I suppose next week we'll find out that Patel wants to partner with Tom Cruise and Daniel Craig so they can learn how to be better agents.


FBI Director Kash Patel wants to bring the UFC to the FBI, sources say
Newly-installed FBI Director Kash Patel has proposed enhancing the FBI with help from the Ultimate Fighting Championship, say sources who were told of the proposal.
On a teleconference Wednesday with the heads of the FBI's 55 field offices, Patel suggested that he wants the FBI to establish a formal relationship with the UFC, which could develop programs for agents to improve their physical fitness, said sources who had been briefed on Wednesday's call.
The virtual meeting with each field office's special-agent-in-charge has long been a weekly occurrence, but this week's call was the first led by Patel, who was sworn in as director on Friday.

Within hours of Wednesday's call, word of Patel's UFC proposal spread to current and former FBI officials around the country.
"If they're trying to up their physical fitness, the UFC is very specific in their fitness," said ABC News contributor Rich Frankel, the former special agent in charge of the FBI's Newark, New Jersey, office.
It's not clear exactly what Patel would want UFC to do or provide to help improve fitness among FBI ranks.
I suppose next week we'll find out that Patel wants to partner with Tom Cruise and Daniel Craig so they can learn how to be better agents.
