The Brief: Feb. 5, 2025 - Bondi’s Confirmation, USAID’s Demise & Trump’s Gaza Gambit

Ashe in America and Patrick Gunnels are back with another jam-packed episode of The Brief, covering everything from Pam Bondi’s confirmation as Attorney General to Trump’s latest geopolitical power plays. Bondi wasted no time making waves, refusing to play the D.C. game on the 2020 election and stepping into a national security battlefield where election fraud investigations are officially on the table.

Meanwhile, USAID is getting dismantled in real time, and the panicked reactions from the usual suspects are telling. The deep state’s slush fund is drying up, and even Democrats are warning each other to stop defending it before they expose themselves further.

And in a headline nobody saw coming—Trump just proposed U.S. ownership of Gaza. Is this a real plan or another tactical distraction? Saudi Arabia is already scrambling to clarify its stance, and global leaders are holding emergency meetings.

All that, plus China’s latest economic moves, Schumer’s embarrassing rally, and Elon Musk’s team of AI-powered autists rewriting the rules of government efficiency. Buckle up—it’s all happening!
