Jeanine Pirro would be a better Attorney General than Pam Bondi, he says.

Derek Hunter comes back for hour two and goes right into a live call from Mike in Gainesville. The caller asks whether grand juries in Washington, D.C. can come from outside the district, since D.C. juries seem unwilling to indict some of the people tied up in local crimes. Derek looks up the basic service requirements on air and jokes that the residency and language rules would rule out a lot of the people who went through D.C. public schools. He does not stay parked on the procedure for long. The hour then shifts into a broader talk about law enforcement, intelligence work, and the gap between domestic policing and counterterrorism. Derek says counterterrorism is about sorting through data and communications and, mostly after the fact, tracing what happened to find more people involved. It is not, he says, a matter of being the CIA or Jason Bourne, and it is not a reason to operate in domestic crime. He pushes back hard on the idea that an overseas service or Israel is somehow behind the events being discussed, noting that no evidence was offered for that claim. He treats it as conspiracy bait dressed up as curiosity. He also takes aim at the habit of saying people are just asking questions while refusing to name the questions or explain why they are being asked. From there, he moves into the Charlie Kirk conversation and points out that if Israel were as powerful as some claim, the logic of the accusation still does not hold together. He notes that Kirk had been more vocal than some others about bombing Iran and attacking Iran. That mismatch, in his view, makes the theory look like garbage rather than serious analysis. The tone stays combative and dismissive toward the people he sees as laundering rumor into intrigue. He treats the whole thing as clickbait, audience bait, and a scam. He then extends that same skepticism to Joe Kent, saying service does not exempt anyone from being wrong or from having to defend their claims. The segment keeps its talk-radio pace, moving from one outrage point to the next without slowing down. Even when the subject shifts, Derek keeps the pressure on the logic. The result is an hour that is less about exploring the issue than about hammering the listener toward one conclusion. It sounds like a host using callers, clips, and current controversy as fuel for a running critique of media dishonesty and political double standards.
