Kash Patel FLAILS As Humiliating Trump Video Goes Off The Rails

First and foremost, I want to remind your audience of President Trump's leadership, literally, courage under fire. You saw the best resolve of American law enforcement because you, Mr. President, inspire them 24 7 365. Me and mine are like you and President Trump, we're as [00:00:15] tough as they come. I'm reminded that Americans exist to protect this country day in and day out and they've done it like we've done it here. But what we didn't have was you. So while we're out there fighting for the dreams of our children, just know Mr. President, how many millions of dreams. like mine are going to be lived thanks to your brilliant leadership. I will disagree [00:00:35] with most of what Cash Patel had to say there as he sucked up to Donald Trump in embarrassing, unmanly fashion. I do agree that there are millions of Americans who have a dream that concerns Donald Trump in one of these days. But no, Trump is not courageous, courageous. He [00:00:56] doesn't sacrifice. He doesn't inspire and more importantly, Cash Patel doesn't actually believe that. But Cash Patel does believe that his job is very much on the line and he knows that it is a good strategy to suck up to Donald Trump. Do a tiny little bit of rhetorical gargling [00:01:13] and you might keep your job for another week or two. But the compliments to Donald Trump, that's just like step one. Step two is you got to give what he really wants, which is hype and memes on social media. So he decided to post This video, which we're gonna have to swap out the music for, for a reason we will explain in a moment. But here's the hype video [00:01:32] he put up to try to keep Donald Trump interested in his leadership. The news right now from the FBI. The FBI is undergoing a major overhaul under new director Cash Patel. The FBI delivered the safest America under President Trump's leadership in the history of our country. This administration [00:01:49] has changed the narrative. They've actually prioritized safety in our cities. We put a thousand agents into the field last year. We're gonna send a thousand more employees to the field permanently this year. Every state's getting a fuss up. The FBI just capped off a historic 40-25. 67,000 criminal arrests by this FBI. That is a 200 % increase. The decline [00:02:11] in violent crime echoes a trend we're seeing nationwide. Return the FBI to its core mission of fighting crime and getting out of politics. Okay, so amidst the videos in slow mo black and white of Cash Patel wearing the jackets he cares so much about, you might have recognized [00:02:29] some of those voices. Because this is like a perfect human centipede of propaganda. So Cash Patel puts together a hype video to get Donald Trump excited using the voices of Fox hosts and contributors who are only saying the things that they said at the time to get [00:02:47] Donald Trump excited. It's just like, perfect propaganda, except generally propaganda is produced by the regime outward facing to get people excited about what's going on. Now it's it's totally inward, it's for an audience of one. And as I said, we did have to change [00:03:04] the music though, there's a reason for that. It's because the music was by Guns N' Roses, you could be mine. Now the leader of Guns N' Roses is not a fan of Donald Trump, which is either lost on Cash Patel or maybe at a certain point as a right winger. You have to just ignore [00:03:21] the fact that almost all of the most creative and artistic people in this country absolutely despise you and everything that you stand for and just consume their stuff anyway. I get it, I occasionally have to do that too. I'm kind of excited for the Harry Potter show, so they just have it much more commonly. So, Casper's out there telling a whole bunch of [00:03:38] lies about crime reduction and all that nonsense. He's putting up post constantly again, these are just for Donald Trump. Interestingly, there is a category of that Cash Patel seems a little bit less hot to investigate. And you can see it here. This is white collar criminal [00:03:55] prosecutions. Now admittedly, they've been trending down for some time. Joe Biden did not exactly have a great track record in that area as well. That said, precipitous decline in 2025. And it's even more ridiculous when you consider that, that is a reduction in the number of [00:04:13] new white collar prosecutions. That was paired, of course, with Donald Trump doing the most brazen and corrupt use of the pardon power that I've ever experienced when it comes to letting those white collar criminals that had already been brought to justice to just release them out there to scam another generation of Americans. That is the true criminal justice legacy [00:04:34] of one Cash Patel. And of course, his mishandling of the social media side of stuff like the Charlie Kirk investigation, him turning the- uh Looking the other way, at least with one eye, if not with both when it comes to things like the Epstein investigation, the entire thing has been a massive debacle. There is a reason so many people expect him to be fired. [00:04:53] But Yaz, at this point, do you think he's doing a good enough PR job to save his job? uh Barely, I would say barely. I think that he would probably have to also do some behind the scenes thing, do the public displays of affection. know that Trump, everyone knows that Trump really appreciates [00:05:10] those, but also, Maybe send him some flowers with a handwritten card, maybe some chocolates or some quarter pounders for McDonald's, he really seems to like those. All these things will just kind of help to bolster Cash Patel's position. But I also want to congratulate [00:05:26] Cash Patel because he's finally made it. He finally got parodied on SNL this past weekend. He was played by Aziz Ansari. And I do think Aziz did a good job in the parody. I think he could have bugged out his eyes a little bit more. I think that- ah I don't think he hit [00:05:42] the, I think he tried, admittedly it just seemed very difficult to do whatever Cash is doing with his eyes. But yeah, like that video that he put out, so much production and effort and time went into this weird propaganda video that as he said was just for Donald Trump. [00:05:57] He is just trying to convince Donald Trump to not fire him and a really good way of not getting fired from the job that you already have. is to just do the job that you already have and not to not do the job. What he has been doing is not doing his job. We have seen him drinking [00:06:15] with members of the Olympic team. We have seen him drinking on occasion, like more than we should, I feel. We see him tweeting a lot more. He's a very public facing FBI director. And for a position like that, I feel like you should be maybe a little less public facing. We saw [00:06:31] the numbers on white collar crime. We saw the fact that he is doing very little. to actually help the American people. He's doing very little that would actually benefit anyone in this country apart from Donald Trump and his very, very rich friends. And how long did he admit [00:06:46] to investigating James Comey over that 86, 47 picture? And then that's what he's been up to, I guess, for all this time, for weeks, months he's been doing that. So what are we paying this man for? On top of all of that, he bungled all of the, m assassination attempts, he was [00:07:08] there at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He didn't do a whole lot there either. Not that I expected him to actually do anything in the moment, but even afterwards, he just got up on stage and he just oh praised Donald Trump. He just was like, I'll just keep doing this. So he really is rather helpless, and that's not someone that you want in a position [00:07:26] like that. And then on top of everything else, he didn't even- the position in the first place, right? I don't know how he got this job. He got it just by being sycophantic to Trump. So maybe he's thinking, that's how I got the job. So maybe that's also how I will keep the job. But at the end of the day, he's making the administration look like a bunch [00:07:45] of goofs. And it's kind of funny because whenever they talk about firing these people that they put into position, what did you expect? This was always an inevitability. He was always going to make you look incompetent because this is a very incompetent administration. And I [00:08:00] think that's important for people to remember whenever you're looking at things, wanting to apply a logical eye to what you're looking at. And you forget sometimes that this is incompetency by design what we're witnessing. Well, I will say you mentioned the SNL thing. I'm sure for [00:08:19] a guy who so desperately wants to be cool and wants to be popular and hanging out with the hockey players or whatever, that must have been a great moment for him. Unfortunately, SNL broadcasts on the East Coast at almost midnight, so he'd already been wasted for four or five hours by then. So he probably didn't even get to experience it in real time.
