00:00Now, before I close, I want to warn the American people who are watching at home.

00:05You may hear lies and smears in this hearing that will challenge my loyalty to and my love

00:10for our country.

00:12Those who oppose my nomination imply that I am loyal to something or someone other than

00:18God, my own conscience, and the Constitution of the United States.

00:24Accusing me of being Trump's puppet, Putin's puppet, Assad's puppet, a guru's puppet,

00:29Modi's puppet, not recognizing the absurdity of simultaneously being the puppet of five

00:36different puppet masters.

00:39The same tactic was used against President Trump and failed.

00:43The American people elected President Trump with a decisive victory and mandate for change.

00:49The fact is, what truly unsettles my political opponents is I refuse to be their puppet.

00:57I have no love for Assad or Gaddafi or any dictator.

01:01I just hate al Qaeda.

01:03I hate that we have leaders who cozy up to Islamist extremists, minimizing them to so-called

01:09rebels.

01:10As Jake Sullivan said to Hillary Clinton, quote, al Qaeda is on our side in Syria.

01:16Well, Syria is now controlled by an al Qaeda offshoot, HTS, led by an Islamist jihadist

01:23who danced in the streets on 9-11 and who was responsible for the killing of many American

01:28service members.

01:32Democrat senators in the past resorted to anti-Christian bigotry against some of President

01:37Trump's judicial nominees like Amy Coney Barrett and Brian Boucher.

01:41I condemn those actions as a Democrat in Congress at the time, as religious bigotry must be

01:46thoroughly condemned by all of us, no matter the religion.

01:52Unfortunately, there are some Democrat senators who still don't understand the principle of

01:56freedom of religion and Article 6 of the Constitution, quote, no religious test shall ever be required

02:03as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

02:08Unfortunately, they're once again using the religious bigotry card, but this time trying

02:13to foment religious bigotry against Hindus and Hinduism.

02:18If anyone is sincerely interested in knowing more about my own personal spiritual path

02:24of Hinduism, I welcome you to go to my account on X, where I'll share more on this topic.

02:31If confirmed as Director of National Intelligence, I will continue to live by the oath that I

02:36have sworn at least eight times in my life, both in uniform and as a member of Congress.

02:44I will support and defend our God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution of the United

02:49States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and I will bear true faith and allegiance

02:56to the same.

02:57Thank you very much for your time.

02:59I look forward to your questions.
