It's Friday, April 3rd.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show learning that,
according to Bloomberg News, President Donald Trump will announce a budget today with a massive buildup
in defense spending, courtesy of cuts to domestic programs.
Because when your approval is below 40 percent, why not try to go lower?
On today's show, the world scrambles to figure out how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
And a poll finds people glued to social media are less likely to think democracy is the best form of government.
I wonder which right-wing influencer told them that.
But let's start with the exit of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Yes, Pam Bondi, Epstein Binder's enthusiast and Trump toady, is out of a job.
After multiple media reports stating she was headed for the green pastures of somewhere else,
President Trump officially announced her departure on True Social Thursday.
He wrote in part, quote, We love Pam and she will be transitioning to a much-needed and important new job in the private sector
to be announced at a date in the near future.
Which means that unlike former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem,
Bondi did n't get another administration position.
And that 's after she went to the mat for Trump over the Epstein files
during a House Judiciary Committee meeting in February.
This administration released over three million pages of documents, over three million.
And Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents.
