**Andy Frisella** (2:46)
They're in the old storage unit.

**DJ** (2:49)
What's that? What's that saying? Like a drunk's thoughts or sober thoughts? Drunk was it had to go.
It's like a sober man's thoughts or drunk man's thoughts. A sober man's something like that mouth. Yeah. So I don't know.

**Andy Frisella** (3:03)
I never heard that saying.

**DJ** (3:04)
Moving on. Yeah. No, there's a saying. It's like a sober man's thought is a drunk man's words or some shit.
I don't even know where that's going. God damn it. Yeah. It's great. Yeah. QVC is back in the moves. Yeah.

**SPEAKER_10** (3:21)
A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts.

**DJ** (3:24)
Okay. There you go. There it is. I was going to say old woman's box is a QVC commercial. Yeah.
Moving on. Yeah. Let's keep.
Damn it. Zeeshan. Let's keep cruising them. Do we got a lot to talk about today? Oh, do we? It's been hot. There's been there's been a lot of a lot of things happening.
But I think we've all been bamboozled. So let's dive into these guys. Remember, if you would like to see any of these articles, pictures, links, videos, go to andyfrisella.com. You guys can check them all link there. First big headline, big talk of the town. Senate panel votes 8-5 to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. So this just came out this morning. Chairman Rand Paul out of Kentucky announced the 8-5 committee vote on Thursday morning. All caps post, Paul wrote, Passed by Republicans on behalf of the millions of Americans and their families still affected years after the Covid pandemic, the resolution to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress has passed out of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee by a vote of 8-5. Paul explained prior to the vote, the lawmakers were voting on whether a witness who has received the benefit of a sweeping federal pardon, as we know he pled the fifth 111 times during his hearing, can be ordered by this committee to answer the questions and then defy that order without any consequence. And so that happened. Now, they have a very interesting strategy that they're rolling with this. So they passed, they did hold them in contempt. And typically what would happen is that they send that to the full Senate body to then vote on it. But that's not what they're doing. They're sending this straight to the DOJ. And this move is apparently pissing off some quite a few people. But the key difference here is that with the plan to skip the Senate vote and to send it a criminal referral straight to the Justice Department, Vice President JD Vance, the president of the Senate, would have to still certify the resolution and refer to the US Attorney for the District of Columbia. Now this could make it a lot easier to prosecute him, but the question comes down is would Vance do it at all?
