This week Jackie Broyles and Dunlap yell about: Trump's birthday White House UFC fight NYT Haberman article on Situation Room Epstein Panic featuring JD Vance, Susie Wiles, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and more! Who's the smartest? (None of them.) Who cares about the victims? (None of them.)  Plus: the Iran war is over/still rages; Trump brags about bomb costs; Pete Hegseth says Mormons ain't Christian, uses D-Day to smug-holler about invading migrant hordes in Europe; and Tennessee's new law requireds immigrant children receiving medical care (Cancer! Heart disease! Diabetes care!) to get reported to ICE if they want to keep receiving medicine, which they won't, because then they'll be deported. Jesus Loves The Little Children? All the children of the world? Not Tennessee Jesus, I reckon. Plus Trump's name comes off the Kennedy Center (we're all paying for this stuff), Trump sleeps at the Knicks game, Chuck Norris, dirt bikes, Medicaid cuts. Red Neck Matinee episode on Breaker!

The two ask the question nobody in power wants asked out loud: if Donald Trump orders a strike on Iran, will the military actually carry it out? They trace the madman theory back to Nixon's Watergate breakdown, poke holes in the suspiciously cinematic tale of the rescued pilot, and follow the Epstein story behind the curtain, where JD Vance, Dan Bongino, and Susie Wiles sang to reporters while Pam Bondi got shoved under the bus for promising files the White House never intended to release. It all points to an administration that can't contain its own contradictions, let alone a war. The guys close with what they're watching, including Bradley Cooper's latest and the marketing blitz around Disclosure Day.

Pam Bondi's congressional transcript showed her trying to defend the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files while repeatedly distancing herself from the day-to-day mechanics of the review. She told House Oversight lawmakers that Todd Blanche was the official “in charge” of the Epstein records process, saying she did not personally conduct the document review and that the work had been delegated to him. Bondi acknowledged that mistakes were made, including redaction problems, but framed the release as a massive and difficult undertaking rather than a deliberate attempt to obstruct transparency. At the same time, she insisted the department was committed to accountability, even as lawmakers pressed her on why the disclosures remained incomplete, flawed, or slow-moving.The transcript also showed Bondi trying to avoid directly blaming Blanche while making clear that he was the person managing the release. She praised him as ethical and capable, but Democrats seized on her answers as evidence that Blanche, along with other DOJ and FBI officials, should be brought before Congress to explain the process in detail. Bondi also said she learned about Ghislaine Maxwell's prison transfer from news reports, denied involvement in that decision, rejected the idea of a Maxwell pardon, and refused to discuss private conversations with Donald Trump. The result was a transcript that did not settle the Epstein files controversy, but instead widened the accountability fight by making clear that Congress still does not have a clean answer on who controlled the review, why errors happened, and whether the public has truly received the full record.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Final-Bondi-Transcript.pdf

Victoria Taft deconstructs a week of absolute systemic madness. First, we head to the nation's capital where Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee drop a massive bombshell: a superseding indictment and testimony alleging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) literally paid over $4 million to manufacture hate groups, buy KKK robes, and bankroll the coordinators behind the infamous 2017 Charlottesville riots.Next, we dive deep into the deliberate structural layout turning West Coast voting systems into a permanent progressive playground. Then, a quick Iran SITREP reveals how a cutting-edge autonomous drone boat engineered by a former Navy SEAL pulled off a cinematic rescue of two U.S. Army Apache pilots in the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, we look at "Epstein Thursday" with newly unsealed deposition transcripts from Pam Bondi and Harmeet Dillon, exposing raw congressional grandstanding, and a voluntary appearance by Bill Gates that turned into a total Capitol Hill circus.

A federal judge carried on a two-year affair with a high-ranking law enforcement officer by having sex in chambers and lying about it to investigators. The Eleventh Circuit responded with a private reprimand, concealing the judge's identity. But the judges didn't think through their anonymization strategy nearly well enough and AI cracked the case in minutes, revealing Judge Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia. Meanwhile, in lawyer ethics, a bar complaint in New York focuses on Todd Blanche, citing the ruling out of Tennessee finding a presumptively vindictive prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And down in Florida, the scores of former judges and other professionals behind the complaint against Pam Bondi -- that Florida previously punted, claiming that it couldn't investigate a sitting Attorney General -- renewed the call, noting that Bondi may be many things, but she's definitely not the Attorney General anymore.

President Donald Trump officially nominated Todd Blanche to serve as Attorney General. After firing Pam Bondi back in April, Trump went with his former defense attorney to lead more than 10,000 attorneys. And it seems pretty clear why: Trump wants someone to do exactly what he wants. Like prosecute his political enemies or set up a 1.776 billion dollar MAGA "anti-weaponization" fund. But by doing Trump's bidding, Blanche has made many of his own enemies. So what does that mean for Trump's legal agenda? To find out, we spoke with Ken White. He's a former federal prosecutor, partner at Brown White & Osborn LLP, and co-host of the podcast Serious Trouble.And in headlines, Trump blames Iran for shooting down a U.S. Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, a new study on alcohol confirms our worst fears, and a federal judge strikes down the Trump administration's $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas.Show Notes: Check out Serious Trouble – www.serioustrouble.show/podcast Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Pam Bondi has made the Epstein problem worse because she turned what should have been a sober, victim-centered document process into a rolling credibility disaster. She helped raise expectations with public talk about Epstein material being ready for release, including the now-infamous “client list” confusion, only for the DOJ to later walk that back and say no such list existed. The first “phase” of files was hyped as transparency but largely consisted of previously known or leaked material, and the rollout became a political spectacle involving binders, influencers, and media theater instead of a disciplined legal accounting. That alone damaged trust, because people who already believed the government was hiding something were handed a perfect example of sloppy messaging, overpromising, and underdelivering.Her handling of herself since then has been just as damaging. When pressed by Congress, Bondi defended the DOJ's overall handling while distancing herself from the details, saying Todd Blanche led the Epstein-file release and that she had delegated the process to him. She admitted redaction mistakes but tried to frame the broader effort as transparent, even as reporting has shown that DOJ errors exposed sensitive victim information and intensified harassment against survivors. That is the core failure: instead of restoring confidence, Bondi's posture has looked like a mix of blame-shifting, legal dodging, and political self-preservation. In a case where the government's credibility was already hanging by a thread, she managed to make the public question not only what was being withheld, but whether the people in charge even understood the gravity of what they were handling.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

President Trump is formally nominating acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to take over the DOJ post permanently. But the road to confirmation will be plagued by challenges and hurdles from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. You'll remember that Blache was the president's former personal defense lawyer and has served as head of the Justice Department since Pam Bondi left the post in April. Inside Sources discusses some of the controversies surrounding Blanche and why some lawmakers say they can't support him.

Pam Bondi told House Oversight lawmakers that Todd Blanche, who served as her deputy at the Justice Department and whom Donald Trump plans to nominate as attorney general, was “in charge” of the DOJ's handling and release of the Epstein files. Bondi said she did not personally conduct the document review and had delegated oversight of the process to Blanche, even as she defended the department's broader handling of the records. Her testimony came amid continued criticism from lawmakers and survivors over redactions, disclosure mistakes, and the department's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Bondi acknowledged that there had been redaction errors, but insisted the department had been committed to accountability and transparency.The testimony also showed Bondi trying to walk a narrow line: distancing herself from the operational mistakes while denying that she was blaming Blanche. She praised him as ethical and described the review as a “Herculean task,” but the transcript backed up Democratic lawmakers' claim that she repeatedly pointed to Blanche as the person managing the release. Bondi also said she learned about Ghislaine Maxwell's controversial prison transfer from news reports and had nothing to do with it, rejected the idea of a Maxwell pardon, and refused to discuss private conversations with Trump. Afterward, Democrats urged House Oversight Chair James Comer to bring in Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel for questioning as the Epstein files fight continued to widen.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Pam Bondi claims Todd Blanche was ‘in charge' of ‘entire release' of Epstein files | Pam Bondi | The Guardian

It appears accountability is catching up to Pam Bondi. A compelling and damning complaint has been filed with the Florida State bar, detailing a mountain of unethical conduct by Bondi while she was serving as Attorney General. Glenn reviews some of the contents of the ethics complaint against her.

Today's Headlines: Trump had a rough weekend legally — a federal judge blocked the Traitor Fund in response to a lawsuit from a fired January 6th prosecutor, and another judge ordered Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center within two weeks on the grounds that he never had legal authority to put it there. Trump responded by posting he has "no interest" in the Kennedy Center anymore and threatening to cancel his own America 250 celebration, which is already in freefall after nearly every performer dropped out once they realized it was Trump's birthday rally and not the legitimate congressional celebration — leaving Vanilla Ice, Kid Rock, and eventually Trump himself as the headline act for anyone who paid $1.5 million for a VIP package expecting a concert. On the Iran beat, Trump is requesting edits to the deal his own negotiators already agreed to, with a senior official explaining the response will take three days because…caves. The Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark escalated to a mandatory curfew for the surrounding half-mile, with ICE in riot gear pepper spraying protesters while detainees continue a 10-day hunger strike over conditions that remain uncorrected. Pam Bondi's Epstein testimony was exactly as useless as expected — she blamed Todd Blanche, refused to answer Trump-related questions, and wasn't under oath — so the House Oversight Committee is now going after Blanche directly. In AI-is-a-scam news, a Pizza Hut franchisee is suing corporate for $100 million after a mandatory AI rollout tanked delivery times, and Starbucks scrapped its AI inventory system after nine months because it could not count milk — hallucinating bottles that weren't there — which is a real thing that happened with technology that costs more than a person with eyes. And finally, a three-foot meteorite may have landed in Cape Cod Bay on Saturday, with a double boom heard from Delaware to Montreal, which would normally be bigger news if we had any remaining capacity for surprise.
