Set that Seder plate down, wipe that blood of Jesus off your hands, it’s The Moment LIVE and HOLY hell (get it!?!?) is there a lot to cover this week.
Bye, Bye Bondi:
The Attorney General Formerly Known as Pam Bondi got the ol Trump Treatment on Thursday. To be honest, the Trump Treatment could mean a lot of things (ew/ugh), but in this case, it means she was fired. This wasn’t a huge surprise for anyone, including Bondi, as Trump had been publicly voicing his disappointment with her frequently. A big part of Trump’s problem with Bondi? She wasn’t doing enough to prosecute his enemies. Oddly enough, Bondi has been one of Trump’s fiercest allies and protectors; her firing proves that no matter how much you flatter him Trump is willing to flip on you.
What’s next for Bondi? Well, first, she has a pending subpoena for mishandling the Epstein Files. Will this stand with her no longer in the role of AG? Possibly. Then it’s off the private sector, which TBH, maybe not so bad?
Summer loving, had me a blast, is actually incredibly complicated and rooted in the patriarchy and racism.
The Summer House situation in Bravo has spilled into the “people who don’t watch Summer House” zone, so we had to bring our pal Milly Tamarez (Go Touch Grass) in to bring us up to speed.
Milly explains how Ciera Miller and West Wilson had a will-they-or-won’t-they on Summer House. This eventually ended in they won’t that West needed to put in the NYT??? Now it has come out that West is dating Amanda Batula, a close friend of Ciera’s, and the internet is like WTF?!? This story gets into the ways white men fetishize Black women, and the way reality TV cameras seem to salivate for these story lines.
He’s served in the Middle East, so hopefully he can help us make sense of what Trump said about Iran the other night. Representative Jake Auchincloss is in the house!
Congressman Jake Auchincloss, represents Massachusetts' Fourth District and serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He is a Harvard and MIT Sloan alum, and a Marine veteran who commanded infantry in Afghanistan and counter narcotics special ops in Panama. He joins us today to discuss where he thinks many things are heading, including the war in Iran.
The good news is, it wasn’t just us who were less than impressed with Trump on Wednesday night. The bad news is Representative Auchincloss thinks we will see American boots on the ground sooner rather than later in Iran, which isn’t going to end well for anyone, but especially Trump, who is going to have war L on his hands.
We ask Rep Auchincloss if Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard should be worried about her job, whether he thinks SCOTUS will uphold birthright citizenship, and what’s the latest on DHS funding.
For our MOMENTS
Rebecca still can’t get over Kristi Noem’s husband and his endowment.
Meredith says Jesse Waters, SAY LESS, because the only people talking like you are the trolls in your Reddit thread.
Rep Auchincloss, take us home with your favorite Disney ride:
