  Speaker 2: Then grab your popcorn because there is more. So why
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: is it that Christy Nome got fired as a Secretary
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of Homeland Security. I don't find myself worrying about it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I've replaced Pam BONDI replaced Christy Noum. I've said you
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: can get rid of the Department of Homeland Security. Fold
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: it back under defense. I'm cool, put it back into
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: its component parts. We don't need a Department of Homeland Security.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was a reactionary thing to create to begin with.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe we just need to do a better job at
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: our defense. This coming, of course post September eleventh. I'd
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: be fine with this. As long as we're defending the nation.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I don't need more agencies to prove that we're safer.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: But being fired? What caused it? Was it what happened
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: in Minneapolis? Was it a poor running of the departments?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Was it the relationship with Corey Lewandowski or was it this?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Was it?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Indeed, the back and forth she had with Senator John Kennedy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Senator John Kennedy started asking her about money spent on
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: an ad campaign. Two hundred and twenty million dollars. It's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of money. It's an outrageous amount of money.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: The story here is that the White House was fully
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: aware that Senator Kennedy was going to ask these questions
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: because he was very angry about it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What are we spending this money on? Why are we
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: spending this much money?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And they all sent her around her and she's the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: star of these commercials, and is this about her ego?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Or is this about what is this?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: The White House, as reported, did not put up any
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: fight to Senator Kennedy to ask these questions.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: They basically went all.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Right, which means they wanted her to go through this,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: which means Trump wanted to see it now, even if
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he didn't want to see it, and he didn't say
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: it like that, Clearly everybody knew that he was going.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: To watch.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And it was the answers that made him say, Okay,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you gotta go. This was the exchange with Senator Kennedy, who,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: by the way, is a national treasure. Is Senator John Kennedy,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Republican from Louisiana.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I believe you have a Piley, madam, scheck could carry
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that you have to approve all contracts at your department
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: over one hundred million dollars.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: No, sir, I have a policy in place that I
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: review contracts. My deputy chiefs have the ability to review
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: anything under five million.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Above that I evaluate and look at.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, and you do that, understand, to try to curb
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Is that right?
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. In fact, it's been extremely effective. We've saved
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: the taxpayers over thirteen point two billion dollars just by
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: evaluating contracts, negotiating lower ones, and canceling ones that aren't
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: necessary to do our duties.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: How do you square that concern for waist, which I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: share with the fact that you have spent two hundred
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: and twenty million dollars running television advertisements that feature you prominently, sir.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: The President tasked me with getting the message out to
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: the country and to other countries where we were seeing
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: the invasion come from, with putting commercials out that told
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: them that if they were in this country illegally, that
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: they needed to leave or we would detain them and
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: remove them, and they did not get the chance to
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: come back to America the right way.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: That has been extremely effective.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I ask you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: To run these advertisements, is that right?
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: We had that conversation, Yes, before I was put in
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: this position and sworn in and confirmed and since then
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: She said that Trump knew According to the reporting, Trump
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: didn't approve this stuff. Trump had no idea what ads
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: are being created or being spent, and that was enough
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: for him. What did she figure that he would say nothing?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You don't invoke the big guy's name unless you got
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the big guys support.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, did you bid at those service contracts?
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, they did.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: They went out to a competitive bid and career officials
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: at the department chose who would do those advertising commercials.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And the people that you ended up picking were people
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: who had formerly done your political work back in Shop
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: d Kote. Is that right?
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: No, that's not correct, sir, No, it's not, sir.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: The individuals who I believe the careers who they chose
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: were two different media firms. There's been conversation about their subcontractors,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: but we have no legal authority to look into subcontractors
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: on work like that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So your friends got the money.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Now if your friends can ain't get the money, I mean,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: what's the point of even having friends.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: No, is that not how it is?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: That not how it works, because because that should be,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that should be how it works. This went on for
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: five minutes. This was everything that John Kennedy was talking about.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And so that's just that's just a sampling. I mean,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: he goes back to it even just a little bit.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: More with this.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, And you're saying that you're testifying that President Trump
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: approved this ahead of time. So I'm understanding we.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Had conversations about making sure that we were telling people.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: No, Ma, I'm asking you a short interrupt, but the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: president approved ahead of time. You spending two hundred and
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: twenty million dollars running TV EDGs across the country in
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: which you are featured prominently.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Yes, so we went through the legal processes. Did it correct? Yes?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: At that moment.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I gotta admit, at the time I didn't think as
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: much of it. But John Kennedy knew what he was doing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He had information we didn't have. And you gotta wonder
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: at that moment, if Christy I'm saying to herself, how
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: many boxes.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Am I going to need to clear out my office?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Do I do?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I hire a movement company, just get a pod and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: then I have Corey load everything up.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: What happened? Huh? This is not what I wanted? Was
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: she saying to herself?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Trump is going to call me into his office tomorrow.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to the Oval too tomorrow. That's what's happening. Okay,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: this is well, this was fun. I mean, he he
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: walked her right in, got her to say yes, Trump knew,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: allowing Trump to say I didn't know?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And that's ballgame? Is that the moment?
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe center Mark Waye Mullen of Oklahoma has been
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: nominated to replace her as Secretary of Homeland Security. One
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: will assume even in a partisan Senate, he will get through.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Other Republican senators would have no reason not to.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Vote for him, and you would still have a tie
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: break with JD.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Vance.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So I assume there was a little bit of vetting
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: before they made the decision. By the way, as I
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: know it, Oklahoma, the governor there Kevin Stitt, Republican. He
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: will be able to appoint someone to fill the shoes
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: of Senator Mullen for the remainder of the term, and then,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of course elections will continue, so Republicans do not fear
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: losing the seat.
