WEBVTT - Breaking:  Kristi Noem OUT as DHS Secretary 

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Hey, that folks, Thursday, March fifth, and the news just

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>keeps oncoming. Christinome is out. Welcome to this breaking news

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 1>episode of Amy and TJ. Just wanted to hop on

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.479
<v Speaker 1>because the news is just coming across. The Secretary of

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Home Land Security, Christinome, who is maybe robes outside the President,

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>might have been the most high profile faiths of the

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>administration in many days and weeks. She's been fired. No

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>other way to put this, is it.

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean she's been demoted. I think maybe would

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>be a better way to put it. But she, Yes,

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 2>she has been fired from the position. She has been

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 2>removed from the position of the Department of Homeland Security,

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the secretary of DHS. She's now being given a position

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>that is well Son's made up to be honest, but

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>it is kind of in a way because it is

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a position that has not existed before.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and Christy Nome, we should let you know

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>this news is coming to us just a matter of

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>minutes before we hopped on here. But she still is

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>keeping a commitment she had in Nashville, Tennessee. She had

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a live event and we can actually see a live

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 1>feed of her taking questions. This is a law enforcement event.

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So she is continuing in the role, but it is

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be over by the end of this month.

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Christy Nome is the headline, folks. A Department of Homeland

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Security Secretary Christie Nome is out. The President is replacing her,

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>putting her somewhere else. We do know. This is from

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the President himself. We put out a pretty long post

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 1>explaining he's removing her and also telling us he already

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>has a replacement.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he is going to replace Christy Nome with Senator

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. He is going to become

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Homeland Security, but he does have to

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>be confirmed by the Senate, so there is that hurdle

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>that will still have to take place for he is

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>officially named DHS secretary.

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Who knows about that. He's going to be going before

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>his colleagues, his fellow colleagues. You can see if he

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>can get it across the finish line with the votes.

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I kept trying to think of what the votes and

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>when this would happen, and the hearings we have to

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>have now and going through all of this so that

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>process is to come. But Rove, this is there a

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>member of the administration who had been under more fire

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>than Secretary Nome. That has to be no, certainly not.

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>And in recent days even the President had whispered, and

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>there were whispers and rumors and articles being written that

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Christy Nome possibly might be replaced because the President the

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 2>final straw for him was he did not appreciate her

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>testimony in front of that committee where she was grilled

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>about this expensive ad campaign that we all saw in.

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Airports across this country.

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>And she told Senator Kennedy, I believe that President Trump

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 2>okayed it. Well, apparently President Trump said yeah, I did

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>not okay, And so for a lot of folks they

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>felt like he was.

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Pissed en off.

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Now, given all the events in Minnesota and certainly a

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of the headlines that have been going around for weeks,

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>this was the final straw.

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>And this is what the President said in a post

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>on truth social announcing to everyone that yes, she was

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>being replaced. Quote, I am pleased to announce the highly

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>respected United States Senator from the great state of Oklahoma,

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Mark Wayne Mullen, will become the United States Secretary of

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Homeland Security THEHS, effective March thirty first, twenty twenty six.

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>The current Secretary, Christy Nome, who has served us well

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and has had numerous and spectacular results, especially on the border,

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>will be moving to Special Envoy for the Shield of

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the Americas, our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere.

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>We are announcing on Saturday in durral Florida. I thank

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Christy for her service at Homeland. Now. He has another

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>longer paragraph after that, but just talking about the new guy.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>It was interesting at the top ropes. He didn't announce

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the first thing out of his mouth was the announcement

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>of a new person versus saying I'm doing something with

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the other person. She seemed almost like an afterthought in

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the message one.

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Hundred percent, and you have to think that was by design.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>He just wants her to go away. He doesn't want

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to hear her name, He doesn't want to hear the

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>complaints and the uproar about how she led the Department

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 2>of Homeland Security. So I think, yeah, he was like

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>out with the old, in with the new, let's start

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 2>with the new. He was producing it like, let's get

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 2>the big announcement here.

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 3>That I really want you to focus on.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I want you to focus on how excited I am

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>about the new Department of Homeland Security.

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that other person.

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, she's gone. We've got her in another position. That

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have her oversea. That sounds like, honestly

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 2>a Marvel comic book.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know TuS the Shield of the Americas. We

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that is. A security initiative in the

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Western hemisphere, a little vague. We'll get the details this weekend.

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess she will too about what her new job is.

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Does she have a say in this this job? Is

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>she have to just be reassigned? Can she say no,

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you for that gig.

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I think she is most likely going to say thank you, sir,

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 2>and I will do I will serve as you ask.

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>But it is fascinating to watch her on this podium

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>and to listen to some of the anchors wondering because

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>no one is asking her. Anyone in that room has

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>a microphone, can ask for a question.

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 3>She is literally taking Q and A.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 2>But these are not journalists, these are law enforcement officials, officers.

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>So the speculation was maybe the folks in the room

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 2>don't even know. That's how new this information is. And frankly,

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I was we were done for the day and you said, babe,

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>there's breaking news. And look, unless you're paying close attention,

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 2>this is something that could slip by. So she has

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 2>not had to speak on it. Of course, every news

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 2>outlet is closely monitoring this press conference to see if

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>anyone asks her about it.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>The President didn't have to do what he did in

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.119
<v Speaker 1>the message either. Yes, she didn't get top billing. Yes,

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe she was an afterthought, but he Robes did say

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>pleasant things about her, and he didn't have to.

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:04.799
<v Speaker 3>And he thanked her for her service.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he could have said something nasty. First of all,

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.799
<v Speaker 1>he could have not said anything. He made a choice

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>to do that as well. And maybe this will I

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 1>don't know him, maybe just being a nice guy. But

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>she has had a rough rough go for the past

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>several months, certainly starting in Minneapolis with what happened on

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the streets. But Robes, that's got to be it's got

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>to be the start of her undoing the Alex Pretty death,

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>not the Renee Good, but Alex Pretty. When she came

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>out and called him a domestic terrorist. When we all

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>saw video with our plane eyes told us something else.

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>That was an awful situation, Robes, and she had an

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>opportunity here at these hearings to clear the air, and

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it was not a good look for her.

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we actually talked about this the only remedy look.

0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 3>I think.

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 2>I do believe no matter how you feel about Christinome

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.799
<v Speaker 2>and her policy and even her delivery of her policy

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 2>or the president's policy, I think we all know that

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 2>sometimes something looks or sounds one way, and then once

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>you actually see the video you get more information, you

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 2>realize it's another thing. And it would have been such

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 2>a smart move on her part to acknowledge that because

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>people we're not dumb, and I think as leaders, when

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you treat the American people like we're stupid, like we

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 2>don't see what we see, or you're telling us what

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>we are looking at isn't real or isn't true, or

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>is something altogether different, you are now going to completely

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>lose all trust with the American people, Republicans and Democrats,

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>because when you're saying to us something we know not

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to be true with a smile on your face, and

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 2>then you refuse to apologize for it or say you

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>know what, you're right. I didn't characterize that correctly. I

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>should have taken more time. You know how far that

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>would have gone in re establishing trust. You can make

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a mistake and then say, look, I am going to

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 2>do better and I apologize. She doubled down, and that

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>certainly there weren't even Republicans necessarily defending her.

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I know she could have got you say, it would

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>have gone a long way. But it went a long

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>way the other direction in making me think that we're

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>not dealing with serious people. We're looking at the video.

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, it's okay. You're an adult. It's okay. You

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>know it's adults. Sometimes we have to say I'm sorry.

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you say my bad. And even if you don't

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>want to apologize, you could at least say I have

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>new information now. And that wasn't It's very simple stuff.

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>The guy is dead, we saw him shot. You called

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>him a terrorist. Okay, you didn't have all the information.

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>That's not hard to do. And if for an adult

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>under oath sitting in that stage, who is that important

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>of a high profile role for the American people to

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>not even just be what is the point? What is

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the pride part in politics that you can't say you

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>made a mistake.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't know the answer to that.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>That was stunning in that hearing room. It's okay, lady,

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:10.680
<v Speaker 1>it's okay.

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Alex pretty had a cell phone in his hands.

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, I misspoke. I didn't have it all and

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>now did I see it? That's not how you know what.

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>They didn't even ask for an apology. Can you just

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>say that labeling him as a terrorist was wrong? Do

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you think he's a terrorist? As you sit here today?

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.199
<v Speaker 1>She wouldn't even answer that.

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 2>I know these hearings are So you start watching these

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>hearings and you say, I don't even want to continue.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to turn this off, because when you can't

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 2>see people speaking the truth, telling the truth, being honest,

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>being real, when you just see people refusing to acknowledge reality,

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 2>it's numbing.

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 3>At a certain point.

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>And so, look, she is out of a job, but

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 2>she's moving into another one. It'll be really interesting to

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>see if this is actually a position where she will

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 2>be visible in any way.

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Highly doubted, highly doubt it. Get a good look at

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>this press conference. We will not see her for the

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.959
<v Speaker 1>rest of the month. Probably she has until the thirty first,

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.839
<v Speaker 1>they say ropes, I'd be very surprised if we see her,

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and yes, we talk about what happened in Minneapolis, how

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 1>high profile that was as far as a disaster for her,

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>But we saw other things Robes. You just mentioned those

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>two hundred million dollars in ads. Well, there's also some

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>luxury jets that might have been her undoing. I continuing

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>here with the breaking news Christy Nome, DHS Secretary of Robe.

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Some people might have said they saw this coming, but

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Homeland Security, she has been fired by

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the President, demoted certainly to a new position. We don't

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what that is yet. The Special Envoy for

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the Shield of the Americans, a new security initiative in

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the Western hemisphere. Not kidding that is he That's what

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 1>it says. Man, She's taken over our hemisphere. So maybe

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>this is a new it's an upgrade.

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I was just wondering, was he trying to make it

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 3>sound bigger.

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Sounds bigger. Really, this is a demotion, so she was

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>just dealing with the Homeland. Now she's got a hemisphere,

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>so maybe he is making it sound.

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like that is exactly what he was

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 2>trying to do to try and make her feel better

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.559
<v Speaker 2>about getting a lower position.

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Ah and some people you see what was going on

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>on the streets of Minneapolis and the job she's done,

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:38.079
<v Speaker 1>and what's been happening with border agents and okay, take

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>issue with her job performance and stuff we can see,

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>but rose behind the scenes what might have done her

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 1>in as well. There's been so many reports that she

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 1>likes to roll in luxury. Christine ellm is H has

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>been known to not be afraid to spend money to

0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 1>upgrade and a couple of jets that were perched to

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the tune of one hundred and fifty plus million I

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>think it was one hundred and seventy million dollars for

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Homeland Security one of them to upgrade

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>her own plane that she travels around on. It just

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>set off alarm bells. There were tons of reports about

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it's just not again, this is the department, this is

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the administration. What was I can't even remember the name

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>of the thing. Elon Musk, what was his department saving

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.559
<v Speaker 1>all this was? Yeah, the part of those department, They

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>saving all this money. And now it seems that was

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>another issue that seeing brobe to go along with what

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.680
<v Speaker 1>we saw in the hearing. I didn't even realize the

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>ads cost that much.

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't either, and apparently there was limited it was

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>a limited competitive bid.

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And oh yeah, oh god.

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so there was all of that, and then they

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 2>made a point to say she was prominently featured throughout

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the entire att It was basically a Christie Noome. It

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 2>was adah where Christi Nome looked powerful and beautiful, Yes,

0:12:58.240 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>earning her nickname.

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Ice Barby, name Ice Barby. But yeah, so there was

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 3>a lot.

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Of finger pointing when it came to all of those

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 2>choices she made.

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 3>In addition to yes, what happened Minneapolis, it wasn't just Minneapolis.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 3>There were a number of issues.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>But the reports are in several places that the thing

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>that did her in Robes in fact, was those ads

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and her not just the ads, but how she performed

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 1>at the hearing when she's questioned about it by a

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Republican up there, Louisiana Senator Kennedy was questioning her, and look,

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>if it was a Democrat, he would have been yelling

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>at her, but he was asking her very pointed question

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Robes about why this has happened, why this much money,

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and who gave you the okay? And the problem is

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>who she said okay?

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Did Yeah, she said President Trump did, and I believe

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Senator Kennedy said, mister Trump called him and said, just

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 2>so you know, that's not what happened. So he verbally

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 2>contradicted Christy Nome, or you could say Christy Nome said

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 2>something that either wasn't true or President Trump didn't appreciate

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 2>or both.

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 1>It was a bad It was one of the worst

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>moments of the hearing to hear him question her about

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 1>why do we need to see your face and spend

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>two hundred million dollars to promote you? Will to promote you?

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 1>She said, well, the President said it was okay, and

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that might have been her undoing robes. This is a

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>huge story because she has been a huge name in

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the middle of a huge topic in this country and

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>now she's out. And by the way, robes the Department

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of Homeland Security seems pretty damn important right now.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 3>It certainly does.

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not funded. It's not funded, and it's not lead.

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not.

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 2>But we did get as the second part of President

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Trump's truth social post, he went on to talk about

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the person who he wants to take Christy Nome's place,

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and I say that because he does have to be

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 2>confirmed by the Senate. But here is what he said

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 2>about Mark Wayne. He said, serving ten years in the

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 2>United States House of Representative and three in the Senate,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Mark Wayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 2>people of Oklahoma, where I won all seventy seven out

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 2>of seventy seven counties in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:23.239
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. A MAGA warrior and former undefeated professional

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 2>MMA fighter, Mark Wayne truly gets along well with people

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 2>and knows the wisdom and courage required to advance our

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>America First agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate,

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Mark Wayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible tribal communities.

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Mark Wayne will work tirelessly to keep our border secure,

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>stop migrant crime, murderers and other criminals from illegally entering

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 2>our country, and the scourge of illegal drugs.

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 3>And make America safe again.

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Mark Wayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security.

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for your attention to this matter.

0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>All so, we'll say he gets approved. Haking get approval

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>through the Senate, but a shakeup, for sure, one that

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>many maybe saw coming, one that many maybe were hoping for.

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>For quite some time, but Christ you know, is out

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>at the Department of Homeland Security again. Folks didn't expect

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:13.760
