pam got a little over $2 million. >> pam phillips wastes no time.eadowood. it has its own ski lift. it's buttressed against the mountains. it's got these, like, massive wooden doors. it has marble all over the floor. so as pam was spending that life insurance money and climbing back into aspen society, gary's murder remained unsolved. it was a burden on the entire triano clan, the notoriety haunting their every move. >> if i said my name, you know, i get a million questions or a million comments on the matter. "are you related to boom-boom triano?" like, horrible things people would say. >> they would refer to your uncle as boom-boom? >> boom-boom triano was one. there was all kinds of weird names, weird things that they said. >> so by 2005, this case had really become a cold case. >> so we had this one anomaly, ron young, and it was, "where is ron young? where is ron young?" aspen pd had the arrest warrant, so he could be arrested anywhere within u.s. jurisdiction. and just nothing was coming of it. he was like a puff of smoke. >> in hopes of teasi

i do not know pam bondi. ryan here today to speak because of my long career at the department, my reference for the department and its mission, and its independence. the lawyers and law-enforcement officials at the apartment of justice are critical to preventing the weaponization of the department in preserving impartial adherence to the rule of law. for the attorney geral, this means taking seriously their oath of office, which is to the constitution, not the president. it means recusal at their impartiality regarding any particular investigation or case could reasonably be questioned, and it means reaffirming long-standing policies limiting contacts between the department and the white house on specific investigations of cases. the o through the constitution means that if there is inconsistency between what the president may ask the attorney general to do and what the constitution requires the attorney general must choose the latter. although she is a member of the president cabinet and therefore expected t

pam bondi understands that.she realizes that as you have heard she set up for 18 years in the courtroom eight more as attorney general. when she became the attorney general, she did not forget her experiences as a prosecutor. one thing she brought for me florida statewide prosecutor which i'm very fortunate now one thing she did she shielded me from the politics. she understood how politics could impact what we do every day in a courtroom. i will forever be grateful for shielding me from those politics with all due respect, prosecutors we do not usually want to be politicians. we just want to go in and do what we are supposed to do pam bonnett made the job dog capable for me too complete and i feel complete well, but she made it fun. she made it something i enjoy doing and i will be forever grateful to her and general moody for allowing us to do that. i've had a lot more in my statement i let my statement stand. the question i experience on the pam bondi work center to different world than what you're all talkin

pam bondi as u.s. attorney general, she has a proven track record in achieving reductions in crime and violent crime during her time as florida's attorney general. ... >> these are not just numbers. these are tens of thousands of lives saved in communities improved and made safer and families and businesses protected. as florida attorney general pam bondi spearheaded life-saving initiative like tackling the ongoing epidemic and fighting human trafficking. her achievements are too many for me to list in this short introduction. as u.s. attorney general pam bondi will restore law and order. she will put americans interest first and make the nation a better and safer place. i urge every single member of this committee to support my friend pam bondi and i look for to voting for her confirmation soon and help her get to work for the american people. thank you, chairman.

even smarted democrats conceded that pam bondi will win. larry: like who, maybe i'm being too hard. >> i think people down are morons. but people who know how to get thens done, like dick durbin. >> no question. larry: ned ryun, what else, john c ratcliffe, marco rubio, and chris wright, they are strong players, this all part of trump revolution. in is part of one big beautiful bill. economic growth, get rid of inflation, secure the border, what did you can hear today, ned? >> i think you -- with pam bondi you say she since rested in re-- is interested in restoring trust to doj, idea of equal application of law rule of law. all stan equal before it i woulhope too, i think she will, transparency will be important in restores trust. i hope she goes out and releases all ofs documents that pertain to russian collusion, january 6, and releases communications of this coordinated political lawfare against trump that ag garland and goj and i believe biden white house were coordinating. american people are owed transparency. >> but ned -- >> i think

that will change under pam bondi. under her leadership the doj will actually fairly enforce the laws protecting the rights of the american people and keep our nation safe and crackdown on violent crimes and dangerous drugs. the american people will trust her to do so. i know that because i worked alongside pam bondi for years -- eight years and i was governor and she was elected attorney general. working to approve the lives of floridians, make florida the best date in the nation to live, work and risa family. pam was an incredible partner working to keep florida safe and helped hold the laws of our state, ensuring crime was aggressively pursued by law enforcement and prosecutors. president trump has made clear when of his top priorities is to reverse the rising rates of crime and specifically violent crime that have plagued our communities over the past four years. pam bondi is uniquely equipped to advance his priority as u.s. attorney general. she has a proven track record of success in achieving dramatic reductions

pam. we have been waiting for more than 13 months since the last cease fire deal and the last since the last time there was an exchange of hostages and prisoners. for this moment, it appears that this deal is imminent. if not done already. we're reporting that hamas has agreed to the deal. there was certainly an expectation from the israeli side that they would agree to a deal. all of this, of course, brokered after intensive negotiations with the mediators, the united states, qatar and egypt. so this is obviously extremely welcome news. after some 14 months of fighting and what we expect to happen, if indeed this this deal goes into effect, is that over the course of some six weeks, we would see more than 30 israeli hostages released by hamas and other groups who are holding them in gaza. i don't think we have the exact number of palestinian prisoners who would be released by israel. and then there are all they're a bunch of other different elements that would go into effect. palestinians

i said, pam bondi. >> it's like an easy decision. i couldn't think of anybody more qualified that he knew that he trusted. and it's okay to have. >> you were his lawyer, right? >> yes, sir. i represented him when they tried to impeach him the first time as part of white house counsel, office of special counsel. >> then trump's lawyer prepares you for many things. >> so, yeah, you have a long standing relationship with the president. he trusts you. that's a good thing. that's probably why president kennedy picked his brother, bobby kennedy. i guess you can say no to your older brother. i'm sure he would. but this idea there's something bad is ridiculous. who do you pick? you pick people you know, you pick people you trust, people that you're qualified. i'm glad he picked you. he knows you, he trust you, and you're highly qualified. so the idea that there's something wrong with that is just absolutely ridiculous. so let's talk about the job you're about to have here. do you support making certain drug cartels in mexico, foreign terrori

larry: my friend kash patel and fbi director and they went through pam bondi and what did pam say ands the outlook for kash patel? >> kash patel will get con if i wered like pete hegseth just like pam bondi and the rest of the them. cashcash wow. sell is a very --h patel is a very experienced national operator and public defender and won awards from the obama justice department for being a long time national security prosecutor. if he's so crazy, why did the obama justice department give him awards? larry: i like that. i like that a lot. kash patel getting awards. anyway, gentlemen, terrific. mike davis and ned ryun, thanks for helping out. we appreciate it. all right, folks, coming up on kudlow, are markets ready for a shock and awe tariff? we're going to talk about cpi and market rally today and shock and awe tariff. taylor riggs, steve forbes and john carney. what a group, right here onset. ♪ [city noise] investment opportunities are everywhere you turn. do you charge forward? freeze in your tracks?

i said pam bondi. it's an easy decision. i couldn't think of anybody more qualified that he knew and trusted and it's okay to have -- you were his lawyer, right? >> yes, i represented him when they tried to impeach him the first time. >> being trump's lawyer prepares you for many things. yeah, you had a longstanding relationship with the president. he trusts you. that's a good thing. that's probably why president kennedy picked his brother, bobby kennedy. i guess you can say no to your older brother, i'm sure he would. this idea there is something bad is ridiculous. who do you pick? you pick people you know, you pick people you trust and people who are qualified. i'm glad he picked you. he knows you, he trusts you and you are highly qualified. the idea there is something wrong with that is ridiculous. let's talk about the job you are about to have here. do you support making certain drug cartels in mexico -- >> senator, i personally went to mexico and i personally dealt with these cartels when i was a state prosecutor and th

>> i think pam bondi is a class act.eaponization of justice was a real issue under the biden administration and i think what we have learned over the past three and a half years is what the radical left is accusing you of is typically what they are doing themselves. we know that pam bondi is a fighter for the american people. she's taken on tough cases like protecting and defending the air force members who are forced out due to the covid vaccine mandates. she's taken on human trafficking in the state of florida, she's phenomenal and she will fight for the american people and restore integrity to the justice department. >> trace: to you now jason, marco rubio on the dynamic shift in the middle east. >> here's the good news and it's not just about the cease-fire today although that's very important. the good news is that potentially we have had a dynamic shift in the region that has an historic opportunity if appropriately structured in pursuit of that changes the dynamics of what might be possible. >> trace: nobody wants

pam bondi up today.rusted, elected attorney general for state of florida doing it on national level and going to department of justice with a big stick. marco rubio issue part of gang of eight before, ton of experience, senator from florida, expected to get bipartisan support. john ratcliffe used to be over director of intel is going to be smooth way for cia. >> steve: sean duffy, from fox, up for treasury -- rather t transportation secretary and chris wright, secretary of energy nominee. today system his 60 th birthday. and russell vought, director of office of budget. he will personally ask mr. john ratcliffe questions and he knows what they are going to ask about marco rubio, too. watch. >> i heard john's hearing, he's been director of national intelligence, we agree cia is vital for our country, we have to get back to its roots and focused on core mission, not things like climate change or whether an african country will pass gay rights legislation. i'm confident john will get it done and advance int

i like pam. breath of fresh air compared to this regime we have now, joe biden regime, the loony bin which is reflected through our media. it is said there are so many federal laws now when you wake up in the morning and open your eyes you have already violated about 500. we need to clean house. trump said in the 2016 debate that we need to erase -- he said two. maybe 10. when they pass a new legislation and it is so complex but we need to erase 10. get rid of them. i'm a proponent of streamlining the federal constitution starting in 1871. we need a congress doing the will of the people to go back and clean this mess up. pam bondi would be a great asset to getting rid of this swamp. the media. i i have -- host: we will let our guest response. guest: people talk about the swamp or people like pam bondi talk about the deep state or the administrative state. it's important to remind ourselves what they are talking about is getting federal agencies whose job it is to protect the american workers, com

it's laughable to me but pam bondi gave the correct answer. equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws. >> pam bondi did a terrific job today. she's going to be confirmed as attorney general. i believe all of president trump's nominees are going to be confirmed and this week we've had multiple hearings for about half already and they have performed consistently very well. pete hegseth did a superb job, i think will be confirmed for secretary of defence. seeing the democrats go after pete saying the democrats go after pam, they are in panic. you can tell from their attacks with pete hegseth they went into personal slanders and attacks faced on anonymous reports because they didn't want to address the job he will do as secretary of defence. with pam bondi they had very little to say about her distinguished career as a prosecutor, you trying violent criminals, serving eight years as the elected attorney general. they just screamed about donald trump and they channeled accusations to her about weapon i doj that i think are laughabl

>> well, it depends, pam. i mean, kate, it's one of those situations where pam bondi has legal qualifications for the job. there's no question about it. but the real question is whether or not she'll say no to donald trump. and we have reason to raise a question in his first term in office, donald trump took two of his attorneys general who he thought were disloyal and fired him on the spot. so if you say to donald trump what you're suggesting is wrong, illegal or unconstitutional, unfortunately you can lose your job. >> we've heard her say she has said publicly in the past things like, we're going to investigate the investigators. i mean, is there anything that she can say today to convince you that is not the case? if she says today that if she's asked to go after donald trump's political enemies, she will not. it's kind of the same question, senator, what gets you to a place of believing her? >> well, it's obvious she's going to be under oath and we'll be asking the questions. and you have to decide whether

pam bondi as u.s. attorney general, she has a proven track record in achieving reductions in crime and violent crime during her time as florida's attorney general. ... >> these are not just numbers. these are tens of thousands of lives saved in communities improved and made safer and families and businesses protected. as florida attorney general pam bondi spearheaded life-saving initiative like tackling the ongoing epidemic and fighting human trafficking. her achievements are too many for me to list in this short introduction. as u.s. attorney general pam bondi will restore law and order. she will put americans interest first and make the nation a better and safer place. i urge every single member of this committee to support my friend pam bondi and i look for to voting for her confirmation soon and help her get to work for the american people. thank you, chairman.

he is in good shape, pam bondi did phenomenal and we knew rovio and ratcliffe will do great.e're going to vote on pete out of the committee 5:00 o'clock on monday, tomorrow we will try to get him confirmed on the floor by thursday tomorrow after the president is sworn in were having at the rotunda will be walking right back into the chambers and working to build a confirm rubio that is the deal because schumer can do anything. we will get rubio and ratcliffe confirm tomorrow and there we're going to go getting a lease confirm gravy on tuesday and moving down the line with pam and pete. remember we cannot get an agreement with the democrats we have 30 hours of debate per nominee which can take forever. >> senator i would never ask a lot of private conversation alyssa had your permission to do so. i know you had breakfast with president trump recently, hopefully he paid, i'm sure he's excited about getting started what was his mood, his attitude i'm sure he's ready to go. >> is very excited we had breakfast this morning. he's really excited, laser focus and energy level it's un

is pam bondi the former or the latter? we don't know because she hasn't. >> shouldn't we be at this point optimistic for trump 2.0? let's give them all a chance based on what he said, because i just think it's rich for us to have a conversation. >> as if the biden administration did not engage in the very sort of weaponization that donald trump has campaigned. >> it's not the same. >> we're not going to i don't want to relitigate that. >> but but i will say this. >> it's apples and bowling balls. >> it's literally not that pam bondi got a lot of questions about kash patel is also and you might like this, kevin. >> she has the qualifications for the job that she's been nominated for. she? >> i agree, i thought it was a kash patel hearing. >> well so she she has the qualifications and i think that is really the main reason why her path to confirmation is going to be fairly unproblematic, despite, you know, all of her history of election denialism, et cetera., she she's likely to be confirmed and confirmed easily. everyone ha

pam bondi refused to answer today. we'll get to that. coming up next. >> here you go. >> is there any way to get a better price on this? >> have you checked single care? whenever my customers ask how to get a better price on their meds, i tell them about single care. it's a free app accepted at pharmacies nationwide. >> before i pick up my prescription, i always check the single care price. >> it's quick, easy, and totally free to use. single care can literally beat my insurance copay. >> you just search for your prescription and show your single care coupon at the pharmacy. >> so i just show the coupon and get this price. >> that's right. go to single care.com and start saving today. >> when you call us for help, we answer even at 3:00 in the morning. try us. holidays, nights and weekends. because justice never sleeps. morgan and morgan for the people.com. >> are you tired of that old worn out bath or shower? now you can have a new one installed in just one day with a new limited time offer from jacuzzi bath remodel. we're waiving all i

that will change under pam bondi. under her leadership the doj will actually fairly enforce the laws to protect the rights of the american people and keep our nation safe and crackdown on violent crimes and dangerous drugs. the american people will trust her to do so but i don't do well because i've worked alongside pam bondi for eight years when i was governor of florida and she was elected attorney general. working to improve the lives of floridians made for the best admission to live work and raise a family. pam was an incredible partner working to keep florida save and uphold the laws of our state ensuring crime is aggressively pursuit by law enforcement and prosecutors. president trump has made clear one of his top priorities to reverse the rising crime and specifically violent crime that has plagued our communities over the past four years. pam bondi is uniquely quipped to advance this priority is as attorney general because she has a proven track record of success and achieving reductions in crime and violent c

here here, pam.bin didn't lay a glove on her and neither did the other anti-trump grumps who seem to be speaking to the cheap seats at msnbc. >> i'm asking you, sitting here today, whether you are aware of a factual predicate to investigate liz cheney. >> senator. >> based on what you know. >> to investigate liz cheney. we are also worried about liz cheney do you know what we should be worried about. >> ms. bondy, please answer my. >> the state of california right now is through the roof. your robberies are 87% higher than the national average. >> my question is this. >> that's what i would fulks on if i'm confirmed as attorney general. >> laura: does adam schiff really think that americans lie awake at night worrying, freght about the fate of liz cheney? talk about out of touch. this was a six hour exercise in liberal futility it was extended campaign commercial for the g.o.p. >> under what circumstances will you prosecute journalists for what they write? >> is president-elect trump eligible to run

pam bondi, senator rubio, ratcliff, they were all fantastic today.t all of the nominees need to be swiftly confirmed. senate republicans are on board and even some democrats as well. i think you will see, jesse, we will come out of the woodwork and support these highly qualified and brilliant picks by president trump. >> jesse: i hope so. i would be a little shocked of a lot of democrats did but i expect some to. you're right about pam bondi, i didn't hear anybody ask about drug trafficking, mental trafficking, i didn't hear anybody ask about white-collar fraud. espionage, it was all about ds that they talk about on msnbc. >> it was about the weaponization of government, which is so ironic because it is the democrats who have weaponize the government and weaponize the department of justice against president trump over the past four years. pam bondi is brilliant, she's exceptionally qualified, she served as a prosecutor for the third largest date in this country her entire career and that's why president trump picked her to be his attorney general and

>> pam kelly lived on cape cod.n who spoke with me at length for the book were childhood friends with the kennedys. when pam was 18 she had the misfortune to be riding in a jeep that is driven by joe kennedy the third recklessly. that jeep flipped over. pam was flown into the air, landed on a tree stump was paralyzed for life. so what does a 1970 3a book there was a broken necks and broken pelvis among the other passengers. was joe junior punish? was put bor a judge who was a long time kennedy family friend. he was admonished to do something good with hisdm name. he was fined $100 and set free. >> host: how come pam kelly got lost toot history? speak to thehe contemporaneous reporting of this in the "new york times" called this accident joe's mishap. quote unquote his mishap. they noted to quote girl victims had been previously injured in this crash. pam was not mentioned by name until the last paragraph if i remember correctly it was the lap if it wasn't the last is close to the last. that's one t instance of how t

an exchange between ted cruz and pam bondi today.nd prosecuted not once, not twice, not three times, but four separate times. >> and two assassination attempts. senator. >> these prosecutions were brought because partizan prosecutors were terrified that the american people would do exactly what they did in november of 2024 and vote to reelect donald j. >> trump by 77.3% million americans, 77.3 million americans. >> i mean, did they rehearse it like it was just i've never seen anything like that where you have literally a kind of a call and response between a republican senator and a nominee, all in service of the president elect's ego. >> particularly for attorney general. >> and since watergate, the attorney general is supposed to be independent. you have to have a law enforcement official that's doing investigations based on facts, not on what the president who appointed them, you know, wants them to do. and the problem for her is that, you know, trump, whether he believes it or it's just politics, he wants liz cheney investigated.

it if you're pam bondi. i think lindsey graham said this is probably good that they're asking you about kash patel, but it does really strike to the fact that some, particularly democratic lawmakers are worried about how much control and how how much she will control. she will exert over kash patel is approved, because we know that bill barr, for example, was not someone who wanted him in any position around justice over my dead body. yes, i believe that was the quote. yes. all right. >> jackie kucinich, thanks very much for being with us this morning, i appreciate it. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, the winds near l.a. may not be as strong today, but the situation still critical for firefighters there. and president-elect trump's pick for attorney general says she won't politicize the office. democrats, though, did not let up during pam bondi confirmation hearing. and kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. i want to

pam bondi was seen as a as a sure thing for the trump administration.hat kash patel has said, and you saw that over and over again. >> pam bondi was defending kash patel with the enemies list. >> you know, some of the things he said about destroying the agency that he seeks to lead. so i do think his nomination faces a much tougher challenge than pam bondi does. >> evan, do you think it's fair to say that, like pete hegseth, pam bondi pretty much has a clear path for senate republicans to rubber stamp them right through? >> well, it does look that way. >> it looks like some of the challenges we thought were going to happen with some of these more controversial nominees like pete hegseth, like pam bondi, that those just aren't manifesting themselves like they actually they've the trump administration, the trump forces have sort of overcome some of that pushback and have, you know, gotten these people moving forward. what's interesting is sort of the jobs they're about to get. i was talking to my colleague at at notice, jose pagliari, who covers d.o.j. fo

it is why pete and sean and pam, they tower over these unkempt goofballs.am a health expert, as you know, years of working in health journalism, won many awards, we know when you put junk in your body you actually feel bad afterwards, you kind of get depressed about it. you say i am not going to do it anymore. what about the reverse? how do the junk thoughts when they inhabit your brain make your body feel? it is why the left-wing activists don't just sound miserable, they look really, really miserable. negative thoughts generated by a victim mentality, elevated by the left, will change your posture, your skin, your fitness. why bother taking yourself seriously if the world is out to get you? if the world is out to get you, there is nothing you can do, so forget it. you are seeing the left say that fitness is bigoted, obesity should be a protected class, you are noticing how when they are faced with people who are aspirational in their work and in their physical presence, they want to destroy them. and i am here today to defend physically attractive and the

he question pam bondi today.n' senator, this was quite something to watch.americans can't take it. but are the democrats this out of gas? i'm actually surprised they went with kamala's failed arguments from the campaign. did they mentionr charlottesville? i was waiting for that. f >> notro once not an end of iroy or self-awareness from them as they were peppering her with questions about the weaponization of the department of justice . t i cannot fathom universe in which they can say that without feeling guilt and shame alongnga with that.e meanwhile you have adam schiff g after her. his state is literally post-apocalyptic ms. bondi scape and he's worried about liz cheney.ug >> laura: adam schiff, yourke d friend, had a lot of trouble.u hees struggled to get traction n his line of questioning. watch.sideou w >> will it be you are advised in the present i know you want to issue pardons on day one but will it be your advice to the president, no, o mr. president i need to go on as case-by-case basis. >> i will look at every file. >> will you advise the presiden

this is pam bondi.ed about kash patel's enemies list. >> would you have hired someone into the florida attorney general's office who you knew had an enemies list? >> senator, to cut to the chase, you're clearly talking about kash patel. i don't believe he has an enemies list. he made a quote on tv which i have not heard. i have known kash, and i believe that kash is the right person at this time. for this job, you'll have the ability to question mr. patel. and i'm questioning you right now about whether you will enforce an enemies list that he announced publicly on television. oh, senator. i'm sorry. there will never be an enemies list within the department of justice. >> oh, there's an enemies list. you're on it, andrew. it was published in his book government gangsters. it includes president, democrats, biden administration officials, trump appointees like william barr, rod rosenstein, robert her and you. so she would enforce it. yeah. yeah, yeah. >> it says i'm in very good company. so, you know, one

i mean, pam bondi is, first of all, very qualified. her 18 years of prosecutorial experience, she had a good record there. but second, she made a very good answer to me. she will not use her office to go after political opponents. i take her at her word. but what we also know is that she's got a boss who has immunity from the supreme court and has said repeatedly that he is going to go after political opponents. and what we know is that president trump in the past put the pressure on bill barr. he put the pressure on william sessions. and that day, when he puts the pressure on whoever is the attorney general will come. so we're in this dilemma where the president has made it clear, yes, i want to go after political opponents, but we have a qualified nominee who has assured me in response to that question that she won't, but trump will. retro dude pam bondi repeatedly during the course of this hearing today, refused to give direct answers about whether trump lost the 2020 presidential election or whether january 6th rioters convicted of

>> pam and dave. to start in union city because of that crash involving a big rig and another car. a car and a big rig. southbound 880. you have lanes blocked. not all the lanes, but enough to cause a backup into hayward. beginning now near the southland mall exit wynton area, or maybe even as far back as eighth street. soon as they clear this crash, the rest of the commute is okay. there is one more trouble spot, though. there was a car on fire. westbound 580 at north flynn coming into livermore. and we have kind of a big backup as the fire crews are taking up a lane putting that fire out. so it's going to be bigger than usual. backup at the altamont pass. if you're driving to the bay bridge, we're not seeing a big backup and we're not expecting a bigger one today. since it is friday and this week has been light. i believe that next week we'll probably have more people. 549 let's go back to steve with today's weather. >> sal thank you sir. we'll take a look at yesterday's warm temperatures to say our

thank you. >> pam likes trains. to her. >> well, it only said sal and steve. pam. i'm sorry. yes. >> shoot. >> you're out of luck, pam. darn it! all right. thank you. sal. come out there in about 20 minutes or so. boy, i'll tell you, this is just looking like so far. unless something dramatically changes, there are third driest january on record in san francisco. i can't find any yet. i can find some cold, windy, but not not much in the way of any rain, as all these systems are coming over land and not water. everything is going to be in the middle of the country rockies east as we go into the next 7 to 10 days here. so currently third driest. we did pick up a .01 on the six. so that officially gives us 19/100. the concerning issue here is all three of these are within the last 11 years 2015. zero 14.06 second driest. and now we're sitting at the third driest. and there is just nothing going on for us except, you know, offshore breeze, although sunny if you like sunny in january. i can't do better than this because

i mean, pam bondi will likely be confirmed.republicans and democrats agree that she is qualified for the job. the main issue was given donald trump's track record in pressuring his attorney generals to do things that are outside the norms and potentially outside the law. for an attorney general, is she willing to stand up to him? and she didn't really give a clear answer to that. she dodged and ducked and said she wouldn't talk about hypotheticals, but she did not really answer that question. so if she was hoping to pick up more democratic votes today, i don't think she did. but she did keep probably keep donald trump happy with her. >> all right. kash patel was a huge topic in this hearing, and he hasn't even had his confirmation hearing yet. why do you think he's overshadowing things right. >> well, his nomination is in more trouble than hers, i would say both tulsi gabbard and. and kash patel are facing a tougher challenge to try to get nominated. and that's why you haven't even seen those those hearings scheduled yet. those

the democrat who beat me lost to pam bondi. i had endorse had the democrat she hired me as her drug czar and shut down pill mills and save lives from oxycodone abuse. that's a big part of her message that she has been saying is that she is focused on problem solving, policy, not politics. she has a track record of reaching across party lines. my message is that and also my message to democrats back at home has been to pick your battles. this is the best nominee that you could ever expect to come from donald trump for the position of attorney general if you are on my side of the aisle. >> dana: a lot of the democrats in her hearing went back to this concern that they have that president trump or other people at the white house will pressure pam bondi to do certain things at the justice department. how do you think she would handle that pressure? she says it wouldn't happen anyway. how do you know how she handles pressure? >> when she appointed me she had pressure from her party not to do that. one party leader put a finger in he

maureen: pam kelly lived on cape cod.aren, who spoke at length with me for the book, were childhood friends with the kennedys and when pam was 18 she had the misfortune to be riding in a jeep driven by joe kennedy the third. it flipped, pam was thrown into the air and was paralyzed for life. peter: that was in 1973. there were broken next and pelvises among the other passengers. was joe junior punished? maureen: joe junior was put before a judge, who was a longtime kennedy family friend. he was admonished to do something good with his name. he was fined $100 and he was set free. peter: how come pam kelley got lost to history? maureen: you know, the contemporaneous reporting of this in the new york times called this accident joe's "mishap." quote-unquote, his mishap. they noted two girl victims had been grievously injured. pam was not mentioned by name until the last paragraph. if it was not the last, it was close to the last. that is just one instance of how these girls and women were not just discarded by the kennedy fam

that list includes pam bondi for u.s. attorney general, sean duffy for transportation secretary, john ratcliffe for cia director, senator marco rubio for secretary of state, russell vought for head of the office of management and budget, and chris wright for secretary of the department of energy. pam bondi drew wide praise earlier today from judiciary committee. republicans such as senator lindsey graham of south carolina i think you're the perfect pick at one of the most dangerous times in american history, and i look forward to supporting you. the most contentious exchanges today came with committee democrats, who repeatedly pressed bondi over her loyalty to president elect trump. >> are you prepared to say today, under oath, without reservation, that donald trump lost the presidential contest to joe biden in 2020? >> ranking member durbin president biden is the president of the united states. i was an advocate for the campaign, and i was on the ground in pennsylvania, and i saw many things there. but do i accept the re
