It is the president's prerogative to choose if he wants new leadership in the Department of Justice, and he's made that choice.

but I think Pam served honorably in a very difficult job, and I think her results, particularly in terms of crime, in terms of going after murderers and rapists and gangbangers and illegal aliens, and the resulting 20% drop in the murder rate is staggering and unprecedented and is something she should be very proud of.

I'm certain that she is, because between that...

And the rate of drug overdose deaths dropping 20 percent nationally, there are literally thousands of Americans right now who are alive today because of the policy she and President Trump and a Republican Congress put in place, securing the border and removing dangerous criminals.

That's something to be really proud of.

Yeah, look, at least right now what's been announced is that Todd Blanch, who's the deputy attorney general, is going to be the acting attorney general.

I don't know how long that's going to last.

It wouldn't surprise me if President Trump gives him a little bit of time to see what kind of job he does.

He may end up leaving Todd Blanch in that role.

That would not shock me.

Todd is a serious lawyer, has been doing a good job as deputy attorney general.

He has been focused on a lot of the law enforcement mission, in particular, locking up criminals.

And so I could see him being given a shot at the top job.

There's been other chatter that Lee Zeldin, Lee Zeldin has also been a guest on this podcast.

He's the administrator of the EPA.

Well, listen, Lee has done a very effective job at EPA.

And by the way, it is hard to do the job of head of the EPA if you're not a lawyer, because it's dense and complicated laws and regulations and understanding it.

And Lee's been really effective in the regulatory reform agenda and in pulling back the job killing regulations that did so much damage under the Biden administration.

And I suspect that's one reason I haven't had this conversation with President Trump.

But I suspect that's one reason why he's considering Lee is because he's very, very effective in a complicated, difficult cabinet position.
