Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane analyzes leaked Russian war casualty reports, suspected Iranian cyberattacks in France and President Donald Trump's plans for denuclearization talks with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.

Retired 4 star General Jack Keane discussed reports of leaked/hacked Russian records (from Rosstat) indicating roughly 400,000 Russian war deaths (with some related reports citing figures up to ~450,000) in Ukraine during his November 9, 2026 appearance on Fox Business’s Varney & Co. (also referenced in related Fox clips titled around “Putin’s Fatal Mistake”).

Public descriptions of the segment (and related clips) indicate he focused on why Russian casualties have been so high, attributing them primarily to:

• Poor tactics and a lack of military imagination (Russian forces repeatedly using the same failed approach paths against Ukrainian defenses).
• Untrained or inadequately trained soldiers and weak leadership.
• A broader pattern consistent with historical Russian/Soviet losses (he referenced precedents in which Russia lost over 20 million troops).

The segment’s on-screen chyron highlighted “RPT: LEAKED RUSSIAN RECORDS REVEAL 400K WAR DEATHS.” Keane was analyzing these claims in the context of the ongoing war’s attritional nature and Putin’s strategic decisions, rather than independently verifying the exact number. Full verbatim transcripts of his exact wording on the 400,000 figure are not widely available in text form from the sources reviewed; the available summaries center on the tactical and leadership failures driving the high toll.

These casualty claims originated from data allegedly obtained by hacker groups (including Belarusian Cyber Partisans and Ukrainian-linked Silent Crow) from Russian statistical records covering roughly February 2022 to mid/late 2026. Independent open-source tallies (such as Mediazona/BBC) have historically been lower but still substantial, and figures remain contested. Keane’s commentary treats the high reported deaths as consistent with observed Russian operational shortcomings on the battlefield.

Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, discusses House Democrats targeting the Trump administration's immigration agenda.

Rep. Pat Fallon's Fox News comments on House Democrats' immediate pushback against the Trump administration's immigration and deportation policies in November 2026.

Fallon, a Texas Republican on the House Oversight Committee, describes Democratic plans including investigations targeting Stephen Miller and efforts to defund ICE, contrasting them with reported 95% reductions in illegal border crossings under Trump.

The post highlights persistent partisan tensions over border security, with Fallon urging GOP lawmakers to maintain strong enforcement stances rather than softening on issues like amnesty.

When you think you cannot accomplish something, please think about George Washington. When you read about what he did, most people think he accomplished the impossible.

Despite having little experience in commanding large, conventional military forces, Washington’s strong leadership presence and fortitude held the American military together long enough to secure victory at Yorktown and independence for his new nation.

Unlike the successful Siege of Boston, the efforts to defend the city of New York ended in near disaster for the Continental Army and the cause of independence.
In what proved to be the largest battle of the Revolutionary War in terms of total combatants, Washington’s forces on August 22, 1776, were flanked out of their positions atop the Gowanus Heights (part of today’s modern Brooklyn) and soundly defeated by William Howe's roughly 20,000 man force on Long Island.

It was during these dark days at the close of 1776 that Thomas Paine’s words from the recently published American Crisis rang most true:

“These are the times that try men’s souls…the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

WHITE HOUSE SHAKE-UP: Stephen Miller to replace Susie Wiles as chief of staff.

Stephen Miller has been the primary architect of the Trump administrations’ immigration agenda, driving both first-term policies (2017–2021) and second-term enforcement (2025–present) through direct policy design, executive-order drafting, and operational pressure on agencies. First Term (2017–2021)Miller shaped the travel bans on several Muslim-majority and other countries, the zero-tolerance policy that led to the separation of more than 5,600 children from parents or caregivers at the border (formally ended after public and political backlash, though reunification remained incomplete for some families), sharp cuts to refugee admissions (down to a record-low 15,000 for FY2021), the public-charge rule limiting legal immigrants who might use benefits, and various asylum and visa restrictions. He was widely described by former officials and reporters as the key White House driver pushing these measures.Second Term (2025–2026)As Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser, Miller set ambitious targets (including 3,000 ICE arrests per day), expanded interior enforcement beyond priority criminals into communities, workplaces (e.g., day-labor sites), and immigration courts, and helped devise the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for rapid removals (including of some Venezuelans to El Salvador’s CECOT prison). He also advanced efforts to restrict or end birthright citizenship for certain children (partially blocked by courts), ended Temporary Protected Status for over a million people from multiple countries, and cut refugee admissions further (to 7,500 for FY2026 with prioritization shifts).He is reported to have drafted or edited many (or most) of Trump’s executive orders and exerted daily operational pressure via conference calls with agencies. Measurable Outcomes

• Border encounters: Southwest border Border Patrol apprehensions fell to roughly 99,000 in FY2026 (a ~95% drop from Biden-era peaks of 1.8–2.2 million annually), with the first full fiscal year of zero Border Patrol releases and 17 consecutive months of zero releases by late 2026. Nationwide encounters also hit historical lows. 
• Interior enforcement and removals: ICE arrests rose sharply (quadrupling or more in some analyses), including large increases in people without criminal convictions. Formal deportations and returns reached hundreds of thousands in the first 18 months (reports cite figures around 620,000–980,000 depending on definitions and inclusions of voluntary departures), higher than recent prior years but below the administration’s 1 million-per-year goal and historical peaks (e.g., ~1.86 million in 2000). 
• Other: Reduced refugee and legal immigration pathways; increased detention capacity utilization.

Broader Effects and Controversies

Supporters and administration officials credit the policies with historic border security gains, deterrence of illegal entries, and increased removals of unauthorized immigrants. Critics highlight family separations’ lasting harm, due-process concerns (especially with wartime statutes), aggressive street operations that produced high-profile incidents (including fatal shootings in Minneapolis that prompted tactical adjustments), expansion of enforcement to non-criminals, labor-market effects, and public backlash that contributed to 2026 midterm losses for Republicans. Many policies faced court injunctions. Miller has also influenced non-immigration areas, including tariffs, opposition to diversity initiatives, transgender-related policies, and aspects of foreign policy (e.g., Caribbean interdiction efforts).As incoming Chief of Staff (effective November 9, 2026), he is expected to intensify these priorities, relying more heavily on executive action amid a Democratic-controlled Congress. His impact has been transformative on U.S. immigration enforcement—shifting it toward greater restriction and interior mass removal—while generating sustained legal, humanitarian, and political debate.
