So they took us. We went to a nude beach.

And I fucking remember I drank like 10 of them, dude. And we drove home on the Autobahn. And I just remember like my head pounding and like I couldn't wait to get out of the car because I was so fucking jacked up. But anyhow, yeah, my first fucking intro to an energy drink was on a nude beach in fucking Hamburg, Germany. And I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep for like three fucking days and when i drink one of these first form fucking energy drinks uh it sort of reminds me of that because they're strong as fuck like i can only drink like half of the motherfucker yeah that's it right that's it right there yeah that's it that's exactly what the fuck

going to show me the video of ted cruz or i'm sorry um dude from kentucky yeah no this is holly baby oh oh holly gets oh bro no no paul or i saw a video last night of this and i think it was i think it was ran paul he really them up too yeah and was like why can't you just fucking say no dude like we're all we all know the answer is no why can't you say no finally he's like well no yeah right right right jesus we're so sick of the fucking bullshit anyway play around yeah this is holly man and he gets into it good he gets into it so let's dive into this a little bit um republicans the article reads republicans subjected attorney general merrick b garland to a four-hour grilling before the senate judiciary committee on wednesday a harbinger for the fights that loom ahead as a party targets the Justice Department in the months leading up to the 2024 election.

One by one, Republican senators accused Mr. Garland, testifying before Congress for the first time since appointing special counsels to investigate former President Donald J. Trump and President Biden of politicizing the department by aggressively investigating Republicans and conservatives activists while shielding Democrats. Right. They also rebuked Mr. Garland over a range of policy and law enforcement issues, including his response to the fentanyl and immigration crisis, as well as the court's decision in June to end the constitutional right to an abortion. But the most pointed exchange came in the final 20 minutes of the session when most of the panel's Democrats have left the room. He was left to a to field a volley of questions from Republicans

about his actions in the investigations involving Mr. Trump, as well as the inquiries into Mr. Biden and his son. Now, Hawley is referencing inquiries into Mr. Biden and his son. Now, Hawley is referencing an article that came out by The Washington Post. This headline reads, Showdown before the raid. FBI agents and prosecutors argued over Trump. This is an exclusive look at behind-the-scenes deliberations as both sides wrestled with a national security case that has potentially

far-reaching political consequences. Now, the part that he points out is how apparently, and this is from FBI whistleblowers, okay, it says, but two senior FBI officials who would be in charge of leading the search resisted the plan as too combative and proposed instead to seek Trump's permission to search his property, according to the four people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the sensitive investigation. And apparently, the ALJ's office stepped in and overruled them and said, do it anyway. Here is the video.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Attorney General Garland, you said in our last exchange that it's your practice to defer to FBI agents in the field when it comes to investigations, apprehensions of subjects. I was interested, given your answer to read in this morning's Washington Post, that the FBI is saying that you overruled them when it came to raiding ex-President Trump's personal residence. Washington Post reports this morning, showdown before the raid, that senior FBI officials who would be in charge of leading the search resisted doing so as too combative and proposed instead to seek Trump's permission to search his property. These field agents wanted to shutter the criminal investigation altogether

in early June, the Post reports, but they were overruled by Maine DOJ. So I guess in light of your earlier testimony just this morning, my question is, how often do you overrule FBI field agents for political purposes? I've skimmed that article. It is not, that's not an accurate reflection of what the article says, and I'm not able to comment on the investigation. My comment earlier was about tactics on the ground in particular cases. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You said it's not. I'm reading to you from the article.

Quote, senior FBI officials who would be in charge of leading the search resisted the plan as too combative and proposed instead to seek Trump's permission to seek his property according to four people who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive investigation end quote. Again I have to say I'm not able to describe the investigation I will say as a general matter and at a high level of generality, that in my experience, long experience as a prosecutor, there is often a robust discussion, and it's encouraged among investigators and prosecutors. Attorney General, my time is very— And it's made.

Yes, and you made the decision. I did. Right? You said you did. No, I'm sorry. What I said was I approved the decision. So you didn't make the decision to rate? I approved the decision to seek a search warrant after probable cause was found. Overruling the FBI agents who did not want to do so. Did you talk about this with the White House before?

The memorandum does not, that Washington Post article does not say what you're saying. I'm sorry. And I'm not able to describe this in any further detail. Well, I think given that, Mr. Chairman, I'll just ask that this entire article be entered into the record that objection and we can read for ourselves. Yeah He's fucking shut on it right now. Yeah, he looks scared he should be he should all these people should be scared all these people who bought all in on the Politicization of our own government against a certain segment of the population You should be fucking terrified. The reason you should be fucking terrified is because we've all woken up to the fact

that you've been using technology for the last fucking 10 years on social media to make us believe that there is a large population out there that is legitimately fucking insane with the shit that they believe is okay in society. You've silenced us and suppressed the people of common sense in America. And you've used your technology to elevate and use your tools to elevate the media, politicians, social media, and all of these other elements and tools

that you have at your disposal to elevate this narrative that you want us, the suppressed people, to believe to be the truth. And so now we have figured out that your fucking weapons are bullshit and nobody's afraid of them anymore. And so you should be very fucking afraid because we have woken up and we do understand what's happening and we are going to hold these people accountable. We are going to hold these people accountable. A lot of you guys out there listening, you don't have much experience with the legal system, but the legal system takes time.

And I believe that with people like Josh Hawley and fucking Cruz and fucking Eric Schmidt and all of these dudes who are out there, and you can say what you want about Cruz. I know he's been turd sometimes in the past too, but we've got some people up there fighting for the interest of the people. And I think there's enough of them and there will continue to be enough of them inserted into our government where eventually these people are going to be held accountable for crimes against humanity and conspiracy and treason in this country. And so they should be scared.

I can see why he's scared. And I was shaking. If I was him, I'd be nervous too, because what you did is the most anti-american shit that anybody's ever done and by the way let me dot my fucking sentence with this one uh i'm fucking tired of these motherfuckers saying i cannot comment on the blah blah blah right fuck all that bro i want full disclosure on all our fucking information and that's what we should all be demanding. We should all be demanding to know the fucking truth about what's actually going on.

Because according to Tucker Carlson, and you guys can decide what you think. I think Tucker tells the truth. Most of the time, sometimes he can get way biased. That's fine. But most of the shit he talks about is the light of truth that we need to fucking hear. And he showed, and other people have shown that our own three letter agencies have been literally heavily involved and destroying the fucking integrity of elections in other countries. And now the evidence appears that they have done so in our country. And those same people have protected the people who are on their political side of the platform while prosecuting everybody else. I never thought in the history of time that it was a possibility for patriotic Americans, something that we've all been proud to be for so long, would be labeled domestic terror threats to our own rogue fucking agencies in this country.

That's fucked up. Insane. Think about that, bro. You fly a flag. You say, I love this country. You fucking eat hot dogs on 4th of July. You're a fucking domestic terrorist. Oh, you don't like the Democrat agenda. You don't think that fucking the progressive agenda is the right one. You're a terrorist. That's what these fuckers did. Okay. So they should be fucking scared because like I've said for fucking years, the pendulum, when it swings back is going to swing back harshly. And we better, they better

hope that whoever the answer is that the people deemed to be the answer and fall behind and support isn't a fucking psychopath. That's literally, you're just going to kill everybody that disagrees with them because this is how tyrants come to power. The fucking political pendulum, so to speak, starts to swing. And then it swings back a little harder. It swings back a little harder. And it swings back a little harder. And right now the momentum is going towards the right.

And if we're not careful and we're not smart and we don't fucking monitor. And by the way, it's not Donald Trump. Y'all been lied to by the media to believe Donald Trump is fucking Hitler. When in reality, this is just a reasonable dude from the people who's doing what's best in the interest of this country. You may not like what he has to say. You may not like his table side manner. Fuck that. I don't care.

He's doing a fucking job and the shit gets results. And all you motherfuckers made more money. The economy was better. We were safer, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And he's not part of their shit. Okay. So if it goes past Trump, you know, everybody's labeled Trump, the tyrant. If it goes past Trump's towards somebody who's more extreme, because I'd be real, dude.

Like, let's just say you wanted someone more extreme. You put someone like me in there. I'd be fucking pedophiles would be in a wood chipper on national TV. Like real extreme shit would be happening. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying, because I think it's needed. I'm fucking tired of the criminal element. I'm tired of the violent criminal element.

I'm fucking tired. And I think people are too, bro. People in America want the fucking American dream. They want to be left the fuck alone by their government. They don't want to pay the majority in taxes. They don't want to be a fucking hounded and observed in a 24 hour surveillance state. They don't want your fucking government's hands and all their shit. They don't want to be divided by the media all fucking day long. They don't want to be told they're fucking racist. They don't want to be told all this shit. We're tired of it, dude. And it's everybody that's

tired of it. And so this is the way that these motherfuckers have got the pendulum going and i truly hope that for everybody's sake that we don't end up with someone who is like super radical because it's dangerous there's there's a lot of radical people that have more radical thoughts than what i fucking have i think my shit's common sense right i'm not right or left, bro. I'm extreme freedom. I am fucking personal autonomy, personal responsibility, equal opportunity,

not equal result. I'm low tax. You know, I believe in a lot of shit that these motherfuckers on the right don't believe and you guys throw me in with them all the time, but I ain't fucking in there. I'm pro freedom. Okay?

And if we end up that pendulum swinging all the way fucking back these people are totally fucked and a lot of people are so i do and it's not trump like they keep trying to say oh it's trump trump is fucking hitler blah no bro you don't even fucking know you don't even fucking know in fact in a lot of ways donald trump should be more extreme with some of the shit that he does to clean this fucker up that's real talk like he should be going in there if he were to win presidency and sign an executive orders on fucking day one to fix a ton of this bullshit that's happening which i you know by all the polls it seems like that's that's what likely to happen yeah and that's why i truly believe I put putting a lot of thought in this.

I truly believe that. They're not going to allow that 24 election to happen or they're going to somehow like just like what they did with COVID, where they heavily fucked with it. They're going to have a war going on. They're going to have a fucking pandemic going on at the same time. They're going to create a tremendous amount of mass chaos and you know i i believe that's what they're going to do there's no fucking way they're allowing us to go into 24 with some with like it's just going to be because their lives are on the line that's right their lives are on the line and they're all in and people have to understand that like they if your

enemy is winning if they have the mindset of win no matter what because their lives are on the line they're gonna play a dirty fucking game yeah it means no matter what i don't know bro i you know the only issue that i have like i love these hearings and i i love seeing these guys get grilled i love you know like yo roth when he was fucking damn near in tears i love seeing that stuff but it's just like my question is like and i guess more importantly i guess to our listeners and to people who are listening it's like that's that's not like the conviction that's not the the the fix i didn't fix anything we have to call for the accountability there has to be accountability or they're keep doing it yeah so it's like you know

all that stuff is great and like listen holly i love you you know i'm saying but and like he's just exposing within his capacity what he can fucking expose yeah and maricola walks right out of there doesn't give two fucks goes right back to doing the same that's right we have to call for the shit that's right you know so that that's my Goes right back to doing the same bullshit. We have to call for the shit. That's right. That goes back to what I was saying in the last point. You guys on the front lines of these agencies and shit, you need to stand the fuck up for everybody. Yeah. Well, and that was

something interesting too, man, because we talked about that. That was something I thought was interesting with this is like, you know, you got these senior FBI guys who are going to be on the field actually executing the search warrant saying like, yeah, we don don't want to do that you know we think there's another way to you know a better solution for this but then here garland's office is coming in and saying i'll do it anyway okay well we'll just do it right into what i was saying dude we

can't have it you can't have it can't have Dude, it's frustrating, man. Like, it's very, very, very frustrating. Like, I don't think people truly realize how close we are to being in a situation with zero control and people having absolute power over us. And it does seem like the pendulum is swinging back the other way, but that could easily just go right back the other way too, because we're not, people aren't locked in enough. There's not enough people speaking up. There's not enough people engaged. You know,

there are we better than we were last year or the year before? Yeah, but it's still not enough. And, um, it, it's a dangerous situation, dude,

because like when you back these people into a corner and they know that they're guilty of all this fucking shit and they have the ability while they're in the corner to fucking flip the game board over and say, fuck this, fuck everybody, because that's what, that's the situation we're in right now. These people hold the power to flip the board over of our fucking entire country cause mass chaos to avoid accountability and their choices are either do that or get caught and be held accountable what do you think they're going to do that's why i think you guys need to understand like the chaotic times have not passed they are coming i haven't even started i i tend to think that yeah guys tell us what you guys think on this man let us know

down in the comments and uh that being said it's time for our favorites i hope i'm wrong i hope i'm wrong dude i hope i hope that i hope that the integrity of our country is still intact we've just been dealing with you know uh people not paying attention and there's people that elected that, you know, wouldn't have been elected had everybody been paid. I hope that's the truth, but I don't think that's the truth. That's not the evidence that I see. No. I think these people are corrupt.

I think these people have fucked us intentionally. I think they're going to continue to do so. And I think they're cornered now, which makes them extremely dangerous. Yeah. Well, guys, tell us what you guys think. Let's hear them down in the comments. And with that being said, it's time for our favorite segment of the show.

As always, we have thumbs up or dumb as fuck. This is where we show a hell on gods. We get one of those two options. And with that being said, our thumbs up headline reads, Frisbee dog drops deuce on basketball court and crowd goes wild. One person suggested the dog might be commenting on the University of Louisville's men's

four to 26 record this season. So a dog who was supposed to entertain the crowd by catching Frisbees at Tuesday night's men's basketball game between the University of Louisville and Virginia Tech, earned his pay, but not in the intended manner. That's because the crowd didn't cheer on the dog for catching Frisbees, but for dropping a deuce on the floor of Louisville's KFC Yum Center, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. To be fair, it didn't poop until the end of the performance,

so perhaps it was intended as an encore. One person suggested that the dog might be commenting on the University of Louisville's men's performance this season. The team currently holds a 4-26 record under new head coach Kenny Payne. And, of course, there is a video. So here we go. Let's do it. Oh.

Dude, that was a pretty decent size. That was a pretty decent size. That was a pretty decent size. The owner picks him up mid poop. Yeah. He didn't even finish it. I would have let it finish. Dude, that dog didn't know no better. That made me feel bad.

Oh man. Dude, he was just excited dude sometimes you gotta go like right now i gotta go real bad i hate about the shit in my chair just mention oh man you know i got a soft spot for dogs dude that's just i'm embarrassed for that little guy hey he had to do what he had to do that's all right it's all right i'm saying what are you gonna give that andy i'll give it a thumbs up just because it's a dog he gets the benefit of the doubt yeah i'm with it man yeah dogs can't do no wrong no you know no well guys andy that's all i got guys that's all i got too uh if you enjoyed the show if it brought you value if it if it changed your perspective it gave you something to show, if it brought you value, if it, if it changed your perspective, it gave you something to think about. If it's important for you, you know, people to hear, please share the show.

Um, I appreciate you guys. Appreciate you guys that do share the show regularly. And, uh, you know, let's get this one out there. Fuck a bowl, fuck a stole Counted millions in a cold Bad bitch, booted swole Got her on bankroll Can't fold, just a note Headshot, case closed
