We're getting fresh reporting that Christy Noem is on the out. Melania Trump has thrown her own husband under the bus. And would you, what do you know it? John Federman is saying the right thing. He's saying the right thing. I don't understand it, but he is. And the reason why this is happening is because, of course, ICE is out of control. ICE is murdering citizens in the streets.

And we have even more evidence that ICE is just, it's an, it is an institution that needs to be completely dismantled. Here's one ICE officer literally pushing an observer on the street. So that is one small reason why this is just unsustainable. They've hired people who clearly have no business being a law enforcement. They're probably people who want to actually hurt others. They don't want to make things better. They want to make it worse. And that's why Magistar Scott Jennings, even he cannot defend this shit.

Do you think Scott Jennings that Stephen Miller should apologize? Look, that's a question for the president and for Caroline Levin. I think she had it just right. The president and nobody else in the White House wants to see people getting injured. Also, the president and nobody else in the White House wants to see Democrats in Minnesota radicalizing people and instructing them to go obstruct federal law enforcement. That's the thing here. There's a difference between protesting and trying to impede and obstruct law enforcement.

You do not want people, any people going out and getting in the middle. of active law enforcement situations. That is a recipe for chaos, and it is a recipe for heartbreak and tragedy, and we have now seen it twice in Minnesota. They need to stay on message here with what the president is trying to do. He's simply trying to enforce federal immigration law, just like every other president before him has done.

In fact, a president, Paul Begala knows well. Bill Clinton said, we won't tolerate immigration by people whose first act is to break the law as they enter our country. The presidents that have come before Donald Trump have all done this, In fact, Barack Obama gave Tom Holman a medal, a medal for deporting people. So right now, in terms of messaging, I'd say stick to the facts, dump the hyperbole, and stick to what every other president that's come before you has done. Bro, I know that doesn't sound like a huge rebuke, but that's Maga speak for you're fucking up.

You're fucking up. Everyone knows you're fucking up. The messaging is terrible. I need to fix this shit quickly. He's giving messaging advice to Caroline Levin. it and Donald Trump saying, hey, what you're doing is not working. Focus on this. And we know it's not working because Senator John Federman, of all people, basically a Republican, basically a Republican, called for Christy Noem to be fired. Donald Trump, I make a direct appeal to immediately fire

Christy Noem. Americans have died. She is betraying DHS's core mission and trashing your border security legacy. Do not make the mistake President Biden made. for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS secretary. I mean, that is, I mean, that literally could be a tweet from a Republican, but it is, it is very, very, very telling how much the tide has turned on this stuff, that people feel that they have to make appeals to Trump to fix it. Because, I mean, let's just be clear. Like, if Kristy Noem goes away, it's not going to change the fact that DHS needs to be completely reformed

and that ICE needs to be completely abolished. It'll be a band-aid on a flesh wound, but it will show that perhaps we're not fully in authoritarianism, that we have a president of the United States who actually succumbs to political pressure. Could you believe it? We have a president of the United States who actually might have to, I don't know, listen to the people he's meant to represent. So in that sense, it'll be very telling if he does it, but I'm still not sure that Donald Trump will actually get rid of her. Regardless, here's what Morning Joe had to say about it. You know, people use Orwellian.

You know, there's a hard hit disinterfilled. Oh, that's Orwellian. It was a Texas. You know, they overused the word. Here, Orwellian fit, because time and time again, you would see video of Americans being beaten or, in two cases, gunned down in the streets. And DHS, there's spokespeople, and especially Christine Nome, going back to Renee Good, lying through her teeth with her cowboy hat on, talking about snow banks,

just making shit up about dead Americans gun down in the street. Dead Americans gun down in the street. The first remember, Renee Good saying, I'm not mad. The last word spoken on earth to the man that shot her twice at point blank. range, putting a bullet through her head. I'm not mad. And then she turns and tries to leave. They lie about her.

And immediately, Christine Nome, without knowing any of the facts, lies through her teeth. It happened again here with Alex Freddie. The same exact thing happened. DHS lying through their teeth. And I'm curious, I know so much played in to just a torrent of Republicans. finally having the courage to stand up and speak out and all of this happening. But it seems to me a lot of people kept going back to all the lies that Christy Noem has been telling over and over and over again. As almost along with these American citizens being gunned down in the street,

it's the lies that seem to really have gotten a lot of these Republicans saying, no, no, what she's saying here is a lie. What she said about Renee Good, all lies. What she said about Alex Freddie, all lies. They lied, lied, lied through their teeth. And I'm just wondering if at the end of the day, that's not one of the things that really made Republicans say, we just can't do this anymore. No, I mean, oh my God. It's like it's like he's stuck.

his brain is stuck in 2014. You think lying? You think lying is going to be what makes Republicans change their minds? Lying? Donald Trump is president. Donald Trump's been president twice now. They've learned that lying is a superpower. So no, I don't think lying is going to be what does Christian Nome.

And I think it's going to actually be the fact that, I don't know, everyday Americans have been standing up to this thug administration and saying, quit it. I think that's actually what it is. There's been a movement of people who've been able to, through showing up on the street and being relentless in making sure Americans see what's actually happening on our phones, that real change has taken place. It's not because Christy Noam is lying. That's absurd. It's absurd. This is also absurd. I love a Melania Trump clip. And here she is basically throwing her husband under the bus. We need to unify. I'm calling for unity. I know. My husband, the president, had a great call yesterday with the governor and the mayor, and they're working together to make it peaceful and without riots.

I'm against the violence, so please, if we protest, protest in peace. And we need to unify in these times. Thanks. Beautifully said, God. the greatest orator of our time, Melania Trump. I'm calling for unity. I know my husband, the president, at a great goal. Jesus Christ.

Oh, by the way, her movie's coming out. And this is what people are doing in her signs. My husband. Is that a beard? Yep, that's a beard. And of course. Of course. Love that. Love that. All right, here's a pallet cleanser. New York's new mayor, Mayor, Mayor Mamdani showed up to the night.

To the tonight show yesterday, Jimmy Fallon. Oh, hey, Jimmy, let me try one. It's so cold in New York City. The rent froze itself. Good night, everybody. Awesome. I'll see you soon. Bye.
