Kash Patel, an avowed foe of the Deep State, has been selected by Donald Trump to be FBI director. FBI whistleblower and show host Steve Friend has recommendations for Patel’s priorities once in office based on his own experience in the corrupted agency.
Friend was an FBI agent who took his oath to the Constitution seriously, and therefore found himself in the crosshairs of FBI leaders weaponizing the system against Jan. 6 protesters, parents at school board meetings, and other political dissidents. Now a best-selling author and podcast host, Friend described what he hopes to see Patel do as FBI director in exclusive comments to PJ Media.
“Director Patel should immediately dissolve the FBI case quota system and Intelligence Branch,” Friend told me. “These protocols have contributed to the bureau’s devolution into a politicized secret police force.”
Friend added, “He should also eliminate the FBI’s nine diversity advisory committees which operate outside the chain of command and revamp hiring practices to focus on merit.” DEI is poisonous, and it needs to be eradicated from our government. The Biden-Harris administration encouraged it, but the Trump administration can reverse that destructive trend.

Friend has previously explained why the quota system at the FBI is so pernicious. The system means that offices and agents are supposed to have a specific number of cases in various different categories, with promotions, etc. at stake. Unfortunately, the quota system incentivizes agents to entrap individuals, and even to create crimes that don’t exist, since it requires agents to meet arbitrary statistical goals. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
