What breaking news announces Pam Bondi is being removed as Attorney General?
We start with the big breaking news, which is, according to Semaphore and MSNOW, Pam Bondi is on her way out. The reporting, Ahmed Baba is here with me. The reporting is that she has been informed that her days as attorney general are up soon.
Yes, we are seeing reporting from Semaphore, corroborated by MSNOW and a bunch of other news organizations that Trump has told her explicitly that her days are numbered. And he wanted to give her a heads up before the big announcement, I guess, so she's not notified by tweet in the middle of a speech like Kristi Noem was. But basically what we're getting is that Pam Bondi's days are numbered and that it's due to MSNOW specifically said, the other people, the White House is going to say their official narrative. But... What we see is that MS Now is saying it's because she didn't aggressively enough pursue his political opponents. So that's the latest news.
Well, I'm here to tell you that she was. Our political opponents are people he deemed to be his political targets, targets or rivals. Interesting, because what I read, which was a New York Times report last night that was saying he was considering it, is that he wanted to possibly replace her with Lee Zeldin. who is, I forget his exact title now, but he is a former congressman from New York, Long Island, and actually was a congressman in my very own district.
Yeah, he's head of EPA right now. And I guess they may... It seems... I mean, he's still a sycophant. He'll do the bidding. But it seems maybe they want a more low-key, maybe more competent person to actually pursue the goals. Because Pam Bondi was kind of stumbling over her own feet, over everything, right? Like, we had the Lindsay Halligan hiring, how that was handled, which led to Letitia James and James Coney's first attempt at the prosecution being thrown out. And then... The grand jury rejected Letitia James twice, right? So there's all these fumbles that they made. So I think maybe he wants more competence this time as opposed to the show of it. But either way, man, I'm happy to see her go. I'm happy to see her go.
Yeah, look, when I told someone before, they said, well, chances are he's going to get rid of Pam Bondi, who's incompetent, replace her with someone who is a bit more competent and is worse. Now, I don't know if Lee Zeldin will be worse or not. He was a very, very conservative congressman when I knew him and very much a loyal MAGA person.
Yeah. So, I mean, I think you're right. I think he's going to be looking for more competence. And I will just say, Don, you and I kind of called the order of people in our Kristi Noem live stream we did after she got fired. We were talking Pam Bondi might be next. Tulsi Gabbard will potentially be eyed.
Why did reports say Trump told Pam Bondi her days were numbered?
And we're also seeing in The Guardian that Tulsi Gabbard, Trump is like basically taking a straw poll, kind of going around the cabinet, like asking, like, should I fire Tulsi? Should I not fire Tulsi? So I think like we're getting we got Kristi Noem first. Looks like Pam Bondi is going to go down the list and then maybe Tulsi. And from what we're saying and what we were saying previously and what we're seeing now, it kind of tracks that he's going to be throwing people under the bus ahead of the midterms. He's cleaning house and throwing people under the bus.
There was someone who I thought made a very astute assessment, and let me see if I can find it here for you. Here it is. This is Amy Siskund on Twitter saying, trust me, I am no Gnome, Bondi, or hang on. Here it is. Trust me, I am no fan of Noam, Gabbard, or Bondi, but I do find it notable that of the cabinet members Trump has fired or is reportedly considering firing, all three are women. How about Hegseth? Kennedy Jr. Can't even find a CDC director to match with his craziness. Patel is a laughingstock, and so on. Why aren't they being fired?
Honestly, a good question. A good question. I mean, obviously, Bundy and them, they're no feminists, but the pattern is here. He's targeting women first, whereas the incompetence is definitely shared across the board among the men.
