Trump nominated Bondi after Matt Gaetz withdrew due to a child sex trafficking investigation. Bondi had been a loyal surrogate, defending Trump during his first impeachment inquiry and spreading election fraud claims in 2020.
Bondi, alongside Rudy Giuliani, traveled to Pennsylvania to spread false claims about the election results, contributing to the narrative of voter fraud that underpinned Trump's efforts to overturn the election.
Bondi received a $25,000 donation from the Trump Organization in 2013, shortly after which she dropped a criminal investigation into Trump University. This raised questions about potential bribery and her loyalty to Trump.
Bondi has falsely claimed that Democrats aim to take guns from law-abiding citizens and give them to migrants and terrorists. She also supported Trump's proposal to confiscate guns without due process, a stance later moderated under NRA pressure.
Critics, including Senator-elect Adam Schiff, worry that Bondi, if confirmed, might drop cases against violent insurrectionists from January 6th and continue to propagate the 'big lie' about the 2020 election.
Many viewers have shared personal stories of increased costs for groceries and everyday items, attributing the rise to Trump's policies and market instability caused by his administration's actions.

So that was Pam Bondi. That's who Donald Trump has now nominated as his Attorney General pick after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration in connection with a child sex trafficking investigation. There you saw Bondi speaking on Donald Trump's behalf at the first impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. It was really, really bad.
And they basically sidelined her after what you just observed right there. Some more information about Bondi that's worth noting. You know, she's someone out there who's one of Donald Trump's top surrogates general on the media. And she's out there calling for people like Hillary Clinton to be locked up here. Like, watch this. Lock her up. I love that. Stay with me.
Also, as Kyle Chenney points out from Politico, when Donald Trump was on the brink of defeat in 2020, Pam Bondi literally jumped in her car with Rudy Giuliani to Pennsylvania to help plant the first seeds of doubt, to lie about the results of the 2020 election. It was described by Politico as a manic road trip.
emblematic of her devotion to Donald Trump. She was standing there with Giuliani spreading lies after lies. The article is Bondi has been quietly by Trump's side the entire time spreading lies about the 2020 election. Here she is, by the way, starting these conspiracies about voter fraud in Philadelphia in 2020. You could watch this. Hey,
We wanted to give you an update. They are still not in compliance. Our votes are being suppressed. We cannot count the votes properly. What's happening is they have moved the barrier up to 6B, but they took away the ballot machines that were in the front row and moved them to the back of the building.
It's unbelievable what they're trying to do to our votes that have been legally cast, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. Your legal votes must be tabulated, and they're not doing that. They will not let us see anything. They're trying to drown us out now where we can't be heard. We're not going away. And now we're going to take further remedy.
Other videos of Bondi are now resurfacing. Here she is in August 2023 saying on live TV that when Donald Trump wins, he will weaponize the Department of Justice. I mean, she's saying the quiet part out loud right here. Here, let's play this clip as well.
Something else that's going to happen, Sean, is when Republicans take back the White House and we will be back in there in 18 months or less. You know what's going to happen? The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted. The bad ones. The investigators will be investigated because the deep state last term for President Trump, they were hiding in the shadows. But now they have a spotlight on them and they can all be investigated and the House needs to be cleaned out.
because now we know who most of them are, there's a record of it, and we can clean house next term. And that's what has to happen. Also worth noting that Bondi goes on all of these right-wing shows frequently. By the way, she's a lobbyist right now at the Ballard lobbying firm, so so much for draining the swamp. But
Here she is on Fox News lying and saying that Democrats are trying to take your guns. Democrats are coming after your guns and they're trying to give it to migrants and terrorists. Just kind of more of the lies and the gaslighting. Here, play this clip. And as far as the border, the hypocrisy there. Oh, no. You know, look at the guns, the guns. So Democrats want to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, yet they want them to flow across our border into the hands of gang members and drug dealers.
It's unbelievable. I'll ignore that. You may have heard this as well, but back in 2013, when Bondi was the attorney general of Florida, she was given $25,000 from the Trump Organization and Trump University. And after receiving that $25,000 donation, she was given $25,000.
She withdrew the criminal investigation into the Trump Organization back then and became a close ally to Donald Trump. As Matt McDermott says, there is evidence to suggest that when Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida, she was bribed by Donald Trump to avoid an investigation into fraud at Trump University. New York Times did a story how new records shed light on this money that Trump gave to Bondi and then the investigation stopped.
shortly thereafter. By the way, here is Bondi back in 2018 sitting next to Donald Trump suggesting to take away people's guns. And so I just want you to listen to this. So on the one hand, she's saying Democrats are out there taking away guns. Here she is with Donald Trump. And do you remember this meeting? Remember when Donald Trump was basically saying we need to take away people's guns without even kind of asking them or without due process?
And then the NRA came in and said, you can't say that. And then they basically scripted what he needed to say about guns thereafter. Here's Bondi here, a playlist clip. Getting out within 24 hours, the majority of them. So what we want to do is let law enforcement come in and take the guns. They're a danger to themselves. Which you can't do right now. Well, because without being adjudicated. So because they're a danger to them. You want them to take the guns and not go through six months of legal process.
and everything else. Exactly. But we also have to give the mentally ill the due process in which they deserve, President. So what we're doing is they're going to be able to take the guns when they're taken into custody or into the hospital, and then when they're released, within 24 hours or 72 hours later, typically it's 24 hours, but law enforcement will have 72 hours to determine whether they should give those guns back
or they can go to a judge and say, your honor, please keep these guns. We feel this person is still a danger to himself or others. So this would not have worked the way it's currently constituted. This would not have worked with Cruz as it's currently constituted. As it's currently written. So you're going to make changes? We're going to make changes. And one other thing we're doing about the reporting, President, which is huge.

Here she is right here. Again, she served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. Just listen to what she's saying. I mean, it's not a very good oral argument right here is all I'm going to say here. You can listen to it for yourself and just judge for yourself because this is who Donald Trump picked to be Attorney General. Here, watch this.
In early 2014, Joe Biden, our Vice President of the United States, led the United States foreign policy in Ukraine with the goal of rooting out corruption. According to an annual study published by Transparency International, during this time, Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the entire world. In Ukraine, there's a natural gas company called Burisma. Burisma has been owned by an oligarch
named Mykola Solchevsky. Here's what happened very shortly after Vice President Biden was made U.S. point man for Ukraine. His son, Hunter Biden, ends up on the board of Burisma working for and paid by the oligarch Solchevsky.
In February 2014, in the wake of anti-corruption uprising by the people of Ukraine, Zolchevsky flees the country, flees Ukraine. Zolchevsky, the oligarch, is well known. George Kent, the very first witness that the Democrats called during their public hearings, testified Zolchevsky stood out for his self-dealings even among other oligarchs.
House managers didn't tell you that. Ambassador Kurt Voelkler explained that Burisma had a, quote, "very bad reputation as a company for corruption and money laundering." Senator-elect Adam Schiff
former Congress member Adam Schiff, Senator-elect now from California. He posted, Pam Bondi amplified false claims about the 2020 election. As AG, would she drop cases against violent insurrectionists? Would she continue pushing the big lie under oath? She will have to answer those questions and a lot more during her confirmation hearing. It's going to be great to have people like Senator-elect Schiff at that hearing. Here, just play this clip of Senator Schiff. Play this clip.
Pam Bondi was one of the election deniers out there very early on in Pennsylvania, making claims of fake ballots. So if she is going to be the attorney general, what does that mean in terms of how Donald Trump and the Justice Department treat all of those people convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6th? Is she going to continue as attorney general pushing out the big lie? These are questions that she's going to have to answer during her confirmation hearings tomorrow.
But you're right. Those that have been loyal to him, those that have been willing to essentially present his false defenses and his fake claims,
uh have been now elevated to the top ranks or if he has his way will be elevated the top ranks of our justice system you know it's also worth noting i'll do another video on this as well either today or for the weekend but the mega republicans tapped marjorie taylor greene to basically lead what they're referring to as their doge subcommittee chair
Marjorie Taylor Greene, in other words, would be responsible for taking away your Social Security, your Medicare, Medicaid, other important government services. And here AOC says, this is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn't do the reading.
to borrow a phrase i saw elsewhere it's like giving someone an unplugged controller and i'll just throw this in at the end of this video even though it's not directly related to this video i'm getting a lot of comments like this right now so i want to see
If you're experiencing the same thing, because if you are, put it in the comments below. Of course, right now mortgage rates are up, up, up because of Donald Trump as they were getting lower in response to chaos in the bond markets being caused by Donald Trump's proposed tariffs and chaotic picks. But lots of people are sending me messages like this.
Groceries and everyday items we need for living are also climbing since Trump was elected. I was shocked last week at the grocery store at how fast costs rose after Trump was elected. So if you have a story like that, share it in the comments with me as well.
