Podcast appearances and mentions of Pam Bondi

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back to fight Trump chaos with their chaos. Like a lot of people right now floating outside Tehran and Basra, Singer-songwriter Country Joe McDonald was an enlisted Navy sailor. Like a lot of people right now, he gave an F-U-C-K about what we were doing, and now, sadly, whoopee, we are gonna do it again. The guy who cares the least about what we are fighting for is Donald K. Trump, as both problems and solutions make him equally angry. At least no new pronunciation guides will be needed for Iran's leadership, nor will anyone need to adjust their governance or diplomacy theories. Not that the US is expected to take into consideration… anything. We'll just commit our war crimes and be shocked when Iran commits theirs. Thousands are stranded in the area unless they're mogging with sufficient rizz... Polling indicates that Trump could neither mog nor rizz himself out of a paper bag. James Talarico can, however, and at almost Mamdaniesque levels… plus, James has JESUS. Take that MAGA! Trump should consider a nice track suit to match his hat the next time he attends the transfer of killed US service members. Ok, the DHS kidnaps, tortures, and kills a few people, but they'd never get in the way of spring break.  The President feels their pain but refuses to sign any bill until Congress passes his anti-voting anti-trans act and gives him three scoops of ice cream. A woman born in the US has her immigration status put under review. She-Wolf of the DOJ, Pam Bondi announces that state bar associations can't investigate misconduct by lawyers but hasn't figured out a way to keep Congress from investigating her misconduct. Meanwhile, this administration still holds a grudge for Cassidy Hutchinson and if they can't lock anyone else up, she might have to do.

Pam Bondi is facing escalating pressure from Congress after lawmakers voted to subpoena her to testify about the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The controversy centers on the government's rollout of records required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated that the Justice Department release all documents connected to Epstein's crimes and the investigations surrounding him. While millions of pages were eventually released, large portions of the material remain redacted or withheld, prompting accusations that the department failed to fully comply with the law. Members of Congress have expressed frustration that the document releases appeared disorganized and incomplete, fueling suspicion that key evidence or names tied to Epstein's network may still be concealed.The subpoena reflects growing bipartisan anger over what lawmakers see as a lack of transparency in the government's handling of the Epstein records. Critics argue that despite promises of openness, the public has received only a fragmented picture of the evidence surrounding Epstein and his associates. Questions remain about why certain records were withheld, how decisions about redactions were made, and whether the Justice Department deliberately slowed or limited the disclosures. The dispute has now turned into a major confrontation between Congress and the Justice Department, with lawmakers demanding direct answers from Bondi about whether the government truly fulfilled its obligation to release the full scope of the Epstein files.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Even Republicans have had enough of Bondi covering for Trump | Opinion

Hawk examines the recent suppression of a Department of Homeland Security and FBI intelligence memo intended for state and local law enforcement regarding increased domestic threat levels. This five page document warned of potential Iranian proxy or sleeper cell activity within the United States following the initiation of war on February 28th. A separate classified report from the National Intelligence Council suggests that even a large scale military campaign would likely fail to oust the clerical and military establishment in Iran. Despite reports of significant missile and drone strikes hitting Tel Aviv and U.S. military bases in the region, mainstream American media outlets remain largely silent on these developments. This lack of coverage coincides with major media organizations and social media platforms paying millions to Donald Trump to settle various legal disputes. The ownership of major news outlets by billionaires and individuals with specific geopolitical interests has led to a climate of self-censorship and a failure to provide a complete picture of the conflict. This behavior reflects a concerning trend of obeying in advance to avoid conflict with the current administration.

The Trump Administration and especially AG Pam Bondi, especially after Kristie Noem's firing, are trying to prevent state bar regulators from taking away the law licenses of Trump lawyers, like Bondi, and have secretly published a new proposed rule that would allow the DOJ to investigate its OWN lawyers and sideline bar regulators from going after their licenses, perhaps indefinitely. Popok reports on The Florida Bar opening an investigation against a senior former DOJ Trump prosecutor—Lindsey Halligan— and why this is keeping Pam Bondi, a fellow Florida bar member, up at night.

Why do some loyalists get the boot while others survive the chaos? When names like Kristi Noem vanish from the inner circle, it's easy to get distracted by the drama—but the real story is what hasn't changed. Despite the shifting faces, the most controversial policies on mass deportation and detention remain steady and untouched. Michael Steele explores the "popcorn heads" surrounding the presidency—from Pam Bondi to the ever-present Kash Patel—and breaks down the unspoken rule of political longevity: Loyalty gets you in the door, but execution keeps you in the room.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, share it with a friend!

If you look really closely at Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, you can almost see it circling the drain. Yesterday, DOJ attorneys filed a notice with the DC Circuit Court of Appeals saying they wanted to withdraw the appeals DOJ had filed in four cases involving Trump's executive orders that were designed to punish law firms he didn't like. Trump's DOJ had lost all four cases, given that his executive orders were transparently unlawful and unconstitutional. Then today, in an extraordinary flip-flop, the DOJ said they wanted to withdraw their request to withdraw their appeals. In other words, after throwing in the towel, they told the court . . . they want their towel back. This horribly inconsistent and incompetent conduct makes clear that the DOJ is in disarray.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Headlines: The first cabinet firing of Trump 2.0 has arrived. After two rough days testifying before Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is out. Her replacement is Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin — a rancher, MMA fighter, and former ethics investigation subject who had to repay $40K in "mistaken" payments. So, a lateral move. DHS remains unfunded for a third week, and Democrats say swapping Noem out isn't enough. On the war front, the House voted 212-219 against a War Powers resolution that would have required Trump to seek congressional approval before continuing strikes in the Middle East. The US embassy in Kuwait has been shuttered after retaliatory strikes killed six American soldiers. Trump, meanwhile, told Axios he wants to personally pick Iran's next leader — though he noted most of his preferred candidates are already dead, which is a sentence that actually happened. In a memo reported by The Information, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei went off on the Trump administration, stating plainly that the White House's beef with his company comes down to Anthropic refusing to donate, refusing to flatter, and refusing to play along with what he called "safety theater." OpenAI, he implied, has been less principled. Elsewhere: Trump's White House ballroom plans hit a snag after 35,000+ public comments — 97% of them hostile — delayed a federal vote until next month. RFK Jr. got 50+ medical schools to adopt his nutrition curriculum framework, though notably none of the schools that already settled with the Trump administration signed on. And a new anti-corruption group sued Trump and Pam Bondi over the TikTok deal, arguing the administration ignored Congress's national security mandate to hand the app to political allies instead.

Law and Chaos wishes a big mazal tov to Kristi Noem on her new, very real job as assistant principal of the Yeehaw American Hegemony Club. And to Lindsey Halligan on catching a Florida Bar investigation.We'll discuss our recent post on Pam Bondi's very timely announcement that she intends to take over state bar complaints against DOJ employees. It comes at a moment when district court judges are telegraphing very clearly that they are going to start holding DHS and DOJ in criminal contempt for rampant disregard of court orders. Specifically, Judge Michael Farbiarz of the District of New Jersey says he'll require sworn affidavits from officials at the US Attorneys Office and ICE for every habeas release case that comes before him. This will likely serve as a model for other judges whose dockets are buckling under the weight of habeas cases from all the immigrants ICE is illegally detaining.Elections expert Joe Dye is back to discuss Tuesday's primary elections in Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina.And for subscribers, we'll discuss the shadow docket order in which the six conservative justices leapt in to save New York Rep.

The House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, a move that reflected growing frustration in Congress over what lawmakers say has been a deeply flawed and opaque disclosure process. The subpoena passed in a 24–19 vote, with several Republicans joining Democrats in demanding that Bondi appear before the committee to explain why the department missed legal deadlines and failed to release large portions of the Epstein records despite the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Lawmakers say that while the Justice Department released millions of pages of documents, investigators believe tens of thousands of files remain withheld or offline, raising serious concerns that the public has not been given the full picture. The vote to compel Bondi's testimony amounted to a rare bipartisan rebuke of the nation's top law-enforcement official and signaled mounting anger in Congress over what many members believe has been a pattern of evasion and incomplete disclosure.Critics have argued that Bondi's handling of the Epstein files has been marked by delays, contradictions, and combative responses to oversight rather than transparency. Lawmakers and investigators have accused the Justice Department under her leadership of missing mandated release deadlines, redacting or withholding key documents, and failing to provide clear explanations for why large portions of the records remain unavailable. During earlier congressional questioning, Bondi reportedly deflected direct questions about Epstein's accomplices and the status of ongoing investigations, which only deepened suspicions that the department may be shielding powerful figures connected to the case. The subpoena now forces Bondi to answer under oath about decisions that critics say have undermined confidence in the Justice Department's commitment to fully exposing Epstein's network. For many in Congress, the issue is no longer simply about document management—it is about whether the nation's top prosecutor has obstructed transparency in one of the most explosive criminal investigations in modern history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House panel votes to subpoena Pam Bondi for Epstein files testimony

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta sexta-feira (06): O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal, André Mendonça, determinou a transferência do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, para a Penitenciária Federal de Brasília. A decisão atende a um pedido da Polícia Federal e ocorre após a prisão do empresário em uma operação que investiga um suposto esquema bilionário de fraudes financeiras. Vorcaro está detido na Penitenciária 2 de Potim, no interior de São Paulo. A Polícia Federal investiga mensagens encontradas no celular do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, que indicariam proximidade com autoridades dos Três Poderes. Nos diálogos analisados pela CPI mista do INSS, Vorcaro menciona encontros com o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes e o presidente do Senado Davi Alcolumbre. As mensagens também citam o senador Ciro Nogueira e a eleição do deputado Hugo Motta para a presidência da Câmara. As conversas, muitas delas com a influenciadora Martha Graeff, estão sendo analisadas pelas autoridades no contexto das investigações sobre o Banco Master. Uma decisão do ministro Flávio Dino, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), anulou a quebra dos sigilos bancário e fiscal de Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, conhecido como Lulinha. A medida havia sido aprovada pela Comissão Parlamentar Mista de Inquérito do INSS (CPMI do INSS). A comissão de Supervisão da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos aprovou a intimação da secretária de Justiça Pam Bondi para prestar esclarecimentos sobre a atuação do Departamento de Justiça dos Estados Unidos na condução do caso envolvendo o financista Jeffrey Epstein. A Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro pretende obter novas provas contra os envolvidos em estupros de estudantes do Colégio Federal Pedro II, no Rio de Janeiro. Os investigadores ainda esperam conseguir dados do celular e de computadores do adolescente denunciado à Justiça por dois crimes de estupro. O jovem é apontado pela polícia como mentor dos ataques, que seguem a mesma dinâmica. A polícia também não descarta pedir quebra de sigilo telefônico dos quatro réus envolvidos no estupro coletivo a uma jovem de 17 anos, em Copacabana. O presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump, disse nesta quinta-feira (05) que seria “uma perda de tempo” considerar o envio de tropas terrestres americanas ao Irã neste momento. Trump também afirmou que precisa estar “envolvido” na escolha do próximo líder do Irã após a morte do líder supremo Ali Khamenei. Em entrevista ao site Axios, Trump descartou a possibilidade de o filho do aiatolá, Mojtaba Khamenei, assumir o comando do país, chamando-o de “peso morto”. A guerra no Oriente Médio ganhou uma nova escalada após Israel bombardear os subúrbios ao sul de Beirute, no Líbano, depois de ordenar uma retirada inédita da população da região. Segundo os militares israelenses, foram realizadas 26 ondas de ataques durante a noite, atingindo centros de comando e depósitos de armas do Hezbollah. A ofensiva amplia o conflito iniciado há uma semana contra o Irã, com apoio dos Estados Unidos. O secretário de Defesa americano, Peter Hegseth, afirmou que os bombardeios contra o Irã devem aumentar “dramaticamente”. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã.

Today's Headlines: State Rep. James Talarico won the Democratic Senate primary with 53% over Rep. Jasmine Crockett and will face either Sen. John Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton, who are headed to a May 26 GOP runoff after neither cleared 50%. Rep. Dan Crenshaw was primaried from the right by state Rep. Steve Toth, while several incumbents were pushed into runoffs amid redistricting chaos, including Democrats Al Green and Christian Menefee facing each other and Republican Tony Gonzalez battling gun YouTuber Brandon Herrera. In other news, the Justice Department admitted it withheld 47,635 Jeffrey Epstein files after the Wall Street Journal flagged missing records. The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi and is seeking testimony from Epstein associates including Bill Gates and Leon Black. A federal judge ruled the IRS illegally shared taxpayer data with ICE in roughly 42,695 cases. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, already under scrutiny over a questionable $143 million DHS contract and internal leadership turmoil, faced more heat on Capitol Hill. ProPublica reports the Trump administration is loosening intelligence-sharing restrictions, aka making it easier to spy on us, without notifying Congress. Abroad, Iran's leadership transition is intensifying, with Mojtaba Khamenei emerging as a likely successor. President Donald Trump says the U.S. is “actively considering” its role after the conflict, as the Senate narrowly rejected a measure to require congressional approval for continued strikes.

From DC restaurants to nationwide enforcement, today's episode dives into how the Department of Homeland Security is cracking down on illegal employment. We explore Trump's legal battles, unprecedented circuit court victories, and how employers nationwide are scrambling to verify employee status. Plus, why this is sending Democrats into a panic. Episode Summary Today's episode uncovers a multi-layered fight over immigration enforcement, legal precedent, and illegal labor in America: Trump vs. Judges: The president faces more injunctions than any in U.S. history, mostly from liberal judges trying to block immigration enforcement. With a strong AG like Pam Bondi, Trump is winning key battles and finally gaining traction to enforce existing laws. IRS Data & Enforcement Breakthrough: A landmark circuit court decision allows DHS to use IRS data to target illegal employees—something previously blocked by activist judges. This has triggered panic in liberal media and among employers. Immediate Impact: Over 130 illegal employees at five DC restaurants were terminated after DHS letters demanded proof of legal work status. Employers across the nation are now under scrutiny. This is the first major enforcement since Bill Clinton's administration. Identity Fraud & Economic Impact: Illegal employment is linked to massive identity theft and economic consequences for Americans. Social Security number fraud is rampant among illegal workers, affecting multiple states and payroll systems. Welfare & Incentives: The episode examines how illegal immigrants have accessed welfare and Medicaid programs, and the Trump administration's efforts to cut these benefits while providing incentives—like plane tickets and cash bonuses—for voluntary return to home countries. Legal & Political Stakes: The crackdown highlights the ongoing battle with Democrat-controlled states over access to food stamp rolls, voter rolls, and enforcement cooperation. Americans are urged to stay engaged in the midterms to support these enforcement efforts. This episode lays out the legal, political, and operational strategies in the fight against illegal employment, showing how new enforcement powers are changing the game. Key Topics Department of Homeland Security enforcement letters & nationwide crackdown Circuit court victories for immigration enforcement Use of IRS and Social Security databases for illegal worker verification Illegal labor & identity fraud Welfare & public assistance for illegal immigrants Implications for Trump's broader immigration strategy Political stakes in the midterms

David Waldman, Greg Dworkin, and we are back for more. Pete Hic-seth promised Iran that the US would never fight fair, no stupid rules of engagement for us! Just ask the few surviving sailors on the Iranian warship IRIS Dena, sunk by torpedo, unarmed, returning from "professional exercises, seminars, social events and sporting fixtures" with India. If Iran wants the US to "bitterly regret" this, or anything that they are doing, they will need to ask themselves, "What would Pete Do?" Would Hegseth take out Gulf area desalination plants, endangering tens of millions of civilians? Pete doesn't even drink water, bro. This looks like a job for the Board of Peace! Paramount won't say whether Middle East money is funding its Warner Bros. Discovery deal., but the UAE never promised to fight fair either. And yet, the majority of Americans want a short war with no boots on the ground… Blah, blah, blah! Americans are so picky! Texas seems to be feeling a bit blue lately. Texas Dems are fired up and fired up about James Talarico. Jasmine Crockett did great for someone who did it so bad, but Talarico offered both style and substance, attaining Zohran Mamdanimentum. Anyone who doesn't do that won't make it out of their primaries. Gops have long ago learned how to deal with pesky primaries. Listen, if Donald K. Trump gets rid of Kristi Noem will you all leave him alone? What if he throws in Pam Bondi? Karoline Leavitt? No dudes leave though. That's too far.

The reporting about Suzie Wiles venting her frustrations now raises a sharper question: was this a genuine crash-out, or a carefully aimed targeted strike? On the surface, it looks like internal chaos spilling into public view, with Vanity Fair describing Wiles as openly disparaging Trump's behavior, likening his temperament to that of a drunk, and privately dismissing JD Vance as a long-time conspiracy theorist. Her subsequent pushback claims the comments were taken out of context, but she notably avoids directly denying the most explosive parts of the account. That selective rebuttal matters. A true crash-out is sloppy, emotional, and reckless. This leak, by contrast, appears curated, damaging in specific ways, and strategically incomplete, which raises the possibility that it was meant to land exactly where it did.That theory gains weight when the Epstein debacle is folded into the analysis, because it represents the administration's most visible and unifying failure. Vanity Fair's reporting paints a picture of an operation that badly fumbled the issue, with Pam Bondi taking heat but Trump ultimately owning the disaster. If this is a targeted strike, then Bondi and Kash Patel are the obvious targets—already unpopular, already under fire, and already being positioned as expendable. By letting internal contempt become public, Wiles helps redirect MAGA's fury away from Trump and toward figures who can be sacrificed to restore optics. That would give Trump the political breathing room to fire them while claiming course correction rather than culpability. So the question remains unresolved: are we witnessing an administration spiraling out of control, or a deliberate internal bombing run designed to set the stage for a purge? In Trumpworld, the answer may very well be both.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, a move that reflected growing frustration in Congress over what lawmakers say has been a deeply flawed and opaque disclosure process. The subpoena passed in a 24–19 vote, with several Republicans joining Democrats in demanding that Bondi appear before the committee to explain why the department missed legal deadlines and failed to release large portions of the Epstein records despite the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Lawmakers say that while the Justice Department released millions of pages of documents, investigators believe tens of thousands of files remain withheld or offline, raising serious concerns that the public has not been given the full picture. The vote to compel Bondi's testimony amounted to a rare bipartisan rebuke of the nation's top law-enforcement official and signaled mounting anger in Congress over what many members believe has been a pattern of evasion and incomplete disclosure.Critics have argued that Bondi's handling of the Epstein files has been marked by delays, contradictions, and combative responses to oversight rather than transparency. Lawmakers and investigators have accused the Justice Department under her leadership of missing mandated release deadlines, redacting or withholding key documents, and failing to provide clear explanations for why large portions of the records remain unavailable. During earlier congressional questioning, Bondi reportedly deflected direct questions about Epstein's accomplices and the status of ongoing investigations, which only deepened suspicions that the department may be shielding powerful figures connected to the case. The subpoena now forces Bondi to answer under oath about decisions that critics say have undermined confidence in the Justice Department's commitment to fully exposing Epstein's network. For many in Congress, the issue is no longer simply about document management—it is about whether the nation's top prosecutor has obstructed transparency in one of the most explosive criminal investigations in modern history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House panel votes to subpoena Pam Bondi for Epstein files testimonyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Host Gene reacts to Kristi Noem being moved out of DHS, defends ICE agents, and praises the quieter pick from Oklahoma. He argues Noem was unqualified and too performative for the role. Gene urges President Trump to remove Pam Bondi next, calling her actions and public theatrics damaging and inauthentic, and explains why the Republican Party needs less performative figures in key positions.

Onderzoekers van ETH Zürich en Anthropic hebben aangetoond dat AI anonieme online-accounts kan koppelen aan echte identiteiten, met een trefkans die traditionele methoden volledig in de schaduw stelt. De techniek werkt door taalgebruik, onderwerpen en gedragspatronen van een anoniem account te analyseren en daarvan een profiel op te bouwen. Dat profiel wordt vervolgens vergeleken met publieke data op andere platforms, zoals LinkedIn. De onderzoekers koppelden anonieme Hacker News-accounts aan LinkedIn-profielen met een slagingspercentage van 45 procent, bij de strengste nauwkeurigheidsinstelling. Methoden zonder AI komen niet verder dan 0,1 procent. Ook transcripties van anonieme interviews met wetenschappers boden geen bescherming: negen deelnemers werden alsnog geïdentificeerd op basis van hun woordkeuze en gesprekspatronen. De gevolgen reiken verder dan technische nieuwsgierigheid. In autoritaire landen vormt deze technologie een directe bedreiging voor activisten en journalisten die afhankelijk zijn van anonimiteit. Maar ook in democratische landen zijn de risico's reëel: bedrijven kunnen anonieme forumposts koppelen aan klantprofielen, en kwaadwillenden kunnen mensen traceren op basis van hun online activiteit. De onderzoekers roepen AI-bedrijven op om misbruik van hun modellen actief te detecteren en te beperken. Maar de kern van het probleem is structureel: zolang mensen consistent schrijven, consistent onderwerpen kiezen en consistent reageren, laten ze een herkenbaar digitaal spoor achter, ook zonder naam. Online anonimiteit is een stuk kwetsbaarder dan veel gebruikers beseffen. En de drempel om die anonimiteit te doorbreken, is met AI drastisch verlaagd.

Initial shock has given way to grave concerns as the US and Israel's joint attack on Iran continue, stepping both countries into a war without a clear goal, end date or exit strategy. To help explain where congressional powers lie and the limits of executive authority, Mary and Andrew call upon Tess Bridgeman, international law expert and Co-Editor-in-Chief of "Just Security”. Tess stakes out the scope of the 1973 War Powers Resolution, and why Congress is meant to be the body that decides if, and when the US commits to armed conflict with another nation state. Then, Mary and Andrew turn focus to a few immigration updates, as more judges chastise the government for continually violating court orders, and a Columbia student is detained by ICE under false pretenses. Last up, the co-hosts turn to the decision in the case involving whether a journalist's devices seized while executing a search warrant could be searched. Plus: the Trump administration's decision to stand down on defending Trump's sanctions against law firms— only to do a seeming about face the next day.

"They're not sending their best." Rachel Maddow reviews how the collection of unqualified culture warriors Donald Trump has put in charge of key facets of the United States national security apparatus is much worse than merely incompetent now that Trump has started a war with Iran and stoked a new level of threat against Americans and American interests. MS NOW's Carol Leonnig reports on new firings at the FBI that included members of an elite counterintelligence squad specializing in neutralizing threats from Iran. The firings came just before Trump started a war with Iran, setting up a whole new threat environment for Americans and American interests. Senator Tammy Duckworth joins Rachel to discuss Donald Trump's incoherent explanation for attacking Iran and the burden America's men and women in uniform are taking on for Trump's whim. And Donald Trump's Justice Department under Pam Bondi is in trouble with a judge again. Want more of Rachel?

Attorney General Pam Bondi took to Capitol Hill with her burn book in hand and a message to Congress, the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the American people: Shut up, the Dow hit 50,000. She was right about the Dow Jones Industrial performance until the next day, when stocks dumped out on news that AI might be real and that the economy added 400,000 fewer jobs last year than we originally thought. That’s the thing about building an entire narrative around the stock market. The stock market is not the economy. And the victims of Epstein’s crimes deserve better.

The current state of national security is under scrutiny as the Department of Justice and FBI face significant internal changes. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are overseeing a systematic removal of experienced personnel, specifically targeting those involved in previous high profile investigations. This purge has resulted in the loss of elite agents within the CI12 unit who possess critical expertise regarding Iran and global espionage. The timing of these firings is particularly concerning given the recent escalation of military conflict and the launch of Operation Epic Fury. While conventional military strikes dominate the news, the silent threat of cyber warfare looms. Iran is recognized for its advanced cyber capabilities, often retaliating through malware and intrusions into critical infrastructure like water systems and energy networks. The loss of institutional memory and veteran leadership, including figures like Steve Jensen and Brian Driscoll, leaves domestic defenses in a state of disarray. Loyalty tests and political questionnaires have replaced professional merit, leading to a decline in morale and a potential breakdown in intelligence sharing with international allies. Google's threat intelligence experts warn that global cyber attacks are inevitable. As the FBI's foreign influence task force is disbanded and leadership roles remain vacant, the ability to connect the dots and prevent future incidents is severely compromised. The focus on personal retribution over national safety has created a vulnerable attack surface, leaving the country exposed during a period of intense Middle East volatility.

Clay Edwards is joined by Andrew Gasser for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the newly released four-and-a-half-hour Bill and Hillary Clinton deposition in the Epstein files.   Bill Clinton clears Donald Trump, drops a bombshell about his first Epstein Island trip being with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and his wife, and sounds exhausted while trying to play contrite. Hillary, by contrast, throws full girl-boss tantrums and gets exposed in classic fashion. The guys react to the “devil mask” moment, dissect why Bill threw Trump the pardon olive branch, and explain what Frazzle Drip actually is (yes, they go there).   Andrew and Clay also tackle the bigger picture: why single-issue Epstein voters are ready to burn everything down, Pam Bondi's lack of urgency, the collapse of trust in institutions, and why abandoning Trump or sitting out the midterms over this would hand the left exactly what they want.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into a monumental shift in U.S. military strategy as President Trump confirms a decisive operation against Iran, targeting key figures in the Iranian regime, including the notorious Ayatollah Khamenei. John Solomon outlines the implications of this bold move, emphasizing the strategic objectives of degrading Iran's military capabilities and creating conditions for potential regime change from within.To kick off the discussion, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer joins us to dissect the critical importance of messaging during military operations. He sheds light on the President's communication strategy and addresses misconceptions surrounding the War Powers Act, clarifying the legal frameworks that govern such military actions.Next, we welcome Fred Fleitz, former Chief of Staff to the National Security Council, who predicted the timing and intent of the operation. Fred provides insights into the long-term goals of empowering the Iranian people while minimizing U.S. military involvement.Democratic pollster Doug Schoen rounds out our expert panel, sharing his perspective on the political landscape regarding Iran. With decades of experience, Schoen discusses why he believes the Democratic Party is misaligned on this issue and expresses his support for the President's decisive action.Additionally, we touch on the concerning issue of Iranian nationals entering the U.S. illegally, highlighting testimony from Pam Bondi that raises alarms about potential sleeper cells within our borders.Finally, our friends from NativePath join to give us their weekly health update.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 65: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: We rejoin your regularly scheduled Trump-Epstein Cover-up Scandal Show, already in progress! Trump’s disastrous attack on Iran – approved by only 27% of America and barely HALF OF REPUBLICANS, so DIDN'T move the needle that Trumpstein has erupted anew in New Mexico: The former Attorney General essentially accuses the Trump Department of Justice of SABOTAGING his investigation of Epstein’s Zorro Sex Trafficking Ranch in 2019; of telling him ‘we’ll just take it from here’ and instead burying it. They took all the evidence and simply did nothing. When New Mexico went back a year later and said 'seize the ranch, preserve the evidence' they were again ignored. And after a New York Times deep dive on all the non-sex allegations and involvements, an entire new Epstein realm has opened up: what about the thousands of Epstein's non-sex crimes and co-conspirators? Why hasn't Trump prosecuted them? Plus, all the attack on Iran did was remind the world that if WE can try REGIME CHANGE in other countries, what’s to stop OTHER COUNTRIES from trying REGIME CHANGE? And I’ll say it again: They called it ‘Operation Epic Fury’ because ‘Operation Epstein Diversion’ didn’t sound War-fightery enough. And media fails us yet again: CNN will now go the same Bari Weiss Way of CBS. Then again it was three-quarters dead already, and the real crisis is MS-NOW's president thought the future of her network (basically unchanged since we spun off my guest hosts Maddow, O'Donnell and Hayes to give them new shows in 2010) was...Anderson Cooper LOL.

NPR reported: "Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump." It sure looks like Pam Bondi's DOJ learned NOTHING from Watergate. What's the most important lesson from the Watergate scandal: 'if the crime don't get you, the cover-up will.' And yet, at Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, the great Epstein files cover-up continues.Remember Richard Nixon and Attorney General John Mitchell?

Rachel Maddow considering the tradition associated with the State of the Union address in which one member of the president's Cabinet does not attend the event in case something happens that prevents everyone in attendance at the speech who would ordinarily be part of the presidential succession from being able to serve.

Pat Ryan discusses rallying local resistance against Donald Trump's planned network of ICE prisons. Rachel Maddow reports on an important sign of light for the rule of law: federal judges losing patience with Donald Trump's Department of Justice for repeatedly defying orders, particularly in immigration cases.    Want more of Rachel?
