Hello and welcome to the show. I am Hailey Carania. You know, Happy Friday, first of all. But you know how I say at the start of this show, the only place you can watch this show is Rumble? Well, that's not really the truth anymore. If you are a Spotify listener, you can now be a Spotify viewer.

So if you are a Spotify listener, you can now be a Spotify viewer. I actually got a text from one of my friends this morning saying, I'm so happy that your your episodes are now on Spotify because I love watching so very exciting news there. But of course you can only watch on Rumble Live. So if you want to watch live rumble.com Haley brings you to the Bongino Report channel. You must subscribe if you haven't already.

Now, just make sure that you send this link to someone, someone you love, someone that you think would enjoy this content. So what do we have on deck today? Well, I was going to do a full show dedicated to scrolling time. It was going to be the largest scrolling time episode we've ever done, which it still will be, but then Kristi Noem got fired. So we're gonna do a quick little story time on Kristi Noem and then we'll have some fun. So put your phones on. Do not disturb scrolling with Haley starts right now. All right, Kristi Noem, former Secretary of Homeland Security, getting a demotion, in my opinion. Well, now her title is Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Never heard of it because it's brand new. They made it just for her. A new security initiative that President Trump said is going to focus on the western hemisphere. And you know, President Trump is known for firing. It's pretty iconic, right? You're fired. And I feel like nobody really gets fired in the Trump administration, at least this time around. Do you remember the whole signal chat debate with the Atlantic? The Atlantic reporter was accidentally put into this, you know, this signal group chat and they were talking about all this high level, top secret war plans and things like that. Not a good look, right? And then national security adviser at the time, Mike Waltz, he was just moved over to the UN like no one really gets fired. But these people, you know, they're not exactly. They're not exactly sent packing. They're just given a different title. So Christine OEM's new title seems like it was just pulled out of thin air, like they made Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. What does that mean? Anyway? This is what former Secretary Kristi Noem said on X. This is her little statement. She thanked President Trump, of course, for appointing her as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Then she thanked Secretary Rubio and Secretary Hegseth, saying that they are incredible leaders. She looks forward to working with them closely. She's going to focus on dismantling cartels and the drugs that are being poured into our nation, obviously killing people. This is a huge epidemic, and the Western Hemisphere is critical when it comes to our security, she says. And she's got to build on the partnerships that she's made and all of this national security expertise that she's acquired over the last 13 months as Homeland Security secretary. So I'm happy for her. And she kind of went into some of the accomplishments that she made, and it's undeniable, the work that she did as secretary, she says, we have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again, delivered the most secure border in American history. Three million illegals have left the U.S. we have located 145,000 children. FEMA delivered a disaster relief at 100% faster race rate. We ushered in the golden age of travel style, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion, and revitalized the US Coast Guard. So President Trump, he made all of these declarations during his State of the Union address. He detailed all of these successes. You know, zero border crossings, massive deportation efforts underway under Kristine Ohms. So with ICE having what they're saying, a bad reputation right now, I don't really believe that. I think that's just what liberals think, and who cares what they think? And I wouldn't blame Kristi Noem for that. You know, Alex Preddy and Renee Goode's deaths didn't look good, but it wasn't her fault. It was theirs. And her agents acted under pressure and out of fear because they're human. And the situation in Minneapolis being blamed on ICE is ridiculous, considering ICE has been around for decades. The problem was with rioters and people obstructing law enforcement, the people creating all of the chaos that we saw. It was not an ICE issue. It was an issue with how the left reacted to ice. So Minneapolis, I give her a pass on, like, what was she really supposed to do? However, there are other issues at play here and a lot of this seems to have stemmed from Christine's testimony on the House Oversight Committee, among other things. First, Democrats were criticizing her for her alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski. They've been together or rumored to be together for years now. This is came as no surprise to me. I feel like people kind of knew that this was going on. So if this was really a problem for Democrats, I think this would have come to light earlier than this. Again, I don't condone cheating or affairs. I think it's absolutely disgusting. But if you can get your job done and work together and as long as everything is legal, it's really none of my business. Like I don't have to personally condone it. But on a more serious note, Kristi Noem was under fire for using more than $200 million taxpayer dollars on DHS recruitment videos. Which I'll be honest, $200 million seems pretty excessive. What do you think in the chat? You can let me know if you think $200 million is enough to recruit ICE agents. I think it's quite enough. I think it's plenty actually. And DHS argues that all of this was necessary because the ad campaign prompted more than 2.2 million illegal immigrants to self deport and they claim it saved taxpayers more than 39 billion dollars. So you spend 200 million to save 39 billion. The math is not mathing to me. I don't know. This is just what they're saying. Do you guys believe it? I mean people are saying that yes, it's, it's excessive. Seems pretty high. Other people in the chat said it's money well spent. And someone just said, did she run one during the Super Bowl? Yeah, I mean this is, this is expensive. This is a lot of money. And they could have made a recruitment video for less than 200,000. This isn't Hollywood. So I understand that morale has got to be low. They needed to incentivize new ICE agents with signing bonuses with. I think they deserve. It's a thankless job. And then you have to deal with libtards in Minnesota. And it's dangerous arresting some of these illegals. I mean it's dangerous dealing with some of the libtards in Minnesota. So I think it is worth every penny to recruit these people. But $200 million on videos is absolutely insane. And it makes you question if, if that money really just went to videos. You know, Republicans loved doge, the Department of Government Efficiency. This is music to a fiscal conservative's ears. Right. I feel like every. I haven't met a Republican that didn't love Doge. They love fiscal responsibility. So this didn't go over well with Republicans during that testimony, and rightfully so. And Senator John Kennedy asked Kristi Noem about the details of this contract and whether or not Trump signed off on it when. And she said yes under oath. Watch this.
