Summary
In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, FBI Director Kash Patel and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., clashed in a heated Senate hearing Tuesday, trading personal accusations over allegations of misconduct and a past overseas trip. The exchange escalated from questions about Patel’s leadership into a direct confrontation, with Van Hollen citing allegations reported in The Atlantic and Patel responding by accusing the senator of misconduct during a 2025 visit to El Salvador — a claim Van Hollen denied. Also a former Black Lives Matter activist reports his own platform was a scam, Dems are willing to elect someone without a Nazi tattoo and the "boy band" evolution.
