CAIN OK I want ░░░░░░░░ move to this FBI ░░░░░░░░ nominee Kash Patel He ░░░░░░░░ advanced through committee and ░░░░░░░░ has gained key support ░░░░░░░░ another GOP senator That ░░░░░░░░ Bill Cassidy of Louisiana ░░░░░░░░ have and I think ░░░░░░░░ it should be pointed ░░░░░░░░ here you have ushered ░░░░░░░░ cabinet nominations for President ░░░░░░░░ at a record pace ░░░░░░░░ have far outpaced I ░░░░░░░░ any presidency dating back ░░░░░░░░ Barack Obama in terms ░░░░░░░░ the number of nominees ░░░░░░░░ at this point in ░░░░░░░░ president s administration You ░░░░░░░░ managed to get all ░░░░░░░░ these through How has ░░░░░░░░ happened How have you ░░░░░░░░ every Republican on board ░░░░░░░░ people like Tulsi Gabbard ░░░░░░░░ that probably weren t ░░░░░░░░ ins to get across ░░░░░░░░ finish line THUNE In ░░░░░░░░ end it s always ░░░░░░░░ as you know a ░░░░░░░░ effort And we ve ░░░░░░░░ really good cooperation among ░░░░░░░░ colleagues for the most ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ the entire team in ░░░░░░░░ And Kash Patel is ░░░░░░░░ exception Tomorrow we ll ░░░░░░░░ to confirm him as ░░░░░░░░ of the FBI And ░░░░░░░░ will put us at ░░░░░░░░ level that goes you ░░░░░░░░ we haven t seen ░░░░░░░░ number of folks get ░░░░░░░░ in this short of ░░░░░░░░ time literally since 2001 ░░░░░░░░ it s been 25 ░░░░░░░░ through multiple different administrations ░░░░░░░░ again that s just ░░░░░░░░ it out That doesn ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats have been ░░░░░░░░ know they re using ░░░░░░░░ tactics everything they can ░░░░░░░░ slow it down and ░░░░░░░░ but we just keep ░░░░░░░░ down and that s ░░░░░░░░ it takes And in ░░░░░░░░ end I m very ░░░░░░░░ that the president s ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ place because again what ░░░░░░░░ want to see happen ░░░░░░░░ we want to be ░░░░░░░░ partners in helping him ░░░░░░░░ his agenda for the ░░░░░░░░ people And that starts ░░░░░░░░ having the right people ░░░░░░░░ the right places at ░░░░░░░░ right time And obviously ░░░░░░░░ day that goes by ░░░░░░░░ get another one or ░░░░░░░░ two confirmed He gets ░░░░░░░░ to that goal And ░░░░░░░░ again that s not ░░░░░░░░ good for Republicans in ░░░░░░░░ for the president of ░░░░░░░░ United States that s ░░░░░░░░ for this country because ░░░░░░░░ things that he campaigned ░░░░░░░░ are the things that ░░░░░░░░ people that he gets ░░░░░░░░ these key positions are ░░░░░░░░ to be working to ░░░░░░░░ day in and day ░░░░░░░░ CAIN What should we ░░░░░░░░ on the vote for ░░░░░░░░ Patel THUNE Well that ░░░░░░░░ happen tomorrow He ll ░░░░░░░░ confirmed and you know ░░░░░░░░ with a good strong ░░░░░░░░ I never you know ░░░░░░░░ or make any assertions ░░░░░░░░ respect to where our ░░░░░░░░ counts are but we ░░░░░░░░ some close ones obviously ░░░░░░░░ at the end of ░░░░░░░░ day we ve been ░░░░░░░░ to hold together and ░░░░░░░░ as a team And ░░░░░░░░ think largely that s ░░░░░░░░ to a belief that ░░░░░░░░ of our members hold ░░░░░░░░ if we re going ░░░░░░░░ be successful and get ░░░░░░░░ things done that we ░░░░░░░░ to get done for ░░░░░░░░ American people it starts ░░░░░░░░ getting the team on ░░░░░░░░ field And so we ░░░░░░░░ had good success with ░░░░░░░░ but we aren t ░░░░░░░░ yet and we re ░░░░░░░░ to continue to grind ░░░░░░░░ out notwithstanding the considerable ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats are trying ░░░░░░░░ put up CAIN OK ░░░░░░░░ ll be watching that ░░░░░░░░ the confirmation of Kash ░░░░░░░░
