GREG KELLY (HOST): Also, we have congratulations to share with Joe diGenova. Good luck, Joe. Did you hear? He's got a big gig at the Department of Justice. One of our favorite guests on this show will be counselor to the attorney general. That is a big deal role.
Now, formally, what does it actually entail? He'll advise on legal policy and enforcement. He's going to work out of Florida. The US attorney is down there. Fort Pierce, Florida courthouse. He was a US attorney himself in the 1980s on under Ronald Reagan. He is a superstar, and he knows about the corruption. He knows about the swamp. He knows what they did to President Trump. And he wants justice. He has said it many, many times right here on this show. I think it's part of the reason why he may have the job now. It's so awesome. Take a look. This is actually in the summer of '25.

KELLY: You know what I love about Joe? He thinks creatively, ethically, honestly, but creatively. And he's aggressive. Too many people here — oh, no, Trump is crazy. They don't want to touch him with a ten foot pole. However you feel about President Trump, he was a victim. And Joe is so fired up for this role. All right. He's going to be in the middle of it all. And he was very frustrated with Pam Bondi, who's no longer going to be his boss.
