In short
The episode argues that FBI leadership (Director Kash Patel and AG Pam Bondi) is not being “sabotaged from within,” but is instead engaging in misconduct, leaking investigations, and scapegoating critics—while critics claim serious crimes are neglected.
Guests/backgrounds
No podcast guests are identified in the transcript. The episode cites outside figures: Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Kevin Cork, Kyle Serafin, Ken Delaney, Carol Lenning, Ron Filipkowski, and editor-in-chief references.
Key claims
Patel used a $60M taxpayer-funded jet to fly his 26-year-old girlfriend Alexis Wilkins (with flight logs/selfies), then allegedly shut down public tracking and fired FBI veteran Steve Palmer (Critical Incident Response Group). Patel also allegedly leaked a “Michigan Halloween terror plot” before charges existed; a lawyer claims the plot “never even existed.”
Notable examples
Penn State event (RAF/Reality Wrestling Federation), Michigan Halloween arrests with no criminal complaint filed, comparisons to a prior Boston Globe “Sinaloa cartel” mischaracterization story.

0:15Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump and MAGA Republican senators are panicking. They're saying that FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi are being sabotaged from within the FBI. You had Kevin Cork report that MAGA Republican Senator Ron Johnson said there is concern that FBI Director Cash Patel and Bondi are being, quote, sabotaged from within. Then MAGA Republican Senator Mike Lee posted Cash Patel and Dan Bongino are undoubtedly being sabotaged from within the FBI. We should all be grateful for their willingness to serve. And if you pray, it's not a bad idea to do so for them. Pray for Kash Patel and Dan Bongino individuals along with Pam Bondi who are covering up the Epstein files and who are responsible for firing a ton of the FBI leadership that actually had the requisite experience to go after the real criminals out there.
1:10Ben Meiselas:while you have Kash Patel and Pam Bondi and the Department of Homeland Security going after migrants in Home Depot parking lots and in farms and in factories, while these serious crimes are not being prosecuted nearly close to the degree that they once were. And it's not that Kash Patel is being sabotaged from within. It's that Kash Patel is doing things in the public eye that are blatantly despicable. Like he was just caught in the past 72 hours using a private jet, which actually belongs to the public. So I perhaps shouldn't call it a private jet, a$60 million jet paid for by the taxpayers to fly around his 26-year-old girlfriend by the name of Alexis Wilkins.
2:01Ben Meiselas:They then posted selfies and themselves partying at the events where he was flying her to and from, like there was this event at Penn State at something called RAF, like Reality Wrestling Federation, real American freestyle wrestling. She posted the selfies, his 26-year-old girlfriend posted the selfies. We knew they were together. And then you had people like Kyle Serafin doing good investigative work, posting the flight logs, showing that Kash Patel was flying that jet that belonged to the taxpayers. It's like between$10 ,000 to$15 ,000 an hour to fly. He flew it to Penn State to pick up his 26-year-old girlfriend, then flew her back to Tennessee where she lived.
2:45Ben Meiselas:And then when that became a big public story, Kash Patel then fired an FBI leader who had like nothing to do with outing Kash Patel using the jet. I mean, it's a public information. There are public trackers. And then Kash Patel immediately shut down the public tracking of the public jet. By the way, I think that there should be a lawsuit filed against that because he's ordered that the public tracking service not track tail number N708JH, which belongs to the United States government, where we the people should be able to track where the hell he's bringing that jet and what the hell he's doing, gallivanting on the taxpayers.
3:27Ben Meiselas:dime, but he fired a guy by the name of Steve Palmer, a 27-year veteran of the FBI, who was the third head of something called the Critical Incident Response Group, the CIRG, which includes FBI pilots to be fired or removed in Patel's short reign for Patel's regime, adding to the year of retribution terminations that we've seen. Now, Steve Palmer, he wasn't the one who outed Kash Patel. It's not like he's the one who sabotaged Patel. It was a public document that Kyle Serafin posted, and then it became a big national story. But Steve Palmer's entire career has now been destroyed as a result of Kash Patel's vindictiveness.
4:13Ben Meiselas:Then Kash Patel took to social media to make the following post. He goes, I'm proud of the work of this FBI. We're taking violent criminals off the streets in record numbers, crushing the fentanyl crisis, dismantling cartels, saving children, hunting down terrorists, and so much more. Let me be clear. We will not be distracted by baseless rumors or the noise from uninformed internet anarchists and the fake news. I think he's trying to refer to Kyle Serafin as an internet anarchist. Did you take the jet, Kash Patel, or did you not take the jet? Because the flight logs show it, and your 26-year-old girlfriend is posting photos of you together at the event where the plane landed, idiot.
4:56Ben Meiselas:He goes on to say, as I've always said, criticize me all you want. But going after the people doing great work, my personal life, or those around me, it's a total disgrace. The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis, his 26-year-old girlfriend, a true patriot, and the woman I'm proud to call my partner in life are beyond pathetic. She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in 10 lifetimes. I'm so blessed she's in my life. Did you know that she's a country music sensation who's done more in her short life than most of you will do 10 times, says Cash Patel.
5:38Ben Meiselas:What an idiot these people are, huh? I mean, as Americans are suffering right now, this is what you're doing. You dig in the hole deeper, Cash. You know the law of holes. Stop digging, you idiot. He goes on to say, attacking her isn't just wrong. It's cowardly and jeopardizes our safety. My love a family will always be my cornerstone and you will never tear that down or keep me from them. I and this FBI will stay laser focused on our mission and will continue the reform we promised, rebuilding the bureau from the ground up and to our supposed allies staying silent. Your silence is louder than the clickbait haters.
6:14Ben Meiselas:Hey Cash, was this you in 2023? What you had to say about Chris Ray using the government jet, not to fly his girlfriend around, but to go to FBI conferences. I think this is you here. Play this clip right here. And I'm not saying take all their funding. I'm not the defund everything guy. I'm just saying Chris Ray doesn't need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacation. Maybe we ground that plane. 15 ,000 every time it takes off. This is odd. If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this. In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles and your equity is the target. Now here's how it works.
6:52Criminals forge your signature on one document. They use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county, and just like that your home title has been transferred out of your name. Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property and you won't even know what's happened. That is until you get a collection or foreclosure notice. So when's the last time you checked your home title? If your answer is never, you need to do something about it right now.

7:57Ben Meiselas:also happened in the past 72 hours as well that we're learning about is right before Halloween, Kash Patel posted the following, Michigan Halloween arrests are tied to international terrorism. Top federal law enforcement sources tell Fox News. I wonder, Kash, were you the source for that story? Because it goes to the same reporters that you leak all of the information to. Multiple suspects are accused of plotting violence over the Halloween weekend. And so even Kyle Serafin predicted, he's like, just wait, Kash Patel is going to make some big announcement about busting some international ring of terrorists to try to distract from the attention of using the public private jet,$60 million jet to fly around with his girlfriend.
8:46Ben Meiselas:Then Kash Patel wrote, the FBI stopped a potential terrorist attack in Michigan before it could unfold. Thanks to swift action and coordination with our partners, a violent plot tied to international terrorism was interrupted. This is what defending the homeland looks like. Vigilance saves lives. But Ken Delaney reported how Carol Lenning, she's a great reporter with Ken as well, and I are told that senior DOJ and FBI officials are frustrated that Kash Patel publicly disclosed this so-called Michigan terror investigation before a criminal complaint was even prepared and before key details were clear, including what exactly the plot entailed.
9:28Ben Meiselas:These were young people radicalized online. Apparently, it was a bunch of gamers who were talking in their gamer chat rooms, but it was unclear what their plot was ever going to be. They were being monitored and then Cash blew the cover of the entire investigation by posting that and leaking that information to Fox. So the rank and file FBI were like, dude, what the hell do you do? You just actually harmed our investigation that we were doing, just how capable these individuals were or how imminent the attack was remained to be seen. But I'll tell you, as of this recording before Monday morning, there was no criminal complaint even filed in Michigan against these individuals.
10:10Ben Meiselas:The Michigan lawyer representing some of the people who were detained, but there were not charges filed, says a Halloween terror plot that FBI Director Cash Patel described never even existed. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski writes, Keystone Cash needed a distraction from the story that he took another private public government jet to watch his girlfriend sing. The Michigan defense lawyer is disputing the FBI director's allegations that his 20-year-old client and four other young suspects were planning to carry out a terror attack on Halloween weekend, announcing their arrest on Friday.
10:50Ben Meiselas:Patel said more information would be coming soon. However, the FBI and Michigan authorities have offered few details about the case. Spokespersons for the state and national FBI and the U.S. attorney in Detroit did not immediately respond to messages Saturday. By the way, doesn't this sound a lot like the report we talked about from the Boston Globe that talked about when all these FBI agents and Department of Homeland Security said that they arrested like dozens of people in this like sleepy mill town in New Hampshire. They were like, we busted the Sinaloa cartel leaders. They were right here in this sleepy mill town in New Hampshire.
11:25Ben Meiselas:And then it just turned out, it was like just a bunch of drug addicts with no connections with the Sinaloa cartel. Boston Globe's investigative team did research and said there was no Sinaloa cartel leaders. It was just like homeless drug addicts. And that this, because everything this regime does is a lie and it's smoke and mirrors so that they could act all tough while in actuality, the hard work is not being done. It goes on to say how the lawyer who represents the individuals talks about how the group of individuals range from 16 to 20. If these young men were on forums that they should not have been on or things of that nature, we'll have to wait and see.
12:05Ben Meiselas:But I don't believe that there's anything illegal about any of the activity that they were doing, said the lawyer for these individuals. So, and no charges had been filed as of this recording. So we'll see what happens there. But then, you know, Kash Patel's girlfriend is 26 year old girlfriend. She goes around and she like gives interviews. Like she's like a spokesperson or something. I'm not sure for who, but she like does all this like right-wing media, like here she is on OAN and she's talking about how, you know, like, let me explain to you what the real big issues are here. Here, this is what she has to say.
12:41Ben Meiselas:Play this clip. You and I've talked about the border before. I don't think an American out there, unless there's some wacko lefty, could ever even lie or try to change the story. Joe left it open four years. Millions came in. Now thousands that want to do us harm are living amongst us. And thank goodness for cash and the FBI stopping this one this weekend. But there's going to be more. Absolutely. You know, this is the thing that we knew would happen with the Biden administration keeping the borders open, not protecting our homeland, is we knew that we would get illegal immigrants coming in by the hundreds of thousands.
13:18I mean, quite literally, those are the numbers. Committing violent crimes against American citizens, doing these horrible things that we see just ever so casually now, unfortunately, in the news. Of course, President Trump and his administration is cleaning up the streets. But that's even one thing. But the thing that I think gets a little bit to be a footnote is the fact that there are sleeper cells here that are planning these horrible attacks, these ISIS-style attacks, like we saw thwarted in Michigan this morning. And this is the stuff that would have just been carried out under the Biden administration.
13:51And the fact that the Trump administration and everyone at the leadership level of these organizations are trying to fix it is exactly what we voted for.
14:00Ben Meiselas:And she's out there talking about threats facing the homeland and what FBI doing. I mean, it's a, it's a very bizarre stuff right here. So we'll keep you posted every step of the way, but you've got the Trump regime, apparently very worried about this sabotage taking place, but it really just seems that, you know, this is Kash Patel and Bongino covering up the Epstein files, covering up a pedo sex trafficking ring, engaging in this just abhorrent behavior in public, the corruption and clear and present view, and people can see it and they're calling it out, but they have to find scapegoats. So this guy, Steve Palmer, the 27 year old FBI veteran, he gets axed and they just fire all their like people who imagine spending 27 years in the FBI.
14:47Ben Meiselas:You're like approaching the time to get your pension. And then Kash Patel goes with his girlfriend on a private jet. And then for no reason blames you for it. When the information was posted by his fricking girlfriend showing that they were partying together at Penn State. Crazy. Well, hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. Thanks so much for watching.
