we are here with devin nunes that house chairman committee and that is one of a site, youto guys arel the time and i post all the time i felt that that isn't there another reason, devin nunes they cannot oblige kash patel? isn't that because he sat in a fateful meeting with president trump and acting and secretary of defense and thef th head of the joint chiefs knowing when president trump himselfth brought up the issue of national guard january 6th on his own, he said maybe we should ask if they want thee national guard. let's get the national guard to, inspector general, defense department y said yes. kash patel as former secretary of defense said yes, that is exactly what donald trump said. doesn't this give the whole light donald trump was leaving and another reason they figure they have to suffocate him with> a pillow? >> well, does aned it also included in your monologue the fake news politico story how these pardons need to go up to adam schiff, liz cheney and all these people. way but they bring that up? i think you hit the nail on the head to, they had that information from

and i've got to add, without devin nunes work and a few others under devin's leadership, kash and i worked elbow to elbow. >> so most of what you went through with russia collusion, the funding for the dossier, the use of the dossier and fisa applications for fisa abuse, the dnc connection, you never would have known about that, sean. and for two reasons. number one, adam schiff was the number one headwind. but a close second was the dc media. this is the same media. you just went through a litany of things wrong with the fbi. well where did peter strzok wind up. he wound up with the media. where did andy mccabe wind up with the media? the media laughed and giggled when jim comey said i would have treated obama differently from the way i treated trump. so this is an fbi that has found a home on the left. we wouldn't we wouldn't know. we wouldn't know half of what we know about russia if it weren't for kash patel's work. and he is the most unfairly maligned staffer that i dealt with in my eight years there. now, devin may have a different opinion, but i've never seen the media go after a st

larry: with great pleasure joining me now, old friend devin nunes.vin great to see you. i'll come out, i have been advocating kash patel for fbi, i think he is the right man for the job, he was one of your top deputies when you ran the intelligence committee and he broke through russian host, maybe you could spin a yarn or too about how good kash patel office. >> thank you, you also worked with him in the white house. the fbi and do doj covered up our investigation, kash patel went on to better things. to the work for director of national intelligence, department of defense, and his has been out in private sector, doing great things, i think that everyone that works with him, loves him, likes him, from my perspective, men and women in fbi that are out there towing tough work -- that are doing tough work, they want new leadership, they want someone new, i hear it all of time. larry: rank-and-file -- rad to dump leadership, leadership with all of its basis to left and against trump, are giving rank-and-file agency a bad name. >> you lived in new york.

you have to remember where he came was he came from devin nunes�*s office. time, in 2017, devin nunes was being accused of doing trump's bidding and trying to find ways to justify and back up what trump was saying with respect to the russia investigation, about being wire—tapped by obama and all the rest of it. and so that is the background to kash patel, and i don't think it should come as a surprise to anyone if his fbi... if he is senate—confirmed, will do what trump wants him to do. votes cast in ireland's general election are being counted across the country. figures from one exit poll suggest a dead heat between the three main parties. the left—wing opposition party sinn fein says it's hopeful of winning the most seats in the parliament in dublin for the first time. but fianna fail and fine gael which led the outgoing coalition government say they're also performing well in early tallies. it's still early in the process as only 39 of the 174 parliamentary seats have been filled so far. a final result isn't expected until at least the end of this weeken

if you think in the following to be to use to prove with devin nunes, that a political party in the unitedrica to go overseas to hijack the fbi go to a federal secret court and i to judge just to surveilled their political opponent, that's conspiracy stuff but that's what happened in our united states of america, to our present the first go round. what do you think these people are doing now? and there's no coincidences in government. .. so many people you've heard about. the only way to break that is if we don't accept there projection. are we the ones that sent law enforcement to houses of worship? we told parents you will dictate your children's education but they did it and the name of america. here is the kicker about the media. they serve and invaluable purpose. there are no government gangsters without corrupt actors and the media to continue lies about our america first mission so i started with, it's up to us but he's going to need help from us so what do you do? you pick one thing whether it's childcare education, drugs, narcotics -- pick one thing and go to your community and do

a few weeks back, truth social ceo devin nunes sat down with me to discuss the president elect's fantasticicks for intelligence and law enforcement. it's shaping up to be a tremendous group, if i say so myself. go. chairman nunes, john bolton compares kash patel to beria when he has a record like this. you had personal, substantive, constant interaction with kash patel. tell america about kash patel if you would. >> well, thanks, mark. it's great to be back on with you. i'm glad you're doing so well. and look, when you see people attacking you, that means you're right over the target. and that's why they're going after kash patel. so you may remember, not a lot of people are talking about this in the media, but he was a doj prosecutor before he came to work for the united states congress. we recruited him away from the department of justice because we needed someone that knew how doj and fbi, what they were doing to create this whole russia hoax. and of course, as our lead investigator, we uncovered something that nobody thought was even possible. one of the biggest hoaxes in american hist

he blindly followed the orders of devin nunes and trump and he will do the same at the fbi. to the agents at the fbi and the doj prosecutors, say this, was a prosecutor once. i had an oath to upkeep the constitution and the court and you were not helpless. you do not have to follow legal orders and the american people, while they want to see the cost of their goods and groceries come down, they do not want us to look like russia or china. it's going to depend on the women and men at the doj to stand tall and show the courage that led them to join the ranks of those forces. i still have trust that they will be a firewall as well. >> congressman eric swalwell, it's great to see you again. >>> senate republican circle the wagons to -- unqualified pix. why they are invested in one of them and saving the accent. the . cool right? look at this craftmanship. i mean they even got my nostrils right. it's just nice to know that years after i'm gone this guy will be standing the test of ti... he's melting! oh jeez... nooo... oh gaa... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, lib

maria: he's going to get to the bottom of it, he and devin nunes lived the surveillance. >> my hope isdon't go after those who oppose him in a vengeful way but more analogical fairway as i think they will. maria: i think many people would like to see some accountability for the russia collusion lie it ripped the country apart i would like to see some people be held to account for lying through their teeth that trump colluded with russia such a fantastic story it was ridiculous. >> it was made up. >> when you take the president's campaign russia collusion tank president trump's campaign you can see pull after polar people believe the lies, we need accountability there's not would be a push for vengeance is accountability to the merc and people. >> accountability to go after adam schiff. maria: he lied to the american people, the chairman of the intelligence committee, he knew better we have a lot coming up, we'll be right back. if you're living with dry amd, you may be at risk for developing geographic atrophy, or ga. ga can be unpredictable—and progress rapidly—leading to irreversible

ceo of truth social devin nunes, the former congressman, he's been picked to head the president's intelligenceat network that are very close to donald trump as well, that we know from days gone by, like steve bannon and mike flynn. then you look at fox news, of course, probably the most famous of them all at this point is pete hegseth, who's been nominated for defense secretary. and the difficult process that he's having, or had — seems to be smoothed over now at this point. host on fox & friends. his co—host, rachel campos—duffy, married to sean duffy, also a host on fox news, he's the pick for transportation secretary. doctor oz, of course, the celebrity doctor who's been picked to head up the agency in charge of medicare and medicaid. and there are a few others as well. and please no—one be offended if i've left you out, given a shout—out to your show. seb gorka as well, of course, who we interviewed on our show a couple of weeks ago, who is going to be the new director for counterterrorism. so there's a really interesting question there in terms of, you know, the media is supposed to be ki

>> kash patel has unique observation and history with the fbi on all sides of the fbi in for devin nunesn congress and oversight of the fbi and made life difficult that was before he realized how corrupt the fbi is and a target of the fbi in the reason he was a target is because he pressured the release of information exposing the fbi illegally spied on president trump campaign during his presidency and the idea that this late in washington with this be shocking he has experience and knows where the bodies are buried and will not be able to fool him of the cleaning that needs done. >> it looks like some of what he's done he served as u.s. national security council official senior advisor to the acting director of national intelligence is chief of staff to the acting united states secretary of defense during the trump administration so this is someone donald trump trust. we saw face the deep state during his first administration, we remember that russia hopes and 51 former intelligence officers who lied to us telling us hunter biden's laptop was disinformation so important the role of fbi

he became a congressional staffer to right-wing congressman devin nunes and join the trump administration in 2019. in addition to having zero experience with this work he has announced his intentions to abuse the power of the fbi to destroy the rule of law and go after political opponents, and that's the reason he is being chosen for the job as well as we can tell. longtime trump adviser told a reporter, a lot of people say he is crazy trump once said of him. i think he's kind of crazy but sometimes you need a little crazy. kash patel is ludicrous and a dangerous choice to run the fbi, but there's another problem that hangs over this. he can't get his job without scenic confirmation and someone holds the position of fbi director named christopher wray whose term doesn't expire for another three years. in a staff writer for the atlantic and in august she what about kash patel, the man who will do anything for trump, and she joins me now. let's start on this, it's an important point before we get to the bio. statutorily the fbi director has 10 year terms and there's a question if they have

including truth social ceo devin nunes as chairman of the president intelligence advisory board.rmer congressman known for his memo attacking the russia investigation. his appointment and the others have one thing in common. the book "team of rivals" is about the abe lincoln presidency, he brought in three men who ran against him and called it the political genius of lincoln. the 16th president was one of our nation's greatest. might explain why he's been obsessed with him. praising and slamming him alternately. but donald trump is not assembling a team of rivals but a team of toadies. people who are not in his cabinet because of expertise for the job they're picked for. they're there first and foremost for their loyalty to trump. pete hegseth should not be secretary of defense. but the opposition that seemed to be building against him started dissipating the moment trump expressed public support for him. senator joni ernst was the most vocal, but since the trump maga mob sprang into action, her rhetoric seems to have changed. fbi director christopher wray will leave, bowing to t

they spied on him because he was uncovering their malfeesence in russia collusion hoax he and g devin nunesvestigating how it happened and setting up trump, and spying on his new administration officials, he was getting to the bottom of it and did, he found out in 2017-18, fbi had covert surveillance warrants on his cloud. >> have they said why. >> no i'm sure he will find out. >> rudy giuliani suffered same spying, he didn't know until well after. the fbi had access to his records and e-mails about the laptop he was looking at in 2020. and they never gave an excuse other than there was a pfizer investigation -- fisa investigation that came to nothing. larry: caroline downey. talk about some other nominations also, but on this particular nomination, and kash patel is doing well. you have to ask yourself, how stupid are they? really, this is -- i mean i know fbi saga, miranda has written brilliantly about it this is an abuse of power. also i think politics. it is left versus right, they don't like conservatives. >> we saw this with how fbi targeted parents as domestic terrorists for daring t

people in the rank and file, so that i think was sort of what escalated as he went on to work for devin nunes, and this idea that you know, his grievance against the system, he's steadily accruing the powers you would need to exact revenge on the people who he feels has wronged him. >> did you see any of this when you're working with him at the fbi? >> this will surprise people, no. when he was working a number of east african terrorism cases, pieces of benghazi, i was directly involved in all that, he was a very responsible, motivated attorney, who built good partnerships with fbi agents and task force officers and across the agencies, so he has described himself as the legal liaison, but he built strong partnerships there and wound up working pretty routinely it's called joint interagency task force in washington, d.c. he was effective, if that kash patel showed up for senate confirmation, he would be well received. it is the actor in this political theater -- >> do you recognize this guy? >> not at all. >> it's disappointing. >> given your experience with him, christopher, and what we've s
