In short
A reaction to Kash Patel’s Senate hearing, focusing on claims that FBI hiring standards were changed regarding applicants involved in bestiality, and broader allegations that Republicans/Trump allies are intentionally lowering norms and harming public safety (food regulation rollbacks, baby formula recalls, AI “self-regulation”).
Guests
Two hosts (unnamed in transcript) who discuss politics and policy; one repeatedly addresses the other as “Pumps.” No other guests appear.
Key claims
Patel’s hearing response suggested that people trafficked into sexual bestiality could still be eligible for FBI jobs; hosts argue this is morally corrupt and part of a “fascist playbook.” They also claim Project 2025 and staffing cuts will cause contaminated food outbreaks and deaths, and that Trump won’t actually pay promised checks.
Notable examples
Senator John Kennedy grilling Patel; mentions of Mike Johnson’s porn-accountability software with his son; Project 2025/food safety rollback; contaminated lettuce deaths and baby formula recalls.

1:04Angie Sullivan:I think Cash Patel is about to get the axe. His ass was hauled in front of the Senate today. And Pumps, I know that your lungs are on their last leg. And I'm sorry for about what I'm about to put you through. But I have Cha-Cha here. Please show the Cha-Cha cam as your emotional support dog. And listen up, listen up, listener. Whatever you do, stay with me throughout this entire video. I'm going to pause, comment, allow pumps to recover from laughing, and then we will analyze it at the end. But do not back out of this video. Kash Patel is toast. Here he is getting roasted by conservative Senator John Kennedy.
1:42Angie Sullivan:Play the clip.
1:46What about the bestiality? Same thing, because the regs wrote it up in a fashion before I arrived that addressed prostitution, bestiality, and trafficking. They were there before I got there. Tell me what it said before. It automatically disqualified any individual who participated on either side of it. Obviously, we are never going to hire the criminal. This side of what? The bestiality? Yes. So you disqualified the animal? Well, I don't think we have great canines, but we're not going to disqualify it. I understand. I'm trying to understand why you did this. Why would you even get into bestiality?
2:26We are not into bestiality, but a lot of these individuals. I know you're not, but you changed. But I'm trying to explain it. You changed the qualifications and mentioned bestiality. If Joe participated in bestiality, not as the animal, but as the human. Pause it.
2:49Angie Sullivan:This is the director of the FBI of the United States of America being grilled by a MAGA moron senator because now the FBI has said, you diddle dogs in the past, no big deal. Come work for us. All right, pick it back up. Do you think he ought to be qualified, disqualified? If he voluntarily did it, sure. But if he was trafficked into it. Involuntearily. Pause it. Pause it. You see, you guys, in order to be an FBI agent, if you screwed the dog and you wanted it, you can't be an FBI agent. Can't do it. But if you were trafficked into bestiality, then we're going to let you in the FBI. eye. This is so insane that now the Trump administration policy is they are advocates for victims of trafficking into sexual bestiality, but they are not advocates for victims of basically children that have been raped by Jeffrey Epstein.
4:02Angie Sullivan:Resume with the clip. A lot of these cases when human traffickers who are some of the worst individuals on planet Earth, They don't just traffic you for prostitution. They traffic you for degrading acts of all kind, and they force you into that type of conduct. And some of these individuals would go on to be law enforcement officers who qualified to be law enforcement officers and later applied to the FBI. I mean, this didn't – these changes didn't start with you, did they? Somebody came to you and recommended? Yeah. Yeah. And when you saw bestiality – I'll say this with respect. In fact, the person who recommended it, why didn't you just say, what planet did you parachute in from?
4:44Why do I want to leave? Well, that was my initial response. Why do I want to leave with my chin and get into bestiality? That was my initial response, Senator. But they then explained to me and showed me cases in which people were forced into it and had applied to the FBI. And so I thought they should be considered. It's not an automatic decision.
5:04Angie Sullivan:cash if you were trafficked and you did some shit with an animal but it wasn't your fault it's okay all right but you don't have to go down this road and you don't have to take the united states of america down this road all right continue with the clip okay all right i think i understand but you're not telling us today that if a human being had sex with an animal, that they can still be an FBI agent? No. Are you? No. They can't be, can they? They cannot. In fact, they ought to be in jail, right? Look at Marsha Blackburn. I was just going to say, she's not even paying fucking attention. Okay, number one, I'm really disappointed her hair isn't all ratted out.
5:50Angie Sullivan:I know, me too. Number two, she is like, oh my God, make it stop. because, okay, finish it out real quick, the whole clip. Yeah, well, okay. Honey, what are you listening to? Mom! Your teen might not share everything with you, but teens share everything with each other. And certain everyday behaviors like sharing food, drinks, or kisses could mean sharing bacteria that can cause meningococcal disease known as meningitis. Although meningitis is uncommon, about one in ten who develop it will die. Ask your teen's doctor about missing meningitis vaccinations. Learn more at meningitis.com.

6:33Angie Sullivan:All right, so that was it.
6:38Angie Sullivan:You guys, okay, that's so nutty, obviously. One of the crazier things. But what's significant about that? Aside from it just being hilarious and something that you would think you would see in a movie, this is our federal government. I think what's significant about this, Pumps, and I want to get your take on it, is the Republicans work in tandem with everything to keep this regime propped up. Right. The fact that Kennedy went in after him like that tells me this is the beginning of the end of Patel. And I think when he said, who came to you with this idea? I wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was set up and he's going to take the fall for this bestiality FBI agents, which is such a disgrace.
7:23Angie Sullivan:I just I can't. The argument there is that that he wants to allow victims of sex trafficking, which I agree, victims of sex trafficking, their victims, and that should never be relevant. But where Kennedy fell short is a victim, a rape victim doesn't have to reveal that they were a victim of a crime. I imagine maybe on an FBI application you might have to. But we have a government right now who every single chance they can show us how weird sexually they are, they do. Every single time. Like every single time they show us how weird they are. It's so weird because when he's talking like, who came to you?
8:13I know this wasn't your idea. Who came to you with the bestiality issue? Okay, number one, who's the crazy fuck that had the fucking audacity? I mean, obviously he's into bestiality, the guy that or girl that brought it to him. But the fact that he entertained it, I mean, what a fucking clown. What a clown. If Kennedy, if Senator Kennedy knows you're a clown, that's fucking embarrassing. And I think you're right. Like, I completely 100 % agree. Like, this would not have happened in a vacuum. Kennedy was just not so offended by bestiality that he woke up and said, I'm fucking grilling cash.
8:51Angie Sullivan:And I think what we have to realize here is MAGA is a policy of shock and awe. And they all get together and they go, okay, how can we own the libs? How can we really show people with our propaganda and our intentional, we get to do immoral things and you don't. All of this is by design. All of this is the fascist playbook. So they say, okay, we're going to remove, if you were a hooker, you can be an FBI agent. If you were into bestiality, you can be an FBI agent. Because basically, Kash Patel is trying to draw a distinction there that I believe the policy doesn't allow for. They wanted that headline.
9:30Angie Sullivan:We have lowered standards at the FBI because Donald Trump ran on we're going to drain the swamp, which was a big hoodwink, because what he's doing is installing the swamp. He's installing the most morally depraved people on the planet. Look no further than the fact that Kash Patel is the FBI agent. Look no further than the fact that Pete Hegseth is the secretary of war. Look at I mean, look at what's happened to Marco. I mean, and we could just go on down the list. christy gnome shoots the puppy a husband big titty brian wants to be a trans bimbo slut and you go on and on and on and this is for a normal person we think what are they doing why are they doing this this is on purpose this is by design this is the fascist playbook they display this and then in the crosshairs of all of this you have this guy named little moses mike grinder johnson and he has power like he he actually which is so crazy when you think of powerful people You just don't think of Moses Mike Johnson, the little pipsqueak, right?
10:29Angie Sullivan:So he's called out by a reporter on his hypocrisy. He had a little presser today. Play the clip. A lot about communism. How is communism any different from what President Trump is doing of getting equity states in tech and promising$5 ,000 checks to Americans and having equity in steel? So what the president is articulating, and he comes up with creative ideas all the time. He's the ideas president. I mean, this guy, this guy could actually be a guardrail, you know, and he, every day he gets up, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House of the United States of America, puts on a masterclass on how to be a pussy.
11:08Angie Sullivan:Yeah. And so for all of the little right wing channels that like to cut us up, cut this up. MAGA men are pussies. They have power. And instead of using their power to have integrity, to promote the common good, to uphold the constitution. They use their power to fluff up the ego of a small penis, obese orange man. And the small penis thing is on the record. Stormy Daniels on Jimmy Kimmel. She picked what she said. Personal knowledge. And so this is MAGA masculinity. This is why they come and cut up our episode all the time and put it on right wing media because they can't cut up Mike Johnson and say, look at what a badass he is.
11:55Angie Sullivan:Look at our fighter here. I mean, Moses, Mike, he is a fucking badass warrior. They can't say that. So instead they're like, look at these crazy witches. The liberal white woman, she's just all the way in the evil. Okay, here's two things. Number one, Kash Patel is like, obviously wouldn't hire a criminal. Bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Bullshit. The president is a criminal. Full stop. And then here's the deal. Mike Johnson, can you imagine if Joe Biden had said, if we win the election, we're going to give everybody$5 ,000? He would be just a hypocrisy. But here's the deal. Everybody's like back and forth on the$5 ,000.
12:36Trump is never going to give anybody any money. He keeps all the money. He takes taxpayers' money and he keeps it. He will never give anybody$5 ,000 if they win the election. That is just simply a farce. It goes with the$2 ,000 for insurance,$2 ,000 for Doge. He's never going to give anybody any money because he keeps it all because he's a fucking crook and a con man. And anybody who still believes it, you're a dumb fuck.
13:07Angie Sullivan:It's totally true. And here's Mike Johnson. And he's asked about AI companies and if they should be regulated. Play the clip. If you're Dario or Sam or any of the big provider, those two lead frontier labs in the development of AI. And what happens next? They can self-police. They can self-regulate. Jesus H. Christ. Hang on. Don't say anything. This is a two-part hit, Pumps. Okay. He says that self-policing. Okay. This is coming from a man. And I'm about to play you all a clip. This is the current speaker of the house who thinks about porn so much that he is involved in some software with his teenage son, where his teenage son gets a notification if the speaker of the house, little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, is on Pornhub or what have you.
13:59Angie Sullivan:Or maybe he Googled, remember Magic Mike? He thought that was pornographic of the men in their panties, right? Remember he thought that was porn? Play the clip. Covenant Eyes is the software that we've been using a long time in our household. It scans all the activity on your phone. And then it sends a report to your accountability partner. So my accountability partner right now is Jack, my son, right? Yeah, because that's totally normal.
14:29Angie Sullivan:Maggot's always a tell. What I hear Moses Mike Grinder Johnson saying there is I think about porn all the time. It's so bad. I have to bring my son Jack into it. I have to think of the most shameful thing possible to entrap myself that I won't do it. But Kash Patel in the FBI, I'm thinking everybody's there is thinking about sex with animals. That's what I think right now, because these people are bizarre AF. These are the people who say we are, America is endangered by the white liberal woman. I'm sorry. Are you kidding me? Do you think the white conservative women like Bridget of the Moms of Liberty that had her little scissor menage a trois?
15:19Angie Sullivan:What's that? So are you for family values or are you for the Moms of Liberty scissoring? Because just pick a lane and let us know. Because this is our government. This is our government. And we are run by little Moses Mike Grindor Johnson and little Cash Patel and little Todd Blanche. And these are very little men that want to feel big. And they can have all the power, all the titles, all the positions. It will never fix them. They are perpetually broken to infinity. I just, whenever I watch all this stuff going on, I always think, can you imagine what the president's office in France is thinking when they see this beast?
16:03I mean, they're just thinking what the fuck is going on in the united states for europeans and people around like this is so crazy like i did not have on my bingo card today that cash patel would be defending bestiality i just didn't like there's no bottom there's just no bottom and to your point
16:22Angie Sullivan:for a long time europeans have been abundantly aware of america's crazy christian problem right This is not something new for them that America has a crazy Christian problem. We are one of the only countries in the world that denies climate change. I mean, I think even North Korea. We are, and all of that comes from having a stupid base that is blindly obedient, that was raised by authoritarian, abusive parents that primed them to go into these authoritarian, authoritarian abusive churches and give them all their money. And it primed them to now have their daddy that they give all their money buying all the riffraffs and knickknacks that he sells.
17:06Angie Sullivan:And I think he's moved on from his gift shop lately because now he's really able to enrich himself. But all of this is happening and all of these people say, oh, we're pro-life. We are so pro-life. We are so pro-family. And Senator Elizabeth Warren is quietly working on exposing things that are really impacting people's lives and also business. Republicans say they care about business. Pop this up. Here's what happened to food safety under Trump and RFK Jr. In 2024, Project 2025 calls for rolling back food regulations, including baby formula. In 2025, the Food and Drug Administration workforce is cut by 20%.
17:45Angie Sullivan:The CDC loses 25 % of its workforce. USDA eliminates two food safety advisory committees. FDA suspends critical food safety and quality checks after staffing cuts. Foreign food safety inspections fall by nearly 30%. So what happens after they do all that? What happens in 2026? 12 ,000 plus six, 500 plus hospitalizations and two deaths from contaminated lettuce. 160 plus foods recalled so far, including baby formula. These are the people that tell you they care about babies. These are the people that lie and tell you they care about babies. And 37.2 million pounds of food recalled in the first half of 2026, up 2 ,432 % from the last year.
18:38Angie Sullivan:this is a designed unforced error this is on purpose they want a sick poor dumb electorate and all the while you have the people like riley gains and erica kirk and all of these super duper christians that are so worried about a drag queen and they're so worried about zero trans athletes in the wmba meanwhile they'll never speak out against this they will never speak out where it matters. And Riley Gaines claims she cares so much. Katie Miller cares so much about breeding. Have they ever made a statement about the baby formula being recalled? I don't recall. So they're all liars. They're all liars.
19:19Angie Sullivan:They're all in on the grift. And we're really being governed by people that support bestiality, in my opinion, people that support child pedophilia, the entire regime, in my opinion. Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, who thinks it's wholly appropriate, perfectly normal, for he and his son to be in a porn watch exchange surveillance program, which is weird as shit. And then all of that stuff kind of distracts us because it's so juicy and just breathtakingly incompetent. And here we have Senator Liz Warren really pointing out what they're doing. They're killing people and making them sick. Well, and you look at, it's just kind of a full circle moment of the episode, because Mike Johnson's like, we're going to have the AI people that want to make all the money.
20:05They're going to self-regulate. And I'm confident that all of these companies that have been providing deregulated food and making people sick and baby formula, I'm sure they thought they're going to self-regulate because that's a great fucking idea.
20:23Angie Sullivan:No, they did it on purpose. they didn't think they would self-regulate as I started that off in 2024 project 2025 calls for rolling back food regulations and what my conversations with Ruth Ben-Ghiad in these episodes before they do this on purpose they want a sick poor electorate it's by design it's a part of the strongman fascist playbook I mean basically the Mein Kampf of modern time is project 2025 I mean, that is this is a complete dismantling of democracy, of service, public safety checks. This is on purpose. There wasn't a logical thing going through this. This is their desired result. The problem they're going to run into with this is they're so stupid and impulsive.
21:10Angie Sullivan:At some point, big business is going to go, wait, we're losing billions of dollars. and um so it's just but this is all by design and we always have to remember that incompetent people are hired by design the bestiality thing wasn't just incompetence it's how much can we show the moral collapse how much can we rub it in people's faces how much can we flaunt our disrespect for rules and norms this is the fascist playbook it's so important that we always go back this is by design as crazy as it seems this is what they all do god i mean i know you're right i've heard ruth bendy out say it's just so counter but thank you for always reminding me because it just i try to apply rational thought to this yeah you can't because it's irrational yeah it's so irrational and when you think what would i do in that situation well you wouldn't be in that situation she would never go work for a man like donald trump a normal healthy functioning person would not think yeah i'm going to go work for this administration after we all saw January 6, 34.
