotism. | ||
| You're not being represented appropriately. | ||
| You're being represented by Bozo the Clown. | ||
| But that's, it is what it is. | ||
| That's why Birch Gold, you're going to have to look at hedges for your financial future because they're just burning money in Washington DC and they're not going to stop until we stop them. | ||
| That's why March 1st is such a big date. | ||
| Hey, and we got a few tire tracks on us. | ||
| Right? | ||
