Kash Patel destroyed the Democrats with a powerful opening statement.

“Under this administration, the FBI has arrested more than 23,000 violent criminals, 23,000 in seven months. That’s twice as many year to date last year. We’ve taken over 6,000 firearms off the streets. 6,000 guns are no longer in the hands of criminals in seven months. We’ve identified and found and located 4,700 child victims,” Kash Patel said.

“That is a 35% increase year to date last year. We have arrested 1,500 child predators. That is a 10% increase. Year to date last year in just seven months. We’ve assisted our partners with countless counterterrorism operations around the world,” he said.
