In this live video rant, I dig into fresh reporting on FBI Director Kash Patel and his apparently insatiable need to feel important. According to multiple sources, Patel pressured the FBI to purchase a fleet of specially armored BMW SUVs for his personal use—ditching the traditional Chevrolet Suburban because, apparently, that just didn’t scream “power” loudly enough. We’re told this was done to be “less conspicuous,” which is a fun thing to say about armored luxury vehicles paid for by taxpayers.
But the BMWs are only part of the story. Patel also reportedly pushed for a brand-new FBI jet with a price tag approaching $100 million, before that idea collapsed under the weight of its own absurdity. All of this fits a broader pattern: questionable personal travel on government aircraft, vague claims about cost savings, and a glaring lack of transparency when it comes to actual numbers.
I walk through why this isn’t just about cars or jets—it’s about ego, entitlement, and a dangerously unserious approach to public power. Patel’s rise from right-wing media figure to FBI director makes the whole thing even more surreal. This isn’t leadership. It’s performative authority, taxpayer-funded self-indulgence, and a reminder of what happens when people mistake proximity to power for competence.
