This latest breaking that we're getting, Kash Patel was sworn in as FBI director.
00:14
He took oath on the Bhagavad-Gita. Donald Trump, US President, has praised
00:18
Kash Patel's appointment. Patel vows to restore trust in the FBI. Let's listen in
00:24
to what the US President said.
00:27
The agents are very happy about Kash. In fact, the agents led the charge for Kash.
00:32
One of the reasons I loved Kash and wanted to put him in is because of the
00:36
respect the agents had for him. I think he's going to be, I think he'll go down
00:39
as the best ever at that position. And it turned out he was very easy to get
00:45
approved. You know, I was not sure. He's a tough guy, strong guy. He has his opinions
00:50
and I wasn't sure. He turned out to be very, he went very smoothly. I don't know
00:54
if he's in the room now. He's going to be in the room very shortly. Where is he?
00:57
Oh, good. I'm saying the right thing.
00:58
I have to be careful. I can't speak too badly about him. I better be careful.
01:06
I will say this about Kash, and Howard understands this. One of the reasons that
01:13
I wanted him is because the agents love this guy and they respect this guy. And
01:18
this is what they wanted. And even somebody like Trey Gowdy, who's a very
01:24
good guy, but known as somewhat of a moderate person, he came out and he came
01:29
out with a statement that was so incredible. He said, Kash is an
01:32
incredible person. People don't realize it. When he said that, there was no doubt
01:36
left. It was really a big statement made by somebody that's respected and on the
01:41
moderate side. And I will tell you, I think Kash is going to go down as maybe
01:45
the best.
01:49
So that's the U.S. President Donald Trump praising Kash for his appointment,
01:52
citing FBI support. Patel was confirmed by the U.S. Senate with 51 to 49 votes.
01:58
Patel has vowed to restore trust in the FBI. He took oath as ninth director of the
02:02
Federal Bureau of Investigation. Placing his hand on the Bhagavad Gita, the oath
02:07
ceremony was administered by the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in the Indian
02:11
Treaty Room in the Eisenhower Executive Office building on the White House campus
02:15
in Washington. The U.S. President Donald Trump has praised Patel's appointment,
02:19
citing his support among FBI agents, saying one of the reasons he loves Kash is
02:23
that he wanted to put him in because of the respect the agents had for him.
