From the road in Pennsylvania, former Defense Department Chief of Staff Kash Patel joined Joe Pags to critique Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign approach. Speaking from the Trump Tour Bus, Patel pointed to Harris’s recent comments on Trump and General John Kelly, calling her approach “a continuation of her campaign based on hate and divisiveness.”
Patel highlighted Harris’s reliance on “government insiders” like Kelly and General Mark Milley, asserting that these allies contributed to a politicized Defense Department. “When Trump took over, he restored the civilian chain of command,” Patel said, crediting Trump with making Defense Department leadership accountable to civilian oversight.
Reflecting on his time in the Oval Office, Patel shared Trump’s commitment to honoring Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén, recalling, “Trump made sure her family received full military honors.” Patel expressed frustration with Harris’s contrasting statements, describing her recent comments as disrespectful to “the men and women in uniform.”
Before signing off, Patel urged early voting and emphasized Trump’s focus on engaging communities across the country. Catch more of Patel’s insights and his take on the Trump Tour’s momentum in the full interview below.
