Yesterday, Christinome, former South Dakota congresswoman 74 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: and governor who has led President Donald Trump's Department of 75 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: Homeland Security in his second term, was ousted from her position. Yesterday, 76 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump made the announcement on True Social he's 77 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 1: nominating a Senator, Mark Wayne Mullen, Republican out of Oklahoma. 78 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: To the talkbackers, a question, does a Oklahoma governor get 79 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: to choose who takes his place? I do not know 80 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: the I'll try to find the answer to that. I 81 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: don't know upfront how that process is going to work, 82 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump said. The current Secretary of Christinome Wusser as well, 83 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: and has had numerous and spectacular results parentheses, especially on 84 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: the border exclamation point. You know, I had tried years ago. 85 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: It's a freedom Friday. I could do it. I had 86 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: tried years ago, you know, doing that thing with my 87 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: fingers and here quotes. There was a point in time 88 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: where I had I had for parentheses, I had started 89 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: doing doing that thing with my palms. But I yeah, 90 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: I quickly killed that one off. You know, I think 91 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: doing nothing with my fingers is I think it's enough 92 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: doing nothing with my palms and watching you do this 93 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: with your palms. I was a legitimately doing it. It's 94 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: like I'm eating a massive breath, you know, a massive cheeseburger. 95 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. It looks like I'm eating 96 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: a huge, huge cheeseburger doing that thing with my palms. 97 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: Oh man, there's your there's your podcast one already for Friday. 98 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: So there you go. Yeah, I can tell it's going 99 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: to be a morning. All right, let's getting back to 100 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: what Trump had had said. Let's see the currents. As 101 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: Secretary Christy Nome served as well. She'll be moving to 102 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: be the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, 103 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere. We are 104 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. It sounds like he 105 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: already did. I thank Christy for her service, and Homeland 106 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: will get a little bit more into this. We actually 107 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: have the moment at the audio clip of the moment 108 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: that she probably lost her her gig. Now Democrats are 109 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: dunking on this, and that doesn't surprise me in the 110 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: least bit. Let them dunk all day, let them dunk 111 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: all they want. There's a big difference, though, and that 112 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: is the Trump administration actually holds people within the administration 113 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: responsible that things aren't going well. They don't just keep 114 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: them around for eternity. And I'll have the examples to 115 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: share with you coming up, along with Governor Tim Walls 116 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: on MS NOW talking with Jen Saki yesterday. 117 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 4: President has been clear that our risk is not having. 118 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 11: A package that's too big, it's having a package that's 119 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 11: too small. 120 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: He too, is attempting to dunk on the removal of 121 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: Christy Nome to the post. So I'll share that audio 122 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: with you.

You guys 171 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: got me well, you know, doing nothing with my palms. 172 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: I tend to agree with the talkbacker Hey. 173 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 12: Good morning. 174 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 14: Say it says a lot of our current times when 175 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 14: Christy Nolan gets housted for enforcing our border laws, while 176 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 14: my orcus he kept his job for the whole term 177 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 14: by not enforcing border laws. 178 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: Well, and thank you for that, because it really does 179 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: tee up the point that I wanted to make over 180 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: this whole issue. So Christ, you home again ousted's homeland 181 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: security amid some turmoil. Trump said that Senator Mark Wayne 182 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: Mullen has done a tremendous job in Congress and has 183 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: cited his resume as a former undefeated MMA fighter. It's 184 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: funny too, because with Democrats attempting to go and dunk 185 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: on this whole issue, that doesn't surprise me at all. 186 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no exclusivity to trying to score points 187 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: online when it comes to controversies within either party. But 188 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: it is noteworthy to go and compare and contrast the 189 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: two different parties and the party Republicans that actually go 190 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: and hold people accountable for their actions when there's you know, turmoil, 191 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: when there's a situation where maybe this position is no 192 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: longer suited for this person. Trump went on to say, 193 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: as the only Native American in the Senate, Mark Wayne 194 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: is a fantastic advocate for our incredible tribal communities. And 195 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: but the point I wanted to make on that too, 196 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: just before I get lose I lose sight of it, 197 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: is that you know, be careful what you wish for Democrats, 198 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: because yeah, Christ, you know, may no longer be there. 199 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: And as you'll hear from Governor Tim Walls here in 200 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: just a moment with the audio clips that I have 201 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: to to share. You know, this is you know, this 202 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: is the first move towards accountability regarding all of the 203 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: ridiculous false narratives that they have put forward in portraying 204 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: Operation Metro Surge as one big negative. Well, it's not 205 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: like things are going to change. As a matter of fact, 206 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: things may actually rampump who knows. Under Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, 207 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: Mark Wayne has worked tirelessly. Trump went on to say, 208 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: to keep our border to secure, stop migrant crime, murders 209 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: and other criminals from illegal entering our country, and the 210 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: scourge of illegal drugs, and make America safe again. Mullen 211 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: is the first Native American senator in decades, following Senator 212 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: Ben Knighthorse Campbell of Colorado now Nomes. Tenure marked a 213 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: distinct reversal of the open border policies by predecessor, as 214 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: the Talkbacker noted Alejandro mayorcus During the Biden administration, the 215 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: DHS has notched a record of drug interdictions totally more 216 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: than half a million pounds of illegal drugs in her 217 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: first year. Now, reports surfaced yesterday that Trump was furious 218 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: over Christy Nomes's performance in the bicomeral judiciary hearings this week, 219 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: particularly over a contract for an advertisement that Senator John Kennedy, 220 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: Republican and of Louisiana, and others grilled her on. Trump 221 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: reportedly took issue with her, suggesting to Kennedy that he 222 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: approved the taxpayer funded ad sub contracted to a firm 223 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: connected with her inner circle. According to National Review, which 224 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: also reported that Moullin was being considered as the top 225 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: candidate to replace her, a White House official confirmed to 226 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: Fox News that Trump did not indeed know about the 227 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: ad and did not approve it, despite her claims to 228 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: the contrary at the hearings. And there's another aspect of 229 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: this too. This controversy may indeed be the reason why. 230 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: But also when you sort of see the end of 231 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: an operation and we are in terms of Metro Surge here, 232 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: we're still going to have deportations across the country, but 233 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's just time for a shift in leadership. Not 234 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: unlike what took place with the Border Patrol Commander Greg 235 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: Bovino at the time of Operation Metro Surge, when it 236 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: was underway here in Minnesota. The sore familiar with the situation, 237 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: said it was a combination of her many unfortunate leadership 238 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: failures from Minnesota to the ad campaign, to the allegations 239 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: of an affair. And it's clear the administration had not 240 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: been happy with her response to the controversies that had 241 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: ensued during those ice operations here. This may have been 242 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: the moment though, during that hearing wherein she ended up 243 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: losing her gig. This is the exchange between Kennedy and 244 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: Christy Nome earlier this week. 245 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 5: I'm asking you a chart, interrupt, but the President approved 246 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 5: ahead of time you spending two hundred and twenty million 247 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 5: dollars running TV EDGs across the country in which you 248 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 5: are featured prominently. 249 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: If sir, we. 250 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 15: Went through the legal processes, did it correct? 251 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 5: Yes? 252 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: He did, Yes, Okay. 253 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 15: And one thing Senator I think would be helpful to 254 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 15: know is how effective that communications has been that overwhelming? 255 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: Give Ben your name recognition. 256 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I personally, just I mean to me, it 257 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 5: puts the President in a terribly awkward spot and it 258 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 5: and I just I'm not showing not telling the truth. 259 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 5: It's just hard for me to believe you know, I'm 260 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 5: the pressment. 261 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 6: Yea. 262 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: My guess is on this whole Trump signing off on 263 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: it is that there probably was an authorization for funds 264 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: to be used, It just wasn't an expectation of the 265 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: specificity relating to how those funds were going to be used. 266 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: Meaning these ads painting her in a particular light, She's 267 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: very much inclined to showcase her personality draw attention to herself, 268 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: maybe undue, you know. To that point, Let's go to 269 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: a friend of the show, Dan on the iHeartRadio. 270 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 13: App Happy Freedom Friday. This is Dan from Texas. Hey, 271 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 13: I think Christine onm did a very good job. I 272 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 13: think she just wasn't the media savvy enough for that role, 273 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 13: and that's why they put her somewhere else. I think 274 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 13: this example of how Trump doesn't toss people aside that 275 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 13: have skills. He just finds something that's appropriate for them. 276 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: The sign of a great leader. And you know, and 277 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: on top of that, you know, holding individuals accountable for 278 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: their actions, especially if they're making claims and simply aren't true, 279 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: even if they are misunderstandings. And this is what will 280 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: compare and contrast here in just a moment. Many Republicans 281 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: remained highly complimentary of Nome's tenure. She was very effective. 282 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: I was surprised I wasn't the biggest fan of her 283 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: being chosen for that role. And despite her I don't 284 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: know what was the nickname, that doesn't matter, they gave 285 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: her a bunch of goofy nicknames. Despite all those goofy 286 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: nicknames and her what seemed to be again desire to 287 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: have a particular profile or image while in public. Again, 288 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, maybe too big of a focus on that, 289 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: I thought she ended up doing a very good job 290 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: in the role that she was playing. Being said change, 291 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: maybe he's a good thing. And I think the Senator 292 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen is a great pick. Now, in just 293 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: a moment, I'm gonna share with you the audio from 294 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls talking with Jen Saki on MS NOW 295 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: attempting to go and dunk on this situation. And I'm 296 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: going to tell you and give you the examples of 297 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: why it is once again the height of hypocrisy for 298 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: this hack of a governor that we still have to 299 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: endure for the remainder of this year to sit back 300 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: and try to go and dunk based off of his 301 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: own actions, especially within his own government. We'll get some 302 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: more of your thoughts as well from the iHeartRadio app 303 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: on a Freedom Friday. You're listening to twin Cday's News 304 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five FM, 305 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: Don't Go Anywhere. 306 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 7: Poring everybody. 307 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 16: It's Chad and Dellano, Happy Friday. 308 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 7: I thought Christy Nolman was let. 309 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 16: Go because of something with a two hundred million dollars 310 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 16: or something about that Trump never authorized, and she's said 311 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 16: he did, all right, at least that's what all the 312 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 16: news outlets, a lot of them were saying yesterday. 313 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mentioned earlier. This was this ad 314 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: buy that she had purchased, which had painted her in 315 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: a particular light, and this was well, you know, I'll 316 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: just play the clip again. This was the exchange between 317 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: Senator Kennedy and Christy Noman the hearing earlier this week, 318 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: talking about the very issue that you're mentioning. 319 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 5: Chad, I'm asking you a chart interrupt. But the President 320 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 5: approved ahead of time you spending two hundred and twenty 321 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 5: million dollars running TV EDGs across the country in which 322 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 5: you are featured prominently. 323 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. 324 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 7: Did it correct? 325 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 5: Yes? 326 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 7: He did? 327 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: Yes, Okay. 328 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 15: And one thing Senator I think would be helpful to 329 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 15: know is how effective that communications has been. 330 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 5: That we'll go overwhelming given your name recognition, I mean, 331 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 5: I personally just I mean to me, it puts the 332 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 5: president in a terribly awkward spot, and it it and 333 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 5: I just I'm not saying you're not telling the truth. 334 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 5: It's just hard for me to buy you know, I'm 335 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 5: the president had. 336 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, And there appears to be discrepancy here. As I mentioned, 337 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: My guess is that there was an authorization of funds, 338 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: but the specificity of which Christy Noman was going to 339 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: go and spend those funds is what's being called into question. 340 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: And there's no denying that in the wake of what 341 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: had transpired here in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Both 342 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: renaannicle good and and pretty right. Some of the commentary 343 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: that was given afterwards was unnecessary. It's not that it 344 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: was inaccurate. There's a couple of different situations where two 345 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: things can be true at once. It wasn't as if 346 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: her commentary was necessarily inaccurate, and we talked about this 347 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: yesterday on the show the labeling of this being potentially 348 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: terroristic acts and things, you know, things of this nature. 349 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: Not inaccurate, but appropriate for the time, necessary for the time, 350 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: probably not, you know, we're putting hairs here. But there 351 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: is a pr campaign that's being waged, especially by the left, 352 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: over everything the President Donald Trump does, and that might 353 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: have been part of the rationale of why Christy Nome 354 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: was going and creating those particular ads, but it also 355 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: means that that could be something that the administration didn't 356 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: necessarily agree to while going and approving those particular funds, 357 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 1: you know, And so rather then continue with controversy, you know, 358 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: make a change and get somebody new in and continue 359 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: the efforts if the individual that you have in charge 360 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: is hindering the efforts in any way, shape or form, 361 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: especially regarding something as serious as illegal immigration. There's a 362 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: lot of good people within this administration, a lot of 363 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: good Republicans within Congress. Trump is now tapping one of 364 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: those individuals and putting Christine Noman in a different position. 365 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: Let's get back to your talk back from the iHeartRadio 366 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: app Morning John Sam. 367 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 17: John, I rarely disagree with your outlook on things, but 368 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 17: in the case of Christine Olme. I simply believe that 369 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 17: she was a wanna be Barbie Doll put into the 370 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 17: position because she's kind of good looking and everybody kind 371 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 17: of thought, wow, she's good to look at. But I 372 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 17: don't think she had a lot of substance under the hood. 373 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 17: And when she was put out her questioning, she said 374 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 17: a lot of stupid things and I'm sorry, you can't 375 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 17: shoot a dog because it doesn't retrieve. 376 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 7: Well, that's my opinion. 377 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: And I think that she get you. I think she 378 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: got a bad rap and a lot of it was 379 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: also self inflicted, again keeping with that idea that two 380 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 1: things can be true at once. I wasn't the biggest 381 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: fan of her being the choice for this position, but 382 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: was pleasantly surprised by her actions. But she obviously enjoys 383 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: having and putting forward a particular image, and that did 384 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: not benefit her, and it ultimately may have doomed her chances, 385 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: as she's no longer in that role anymore now. Republicans 386 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: have remained complementary of her time there. Republican Representative Clay Higgins, 387 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: a former law enforcement officer himself, said during the hearing 388 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: earlier this week that he was embarrassed by the antics 389 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: of his colleagues across the Aisle Madam Secretary, you inherited 390 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: a disaster and you turned it around and astonishing ninety 391 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: seven percent decrease in illegal crossings isn't a coincidence. It's leadership. 392 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Know that this committee has your back. When Swallwell, Democrat 393 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: right obviously pressed her on the ad campaigning contract, Nome 394 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: shot back that while the Alameda Democrat was focusing on 395 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: photo ops and luxury jets, I'm focused on the fact 396 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: that the Coastguard might not get paid because your party 397 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: is choosing not to fund them. But this administration is 398 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: not fearful of going and making change, as a previous 399 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: talkbacker said, that's leadership in my opinion, and there's plenty. 400 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: The operation is going to continue, and if Christinome was 401 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: hindering that operation bringing too much negativity to it, no 402 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: issue whatsoever in going and switching her out for somebody 403 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: else while we go and continue the efforts to deport 404 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: those who were allowed to flood into the country during 405 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: the four years of President Joe Biden. Now Governor Tim Walls, 406 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: attempting to probably make himself feel better after the hearing 407 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, which once again did not put him in 408 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: the best of lights. He went on MS Now with 409 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: Jen Saki got a couple of different clips to share 410 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: of Governor Tim Walls, first off, talking about Christinome and 411 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: saying that he essentially believes that she's going to be 412 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: locked up at some point here in Minnesota. There's Governor 413 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: Tim Walls. 414 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 8: And there needs to be and I think that that's 415 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 8: one of our founding principles that no one's above all 416 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 8: are and they're accountable. I would just say at this 417 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 8: time that the former Secretary Gnomes should probably get used 418 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 8: to spending more time in Minnesota because it's I have 419 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 8: a pretty good feeling in the future she may be 420 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 8: doing that because we have got to get accountability. We 421 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 8: need to know the people who are involved in this 422 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 8: and the ones that were caught on tape and the 423 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 8: brave Minnesotans and again they're out of Minnesota because Minnesotan's 424 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 8: took to the streets and it turns out they like 425 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 8: their constitutional rights, they like to protect their neighbour's human 426 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 8: rights and that's what Minnesotans did. 427 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: And the word salad dance that Walls does, you know, 428 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: they like to see it. He was actually more clever 429 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: than he typically is in that statement, because, first off, 430 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: we have the constitutional rights aspect of it, of which 431 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: we haven't seen any good arguments as to how any 432 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: constitutional rights were violated. But did you see when he 433 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: fle talking about the neighbors, Suddenly it wasn't constitutional rights 434 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: anymore because he knows they're talking about illegal aliens. And 435 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: it flipped two human rights. And he's an idiot, but 436 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: he's no dummy? Or is it go the other way? 437 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: Is he a dummy but he's no idiot? 438 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 7: Is it? 439 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: Does it matter? Probably ducs of one, half a dozen 440 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: the other. 441 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 8: Right, we need to count of build on every single 442 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 8: one of those. So from whether it's the murder of 443 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 8: Renee and Alex, whether it's why Liam Ramos ended up 444 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 8: in Texas, why we don't know where some of our 445 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 8: children are, why they tell stories where a gentleman with 446 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 8: a fractured skull tripped and fell entertainment, and the hundreds 447 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 8: of other aggressions all the way down to gassing of 448 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 8: children with chemical munitions out there. It's ridiculous and at 449 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 8: this point in time, and I was on the hill 450 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 8: yesterday testifying in one. 451 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 7: Of their diversions. 452 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 8: Christy Nome's down the way being asked to simply state, 453 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 8: calling Renee and Alex domestic terras is incredibly painful for 454 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 8: Minnesotan's and their family and she doesn't even have the 455 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 8: decency to do that. And so here's my question is, well, 456 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 8: maybe the president could do that for her. Maybe the 457 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 8: President could say, you're right, that's why she's gone. We 458 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 8: would do this. 459 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 460 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 8: On a day like this, I'm glad she's gone. But 461 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 8: they just keep lighting up sycophants. They just there's one 462 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 8: qualification for this job, and that's loyalty to Donald Trump. 463 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 8: And your story there of saying that you know, when 464 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 8: she shot cricket. All the rest of us are, of 465 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 8: course horrified by this. Whatever Donald Trump thinking that would 466 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 8: be good for border security. Boy, there's a psychology study 467 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 8: right there of what they think about this. And that's 468 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 8: the way they've approached this. It is whole operation of 469 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 8: Minnesota has been cruelty. 470 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: It tells you so much. I just wonder the gas 471 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: lighting is is just absolutely incredible. And again, let the 472 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: left dunk all they want, it's expected. But at the 473 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: same time, I want to show you one account ability 474 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: looks like. And this is what accountability looks like. Christinome 475 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: no longer in a good position to be where she was, 476 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: and so she's being moved. Going back to Wednesday's congressional hearing, 477 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: you want an example of the lack of accountability, let's 478 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: start here.

Say, don't all right, I'll 498 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 18: run it down with you at seven percent and then 499 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 18: in the compared to fifty four percent in the smaller community, 500 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 18: and then. 501 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 7: I think that don't have one of us to high percent. 502 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 18: I was thirty nine percent one family member at least 503 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 18: on Medicaid, it's eighteen percent for Minnesota, seventy three percent 504 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 18: for the Smiley community, and receiving welfare of some form 505 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 18: it's twenty one percent, and it's eighty one percent for 506 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 18: the Somali community. Governor, do you happen to know what 507 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 18: the percentage is of all those who have currently been 508 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 18: charged in this staggering social services fraud scheme were native 509 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 18: born Minnesota's what percentage? 510 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 8: I do not have that. 511 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 18: I think it was eighty five and eight, which comes 512 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 18: out to thirteen percent Minnesota and eighty seven percent Somali Minnesotan. 513 00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 7: So I think this is an. 514 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 18: Instance perhaps where we'll gets slept by data. A Governor, 515 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 18: there's been billions stolen over seven plus years, right under 516 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 18: your nose, and really there's only two explanations. It's either 517 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 18: you were in on it or you weren't smart enough 518 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 18: to see it. There's either criminal negligence or wild incompetence. 519 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 7: And the only way this kind of fraud can. 520 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 18: Reach this scale is if there's people in power that 521 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 18: are colluding and collaborating and willfully blinding themselves to the 522 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 18: realities around them and in oversight. 523 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: When we do an now to further reinforce this point 524 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: of a lack of accountability, I want to play you 525 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: a clip from the legislative session earlier this week because 526 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Wallas likes to talk about accountability, and he's 527 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: used retribution a lot in how the Trump administration put 528 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: ICE agents on the streets for Operation Metro Surge, examining 529 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: and looking into and investigating the billions of dollars in fraud. 530 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: Walls continues to say, it's just retribution. They're just targeting 531 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: us because they don't like me. 532 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: You know. 533 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: I imagine in his mind what he's saying now is 534 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: retribution for having his butt handed to him earlier this 535 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: week during the fraud hearing with him and Keith Ellison. 536 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: Now before I played this clip though, again talking about accountability, 537 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: the difference between President Donald Trump's administration removing individuals that 538 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: they're no longer effective in the positions that they are 539 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: versus the way that the DFL Governor Tim Walls and 540 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: his government here in Minnesota actually go and give individuals 541 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: new positions, confirm positions wherein they're the ones who have 542 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: been responsible for the fraud all along. Before we get 543 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: to this, though, I want to get back to a 544 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,719 Speaker 1: few of your comments from the iHeart Radio app mon 545 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,479 Speaker 1: A Freedom Friday. 546 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 7: Good Morning. 547 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 19: So Tim Walls says ices out of Minnesota because Minnesota 548 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 19: stuck to the streets. Well, explain why every time I 549 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 19: see mugshots three quarters of the people in the mugshots 550 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 19: are from out of state. 551 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 20: Good morning. It's the gassing of children. Man, Those parents 552 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 20: that brought their kids out there to those protests should 553 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 20: be held responsible before putting their children in danger. This 554 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 20: is literally child endangerment. But you know whatever, Waltz. 555 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he completely, he completely misconstrued what had actually 556 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: happened with that family that had shown up to get 557 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: their mom away from a protest, left their kids in 558 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: the car while they went and took part in the 559 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: ice protest, putting them in harm's way while they obstructed 560 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: federal law enforcement agents from doing their job, and Walls 561 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: goes and turns this into the gassing of children. But 562 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: here's the kind of accountability that you don't get under 563 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: the governor's him Wall's administration.
