The Senate Just Exposed Kash Patel — And It Was Brutal

You are not going to believe the humiliation we just witnessed in the United States Senate.

If you’ve been worried that Donald Trump plans to weaponize the FBI by installing a loyalist sycophant like Kash Patel, today’s hearing confirmed your worst fears. But it also gave us a moment of absolute clarity—thanks to Senator Amy Klobuchar.

Klobuchar didn’t come armed with platitudes. She came armed with receipts. Patel’s own words. On camera. In writing. On podcasts. And when confronted with those words under oath, Kash Patel did the only thing he knows how to do.

He folded.

He couldn’t defend calling January 6th police officers cowards.
He couldn’t defend promoting conspiracy theories about Italian satellites rigging the election.
He couldn’t defend threatening journalists or fantasizing about prosecutions.

So instead, he claimed he couldn’t remember saying things we all heard him say.

That alone should disqualify him.

Klobuchar Forces the Truth Into the Record

Senator Klobuchar methodically walked him through his own statements.

Did you say the 2016 and 2020 elections were rigged by the government?
“I don’t have that in front of me.”

Did you accuse Capitol Police officers of lying about January 6th?
“I don’t think that’s accurate.”

Did you post that January 6th was not an insurrection and that officers were “cowards in uniform”?
“I don’t have it in front of me.”

Each time, Klobuchar calmly responded: We’ll put it in the record.

Because it is in the record.

This is the pattern. These people go on Steve Bannon’s podcast, Truth Social, and friendly MAGA media and say the most incendiary, anti-democratic things imaginable. But the moment they are under oath—when lies carry consequences—they suddenly develop amnesia.

That’s not confusion.

That’s cowardice.

The Vaccine Grift and the Prosecutor Fantasy

Klobuchar then pivoted to Patel’s promotion of a so-called COVID vaccine “detox” supplement—something scientists explicitly said had no medical basis.

Did you conduct clinical trials?
“No, I’m not a doctor.”

But you promoted it anyway.

That’s not “free choice.” That’s preying on fear.

Then came the most chilling part.

Patel has repeatedly said that when Trump returns to power, he wants to prosecute Justice Department officials using RICO statutes for allegedly “rigging” elections.

Yes or no—did you say that?

Again: partial statements. Out of context. Memory failure.

But Klobuchar didn’t let him escape the obvious question:
Is this about justice—or revenge?

The Media Threats and the FBI Meltdown

Then she went further.

Did you call the media “the most powerful enemy the United States has ever seen”?
Did you say you would come after journalists criminally or civilly?
Did you say you’d put the “fake news mafia” on a list?

Again, Patel dodged. Again, Klobuchar cited dates, podcasts, transcripts.

And finally, she asked the question that exposed everything:

Did you say the FBI headquarters should be shut down and turned into a “Museum of the Deep State”?

Patel refused to answer.

Let that sink in.

The man nominated to lead the FBI—the agency that stops domestic terrorism, dismantles organized crime, and hunts child predators—believes its headquarters should be turned into a monument to a conspiracy theory.

This Is Project 2025 in Real Time

This is not about reform.

This is about breaking the FBI so it can never again investigate corruption in Trump’s orbit.

They don’t want career agents.
They want political operatives.
They don’t want facts.
They want loyalty.

Patel’s performance today was a test. He wanted to see if he could gaslight the Senate the same way they gaslight their voters.

But when the context is accusing the U.S. government of rigging elections with Italian military satellites, there is no missing sentence that makes that sane.

It’s disqualifying.

And the fact that we’re even entertaining this nomination tells you how far the goalposts have moved.

Why This Matters

The corporate media may frame this as a partisan spat. Democrat versus Republican. Business as usual.

It’s not.

This is a battle for reality itself.
A battle to stop institutions from being hollowed out by people who openly despise them.

Senator Klobuchar was right.

Facts matter.
Truth matters.
And without them, the justice system collapses.

We’re going to keep pulling the clips.
We’re going to keep showing the receipts.
And we’re not going to let this be memory-holed.

If you believe in that mission, support independent media that doesn’t answer to donors or party bosses. We work for you.

Thanks for watching. We’ll see you next time.
