00:00:06.420Some breaking news happening just moments ago.
00:00:08.840President Trump has ousted Pam Bondi as Attorney General.
00:00:12.580According to multiple sources, she will be replaced by now Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
00:00:18.520In recent days, President Trump reportedly talked to his allies about the possibility of firing Bondi.
00:00:23.440And he talked to her personally Wednesday night about the possibility that it would happen
00:00:27.060In the conversation, which one source described as tough, Trump indicated Bondi was not long for her role and he'd be replacing her in the near future.
00:00:35.500We didn't know it would be just one day, less than 24 hours later.
00:00:38.800Sources say that Bondi was told she'd be given a different role and a different job later.
00:00:43.340In their conversation, two sources said Trump floated the possibility of appointing her as a judge after her departure from the Department of Justice.
00:00:50.700Bondi was in attendance for President Trump's address to the nation on Wednesday night.
00:00:53.820President Trump has reportedly been frustrated with Bondi on multiple fronts.
00:00:57.460In particular, he was upset of her handling of the Epstein files.
00:01:00.780He's also fumed about her not investigating or prosecuting enough of the bad actors and deep staters who came after President Trump and sought to undermine American democracy.
00:01:11.220So to that we say, good riddance to Pam Bondi.
00:01:14.180It's also being reported that Tulsi Gabbard, the ODNI, may be on the chopping block next.
00:01:19.980President Trump has privately asked cabinet officials in recent weeks whether he should replace his director of national intelligence, vetting frustrations that she shielded former deputy who undercut his rationale for the war with Iran, according to The Guardian.
00:01:34.200It's not clear if Trump will actually fire Gavard over the episode.
00:01:37.240Currently, there is no standout candidate to take that job, or I should say anyone who's not in the deep state, to go ahead and take that job.
00:01:46.500But we're going to monitor that one as closely as well to see what happens there.
00:01:52.220And as I said last night, President Trump giving that primetime address to the nation with an update and a timeline of events on what's going on with Iran.
00:02:00.580And more importantly, sending a blistering message to Iran, letting them know they're going to be getting hit extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
00:02:09.480And they're going to get sent back to the Stone Age where they belong should they decide to not make a deal with America.
00:02:15.960which would, of course, include giving up their enriched uranium, the whole point of Operation Epic Fury.
00:02:24.060Take a listen to President Trump with that blistering message for the mullahs and the Iranian radicals over there.
00:02:31.900Fully achieved. Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly.
00:02:42.780We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
00:02:48.520We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong.
00:02:53.340In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.
00:03:08.980So as President Trump said, that war, he believes, should be wrapped up in the next two to three weeks.
00:03:14.260And if they don't want to make a deal, he's going to continue to pummel them back to the Stone Ages.
00:03:19.300Since being fired back in 2023 by CNN, Don Lamont has been making a living by becoming part of the anti-Trump media collection of Trump deranged liberals and bitter former Republicans who all speak only to each other and appear on each other's podcasts.
00:03:34.580This week, during an appearance on Pod Save America, another podcast,
00:03:39.200Lamont hilariously signaled that he's open to the idea of running for president
00:03:42.880and actually said that he'd do a better job than President Trump.
00:03:46.720It's amazing how highly Don Lamont thinks of himself.
00:04:31.660The following comes as SpaceX merged with Musk's artificial intelligence company, XAI, back in February, a combination that Musk valued at $1.5 trillion at the time of the deal.
00:04:43.400I'm sure Elon will take SpaceX to the moon, just as he'd done with Tesla.
