The world knows that they need the United States of America. They need our markets. They need our consumer. The president has a lot of leverage on his side because he has the best economy and the best country in the world that he leads. He knows that. And it's about dang time we finally have a president who uses that economic leverage to benefit American workers.

We have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences.

All that information will be compiled to help us make the best decisions on how to equip the Secret Service for what they face. But, you know, you think about how threats have changed, the dangers have changed, what they have to be prepared for. It's unprecedented, the scenarios they could find themselves in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
So we need to respect the fact that danger is all around us now, and we've got a lot of unstable people who really... have more access to more items that could be created to do damage, and that we have a situation where politics is polarizing. You know, there's something I was talking to my husband about this weekend, that there's something about the way that the media has used fear
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
to scare people, to promote an agenda, to divide people, that takes people and makes violent acts acceptable. And so the media, I would say the fake news is shameful for twisting and telling lies that divides people and doesn't bring us together on a shared purpose.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Yes, right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
I believe that still holds true today. So we need to make sure that there's still voices out there of truth and people who still love each other.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
I mean, that's... That's really why we were created is that we're all human beings. We may disagree on a few things, but boy, we were created to serve each other. And that's what we need to be reminded of as well. Well, amen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Yes, that's right. That tells you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
No, I didn't. It was kind of shocking, actually, because it was sitting right by my feet. I actually felt... My purse, he hooked it with his foot and drug it a few steps away and dropped a coat over it and took it. But, you know, I felt it, but I thought it was my grandkids kicking me in the legs. But it was very professionally done. And I think that is, yes, the theft was.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
And it tells me that this happens all the time to people. And that they live in communities where this is a danger and it reaffirms why I'm here. My job is to make sure that I do everything every day I can to make our communities safer. And President Trump recognizes that families shouldn't have to live with any kind of violence in their lives.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
I don't know. And there's an investigation going on. But I think I was a busy grandma with four kids, four grandkids under the age of four. And I was, you know, taking care of them and feeding them food and enjoying my family. Yeah. But certainly had my purse even touching my feet. And that's how vulnerable people can be.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
So I think we need to be aware, but also be making sure there's consequences for people like that that make a living off of harming other people.

It's wonderful to be here. Thank you so much for inviting me.

Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Oh, it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal what leadership can do in the White House to make a difference for the American people. You know, honestly, if you look at the southern border, which was the number one priority of this president and concern of the country, it's under 99% operational control, which is phenomenal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
We set the record for the lowest encounters at the border in February and March in the history of the nation. So not only did he fundamentally change everything, Yes. In the first 100 days. But he is doing a better job securing the border than we ever have in the nation's history.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Well, and what President Trump tasked me with specifically was communicating to people that we were securing our border. And if you were coming to this country to turn around and go back. So we actually have ads running in international countries that are running in Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico that are saying, if you were thinking about coming to the United States illegally, don't do it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
You can't get in. And if you get here, you can be charged criminally and we will take you back. So there will be consequences if you continue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Is that actually happening? Yes, they absolutely are. And that's the one thing that the president really wanted people to know is that there's consequences now. Before, under Joe Biden, you could break the law, you could perpetuate violence, you could do whatever you wanted to do, and they did nothing. But President Trump said, Christy, we need to communicate what the consequences are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
It's one of the reasons I visited that prison, was to talk to President Bukele, ask him not only— You know how he had fundamentally changed the future of his country, because if you think about what the transformation that has happened in El Salvador since he's been president, it's phenomenal. He's got one of the lowest murder rates in the world.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Yes, it's incredible what he has done. And he's done it through leadership and consequences. And that prison President Trump wanted people to see, to know that it could be a real consequence for those that are members of foreign terrorist organizations. And that these gangs, MS-13 and TDA, are terrorists. They have been conducting terrorist operations in this country and they need to get out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
I know they really did. It was kind of interesting, yeah, that they thought that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
And I think people, you know, people have their criticisms, but it makes a big impact and people see it. And they recognize that that's possible for those individuals that are doing what the things that those men in those cells raped children. Yeah, they were child pedophiles. They were murderers. They weren't people that were out there, you know, getting speeding tickets.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
These were individuals who made a life of violence. And to have consequences like that is pretty impactful for people to understand the message across this country.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Well, you know, Seacott is a prison that will hold 40,000 prisoners. There's about 80 prisoners in each cell. I spent a lot of time with the warden and the president talking about it, and they just said nobody will ever leave there. They will live there until they die of natural causes. It is a life sentence that they will spend there, and he wants to build another prison.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
You know, he had MS-13 overtaking his country. And so he went hard after them. And he said, if you don't get aggressive in the United States, you will have that happen in America. And we do have some MS-13 members now in the United States that were born here. They're citizens.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
So that gets even more complicated and why we need to get so aggressive at getting them out and having them returned back to their home country before they get a foothold and recruit more of our children.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Yes, absolutely. People need to see them. They need to understand why I'm out there with them. The reason I'm out there with them and with our ICE agents, HSI, CBP, Coast Guard, is because I want to know what their lives are like. They've never had a secretary go out there in years and years and spend a day with them, do patrols with them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
That's where I found out that our ICE agents need new authorities so that when they can interdict drugs... They can't arrest them. So getting them that training and authority they need to do that, I wouldn't have learned that if I hadn't gone out there and spent time with them. I wouldn't have learned that some of the equipment that HSI was using and CBP didn't work.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Some of them had bulletproof vests that weren't certified anymore. Some of them didn't have the authority to make some decisions that were best to really enforce the law that the president directed. Yeah.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
You don't learn how vulnerable we are if you don't realize the weak spots, and that's why I'm out there on the front lines talking with them and finding out what do you really need to do your job, and do you understand what the president wants you to do and that he's got your back, and he wants you to enforce the law.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
So that communication with the American people is important, but it's also important for me making decisions every day. I don't want to take all my information from people sitting behind desks in Washington. I think we've seen that that doesn't work.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
I honestly haven't. I've never seen Democrats go out and endorse and fight for the freedom of a terrorist. Someone that a court said was a terrorist, that an immigration appellate court said was a terrorist, that local law enforcement.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
agents built a case and said he was a terrorist that had perpetuated violence against his family had been suspected of human trafficking by moving people from texas to maryland in 2022 as well and that when he was incarcerated and picked up was surrounded by terrorists and the fact that they would try to say this guy is a normal um father from maryland that that they should be advocating for to come back to this country there's just no scenario where that should ever happen
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
I believe it was, and I believe it was either from that or from local law enforcement. But it was from people that had built a case against him. And that's what I think the American people need to understand is we don't just go out and look at tattoos and arrest people and deport them. Right. We build a case against each of these individuals.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
We have Homeland Security investigations and experts that go out and build a case to make sure that these people are who we believe that they are and that many of them have been prosecuted and convicted and that they need to leave this country because they hate America.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Oh, absolutely. We're making sure. And that's one of the things that President Bukele and I talked about when I was in El Salvador was that we know who these people are. We're sending you people who belong here. And he told us that he would certainly take more and that we should always make sure that they're members of those two gangs, because that's what that place was built for.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
We are working on people that have final removal orders. So we've deported hundreds of thousands of people that have final removal orders, which means they overstayed their stay. They missed appearances in immigration court, and they've been told that they have to leave, and they never have. So they've knowingly violated the law.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
We also are enforcing a law that was put in place after World War II called the Alien Registration Act. that says if you are here illegally, you need to register within 30 days. If you don't register with the federal government, then that you could be charged criminally and you'll be deported and you'll never get to come back.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
If you self-deport, you decide, okay, I'm here illegally and I want to be an American. I want to come to this country. I love it. I want to work here. Then self-deport, identify yourself, and then we will make sure you get the chance to come back to this country.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Oh, absolutely. And I think we've already seen big action, but we've already seen because of that message that you can self-deport and then you can come back again, that you get a second chance. Thousands of people are self-deporting.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
So thousands of people are taking themselves home and we're working on helping those financially that want to self-deport so we can maybe help them with a commercial airline ticket too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Yeah. Yeah. Well, the Secret Service is filled with phenomenal human beings. I mean, there are people that took a pledge to, you know, enforce the law and to go out and to be protectees and investigations and respect this country and love this country. And they took the extra risk to protect the most powerful, the most powerful individuals in the country.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
So, you know, we need to appreciate that every day and continue to give them the respect that they deserve. The investigations are still ongoing. We're making sure that we do due diligence.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
And then also recognizing that President Trump has put a new director in place, Sean Curran, who was his lead detail that brings an agent's perspective to it. You know, you put somebody in an administrative role that has actually been on the front line and done these jobs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
They bring better information to that job on what can we do to equip and to train these individuals to do better the next time. One of the things I'm focused on is communication. What we saw happen in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a breakdown of communication.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
And that's something that we at Homeland Security can help direct. You know, I have FEMA. I have TSA, Secret Service. We have the Coast Guard. There can be a plan and a pattern for communication on how we interact with state and local law enforcement officials that can be a uniform process so that that consistency is there, that we don't have what happened in Pennsylvania happen again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
And don't forget, we had an assassination attempt in Florida as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
There are people out there now that perpetuate violence against the president, but also against our law enforcement officers. It's increased 300% just during this administration because of the enforcement actions that were taken. So we need to make sure that we're giving them all the tools and equipment and training they need for every scenario they could encounter.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Kristi Noem On The Border, Deportations, The Secret Service and More | Episode 28
Yes, absolutely. We are digging into that and getting the information. It's been slower than we wanted because Joe Biden and his administration slowed us down. But we have a director now that's going to be giving us a lot more details and information of what he's able to uncover. And, you know, you have the Senate. that did a report, and the House that did a report as well.

In the conversations that I've had this week with Canadian officials, they were hoping to avoid the tariffs and had a lot of conversations but not a lot of action.

The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
We need access to their criminal background system so that we know when someone crosses that northern border, who they are, why they're in our country, and who they may be partnering with.
