The Keith Edwards Show - LEAKED: More Firings Imminent

Starting point is 00:00:00 Are you ready for some more good news? Boop, boo, boo, bo, bo, bo. More good news, as Kamala Harris says. I love good news. I just love good news. Me too, Kamala. We have a lot of good news. Baby, it turns out, Pam Bondi, Christy Khrushy Knotch, Nome, that might have just been the start.

Starting point is 00:00:18 That might have been the start. We are now learning that Pam Bondi, Christy Kirste, they gave Donald Trump a taste for blood, and now Donald Trump is hungry. He's looking at other members of his cabinet. He wants to get rid of all of them. Let's get right into it. First, let's just get some updates on Pambandi. What we're seeing here, look at this footage.

Starting point is 00:00:40 This footage that you're seeing here actually is the moment when Donald Trump fired Pambonty. It turns out that this was one Donald Trump did the deed. And reportedly, what happened in this limo was Pambondi begged Donald Trump for him to keep her job. Let's just get into a bit of this. Attorney General Pam Bonney begged Donald Trump not to fire her in an explosive shoutdown at the White House after he accused her of an unforgivable offense. Trump fired Pam Bondi, as we know. Trump informed her of the decision shortly before his primetime Iran address. Bondi responded by pleading for the president to give her more time in the role, but Trump remained firm that her leading the agency was over, said a source.

Starting point is 00:01:29 She was unhappy and tried to change his mind. as we can see, Pam Bondi's just as persuasive as she is effective. We have some more inside information on this. I'm wondering who's leaking all this stuff. Let me know who you think in the comments. Quote, I think it's time, the inside story of Pam Bondi's ouster. On Wednesday morning, Pam Bondi descended the sun-slash stairs of the White House with President Trump smiling at him just before entering the presidential limousine for a two-mile ride to the Supreme Court.

Starting point is 00:01:57 It was in that ride as I showed you that Bondi learned she was being fired. The ensuing hours were as awkward and chaotic as Bondi's 14-month tenure as the nation's top law enforcement official. Trump and Bonnie briefly sat near each other during the Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, but the president's soon switch chairs later, Bonnie would ask Trump, as she could keep her job until the summer, the president declined. Trump had decided earlier in the week that he was replacing her. He was frustrated she didn't do more to contain, follow out from the department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files, and incensed that she had not successfully prosecuted. his political enemies. So there was a story out, as I said, that she was fired because she gave information like a heads up to Eric Swalwell. And I told you that was bullshit. That's what the White House wanted to say. This is the real story right now. And I don't know who's leaking this shit,

Starting point is 00:02:47 but that's the real reason why. So whoever gets this job next, we can assume it's going to be worse and might be more effective. Pambundee was good at groveling. Wasn't really effective. Now, what's going to be scary is we get someone in there who's really good at sucking up and also good at doing the job. We've gotten way too used to trading our personal information for convenience online. Every account you create, every form you fill out, it all builds a record. Not just emails, but a version of you. And for most of us, that started way earlier than we think.

Starting point is 00:03:20 Signing up for our first email accounts, clicking through without really understanding what we were giving away, or how long it would follow us. Now we're stuck dealing with it, sorting through junk, opting out, trying to manage something that was never built to protect our privacy in the first place. Now, that's why I use ProtonMail. It's different. Instead of constantly cleaning up the mess, you can start fresh with privacy built in from the beginning. If you want to make the switch, you can set up your free Proton Mail account at Proton.me.combe slash BP slash Keith Edwards. Try it now. Back to the video. Now, let's hold on to that for a moment because we're also getting

Starting point is 00:03:59 reporting that Judge Jennings Piro was allegedly bad-mouthing Pam Bondi behind her back as part of a desperate bid to replace her as Attorney General. That didn't work out. What we're hearing now is that Lee Zeldin might be the replacement, but details of the former Fox News host career ambitions were laid out in a lengthy profile in the New York magazine, published online the morning after Donald Trump fired Bondi. Sources told the outlet that Judge Junine left her nearly $3 million year job at Fox for a $200,000 salary as a federal prosecutor because she, She was already thinking about moving up the chain. Quote, the judge is very close to the president, talks to him all the time, said a source of

Starting point is 00:04:36 the New York magazine, and she'd be trying to put the knife in Bondi saying she's not a prosecutor and doesn't have control of the building. Everyone said to me, I can't believe you gave it up, Piero said. But what they don't understand is that I wasn't giving it up. It was that I got back to who I was. I want to be Janine again. Oh my God, so dramatic. So it could be, I mean, I just think there's a lot of interesting.

Starting point is 00:04:59 fighting happening in this White House. There had it been for a long time. Now there is. But what we're learning is that this is just the beginning. Trump tasted blood. He wants more. After Bondi's ouster, which followed the Department of Homeland Security, Christine Nome's firing last month, cabinet secretaries and other senior administration officials were anxiously eyeing their phones, wondering whether they'd be next. One top official didn't have to wait long, Secretary Hexeth removed the chief of staff of the Army. Totally great to do during a war. And several people familiar with the White House's plans

Starting point is 00:05:33 told us that they are actively discussing about whether they're going to remove Castorkel, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez de Rimmer. Derrimmer? Derrimmer? Derrimer. Regardless, the people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matter

Starting point is 00:05:51 said that the timing is uncertain that President Trump has not. not made up his mind, but what was once an unofficial motto of the Trump term, no scalps no longer applies. This, I think, was really interesting. Trump had been reluctant to get rid of any of his top lieutenants viewing firings as a concession to the Democrats in the media. Even in the past few months, there had been an edict that no cabinet officials would be removed prior to the midterms. Though a series of dismissals were planned for after election day, the president's declining support since he launched Iran war has changed his political calculus and the odds of confirming.

Starting point is 00:06:25 replacements advisors know or growing longer one person close to the white house told us that trump was buoyed by reaction to his decision to remove gnome and that made him more likely to move ahead with bondy by the way bondi's 14 months is like the shortest ever in the past 50 years this fyi and Alex jones actually followed this up with someone who has inside information we'll see high level intel sources that says this had uh more than more than two now tell me that there's a decent possibility cash Patel is fired today and there's a total reshuffle. The question is why, and my guess is, is that Trump wants to make it look like it's his idea and not while he's under one specific scandal pressure from one of these people. Sure. I mean, the polymarket score for

Starting point is 00:07:11 cash Patel leaving before summer is at 60%. That's quite high. Pam Bonnys was at 93% just before she actually left. These things tend to be predictive of what's going to happen. Tulsi Gabbard is also on the chopping block. Says here, Trump polled advises about replacing Tulsi Gabbard as intelligence chief. Donald Trump has privately asked cabinet members in recent weeks whether he should replace his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for the war in Iran. It's not clear that Trump will actually fire Gabbard over the episode. Currently, there's no standout candidate to take the job.

Starting point is 00:07:52 Trump's doubts about Gabbard followed her testimony at the time. the worldwide threats hearing on Capitol Hill last month when she declined to condemn Joe Kent, who had resigned days earlier after arguing that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States. The nature of Kent's departure and his criticism of the war had already angered Trump, but he expressed particular frustration by Gabbert not defending Trump. I mean, that to me, more than Patel, that to me, this seems more real because one thing Donald Trump can't allow is people not defending him. And this feels like this is more likely than Patel in my eyes, but it could be that Donald Trump is like, let's just do a complete reshuffle.

Starting point is 00:08:30 I'm not, the authoritarianism is not happening. And if authoritarian is not happening, then we got to get rid of the people who are not doing the job, doing his bidding. That's what's so interesting, too, is Donald Trump obviously wants to be an authoritarian, but he has to hire people who fundamentally just grovel. And so it's hard to find someone who grovels and is also an effective governor. quote, as, and this is what the White House is to say. As President Trump said in his remarks, he has confidence in Director Gabbert and the tireless work she is doing. He has assembled the most talented and impactful cabinet ever in there collectively delivered.

Starting point is 00:09:04 Historic victories on behalf of the American people. Okay. And then he fired Bondi. And look, Tulsi Gabbard has a 67% chance of losing even higher than cash Patel. One person said here, Trump was just told the GOP is on track to lose, control the U.S. Senate, and now he's firing anyone who is not, he's not happy with, including Pam, Bonnie, Cashetell, Howard Lutnik, the Labor Secretary and Army Secretary. So he has a better chance of getting the replace and it's confirmed in a 53-47 GOP-controlled Senate than a 53-47 Democrat-controlled

Starting point is 00:09:35 Senate. And Adam Cochran has a great question. In the past 24 hours, we've learned that Trump is talking about firing three different people in the DOJ and now the DNI. So either they are refusing to do something very legal, which for them is a far outline or there is a major intelligent scandal happening and Trump is going to throw people onto the bus. I truly think it's just that they're not doing the authoritarianism and that if they're not doing the authoritarianism, he needs that to happen. He needs people in place who are effective. And if they're not effective, he's like, let's get them out before the Senate can, before the Senate flips and he's no longer able to confirm awful, terrible people. But you let me know in the comments, regardless, this is good. This shows that what we do is effective,

Starting point is 00:10:16 that pushing back on Trump works and that he still is a president. He's not an authoritarian, even though he wants to be. So if you are feeling hopeless or despondent, I understand. But these are good things. He had to fire Pam Bondi, okay? He never would have done that unless there were adequate roadblocks to his authoritarian impulses. And so things are holding. It might seem bad, but things are holding.

Starting point is 00:10:41 They might be buckling, but they're holding. And that to me is my hope for the day. I hope it's hopeful for you and I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
