Gaetz OUT Bondi IN and the Left already Attacking her, YET Al Sharpton says "She's Qualified" · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with the big news, and
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: that is Matt Gates has withdrawn his name from consideration
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for attorney general nomination. The former Representative Matt Gates, Republican
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: from Florida, formally withdrew his name for consideration for the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: attorney general position and President, like Donald Trump's incoming administration,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: there is no time to wait on a producted Washington scuffle.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Had excellent meetings with senators, he said yesterday. I appreciate
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: their thoughtful feedback and the incredible support of so many.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Gates went on to say his nomination and become quote
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: too much of a distraction, and therefore he is withdrawing
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: his name from consideration for the highly sought position, saying this,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: while the momentum was strong, it is clear that my
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of the Trump Vans administration.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: There's no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffles.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I will draw my name from consideration to serve as
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the attorney general, he announced. Trump Trump's doj must be
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in a place and ready on must be in place
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and ready on day one, he said, adding that he
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: remains fully committed to see that Donald Trump is the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: most successful president in history, saying this, I will forever
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: be honored the President Trump nominated me to lead the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice, and I'm certain he will save America.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the politics behind this, and there's
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: several different theories. I'm going to give you the one
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that I think is the most accurate. All Right, Matt
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Gates knew that the ethics report on him was coming out,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and the ethics investigation in the House was going to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: be brutal. It was going to be really really bad,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: It was just going to be tough.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And I think what actually happened here is Gates went
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to President Trump and said, hey, I need your help.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Can you name me to something so I can resign
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: before this report comes out? Because if I resigned from Congress,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: then the report should not come out. So my gut
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is is that Trump said, hey, I got you here.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You've been a good soldier. I'm going to do you
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a solid here. I'm going to announce you. It'll it'll
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: make the left just go insane. It also politically could
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have not been a bad move from a strategy position.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: All the attention went on Gates, and the attention that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: was going on Pete Headseth and others that they were
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: wanting to attack disappeared. And so I think that may
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: have been a political reason why Donald Trump did this
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: as well. So he went and had his meetings on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. He went and had his meetings with some sinners.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I know they said, Look, it was very cordial. They
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: were pretty honest with them, like, hey, dude, this is
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: going to be an uphill battle. And jd Vance was
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: there with him. Jd Vance not only was jd Vance
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with him kind of to lead him through babysit, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I also think to read the room, and he probably
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: went back to President Trump and said, hey, it's time
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to pull this.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: There's no way in hell this is gonna happen.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: There is no way he's going to get confirmed, there
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is no way that this is possibly going to take place,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and so it's time for us just to kind of say, okay,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: let's move on.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what they did.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I also think it was clear that this was something
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that may have been pre planned because they knew and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they had instantly ready to go. Pambondy, who is actually
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I think a great pick the AG down in Florida.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: This is someone that knows Trump well. She has supported
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: President Trump, she was an advocate for him, campaigned for him,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and Pambondy is someone that I have no doubt will
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: get confirmed. She also has led an entire state that,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: by the way, took of the federal government.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: If you look at what Pambondy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Did, much like the AG did in Texas, they were
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: defending the rights of the of people in their states
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and they were taking on and suing the federal government.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: They were literally suing the Biden administration. Pam Bondy had
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: no problem doing that. I think it's important that your
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: age actually runs a group of lawyers, understands bureaucracy, understands
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: how Washington works, understands how government works. From that perspective
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that something that by the way, Matt Gates did not have.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Running a congressional office is.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Very different, okay, is extremely different than running a bureaucracy
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of in a in a large group of lawyers that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: are fighting or advocating for the state. I think Pam
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: will do an excellent job. I think that Pambondy is
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: going to be somebody that that the senators who met
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: with Matt Gates are going to walk in going this
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is a breath of fresh air. So I think there
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: was a lot of this that were a lot of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this that was political theater.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: As they call it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And I do think having all the attention on Matt
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Gates probably helped some of these other nominees like headset
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: than others, Like I really do. I think there's a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: very good chance that this was a very smart and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: deliberate move, that was a move that made an awful
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. And now we move on. Now you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: look at Bondi and I think she's going to be
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: an individual that is going to be able to come
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in there and understand what she's up against because she
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: has literally fought in a very very significant way the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: deep state and will understand what she's walking into as
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the attorney general under the I mean she was down
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: there when the raids were happening on mar Lago to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: put it in perspective here, and so the media, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Al Sharpton this morning said body is on the right,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but she is one who has qualified to become the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: attorney general. So if you're getting that statement from the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: radical left, I think it's very clear they're like, this
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is a woman who's a professional, who doesn't have baggage,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: who's a qualified lawyer.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: What would we say about her to disqualify her.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to this, and again this is Al
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Sharpton saying this on MSNBC Rev.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Let's look at the headline. Obviously, yesterday, you know, we
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: had been saying on this show that it's like the
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: old Midas commercials about when the ethics report and all
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the bad information came out on that gads, you need
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to pay us now or you can pay us later.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And the later it is, the closer it is to
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: you know, more than it's actually in the middle of
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the new presidency. And I think that's the last thing
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: they Obviously they didn't want to see the scandal in
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the Senate probably in January and February.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think it was the wise thing for the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Trump people and for President and ELEC. Trump to withdraw
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: him now because a long term spectacle of days and
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: weeks would only damage them even more. Take your losses shot.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Let him walk away because he was never qualified and
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: he could not give any reasonable argument as why he'd
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: be Attorney general. I talked to people that I know
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: in Florida last night that on the civil rights side,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: we have a chapter in now she actually network there.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Bondy is certainly on the right, but she is one
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: who's qualified to become attorney general in terms of she's
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: handled cases, she's managed officers, and yes, we can raise
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: questions about what she did Trump University, but there's no
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: glaring things in terms of her values and models.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You're talking about.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Gates with underage sex. You're talking about Ronnie of that
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: has been documented, that was sent around, and to put
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: him in charge of the Justice Department made a mockery
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: of the system. So I think it was better for Trump,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: not that I'm a Trump person at all, but it
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: was better for him and certainly better for the American
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: public to get Gates off the scene.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: None.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you're hearing Matt from Al Sharpton, Bonnie
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is on the right, but she is one who is
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: qualified to become attorney general. There's no clearing things in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: terms of her values and morals. That tells you how
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: solid of a pick that this is when you look
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: at Pam Bondi and who she is. Scott Jennings on CNN,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: making the case for Bondi, saying as Trump names Pambondi
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is the new a g pick after Matt Gates withdraws.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: The best part about this is is look, you get
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to basically say we're done, we're done with the Gates thing.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We're moving on quickly to Bondy. Within hours, he is
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: named Pam Bondy. And Scott Jennings put it this way.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Creation there is something that's very allied to Trump. I mean,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: she's had a very long relationship with him. You just
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: mentioned I'm a Fluoridian, and you know you mentioned that
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: those that relationship with Donald Trump. I mean I was
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: back I think in twenty thirteen that he gave money
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: to her campaign and then you know, apparently there was
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: some questions around actions that she took around Trump University,
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: and so you know, there's a long, long, long history
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: there between the two of them, Scott.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: A long history. She does have obviously real legal experience,
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: which is in contrast to Matt Gates. No allegations of
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: mass sex scandals with anyone under age drug scandals. I mean,
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: you know, just to just put it out there, here's
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: we'll see what we see here. But is this just
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: a confirmation that would assent sail through scott or not.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't think you could consider anybody, you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: just they're going to sail without any kind of real process.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: She's gonna have to go through a process like everybody else.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: But I can tell you this is a massive upgrade.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: I've talked to a couple people up on the hill already.
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: There's a sigh of relief that now we have somebody here,
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: two term ag strong record on drug enforcement and opioid issues,
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: a total hawk on immigration, politically supportive of Trump. Obviously.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: I don't know Republican in the country who doesn't love
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: Pam Bondy. So you were starting with Gates, a nominee
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: who was underwater significantly to start and what was gonna
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: always be hard to get to the surface With Bondy,
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: I do think you're starting above water. And as long
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: as she performs in her hearings. And look, this is
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: somebody who's been through two elections in a really big state,
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: and so a lot of public vetting of her has
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: gone on already. So I think this is a great
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: move by Trump to be pragmatic and Tailgates to get out,
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: and a really good move to go with BONDI this
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: is not a shaky lamb, this is a sturdy branch.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: He's gone with for Age. Would you agree with that,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: David Well, I'd agree with half of it. I think
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: was I love how they go to Axelrod right away.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Right, that's Obama's guy, Like well, remember, I mean Eric
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Holder was his guy, and Eric Holder was a guy
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that did the most insane deal ever selling guns to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the cartels that then were used to kill Americans.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Never forget that. It's a guy that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And Eric Holder that that was held in contempted Congress
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that should have been arrested and gone to jail. But
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of course there's a double standard there at the AG,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and that never happened either. So when when you look
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: at this and you hear the talking points that have
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: been made, I gotta say, I think Pambondy is going
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to be able to get through now. Look, guests are
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: melting down over Pambondy on the left, the radical left,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: like they'll go crazy because they don't like her because
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: she's a Republican and and those crazies are out there,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: but they don't have evidence behind them to back up
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: their insanity like they did with Matt Gates. I'll give
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you a great example. There's a guy that's a commentator
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: on MSNBC. He had a total meltdown over Trump picking Pambondy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And the thing that you should listen to here is, look,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is this guy gonna melt down on everybody he could
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have picked on the list if it was a list
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: of one hundred people. The answer is yes, because the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: partisan hack And that's what he does. Right, Like, there's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of people on TV no matter who they
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: put out there, no matter how perfect that you could say,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: all right, here's the pope for the ag and they
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: would they would lose.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Their mind on the pope.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: That's that's part of the democratic you know orbit that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they live in, which is anything that Trump does Orange
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Man bad there for that person is bad.
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: Listen, cam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: the last segment that we should all fear because she's competent.
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: knows how to do this job. So if anyone on
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: the Democratic side, or anyone who cared about liberty or
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gates will screw this up,
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: and that'll give us some time. No, Pambondy knows what
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: she's doing. She knows what she's doing about immigration. Remember,
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: Florida is one of those states that's been very aggressive
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: and everything else like that. Florida has enacted all sorts
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: of rules and laws to curtail students and what they
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: education money. She is a dangerous and effective pick, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: that's frankly worse than what we would have got with
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: Matt Gates, even with the deporable moral background that he has.
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I want to discuss that with a little
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: more depth with both of you, including her record on
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and other issues that are front
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: and center at the DOJ and which we know we're
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: also big campaign issues.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: By the way, I love how they go into LGBTQ
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: like that's the only issue that the Attorney General deals with.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You know that the Attorney General deals with terrorism and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: going after actual terrorists.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: They go after sex traffickers and.
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: Take back to these radical issues or the left, the LGBTQI,
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: transgender everything about them is ideology it's not about safety,
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: it's not about national security.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: It's not about terrorism, it's not about domestic terrorism.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: It's not about drugs, it's not about the people dying
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: from fetnyl overdose.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: None of that seems to matter to them.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: All they care about is, well, this is someone that
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump picked, and we hate Donald Trump. MSNBC had
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: another breaking news segment on Morning Joe, Where's headline? Trump
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: nominates Pam Bondi for Attorney General, and one of their
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: reporters put it this way.
• 14:32
  Speaker 11: Well, one reaction I got from inside the Justice Department
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: last night was this is Matt Gates with a better
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: legal resume. But the legal resume is significant, Willie and guys,
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: because Pam Bondi was a career prosecutor down there in
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: Hillsborough County for many, many years before she was elected
• 14:49
  Speaker 11: Florida's first female Attorney general. So she's prosecuted major cases, murders,
• 14:54
  Speaker 11: death penalty cases. She understands how that works. Matt Gates
• 14:58
  Speaker 11: had never really been much of a lawyer before he
• 15:00
  Speaker 11: was elected to the Florida legislature, so that's a big difference.
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: And you know she at the same time, though she
• 15:07
  Speaker 11: is you know an extreme MAGA activist and has tainted
• 15:12
  Speaker 11: her legal career with.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I love that she's an extreme MAGA activist. And then
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: does she's tainted her legal career with what show me rulings?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Show me rulings where she was a a politician instead
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of following the law, because they don't have that. So
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: they're going to name call so the honeymoon and I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: play this because it's almost like in real time you
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: can hear it. Okay, Alice Sharpan comes out and says, hey,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: she's a legitimate candidate for this position. She's got a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: legitimate resume, she's solid as a rock. And then msbc's like,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but wait, Orangeman bad, orange man bad. So I've got
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to tell you that she's a radical, that she's an extremist,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that she is a a MAGA fundamentalist. I don't even
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: know what that means. Means, was Eric Holder not a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Obama fundamentalist? When went with the age, it's.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: A fair question to ask, right, like I would hope
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: that you are a I laughed.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: The word fundamentalist is maybe a better way of putting it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: It's it's like they want you to find a robot
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: who happens to be a lawyer that's not has a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: political mind at all, and that's who they would say,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is okay, that doesn't exist. So then the second question
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to the left in the media here is okay, well,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: then who would you approve up, Well, clearly they would
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: approve of you putting a radical leftist at the AG's office.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You know when he says, I talked to people with
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, this reporter and he's and they say, well,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: she's a she's basically a radical with a better resume.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: She's Matt Gates.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: The better resume that is the that that is the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: most absurd statement that I've seen so far, as this
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: is unfolding in front of us in real time. Their
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: resume are not even close. And then he even contradicts himself.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: He says, well, Matt Gates wasn't a real lawyer barely
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: at all before he went to college with no real prosecution.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Like he contradicts his own words that he just said
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: on MSNBC. Pambondi has been elected not once but twice,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: so heavy vetting and a large state that's accurate. Pambondy
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: is someone that has gone after cartels and gone after
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: drug cases and death penalty cases and heinus crimes that
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: have been committed by illegal immigrants, for example, she understands
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: how to prosecute the big cases. She is a prosecutor
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: who then earned the job and was re elected by
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the people in Florida. That resume is completely different than
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Matt Gates barely a lawyer, got went to a hard core,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: concerted district and was able to get elected, and then
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: abused his fame or whatever you want to call it,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: for his own personal reasons. They are two very different
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: people on paper, Like not even close what you would
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: what it would cost you if you could buy a
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: resume for Pambondi's resume would be millions and millions and.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Millions of dollars if you were buying it like a stock.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Matt Gates stock would be a His resume would be
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a penny stock that's filing for bankruptcy that's been delisted. Okay,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Like to say that they're somehow one the same is
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a lie. I'm going to just back up this MSNBC
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: audio again just so you can hear the reaction that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: she is from MSNBC, where they're like, well, I talk
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: to people at the Department of Justice, and they said
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that Pambondi is Matt Gates are a better resume. Like
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: this is when you know they just lie to you,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: like all the time, no matter what.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: It's just straight up lies.
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: Prosecuted major cases, murders, death, penalty cases. She understands how
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: that works. Matt Gates had never really been much of
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: a lawyer before he was elected to the Florida Legislature,
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: so that's a big difference. And you know she at
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: the same time, though, she is you know, an extreme
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: maga activist and has tainted her legal career with very
• 19:05
  Speaker 11: strong stands in favor of some questionable things.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Uh. There was a.
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: Famous incident, uh back in around ten years ago when.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I love how he's like, you know, say he's wondering.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He's like, uh, she's she's she's uh tainted her her career.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Uh in a in a in a really read a
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: way a decade ten years ago.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Dude, Like I understand that you don't like her, but
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: like you want to talk about just making you know
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: what up? This is making you know what up? Like
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: this is it? Like you can't go from She's done
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: all of these things and has a solid record too,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: she's exactly like Matt Gates with a better resume when
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: they're not even close to the same.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: To them saying, well, she's tainted her legal career.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Uh and and as he I'm quoting and uh uh
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: with you know, uh an extreme maga activist, that is,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: she tended her legal career with a very strong stands
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: in favor of some questionable things.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And it's like, okay, well what are the questionable things?
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, well, ten years ago, ten years ago, a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: decade ago, let's listen, what is his example.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I cannot wait for you to tell me.
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: Remember Trump University, that for profit university that Donald Trump ran,
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: was getting a lot of consumer complaints about being a scam,
• 20:26
  Speaker 11: and her office was asked to join a multi state
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: lawsuit and Donald Trump's foundation contributed twenty five thousand dollars
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: to her campaign and she opted not to join that lawsuit,
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: and his foundation was later fine for making it a
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: legal contribution. So look, she served her tenured eight years
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: as Florida attorney.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Jail hold on, So let me get this drink. You
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: had a bunch of states. They claim it wasn't actually
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a bunch, It was a few that went after Trump
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: University Online. She looked at the case and decided, based
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: on a lot of legal reasons, that she wasn't going
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to join in, just like a ton of other states
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: did in the US.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, she didn't join in.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Was that because Donald Trump gave her a donation at
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: one point?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I doubt it. I think she probably.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Looked at the case and was like, this is a
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: case that I don't need to waste the taxpayer's time
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: or money on in Florida. Maybe she looked at how
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: many people in Florida had gone to Trump University or
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: had and said, this is extremely few people. Based on
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: what I need to be working on, Maybe it's more
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: important for me to go after murderers and rapists and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: terrorists and not put lawyers on a case that is
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: more of an outlier case where they're actually in Florida specifically.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Aren't that many people that were affected by Trump Online University.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe it could.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Have been that the same reason, by the way, why
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: some liberal states with liberal ags did not join in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that class action lawsuit or the lawsuit against Trump University
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: because they said, this is a waste of time. This
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: is not an issue that the majority of the people
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: are affected by in our state. There were liberal states
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: that did the same thing that Pam Bondi did. So
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: if this is all they have unquote on her, then
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I think she will sail through and keep listening to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: this reporter from NBC News the Department of Justice, like
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that's the whole selling point to the American people. Well,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: there was this one case that we think she might
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: have should have been involved in that she wasn't.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: That's it from a decade ago.
• 22:32
  Speaker 11: She later went on to be one of Donald Trump's
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: impeachment defense lawyers in the Ukraine impeachment in twenty twenty,
• 22:38
  Speaker 11: made a speech on the House floor during the trial
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: arguing that there was a Biden corruption scandal in Ukraine
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: and that that's why that phone call was okay. And
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: she's also raised questions about fraud in the twenty twenty election,
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: which people think were baseless. So it's a bit of
• 22:58
  Speaker 11: a mixed bag, But people are breathing a little bit
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: of a sigh of relief for the Justice Department that
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: at least she's a real lawyer, and that her deputy,
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: Todd Blanche, donald Trump's defense attorney, does have a lot
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: of experience in the Justice Department and is also well
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: regarded over there, so net people are thinking this is
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: a much better situation than Matt Gates. But she is
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: certainly a Donald Trump loyalist who has also raised questions
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: about weaponization at the Justice Department and may really cause
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: some trouble over there from the perspective of some of
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: the career folks.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Guys, this is I mean, you hear this and it's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: just hysterical. Is It is truly amazing. I want to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: give you another breaking news issue that I talked about
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: yesterday and it deals with the ICC putting out this
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: arrest warrant for Benjamin Nett and Yahoo. There is a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: report coming out now and this is obviously a big deal.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump team is already preparing steps to challenge the ICC,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: saying that actions have consequences. President like Donald Trump's team
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is acting on the ethos and preparing to challenge the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: International Criminal Court in the Hague with sanctions after it
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: initiated arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the former Defense Minister from Israel as well named Gallant.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: The ICC moved against the Israeli leaders on Thursday, fort
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: supposed war crimes committed in Gaza by Israel as it
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: retaliated against the Hamas Terras over their deadly raid last year.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: The move came after President Joe Biden back in May
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: revoked Trump's original executive order against the ICC. ICC prosecutor,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: who faced Carmen Kahan, who faces sexual misconduct allegations, initiated
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the application for the warrants, along with applications for warrants
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: against the Palestinian Terras, all of whom have since been
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: killed by the Israeli defense forces. Hebrew media outlet reported
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Friday morning, as cited by seven Israeli national news, Trump
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: is already moving even though his inauguration is still some
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: two months off. Sources in Washington told the news sources
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the possibility of imposing personal sanctions not only on the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: prosecutor or the court, but also on the judges themselves
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: who issued.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: The order against net and Yahoo.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: In addition, there are those who argue the sanctions should
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: also be extended to the family members of those elements
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: in the courts responsible for the arrest warrants. As previously
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: reported by Breitbart News, the ICC moves against Israeli leaders,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: equating them with Hamas Terras. This comes in the wake
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of Biden's reversal of sanctions against the ICC for such
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: investigations and offered only meek public opposition to the ICC
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: chief Khan, who is corrupt as hell. Administration was even
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: suspected by Israelis of using the looming ICC warrants as
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a way of persuading Israel to comply with US policies,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: such as not pursuing Hamas Terras in the town of Rafa.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: In June of twenty twenty, Trump issued Executive.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Order thirteen nine twenty eight. What did it do?
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: It slapped sanctions on ICC officials who attempted to investigate
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: US soldiers and soldiers of Allied countries for military actions,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: specifically against terrorists. Biden revoked Trump's order shortly after taking office,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: meaning that American soldiers could then be prosecuted by the ICC,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: which is totally insane. Biden and the Democrats, proclaiming America's back,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: sought to cultivate international goodwill by giving the ICC credibility.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: And also extreme power.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Well, elections have consequences now, and what we're being told
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: is that Donald Trump has already said go get it
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: done now. The mental health crisis in this country is
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: continuing to explode since Donald Trump got elected. Fifteen of
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the biggest leftists are out there going unhinged. Some of
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: them threat is saying we need Threats of violence and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: even alleged murder is what is still happening on social
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: media and some of that derangement syndrome got into the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: elections In Pennsylvania. A election denier, after trying to steal
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: an election with counting ballots that were illegal, has been
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: forced to concede that election to the Republican Dave McCormick.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Senator Bob Casey is a current Senator from Pennsylvania, finally
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: conceded the race to the Republican Dave McCormick after two
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: weeks of contesting the election results. Casey trying to steal
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that election and was well busted for doing so and
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the court said you.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Can't do this.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Announce his concession in a video release to social media
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Thursday evening.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I just called Dave McCormick.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: To congratulate him on his election to represent Pennsylvania in
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the United States Senate.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: He said in the video.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: whether their vote was the first to be counted or
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the last. Trying to take the moral high ground here,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: here's more of what he had to say.
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: Well Dave McCormick to congratulate him on his election to
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: represent Pennsylvania in the United States Senate. As the first
• 28:47
  Speaker 12: count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: was the first to be counted or the last. This
• 28:57
  Speaker 12: race was one of the closest in our commonwealth, says
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: my history, decided by less than a quarter of a point.
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: I'm grateful to the thousands of people who work to
• 29:06
  Speaker 12: make sure that every eligible vote cast could be counted,
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: including election officials in all sixty seven counties. When a
• 29:15
  Speaker 12: Pennsylvanian takes the time to cast a legal vote, often
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: waiting in long lines and taking time away from their
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: work and family, they deserve to know that their vote
• 29:25
  Speaker 12: will count. That's democracy. I'm proud of the work we've
• 29:30
  Speaker 12: done since election day to enfranchise voters across the state,
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: matter whom they voted for, and to ensure that the
• 29:38
  Speaker 12: democratic process could unfold In just a few days, we
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: build an organization of three hundred and fifty staff across
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: the state, joined by more than a thousand volunteers who
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: help more than six thousand Pennsylvania voters make a plan
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: to fix small issues with their ballot so their vote
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: would be counted. From the one hundred year old woman
• 30:02
  Speaker 12: in Butler County who voted in every election since she
• 30:05
  Speaker 12: was eligible, to the nineteen year old in Montgomery County
• 30:09
  Speaker 12: who cast her bow for the very first time, we
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: made sure those voices were heard, and we stood up
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: against efforts to silence and disenfranchise voters in every corner
• 30:21
  Speaker 12: of the commonwealth. Thanks to our work in the courts,
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: nearly one thousand eligible voters in Philadelphia will have their
• 30:28
  Speaker 12: votes counted despite efforts to throw them out. This work mattered,
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: and I'm grateful to the many people who helped with
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: this effort. As you know, no public official serves alone,
• 30:43
  Speaker 12: and I've been blessed by the love and support of
• 30:46
  Speaker 12: my wife, Teres and our daughters Elise, Caroline, Julia, and Marina.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: He goes on to talk about the personal things, and
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I wanted you at least to be able to hear
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: him say his kids' names there. What was hilarious about
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: this and nonouncement is he had I'm pretty sure on
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: his desk standing up a constitution and I'm laughing because
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Casey was clearly trying to go against the will of
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the people and counting ballots that were illegal ballots. They
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: were not postmarked the way you're supposed to, and these
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: liberals were trying to count them because they thought they
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: could steal an election. And Dave McCormick accepted Casey's concession
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and thanked him for his term of service, saying, Senator
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Bob Casey Dedicade's career to bettering our commonwealth.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Dean and I want took center.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Sincere gratitude Senator Casey, Theresa and their family for their
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: decades of service, hard work, and personal sacrifice. I'm so
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: honored to represent every single citizen in Pennsylvania in the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: United States Senate and will fight for you every day.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you, he said in his social media post there.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Casey's concession comes just a little over two weeks after
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: he repeatedly contested the election results. Despite having no path
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to victory, Casey continued to continue to refuse to concede
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the election of McCormick, stating the election officials should quote
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: finished counting all the votes, including I guess the illegal ballots. McCormick,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: by the way, attended the Senate orientation after Senate Majority
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Leader Chuck Schumer previously refused to allow him to attend
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the orientation, So the entire Democratic machine was trying to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: overthrow the will of the people. Schumer took a lot
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: of heat from Republican Senators Tom Cotton, marc Arrubio Mullin
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: for his refusal to allow McCormick to attend the Senate
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: orientation as Casey continued to refuse to concede the race.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Dave McCormick's bid comes two years after he failed to
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: secure the nomination in the US Senate race against the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Democrat John Fetterman, who went on to beat the Republican.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Doctor Oz.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: So this is a big switch for the people in Pennsylvania.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania now has a Republican Senator and a Liberal senator
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: and Fetterman.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: As I described this, this is what is so great
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: about elections. You can change parties. You now have two
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: very different people representing that state in Pennsylvania. Bob McCormick
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: is very different from Fetterman. That's how I know that
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: American votes matter. But when you watch this election as
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Casey was trying to steal it, it's pretty disgusting. It's
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not pretty disgusting, it's really disgusting. It
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: is disgusting that he tried to steal this election and
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: then act like, oh, I'm a man of the constitution.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: No, you're not.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: You were trying to figure out a way to steal
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: an election and you still couldn't do it, and the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: courts were saying no. And so that's the reason now
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: why you're like, oh, here's my constitution, and I'm just
• 34:04
