kash was a public defend sh, he worked with trey gowdy about the russia hoax. he has the trust of the president. we will see how this plays out. but trey gowdy is enthusiastically supports kash patel and that means a lot to me. >> okay. but he's got a list he's published, kash patel has, he published it in a book of enemies, it includes people like the fbi director, defense secretary austin, bill barr, former white house counsel pat cipollone, former dr. ia director gina haskell. the head of centcom. do you take him by his word and you're going to put him in a law enforcement role to go after them? >> i believe the hearing will expose him to be a very qualified man of the law. he wrote a book, he will have to answer questions about what's in the book, but i'm ready to vote for him because i know him, too. see, he never asked me about the russia hoax that he exposed. people on the right believe that he was part of the solution not the problem. you asked a good question of brett, has israel suffered because of this war? they went too far on the world stage. here

don't ask trey gowdy. he isn't saying the c.i.a.ate terrorism inside the united states. you were a smart guy, trey gowdy. i think you are great and love seeing you this morning. have a great day. see you later. >> bill: breaking news from the hill. pam bondi now on her way to becoming the next attorney general voted out of committee favorably 12-ten the vote. she picked up one democrat, right? i guess we could argue that. maybe more along the way. stand by for more coming up on that. chairman grassley is allowing the rest of the senators to make comments inside that hearing room. speaking of hearings, 18 minutes away, rfk, don't move for that. the nation's report card is out showing american kids are struggling. where they've made gains and where they are falling behind. we'll tell you. watching the hill. senators getting ready to question the nominee. should be a good one, dana. we have been waiting weeks for this one. we'll bring it to you live as soon as it gets underway. more t . . it's more than cleaning. that's the thing we'll

trey gowdy former congressman from south carolina. radio political analyst. josh, your assessment of let's start with kash patel, how that hearing went today and his performance. obviously some of the questioning was fiery as i mentioned. >> these are all some of the toughest hearings from trump's cabinet nominees the fbi director in the case of kash patel. look, patel really tried to soften his image. he portrayed himself as the son of immigrants, a rags to riches story. he pledged to follow the rule of law. even criticized the sublee, the division by president trump to pardon all of the january 6th rioters. but, look, there was a lot of comments he made in the past. there is a lot of incendiary rhetoric he has offered that democrats really honed in on. republicans it sounds like he going to have the support in the committee worries about maintaining that bipartisan support. you could hear the hostility in a lot of the questioning. he has made incendiary comments come back to bite him. of the three nominees on the hot seat today pate

i want to bring back kevin o'leary and trey gowdy and last thoughts. this was a lot of information. a lot of focus on fema. trey, honestly i'm a little confused whether or not you take away fema and replace it with executive actions for just north carolina or if he is talking about it as a whole as an agency. what did you take away? >> both. immediately he is going to bypass fema and use michael whatley to get what north carolina needs. in the long term he is pinging to do away with fema. you may have one coordinator to make sure the money gets to the states hit by natural disasters. i read both into that. >> harris: kevin o'leary, quickly before we let you go. off topic a bit here but something the president has kept his eye on as they begin to go to the first site in north carolina and see some of the damage that is still remaining. tiktok, are you going to buy it? are you ready? >> yes, we are. i think a lot of hype and a lot of, you know, just -- you have no information you get speculation. but i will tell you one thing about this deal that is so complicated. no one has read the

trey: good evening thank you for joining us i'm trey gowdy. it is "sunday night in america". 2025 as a challenger changes so will government. republicans have been given the gift of governing. donald trump won the presidency in convincing fashion and the word mandate is used a lot in politics, the question is a mandate for what, what will be on the legislative and executive agenda and how quickly can those agendas be implement it. as trump begins joe biden leaves after half a century in politics to the extent people remember how things in, clio will not kind. after promising not to let me campaign on respect for the judicial system and then commuted the sentences of nearly every single death row inmate. it is one thing to be morally opposed to the death penalty. many people are, it's another thing to pick and choose when to honor a jury and went to ignore a jury. biden commuted sentence for 37 different pillars which means he overruled the will of 444 americans who served and sacrificed and were probably sequestered for the dependency of these trials, juries found the defenda

. >> bret: when the tide seemed to turn is when trey gowdy came on this show and said he advocated forusly the fbi has been under attack for all the moves that have happened over the last pew years. your sense about how this is going to go tomorrow? >> i think that are some issues with kash patel, but of the people we're discussing tomorrow, i don't think he is the biggest concern. for republicans in the senate, frankly, i think i would go back to gabbard as being a much, much bigger concern. you talk about her relationships with republicans, one of the reasons is because she has this history of opposing policies, including the trump administration's first term policies when it comes to a lot of foreign affairs. she opposed trump getting out of the iran nuclear deal that obama got into. it's been disastrous. she opposed the killing of soleimani. she has sided with guard snowden a spy who gave secrets to russia and china and our enemies and she is going to be the head of 17, 18 intelligence agencies nothing in political history that tells me she is up for this job. that will be the focu

at the end of the previous show, i asked trey gowdy if he's taking away fema by executive action just for north carolina, or -- both? he said probably more quickly it will come from north carolina but he has to get it out of the hands of a broken agency. you mentioned the death from katrina and helene. they are one and 2 now in the modern history. i know this galveston hurricane in 1900, we had more than 8,000 people die, but in modern history, we are looking at one and 2. it is an embarrassment to the federal government that it took so long for fema to even -- we still have 2 million cubic pounds of debris on the ground from helene. that could take a long time -- cubic feet, excuse me -- a long time to pick it up. they have only picked up 1 million cubic feet and debris and it's been 122 days. >> i think another thing worth mentioning when we think about fema is the scandal it is developed in that got inappropriate attention because we were in the middle of the election and its aftermath. this from the daily wire. "government employs told the daily wire that at least 20 million homes

because of you and trey gowdy and others we now know about this.rybody who signed the warrant under questioning by me said if they knew then what they know now they wouldn't have signed the warrant. comey said that. yates said that. rosen stein said that. the reason you are here is because most of the public, almost every republican believes that the f.b.i. has been used continuously in a political fashion, ignoring evidence, making up evidence, lying to get donald trump. and when it came to the hunter biden laptop they told every social media outlet in october of 2020 oh, that's russian disinformation. that was b.s., too. right before the election the f.b.i. intervened to shut reporting on the hunter laptop down as being russian misinformation according to zuckerberg. do you promise all of us those days are over at the f.b.i.? >> yes, senator, they are. >> are you proud of what you did to find all that? >> absolutely. >> do you think that's why you are here today to make sure it never happens again >> the american people deserve just that. >> sena

trey gowdy joins us now and before these two presidents come out let's get some thoughts from you. >> you know what? it's weird about politicians. you can fight for a year and then go break bread together. that's why you have such low approval numbers. most of the world can't do that. >> dana: there is mike johnson, speaker of the house with a narrow majority. >> hardest job in the world. i would rather be an orth done advertise for a crocodile be be the speaker of the house right now. >> dana: with or without anesthesia. >> i would do it blindfolded. >> i was with him, he and his wife. they had a beautiful reception at the library of congress. he was in very good spirits for a guy with a one or two vote margin. good spirits. big, beautiful bill, that's what we talked about. >> dana: you have the rotunda. everybody coming in. trey, i'm sure you recognize some of these folks. 600 people in the rotunda, is that right? >> 600 in the rotunda. all golden tickets. 2200 in the overflow room. 3,000 total. it was a hot ticket over the weekend. what i was thinking, think about the last seven mo

with this case and the legal analysis from jonathan turley and trey gowdy and andy mccarthy and so many others who said this seemed to be a travesty, miscarriage of justice with charges left and right bootstrapped together to get around statute of limitations and force it into a courtroom, that the american people looked at this, not all of the american people, but certainly the majority of them, looked at this and said this is unfair. and they are only doing this to try to stop this former president from running for re-election. and the ground swell of support for him cleared went unnoticed bay lot of pollsters and left wing media but in the end i remember being there and seeing the sweep of all seven battleground states just really gave voice to what we had heard rumblings about that people were so ticked off by this they were willing to put him back in office because they liked what he had done the previous four years. >> it is not paranoia if they are actually out to get you. a lot of people saw it that way. there is a coyote and roadrunner thing going on here. they just keep trying

and trey gowdy said and all the use of prosecuting, i've never prosecuted, gets a question of educationy says did what i have had to prosecute a homeschooled kid or an eagle scout. we've got two of them here. that's a testament to parents have been ahead of the curve and willing to do something for the kids and i think what's encouraging is now there's a brick-and-mortar option and more on my options to the point where we get to a critical mass where we're public at three, four, five, 6% of graduates in this country they could be a part of leadership change in the future. >> each of you have an opportunity say hi to pete and on behalf of the strophic items i want to

so for me it was a concern because we were at the time and at the time trey gowdy and chairman were looking into this, beginning to be that -- but as soon as mueller was named as the special prosecutor in the back of my mind i said, you could tell this is what they were wanting and then the democrats latched onto it as if it was a gospel. it just became -- you couldn't even speak ill about robert mueller. that's where it began. strzok, mccabe, page, all of the names that became famous, looking at the text messages, emails, insurance policies, all this kind of stuff would show the bias here tush thed out to be a very partisan investigation. they missed one thing, by the time the mueller investigation all completed, by the time they had gained control of the house which was the time mueller investigation was, this was not the same robert mueller. at the end of the day came back before many for of knew and that the collusion wasn't there and there was not obstruction. but the democrats couldn't take that. so really for me that concerning part, even to this day, one thing -- fisa court. this is

and because of you and trey gowdy and others we now know about this. everybody who signed the warrant under questioning by many said if they knew then what they know now they would not have signed. comey, yates, rosenstein said that. the reason you are here is because most of the public almost every republican believes that the fbi has been used continuously in a political fashion, ignoring evidence, making up evidence and lying to get donald trump. and when it came to the hunter biden laptop, they told every social media outlet in october 2020, that is russian disinformation. that was bs too. right before the election the fbi intervenes to shut reporting on the hunter laptop down as being russian misinformation according to zuckerberg. do you promise all of us, those days are over at the fbi? mr. patel: they are. sen. graham: are you proud of what you did to find all of that? and do you think you are here to find out -- make sure that does not happen again? mr. patel: yes. sen. whitehouse: i remember january 6. colleagues running through the halls to

for me it was a concern because at the time trey gaudi and chairman goodlett -- trey gowdy and chairman goodlatte were looking into this and beginning to build out. i don't know if you remember this. as soon as mueller was named as a special prosecutor. in the back of my mind, i said you could tell this is what they want. and a democrat latched onto it. he became, you cannot speak ill of robert mueller. that's where he began. and it struck mccabe, overpaid. they became famous and we were looking at the text messages , e-mails, and the insurance policies. it was so by a spring and then it summed up to be a very partisan investigation. but they missed one thing. by the time the mueller investigation was completed and they gain control of the house which is the time the mueller investigation. this was not the same robert mueller. he had put around him some very partisan people that, at the day, many of us knew and the collusion was not there are really democrats couldn't take a that. for me that is the concerning part. even to this day, one things that we talk about, this is the fisa court
