Hey, everybody. It's Friday, April 3rd, 2026. I'm Allison Gill. And I'm Dana Goldberg, and this is Bean's Talk.

Pam Bondi is out.

Na, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, hey na hey hey goodbye

don't let the door hit you on the way out

I was going to say don't let the big banner of Donald Trump

hit you on the ass on the way out I'm my favorites don't let the door hit you with a good

lord split you see you see you out OWT yesterday's news bell Bell Bottoms out. Right. Out. Those are coming back. And, you know, as great as like these announcements feel about these terrible people getting fired, it's kind of tempered by the fact that she wasn't fired because she's a terrible attorney general. No. She was fired because she wasn't a terrible enough attorney general.

And now, Todd Blanche, who as you, so, you know, distinctly pointed out on the Audio Beans podcast, was Trump's personal lawyer in many of the cases, is the acting attorney general until a new attorney general is confirmed.

And I know that he's considering Lee Zeldon. Dana, you said he was thinking about somebody else too, maybe? I think there was one like the Attorney General of Missouri or something like that, something obscure, but someone that actually has been an attorney because the name is in the title. I don't think Lee Zeldon has any law experience. I think he's a lawyer.

Is he?

Okay.

Oh, the EPA?

I just made that up.

He's the guy who destroyed the Environmental Protection Agency.

So who better to continue to destroy the Department of Justice then?

There you go.

There you have it.

Thank you for the correction.

I'm surprised it wasn't, you know, Eastman or Jeffrey Clark or something. Yeah, or Gailie Maxwell,

be like, just let her out of prison and I'm going to appoint Gailie Maxwell to the Attorney General.

Oh, Lord. But anyway, you know, you asked a really great question during the Daily Beans, which was, does she still have to testify on the Hill? Because you'll remember, House Oversight subpoenaed her. Five Republicans voted with all the Democrats to issue a subpoena to Pam Bondi to force her to answer questions in a deposition, not in a hearing where they each get five minutes and she can do her burn bookshit, but a deposition by lawyers, staff lawyers on the Oversight Committee, about the Epstein

files, it's her complete failure to follow the law, right?
