1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: What I really wanted to cover in the first segment

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: is the firing of Pam Blondie as Attorney General. A

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: lot of people were blindsided by the news, most of

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: all Pam Blondie, who apparently was begging the administration at

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: the White House.

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 2: Please don't fire me, Please let me keep my job,

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: President Trump, just give.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 3: Me more time.

9
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: More Time's so I need.

10
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: She must have been the last person on earth to

11
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: think that she wasn't gonna get fired.

12
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think a lot of people may have seen

13
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: this coming, especially after the dismissal of Christy Nome. This

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: was Fox and Friends making the announcement yesterday. Once the

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: news started being circled around.

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 4: They just got off the phone with President Trump.

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: We have a big skill.

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 4: Pam Bondi will soon leave her job as the Attorney General.

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 4: She is going to get a different job within the administration.

20
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like there is any bad blood between

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 4: her and President Trump, but it does seem like they

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: want her to go and do something else, and.

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: In an interim role.

24
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 4: She will be replaced by Todd Blanche, who is currently

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 4: her deputy at the Justice Department. So it doesn't sound

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 4: like Blanche is being elevated long term to the Attorney General.

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: There might be somebody else at the President wants to

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: go in there. But President Trump soon will announce to

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 4: the entire world that it is the end of Pambonni's

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: teim as the Attorney General. He still thinks that she

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 4: is a great person and that she did a good job.

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: So why don't you make like a tree and get

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 4: out of here?

34
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Now? Two things can't be true at the same time.

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: You can't be doing a good job and also be

36
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: worth firing, right, I mean, that's just bluster coming from

37
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: the administration. She made a lot of mistakes, most prominently

38
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: the handling of the Epstein right, I.

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: Have the list on my desk for review. I will

40
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: be releaseding it shortly. In then crickets, that was a problem.

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: I think she was on borrowed time ever since then.

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: And then when she appeared in front of Congress here

43
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: one a month or so ago, and oh that was well.

44
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: No, she started ranting about the Dow Jones industrial average

45
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: during her testimony before Congress. This was so out of place, Brad.

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: None of them ask Merrick Garland over the last four

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: years one word about Jeffrey Epstein. How ironic is that,

48
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: you know why because Donald Trump? The Dow. The Dow

49
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: right now is over. The Dow is over fifty thousand dolls.

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: trainer if I hear raskin. The Dow is over fifty

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: thousand right now, the SMP at almost seven thousand, and

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: the Nasdaq smashing records. Americans four oh one k's and

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: retirement savings are booming. That's what we should be talking about.

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: We should be talking about making Americans safe. We should

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: be talking about what does a doo have to do

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 3: with anything? That's what they just ask, Are you kiddy?

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: Shut up, silly woman.

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: I think in that instance, Pam Blondie really failed to

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: live up to expectations, provide any level of clarity, and

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: was desperately trying to deflect at that point. And it

63
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: was obvious. It is obvious.

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: It was so now it does make you wonder Trump's

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: gotten rid of all the hotties that were in his cabinet.

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: He's got to replace him. I mean, who was next

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: in line?

68
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be, And this is according to the

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: rumor mill. I don't think any official announcements have been

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: made yet, but former New York Congressman Lee Zelden, the

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: current head of the EPA, his name is being circulated

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: around as a possible replacement for Pam BONDI. He would

73
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: be an interesting choice. He has a military career. He

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: was one of the youngest practicing New York attorneys when

75
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: he got his law license I believe, at the age

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: of twenty three back in two thousand and four. So yeah,

77
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean there's some bonafides there.

78
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: Based on style, I figured it might be like Jenny

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: McCarthy right now. Seriously, I got two text messages yesterday

80
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: from people who know stuff. Both of them said, Todd

81
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: Roketa are Indiana's own. Todd Roketa is being considered.

82
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised that his name was in consideration,

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: considering how loyal he has been to the Trump administration.

84
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: He has been a real friend and partner ally of

85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. In communication with him, you know, he

86
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: was really really connected with with the the Trump agenda,

87
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: with the Trump Plan. He has associated his name with

88
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: the Trump branding. So you know, usually that kind of

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: association pays off, especially with Donald Trump, who likes getting

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: his ears tickled.

91
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: He does, Yeah, he does.

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: See. He even said as much during the Easter luncheon

93
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: at the White House. This was a this was a

94
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: fascinating drop from the president.

95
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 5: We have a regime change, like nobody thought it was possible.

96
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 5: He said, what do you mean you have regime change?

97
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 5: My friend? Great show. I love this guy nice to

98
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 5: me every time I watch, and I appreciate. You know,

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 5: we're not supposed to be seduced that way, but I am.

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 5: When somebody's nice to me, I love that person. Even

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 5: if they're bad people, I couldn't care less. I'll fight

102
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 5: to the end for them. So I appreciate it.

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: What an odd thing to say.

104
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: As long as they're nice to me, I like that.

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: They could be really bad people, they could be the worst.

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I mean you to look at look

107
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: at how Todd Raketa is. Personal personal life kind of

108
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: blew up after that that run for Senate, you know,

109
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: when he had the long list of obligations for his chauffeur.

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, it.

111
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: Kind of kind of went off, went off the deep end,

112
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: but very complimentary of Donald Trump. And you heard Donald

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Trump just said there that that goes a long way

114
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: in his book.

115
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: So so let's just since we're going the wa if route,

116
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: if Todd Raketa Is is offered the job, I mean,

117
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 2: it's been pretty evident that Rakita wants to be governor

118
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: of the state of Indiana, which he could potentially run

119
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: for in two years. Does he take the US Attorney

120
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 2: general spot or does he stick it out INDI NASA

121
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: and I want to be governor here.

122
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: I think he probably has a better shot of being

123
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: the governor here. I think that would be better for

124
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: his long term career. But if he were offered the position,

125
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to turn down a spot at

126
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: the White House, ultimately, true, even even if you're living

127
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: on borrowed time in a Trump administration.

128
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I guess. I mean he could stay attorney

129
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: general there for a couple of years.

130
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: And then yeah and then ago or yeah I came

131
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: back run for governor or just wait, you know, wait

132
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: to be fired like so many Trump administration officials tend

133
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: seem to be after a period of time.

134
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: Now, I know the Indian Attorney General this much, and

135
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: I know he's not a huge fan of Washington, d C.

136
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: And he is a big fan of Indiana. So I

137
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: don't know. Interesting, Like I said, that's a big wat

138
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: if And it's only from these two text messages where

139
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: I've ever heard his name mentioned. But these were kind

140
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: of insiders. I'm like, oh, that's curious. One of them

141
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 2: is just kind of a one off from a crazy person.

142
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: But if you hear it twice then it's like, well,

143
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: maybe there's something to it.
