We have this tradition every night, what he would call a final final. So we'd have dinner and then we'd go somewhere and have like the final drink. Everybody should have a beer or three. It's gonna be pretty, it's gonna be pretty lit. I might have some special apparel. We are, we're gonna throw down. There's gonna be bourbon. There's gonna be sparklers. We ended [00:00:16] up in Northern Italy and we were slamming the gronies at our like last night. And I was like, I need a subpoena. I went to Devin and I told him that in the morning. He goes, dude, if you're gonna start drinking at night, get out of my office. Can I be the first one to say that if I ever go before a Senate confirmation, they're gonna call me an alcoholic? He actually [00:00:36] ended up being right about one thing. ah The issue is that they're still calling him an alcoholic because he's an alcoholic. And there's a lot of problems that can come from that when you're given a position of power and authority. And you have this addiction problem combined with an addiction to desperately wanting to be cool. And so in pursuit of that, you maybe [00:00:55] make some bad choices. And here's the latest one. Cash Patel is starting up effectively an American gladiator-esque competition for the FBI. They're launching a brand new competition designed to crown the fittest male. And they'll even allow some females to among FBI agents [00:01:15] across the country. Because Cash Patel, like Pete Hegseth, is absolutely obsessed with how jacked and ripped the men working around him are for some reason. This is apparently going to happen across the summer. All 56 field offices across the nation are being actively encouraged [00:01:31] to put forward their absolute best. Each office will nominate one male. and one female agent to represent them on the national stage, which I believe is the basic premise of the Hunger Games. And I guess if you want to win, you should probably act as if we're doing the Hunger Games because you're going to need to be vascular to impress these people. Anyway, there's going [00:01:50] to be some sort of preliminary round to determine who the top agents are. So before you can get sent to the American Gladiator thing, you have to prove your worth at home by surviving a punishing mix of physical and mental drills in their local offices. nothing too strenuous. [00:02:06] They're not gonna make you remember person, woman, camera, man, TV or anything like that. You're not gonna have to identify the lion or the elephant, only Donald Trump can do that. But yeah, they're gonna do this competition to determine who's the best of the best for [00:02:21] some reason and whatever that means, Keith. This is a serious thing that the FBI is going to be doing. We have given up on the FBI investigating real crimes, white supremacist, like militias, those sorts of things are not gonna be investigated anymore. We need to protect the ideological [00:02:38] allies of the president. And instead, it's Cash Patel going to hockey games. And it's the FBI agents being forced to compete for the pleasure of the ruling class. I don't like our country. What do you think is going on? I mean, I just think about Savannah Guthrie's mom. That's [00:02:57] devastating. That is devastating. How do think she feels? we're going to put on a competition, but you can't even like find her mom. So I don't know, man. It's like, it's just deeply embarrassing. [00:03:14] And it's obviously, it's obviously whatever's happening at the FBI is making us less safe and is emboldening bad guys because they feel like they're going to be able to get away with it because they are. It's insane. I did not. That's insane. It's frankly embarrassing. [00:03:33] It's just embarrassing. It's just so sad that the only figure and passion I see in our federal law enforcement is to go after Comey, Tish James, that sort of thing. They don't even, they barely-. Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker, yeah, gonna be subpoenaed now, that's a great point. [00:03:52] ah Even when Charlie Kirk gets killed, it's like a slapdash nothing investigation for some reason. They don't seem to care or take seriously any of this stuff. Our country is awash in corruption like we've never seen before. People are trying, by the way, people are trying to [00:04:11] take out the president routinely now. Every weekend there's a new shooting. But instead, they're going to be taking those big padded mouths and try to hit each other off of things into a ball pit. This is how pathetic and childish our country has become because we are ruled [00:04:27] by drunk children. like Kash Patel and Pete Hexa.
