English transcript

So, the congressional oversight hearing you're about to listen to with Kash Patel, he's getting

grilled because Kash went and fired all of the top counterterrorism experts inside the

FBI.

These would be the people that specialized in Iran, and these are the people that would

have been advising the president on what a horrible, catastrophic disaster it was going

to be.

These would be the people that would be sounding the alarm that would be in oversight hearings

and in these group think tanks.

These would be the ones that would be telling everybody that it's a horrible idea, that

you're going to get our troops slaughtered if you send them into the meat grinder.

These are these experts that brief the directors.

These are the people that are actually doing the intelligence gathering and the research.

These are the absolute best experts in our government.

And that's not saying much just because they're in our government, right?

So, that being said, Kash Patel fired them.

Just like he fired the person right before the Charlie Kirk assassination, right?

It's kind of weird how Kash has been put into all these positions, and now we're finding

out that Kash Patel's private emails, or personal emails, private emails, were hacked

by Iran.

And there's videos, and there's websites, and there's allegedly all this crazy shit on there,

and these conspiracy theorists are going wild talking about Kash being a member of a Gooning

website.

If you don't know what Gooning is, Gooning is like prolonged periods of masturbation.

So it's where somebody sits there and they watch somebody masturbate for so long, and

they drool and their eyes are wide.

It's like that cross-eyed look for a Kash has.

It may or may not be from staring at a fucking Gooning website.

It's legit.

Allegedly.

Nothing's actually a fact.

It's probably just a conspiracy theory.

That's what the conspiracy theorists are saying.

Fucking wild, right?

So, check out this oversight hearing and let me know what you think.

How many days before we invaded Iran did you know we were going to launch an invasion?

We can get into those details in a classified setting, but I work with my colleagues across

the spectrum here to give me advance warning so that we can reinforce.

Was it two days?

Three days?

A month?

It was sometime before that, sir.

Sometime before that.

With that knowledge, why did you fire at least a dozen agents in counterintelligence unit

12 that specializes in Iran counterintelligence, which makes us much less secure and safe with

this war going on from Iranian attacks potentially against our country?

As I said earlier, Congressman, I don't work on timelines when these terminations occur.

They're internal investigations conducted by the careers at the FBI that highlight unethical

or inappropriate conduct, and it's up to me to make the decision, but our Iran Threats

Mission Center has never been more resourced, as I've highlighted, a 43 percent increase

in counterespionage arrests from Iran alone and 360 ongoing terrorism investigations with

Iran-affiliated individuals.

And the people you fired, those 12 people, they were experts on Iran, were they not?

I don't believe so.

They worked in counterintelligence, did they not?

I'm taking you at your word, sir.

I'm not familiar with every single word.

You're the chief director.

I'm not.

You should know the answer.

You fired the people.

Where did they work?

People were terminated for violating their ethical obligations and the high standards

that they have.

Was the ethical violations that they dealt with the case of the classified documents

that were found at the bathroom in Mar-a-Lago, was that the ethical issue?

As I said earlier, all those matters are pending litigation, so I'm not going to comment on

them.
