Summary

Now-former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem managed to keep her job despite a constant stream of scandals and outrages, but as soon as she suggested that Donald Trump, as president of the United States, and therefore her boss, knew about the corruption highlighted in Congressional hearings, that was too much for Trump to tolerate.

Okay, so as you all know, because I'm sure you've all been paying attention, we all saw the news alerts this morning.

0:05.3

I was walking across the street and got the news alerts. Donald Trump finally fired Kristineau.

0:10.3

Long, long overdue. And as I mentioned to Chris, I cannot think when I saw that news, the first person I wanted to talk to was Governor Tim Walls because there are a few people who've experienced

0:22.7

and lived through the absolute terror this woman has reeked across the country than the governor

0:28.6

of Minnesota. He's going to join me here in just a moment live. We also have an incredible

0:33.7

group of lawmakers. I have been really looking forward to talking with, who have nearly three decades of combined military experience between them, to talk about

0:42.2

gnomes firing in the context of Donald Trump's wildly unpopular war with Iran, and also

is so much to say. And more specifically, I just want to start tonight with Kristy Knoem because there is so much to say. And more specifically,

1:28.1

I just want to start tonight by talking about why Trump reportedly decided to get rid of her.

1:33.9

And I hate to say I told you so, but here's how we reported on the scandal at the heart of that

1:38.5

reason back in November. Today, ProPublica published quite a scoop about Trump DHS Secretary Christine Nome that in any era, any other era, I should say, would be a career-ending scandal.
