Kash Patel's opening statement on the progress of the FBI is 🔥

BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel Testifies in House Judiciary Committee Hearing Following Bombshell Senate Report Revealing Biden’s FBI Targeted Conservative Organizations –
Opening Statement was FIRE
"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."
.
"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."
.
"We've captured at the FBI four of the most top 10 wanted fugitives in the world in seven months. To put that in perspective, that's as many as my predecessor nabbed in the entirety of the Biden administration. We got four, we got more coming. On top of that, in two weeks, thanks to the help of the CIA, we collected and captured one of the individuals responsible for the horrific Abbygate bombing that led to the murder of We did that in two weeks. They didn't do it in the four years of the entire prior administration."
.
"Nationwide, we've been executing our Operation Summer Heat, the FBI's national focus on targeting violent crime based on intelligence-driven operations. Ask the citizens of Seattle, Miami, Memphis, Charlotte, Chicago, New Orleans to specifically highlight New Orleans and Nashville. There has been a 250% increase in violent crime arrests in those cities alone and other mid-major cities that I've just listed. In just a few short months, we have already unleashed 1,000 FBI personnel across this country. Every single state across this country is getting a plus-up."
.
"This is a fiction that the FBI is short or that we are compromising the men and women in the field. They do not need to be in Washington, D.C., so we're sending them into the field to each and every one of your states."
.
"Because of that, crime is at an all-time low. We had to do it because of the explosion of crime. And maybe the most important stat for Americans to realize, in just seven months, we are on track to produce the lowest murder rate in modern U.S. history by double digits."
.
"Those are results not of mine, those are results of the men and women of the FBI. If you want to criticize me, bring it on, but do not attack the brave leaders in the field. We are also working 24/7, 365 on the opioid epidemic that is killing more than hundreds of thousands of people a year. We have seen 1600 kilograms of fentanyl off the streets so far in seven months. Year to date, 25% increase."
.
"To put that in perspective, that's enough to kill a third of the American population, 120 million Americans, 100,000 kilograms of cocaine and meth gone off the streets. Earlier this year, I highlighted in Cincinnati, Ohio, how we're getting creative to chase down those that were willing to do harm to our citizens. Not just by striking at the heart of the fentanyl producers, but the fentanyl precursor companies in China. And we indicted for the first time multiple companies and individuals, not just in America, but in mainland China, that are producing the ingredients that produce and make fentanyl that kill our children. And we are going to keep going."
