1
00:00:00,240 –> 00:00:05,719
Speaker 1: United States of America USA President elect Donald Trump says

2
00:00:06,080 –> 00:00:09,480
his nominee for the job of Federal Borough of Investigation

3
00:00:10,240 –> 00:00:14,279
FBI director, cash Matel, is the most qualified person to

4
00:00:14,359 –> 00:00:18,440
leave the agency in its history, saying cash Matel will

5
00:00:18,440 –> 00:00:21,640
restore law and other alleged being lost under the leadership

6
00:00:21,679 –> 00:00:25,359
of Christopher Ray, who promised to resign as FBI director

7
00:00:25,440 –> 00:00:29,960
at the end of President Joe Baldentennio. Donald Trump started

8
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:33,479
this on Thursday across his social media handles in reaction

9
00:00:33,640 –> 00:00:37,159
to the promised resignation of Christopher Ray. On Wednesday, at

10
00:00:37,200 –> 00:00:41,799
a town hall meeting with FBI employees, Rotas had reported

11
00:00:41,880 –> 00:00:46,280
that ray resignation mets him the second strat FBI director

12
00:00:46,399 –> 00:00:49,719
driven out by Trump called during his first term in

13
00:00:49,840 –> 00:00:54,359
office fire at race predecessor Jens Komi after saran on

14
00:00:54,439 –> 00:00:59,159
him over the FBI’s investigations into alleged contacts between Trump’s

15
00:00:59,159 –> 00:01:03,359
twenty sixteen campaign and Russia. That’s part one of two

16
00:01:03,479 –> 00:01:07,719
federal prosecutions Trong first while out of power, neither of

17
00:01:07,760 –> 00:01:12,239
which went to trial. Trop denied wrongdoing and described all

18
00:01:12,239 –> 00:01:17,799
the cases against him as politically motivated. Federal prosecutors ended

19
00:01:17,840 –> 00:01:22,840
their efforts after his election, citing longstanding Justice Department policy

20
00:01:22,959 –> 00:01:27,959
not to prosecute a certain president. FBI directors are appointed

21
00:01:28,000 –> 00:01:31,719
for ten year terms, a measurement to avoid the appearance

22
00:01:31,760 –> 00:01:35,280
of partizanship after political tonoba in the White House every

23
00:01:35,319 –> 00:01:39,439
four years. Race term was not due to expire until

24
00:01:39,480 –> 00:01:43,680
twenty twenty seven. Throughout his term, Ray said that his

25
00:01:43,879 –> 00:01:45,799
trophed to impartially carry.

26
00:01:45,439 –> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: Out the FBI’s duties.

27
00:01:47,959 –> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: During a twenty twenty three hearing before a House of

28
00:01:51,040 –> 00:01:54,519
Representatives panel, he rebolt the idea that he was postially

29
00:01:54,599 –> 00:01:58,200
a democratic partisan agenda, noting that he had been a

30
00:01:58,239 –> 00:01:59,439
lifelong Republican.

31
00:02:00,280 –> 00:02:02,439
Speaker 2: The idea that I am byassed.

32
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: Against conservatives seemed somewhat insent to me given my own

33
00:02:06,159 –> 00:02:11,360
personal background, Ray said, wrote A’s International News Agency report

34
00:02:11,520 –> 00:02:15,759
ends in. Ray’s decision to resign came two this after

35
00:02:15,879 –> 00:02:19,120
a key Senate Republican called for his departure and following

36
00:02:19,199 –> 00:02:23,800
a sturdy drumbit of support for President elect Donald Trump’s replacement.

37
00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:24,439
Speaker 2: Cash Patil.

38
00:02:24,879 –> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: According to multiple media outlets, Trump appointed Ray in twenty

39
00:02:29,719 –> 00:02:33,479
seventeen during his first term, but he became a constant

40
00:02:33,520 –> 00:02:37,520
target of criticism because of investigations on the former president

41
00:02:37,639 –> 00:02:41,360
now President elect, over Russian interference in the twenty sixteen

42
00:02:41,439 –> 00:02:45,520
election and classified documents recovered in an FBI search of

43
00:02:45,639 –> 00:02:50,000
my a Lago. Ray told FBI employees in a town

44
00:02:50,080 –> 00:02:53,560
hall meeting that, in my view, this is the best

45
00:02:53,599 –> 00:02:56,599
way to avoid drugging the bureau deeper into the FRAY

46
00:02:57,080 –> 00:03:00,800
while reinforcing the values and principles that as so important

47
00:03:00,840 –> 00:03:04,639
to how we do our work. Local observers said that

48
00:03:04,719 –> 00:03:07,840
Trump and his hardline allies turned on Ray and the

49
00:03:08,039 –> 00:03:12,400
FBI more generally after agents conducted a court approved search

50
00:03:12,479 –> 00:03:15,719
of Trump’s Florida results in twenty twenty two to recover

51
00:03:15,840 –> 00:03:21,120
classified documents he had returned after leaving office. Trump described

52
00:03:21,159 –> 00:03:26,479
the resignation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI director

53
00:03:26,560 –> 00:03:30,520
Christopher Ray as a great day for America, claiming it

54
00:03:30,639 –> 00:03:34,159
marks the end of what he termed the weaponization of

55
00:03:34,240 –> 00:03:38,919
the United States Department of Injustice. In a statement posted

56
00:03:38,960 –> 00:03:42,520
on his ex handle on Thursday, Trump accused Ray of

57
00:03:42,599 –> 00:03:45,719
overseeing actions that on the mind his presidency and the

58
00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:50,680
nation’s future. Trump said, under the leadership of Christopher, they

59
00:03:50,719 –> 00:03:54,000
have used their vast powers to threaten and destroy many

60
00:03:54,039 –> 00:03:57,520
innocent Americans, some of which will never be able to

61
00:03:57,560 –> 00:04:00,960
recover from what has been done to them. In quote,

62
00:04:01,360 –> 00:04:04,960
Trump said, the resignation of CHRISTOPHI. Ray is a great

63
00:04:05,039 –> 00:04:08,039
day for America, as it will end the weaponization of

64
00:04:08,080 –> 00:04:12,719
what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice.

65
00:04:12,800 –> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: I just don’t know what happened to him.

66
00:04:15,560 –> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: We will now restore the role of law for all

67
00:04:18,199 –> 00:04:24,120
Americans under the leadership of Christophiray. The FBI illegally rendered

68
00:04:24,199 –> 00:04:29,040
my home without cause, worked diligently on illegually impitching and

69
00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:33,000
inlightened me, and has done everything else to interfere with

70
00:04:33,079 –> 00:04:37,000
the success and future of America. They have used their

71
00:04:37,079 –> 00:04:41,199
vast powers to threaten and destroy many innocent Americans, some

72
00:04:41,439 –> 00:04:43,920
of which will never be able to recover from what

73
00:04:44,079 –> 00:04:47,360
has been done to them. Clash Curtail is the most

74
00:04:47,439 –> 00:04:51,199
qualified nominie to lead the FBI in the agency’s history,

75
00:04:51,639 –> 00:04:55,439
and is committed to helping ensure that law, order, and

76
00:04:55,759 –> 00:04:58,680
justice will be brought back to our country again. And

77
00:04:58,879 –> 00:05:03,279
so as everyone knows, I have great respect for the

78
00:05:03,399 –> 00:05:06,720
rank and file of the FBI, and they have great

79
00:05:06,759 –> 00:05:10,560
respect for me. They want to see these changes every

80
00:05:10,639 –> 00:05:14,480
bit as much as I do. Bot More Importantly, the

81
00:05:14,560 –> 00:05:19,680
American people are demanding a strong but fair system of justice.

82
00:05:20,240 –> 00:05:23,879
We want our FBI back, and that will now happen.

83
00:05:24,680 –> 00:05:28,399
I look forward to Cash Patel’s confirmation so that the

84
00:05:28,439 –> 00:05:31,800
process of making the FBI great again can be gained.

85
00:05:32,639 –> 00:05:37,240
Thank you, Donald Trump, said Cash Patel. Trump’s plait to

86
00:05:37,360 –> 00:05:41,120
leave the FBI in the next administration, has been meeting

87
00:05:41,199 –> 00:05:45,720
with Republican law makers the past week on Capitol Hill. Patel,

88
00:05:46,199 –> 00:05:49,519
who has served as the Defense Secretary’s chief of Staff

89
00:05:49,560 –> 00:05:53,639
and Senior Advisor to the National Security Council, was chosen

90
00:05:53,680 –> 00:05:56,800
for his stated goals of reforming the borough following years

91
00:05:56,839 –> 00:06:01,959
of the rodent public trust. In twenty twenty, NBC News

92
00:06:01,959 –> 00:06:05,319
cited a poem that found the public’s positive view of

93
00:06:05,360 –> 00:06:10,639
the FBI has eroded fifteen percent since twenty eighteen. On Monday,

94
00:06:11,079 –> 00:06:16,199
in Command, Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley Rrow, Iowa wrote

95
00:06:16,240 –> 00:06:20,160
an eleven page letter to Ray, encouraging Ray to stemp

96
00:06:20,160 –> 00:06:23,600
aside and move on to the next chapter in your.

97
00:06:23,439 –> 00:06:25,959
Speaker 2: Life, adding, I therefore.

98
00:06:25,600 –> 00:06:28,879
Speaker 1: Most express my vote of no confidence in your continued

99
00:06:28,959 –> 00:06:34,000
leadership of the FBI. Although he was originally appointed by Trump,

100
00:06:34,519 –> 00:06:37,560
Ray fell out of favor with the President elect during

101
00:06:37,600 –> 00:06:41,920
the Biden administration following his perceived weaponization of the Borough

102
00:06:42,000 –> 00:06:45,199
and the red on My a Lago. Ras Nell has

103
00:06:45,240 –> 00:06:49,000
been mentioned among those Biden may offer a preemptive pardon,

104
00:06:49,439 –> 00:06:53,879
according to local media in the North America country, Patel,

105
00:06:54,319 –> 00:06:56,959
who would need to be confirmed by the US Senate,

106
00:06:57,480 –> 00:07:01,000
has never want the FBI and only spent three years

107
00:07:01,000 –> 00:07:04,079
at the Justice Departments earlier in his career in the

108
00:07:04,160 –> 00:07:09,879
National Security Division’s Contact Roorism section. If confirmed, he has

109
00:07:09,959 –> 00:07:13,959
pledged to shut down the FBIS headquarters building in Washington

110
00:07:14,079 –> 00:07:18,560
and drastically redefine the burying’s role with intelligence gathering. According

111
00:07:18,560 –> 00:07:22,160
to International News Agency’s reports.

112
00:07:21,680 –> 00:07:25,319
Speaker 3: After weeks of careful thought, I’ve decided the right thing

113
00:07:25,560 –> 00:07:28,319
for the Bureau is for me to serve until the

114
00:07:28,439 –> 00:07:32,920
end of the current administration in January and then step down.

115
00:07:34,199 –> 00:07:37,319
My goal is to keep the focus on our mission,

116
00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:41,360
on the indispensable work each of you is doing every

117
00:07:41,439 –> 00:07:46,279
single day, and my view, this is the best way

118
00:07:46,360 –> 00:07:50,399
to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray while

119
00:07:50,480 –> 00:07:56,040
reinforcing the values and principles that are so important in

120
00:07:56,079 –> 00:08:01,639
how we are working. I should go without saying but

121
00:08:01,639 –> 00:08:03,160
I’m gonna go ahead and say it anyways.

122
00:08:04,199 –> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: This is not easy for me.

123
00:08:07,240 –> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: I love this place, I love our mission, I love

124
00:08:11,040 –> 00:08:15,680
our people. But my focus is and always has been,

125
00:08:15,879 –> 00:08:19,319
on us and on doing what’s right for the FBI,

126
00:08:20,079 –> 00:08:23,160
because when you look at where the threats are headed,

127
00:08:23,800 –> 00:08:27,600
it is clear that the importance of our work protecting

128
00:08:27,600 –> 00:08:31,600
the American people and upholding the Constitution will not change.

129
00:08:32,320 –> 00:08:37,360
And what absolutely positively cannot must not change is our

130
00:08:37,440 –> 00:08:40,759
commitment to doing the right thing in the right way

131
00:08:41,399 –> 00:08:46,480
every time. Our adherence to our core values, our dedication

132
00:08:46,600 –> 00:08:51,600
to independence and objectivity, and our defense of the rule

133
00:08:51,639 –> 00:08:57,120
of law. Those fundamental aspects of who we are must

134
00:08:57,240 –> 00:09:01,240
never change. That’s the real rank of the FBI, the

135
00:09:01,279 –> 00:09:05,559
importance of our mission, the quality of our people, and

136
00:09:05,639 –> 00:09:13,000
their dedication to service over It’s an unshakable foundation that

137
00:09:13,080 –> 00:09:16,960
has stood the test of time and cannot be easily moved.

138
00:09:17,080 –> 00:09:20,840
And it you, the men and women of the FBI,

139
00:09:21,120 –> 00:09:26,679
are why the Bureau will endure and remain successful long

140
00:09:26,879 –> 00:09:28,000
long into the future.
