00:00It means the world that you guys are here.
00:08Jai Srikrishna!
00:38I'd like to welcome my father, Pramod, and my mother, Anjana, who are sitting here today.
00:50They traveled here to get here from India.
00:53My sister is also here, Nisha.
00:55She also traversed the oceans just to be with me here today.
00:59It means the world that you guys are here.
01:01Jai Srikrishna!
01:02Jai Srikrishna!
01:32Jai Srikrishna!
02:02Jai Srikrishna!
02:07I wouldn't be here today without their guidance, their unwavering support, and their relentless
02:12love.
02:13When President Trump informed me of his intention to nominate me as the director of the FBI,
02:18I was deeply honored.
02:20Sitting here today, I carry not only the dreams of my parents, but also the hopes of millions
02:25of Americans who stand for justice, fairness, and the rule of law.
02:29My commitment to these principles is deeply rooted in my family's history, which has profoundly
02:33shaped my worldview.
02:36My father fled Idi Amin's genocidal dictatorship in Uganda, where 300,000 men, women, and children
02:43were killed based on their ethnicity just because they happened to look like me.
02:48My mother is originally from Tanzania.
02:51She studied in India, as did my dad, and they were married there.
02:54They would later emigrate to New York, as the Senator pointed out, where I was born,
02:58and we were raised in a household of my father's seven siblings, their spouses, and at least
03:04half a dozen children.
03:24Don't miss out.
