Last week, Kash Patel was confirmed as the FBI director by a Senate majority despite being one of President Trump's most controversial candidates.
But that wasn't easy. In fact, it was a tough process with tons of patience and strategy.
Perhaps not Patel himself, anyone knows this better than Clint Brown, the president of American Pass, who played an integral role in the verification process.
Recently, Brown joined “Blaze News Tonight” host Jill Savage, Prime Minister Matthew Peterson's Blaze News Editor, and Christopher Bedford, senior political editor at Blaze News, explaining the hoops Patel had to jump over. Exclusive interviews and orders to be confirmed.

“What's the story here? I mean, we were from [Patel’s confirmation] It is impossible for it to become a “symbol of a period of total unanimous success and overwhelming confirmation,” Peterson said.
“There are two powers here,” Brown said.
One: “Americans are behind [President Trump]. “They no longer accept that “the deep state that comes after him, and Kash Patel is a symbol of fighting the deep nation.”
2: “It's the new Senate. There's a new leadership in the Senate. They've enacted some reforms as organizations, because of how they're trying to do business.”
“The Senate has caught up with this country. It's incredible. They realize there's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Donald Trump,” Brown added.
But combined with those forces there was an indomitable commitment to seeing Kash Patel's process.
“We had to find every media clip that Kash had done so far and report it to the Senate Judiciary Committee,” Brown said, “We unearthed 1,600 clips in a few days. “He said.
Furthermore, “We held 61 Senate meetings in a few weeks.” At Christmas alone, “We held 40 meetings in two weeks. We are running on jet fuel.”
These meetings “had a huge impact” in that they created “early momentum” and ultimately changed their minds, he said.
“Did you move forward with those meetings? There, people who might be a “no” vote, have they become “yes” votes? ” asked Bedford.
“Absolutely,” Brown said.
“All Republicans, even those who were skeptical, had an open mind for those forces. They didn't want to be on the wrong side of Americans about this.” Of course, The Democrats “were not open to their hearts,” he explained.
Thankfully, in the end, Patel gained enough support to confirm.
But that doesn't mean that it's a smooth voyage from here.
“This fight isn't over, so what will happen in the future?” Jill asked.
To hear Brown is sure Patel will continue his victory against the deep state, take a look at the clip above.
