Webster gave special attention to Kash Patel, whom he believes is clearly unqualified to be FBI director.

Lara Trump also said that all of her father-in-law's Cabinet picks were militants.
“They all have some level of clarity, and I think they all understand the vision that Donald Trump has for this country. There are also people who are less likely to be, right?'' she added during the appearance. Breitbart News Daily.
