What happened when Kristi Noem was fired and how did she react live?
Hello, I'm Ed Baba. So, two brothers talking, and boy, we should have some tea right now.
Oh, we've got some piping hot tea to talk through right now, man.
Is this karma? Tell them what we're talking about.
We're talking about Secretary... of DHS Kristi Noem being fired and then minutes, did you see the speech? Did you see her talking live?
No, I missed, I was in a meeting. So what happened? What did she talk? Why didn't you have a press conference afterwards?
We had Donald send out a truth social post and then within minutes, she goes out in Tennessee. It was a pre-planned event talking to local law enforcement. And it wasn't clear when she was talking whether she knew she was fired. Like, I mean, we saw reporting after that she knew. But I don't know, man. I saw her speaking and then she was taking questions and they were referring to her as Madam Secretary. And it was just like really embarrassing. And then obviously her term would still last at the end of the month or whatever. But like it was just embarrassing. She just went up there and did the event like nothing happened, man.
Yeah. Let me tell you. And I've been I hate to keep repeating things, but I have been saying my saying is every dog has its day. And sometimes two. And the old cliche is karma is a bitch. I believe, uh, I do believe in karma. It's not, it doesn't always come as immediately as immediate. It's not always as immediate as this. But what I will tell you is that it does come. And when it does, it's usually very satisfying. I don't take glee in anybody's downfall, except this may be the first time because she is facing the retribution and the karma, whatever it is, Jesus, whatever, whoever your God might be, Yahweh, whoever, whoever it is. Allah, she is facing the karma from all the people who were detained on the streets, who should not be detained.
All the people who were racially profiled, all the people who were profiled because of their accent, all the people who were American citizens and still got detained, all the people who spent time in jail or in a lockup or in a detention center. all of the false things that she lied about in order to be able to get those people, the lack of due process, the breaking into people's homes. She is facing that. And this is the most embarrassing thing that could happen to her. And on top of that, He will probably pardon her. Maybe he won't because he's pissed off about this whole ad thing that she allegedly or supposedly reportedly got fired for because she said that he approved this ad asking undocumented people to self-deport.
He didn't like just how glamorized and how self-serving it was. And she's saying that he approved it. He's saying that he did not. That means she lied under oath. That's perjury. Perjury. So is he going to pardon her?
That's an interesting bit because if he pardons her, he admits that What, he's saying she didn't lie?
Yeah. Or that you can't lie about him and you can get away with it.
Exactly.
So what is it? And who's she banging? That's what the Senate— Corey Lewandowski. Corey Lewandowski. Allegedly. Allegedly. We want to be clear first. He did not say no in that hearing.
No, exactly. And that's the thing here where it's like on that, the fact that this question was the final straw for him, it just shows where his priorities are. Right. Like just when she made him look bad in this hearing for that $220 million contract, that was the final straw, not the incompetence, not the lying and defamation of Rene Good and Alex Preddy after they were killed by ICE. None of it, like none of all that was OK with him. Basically, is what that signals. But really, you're right. I mean, every dog has its day.
Sorry to cut you off. It was about the appearance and that it was seen on television. Yes. That was a straw that broke the camel's back. I'm just saying. I'm sorry to cut you off.
And also, I guess only he can do the corrupt grifting because there's also the fact that those contracts for the ad deals were to affirm to her spokesperson's husband and other financial ties.
