Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, greeted his Indian Hindu parents with “Jai Shri Krishna” during his confirmation hearing. A former Department of Defense Chief of Staff and fervent Trump supporter, Patel faces tough questioning from Senate Democrats over his past criticisms of the FBI and his loyalty to the President. Critics argue Patel’s qualifications and his approach to FBI authority could lead to partisan retribution. As FBI Director, Patel would oversee 37,000 employees and multiple international offices.

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.
