Kristi Noem’s Congressional Hearing: A Comedic Catastrophe

The episode kicks off with Jennifer and Angie delving into Governor Kristi Noem's recent appearance before Congress. The hosts paint Noem as a figure juggling multiple personas, mocking her diverse roles and questioning her credibility.

Notable Quotes:

• Angie Sullivan [00:34]: "Very rarely are congressional hearings as entertaining as they are when Kristi Noem shows up, because she is obviously cosplay queen. She's a dental hygienist, she's a horsewoman, she's a plumber, she's a nurse. She's all the things and a liar, but so she appeared before Congress."
• Angie Sullivan [01:23]: "More photo shoots, more cosplay, more costumes. How much do we love him? He is so great."

The hosts highlight the grilling Noem faced from Congressman Bennie Thompson, who they applaud for his relentless questioning.

Notable Quotes:

• Angie Sullivan [02:10]: "She knows exactly what it is because you went down to El Salvador with your big cosplay role and acted like a big, tough guy in front of people that were being held in cells in this basically concentration camp in El Salvador."

Defensive Stance and Public Persona

Jennifer and Angie critique Noem's defensive responses during the hearing, accusing her of deflection and lack of transparency regarding controversial photos and policies.

Notable Quotes:

• Angie Sullivan [02:50]: "She is a liar. It is so shocking to me. These people will get up and debase themselves and sit there and act like, well, you're not doing this for your constituents. You want terrorism. You know it's. You know you're wrong, but you're doubling down because you're MAGA and you have no shame."

The hosts emphasize Noem's alignment with MAGA principles, suggesting her actions are driven by unwavering loyalty rather than constituent welfare.

Critique of Homeland Security and MAGA Ideology

The discussion shifts to a broader critique of the Department of Homeland Security under Noem's leadership, accusing the agency of social profiling and undermining due process.

Notable Quotes:

• Angie Sullivan [04:51]: "You were the governor of South Dakota. You maybe have, like, 2 million people in the whole state. You run around killing dogs, cosplaying all of these different roles. You were on stage with Donald Trump for 40 minutes while he swayed and danced. You have no credibility to sit there and act like you're taking terrorists off the street."

Jennifer and Angie argue that Noem's policies lack evidence and are driven by personal loyalty to Trump rather than rational governance.

Vaccination Debate and Public Health Leadership

The hosts address a segment involving a health official's evasive responses about vaccinating children for measles, criticizing the individual's lack of expertise and accountability.

Notable Quotes:

• Angie Sullivan [08:06]: "You are the Director of Health and Human Services for the United States of America, and people are looking to you for advice because you lead the agency. So, no. Nobody should be getting medical advice from someone who is not a doctor."
• Jennifer Welch [08:45]: "He doesn't want to go against all the conspiracy theories about measles because he needs their support, because otherwise he's a complete fucking dumbass."

The duo underscores the dangers of having non-experts lead critical health discussions, emphasizing the importance of credible leadership in public health.

Trump’s Corruption and MAGA Backlash

Jennifer and Angie expand their critique to former President Donald Trump, highlighting alleged corrupt practices and the erosion of national security.

Notable Quotes:

• Politcal Analyst [09:25]: "Trump lines his pockets, he corrupts our foreign policy to enrich himself while driving up prices and stealing health care from average Americans. It's a national security disaster and it's a moral abomination."
• Jennifer Welch [10:55]: "If Jennifer were on this episode, she would say, we all know Trump has no morals, which we do. But now it's time to look at the triple Trumpers."

The hosts argue that Trump's actions prioritize personal gain over national interests, leading to widespread disillusionment even among his staunch supporters.

Conclusion: A Call for Accountability and Transparency

Wrapping up, Jennifer and Angie call for greater accountability and transparency in political leadership, urging listeners to remain informed and engaged.

Notable Quotes:

• Angie Sullivan [11:57]: "Stick with us for more news. We're trying to get to 1 million subscribers."

The episode concludes with a strong message advocating for integrity in government and a rejection of deceptive political tactics.

[Commentator]

Very rarely are congressional hearings as entertaining as they are when Kristi Noem shows up, because she is obviously cosplay queen. She's a dental hygienist, she's a horsewoman, she's a plumber, she's a nurse. She's all the things and a liar, but so she appeared before Congress. And chef's kiss to Bennie Thompson. He read her to filth.

[Congressional Questioner]

Whatever got you here? Secretary Noem, I'm glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify about why President Trump is seeking more taxpayer dollars and what you plan to do with that money. If you.

[Commentator]

Tell you what she plans to do. More photo shoots, more cosplay, more costumes. How much do we love him? He is so great. I mean, here's the thing. She is the Secretary of Homeland Security and she dresses up in these different roles. It's unbelievable. Her glam squad probably alone is what ate up the budget two months in advance. So she is a favorite target. So we have Eric Swalwell asking her about the faked picture that Donald Trump throws up, trying to say that the man taken off the streets in Maryland, sent to an El Salvadorian prison with no due process, is a gang member. So let's watch this this again. It's fantastic.

[Congressman]

Doctor, Is that right?

[Secretary Kristi Noem]

The same protocols that are.

[Congressman]

Secretary, I want you to have credibility.

[Political Analyst]

And I want you to be taken seriously.

[Congressman]

Is this doctored or is it not?

[Secretary Kristi Noem]

I am taken quite seriously.

[Congressman]

Is it doctored or not doctored?

[Secretary Kristi Noem]

The importance that the President has given me to do.

[Congressman]

I understand. Is it doctored or not doctored?

[Secretary Kristi Noem]

Important to remember is that every single time a case is built.

[Congressman]

Madam Secretary, I have a seven year old, a six year old and a three year old. I have a detector. I'm just asking you, is this doctored or not doctored?

[Secretary Kristi Noem]

Sir, the protocols in the case built against.

[Congressman]

Can you answer the question?

[Secretary Kristi Noem]

Were exactly the same. I don't have any knowledge as to that photo you're pointing to.

[Congressman]

Okay, can you show the photo? Walk with the photo down there? No, that one.

[Commentator]

Okay, here's the deal. Trump has been running around with this photo for at least a month. She knows exactly what it is, instead of saying, I don't know, she just goes with the deflect line. I'm not going to answer. I'm going to deflect. Well, here's the deal. You know, you know that it's doctored because you went down to El Salvador with your big cosplay role and acted like a big, tough guy in front of people that were being held in cells in this basically concentration camp in El Salvador. So don't sit there and act like you don't know. You do know. And then Eric Swalwell asks her a question about due process.

[Congressman]

Former prosecutor. I have put people away for life sentences who are gang members. I don't need to wear costumes to show how tough I am. What makes me different from you is when I put those individuals away, I did it with the weight of the law behind me, and I yield back.

[Commentator]

I just love. They're just getting all in her business about these costumes. She should be embarrassed. But you have to remember, she's maga. They feel no shame. They don't understand what it feels like to be embarrassed because they lie to themselves and are like, everybody thinks my shots of me as a dental hygienist and a nurse is so, so cool. Everybody thinking that I'm running around in a bulletproof vest with an AR15. They think I am tough. Like, they're so divorced from reality, it. Okay, so moving on. We have Dan Goldman with Christie.

[Secretary Kristi Noem]

Now, it's got to be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents. To see you fight for a terrorist like this and not fight for them is extremely alarming to me.

[Commentator]

I'm fighting for due process, and that's under the Constitution. Gentlemen, due process.

[Congressman]

The gentleman's time.

[Commentator]

Okay, here's the deal. Number one, Kristi Noem, you were the governor of South Dakota. You maybe have, like, 2 million people in the whole state. You run around killing dogs, cosplaying all of these different roles. You were on stage with Donald Trump for 40 minutes while he swayed and danced. You have no credibility to sit there and act like you're taking terrorists off the street. How would we know, Christine? How do we know if they're terrorists? Because you're not allowing due process. You're social profiling people, which, if I was going to do that, I would. Pete put Pete Hegseth in the white supremacy category because he has white supremacy tattoos. But here's what the Secretary of Homeland Security does not understand, and that is we have something called asylum. If you leave your country because you are in fear for your life or violence or some type of physical harm, you get to come to the United States and ask for better. Just because someone comes from a foreign country and their skin is black or brown does not make them a terrorist. There is no evidence that the people she's ripping off the streets with a big grin on her face and a big bulletproof vest that they are who she says she is. The only thing we can do is take her word for it, and we can't take her word for it because we know she is a liar. It is so shocking to me. These people will get up and debase themselves and sit there and act like, well, you're not doing this for your constituents. You want terrorism. You know it's. You know you're wrong, but you're doubling down because you're MAGA and you have no shame. And the only thing that you have conviction about is being a white supremacist and putting your lips on Donald Trump's ass. She is an embarrassment to the Department of Homeland Security and every single American, but I dare say she is not the most foul or incompetent member of Donald Trump's cabinet. We have lots of contenders on any given day. It could be any given one of these. But I finally found something that RFK and I agree on, so I'd like to play that for you.

[Interviewer]

Might be helpful. As you've previously said you vaccinated your children just because. I think this is a helpful answer and this isn't a gotcha. I promise. If you had a child today, would you vaccinate that child for measles?

[Health Official]

For measles, probably for measles. What I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant. I directed J. Bhattachara.

[Interviewer]

Sure. No, like I said, I don't want.

[Health Official]

To so that everybody can make that decision, but I don't want to. Measles seem like I'm being evasive, but I don't think people should be taking advice. Medical advice from me.

[Commentator]

Agree. Agree. I completely agree. No one should be taking medical advice from you. Unfortunately for the American public, you are the Director of Health and Human Services for the United States of America, and people are looking to you for advice because you lead the agency. So, no. Nobody should be getting medical advice from someone who is not a doctor. You are a lawyer. You are not a doctor. I find him so offensive when he won't answer the question about measles because he's so in bed with this Maha crowd that he wants them, that he's happy for them not to vaccinate their kids. He doesn't want to go against all the conspiracy theories about measles because he needs their support, because otherwise he's a complete fucking dumbass. But while all that's going on, where we have absolute morons, where we're fighting over who is the dumbest person in Trump's cabinet, who is the least qualified to be in his cabinet, we have an actual adult in the room. We have Chris Murphy, who is a senator from Connecticut that is actually speaking the truth to people.

[Political Analyst]

The level of corruption is so gross that even Trump's most hardened MAGA sycophants are turning against him. I didn't think I'd see the day, but people like Ben Shapiro and Laura Loomer who fawn over Trump, can't believe he is so crass as to think that it's okay to accept planes as a gift in exchange for for US national security concessions. This isn't America First. This is not what he promised the American people. This is Trump first. He is willing to put our nation's security at risk, take unconstitutional bribes just so he can fly himself and his Mar a Lago golf buddies around the world in gold plated luxury planes gifted to him by foreign governments, all while at the same time he tells Americans that they should be okay buying fewer school supplies for their kids or fewer birthday presents for their grandchildren because he's driving prices up for non billionaires in this country, all while at the same time he's kicking 13 million people off of their health care. Trump lines his pockets, he corrupts our foreign policy to enrich himself while driving up prices and stealing health care from average Americans. It's a national security disaster and it's a moral abomination.

[Commentator]

Here's the thing. If Jennifer were on this episode, she would say, we all know Trump has no morals, which we do. But now it's time to look at the triple Trumpers. What are their moral convictions? I think it doesn't speak well for them because these people are willing to put their lips on the ass of a man that will sit there and take a gift and talk about how hot MBS is, never mentioning that he murdered somebody in the embassy, chopped him up, and then poured acid on him and poured him down the drain because he wants to tell him what good friends they are and how hot he is. That's who the President is. He takes money from people that fund terrorists so that his plane has more gaudy gold on it. That's where we are in the United States. Stick with us for more news.
