So Republicans scheduled three confirmation hearings today to try to jam them all through of the most unqualified, dangerous people. You had Kash Patel, who Donald Trump put to lead the FBI. You had Tulsi Gabbard, who Donald Trump put to be the Director of National Intelligence. And you have anti-vaxxer RFK Jr., who Donald Trump put to run Health and Human Services. The hearings went off the rails awfully quickly today. We try to keep track of them all here on the Midas Touch Network. Here, Kash Patel, who Donald Trump once appointed to lead the FBI, is asked, can you simply say that Joe Biden won the 2020 election? Kash Patel refuses to do so. Play this clip.
Can you say the words, Joe Biden won the 2020 election?
Joe Biden was the president of the United States.
I'm going to stay on this. There's a difference. I can say the words, Donald Trump won. I don't like to say it, but I must say it.
Next up, you have Democratic Senator Dick Durbin asked Kash Patel about creating a musical with the January 6th insurrectionists and a song called the J6 Choir, which was used to replace the national anthem at Donald Trump campaign events. Play the clip.
Tell me about your J6 Choir. What is that?
Well, it's not my choir. It's simply a recording that was utilized to raise funds for families in need of nonviolent offenders.
Who sings on this recording? I don't know, Senator. What did you have to do with it?
Simply to raise funds to assist families of nonviolent offenders whose kids needed college education payments and whose rent needed being paid.
My understanding is that the performers on this J6 choir were the rioters who were in prison. I'm not aware of that, sir. I didn't have anything to do with the recording. You weren't aware of who made the recording? No, Senator.
Now, I want to show you this clip first to show you Kash Patel is a liar. Some may call that committing perjury. Others may say lying, but I'll leave that distinction or determination up to you and your opinion. But here, Kash Patel appears repeatedly on a show called Stu Peters, which spread some heinous conspiracies and lies and lies. bunch of toxic, dangerous, dangerous stuff. I want you to watch him first appear because then I'm going to show you a clip where Kash Patel says, Stu, I don't know this guy. So first, let me give you receipts.

Thanks, Stu. Always love coming on your show.

Thank you so much for being here. We appreciate it.

I got to go, Cash. Thank you so much for being here. We really appreciate it. Up against a hard break here. Thank you so much for being here. We appreciate it.
Thanks so much. Appreciate it, Stu.
Cash Patel, thank you so much for being here. We appreciate it.
Thanks so much, Stu. Appreciate it. You've got a great show.
Thank you.
Thank you for that montage, Ron Filipkowski, our editor-in-chief now. Democratic Senator Dick Durbin asked Kash Patel, do you know who Stu Peters? Are you familiar who that is? And Kash Patel's like, nope. Watch this.
Stu Peters, does that name ring a bell? I'm sorry, what? Are you familiar with Mr. Stu Peters?
Not off the top of my head.
He made eight separate appearances on his podcast. He promoted outrageous conspiracy theories and worked with a prominent neo-Nazi. They're more Ted Nugent. It goes on, the list goes on. I'm just asking, when it comes to your association with individuals, why are so many of them in this category?
