1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Hey there, folks, it is Thursday, April second. A breaking 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: story right now, Attorney General Pam Bondi has been fired. 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: We say fired with a nod and a wink and 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: a smirk. And I don't know what else we're going 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: to share with you some of the back and forth 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: and how we all found out, but rogues, this is 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: a big deal for the second time. And what a week. 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: A very high profile and a high profile female in 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: the president's cabinet has been let go. 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: I was just going to say, two of the most 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: prominent women within the administration, within days of one another, 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: have now been fired. And we know that Christy Nome 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: has been replaced by a white man, and there is 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: now word that the same thing is happening with Pam 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: Bondy as well. And look, this is now a pr 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: campaign at this point, because look, we talked about this 18 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: on Morning Run today, New York Times and CNN both 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: had independent sources and reporting suggesting this was going to 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: happen as soon as today, and lo and behold it does. 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: But my issue we were just talking about before we 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: came on, Look, this happens in every administration. We understand 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: that presidents go grow frustrated with or don't like how 24 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: certain members of their cabinet are performing, or perhaps don't 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: like how they're being received by the public. Either way, 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: this happens in every administration. However, I always find it 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: so interesting that people or our administration or our presidents 28 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: don't just speak the truth. They don't shoot straight with us, 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: and they try to act as if this is an 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: amazing person who's going to spend more time with their family. 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: I say that because that's just something people say, but 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: it's they've been fired. But there's never an actual acknowledgement 33 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: of that from the administration. 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: And we are speaking about that because of the statement 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: we are going to that you hear now from the 36 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: President in making this announcement. Again, this had been previewed, 37 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: if you will, by multiple news outlets today, but the 38 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: president's officially mate has be known a short time ago 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: by posting this on truth Social Again, we use the 40 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: word fired. Everyone has used the word fired. Here are 41 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: the words the President use. 42 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: Yes on Truth's Social he said, Pam Bondi is a 43 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: great American patriot and a loyal friend who faithfully served 44 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: as my Attorney General. Over the past year, Pam did 45 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown and crime across 46 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: our country, with murders plummeting to their lowest level since 47 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: nineteen hundred. We love Pam and she will be transitioning 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: to a much needed and important new job in the 49 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 2: private sector to be announced at a date in the 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: near future, and our Deputy Attorney General and a very 51 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: talented and respected legal mind, Todd Blanche, will step in 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: to serve as acting Attorney General. Thank you for your 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. My question is, 54 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: does anyone leave a prominent position like Attorney general after 55 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: a year because they have an opportunity to serve in 56 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: the private sector for a lot more money. 57 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: Happens all the time. 58 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: Okay that actually, uh, does I know what I'm asking that? 59 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: Because I did think that that is possible after just 60 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 2: one year? Is my question? 61 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: Okay, bro this okay, I give him credit, and maybe 62 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: this is a bit of loyalty. Is to try to 63 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: make it seem or come across as best he can 64 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: the idea to say she's transitioning to something somewhere that 65 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: will soon be announced at a later date. Almost sounds comical. 66 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: It's comical. Fine, and again I give him credit and 67 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: I will on this one if he's trying to just 68 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: make it sound better. 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: Robes. 70 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: This was wide reporting to the point of silliness this morning. 71 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: You and I have been in this industry a long 72 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: long time, and it used to be one source was okay. 73 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: He got to the point you need it too. The 74 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: industry standard became three robes. We saw folks like The 75 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: New York Times doing four and more sources about this 76 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: story happening. 77 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: Yes, and I actually even just read to you. NBC 78 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: News just put out something that said President Donald Trump 79 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: has grown dissatisfied with Attorney General Pam Bondi and was 80 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 2: considering replacing her, eight people familiar with the situation said 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: before he ultimately fired her on Thursday. Eight people, I've 82 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: never seen that before. 83 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: This is a story like this, somebody that high profile, 84 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: with the high stakes there are in politics, a news 85 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: organization knows better than to just put out some rumor 86 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: or something they heard. Yes, they made sure they asked, 87 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: and they asked, and they asked and they asked. When 88 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: you start seeing The New York Times got four sources 89 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: on this this morning, CNN had three. You're talking about eight. 90 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: The writing was on the wall. The thing, I guess 91 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: robes A lot of people looked and say, well, who 92 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: WHOA wait a minute. She was right by his side yesterday. 93 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so she was, And I think we even talked 94 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: about this on his way to the Supreme Court, which 95 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: was the first for any sitting president to go listen 96 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: to the arguments for the Supreme Court, listening to whether 97 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: or not birthright citizenship should be changed or amended or limited. 98 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: I guess is what the President has asked. But Pam 99 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 2: Bondi was seen traveling with him from the White House 100 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court. She was right there with him 101 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: at his prime time address yesterday evening on Thursday evening, 102 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: there she was, And he even spoke of her yesterday. 103 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: Because obviously these rumors have been circulated, so even as 104 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: early as this morning, President Trump said to NBC News, 105 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person, and she 106 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: is doing a good job. My issue is, look, I 107 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 2: understand you don't want to He's doing his best to 108 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: give her the kindest send off possible. But when you 109 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: have sources saying one thing and rumors of a heated 110 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 2: argument that apparently took place last week between the two 111 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: of them, where you've got multiple sources describing one thing 112 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: and then publicly you're hearing a complete opposite story line. 113 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 2: It's just again we wonder why there is distrust in 114 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: our government. This would be exhibit A no. 115 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: I give them. Look, yeah, this always happens. Things start leaking, 116 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: sources start talking, and an administration is trying to get 117 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: ahead of it, or not to confirm anything, or not 118 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: trying to get ahead of announcement they know might be coming. 119 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: These games get played all the time. 120 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 2: I get that, I get that, and I'm not naive, 121 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: But I'm just wondering what would a world look like 122 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: in which you could actually have an administration. Say, Pam 123 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: Bondi is a wonderful person. We think the world of her, 124 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: and her legal expertise is beyond reproach. However, we aren't 125 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: necessarily on the same page on a couple of things, 126 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: and so it's best for Pam to move on and 127 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: for us to bring in someone who we feel like 128 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: is a better fit for our administration. We wish for 129 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: the best, and there's no hard feelings, but at least 130 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: there's some honesty in there. I just feel like to 131 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: act like she's the best Attorney General ever, She's an 132 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: amazing human being, she did such good work, but we're 133 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: firing her. That doesn't make sense. And I understand, I 134 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: get the pr behind it, but I'm just wondering why 135 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: we can't actually have an honest and still kind conversation 136 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: about moving forward. Or people lose jobs all the time, 137 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: people go in a different direction all the time, people 138 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: get divorced, and they can still say kind things about 139 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: each other. But to not acknowledge, but to not acknowledge 140 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: there was an irreconcilable difference or some sort of issue, 141 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: To not even acknowledge that there was an issue is 142 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: what I always find to be strange. Like we're smarter 143 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: than that, We get it. You can be honest with 144 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: us and still say she's a great person. She could 145 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: be an amazing lawyer and an amazing human being, and 146 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: it still turned out it wasn't the right fit. And 147 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: that's okay. 148 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: One issue that's going to have to be dealt with 149 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: is if she's going to be showing up what mid April, 150 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: the committee investigating the Epstein investigation House Overside Committee has 151 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: called for her to testify. I believe they do have 152 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: it on the books April fourteen, April for April fourteenth. 153 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: Does this do anything to it? It shouldn't. It doesn't 154 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: matter what her status is necessarily, but Garcia, who's on 155 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: that committee, has already said this change is nothing. 156 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 2: So I was just going to say, can you imagine, 157 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: so she is scheduled to testify, she's been she's been 158 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: compelled to testify April fourteenth, that is next week. If 159 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: President Trump replaced her fired her within days of her testimony, 160 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: and that was the reason why she didn't testify. Can 161 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: you imagine the conspiracy theorists and what would happen if 162 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: that were the case. I can't. I cannot think of 163 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: a scenario in which she wouldn't testify without massive repercussions 164 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: and massive fallout and everyone would say, oh, well, this 165 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: is why he let her go. So I that would 166 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: be insane if she didn't testify. 167 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: Okay, now to what you are saying here, now, there 168 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: are plenty plenty of reporting from these NBC news and 169 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: like that this was he's grown frustrated with her for months. 170 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: So it's not like just now because she's been called 171 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: in to testify. That is the one argument. 172 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: Again, I'm not saying that that's what is true. I'm 173 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: saying that's what the would be. Okay. 174 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: So here's the other thing. I thought this was the 175 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: direction you were going to go. What if she's pissed. 176 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: What if she'll say I'll show up on the fourteenth, fifteen, 177 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: and sixteenth if you want me to, and she decides 178 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: to go scorch dearth any chance. 179 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: No, she's too smart. I don't think she's too smart 180 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: for that. She knows this isn't just about losing an 181 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: administration job President Trump and certainly the folks who support him. No, 182 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: you don't want to make an enemy of him. And 183 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: I think she's acutely aware of that because she was 184 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: tasked with, many people would say, basically trying to seek 185 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: legal revenge against folks who had done just that. So 186 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: she understands more than most of us do, what President 187 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: Trump's appetite is for pursuing revenge through legal means for 188 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: people who have crossed him. So I would think her 189 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: more than most would know not to do. 190 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: So you are, I can't It crossed my mind for us. Second, 191 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: I thought you were going in that direction, but that 192 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: there is zero chance for me that that would take place. 193 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: So why exactly that the President's sour on Miss Bondi 194 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: state here will explain what everybody is reporting, what was 195 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: the issue, and why did this have to happen? Now 196 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: stay here, we continue here on Amy and TJ. The 197 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: news just breaking this afternoon that Pam Bondi, the attorney general, 198 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: has been fired by President Trump. He did put out 199 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: a nice truth social post about her, saying that she's wonderful, 200 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: but saying she's going to be transitioning to a yet 201 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: to be named or created or something job in the 202 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: private important. He is a it was a critical role 203 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: in the private sector. Fine and Dandy rose the writing 204 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: on the wall. This is a she might have had 205 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: the most difficult job in the administration because she was 206 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: tasked with going after essentially, hey, go after that person. 207 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: Figure it out legally. That was a pretty tough job 208 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: and that is certainly one of the things people are 209 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: wanting to that led to her demise. But Robes, it's 210 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if you gave, you don't have to wait 211 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: and think that long, and that hard to figure out 212 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: why he might have had an issue with the jobs 213 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: he was doing solid by Epstein. 214 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: Uh. Look, she was not able to get indictments against 215 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: folks that he wanted to pursue legally, she went through 216 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: grand juries. They chose not to indict. There was also 217 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: this concept of the Jeffrey Epstein file saga and how 218 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,599 Speaker 2: the files were released when they were released. That was 219 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: kind of on her. And so if there was any 220 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: criticism about the Epstein files release and the transparency of 221 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 2: all of that and any criticism about it, he can 222 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: just point to her and said she messed it up. 223 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: She didn't do it right, correct. I mean. 224 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: That was obviously and widely reported. That was a big 225 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: part of why she is now out of this job. 226 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: We don't know where she'll land. Of the lasting memory 227 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: at least I have or I remember her is her 228 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: essentially juxtaposing her confirmation hearings with the last couple of 229 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: hearings she's had on Capitol Hill. There was so much 230 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: good will for her, I would say, in a lot 231 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: of ways from both sides of the aisle, when they 232 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: greeted her and were respectful to her and the questions 233 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: they asked in her confirmation. I just remember that having 234 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: a particular tone that wasn't like the others, and I 235 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: was frankly, I remember her family sitting there, and I 236 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: felt hopeful that, Okay, they like her. She's she seems sharp. 237 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: Even if she it doesn't matter what I don't know. 238 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: I was very, very hopeful. And then she had a 239 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: couple of confirmation hearings where she was unrecognizable, at least 240 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: to the woman that we had been introduced to. She 241 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: was combat of, She had a list of things she 242 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: wanted to throw back in their faces. She showed up 243 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: there not to answer questions but to be an attack 244 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: dog for the president, and that was a bad, bad 245 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: look for. 246 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: Her on a couple Interestingly, you just said she was 247 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: an attack dog for the president. Right, she was his 248 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: attorney general. You would think that would have garnered some 249 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: support from him. That she was basically taking incoming and 250 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: returning fire on behalf of the president and clearly not 251 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: necessarily representing herself in the best flight, but doing it 252 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: in protection of the administration's policies. 253 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: Nobody, nobody was applauding her performances. They were shocking robes, 254 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: they were shocking in how she went at them. Doesn't matter. 255 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: Democrat Republic just answered some questions. It doesn't robes. We've 256 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: seen a lot of hearings of any kind and senators 257 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: their moments, so you know they're going to do their 258 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: thing for the camera and some sit there and they 259 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: take it and they're fine. But she has a job. 260 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: I wrote, I was shocked, and I was I was shocked. 261 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: So panbody's gone, Christinome is gone. Who's next? 262 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: Who's next? Uh? You know, I don't know, but this 263 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: is It's been interesting to have these two in a 264 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 2: row so quickly. And we just got word that she 265 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: might be gone what last night yesterday, and boom, less 266 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: than twenty four hours later, turns out it was true. 267 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: I was thinking maybe even the president, obviously he reads 268 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: the news. He's very aware of what people are saying, 269 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: and certainly with the New York Times and what CNN 270 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: is reporting, I would think that maybe even just to 271 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: say face, he'd be like nah, and he would have 272 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: waited a little bit. I was actually surprised to have 273 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: it happen this quickly given the reporting that was going 274 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: on yesterday. 275 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: Because that reporting was in obviously accurate. This was imminent. 276 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: Everybody was reporting it. So the point wrote, if you 277 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: get that many sources, they've gotten to a point they're 278 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: comfortable enough speaking. Oh oh, this is happening. So Pambondy 279 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: is out after fourteen months at the helm of the 280 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: Justice Department, Todd Blanche taking over in the interim. We'll 281 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: see who gets a gets that most difficult job in 282 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: the administration long term. 283 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, the rumors were, at least the I shouldn't say rumors, 284 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 2: The reports were that the EPA, correct, the EPA secretary 285 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: was the top man potentially for that job. I don't 286 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: know much about him at all. Obviously we know Todd Blanche. 287 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: He was the president's former personal attorney, correct, and certainly handled. 288 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: He of course became a household name after the Glenn 289 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: Maxwell interviews, and so he has been very loyal to 290 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: the president. So that makes a lot of sense. But 291 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: in terms of who he turns to next, this will 292 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: be interested because this person will have to be confirmed 293 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 2: by the Senate. Correct, So this will be a whole 294 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 2: other process for the President that we will be following 295 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: here as you know. So thank you everyone for listening 296 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 2: to us. We always appreciate you. I'm Amy Roboc alongside TJ. Holmes. 297 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: We will talk to you soon.
