00:00We have a sufficient number of people to start.

00:06Mr. Patel should be considered our next FBI director because the FBI has been infected

00:14by political bias and weaponized against the American people.

00:21Mr. Patel knows it, Mr. Patel exposed it, and Mr. Patel has targeted for it.

00:31And I've got plenty of examples to show what's wrong with the FBI.

00:37And why President Trump chose to nominate Kash Patel.

00:43The American people are sick and tired of two tiers of access, two tiers of treatment,

00:50and two tiers of justice.

00:52And during the Biden years, this was writ large in the actions of the DOJ and the FBI.

01:02We have all seen it.

01:04And while my colleagues may be upset for today, I think it's important to note that they sat

01:13silently while you had parents and people of faith, and so many that were being confronted.

01:26And this happened over and over and over.

01:31What it boils down to is this agency should be above politics.

01:36What we've just heard from the chairman is an invitation for a political free-for-all

01:41if Kash Patel is chosen as the head of this FBI.

01:47He showed his enemies list and said, the manhunt starts tomorrow.

01:54If they're not your enemies, why would you start a manhunt against them?

01:58He called them the criminals themselves and showed a picture of his enemies list.

02:05If criminals aren't your enemies, as head of the FBI, who are?

02:11The next director's loyalty must be to the people and not the president.

02:17And even if someone was to put in someone who is their friend, which has happened in

02:21these jobs in the past, why would you pick this person who has repeatedly maligned the

02:28agents that work at the FBI?

02:31Why would you pick someone who in the last year decided to make money off of hocking

02:35a supplement that he claimed would reverse the effects of the COVID vaccine?

02:42Why would you put someone in place that thinks it's fun to say you should close down the

02:46headquarters and has put together a list of people that he hates, that he says he wants

02:51to take revenge on?

02:53Why would you pick that person?

02:57Mr. Schiff.

02:58Yeah.

02:59Senator Mingraski.

03:02Aye.

03:04On this vote, the ayes are 12, the nays are 10.

03:08The vote of 12 to 10, the nomination will be favorably reported to the floor.
