So we've got some major breaking news, Justin. Donald Trump has officially fired Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Gnome. This is a major development that comes after Gnome's disastrous hearings in front of Congress. over the past few days, where she was ripped apart not only by Democrats, but by Republicans as well. My name is Brett Micellas with the Midas Touch Network. Remember to hit subscribe now and help us get to seven million subscribers.

So Trump says that he is replacing Gnome with Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, effective March thirty first. And he's now spinning Gnome's exit as Gnome moving to be a special envoy role for some new project he's calling the Shield of the Americas. But make no mistake, Christy Gnome has been fired. After a disastrous Senate hearing this week where even Republicans turned on her, Gnome became too radioactive to keep.

Here's Trump's post. He just wrote, 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. twenty twenty six. The current secretary Christy Nome, who has served us well, has had numerous and spectacular results, especially on the border, will be moving to be special envoy for the Shield of the Americas.

our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Durral, Florida. I thank Christy for her service at homeland, serving ten years in the United States House of Representatives and three in the Senate. Mark Wayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful people of Oklahoma, where I won all seventy-seven out of seventy-seven counties in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty and twenty-four, a MAGA warrior, blah blah blah blah blah. I think yeah.

get it right there. Now Gnome's position collapsed quickly after she made what was considered a cardinal sin during her Senate hearing the other day. She had told Republican Senator Kennedy that it was Trump's idea for her to do this two hundred million dollar ad campaign that she started.

Trump, it seems, felt like no one was blaming him, and he claimed that he had nothing to do with that campaign. Here's a post from Fox correspondent Bill Mulligan, uh for this is from before the firing, and he says the following. DHS Secretary Christian Ohm is now treading in some dangerous waters.

She testified in the Senate this week that President Trump approved of and was aware of a$200 million ad campaign that featured her prominently. Trump now tells Reuters in a phone call he did not sign off on it. Quote, I never knew anything about it, Trump said.

So that is what reportedly did it. It wasn't her horrific handling of natural disasters or her out of control use of ICE and border patrol, which resulted in the deaths of multiple Americans, but rather her blaming Trump for a massive ad campaign. So let's dive into the clips that ended Christy Gnome's career. Here was Senator Kennedy, grilling Gnome on the$220 million worth of commercials she made that featured her prominently. Play the clip.

That concern for waste, which I share, uh with the fact that you have um Spent two hundred and twenty million dollars running television advertisements that feature you prominently. Um Sir, the President tasked me with getting the message out to the country and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from.

with with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally that they needed to leave or we would detain them and remove them and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. Um the that has been extremely effective. Ask you To run these advertisements, is that right? We had that conversation, yes, before um I was uh put in this position and sworn in and confirmed and since then as well. Okay. Did you um

Did you bid out those those service contracts? Yes, they did. They went out to a competitive bid and career officials at the department chose who would uh do th those advertising commercials.

And the people that you ended up picking were people who had formerly done your political work back in South Dakota. Is that right? No, that's not correct, sir. No, it's not, sir. Uh we d the individuals who Uh I believe the careers who they chose uh were two different media firms. Um there's been conversation about their subcontractors, but we have no legal authority to look into subcontractors on work like that. Okay. And you're saying that you're testifying that President Trump

approved this ahead of time. Some understanding. Uh we had conversations about making sure that we were telling people No ma'am across I'm asking you, uh sorry to interrupt. But the President approved ahead of time you spending $220 million

running T V ads across the country in which you fe are featured prominently. Yes, sir. We went through the legal processes, did it correctly, yes. He did. Mm-hmm. Yes. Okay. Um And one thing, Senator, I think would be helpful to know is how effective that communications has been. I mean to me it puts the president in a terribly awkward spot and it it

It and I just I'm not saying you're not telling the truth. It's just hard for me to believe. No, I'm the president as I do that you said Mr President. Here's some ads I've cut and I'm gonna spend two hundred and twenty million dollars running'em, that he would have agreed to that. I don't think Russ votes. uh at O and B would have agreed to that. I I it's something we have to defend. I'm on the appropriations committee.

I'm I mean uh my my research shows that you did not bid them out, that you you pick in fact one of the people you picked The strategy group I'm sorry, uh Safe America Media was a company formed eleven days before You picked'em and that the strategy group got most of the money and the head of that is

Married to your former spokesperson. I'm I'm I'm look, we all have friends who are qualified. I'm not quippling with that. I I'm just It troubles me quarter a a fifth to a quarter of a billion dollars of taxpayer money when when we're scratching for every penny and we're fighting over rescission packages.

Um uh uh uh secretary are you still running those ads? No sen Senator, I did not have anything to do with picking those contractors. I know politicals at the Department of Homeland Security didn't understand. Are you still ready to do that? I think the ads are due to end here in March, I think within a week or two. I'm not sure of the updates. Uh the one that is running is focusing on angel families. Have you seen that? It is the one that's talking about this is our why.

This is why we work every day. It's for the angel families and their victims. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Here was Republican Senator Tom Tillis calling Gnome a disaster, highlighting the innocent Americans being detained by ice. Play the clip. So why am I disappointed with Secretary Nome? Because we're not going after enough people who did this damage at the expense of running numbers that Stephen Miller wants out of the White House. We just want numbers.

We want a thousand a day, six thousand a day, nine thousand a day because numbers matter, right? No, they don't matter. Quality matters, not quantity, quality. And what we've seen is a disaster. Under your leadership, Miss Gnome, a disaster. What we've seen is innocent people getting detained that turn out are American citizens. I could talk about the culture that's been created here with with Stephen Miller aiding and abetting.

I heard first reports and he was the one that said it was a domestic terrorist situation where two people lost their lives in Minneapolis. I've heard that report. Maybe you can refute it. I don't know that we'll have time for you to respond because I've given you a performance evaluation here. I'm not looking for a response.

Now let's go through some other moments. Here's Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell asking Noam if anyone has been fired for the agency's failures. Play this. Tell me then, has a single ICE agent or C BC officer?

has a single ICE agent or C V P officer been disciplined Since you've been Secretary of Homeland Security, as we've seen women dragged through their streets by their hair and thrown into unmarked cars, people chased through the fields and factories where they work, public executions happening in our streets, has a single

ICE agent or C V P officer been disciplined. Yes, they have. How many? There's I don't know the number. I can get that for you. If you're not going to be able to do it, you think that number is important? I think that it's wise and smart and what we're doing is accurate according to the law by doing those internal investigations.

through the process that's set up. There's an office of professional responsibility that does the investigation and decisions are brought before the National Use of Force Board and they review each incident as objectively outside of that um law enforcement encounter and then be re give a decision for Has anyone lost their job? There could be. Well I'm not asking if it could be, I'm asking has anyone been fired? For conduct related to enforcement.

We hold our law enforcement officers accountable and are grateful that they serve, that they put their lives on the line, and also recognize that when these situations, that they follow their training, and the legality of the course to how they interact with the public. Here's Jamie Raskin asking Noam if she still considers Renee Nicole Good and Alex Predi, the Americans killed by ICE, to be domestic terrorists.

Nome refused to say no. Play the clip. But only a few hours after they were gunned down by your agents, you called Renee a domestic terrorist. You said Alex committed an act of domestic terrorism. Alex's parents has responded to your calling their son a domestic terrorist. They said the sickening lies

told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Now I want to give you a chance before the entire country to correct Your false and defamatory claim, based on what you know today, Madam Secretary, were Renee Good and Alex Predi domestic terrorists? Congressman What happened in Minnesota in those two incidents was an absolute tragedy. Were they domestic terrorists as you said to the country? Is that an apology for what you said?

We in those instances offer as much information as we can from officers and agents on the ground in a chaotic scene that gets I'll repeat my question reclaiming my time. Based on what you know today. Madam Secretary, based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Predi domestic Terrorists.

There's ongoing investigations that are being led by the Oh but you didn't wait for the investigation, did you? You didn't wait for the evidence. You proclaimed that they were domestic terrorists at the time. Why did you do that? And you didn't wait to attack our law enforcement. What did you call? Because our ICE officers and our HSI officers that day risked their lives to protect that scene. So evidence could be reclaimed, so it could be used in the investigation.

Because those violent rioters that were not a good thing. HSI officers put their lives on the line to protect that scene so evidence so we could have Yes they do. Yes they do. But you told a lie about them. You said that they were domestic terrorists. Do you regret that? I offer my condolences to those family and again. There's ongoing investigations, and so I can't so you still don't know. You think that's an open question?

I would think you would want there to still be investigations going into these situations. And fairness and honesty. knowledge whatsoever that Alex Prady and Reddy Good were domestic terrorists, none This is your guy. He said that. He admitted that that was wrong. Why won't you admit it?

We'll tell you the investigation's still ongoing and we'll So do you regret speaking before the investigation? I would say that in those situations you regret that the product scene on the ground, we relay information to the American people. That they're asking for. And as the things changed, situations change. People were asking you whether they were domestic terrorists? And you decided that they were before the investigation? As we learn more, we can't. I did. I said I I condolences. For what?

I'm how about an apology for what you said about their loved ones? My heart is with them, and we will continue to stand with them as they get a complete investigation into these situations.

advisor Cory Lewandowski, and notably what you'll notice in this clip is that Gnome did not deny the affair, even with her husband sitting right behind her. Play the clip. Trump knows that this guy is shady. Corey has a decades-long record of physical batteries, 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 Gnome, 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 the case. 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. It is okay for you to be able to do that.

But it is also a real question. So what I would say is that the question is what we do at the Department of Homeland every single day. Every single day is to protect the decision. is sleeping with their subordinate. That should be the easiest. You should be wanting to answer that question. Because it is not about your senses that you have brought your judgment.

Time belongs to the gentlelady from California. Here's Representative Jared Moskowitz mocking Gnome over a story that she fired someone in the Coast Guard because he forgot to take her blanky on her plane. Play the clip. 200 miles of border walls being held up by you. They had to bring in Tom Holman, pull pull out of Minnesota. I think the country needs a di a national divorce from you on biblical grounds.

I mean, if Donald Trump was still apprentice, Trump, he would look at you and he would realize you're the weakness cabinet member and he would fire you. And if the president said to you that only way DHS could reopen is if you resigned, I hope you would take him up on it. Now I wanna end on a happy note, Mr. Chairman, real quickly. Uh you know, the president gave all sorts of stuff out during the State of the Union.

I don't want you to leave. I got you a new Coast Guard blanket, the one you lost. Okay, so this is for you. You don't leave empty handed when you come to Judiciary. Thank you, Mr. Gentleman's expi and now just to give you some quick insight on her replacement, Mark Wayne Mullen. He is, let's just say, not the brightest guy. Here's Mullen the other day talking about the Iran War. He called it a war, then tried to say that it wasn't a war. Play the clip.

Are there measures being taken not to eliminate other possible uh alternatives to leadership? This is war and we're taking out the threat. Um and if you're part of the threat then you have the then y you're a target. You know what we'd call call not all the arrows but going after the archers. You'll concede this is war. We haven't declared war. They declared war on us, but we haven't declared war with Secretary Hex that's not a very good thing.

This is war. They've called it war. What I was saying Okay, well that was a misspoke. What I was saying is they've declared war on us, but but war is ugly. Uh it always has been ugly. Uh but we're you know, we're at uh We're taking out a regime that's been trying to attack us for quite some time. But you're not conceding this as war. We have declared war.

The threat that's at that's um uh that's been at our door for forty seven years aren't you just avoiding the ask becoming that an ask from here's Mullen at one of these hearings demanding that everybody say thank you to President Trump for being a strong leader. So embarrassing. Play the clip. But you can't deny that this was a threat and an essential growing threat to the United States.

And you want to say he's playing politics, and you get the politics behind it, Mr. Peters? You guys are playing politics. You guys are the ones that are grandstanding. The president's doing his job as commander in chief. And I think at one time or an next we should say thank you. Thank you for being a strong leader. But there's no way in God's green earth you guys can ever give the president, at least President Trump, any credit. Sorry.

Thank you. Sir, I s I'm out of d I still got forty forty-nine seconds. Here's Mullen in a 2023 hearing challenging the Teamsters president Sean O'Brien to a fight in the middle of a hearing. Play this clip. Sir, this is a time, this is a place. We can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here. Okay, that's fine. Perfect. You want to do it now? I'd love to do it right now. Well stand your butt up then. You stand your butt up. Oh hold on. Oh stop it.

Sit down. You're a United States Senator. Sit down. Active. Sit down, please. All right. Can I respond? Hold it. Hold it. If we can no, I have the buttons. I'm sorry. This is what he said. Now let me just remind you of some of the other Christy Gnome l low lights here. Was Gnome falsely claiming that Alex Predy was a domestic terrorist? This was despicable.

Play the clip. Reasons and for reasons to resist and perpetuate violence. That is the definition of domestic terrorism. This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers. committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.

Where's the evidence of his ideology though? Drew Evans of And if you recall, Gnome's also recently under fire for wanting to purchase the seventy million dollar luxury jet with a queen size bedroom, a bar, and four flat screen TVs. There was the incident Jared Moskowitz had mentioned, in which the person she's been allegedly having an affair with, Cory Lewandowski, fired a US Coast Guard pilot after Noam's blanket was left behind on a plane.

Gnome would post things like this on her social media, images of paintings of herself on horses, asking what should be her official portrait. She'd always be dressing up in these different costumes like she was constantly doing cosplay. And of course, she was disastrous in the face of natural disasters, like when the floods hit Texas last year on July fifth.

FEMA had received three thousand calls from survivors, and only one percent of those calls went unanswered. But that night, Trump and Noam decided to fire the people who handled those calls. By July 7th, 85% of those calls went unanswered. Not only that, NOME did not authorize FEMA's deployment of urban search and rescue teams until more than 72 hours after the flooding began. So all in all, just a terrible, terrible, terrible run in her position.

So there you have it. Christy Nome is out. A stunning development. She will not be missed. And I'd like to be able to tell you that we'll be in better hands with Mark Wayne Mullen, but I cannot do that either. Thanks for watching.
