consumer protection antitrust and false claims matters. she is also long time trump ally and she says, refocused the doj intended purpose of fighting crime and making america safe against. trump says she is smart and have fun america first fighter who will do terrific job as attorney general. denomination comes hours after the first pick congressman's, matt gaetz, dropped out of the running after trump reportedly told him he did not have the votes to get him confirmed. >> holy [bleep] i did not see that coming. he was the ultimate troll and people have the opportunity to freak out and respond and if you want to do that, you better pace yourself though because it is not even thanksgiving. >> gaetz congratulating pam bondi we worked closely as attorney general of florida and i was criminal justice in the state house. she is an inspiring leader and a champion for all. we are still waiting on a

pam bondi is ready to meet those challenges. >> todd: trump lost his attack dog when gaetz dropped out. have no fear, pam bondi is tenacious and will be one of those things you mentioned ending weaponization at the doj. but terry, how, how was she did that and how do you want her to do that? >> well, the number one thing we have to do is call the dogs off and these unfair investigations. and the erroneous and obviously biased investigations like around january 6th and actually get to the bottom of the other cases coming up. but number two is called the dogs off on parents. we saw that across the country. parents standing up for their kids at school board meetings and the federal government responding to these parents as domestic terrorists. we have to get rid of the bad actors and take actions to clean up a lot of their mess is. >> carley: that justice department composed of 40

figuring we will come back and fight another day. i don't know that much about the situation. it is really tough to speculate. >> todd: the question for matt gaetz, what is next for him? the speculation abounded yesterday because he resigned from 118th congress. he said he does not intend to be part of 119th congress. that is a little lawyer-angie and i wrote, i do not intend an gaetz could do that and ran for governor in florida in 2026. but i want to circle back to pam bondi, a masterful job in florida going after human traffickers and fentanyl parishioners. we have this combination of tom homan and pam bondi potentially awaiting senate confirmation. what does that mean for that duo trying to shut down those who profit off of illegal immigration? >> it is a huge deal. this will be a dynamic duo. they will work well together.

i would be very, very, very worried if i was part of the any of these cartels trafficking drugs over the borders. but also i would be worried if big pharma. these guys will clean up shop. team homan and pam bondi are the real deals and all business. they will go after all of the stuff happening at the border as well as the abuses of big pharma. >> carley: terry, one quick thought, will pam bondi be confirmed? >> i do. she had a very popular run as attorney general. she has been fully added not just by background checkers but the florida boaters and a tub swing state and she would handle it ten points or eight points but serious politician and she has been added to, dog at the, pub nations, and she will get the job. the tomb when it comes to matt gaetz part of the next congress, apparently that decision is up to florida

remark she could not understand the filing of false police report. this is something that cost the city of chicago and inordinate amount of money that most important the resources away from something more serious crimes such as murders. at the same time it had downstream effects and clouded the city's reputation. and also in the long term, may be one of the factors that resulted in smollett's show being canceled and dozens of people losing their jobs in chicago. speed when it had untold effects on the country. this was pitting race against one another for something according to the facts that were presented did not happen. again, it should be noted this is procedural overturning by the supreme court not so obstinate

>> todd: obviously, you viewed this as a wonk that can be a swampy righted by a civil case? >> that remains to be seen but the thing is, smollett was found guilty by jury of peers. let's not overlook this is a finding by a judge but a jury of his peers that his law years picked had veto power over. so it is not quite vindication that he says. it is time to close the books on this and move along. the facts speak for themselves. those people who lost their jobs when the show closed, they are still suffering. let's put closure on this and move on to more important issues. >> todd: understood, eugene, really interesting insight with a historic decision and many people do not believe it is right but that is what the law says. the two brothers gauging the

dana walden running abc news. you have folks like joy behar and whoopi goldberg under abc umbrella losing their minds on a daily basis. it is actually kind of fun to watch but at some point, people are going to be like, all right, i don't want to listen to this because i can't trust you people because you told us donald trump's hitler and apparently hitler will be the 47th president of the united states, for go figure. >> todd: that point is here and look at the ratings and people are not watching for staff. i bring that out to the media collectively. let's take a different tactic on this, joe. should conservatives be celebrating because it shows there are factions on the left that still refused to acknowledge ultimately why trump won and the reasons for it. so, i don't know looking ahead to 2026, that bodes well for the republicans. they still haven't figured out

why the republicans won. >> that is a great point, todd piro choice at this on the program and i will say it again, before the election, i can't see how kamala harris could beat donald trump when donald trump was winning over black voters to the amount he was in latino voters to the amount that he did and obviously, we also havea union voters rank and file and he was winning those over as well. we saw the teamsters in terms of internal polling he was winning big time. when you win those three democratic strongholds, the democrat nominee in this case, kamala harris, did not have a chance. that is the thing. they should understand that donald trump won for a reason. he resignation with the buried viewers they seek to bring in. i will leave it there that trump designates with people while

to the no tax on social security benefits is another big one. i think those can get to congress. i think a tax decrease for the middle class overall is hurting the economy. i think donald trump, president trump's shown in the last presidency he spurred the economy before covid with his tax policies and i believe he will get those through congress now that he has the majority in the senate and the house. that will spur the economy on with his new tax policy. >> todd: same question but broadening out to the entire economic approach of the incoming administration. what are you looking forward to, tom? >> the first thing we are looking forward to and you heard this and a lot of things president trump said on the campaign trail which is drill, drill, drill. get the oil production going and more costs of products because

of the oil production and decreasing cost of the whale. excuse me, i seem to have tom concha's cold. but i think lowering the cost of oil and cutting regulation is another thing we are looking to and cutting regulation will increase housing and cutting regulation will profit companies. we are certainly looking forward to that and the last thing we are looking forward to is the department of governmental efficiency. mr. elon musk and vivek ramaswamy cutting the fat out of the government. obviously, we saw inflation of government spending in the last administration. we will not have that here. cutting the cost of oil and government efficiency to make it more efficient will reduce prices and reduce inflation ultimately reducing interest rates and that is what we are looking forward to.

have a great day. >> thanks, carley. >> thank you. >> carley: you are very welcome. >> todd: that ache sent is magical. ains. >> carley: both british and southern. >> todd: white campaigning with president-elect trump. he says he is out, done with politics. he tells the new yorker i'm never doing this again. i want nothing to do with this. it's gross. it's disgusting. i want nothing to do with politics. now, white is a close friend of trump. apparently that's going to stay the same. that's not changing he endorsed him at the rnc earlier this year appearing at his victory party. >> carley: that's so funny. he thinks that politics is messier and more of a blood sport than ufc. >> todd: he created ufc where people literally kick each other in the head. ed to have a great weekend. office starts right now. ♪ ♪
