Kash Patel Exposes the Rampant Fraud Schemes Plaguing the Country

[00:00:00] We want to talk with FBI Director Cash [00:00:03] Patel who is making time to join us [00:00:05] here. Uh welcome to the show. Uh Mr. [00:00:07] Director, [00:00:09] >> it's always great to be with you guys. [00:00:11] Thanks for having me on. [00:00:12] >> Well, thank you for making the time for [00:00:14] us. We get right into it. Yesterday was [00:00:16] a big day. There was a FBI warrant that [00:00:20] was executed at the main election [00:00:24] warehouse operations center in Fulton [00:00:26] County, Georgia relating to the 2020 [00:00:28] election. What can you tell us, sir? [00:00:31] >> Yeah, thanks so much for having me. As [00:00:32] you know, I really don't do these types [00:00:34] of appearances, but I wanted to address [00:00:37] it because it's such of great public [00:00:38] importance. And let me just set the [00:00:40] backdrop. President Trump under his [00:00:42] leadership and under the Department of [00:00:44] Justice and the Attorney General have [00:00:46] made it a priority to reduce crime and [00:00:48] safeguard American citizenry. That's why [00:00:50] this FBI along with our partners were [00:00:52] able to reduce produce a reduction in [00:00:55] the murder rate by 20 percentage points [00:00:57] from coast to coast. That is an all-time [00:00:59] record for the modern era. This FBI has [00:01:01] arrested 67,000 people in the last year. [00:01:04] That's a 210% increase from the year [00:01:07] before. And we're seizing fentinol at [00:01:09] record levels, enough to kill 150 [00:01:11] million Americans, 35% more espionage [00:01:13] arrests. The reason I go through these [00:01:15] statistics is because within these [00:01:16] statistics are lives saved in [00:01:18] communities safeguarded by President [00:01:20] Trump's brilliant leadership and our [00:01:22] great partners at the Department of [00:01:23] Justice um under Attorney General Pam [00:01:25] Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd [00:01:27] Blanch. And the reason I bring these [00:01:29] things out and we captured six top 10 of [00:01:31] the FBI's most wanted in one year, [00:01:33] including Ryan Wedding and another [00:01:34] individual in Mexico just last week [00:01:36] where I was. And the reason I go through [00:01:38] this is because we, thanks to President [00:01:40] Trump, are a law enforcement [00:01:43] um uh police force for the United States [00:01:46] government and we take these cases [00:01:48] seriously and we go into court and we [00:01:50] present the facts and we work the legal [00:01:53] process. And that's what you saw [00:01:54] yesterday. It was a DOJ and FBI effort [00:01:58] to present after an extended period of [00:02:00] time of investigations because as you [00:02:03] know any of these cases, the ones I just [00:02:05] talked about um in general or this one [00:02:07] specifically take time to develop. We [00:02:09] have to go out and conduct [00:02:10] investigations, interrogations, [00:02:12] interviews, collect information, data, [00:02:15] and synthesize them with our brilliant [00:02:16] partners at DOJ to present. And that's [00:02:18] what I want to highlight. The FBI and [00:02:19] DOJ presented this information to a [00:02:22] judge in Georgia where they determined [00:02:25] the judge that there was a finding for [00:02:26] probable cause following the [00:02:28] constitutional precepts that are [00:02:30] necessary to safeguard an investigation [00:02:32] just like any other we do. And what we [00:02:34] did yesterday was we presented our facts [00:02:37] and the findings of the investigation [00:02:38] and the judge determined there was [00:02:39] probable cause. And then you saw the [00:02:41] results. We went and executed a search [00:02:43] warrant and collected the information [00:02:45] pursuant to that search warrant to [00:02:48] continue our investigation. And that's [00:02:50] what I want to harp on to your audience [00:02:52] and the American people. These things [00:02:54] take time. And it's not one of those [00:02:56] matters where I'm saying trust us. I'm [00:02:58] saying look at the last year under [00:03:00] President Trump's leadership what this [00:03:01] DOJ and FBI has done. Record levels of [00:03:04] safety across America. And we are going [00:03:07] after the worst of the worst including [00:03:08] child predators and and our arrest on [00:03:10] child predators and disrupting child [00:03:12] predator networks are up anywhere from [00:03:13] 50 to 500% depending on the category. So [00:03:16] we're taking the same mindset to every [00:03:18] kind of investigation. And that's what [00:03:20] you saw unfold yesterday. The leadership [00:03:22] of the DOJ and FBI on the ground going [00:03:25] and presenting facts to a neutral and [00:03:27] detached arbiter of justice, the judge [00:03:30] who authorized a search warrant and we [00:03:32] collected more information. So, uh, [00:03:35] Director Patel, I, you know, there was [00:03:37] multiple truckloads of materials, [00:03:39] including boxes of ballots, physical [00:03:41] ballots from 2020, uh, ballot images, [00:03:44] 2020 voter roles, uh, tabulators, [00:03:47] potentially tapes. What was the [00:03:50] predicate for this? What What can you [00:03:52] tell us? Uh, and you say it takes a lot [00:03:55] of time to build this case. Is there any [00:03:56] other granularity or details you can [00:03:58] share with the audience? [00:04:01] What we do is to safeguard the integrity [00:04:03] of this investigation or any [00:04:05] investigation is apply for the search [00:04:07] warrant. And then what we do is we speak [00:04:09] through our public papers in court. And [00:04:11] what we will do next over the course of [00:04:14] time with the Department of Justice is [00:04:16] move to have the search warrant unsealed [00:04:18] so that the American public can read [00:04:20] whatever material um that we put in [00:04:23] there. Right now that of course remains [00:04:25] under seal so I can't discuss it. And [00:04:27] also I want to highlight that we don't [00:04:29] want to jeopardize any in any any piece [00:04:31] of this investigation by releasing [00:04:33] information not just prematurely but we [00:04:35] as officers of the court our US [00:04:36] attorneys and our FBI agents are [00:04:39] responsible and committed under the law [00:04:41] to abide by the parameters of the search [00:04:43] warrant and that's the rubric we're [00:04:44] operating under right now. So I think [00:04:46] you'll see again given the last year [00:04:48] that we've had under President Trump [00:04:50] that we divulge information. We produce [00:04:53] information to Congress and the public [00:04:54] at record levels and we're going to [00:04:56] continue to do that but we're not going [00:04:57] to jeopardize the investigation. [00:04:59] Yesterday was a big public facing step [00:05:01] and you're right. You saw trucks, you [00:05:03] saw material being removed and what the [00:05:05] FBI will do is now analyze that [00:05:06] information and we will take the next [00:05:08] investigatory steps with our Department [00:05:10] of Justice partners. the FBI and DOJ [00:05:12] will run this investigation um as we [00:05:14] have every other investigation that has [00:05:16] resulted in these record achievements [00:05:17] for the president and under the [00:05:19] president's leadership for America. [00:05:22] >> What can you tell us about the timeline [00:05:25] um that we obviously understand I hear [00:05:28] you're harping on it. These things take [00:05:30] time to develop. Is there any [00:05:32] expectations about when we might get the [00:05:34] next update on this case? Because this [00:05:36] has generated a ton of interest and [00:05:39] intrigue as you as I'm sure you're [00:05:40] aware. What's next? When can we what can [00:05:43] we expect next? [00:05:45] >> And that and that's just it. You know, I [00:05:47] can't predict where an investigation is [00:05:49] going to go. What we do best with our [00:05:52] our our lawyers and our agents is gather [00:05:55] the evidence, which we just did, which [00:05:57] takes a monumental step to do so. And [00:06:00] then we have to we have to look at it [00:06:01] and see, okay, now what do we got? Do we [00:06:04] need more search warrants? Do we need um [00:06:06] to talk to more witnesses? Do we need to [00:06:09] examine any other locations or pieces of [00:06:11] evidence? And so that's going to unfold [00:06:13] as we go through the evidence. But as [00:06:14] you highlighted, it takes a minute to go [00:06:17] through truckloads of evidence. And [00:06:18] that's the next step. Once we go through [00:06:21] that and we discuss the matter with [00:06:23] Department of Justice and FBI personnel, [00:06:25] then we'll make any next public facing [00:06:27] steps were permitted um without [00:06:30] jeopardizing the investigation. So, I [00:06:32] just wanted to address that to say this [00:06:34] has been a wellthoughtout, methodical uh [00:06:37] predicated investigation and and and [00:06:40] that's what we do here and that's what [00:06:42] the president wants us to do. Follow the [00:06:44] facts and the law and that's all we're [00:06:46] doing here at DOJ and FBI. And you know, [00:06:48] we're just we're just thankful that we [00:06:49] have a great attorney general and deputy [00:06:51] attorney general um and great FBI [00:06:53] personnel who dedicated themselves not [00:06:55] just to this mission, but to the entire [00:06:57] mission of keeping America safe. And [00:06:59] that's what we're going to do. We're not [00:07:00] going to change it for any any type of [00:07:02] investigation. The results speak for [00:07:05] themselves. And the results after one [00:07:07] year will hopefully give the American [00:07:08] public confidence that we will handle [00:07:10] this investigation no differently than [00:07:11] any other. Uh, Director Patel, the uh, [00:07:15] the Fulton County chairman has been [00:07:16] complaining that he says the ballots are [00:07:19] no longer safe and secure because the [00:07:21] FBI has them, that they've lost uh, I [00:07:25] What do you have to say to that? [00:07:28] >> The FBI is the world's premier law [00:07:30] enforcement agency. We collect evidence [00:07:32] from around the country and all over the [00:07:33] world. We have facilities that store [00:07:35] evidence. We have facilities that [00:07:37] maintain the chain of custody. And for [00:07:39] anybody to hint that this FBI or this [00:07:41] Department of Justice is mishandling [00:07:43] evidence is just flatout political [00:07:45] buffoonery. We will maintain the chain [00:07:48] of custody. We will secure it like we [00:07:50] always do and we will make sure that we [00:07:52] can use it to further any investigation [00:07:55] and most importantly we will make sure [00:07:56] that it is maintained um under the [00:07:59] rigors of the law so that we can use it [00:08:01] um in any future court proceedings that [00:08:04] may rise out of any investigation. And [00:08:07] that's kind of a last point there. Is [00:08:09] there any concern? I was checking the [00:08:11] statute of limitations on a lot of [00:08:13] election fraud claims is 5 years which [00:08:16] were basically [00:08:17] >> right up against [00:08:18] >> right up against is is there any concern [00:08:20] about timeline on that or do they have [00:08:22] they thought of ways they could extend [00:08:23] that? Has that entered the calculus at [00:08:25] all? you know, the calculus with the in [00:08:29] terms of the statute is always for our [00:08:30] our brilliant attorneys at DOJ uh who we [00:08:33] work in conjunction with and we always [00:08:35] abide by the statute of limitations and [00:08:38] any constitutional parameters that we [00:08:40] have. But we were able to effectuate [00:08:42] this search warrant in a timely fashion [00:08:45] um legally and had a judge find make a [00:08:49] finding of probable cause. So we we did [00:08:51] just that and that's where we are today. [00:08:53] And look, especially for you and your [00:08:55] audience who have been such great [00:08:56] supporters of law enforcement, I wish I [00:08:59] could tell you more. And hopefully the [00:09:01] audience takes away the fact that after [00:09:03] one year under President Trump, it's no [00:09:06] longer trust us. It's look at what we've [00:09:08] done and we're going to continue to do [00:09:10] the same thing here. [00:09:11] >> Well, uh, Director Patel, I know you got [00:09:12] a dash. Um, and we just thank you for [00:09:15] your time, but you guys have [00:09:16] accomplished a lot with that top 10 most [00:09:19] wanted list. You're making massive [00:09:20] progress there. Murders are down, crime [00:09:22] is down. Uh so uh we we appreciate you [00:09:26] making the time. We will wait on baited [00:09:28] breath for updates on this case as I as [00:09:30] I know you know Director Patel just how [00:09:32] much this means to the base and [00:09:34] President Trump's supporters. Thank you [00:09:35] again for your time. [00:09:38] >> Thank you so much and thanks thank you [00:09:39] and Erica and the entire Turning Point [00:09:41] community. We really appreciate your [00:09:42] support of law enforcement. [00:09:44] >> Thank you. God bless you.
