(7:05am) Bill Pascoe from the Tea Party Patriots talks about the new FBI leadership team of Kash Patel & Dan Bongino...what's next for them and what's the possibility of real change that can earn back the trust of Americans? From Tea Party Patriots: “On Thursday afternoon, the Senate voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director, a significant victory for law-abiding Americans and especially conservatives who have victimized by the FBI's political lawfare. Tea Party Patriots Action mobilized its grassroots activists to support the Patel nomination and applauded the 51 Senators who voted to confirm him. "’As a relentless crusader against government corruption, Patel's sole focus has been on providing transparency to all Americans. Now, Patel has the opportunity to clean house, rebuild trust, and ensure the FBI serves its true purpose: enforcing the law, not advancing a political agenda. This confirmation is a victory for the American people and a warning to the entrenched bureaucrats who thought they could operate without accountability." @wpascoe @TPPatriots More info on Tea Party Patriots here: https://www.teapartypatriots.org/ (7:20am) Megyn Kelly gets the wrong info regarding the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the White House as Super Bowl champs.
