H 2025 hello everyone, this is Ana Navarro and this is a bonus episode of Bleep with Ana Navarro. Happy Holy Thursday. An Easter miracle has occurred. My former friend Pam Bondi has been fired. Yes, the apprentice to Attorney General is ousted and gone. Ding dong the witch is gone. Okay, so I wanted to come on here and chat with you, give you my perspective. Pam Bondi is somebody that I have known for decades from Florida. Pam Bondi. Honestly, here in Florida, I'm going to tell you the truth. Nobody would have ever said she was a legal eagle. Nobody would have said she was the sharpest knife in the door. What she brought to the table was that she was nice, that she had people skills, that you could work with her, that you could compromise with her, that she was a moderate. She was a Jeb Bush Republican when I first met her. And she went from that transformed. It was like an episode of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. And she turned into the person we have seen for the last year and a half. That began happening gradually. She's had a long relationship with Donald Trump. There was a lot of talk in Florida because when she was Attorney General, there were accusations against the Trump foundation and in Florida and malfeasance. Donald Trump gave her a $25,000 donation. She started showing up at Mar A Lago, and all of a sudden, the investigations into his foundation in Florida disappeared, much like she's disappearing from the Department of Justice today. So she's been sucking up to Donald Trump for a very long time. She's been very friendly, has, like, a personal friendship with the folks at Fox News, Sean Hannity. And she would go on his show a lot, defend Trump, talk about Trump, just be a completely different person than what she was in Florida. I kid you not. When she was in Florida, she was gay friendly. She was just a really nice person to hang around with and to be out with. She and I used to go out drinking. She would come to Miami and we would stay up drinking and talking like. Like normal people, like girlfriends. So, okay, she sucks up to Trump. Really. She sucked up to Trump for years, and she did it masterfully. Her cheeks need filler. They are so sunk in from sucking up and smooching that man's ass. So, okay, she becomes Attorney General in Trump term two. Trump term two was not about qualifications, which is why she could have the job. As we've seen with Kristi Noem, as we've seen with Pete Hegseth at the Department of Defense, this is not about qualifications. This was about having, yes, men and women around him and people who would never push back, never tell him no, and do exactly everything he wanted them to do. And Pam Bondi did just that. But even that, as much as she sucked up to him, as much as she did everything he wanted her to do, she became a liability. And not only that, he was never happy. Because, you see, Donald Trump wanted Pam Bondi to prosecute, to indict and prosecute his political enemies. James Comey, Letitia James, the long list of political enemies he has. But here's the problem. If you don't have a case, if the law, if the facts, if the evidence isn't on your side, you can't go into court and get these people magically indicted and prosecute them. And that's the problem she was running into and why Donald Trump has been so pissed at her. As Susie Wiles said in an interview earlier in the year, she completely whiffed the handling of the Epstein case. We remember when she went on Fox News and breathlessly announced that all the Epstein files were on her desk. Well, now we know that that's impossible because it's 6 million files. So if they were on her desk, then her desk is the size of a boat. But not only that, she then had MAGA influencers into the White House, and she enthusiastically gave them these binders full of the Epstein files. They were like, half full, and there wasn't shit in them. And they were onto her. They didn't buy it. They were pissed as hell. And so for the last months, Pam Bondi has had to explain the inconsistency between what she said about the Epstein files during the campaign, when she first became Attorney General, when she had those MAGA influencers into the White House, and what she has been saying now. Not only that, but we saw her performative theatrics in front of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees every time there was a hearing. And it was like. Like, literally like you were seeing like. Like. Like a. Like a middle school play. The. The exaggerated features and motions and gestures and the haughtiness and the nose up and the. Just. I mean, really, she was like a. Like a. Like a class B, Class C. Make that a D list actress in a middle school play playing Lady Macbeth. Out, you damn spot. Out. We saw her with her stupid folder of takedowns of Democratic congresspeople and senators. It played well the first time, and I think Trump liked it the second time. She just looked so deeply ridiculous and deeply unserious and rather stupid and childish and infantile and not up to the job. And people, a lot of Americans, including maga, have been pissed as hell at her handling or mishandling of the Epstein files. People want those files released. Congress in a bipartisan manner, called for those files to be released. Congress in a bipartisan manner, called for Pam Bondi as a subpoenaed Pam Bondi. She was scheduled to appear in front of Congress and testify on the Epstein files on April 14th. Don't know what's going to happen with that, but. So the question I had, though, is Pam Bondi's been a disaster from day one. Pam Bondi has not been able to prosecute Donald Trump's enemies because there's nothing to prosecute. Pam Bondi has mishandled the Epstein files. This is not new. So why is she getting fired now? I think there's a few things happening. Number one, Trump's numbers are in the dumps. He's got lower numbers than Richard Nixon did when he was impeached. And two, he has thrown us into a war that is Incredibly unpopular. Just a few days ago, he gave a speech, he gave a State of the. He gave an address to the nation and people were left just as pissed off after that address as they were before that address. So he is unpopular. His war is unpopular. And with Trump, everything he does think about the distraction quality to it. Is he distracting us from something? Yes, he is distracting us from the fact that this war is a disaster, that we don't know when we're going to get out of it, that the gas prices are at over $4 and that Americans are hurting in their pocketbooks. And the map market, which is what he cares the most about, is all over the place and has been having some historic lows. And he cares about the fact that midterms are six months away and he is an albatross around Republicans next. His numbers are so down, so low, so bad that he is going to drag Republicans down. And I am sure he is hearing from Republicans about that. So what does he do? He fires Pam Bondi, who had become a liability and unpopular even with Republicans, even with the MAGA base, and who frankly, apparently had no friends around. Now, I am a bit surprised about this. One, because she has been courting his favor for over a decade now. Two, because she is, incredibly, a very good friend of Susie Wiles. Susie Wiles refers to her as her sister. They were both in the same lobbying firm in Tallahassee, Ballard Partners. I suspect she might be going back there. I think Trump term one was very lucrative for Pam Bondi as a lobbyist because she was able to exploit and take advantage of her relationships. And I suspect that's where she will land again and go back into the private sector as a lobbyist and make money off of her relationships with Trump, who I suspect will feel a little bad about throwing her under the bus because, I mean, listen, if there's a championship in life about sucking up to Trump, I gotta tell you, our girl Pam was right there in first, second, third place she would have gotten, she definitely would have meddled in the sport of kissing Trump's ass. Those are my thoughts about Pam. She had this coming to her. Don't forget. A new episode of Bleep with Ana Navarro drops on Monday. This week we interviewed Jamie Raskin, Congressman Jamie Raskin, the ranking member of Judiciary Committee. Actually, ironically enough, we talked about Pam Bondi in that episode, not knowing that she was going to be fired just a few hours later. Even yesterday, she was in the Supreme Court sitting next to Trump watching the arguments on the birthright citizenship case. She tried, she kissed up to the very last minute. And the proof. This is proof yet again, that sucking up to Trump will only get you so far. Because the moment he sees you as expandable and as a liability, he will drop you like a hot potato.
