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.
Chapter 2: What were the major criticisms of Kristi Noem's leadership?
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 Christine almost 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.
Chapter 3: How did Donald Trump's decision impact immigration policy?
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
Chapter 4: What are the implications of Mark Wayne Mullen taking over?
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. So today, I am with Billy Porter. And you know what Billy says.
she should be so fortunate as to end up uh in shackles and being deported from this country if that's the least that's the least that should happen to her and those under her leadership and those goons out there uh who are pulling people off the street now let the ice goons now let me tell you this you guys don't remember maybe you don't remember Bet I told you.
I said, these people are going to suffer the consequences of this. Donald Trump, nothing's going to happen to him. Chrissy Noem is going to face her day.
Chapter 5: What controversies surrounded Kristi Noem's tenure?
Pam Bondi is going to face her day. All of those ICE goons out there, they're going to suffer the consequences. And that they were basically performing these things unconstitutionally. And they were the ones that were going to be paying the price for them. And as it turns out, I was not wrong. And again, I don't take glee in anyone's demise, but this one is well deserved.
And I think the American people should today, at least for this moment, should be happy about this, except we're getting someone who could be as bad and maybe even worse than Kristi Noem if that is possible. This is the report from Fox News that I want to play about what happened again, how appropriate that it is from Fox News.
Their sources are telling them it had to do with a host of things, not just those abysmal hearings that she took part in. Roll it. That wasn't the sound bite we were looking for.
We were looking for the testimony that apparently really upset the president, where Noem said, yes, we went through the legal process and did it correctly when asked if the president authorized and approved that $200 million in spending. He did not. He said that he was not aware of this campaign, certainly did not authorize it.
And then there were also these rumors of an affair with Corey Lewandowski, a special government employee who is serving as an advisor.

Chapter 6: How did lawmakers respond to Noem's performance?
He is also married. And reports floating the last several weeks that Noem had sought to appoint Lewandowski as her chief of staff, but the president blocked that decision amid these rumors of an affair. So the combination of those factors that tipped the president's decision to elevate Mark Wayne Mullen into this position and get him confirmed.
Yeah, that's very interesting, Jackie, because, you know, the person that you're citing, the source that you're citing, and just tick off for us again the three things that they told you went into this decision, because that's not really a soft pedal the way that it was described to you. Can you go through those again one more time?
Minnesota, her handling of the fallout to the deaths in Minnesota of Renee Goode and Alex Preti, the statements that she made in public calling them domestic terrorists before some of the facts had come in and her handling of that scenario, the ad campaign, the $200 million that featured her on horseback at Mount Rushmore and claiming that the president signed off on it when he had not, and also the allegations of an affair with Corey Lewandowski.
This person close to the president described these three things as a combination of her many unfortunate leadership failures. So less a decision to move her into a new role than to get her out of the one she had been serving in. Yeah, many unfortunate leadership errors. Strong language from a source close to the president that Jackie is reporting right now.
So this is a much harder line in terms of what unfolded here. Jackie, thank you very much. So one of the people who actually questioned her about that, and I would say bears somewhat of a responsibility, and I mean that in a good way, for Kristi Noem for what happened to Kristi Noem, what should have happened to Kristi Noem a long time ago. And that is Representative Sydney Kumlager Dove.

Chapter 7: What are the expected changes in immigration policy moving forward?
She served California's 37th congressional district since 2023, and she joins us now. She was the one who questioned her about her affair and other things. Representative Hello to you. Unmute yourself, please. Thank you for joining us. How are you feeling? Because you're questioning, I think, that's one of the three reasons they gave. Well, it is so good to be on your show, Don.
I've been a super fan for a long time. And real talk, I'm still processing. I mean, it's not 24 hours since that lady was in my committee. thinking that if she just was as dull as possible and refused to answer any questions and not take any accountability, that she would leave with her job.
And lo and behold, lo and behold, turns out that sister girl got fired because of a culmination of bad choices and bad decisions. And I just asked the question that everybody else has been asking, but not publicly, so.
Chapter 8: What does the future hold for the agencies she leaves behind?
Okay, here is the question. Roll it, Andy. Oh, boy. Trump knows that this guy is shady. Corey has a decades-long record of physical battery, sexual harassment, illegal lobbying for a Venezuelan oil company, and bringing a loaded gun into a federal building.
Despite being fired or removed from virtually every position he has ever held due to misconduct, he now wields unchecked, unconfirmed, undisclosed power over your department. This person has no experience running anything close to Department of Homeland Security, or even advising someone in your position.
He is unqualified, which again has left my constituents and I wondering why he is your top official. So Secretary Noem, at any time during your tenure as Director of Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski? Mr. Chairman, I am shocked that we're going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee today. Reclaiming my time.
And ma'am, one thing that I would tell you is that he is a special government employee who works for the White House. There are thousands of them in the federal government. So reclaiming my time, Secretary, it is okay for you to be offended by the question. It is okay for you to be offended by the question. But it is also a real question. And you should be able to answer the question.
And without any hesitation, if someone is asking if you or any federal official is sleeping with their subordinate, that should be the easiest. You should be wanting to answer that question because it is not about your sex life. It is about your judgment. It is about reclaiming my time so that I can hear myself. Time belongs to the gentlelady from California. You've called Corey Lewandowski.
You're muted, Don. So she didn't say no, Representative. She said a whole bunch of words, but she didn't say no. Now, you know, it is the easiest question to answer. And it really is about leadership and credibility and judgment, your ability to clearly make decisions that impact 260,000 people that work up under you, who get up every single day.
Don, you have a business and you have moral leadership, right? And so when folks are up under you acting up, You're like, buck stops with me, boo, because I run this enterprise. So we're going to do it my way. And people are looking up to her. And these are the same people that are keeping us safe. So bad decisions.
People, detaining people, deporting people, US citizens, refugees, people trying to work through their immigration status. And she did the worst of the worst because she shot, had her agents, her agents shot and killed two white people. That's like the worst of the worst. Let alone folks that are trying to get their immigration status situated.
Let alone refugees who came here because they were running from other countries that were trying to kill them. Okay, why are you buying a $70 million luxury jet? What's up with this $200 million for an ad campaign? I watched that thing, okay? I saw, she's rolling down the, standing in front of Mount Rushmore and running through the plains on this course. Lady, give me a break.
