I think we got to keep the Christy Gnome hate going.

0:02.2

We do. She's just a uniquely awful figure in this administration. And I feel like a lot of these characters that we've seen come out occupy very interesting lanes. You know what I'm saying? You've got the people like Stephen Miller that are just full on. The president's got to be a dictator. You've got people like RFK doing just immense harm running through public health through this country. Irreparable damage. Irreparable damage. And you've got people like Christy Knoem who can't really do much to direct anything because Stephen Miller's directing everything that ICE is doing. Stephen Miller's really calling the shots. But she does, she is the figurehead of an administration. Yeah. And she's trying to pretend like she's doing a lot. Christine Nome and Pete Hegseth are of the same caliber in my mind. Yes. Because these are both areas that Trump and Stephen Miller like intimately control where the heads of the agencies are kind of just there and they have nothing real to do. So they cosplay and pretend and do stupid asass fucking speeches and do stupid-ass videos.

0:54.4

They do photo shoots.

0:55.1

Because they can't do anything else, right? RFK Jr. is in full control of dismantling this country's public health system. RFK Jr. is taking vaccines away. Christy Nome and Pete Higgseth don't have control over their own agenda. Pete Hegsett gets to go up there and say, I think you should shave. Yeah. We're gonna impose skin condition condition on black soldiers. And we got to keep the Christy Gnomehate going. And this time it takes the form of an ad that was playing in airports across the country. It was literally in the TSA lines when you go into the airport. The lines that you're held captive in? You are held captive in these lines. You got to take your shoes off. And oftentimes there's TV screens, right? Companies will pay for ads that you can watch while you're waiting in

1:31.2

line because you have no choice. You're forced to wait there. You have to go to security. And sometimes

1:36.1

like TSA or security like ads will play and sometimes they're like genuinely informative. This one though

1:41.8

is Christy Noam talking about the government shutdown. Again, playing

1:45.0

at airports in TSA lines. It's about 30 seconds long, and I think we should listen to what

1:50.6

cosplay Christy has to say to us here. Christy Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.

1:56.0

It is TSA's top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience

2:01.1

as possible while we keep you safe. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal

2:06.7

government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA employees

2:12.5

are working without pay. We will continue to do all that we can to avoid delays that will impact your travel.

2:19.1

And our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government.

2:23.9

You can't do that. You just like can't do that. Because I'm pretty sure that's like what

2:28.6

using federal funds or like public dollars to just do campaigning to be partisan. It's explicitly a hatch act violation. Yeah. That's what it is. Government, people in the executive branch, other than the president, obviously, because they're elected politically, people in the executive branch cannot do political ads. Like this just, it's not a thing, but like law doesn't exist anymore. So Republicans are going to do literally whatever they want, right? Because the law isn't real. Why is their background noise on that? Yeah. Why is that? Why am I hearing room noise? Like, why, why do I have the ability to make a better video than DHS can make? Yeah. They've got the resources of the federal government at their disposal. These are the guys that got elected by the podcaster class and they couldn't consult one of us. I just, I don't understand like what they think they're doing with this. I feel like people are smart enough to know that like Republican run government, Republican cause shutdown. And it's also just like, it feels like obvious that they're lying. Yeah. Just from like a regular standpoint, like you don't go this hard to be like, oh, Democrat shutdown Democrat shutdown. If you're not like a problem. Like, you don't go violate the Hatch Act

3:27.6

multiple times because they were also sending out. They had also changed federal employees out

3:32.4

of office emails to mention like the Democrat led shutdown or the Democrat shutdown and things

3:36.9

like that. Like, you just can't do that. I do respect, um, the willingness to commit to the bit and put like Democrat shut down on everything. True. I do think Democrat should like take some notes from the messaging here and just blame Republicans, but you don't got to violate the hatch act to do it. But it's also like you're going to make people who are sitting through the TSA line at five in the morning watch this. I feel like that's just going to negatively polarize them away from your cause. Exactly. I think so too. But like I saw some airports were refusing to run the ad. I didn't know that was a thing airports could do, but fucking shout out, I guess. But yeah, that's that's Christy Nome putting her face in airports, even though people pretty unanimously hate her. Man, if I're going to take my shoes off in the tsa line and then i get stopped and then they look in my bag or for whatever reason they just do anything if i'm inconvenienced at all in tsa line at five in the morning and then you just hear the democrat shut down uh-huh and i hear christy nobs grading voice come on there i see christy nome i'm. I'm doing negative associations. Like I'm thinking like,

4:32.3

oh, she must suck. I'm having a bad time right now. I'm voting for Democrats in the midterm.

4:36.8

Precisely. I will be voting for Abdul Elsa yet in the midter.

4:52.9

Welcome back to the show, everybody. It is Monday, October 13th, and it's more hito.
