Man oh man, there has been so much today and I truly don't know where to start. So I'm just going to make sure that we start off with a few facts. So a couple of facts that we need to make clear for everyone is that number one, Director Christopher Wray, when he was appointed to be the head of the FBI, was appointed by Donald Trump. Now, I will agree that I definitely take issue with a number of decisions that Donald Trump makes, especially when it comes to the

0:30

people that he decides to appoint to very important positions, including this one, because I did have to make sure that I wasn't going crazy, but when I say that you are the least qualified FBI director in the history of the FBI. That is real because you are the only one that never even served with the FBI prior to joining, yet we are supposed to believe that you were the greatest thing since sliced bread I didn't ask you a question. Now what I want to go through

0:59

is to talk about why you are a failure and why honestly we just need to tell I know that you got a little upset and you put on your show for your boss Senator Booker yesterday, but let's go through some of your failures. So before you were even confirmed and I think one of my colleagues, my colleague from Georgia, pointed out that you are already targeting career officials so when people sit around and say things like, oh you know we're happy because now

1:52

we feel safe, I don't know who feels safe in this country except for the white that multiple colleagues on this side of the aisle have faced death threats. In fact, somebody tried to kill one of my colleagues, and frankly, I don't know if this FBI or under your leadership, if those people would have been caught. I don't have any confidence in you.

2:29

And if we start talking about the reasons that I lack confidence, we can start with you not just wanting to acknowledge some simple facts. Simple facts like the vast majority of the threats are coming from right-wing extremism. And I know my colleagues have tried to stress this but I decided that I would maybe do it in a different way. Number one, I have a couple of UC's. Kim Buck, one of multiple Republicans

2:54

receiving death threats for voting against Jim Jordan as House Speaker. another one from another colleague who now is leaving Congress because they the extent that she ended up sleeping with a firearm. Without objection. Okay, so here's the deal. How are we supposed to have confidence when you're sitting up here telling the Senate yesterday that it will take you 14 years before you can get the FBI fully staffed to do their jobs.

3:44

You're getting rid of your most qualified people and even when it came down to somebody that the extent that you posted not only once erroneously, you posted twice erroneously as it relates to catching somebody and then you want to go and say, let me take a victory lap, because honestly, if it wasn't for parents even though he literally confessed online. except for trying to put on a show for

4:26

the apprentice or whatever you want to call him. The day after all of this took targeted yet I didn't hear anything from the FBI about what was going on and how did we end up in this? Because the numbers are so very clear that white supremacy is a problem. The one that is leading to children being killed,

as they're working, as they're worshipping in their churches.

5:10

If the gentleman would like to respond to any of that. Well, I mean, I'll respond. Kash Patel, as I said when I introduced him, public defender, former prosecutor, top staffer agency in our country. doing at getting the bad guys than the previous guy was doing. With that, I recognize the gentleman from South Carolina.

5:49

Director Patel, I think you're witnessing some auditions, from my Democratic colleagues. We'll see how they fare as they're on MSNBC later on today. But do you care, before I launch into my line of questioning, to respond to Ms. Crockett from Texas

6:08

on that very elaborate and theatric display? I don't give a damn what they say about me, as long as I'm succeeding in the mission. We're succeeding in the mission because the men and women of the FBI resources he's given us.

6:29

And so all I care about is that we are capturing more child predators than ever before, taking historic rate, and we're delivering this country the lowest murder rate in recorded history.

6:52

Thank you. Thank you director for that.
