Part 2/10:
Cash Patel's day follows a regimented path. He brews a morning coffee while monitoring his Border Patrol app—an indication of the serious responsibilities he bears in overseeing immigration control. Skipping the shower, he dons his tie and heads to work, indulging in a sensible donut and an engaging police scanner session.
At 6:00 AM, he arrives at the Hoover Building, the iconic headquarters of the FBI. His morning routine is unorthodox, checking under desks for workers in distress, leading to a darkly humorous moment where any sign of tears results in immediate repercussions. A lunch of leftover chicken marsala at noon fuel his afternoon activities, which include a call to Congressman Adam Schiff to play a rather juvenile prank with a ticking clock recording.
