Oh baby, oh baby, you ready for some good news? It's good news Thursday, baby. Christy Gnome is currently being considered for criminal charges. Ooh, can we just say it one more time? Doesn't that just make... I feel like flowers are blooming, angels are getting their wings as we say that statement. Christy Gnome is currently being considered for criminal charges.

Hallelujah. And by the way, I took off my... my goddamn beanie. Everyone got so loud in the comments in my previous video. Everyone's suddenly a fashion expert expert. So no, I'm not wearing the be beanie. Okay. But we are going to be reading Kristyneum. Reading is what? The what? Fundamental. All right. Let's get into this. Knives are out for Ice Barbie, aka Christyome and her lover, quote, they're fucked. All right. The knives are out for fired Chrissy Noem and a rumored lover with the Department of Homeland Security Insider warning that they faced investigations and possibly worse over their

controversial tenure at the agency. Oh, God, I love it. It's beautiful. Homeland Security Secretary, Noam 54. She's 54. Oh my God. She's only 13 years older than me. Was ousted last Thursday.

The first cabinet member fired in Donald Trump's second term after a two-day Capitol Hill grilling turned into a catalog of a disaster. I will say about the... this expert grilling that was done towards Kristy Knoem. Because I was always, I've kind of been like, what the hell of their point of these hearings? Nothing changes. Everyone's just trying to get a viral clip. And it seemed rather pointless because everyone's just lying and no one ever, like nothing ever comes from it.

Man, this one time, it was kind of good. The only reason why Christy Knoam is being fired isn't because any of the really bad things I'm going to walk you through. It's because she was asked a question that Donald Trump didn't like her answer to. Typical. All right. So the source within the DHS was pretty blunt about the pairs prospects on, quote, the contracts, especially telling the Daily Beast on Monday, quote, expect scrutiny on the warehouse contracts, the ads, the plane purchasing, the cars, everything.

The insider headed. If the rumors circling Washington are true, Democrats will want hearings and even prosecutions and there's going to be no Republican with a brain who comes to their defense. Quote, they're fucked. Ah. No one was said to have angered Trump by claiming that he gave the go-ahead for the self-deportation ad blitz, but which Donald Trump later claimed he never knew anything about, which means he definitely approved it.

That's what he always says when he doesn't like being tied to something that suddenly becomes unpopular. I don't know. I don't know. Those advertising contracts are now in Democratic. credit crosshairs, the campaign was awarded to GOP-linked companies, people who think in safe American media without competitive bidding. That's pretty corrupt. The same two firms that landed a separate $100 million ice recruitment campaign through the

same process. You ever notice how the people who say, just trust the process are never the ones getting screwed by it? It's like being told to leave your wallet on the table and rely on the honor system by the same people who wrote the rules. And yet, when people get sick. seriously hurt, they're often expected to trust systems that are financially incentivized to pay them as little as possible. Well, that's why Morgan and Morgan exists. The firm was founded after John

Morgan's brother suffered a catastrophic injury and saw firsthand how stacked the system can be against regular people. Their mission was simple. Fight for the people when they're up against powerful interests. More than 35 years later, Morgan & Morgan is now America's largest injury law firm, with over 1,000 lawyers and 100 offices nationwide. They've recovered over $30 billion for their clients, which doesn't happen without knowing how to fight and when to push. Think of it this way. There's a reason you don't let the referee place the bets,

or at least you're not supposed to. You know where I'm going with this, right? Just like there's a reason you shouldn't let the other side decide what your case is worth. If you're injured because of someone else's negligence, you deserve to understand your options, Not all law firms are the same, hire the wrong one, and you can be beat before you even start. If you're injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan.

Their fee is free unless they win, and I mean, free is good, especially when you're in a tight spot. So if you want to check it out, you can.

Now, pro-Republica found a subcontractor, the strategy group, whose chief executive, Ben Yoho, is married to former DHS spokeswoman Trisha McLaughlin, both of whom are Nome and Lewandowski allies also received a share of the funds, prompting one eminent federal contracting expert to declare the arrangement corrupt. That is just, but you know what?

Nice thing about that. It's like old-school corruption. It's like, that's the thing that used to make headlines. It's kind of just like a low hum of corruption that happens in the second term of Trump's administration. But that is a pretty big deal that they're basically just skimming money off the top that's supposed to be spent. It's like our tax dollars being spent given to these people who don't deserve it. They're stealing from us. That's probably the best way to put it.

These low lives are stealing our tax money. That's what's happening. A further DHS PR contract was posted with a bid window of just 31 hours and explicitly required. applicants to have an established track record of promoting Trump administration policies. Whoa. Language, the project on government oversight general counsel, Scott Amy told the Guardian was the first he'd ever seen in federal procurement. And then it goes on to say here, this is kind of the, this is the stuff that she could be criminally in charge for. And then I have a Democratic governor saying that he's looking into criminal charges. The Welshian Journal

reported in February that Noam and Lee Wendowski had been routinely traveling together aboard a lease Boeing 737 Max with a private rear cabin, which DHS was in the process of acquiring with $70 million in taxpayer money. NBC News published interior photographs showing a queenbed, showers, kitchen, four large flat screen TVs and a bar. Let us just look at that. Oh my God. Okay, yeah. Do you want our government, I mean, don't get me wrong. Like, I think if you were the government, like, you shouldn't travel, like, terribly, but this is really excessive. This is really excessive. I don't think anyone who works for the government should be flying and sleeping in their own bed.

This is ridiculous. Yeah. I mean, it is really just emblematic of the corruption in the Trump's administration. Everyone wants to be a king and rich off our money. Okay. the sharpest legal risk, however, may stem from NOMs, what Nome said under oath, about Lee Wendowski's contract authority when Connecticut Senator Blumenthal asked whether he had, quote, a role in approving contracts.

Noam replied no, but internal DHS records reviewed by ProPublica showed Lee Wendowski signing off as, quote, chief advisor personally approved a multi-million dollar equipment contract last summer. All right. So, I mean, they're all grifting. They're all grifting. they're committing perjury, they're stealing our money. I'm team, let them. Let them do it. Let them do it. You know why? Because comeuppance. There's going to be a moment of come up this.

Comeuppance. And we will. We will, there will be the time, right now they're fucking out, if they're fucking around. There will be the time of finding out. That time is coming sooner than they expect. Time has a way of moving. It might not be as fast as we'd like, but justice is coming. I know. that for sure. How do I know that? Well, that's because Governor Pritzker said this to Aaron Parnas yesterday. You mentioned earlier about ICE, DHS, CBP. Christy Noem has obviously been forced out of her job after she was forced out. You put out a short video essentially alluding to the fact that this may not be the end of accountability for Christy Noem. What did you mean by that?

Well, let me start by saying, hallelujah. You know, I hope she left the keys and was out by five. We, you know, she was a terrible pick to begin with. I hope Republicans and any Democrats that voted for her confirmation recognize that you can't do that again. We can't have somebody leading Homeland Security who has no idea what they're doing. And I'm very concerned about the new pick about Mark Wayne Mullen, but that's for another conversation, perhaps.

What I mean is that, look, there's so many things this administration is doing, and they're not holding themselves accountable, and the president, by virtue of a determination by the Supreme Court, is immune. And so when there's no supervision over ICE and CBP, when there's nobody who's going to suspend somebody and do a proper investigation, then how can you trust anything that there's. doing. And so what we've done in Illinois is we created an Illinois Accountability Commission, and in a moment, we'll talk about how this applies to known, but we're basically gathering

testimony and video of what the crimes potentially, but certainly improper behavior on the part of federal officials was so that when the time comes, when we actually have a Congress who will investigate, when we have a president who will allow people to be held accountable, they will be held accountable. We'll either take them to court on criminal charges or on civil charges. But it's very important that we do that. And Christy Noem being top of the stack here, you know, we could talk about Tom Homan, we can talk about Gregory Bovino, and we can talk about the ICE and CBP officers on the ground level. But all of them, all of them need to be, you know, interrogated about why they didn't follow the law, why they didn't follow the

protocols and the ways in which they didn't do that so that, you know, we can make sure it never happens again. All right. So that's pretty smart. So what they're going to be doing is compiling all the illegal shit they did, putting in a file and getting ready to hand it over for when Democrats are in charge. I don't know what's preventing him from having the Attorney General of Illinois just start doing that now at the state level. I think state level is so much more powerful because Donald Trump can't pardon them. Maybe there's something I don't understand about why if they can gather all the stuff, why they can also just file charges themselves. But that is smart. It is creative and it is innovative. I appreciate that. I hope they don't just

go after Christy Knoem. I hope to go after Greg Vivino. And truly, it's got to be top down. One of the failures of January 6th is that we only went after the people on the ground. The people who were basically lied to showed up that day and committed crimes by entering the Capitol. But we never went after the people who actually did the organizing, really. And so I think it has to be a top-down approach. This next go-around. Go after the big people. Certainly go after the ones who broke the law.

who were foot soldiers, yes. Well, we have to go off the big people first, in my opinion. That's how I feel. Well, I'm glad that's happening. Hooray, it's a good day. What does it say here? DHS in chaos as Ice Barbie's henchmen forced out during PowerShell. It's just all collapsing.

God damn it. Good. I hope that gives you some hope. It made me energetic. As you can tell, I'm in a good mood. If bad things are happening at Christy Nome, then Keith Edwards is in a good mood. That's how it works.

See you next time. Oh, like and subscribe. Bye.
