NEW 🚨 Kash Patel calls for the elimination of certain positions in Washington and to permanently suspend the security clearances of the 51 Intel agents who signed the letter stating that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Kash calls for the ushering in of a new bench or "team."

KASH: "The more that the media is attacking you, the more you are over the target."

Shawn Ryan and Kash Patel discuss where the Deep State is embedded in the government.

SHAWN: "They’re embedded in politics, mainstream media, intelligence agencies—they are former top leadership of the military that’s now embedded within the military industrial complex companies, I mean it’s—how many people are involved in this?"

KASH: "Thousands."

SHAWN: "How would you even begin your dismantle [the Deep State]?"

KASH: "The first Trump administration was the beach head, right? . . . [The American public] realized [we] weren’t lying about impeachment. They literally made up a piece of a phone call to launch a Presidential impeachment and put me in the middle of it by making up a meeting that never occurred. It sounded dirty at the time but when we released the transcripts, everyone realized there was no quid pro quo. Nothing illegal happened here. But the narrative was out there—President Trump was the first President to get impeached in a long time. They had their narrative. They don’t necessarily care about the conclusion portion of their mission. They use the mainstream media to say "Trump is a Russian asset. He’s been impeached." "Kash Patel is under DOJ surveillance for whatever investigation. I’ve had more mainstream media hits on me than I can count, but they want the title narrative to carry the day. "Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation. They don’t care about the actual truth. So once you start stacking these together and you show the American public, "You were lied to. You based your vote at the polls based on information that the government purposely withheld from you so that you would vote a particular way. Once you show enough Americans that, then you have the movement that you need behind the leadership that we have in Donald Trump to take a wrecking ball to the Deep State."
