Steve Bannon:
Blockbuster news for this audience: our own Kash Patel has just been named the Director of the FBI. I want to start with Mike Davis on this one. Mike, you’ve got Gaetz. President Trump, whether he’s got to use the Appointments Act of 1998 or, for the first time in history, force a recess appointment, has laid it down.
Matt Gaetz is going to be his Attorney General. He doesn’t want to hear any gruff about it. What about Kash Patel? I think of the Touchdown Twins—Gaetz at main justice at DOJ and Kash Patel at the FBI, sir.
Mike Davis:
Kash Patel is another grand slam pick by President Trump to lead the FBI, the most broken and corrupt institution in Washington, D.C. Kash has serious legal credentials, serious national security credentials, and he will go in there and make the necessary reforms to fix the FBI, which has been so badly politicized and weaponized against Trump and his top aides and allies since at least Crossfire Hurricane.
Crossfire Hurricane is the biggest scandal in American history, where the Obama-Biden administration weaponized the FBI and intelligence agencies to go after Trump because Hillary Clinton had her illegal home server, as Secretary of State, hacked with our nation’s most classified secrets and her foreign bribery schemes. That’s what this war against Trump is all about—an ongoing criminal conspiracy starting under Crossfire Hurricane. Kash is the perfect pick. He has the experience, the competence, and the loyalty to go clean house at the FBI.
