Oh and next on the chopping block - Bribe Me Barbie Ms. Pamela Jo Bondi. John discusses Trump firing her as Attorney General and elevating Todd Blanche to interim head of the Department of Justice. He also talks about Trump’s less than rousing and far from reassuring Wednesday night address from the Oval Office which did nothing to calm markets – quite the opposite in fact. The DOW dropped 500 points on opening and oil prices shot up AGAIN. Next, John speaks with journalist, author, and producer Emily Yellin. They talk about her latest book, "Nonviolent — A Memoir of Resistance, Agitation, and Love", which is a collaboration with Civil Rights Movement leader Rev. James Lawson Jr. They worked together for five years to write his story, before he passed away in 2024 at the age of 95. And then, John welcomes back award-winning investigative reporter, writer, producer, veteran, bestselling true crime author, and former correspondent for America's Most Wanted - Brian Karem. They joke about the ever increasing cognitive decline of Trump's withering brain and the overwhelming difficulties of being in the White House press pool.
