You got to hit the like and the thumbs up. It affects the algorithm. More people become aware of our channel and our conversation. I know, 506, can you believe? Ready to go before, but we had to do a couple things. We had to make sure that we didn't have any breaking news that we were talking about because we did. Y'all know why I'm laughing, right?
like i'm in church i feel like i want to go to church right now uh because cricket has finally gotten some justice yes yolanda yes you are right bye bye barbie so we are gonna start with this breaking news that came over and how appropriate that it happened on fox roll it andy
We do need to have some breaking news. This comes a day after a difficult couple of days on Capitol Hill in both the House and the Senate for Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary. She is being replaced. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen is now going to take over her job. The president making the announcement on Truth Social just a short time ago. He writes, quote, I am pleased to announce that the highly respected United States Senator from the great state of Oklahoma, Mark Wayne Mullen, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, effective March 31st of this year. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served as well and has had numerous and spectacular results, especially on the border, will be moving to be special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, which is a new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere that they're announcing on Saturday at Doral in Florida.
The president says, I thank Christy for her service at Homeland. So this comes amid reports that the president was none too pleased about the advertising campaign money that came to light during these hearings, Sandra. And so just in the last 24 hours, we've heard a lot of rumors that Mark Wayne Mullen may be tapped for DHS. And now it appears the president has made that decision and that's going to happen the end of the month.
So Kristi Noem was fired. What are y'all having for dinner tonight? You know me. You guys know me. You know my heart. I do not take glee in anyone's demise, except for Kristi Noem and some others that I will when it happens. Because let me tell you why I don't feel bad about this. Because, you know, yes, I believe in turning the other cheek and forgiveness and all those things in time. But I'm also petty. I'm also petty McPetty. Because Kristi Noem has ruined lives, and she's responsible for ruining lives. And not just ruining lives, she's responsible for taking lives. People lost their lives under her supervision and her, I shouldn't say leadership, under her failures at the Department of Homeland Security.
People lost their lives. Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretty, and others. And let's not forget the people who were shot, the people who were dragged out of their homes in their underwear, the people who were dragged across the snow in the freezing cold, the people who were Their cars were rammed. The people whose homes were broken into with battering rams. They did not have a judicial warrant. They said, we have an administrative warrant, that's enough. The people who ended up going to countries that they had no idea where they were, even if they had done nothing wrong. The people who were not the violent criminals who they promised to take off of, to deport or detain. The people who were none of those, the people who did not get due process.
And for all of that, I say, good, fuck you, Kristi Noem. I hope you disappear and no one ever sees you again in a leadership role. Because those things should not happen to anyone. And those things should not happen, especially in America. This is supposed to be a democracy. And according to the Trump administration, this is supposed to be a meritocracy. This is supposed to be a meritocracy, which means the qualified people should be the ones who get the jobs and who end up in the leadership roles.
