End of the day, I've been disappointed in some of the criminal referrals that are collecting dust on Attorney General Bundy's desk. I've made that very clear with the white House. I'm hopeful that we'll see some action soon on, you know, the criminal referrals that range everywhere from Doctor Fauci to the Biden family [00:00:18] influence peddling scheme. Republican House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is not the only Republican who is fed up with Attorney General Pam Bondi. In fact, a new report in the Wall Street Journal exposes what President Trump [00:00:37] really thinks of his former lawyer, now his attorney general. And let's just say that it isn't the review that she's hoping for, Jake. No, it most certainly isn't. But why Donald Trump is throwing her under the bus is really interesting. [00:00:53] And it also shows you why there's literally no one in the country that could do that job for Trump. Can't wait to tell you why. Let's hear the facts first. I certainly would not sign up for that job under any circumstance. But nonetheless, the Wall Street Journal asserts that Trump has been complaining [00:01:10] to his aides over the past few weeks about how weak and ineffective Pam Bondi really is. His internal complaints are part of Trump's efforts to pressure the DOJ to prioritize his demands. Basically lawfare against his political opponents. [00:01:27] And what just happened with Jerome Powell, head of the Federal Reserve, should bolster that argument. And his complaints also include the fact that, you know, his complaints about her have increased in recent months. Like, he was like, kind of taking some jabs at her. [00:01:42] But according to this Wall Street Journal report, the complaints have increased significantly. So chief among his grievances, they write, is what he sees as Bondi's failure to quickly and effectively prosecute the investigators who had pursued him for years, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General [00:02:01] Letitia James. The officials and others familiar with his complaint said both criminal cases were dismissed by the way back in November by a judge, who said the Trump aide who secured the indictment had been improperly appointed to her post. [00:02:18] Trump has wanted to see the case or cases continue quickly. He has also heard from conservative activists and influencers criticizing Bondi, and collected similar social media posts that he has asked other aides about, the official said. [00:02:35] And we know how impressionable Trump is. You know, he'll usually go along with the person who has his ear and if he sees some of his supporters, you know, taking shots at Pam Bondi, he's, you know, more likely to listen to it, especially if he's unhappy [00:02:51] with the fact that she hasn't engaged in enough lawfare on his behalf. Now it's even gotten to a point where Trump is trying to figure out ways to appoint special counsels at the Department of Justice because of what he sees as slow progress. [00:03:06] He's also angry at Bondi's handling of the Epstein files, which I'm sure he is. When white House chief of staff Siouxsie Wiles told Vanity Fair that Bondi whiffed on her handling of the files, Trump told staff that he agreed with Wiles to, officials said. [00:03:22] And now remember, he's not agreeing with Wiles because Bondi said she had the goods and then engaged in a cover up. Trump is upset that Bondi said she had the goods to begin with because he never wanted to release the Epstein files, and in fact, currently he's not complying with the order [00:03:39] to release the Epstein files. Let's just be clear about that. Now, Bondi support improved slightly in September, to -17 points. Let me go to graphic four here because she has lost a lot of support from when she was initially announced as AG. So the Atlas Intel Polling found that [00:04:00] her popularity peaked in February of 2025, when 49% of people approved of her and 43% disapproved. In the months to follow, it steadily declined, and by August 2025, she had a net approval rating of -27 points, with [00:04:17] 63% disapproving of her and 26% approving. So things are not good for Pam Bondi. A lot of disapproval aimed at her. But there's two different things here, and I don't want people to get confused. Maggie is upset at the general. [00:04:32] American people are upset with her, as you see in polling, because she wouldn't release the Epstein files. But that's not why Trump is mad at her. Trump is the one who told her not to release the Epstein files. So it's a little apples and oranges. So he's like, oh yeah, yeah, and Maggie's mad at her. [00:04:50] That's making me mad. No, but they're mad at her for agreeing with you. Right. And so I thought when I first saw this story, Anna, that it was going to focus on, you know, she bungled it by saying that she had the Epstein files on her desk. And that led to so much more of a brouhaha and a bigger scandal, [00:05:08] and that she should have never said that. And she should have tried to bury the Epstein Files from day one. I thought that that's where the story was going to go, that that's what Trump was thinking. No. As usual, I have underestimated how insane Donald Trump is. And even me. And I think he's like Max, insane. [00:05:24] So why do I say that? So it turns out he is upset about Epstein, although that doesn't make any sense. He's the one telling her to do the unpopular thing. But then you go to James Comey, Letitia James and and Jerome Powell. He's like he wanted them arrested earlier. If you don't know if you know that statement that he put out on Truth Social [00:05:42] where he was like, you know, the attorney general or Pam should really arrest these people, it turns out he meant to text her, but the moron is accidentally put a post on Truth Social instead of texting her. So then they had to pretend that oh yeah, no, that's perfectly legal. [00:05:59] Me ordering the Justice Department to arrest my political enemies? No, the president is supposed to remove from the Justice Department so that the Justice Department could actually just do the rule of law and not be biased by politicians. So. But he wants her to arrest them. [00:06:15] So she goes to do it, but she can't find any real lawyer to do it because there's no fricking evidence, right? In fact, since the first, charges, they've tried to bring up James Comey to two more grand juries, and there's an old saying in law you could indict a ham sandwich. [00:06:31] What that means is, in grand jury testimony, there is no defense. So you can almost indict anyone you want. They're presenting this evidence to a grand jury after grand jury about how James Comey did something illegal. And they're like, no. Even without any defense at all. [00:06:49] We don't see what the hell you're talking about. So he's expected. And then. So since no real lawyer will do it, she finds a personal lawyer of Donald Trump or a dentist or a barber or something, sends her in to arrest these people. And the judge goes, what the hell are you doing? You're not even an accredited lawyer within the context of this case. [00:07:06] And he kicks him out. This is an impossible task. No one can ask to do these things that have no basis in fact. But then if that all that wasn't bad enough, finally he asks her, you have to find and prosecute the people who stole the 2020 election. [00:07:22] But there isn't anyone who stole the 2020 election, so you can't find it and you can't arrest people that did it because nobody did it. So she's like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Exactly. - So, Donald. - You say no. You say no when he's thinking about appointing you to that position. [00:07:38] You say no, but everyone is drunk on power and you think you're going to win. You're not going to win. You lost. - And here you are. - Yeah. And by the way, the next attorney general will have the same problem. Every single attorney general that Donald Trump puts into office, he will then later crap on and say, I'm very disappointed in them because he's like, [00:07:57] why don't you just make it up and just do a round up all my political opponents and say, they stole the election with Hugo Chavez. You're like, but that's I have to prove it in court and I don't have any frickin evidence. Are you fired? I'm very disappointed in you. So he's going to do that to the next attorney general, I guarantee it. [00:08:14] And the one after that, and the one after that. Because, guys, here's what we're not getting. The brother is mentally disturbed. I at this point, I think there's some chance he really thinks he won the 2020 election. Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs 2026 just started.
