Keep in mind, we're talking about the leadership, not the guy down the block bravely serving and putting his ass on the line for all of us. We're talking about some of the Mark Milley types at the top who, you know, think it's a good idea to read Marxist propaganda into our military. But institutions are collapsing everywhere. It's not just our military and the FBI. It's our Department of Justice, ironically, that's supposed to prevent

the collapse of institutions by corruption. Does anyone else find that a little ironic? The entire purpose of the DOJ is blind justice to prevent corrupting of institutions. So kind of weird that the DOJ is now led by a corrupt, pathetic, weak buffoon named Merrick Garland, thank the Lord, and I'm not using his name in vain, this joker clown is not in fact on the Supreme Court, we probably cause as much damage, but here's the difference, he caused as much damage, what's the difference, there's no way to get rid of him then, you're stuck with them. Thankfully, we can vote in 2024. And one of the reasons to vote is not just to get Biden and his crew out of there, but it's to get this joker out of there. This guy is a national

disgrace. He was up on Capitol Hill yesterday, Araguino, attorney general and name only. This dude is reason alone to vote in 2024. Pathetic human being. Here is one of these, here's, not what, this may be the single dumbest law enforcement specific answer from an attorney general I've ever heard.

And believe me, I've heard some dumb answers on Fast and Furious from Eric Holder. I've heard some real stupidity. This may be the single dumbest thing you have ever heard from an attorney general. Garland has asked a very specific question about the failure to prosecute attacks on pro-life centers. Anything that happens at an abortion mill where they kill babies, you're thrown in jail right away. If you sneeze in front of an abortion clinic, you're going to jail if you're a conservative. But firebombings and pro-life centers, graffiti, attacks, intimidation, nobody seems to care. Merrick Garland's answer is so dumb,

it belongs in the hall of fame of idiocy. Listen to this. How do you explain this disparity by reference to anything other than politicization of what's happening there? The FACE Act applies equally to efforts to damage, blockade clinics, whether they are a pregnancy resource center or whether they are an abortion center. It applies equally in both cases, and we apply the law equally. I will say you are quite right. There are many more prosecutions with respect to the blocking of the abortion centers, but that is generally because those actions are taken with photography at the time during the daylight, and seeing the person who did it is quite easy. Those who are attacking the pregnancy resources centers, which is a horrid thing to do are doing this at night um in the dark we have put full resources on this

i can't wait do you uh so we're having a problem prosecuting crimes at pro-life center trying to rescue babies lives and save kids from having their lives terminated in the womb because they're happening at night? It's a problem, Dan. Joe, that sounds like a big problem. The inability of people to solve crimes

at night, where just a few happen, would be kind of an obstacle to me hiring them in the Department of Justice or FBI. It sounds like an issue to me. I mean, having worked these 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift as a police officer, I can personally vouch that. I know this is crazy, fellas.

Guy's got his head in his hand already because he can't believe it. A lot of crime happens at night. Why? Because it's harder to see people at night, so a lot of crimes happen at night. But the fact that crimes happen at night and it's harder to see people does not mean it's harder to collect things like DNA and it's harder to collect things like

footprint and fingerprint samples. So I would say an obstacle being night is kind of a big deal and you should maybe fire people and get more competent people in charge. Now, this largely went unnoticed, not in the conservative ecosystem, but by the media, that our attorney general is hilariously claiming, yeah, there's really not much we can do. Stuff happens at night there. So it's kind of like a big obstacle for us.

The Feds keep raising rates because it's the only tool they have to keep inflation under control. And here's a hint. It's not working. You've seen it globally and in the United States.

You've seen the impact on the stock market. So you need to protect and hedge yourself. Do it by owning gold like I do.

By the way, did you catch one more thing There's one more thing that happened in that clip. We'll get back to this night thing just in a second. Don't let that out of your head. Did you notice he slipped up on the approved leftist language?

Did you guys catch it? He called what the left prefers, you know, the abortion mills where they kill babies. The left, they prefer that you call them what, guys? Reproductive health centers. Yeah. Even though the goal is to not reproduce and to terminate life. Right. Do you notice he called them abortion centers?

Don't think for a second. He didn't get quite kind of a letter from one of these, you know, what lunatic left groups, sir. I appreciate in the future. If you would call them reproductive health centers guaranteed. I know the left.

Well, they didn't probably look cause he's dumb. He said it straight. Cause this guy left well. They didn't probably look, because he's dumb. He said it straight. This guy can't even talk. He's just, this guy really is. He's a social IQ idiot. Now, you may be saying to yourself, well, this is a one-off.

Slip of the tongue. We can't solve crimes at night, so that's why we let people bomb away at pro-life centers. No, it's not. This moron in Merrick Garland, again, a disgrace to the country on the global stage, an embarrassment,

an affront to the Constitution. He's used this excuse before. Had to have Greg Rhee who picked this gem out. Here's February 2021. Remember when Antifa and BLM terrorists were engaged in an insurrection in Portland trying to burn down a federal courthouse? An actual insurrection. Well, nothing happened there a federal courthouse, an actual insurrection.

Well, nothing happened there either. Merrick Garland was asked about it. And he said at the press conference, when asked by Senator Josh Hawley why nothing was happening, the attorney general nominee at the time said that because the riots occurred at night, and while the courthouse was not in operation, it was questionable they could be classified as domestic terrorism. You see how they all have these go-to talking points right away? And when Merrick Garland, who has no ability in a social exchange to handle himself comfortably at all, like he just said, how they resort back to comfort and his comfort zone is the same excuse he already had prepared. Well, crime happened at night, so there's nothing we can do.

Really? DNA, witness statements, footprints, fingerprints, phone tracking, surveillance. None of that stuff works at night. None of it at all. I'm just curious. Now, again, why your faith in our institutions like the DOJ collapsing? Ladies and gentlemen, there's no faith in institutions you don't have a country. That's why I started the show and asked you, does the Constitution matter anymore?

Because the Constitution, folks, for as much as I love the document, it is only a piece of paper. It is not living and breathing. It is a dead piece of parchment. That's all it is. You're insulting the Constitution. I'm not. I'm simply saying

to you that if there's not fidelity to it, that none of it matters. The Constitution should have protected the Japanese from internment in World War II. That didn't work either. Now we have a Constitution. Yeah, no kidding. Everybody ignored it.

You see what a point I'm making? Merrick Garland doesn't care about the Constitution. That's why institutions like the Department of Justice are entirely collapsing. This happened yesterday, too. Regardless of your feelings about Chuck Grassley, he's been around a while, Republican senator. Grassley's asked a question yesterday, Merrick Garland, about a potential blackmail file from overseas countries who may have information about payments to people here. Let me tell you something I know about Chuck Grassley and most importantly, his staff. Chuck Grassley and his staff have been all over the FBI and federal agencies for malfeasance for a long time. How do I know that? When I was in the Secret Service, someone told me that.

They said, be very careful of Grassley. He looks at everything. Not that anything was happening. I don't even know the context of how it came up. I think it was a liaison up on Capitol Hill. Grassley's been very concerned for a long time about law enforcement malfeasance. He is not asking this question by accident, folks. As we've said repeatedly, me and many others, not just me, somebody has a blackmail file clearly on the Biden Inc. family overseas, and everybody knows about it. Listen to this question. If the Justice Department received information that foreign persons had evidence of improper or unlawful financial payment paid to elected officials or other politically exposed persons, and those payments may have influenced policy decisions,

And those payments may have influenced policy decisions. Would that pose a national security concern and demand a full investigation? And when Ray was here agent of a foreign government asking someone and paying someone to do things to support that foreign government in secret. Yes, I definitely think that would be a national security problem. Folks, it was not an accident. That was not an accident. I would make the case to you strongly, even though there was a question mark at the end of that statement, that was not even a question by Grassley. Grassley is winking and nodding. He is sending out a signal. Foreign governments, it appears, clearly have a blackmail file on U.S. lawmakers. I would make the case strongly, based on a number of not just speculation,

that that blackmail file is on the Biden Inc. family and payments that were made from foreign governments to Biden Inc. to influence Joe Biden's opinion on foreign policy in Ukraine and elsewhere. Grassley's not just making that up. Now, how do I know that? Well, good, this is not just speculation. Good sources. Related to this question grasley then asks this question which is related to the other question he's like hey listen you know

outside of the whole blackmail file thing that may exist do you think this would be a problem and he gets garland on the record why is that important because later on when this goes public everyone's going to go back to the video i just played americ garland saying oh yeah that's important foreign governments having blackmail files influencing opinion and policy towards him so that he can't get a brilliant move by grasley and his crew brilliant he's now on the record right publicly now notice this question question which is really a statement. Hey, if there were a bunch of sources, you know, creating like paper trails to the DOJ,

would that be an issue too? You think this is a question too? Check this out. The Justice Department and the FBI had at one time over a dozen sources that provided potentially criminal information relating to Hunter Biden. The alleged volume and similarity of the information would demand that the Justice Department investigate the truth and accuracy of the information. According to what's accordingly, what steps has the Justice Department taken to determine the truth and accuracy of information provided? Congress and the American people, I think, have a right to know.

So as the committee well knows from my confirmation hearing, I promise to leave. I promised to leave the matter of Hunter Biden in the hands of the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, who was appointed in the previous administration. Okay, forget this sniveling buffoon's total dodge. He doesn't, forget it. I just do his response so that she could laugh. What's Grasley saying there? You respond better to a question than you will if I just tell you. What's he doing there? Any guess? Grasley knows that sources are feeding the DOJ and the FBI information about Biden. And what is the Department of Justice doing about it? And the special prosecutor? Probably nothing. However, sources don't go away. They create two major problems. Sources to the federal government, law enforcement sources.

They create two big problems for the DOJ and Merrick Garland right now. Problems for them, not problems in a regular justice system, which we don't have. Number one, sources create paper trails. Why? They go and talk to the FBI and the DOJ and go, I got information about Hunter Biden. The FBI has to take it down. That paper trail is not going away. Sources also create the threat of leaks and whistleblower leaks, which is exactly what just happened there. Folks, I've been doing this a long time, man.

You just learn to read this stuff like it's second nature. These hearings are never about questions and answers. They're about public performances and statements to move public opinion on an issue that's important to people that the modern media won't cover at least on the republican side that's what they're about what grasley's saying here combine the two now grasley's basically saying this we know foreign governments have blackmail files on Biden Inc. We know it because of sources and we know those sources. You're not doing a damn thing with them and you better move fast because I just got you on the record. Bank on it. None of that was by accident. Absolutely none of it.

By the way, it's not a coinkydink either that he later went on to ask a question. Hey, listen, if you had information, again, question, right? If you had information that the special prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case had made a referral to another assistant United States attorney and nothing had been done with it, would that be a problem? You think that was a question too? What is he saying? Hey, why did you guys stop that referral to the other a usa about hunter biden that that's what he's saying remember this show you'll thank me in a couple weeks on this one so why are faith in our institutions collapsing you just witnessed it the sniveling

coward merrick garland it made a joke of a human being. Flag it! Yeah, please. You're flagging that one on your own. I think that's important. I was debating saying that, but that's a good call. The Dan Bongino Show. If you'd like to hear more, subscribe to The Dan Bongino Show
