He has dismissed 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: reassigned Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Nomes. She's got a 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: new gig, but she'll no longer be a cabinet secretary. 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: The replacement Senator Mark Waynemullen from Oklahoma. Here's the announcement, 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: and we will get to that story in just thirty seconds. 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: But first, aging can absolutely suck. The lack of energy, 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: the aches, the brain fog, always fighting the next cold. 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: But all of that changed when I was introduced to 9 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: strong Cell.

Now back to the 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm pleased to announce that the highly respected United st 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: State Senator from the great state of Oklahoma, Mark Waynemullen, 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: will become the United States Secretary of Homeland security effect 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: of March thirty first, current Secretary Christianome, who has served 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: US well and has had numerous and spectacular results, especially 22 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,279 Speaker 1: on the border, will be moving to the Special Envoy 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: for the Shield of America's our new security initiative in 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere. We are announcing on Saturday in Dral, Florida. 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: I thank Christie for her service at Homeland, and then 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: he goes on to talk about Mark Wayne Mullen. The 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 1: choice of Mark Wayn Mullen, I'm sure was already vetted 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: with the United States Senate. They wanted to make sure 29 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: that whoever the replacement would be would get confirmed. Always 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: helps to have a member of the Senate. He also 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: has good relations with Democrats. John Fretterman has already said 32 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: that he will vote for him. So we'll see how 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: that confirmation process goes. But if they were going to 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: make this move, they wanted to make it sooner rather 35 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: than later, because the closer you get to the midterm elections, 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: the harder it's going to be to get that confirmation 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: through because Democrats don't want to look like they're helping 38 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Trump out at all close to the election. So that's 39 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: partly why this happened now. The other part of it 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: has to do with Secretary Nomes performance at the Department 41 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. And let me be clear, if anyone 42 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: is in front of a camera or microphone today or 43 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: yesterday when this story came down criticizing and trashing Christy 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: Nome as the Secretary of Homeland Security, and they had 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: nothing to say about Alejandro Majorcis for the four years 46 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: under President Biden who went out of his way to 47 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: open our border and let murderers and rapists and kidnappers 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: and child molesters and drug dealers and gang members into 49 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: this country and then went to the Senate and the 50 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: House and lied through his teeth under oath saying that 51 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: there was no chaos on the border and that the 52 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: border was secure and functional. If they had nothing to 53 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: say about Alejandro Majorcis for those four years, and now 54 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: they're demanding the Christienome leave or they're dancing on the 55 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: grave of Christy Nome at Homeland Security, please do me 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: a favor and turn off your device, move away from them, 57 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: and never watch or listen to them again, because they 58 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: have absolutely no credibility. Christy Nome did a hell of 59 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: a job as the Secretary of Homeland Security in half 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: of her job. And let me be clear, any cabinet 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: secretary in the Trump administration has two jobs. Let's call 62 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: them fifty percent. One job fifty percent the other job. 63 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: Fifty percent of the job is to perform the functions 64 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: of the cabinet position that you've been given. Right, if 65 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: you're the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, half of your 66 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: job is to make sure that the Department of War 67 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: is effective, runs efficiently, Same with Marco Rubio at State, 68 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: same with Best into Treasury, et cetera, et cetera. So 69 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: half of Christy Nome's job was to run the Department 70 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, make sure the order secured, make sure 71 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: that one of the most ambitious apprehension and deportation programs 72 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: in American history is executed, which she did, get Secret 73 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: Service back under control, which she did, work on the 74 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: fentanyl issues, which she did. I mean, she did a 75 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: hell of a job running Homeland Security, but that's only 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: half of her job. The other half of her job, 77 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: along with any other cabinet secretary, is to make sure 78 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: that the President and the White House is not exposed politically. 79 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: That she did not do well, that she had some 80 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: missteps that she made some mistakes with and it appears 81 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: as though the final nail in the coffin, the final 82 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: thing that really pushed President Trump over the edge, had 83 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: to do with this advertisement that you may have seen 84 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: on cable news and other mass media markets because there 85 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: was a two hundred million dollars ad buy for this ad. 86 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: Take a look at the ad and then we'll discuss. 87 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: Why do I love these wide open spaces? They remind 88 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: me of why our forefathers came here, not just for 89 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: its beauty, but for. 90 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: The freedom only America provides. 91 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: I'm Christino. 92 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: From the cowboys who tamed the West, to the Titans 93 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: who built our cities, to the dreamers who chase the impossible, 94 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: America has always rewarded vision and grit. 95 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: Our greatness calls people to us. 96 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pause here again. I think Christian Noham 97 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: did a great job. But you come here for news, 98 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: you come here for analysis, and it's a big deal 99 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: that the Cabinet secretary got fired, so we have to 100 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: explore why we got to be real about it. This 101 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: ad at the center of the controversy is now thirty 102 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: seconds done. What has been communicated to you about the 103 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: Department of Homelands singecurity and about immigration and illegal immigration. 104 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: What have you learned? What have they told you? If 105 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: I told you that this was an ad for Christy 106 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: Nomes's next political run for office, and showed you the 107 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: first thirty seconds here, would you have said, oh, yeah, 108 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: that's a good ad. Right, See, this is part of 109 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: the problem. Okay, this is supposed to be an ad 110 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: about illegal immigration, deportations, and the Department of Homeland Security. 111 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: So far, what's it given you? Okay, let's keep watching. 112 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 2: Chance to prosper to live, how they choose to become 113 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: part of something special. Anyone who searches for freedom can 114 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: always find a home here. But that freedom's a precious thing, 115 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: and we defend it vigorously. You cross the border illegally, 116 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: we'll find you, break our laws. 117 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: We'll punish you harm American citizens. There will be consequences. 118 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: But if you come here the right way, your American 119 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: dream can be as big as these endless guys from 120 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 2: President Trump and me. 121 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: Welcome home. Okay, So we got there. It took forty seconds, 122 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: and the last twenty seconds was all about don't come 123 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: here and don't break our laws. We'll welcome you legally, 124 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: but if you come here illegally, we're going to find 125 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: you and we're going to deport you. That's a strong message. 126 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Took a while to get there. Here's the problem. This 127 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: ad ran on Fox News and on like the networks. 128 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: They spend two hundred million dollars on the ad. Buy 129 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: what illegal immigrants contemplating coming to our country illegally is 130 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: watching Fox News in English? And will this ad make 131 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: a difference to them? Do you understand? Right? Well, I'm 132 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: confused by it, and I'm not the only one. The 133 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana asked some pertinent questions about 134 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: this ad earlier this week. 135 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 4: How do you square that concern for waste, which I 136 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 4: share with the fact that you have spent two hundred 137 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: and twenty million dollars running television advertisements that feature you prominently, sir? 138 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: The President tasked me with getting the message out to 139 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: the country and to other countries where we were seeing 140 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: the invasion come from, with putting commercials out that told 141 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: them that if they were in this country illegally, that 142 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: they needed to leave or we would detain them and 143 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: remove them, and they'd not get the chance to come 144 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: back to America the right way that has been extremely effective. 145 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: Ask you to run these advertisements. Is that right? 146 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: We had that conversation, yes, before I was put in 147 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: this position and sworn in and confirmed and since then 148 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: as well. 149 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 4: Okay, you did you bid at those service contracts? 150 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: Yes, they did. 151 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: They went out to a competitive bid, and career officials 152 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 2: at the department chose who would do those advertising commercials. 153 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: And the people that you ended up picking were people 154 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 4: who had formerly done your political work back in shout 155 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 4: d kote.

There's been conversation about their subcontractors, 159 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: but we have no legal authority to look into subcontractors 160 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: on work like that. 161 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 4: Okay, And you're saying that you're testifying that President Trump 162 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: approved this ahead of time, so im understanding. 163 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people. 164 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 4: I'm asking you a short to interrupt, but the president 165 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 4: approved ahead of time. You spending two hundred and twenty 166 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 4: million dollars running TV ads across the country in which 167 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 4: you are featured prominently. 168 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. Did it correct? 169 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 4: Yes, he did. Yes. 170 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to jump in here real fast, 171 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: because there's one little thing there that a lot of 172 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: people are missing that I want to point out, because 173 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: reporting shows that this was the moment what you just saw. 174 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: Christinome in her testimony said the President Trump had approved this, 175 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: and well here's the reporting here that came out after 176 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: the fact. Final straw for Trump was nomes combative hearing 177 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: Thursday Tuesday before the Senate Judiciar Committee. Wich showed by 178 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: partisan frustration with nomes leadership. The advisor said nomes decisions 179 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: to allow twohndred million dollars on an ad campaign featuring 180 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: yourself urging those living illegally in the US to self 181 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: deport it already rankled the president for months for its 182 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: self promotional style. Okay. At the hearing, Nome tilt centats 183 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: at the President had signed off on the ad campaign, 184 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: an assertion that upset Trump, who told senators and advisors 185 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: he had not signed off on the campaign. Now, if 186 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: that's the truth, then Trump's gonna fire you. That's just 187 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: the way it is. That's just the way it is. 188 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: And again, as I mentioned, part of her job is 189 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: to not be a political liability to the White House. 190 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: I think that the cabinet secretaries have a pretty long 191 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: leash and they're able to sort of run the show, 192 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: do their thing as long as they do their job 193 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: and they don't become a political liability for the president. 194 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: And if that reporting right there is true, that's a problem. 195 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: What she just said under oath is a problem. And 196 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: Senator Kennedy sort of backed that up yesterday when asked 197 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: about his questioning of Christinome that apparently led to her reassignment. 198 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 4: The President to life for either of the hearing when 199 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: he was mad as a murder warrantction. He asked me 200 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: what I thought about Mark Wing, and I saiday, how 201 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 4: I can be very smart. See he's a very good businessman. Indeed, 202 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 4: if I didn't, if I didn't believe for two things, 203 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: I just told you, i'd left her because. 204 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: Mark one with what mine is, well, that's true. I 205 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: think he's an MMA fighter and everything. So there's Kennedy 206 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: doing his thing. But the first part there is that 207 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: the president was mad as a murder hornet after that testimony. 208 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: That backs up the reporting that you just saw, I 209 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,239 Speaker 1: think in Punch Bowler Politico. But here there's a thing Democrats. 210 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: Of course, it's never enough. You can never satisfy them. 211 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: And as far as they're concerned, they want Christy Nome 212 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: to go to jail. Yeah, because suddenly telling the truth 213 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: under oath is really important to them now. They never 214 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: wanted Alejandro Marijorcis to face any charges of perjury when 215 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: he looked those very same senators in that very same 216 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: panel in the eyes and said, the border's completely under 217 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: control and we haven't lost track of any children. We 218 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: have complete and total functional control of the border. There's 219 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: no chaos there that they don't worry about perjury for. 220 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: But they think that they have perjury charges against Christinoman. 221 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to pause here because take a 222 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: listen to what she says. Yes, it sounds like she 223 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: said the President approved the expenditure. But if you listen carefully, 224 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: there's one little thing she said there that I think 225 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: is the explanation. It's still not good, and it's understandable 226 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: why Christinome is no longer the Secretary of Homeland Security. 227 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: But take a listen to what she said here and 228 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: why it isn't perjury. 229 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 4: And you're saying that you're testifying that President Trump approved 230 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 4: this ahead of time. So I'm not understand. 231 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people. 232 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 4: No, Ma, I'm I asking you a chart, interrupt, But 233 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 4: the President approved ahead of time you spending two and 234 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 4: twenty million dollars running TV edge across the country in 235 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 4: which you are featured prominently. 236 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. Did it correct? Yes? 237 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: There it was if you heard it where she said 238 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: we worked with omb and then Senator Kenny says and 239 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: the President knew this. 240 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 4: She said, yes, running TV Edge across the country and 241 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 4: which you are featured prominently. 242 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. Did it correct? 243 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 4: Yes? 244 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: He did, all right, And so I think that the 245 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: reason why uh this first of all, again absolutely ridiculous 246 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: for any Democrat to suggest that she should be prosecuted 247 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: for for perjury on that when Alejandro majork has told 248 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: them that the border was secure and controlled. That said, 249 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who believes President Trump with a 250 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: fountain pen in his hand and a pair of reading glasses, 251 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: sits at the over office and approves or disapproves every 252 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: expenditure from every department. All right, that's not how the 253 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: federal government works. The Department of Office of Management and 254 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: Budget run by OMD Director Russ Vote. They're in charge 255 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: of approving expenditures, especially if there's something that's you know, 256 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: extraordinary out of the budget or not something typical. And 257 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: your regular expenditure is like a two hundred million dollar 258 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: ad buy. When christyom, the former Secretary of Home and Security, 259 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: just said we went through OMB, that is de facto. 260 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: OMB represents the administration, represents the executive branch expenditures. You 261 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: don't send something to the Oval Office and say, mister 262 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: President sign off on this. You send it to OMB. 263 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: Omb signs off on it. That's the executive approval. So 264 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: when she says we went to OMB, and Senator Kennedy says, 265 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: and the President knew about it, she said, yes, that's 266 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: I guess what she meant. Omb signed off on it. So, 267 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, President's approval. So again, it 268 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: looks bad, it makes the president look bad, and it's 269 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: just the latest thing that made the president look bad. 270 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: She did a terrific job as the Secretary of Homeland Security, 271 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: and she run circles around her predecessor, and she did 272 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: the near impossible on her watch. The border was shut 273 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: down within months, and last year nearly three million people 274 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: were deported either voluntarily or through apprehension through ice and deportation. 275 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: Three million. No one ever expected that much, and we 276 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: want more for all of that. She should be thanked 277 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: for not keeping President Trump out of political liability on 278 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill at a time where he needs to be 279 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: able to focus on his agenda in wage of war 280 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: in the Middle East and make sure the economy is 281 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: strong going into the midterm elections so that Democrats don't 282 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: take control of the House and then impeach him for 283 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: the next two years. That she didn't do well, and 284 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: that's the reality of politics in Washington, DC. And what 285 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: happened yesterday and the way it went down that we 286 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: just showed you. It should be a message and a 287 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: warning to all the other cabinet secretaries. The man who 288 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: made a trademark out of the phrase you're fired is 289 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: still capable of firing you. So keep your focus on 290 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: the job and get it done.
