Why is Donald Trump panicking about damage control?
Donald Trump is panicking this morning as his administration goes into damage control and as allies that Donald Trump believed he was counting on in the Middle East and elsewhere turn out not to actually be wanting to help Donald Trump as he's threatening to invade Iran also you have Secretary of State Marco Rubio talking about possibly another invasion of Venezuela as he says that Delcy Rodriguez and the regime in Venezuela is not doing everything that Rubio and Trump want them to do, and they're not able to control it the way they thought. Let's talk about what's going down this morning as you have Kristi Noem, who Most people on Capitol Hill right now are calling for her impeachment and her ouster.
She is blaming Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and the Border Patrol for calling Alex Preti a domestic terrorist and saying that Preti was there to massacre the Border Patrol, Gestapo. Everyone saw how awful Kristi Noem has been every single day of this regime and, frankly, her entire life. And now she's trying to throw Donald Trump and Stephen Miller under the bus, essentially invoking the Nuremberg defense already. And as Shannon Watts says, a reminder to all that acting under superior orders does not relieve you of international responsibility if a moral choice was possible. Yeah, the Nuremberg defense right there. Christine Ohm says, everything I've done, I've done at the direction of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller.
They're the ones who told me what to say. In addition, you had Homeland Security top official Tricia McLaughlin go on state regime media this morning and do the various shows. And she was asked about referring to Alex Preti as a domestic terrorist and how all of the things that Kristi Noem was saying turns out to be false. And obviously, America is livid at how the Trump regime has defamed Alex Preti in his death and how they defamed Renee Nicole Goode. Watch what Tricia McLaughlin says right here. Play this clip.
Secretary Noem accused Alex Preti of being a domestic terrorist. Is the administration standing by that language?
So initial statements were made after reports from CBP on the ground. That was a very chaotic scene. We know that our ICE law enforcement are facing rampant violence against them, a highly coordinated campaign. So that is why this investigation is so important so that we can get accurate facts to the American people.
Would you use that expression again, domestic terrorist?
I think that we have to really have the investigation be leading the way on this, Stuart. And again, the early statements that were released was based on a chaotic scene on the ground. And we really need to have true, accurate information to come to light. And so again, Homeland Security investigators are leading that with the FBI supporting.
All right, Tricia McLaughlin, thank you very much for being with us this morning.
Always appreciate it. And we're seeing on Capitol Hill, you know, Republicans absolutely livid at this administration and this regime. And one of the things they're saying is like, you know, on the Republican side, you know, our constituents who are supporters of the Second Amendment, who, you know, show up to protest, not with concealed carry, but show up with their weapons, you know, or show up with their guns in general. know are saying wait a minute now the regime says if you show up to a protest and you have a lawful permit and you are videotaping ice or border patrol and you have a concealed carrier if you have a gun you die and the government is going to execute you watch republican senator rand paul say also we all saw the video of the murder of alex preti
We know what we saw. Any objective observer knows that Preti was not attacking the border patrol. We see the video. And this is what we're seeing on Capitol Hill, by the way. I did a video earlier this morning where I talked about how Tom Tillis, Senator of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski, and others are saying the same thing.
What accusations are being made against Kristi Noem?
Here, play this clip.
And so when people watch that video and the government tells them, well, he was assaulting the police officers,
