Hello and welcome to the DSR Daily. You know what? You made it to Friday. That amazing. I'm kind of personally amazed myself,
because it has been a week full of news in sanity, and everything else we've come to love from those zany plutocrats in Washington who run our lives. Today, I'm joined, of course, by Riley Fessor
“and Minna Stein, and we're going to break down”
little what's happening now, little what happened, then a little what's going to happen next week. Because it's Friday, and that's your way of knowing it's almost time for the weekend to begin and all sorts of springtime fun to get underway.
But first, let's start with this.
Well, I'm so proud of us for making it to Friday, but there's one person who did not make it to Friday. President Donald Trump removed Pam Bondi as attorney general
after a turbulent tenure marked by accusations that she politicized the justice department, over saw mass firings, and pursued investigations into Trump's perceived opponents. Her departure followed mounting criticism over the handling
of Jeffrey Epstein related files and frustration from Trump over unmet demands who prosecute rivals despite her consistent public loyalty.
“Trump named Todd Blandj as acting attorney general”
and is considering a permanent replacement while Bondi plans to transition out amid ongoing controversy over her leadership. Poor Pam Bondi, let's all shed a tear for Pam Bondi. Let me look closely as mentioning a tear.
No, Riley's telling a tear. No, nobody's shedding a tear. But let's, we're going to look back on the days of Pam Bondi and think those were the glory days of respecting the rule of law, which she did none of,
of supporting the needs of the people by being the department of justice for everyone, which she did none of.
No, the problem is this, Pam Bondi
was the worst attorney general in American history. The worst, not even close, John Mitchell in hell, wherever he is in hell, is looking up going thanks, Pam. I'm not the worst anymore.
John Mitchell was Nixon's attorney general, actually went to jail. But here's the thing. She wasn't bad enough. Trump wants somebody worse.
Trump doesn't want somebody who will hide most of the Epstein files and let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let them let them come out in our trickle. He wants somebody who will kill it.
Kill it right away. And, you know, Todd Blanche, the new acting attorney general, who has Trump's personal attorney, within an hour of becoming acting attorney general
was on television going, okay, we're done. Epstein's done. It's over. We're not giving you anymore.
We've done all we're going to do. Now, can he do that? No. Is he going to lose in that battle? Yes.
Is he going to therefore stay and be successful as attorney general? No. He'll try to do some things to play Kate Trump, but he won't be able to,
because what Trump wants is unachievable. It is as a story I saw this morning,
Noted rather difficult in the United States
for all the decline that we've gone through.
“To prosecute somebody for crimes they haven't committed,”
it's just tough. You can attack them. You can accuse them. You can probably get an indictment of some of them,
but you can't actually go the next step. So who's it going to be after Todd Blanche? I don't know, but it's going to be worse. Maybe it'll be a meal,
bova, another of the president's former attorneys. Maybe it'll be somebody like Eileen Cannon, maybe,
and this would have the exact same effect as the other two, it'll be Kid Rock, or Jean, you know,
boxer lines, Pira, Jeanine Pira, you know,
there are a lot of bad choices
out there folks, and at some point you're going to go, well, please, Pam Bonnie was once in the attorney general.
At least she didn't, you know, do everything terrible. Repress the impulse. She was awful.
We're good to be rid of her. Um, and now let's start storing up the anger that we're going to need to deal with
whoever comes next, because they're going to be much worse. Well, another major firing yesterday as defense secretary. Pete Hicks,
fired army chief of staff in general, Randy George on Thursday, marking a combination of growing hostility between the Pentagon's leadership and the army's top ranks.
The tension was fueled by hexes, grievances over personnel. The decisions specifically has moved to block of the promotion of four officers. Two of whom are black and two of whom are women,
despite their records of exemplary service. During his tenure in general George was credited with resolving a historic recruiting crisis and modernizing the army by prioritizing cheap drones and AI driven tactics over traditional heavy armor.
This firing alongside their movable. Other high ranking generals has left the services that senior leadership are feeling under siege and frustrated by the unnecessary political interference of the administration.
Well, why the fuck don't they say so? What is this army code of silence? What is this military code of silence? Do they think that snapping to attention
“and giving a salute is serving your country right now?”
This is not ordinary times. There is a fascist authoritarian taking over the United States and trying to impose racist, sexist, white Christian, nationalist discrimination and bullshit on us while waging wars around the world
and committing war crimes. And what happens is these people speak out behind the scenes as they are supposed to do, then they get fired as it's not supposed to happen and then they disappear and shuffle off the stage quietly.
It is not time for people to do that. General Mark Milley got it. Former Secretary of Defense Mattis is kind of sort of getting it
although he's always a little behind on that kind of thing.
All the people who talk about civilian military relations and how we're not supposed to upset the ship of state folks, this is a national crisis. Now having said that, what headset did should lead to is instant firing and would in any other administration.
Of course, you know, the fact that he leaked battle plans on signal would have led to it. The fact that his quote, "DI plan" was actually a white Christian nationalist plan where he like kept lots of officers
from the recognition they deserve or got rid of books about black people from libraries or played havoc as he did in the past couple of days with promotions that were due. This is crazy because, you know, what?
We're in a war. He fired the army chief of staff in the middle of a war because he wouldn't follow a racist sexist order. I don't care what you are. You're a Republican, you're a Democrat.
This is the worst kind of behavior.
“If you are patriotic, you have to be calling”
for headsets or movable. Trump would now want $1.5 trillion into the Department of Defense. Everybody should be saying, "No, not one more dollar until you replace this guy, exit."
And the military guys, if they don't want to speak in public, should be calling up their friendly neighborhood journalists and leaking more and more about what's going on here. Because "heggseth" is a blight on this department.
He is a blight, you know, he's called it the Secretary of.
And that's not what he is.
That's not what he is.
“But he should have re- if he was going to be truthful,”
he would be renaming the Department of white supremacist, Christian, nationalist, compensation for having a tiny dick. That would be the name of the department. This guy's got to go. And it is now time for everybody, regardless of party,
to call for that. It is a sign of Trump's great sexes that he is fired to. Of his women cabinet secretaries, also incompetent, before he fired this bozo and RFK junior. Not that I feel strongly about this.
Well said. Thank you. To revisit some of the tariffs. Would you feel like we haven't talked about it in a while, so got our revisiting it?
And this was the week, by the way.
This was the one year anniversary of the liberation day,
which he called it, which is when he announced all the tariffs. Well, that's cute. I'm glad we're getting to touch back on it on the anniversary. President Trump ordered new tariffs of up to 100%
“on imported drugs from companies that refused to lower US prices”
or shift production domestically, aiming to boost American manufacturing and reduce prescription costs. The policy allows lower tariffs for companies that comply or for certain allied countries,
while also encouraging major pharmaceutical firms to invest in US-based production. While the administration argues the moveable lower prices and strengthened supply chains, critics, including economists and industry groups,
more in it could raise costs and strain global trade. That industry grips like pharma. Yeah, no. We should be able to charge Americans ten times what we charge other people because other countries
have regulations and we don't. Is Trump doing this the right way? No. Is he doing this for the right reasons? No.
Is there some kind of grifter animus or bullshit beneath the surface of this thing? Yes. Should these companies bring their prices down? Yeah.
Yeah. So here we're going to get a partial edible right here for the president. Wrong motive, wrong technique, wrong timing.
Should have happened a long time ago. But reducing drug prices for average Americans is really important. Particularly in light of the fact that the president is cutting the healthcare benefits of millions of millions
of Americans and increasing the cost of living for all of us with his insane war, rising oil prices, rising gas prices, rising prices of helium, which will lead to rising prices of chips, which will lead to rising
prices of technology, rising prices of fertilizer, which will lead to rising prices of food. And so, you know, let's see this in context. Okay. He's pushing up prices.
He's reducing the amount of money that is going into government programs that help people who are in need
“for meeting, you know, crucial requirements like drugs”
or food or whatever. And he's doing this other thing. I'm happy he's doing this other thing, but he's also negating its benefit over and over and over again. Cuba has announced the release of 2010 prisoners,
including women at youth and the elderly, framing the move as a humanitarian and sovereign gesture and observance of holy week. This decision arrives as the nation faces a severe energy crisis in a widespread blackout,
resulting from a U.S.-led oil blockade intended to pressure Cuban leadership. Despite the release, human rights organizations emphasize that Cuba still detains hundreds of political prisoners who are subjected
to criminal prosecution for government criticism.
This event marks the second major prisoner
released this year, continuing a pattern of diplomatic gestures previously brokered by the Vatican at international negotiations. Good for them. You know, they're going to be rewarded for all this.
Go on, tell me, man. What's Cuba going to get an exchange for doing the right thing? Nothing good. That's for sure. Where's nothing good going to come from?
From us. Yeah. Yeah, from Marco Rubio going to settle old scores, you know, with his sidekick Donald Trump. Well, you know,
we're not on the Cuba story yet, and there are a couple of stories today saying the story is going to have to wait because the Iran story is taking longer and longer. But, you know, be patient.
He's going to make a move on Cuba. He can't help himself. He thinks he's like emperor of the world.
Turns out he's not.
And kind of makes you want to wish
we lived in one of the places where he wasn't in charge. Well, hopefully that'll be here soon. Come on, do you have one more story? Something something in here. One more.
Yes. One more story. President Trump claimed responsibility for a strike that destroyed a major suspension bridge in Iran during the ongoing conflict,
warning a further future attacks if a p-steal is not reached. The strike part of a broader escalation in the war involving the US and Israel caused casualties and significant infrastructure damage
while Trump simultaneously expressed confidence that the conflict could ensune despite ongoing military actions,
“as fighting intensifies with strikes on key sights”
and rising casualties.
Global concerns are growing,
with Antonio Gutierrez warning the situation could expand into a wider war. By that, you mean the Secretary General the United Nations? Yes, correct.
Yes, well, look, he did not just express confidence. You know, he bombed the bridge and then he put out a true social saying, "We bombed your bridge, take that at your biggest bridge and if you don't capitulate right now,
we're going to bomb all your electrical power station." Folks, let me tell you a little something. Under an international law, you can't attack civilian infrastructure. You can't punish civilians collectively
as part of a conflict. That is what Trump is threatening. He is threatening war crimes. It is arguable that attacking this civilian bridge was also an attack
that violates international law.
We are doing that every single friggin day where killin civilians were violating international law. We are stabilizing the region.
“We are destabilizing the global economy.”
This is absolute unmitigated insanity and anybody who frames that as anything else is misleading you. Will it continue through the weekend? Yes, it will.
Will we continue to follow it through the weekend? Yes, we will. Will you be able to follow us if you subscribe on YouTube or go to theDSRNetwork.com
and click on membership and spend a few bucks a month less than the price of a gallon of gas. Of course everything is less than a price of a gallon of gas. I actually yesterday filled the tank of my car
and paid $6 a gallon. Here in Washington, D's, I'm lying. It was $5.99. But you get the point.
Yes, it was premium gasoline. But it was $6 a friggin gallon. I don't remember ever paying $6 a friggin gallon of gasoline. So this is going to be on your mind
as you're, you know,
“to the link about enjoying your spring weekend.”
But stick with us. Support us. Join us again next week. Watch our, you know, feed because, you know,
for example, we did a really good need to know which appears first at our sub stack need to know. But then within a few hours,
36, 48 hours later, it appears in the general feed. So it'll appear in the general feed or the weekend. And it is a critique of how the media is covering all of this.
And I've got to tell you, not good. Also one of my favorite shows that we regularly do, the media critique show.
So if you haven't listened, I encourage you, need to know. Anyway, meta,
Riley, I hope you have exciting weekends, full of fun and happiness and distraction from your horrible jobs.
And we'll, see you in my day. Bye-bye. You've got a lot of stress, but you've got a lot of stress here.
You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here.
You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here.
You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here. You've got a lot of stress here.
