US President-elect Donald Trump tapped Pam Bondi, a staunch ally who helped defend the ex-leader against impeachment, as US Attorney-General following firebrand Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from the running. Gaetz's retreat amid sexual misconduct allegations signalled limits to Trump's power, even as the President-elect prepares to retake the White House with his Republican Party also in control of both chambers of Congress. The nomination of Bondi, a former Florida Attorney-General who served as a surrogate during the 2024 campaign and pushed to delegitimise vote counting in swing state Pennsylvania in 2020, could be seen as a useful tool for Trump in his attempt to settle personal grievances. “For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponised against me and other Republicans – Not anymore,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social network in announcing Bondi's nomination. Bondi, 59, was a member of Trump's legal team during his first Senate impeachment trial, in which he was alleged to have pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, using aid as leverage, to hand over political dirt on Biden. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again,” Trump wrote, adding that she is “smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter”. Trump has made several eye-catching selections for top roles, including Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Defence Secretary, vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy jnr as Health Secretary and billionaire Elon Musk to head a government cost-cutting unit. The exit of Gaetz, 42, was the first setback for Trump and Vice-President-elect JD Vance in placing key allies in top positions, but his confirmation by the Senate was widely seen as doomed because of lack of support from fellow Republicans. A congressional panel has been investigating alleged illegal activity by Gaetz, including sexual contact with a 17-year-old girl – which he denies – as well as drug use and misappropriating campaign funds. “I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday,” Gaetz said on X. “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.” Gaetz was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2016 and won reelection recently, but he resigned as a congressman shortly after Trump picked him to be Attorney-General. “Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do,” Trump said in response to his withdrawal. The ethics probe into Gaetz, a deeply polarising Florida congressman, was effectively ended after he resigned from the House. Gaetz is known as a political disruptor who earned the enmity of some House colleagues, including by engineering the ouster of fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy as speaker last year. The latest transition upheaval ahead of Trump's inauguration on January 20 came as new lurid details emerged about Defence Secretary nominee Hegseth. He was investigated for sexual assault after a complaint from an unnamed woman at a 2017 conference in California. The New York Times reported details from the police investigation, which was closed without Hegseth being charged. The married woman told officers that her memory of the episode was hazy and thought her drink might have been spiked, while Hegseth said the encounter was consensual. - Agence France-Presse LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Representative Matt Gaetz is one of the most outspoken critics of the status quo in Washington, which he demonstrated most recently by playing a key role in removing fellow-Republican Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. How was Gaetz able to pull off such a feat given his deep unpopularity in Congress, and the fact that he's under a House Ethics Committee investigation for the sex trafficking of a minor? The New Yorker staff writer Dexter Filkins, who recently profiled Gaetz in the magazine, joins Tyler Foggatt to explore the congressman's motivations, including how fractured party politics have played a role in his rise to fame. “The party has to decide what it is,” Filkins says. “It's not what it used to be, and it's rapidly becoming something else. . . . In the interregnum, we're seeing all these morbid symptoms as the party kind of convulses and tries to figure out its new identity.”

It's been over 20 days since the United States has had a Speaker of the House. Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted by the right flank of his party earlier this month, and the tumultuous race for a new Speaker has revealed deep divisions in the Republican party. On Tuesday morning, House Republicans selected Tom Emmer, the majority whip from Minnesota, as their next man up. He's the third nominee the GOP has offered up in the past three weeks, after Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan each failed to secure enough Republican votes to win on the House floor. And with conflict brewing in the Middle East and government shutdown looming on the horizon, House Republicans have left Congress in paralysis with their inability to elect a speaker.  For the midweek podcast, OTM correspondent Micah Loewinger speaks with Brian Rosenwald, a Scholar in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Talk Radio's America: How an Industry Took Over a Political Party That Took Over the United States, about how the long-deteriorating relationship between conservative media and the GOP led us to this point.

Republican Kevin McCarthy makes American history being the first Speaker of the house to be fired. KCSB's Ashley Segat explains the events leading up to his ousting and the House's next steps.

Republican Kevin McCarthy makes American history being the first Speaker of the house to be fired. KCSB's Ashley Segat explains the events leading up to his ousting and the House's next steps.

*) US House ousts Kevin McCarthy as speaker in historic vote A rare and dramatic scenario played out in the US congress when senior Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted as US House speaker by his own party members. This came after Democrats announced that they would not bail him out of a move by Trump loyalists to remove McCarthy from the powerful post. McCarthy sparked fury among some Republicans when he worked with Democrats to pass a stopgap funding measure to avert a government shutdown. The Speaker is the top Republican and second in line of succession to the US presidency. *) Azerbaijan arrests top separatists as it takes total control of Karabakh Authorities in Azerbaijan have arrested several former separatist leaders of Karabakh after reclaiming control of the Armenian-occupied region in a lightning military operation last month. This is according to a top Azerbaijani news agency. The wave of arrests comes as Azerbaijani authorities move swiftly to establish their control over the region after a military operation that put an end to the illegal Armenian occupation in the region. *) Nearly two dozen Indian soldiers missing as flash floods hit hill state The Indian army has said that 23 soldiers are missing after a powerful flash flood caused by intense rainfall tore through a valley in the north east. The army said water released upstream from the Chungthang dam meant the river was already more than 4.5 metres higher than usual. Intermittent rain and thundershowers were hampering rescue operations in the area, according to an army official. *) Bus crash near Italy's Venice city leaves nearly two dozen dead A bus carrying foreign tourists has crashed near the Italian city of Venice, killing at least 21 people and injuring 18 others. According to officials, two of the dead were children and four of the injured were in serious condition following the accident on the mainland opposite the historic old city of Venice. Firefighters said the bus caught fire after careering off a bridge straddling a railway line. *) Galatasaray stun Man United with historic 3-2 win Galatasaray have beaten Manchester United 3-2 in a UEFA Champions League match, marking a historic win for the Turkish powerhouse. Galatasaray won the five-goal thriller in the Theatre of Dreams to move to second place in the group. The Turkish team has four points. Meanwhile, Man United are at the bottom of the group after losing their second match in a row.

In a historic vote, Republican Kevin McCarthy has been ousted as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives (2:38). Passenger numbers have surged as Chinese travelers enjoy an extended holiday period (10:09). And China has expressed strong opposition to a European anti-subsidy investigation involving Chinese-made new energy vehicles (19:19).

SPEAKER VOTE CHAOS - The US House of Representatives is now entering uncharted territory after Republican Kevin McCarthy lost his job as the Speaker of the House yesterday. The motion to vacate from Rep. Matt Gaetz passed Tuesday with the support of eight hardline Republicans and all the Democrats present and voting. Without a Speaker of the House, Congress is essentially paralyzed because lawmakers can't pass legislation or conduct any business until a new leader is selected. We break down what's next in this process and how long congressional business may be on hold.

Republican Matt Gaetz files a motion to remove Republican Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Oct. 4 at 6:50 a.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — The House of Representatives has entered uncharted territory after the success of a last-ditch, right-wing effort to remove fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy from the speakership. A resolution called a motion to vacate was brought forward by Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz and passed Tuesday with the support of eight Republicans and every Democrat present. The effort makes McCarthy the first speaker in history to be removed from office. McCarthy's subsequent announcement he would not run for the job again clears the path for any Republican to jump in. Some members, including Gaetz, have been broaching potential consensus candidates like Majority Leader Steve Scalise or Whip Tom Emmer who they believe could bring the conference together. STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three scientists have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on quantum dots. Those are tiny particles that can release very bright colored light and are used in electronics and medical imaging. Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Alexei Ekimov were honored Wednesday for their work with the particles just a few atoms in diameter and that spread their light from television screens and LED lamps. Quantum dots' electrons have constrained movement, and this affects how they absorb and release visible light, allowing for very bright colors. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has announced another $9 billion in federal student loan debt forgiveness. The relief will be provided through existing programs. The details were provided by the White House on Wednesday. Biden has been under pressure to fulfill his promises on student debt relief even though his original plan was overturned by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court. In total, 3.6 million borrowers will have had $127 billion in debt wiped out since the Democratic president took office. The White House says Biden believes college should be a ticket to the middle class, not a burden weighing on families. Republicans have fought Biden's plans on student debt. BALTIMORE (AP) — Officials say at least five people have been wounded, none critically, in a shooting at Morgan State University in Baltimore that happened as students were headed to a homecoming week campus ball. A shelter-in-place order was lifted around 12:30 a.m. Police Commissioner Richard Worley said the five victims, four men and one woman, are between the ages of 18 and 22, but police released no information on suspects and said they did not know how many shooters were involved. Morgan State University President David Wilson said he had canceled Wednesday's classes, and would hold an emergency meeting Wednesday morning to decide whether to hold other homecoming week events. ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he's traveling to Latin America to discourage people from seeking asylum in the city as it struggles to handle a massive influx of migrants. The Democratic mayor detailed the trip in a news conference Tuesday. He says he wants to give an honest assessment of the situation and tell people in the region that the city's shelter system has been overwhelmed and is at capacity. Adams has made a series of urgent pleas for a shift in federal immigration policy and for funding to help the city manage the arrival of migrants. VENICE (AP) — A bus carrying dozens of people plummeted 50 feet from an elevated road in Venice, causing a fiery crash that killed 21 people and injured at least 15 mostly foreign tourists returning to a nearby campsite. Those who died in the crash Tuesday night included at least four Ukrainians and a German citizen, according to Venice prefecture. At least two of the dead were children. The new, electric bus was carrying foreign tourists when it fell from an elevated street on Tuesday evening, catching fire. The driver was killed. A Venice city councilor said he was an experienced driver and local prosecutors are investigating if he felt ill. The Rangers and Twins win their American League Wild Card openers, while the Diamondbacks and Phillies do the same in the National League. On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Oct. 3 at 3:30 p.m. CT; updated at 4 p.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been voted out of the job in an extraordinary showdown, a first in U.S. history. The 216-210 vote was forced by a contingent of hard-right conservatives and throws the House and its Republican leadership into chaos. McCarthy's chief rival, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, brought forward the “motion to vacate,” drawing together more than a handful of conservative Republican critics of the speaker and many Democrats who say he is unworthy of leadership. Next steps are uncertain, but there is no obvious successor to lead the House Republican majority. NEW YORK (AP) — A judge has imposed a limited gag order on President Donald Trump after he disparaged a key court staffer during his civil business fraud trial. Judge Arthur Engoron issued the order Tuesday. The order applies to all parties in the case and pertains only to verbal attacks on court staff. It came after Trump recirculated a disparaging social media post about Engoron's principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield. Trump then deleted the post. WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty in Delaware to three federal firearms charges filed after the implosion of an earlier deal to resolve a long-running investigation. The California resident's Tuesday plea sets the case on a track toward a possible trial in 2024 while President Joe Biden is running for reelection. The Democratic president's son has been charged with lying about his drug use in 2018 on a form to buy a gun he kept for about 11 days. He could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. A judge asked Hunter Biden if he understood the charges against him, and Biden replied: “Yes, Your Honor.” WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Joe Biden has been in touch with U.S. allies and partners to discuss continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Tuesday's conversation came after Biden signed legislation late Saturday to keep the U.S. government funded. The bill did not include billions in aid for Ukraine that he had requested. The Republican-controlled House dropped the Ukraine aid request as a concession to growing opposition among GOP lawmakers. Poland's president told reporters after the call that Biden assured the leaders that backing exists for continuing U.S. support to Ukraine. TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan has issued a weather alert as Typhoon Koinu is approaching and may make landfall later this week, bringing gales and downpours to the southeastern parts of the island. The weather bureau put out a land warning on Tuesday after issuing a sea alert late Monday. Koinu was moving northwest with sustained winds of 101 mph near its center, according to the bureau. Forecasters expected it to bring strong winds and downpours to southern and eastern parts of Taiwan early Wednesday and potentially make landfall in the southeastern part of the island on Thursday. WASHINGTON (AP) — Former union leader and Democratic insider Laphonza Butler has been sworn in as the newest member of the U.S. Senate, replacing California Sen. Dianne Feinstein after her death and becoming only the third Black female senator in history. Butler was appointed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday, just two days after Feinstein died at her home in Washington. Butler is a longtime fundraiser and strategist in the state's Democratic circles and was the head of Emily's List, a national organization that raises money for women candidates who support abortion rights. Butler was sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris, who served as the second Black female senator. Donald Trump's campaign is calling on the Republican National Committee to cancel all remaining presidential primary debates. In a statement late Monday, top Trump advisers say the RNC must instead “refocus its manpower” on defeating Joe Biden next year. The statement also repeats debunked falsehoods about election fraud, claiming without evidence that Democrats are working to steal the 2024 election. Trump has maintained the lie that the 2020 election was stolen, despite multiple legal cases, investigations and his own attorney general finding no fraud. The RNC didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Rival Ron DeSantis' campaign says Trump should show up to debate and that the U.S. “needs a president who will fight for them anywhere, in any forum.” TORONTO (AP) — An official says India has told Canada to remove 41 of its 62 diplomats in the country, ramping up a confrontation over Canadian accusations that India may have been involved in the killing of a Sikh separatist leader in suburban Vancouver. The official spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of public reaction from the Canadian government later Tuesday. The official confirmed an earlier report from the Financial Times. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said there were “credible allegations” of Indian involvement in the slaying of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a 45-year-old Sikh leader who was killed by masked gunmen in June WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Zoo's three giant pandas are set to return to China in December with no public signs the 50-year-old exchange agreement struck by President Richard Nixon will continue. There are diplomatic tensions between China and a number of Western governments. And China appears to be gradually pulling back its pandas from Western zoos as their agreements expire. The departure of the bears from the nation's capital would mean the only giant pandas left in America are at the Atlanta Zoo — and that agreement expires next year. Panda-philes visiting the Washington zoo say they're making plans to visit Atlanta next summer to see those pandas before they leave. DENVER (AP) — Colorado's highest court says it will hear the case of a Christian baker who refused to make a cake celebrating a gender transition. The decision announced Tuesday comes after a U.S. Supreme Court victory this summer for a graphic artist who didn't want to design wedding websites for same-sex couples. Baker Jack Phillips won a partial victory before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 in another case after refusing to make a gay couple's wedding cake. He was later sued by a transgender woman after he refused to make her cake to celebrate her gender transition. WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas is back at work after being carjacked by three armed attackers less than a mile from the Capitol. Cuellar said Tuesday he was “good” and even joked about the frightening experience, saying his car was recovered but what really upset him was that they had taken his sushi. The Democrat says the robbers “came out of nowhere" and pointed guns at him. Monday night's carjacking is the second assault on a member of Congress in the District of Columbia this year. In February, Minnesota Democrat Angie Craig was assaulted in her apartment building. Craig suffered bruises while escaping serious injury. DETROIT (AP) — Stellantis is recalling nearly 273,000 trucks in the U.S. because the radio software can stop the rear view camera image from being displayed. The recall announced Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators covers certain Ram 1500 pickup trucks and some Ram 3500 chassis cabs from the 2022 and 2023 model years. Also covered are 2022 through 2024 Ram 2500 trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says a rear view display without an image reduces a driver's view and increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the radio software at no cost to owners, who will be notified by letter starting Nov. 17. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army is launching a sweeping overhaul of its recruiting to focus more on young people who've spent time in college or are job hunting early in their careers. The Army's aim is to reverse years of enlistment shortfalls. A major part of this is the formation of a new professional force of recruiters instead of relying on soldiers assigned to the task. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth tells The Associated Press some of the changes will begin in the next 90 days but a wholesale transformation to turn around years of decline is several years in the making. Wormuth says the Army hasn't met its annual goal for new enlistment contracts since 2014. DETROIT (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court has turned down an appeal and cleared the way for the parents of the Oxford High School shooter to face trial on involuntary manslaughter charges. James and Jennifer Crumbley are accused of making a gun available to Ethan Crumbley and ignoring his mental health needs. The state appeals court in March said the couple could face trial, and the Supreme Court says it will let that decision stand. Ethan Crumbley killed four fellow students and injured seven other people at Oxford High in November 2021. A judge last week said he's eligible for life in prison without parole. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

On Tuesday, U.S. House Speaker, Republican Kevin McCarthy announced he is launching a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Republicans accuse Biden and his son, Hunter, of business dealings that benefited their family while he was Vice President. Though McCarthy says he is acting on “credible allegations” that Biden is entrenched in “a culture of corruption,” months of committee investigations led by the GOP failed to uncover any evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Today, CBC Washington Correspondent Paul Hunter joins the show to discuss the inquiry, the allegations, and the politics driving it all.

Today we're recapping the speaker of the House ordeal, in which Republican Kevin McCarthy faced 15 rounds of votes before he was finally elected.

On this version of Hot off the Wire (posted Jan. 9 at 7 a.m. CT): New guidelines suggest children struggling with obesity should be evaluated and treated early and aggressively. The American Academy of Pediatrics says treatments can include medication for kids as young as 12 and surgery for those as young as 13. President Joe Biden wrapped up a four-hour visit to the U.S.-Mexico border and is facing criticism from Republicans over his administration's policies. Brazilian authorities were picking up pieces and investigating after thousands of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro's supporters stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace then trashed the nation's highest seats of power. California was hit with more turbulent weather as thunderstorms, snow and damaging winds swept into the northern part the state.

An historic stalemate is playing out in the fight over speaker of the House. The last time it took more than one round of voting to fill the top job in the House of Representatives the year was 1923. This week Republican Kevin McCarthy has fallen short on ballot after ballot (9 at the time of publication). Democrats predictably lined up behind minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, but it was actually a handful of far-right GOP lawmakers who have thwarted McCarthy's bid. They continued to nominate and vote for other candidates, including former president Donald Trump, even as McCarthy's camp promised concessions like positions for Freedom Caucus members on powerful committees. Veteran journalist Susan Page has covered dozens of votes for speaker, but never one like this. She joined Diane to discuss what this fight says about the Republican party – and politics in America today.

Then we took our listener's calls about how they feel regarding the ability of this Congress to effectively legislate for the next two years in the wake of the Republican's inability to choose a leader. Then we broke programming and broadcast President Joe Biden's announcement that he is expanding the government's efforts to deport immigrants who cross the U.S. southern border illegally Following President Biden's remarks, Boston Globe Business Columnist Shirley Leung came on to discuss her interviews with local reporters Janet Wu and Alison King on their long and storied careers in local media. She also discussed some of her recent columns of efforts to mitigate homelessness in the city. Then Rebekah Gewirtz, the president of Massachusetts chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, came on to discuss the state's new Behavioral Health Hotline. The new service connects callers with social workers who then directly connect people to mental health and substance use medical providers. GBH News Political Reporter Adam Reilly came into the studio and political reporter Katie Lannan called in from the statehouse to discuss the historic inauguration of Governor Maura Healey, the first woman and openly gay person to be elected as Governor of Massachusetts. The two discussed some of the focus of Healey's speech, including housing, income equality and climate change.

The latest polls show President Biden's approval rating improving and Democrats closing the gap with Republicans in the coming midterm elections. Still, it seems likely that another Californian will become Speaker of the House this fall, Republican Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield Democrats now seem poised to retain control of the US Senate, but still lose control of the House. Their outlook has improved; instead of a blowout loss with the GOP gaining 30 or 40 seats, it now looks like a narrower victory for the Republicans, with perhaps 15 or 20 seats flipping, but that would be enough to give McCarthy's party the gavel. For more on this, we are joined live today on the KCBS Ring Central Newsline by Sonoma State political science professor and department chair DAVID MCCUAN.

Guests: Betsy Woodruff Swan, Rep. Pete Aguilar, Michael Steele, Barbara McQuade, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Andy SlavittTonight: The extraordinary letter from the January 6th committee to Kevin McCarthy, why they're investigating his conversations with Trump before during and after the insurrection, and why it has serious implications for the top House Republican. Plus, Senator Elizabeth Warren on the new strategy for Democrats to pass voting rights. And what looks like seriously encouraging data on the omicron surge. 

The January 6th Commission has become a joke. First, Republican Kevin McCarthy appoints 5 Republicans. Then, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vetoes two choices. Then, McCarthy pulls all 5 Republicans. Yup. We also talk about new developments on COVID today including a Cali county that has revised their COVID death count DOWN.
