The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General has launched an investigation into Corey Lewandowski's bribe scheme. Trump's new budget proposal includes privatizing the tsa. The Iranian strike on the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia caused more damage than previously reported. The Department of Homeland Security pauses plans to buy warehouses to convert to concentration camps.

A
Well, hello, Dana. Happy Monday.
- [02:00]
B
Happy Monday. And I just want to say, by the time you hear this, the national championship will be over for the women. I don't know who won between UCLA and South Carolina, but. Go, Don Staley. Geno is a man, baby. Like that whole thing. If you watch basketball and you watch the game. The unsportsmanship of the end of that game because he was getting his ass whooped and hadn't lost all season in just a horrible. A horrible show of sportsmanship. So Dawn Staley handled it like a fucking pro. And she's a class act. And I'm so proud to be a fan. That's all I have to say.
- [02:34]
A
Always love Don Staley. Yeah, Basically, Gino refused to shake her hand at the end of the. Of the game.
- [02:39]
B
Yeah. Because she didn't shake his at the beginning, which isn't true. He just didn't shake her. Yeah, I know. She didn't shake his hand when he thought she should have done it again. And by the way that would have never happened if they were winning. It would have never happened. He would have never brought it up if UConn had won that game. He was pissed off his team was getting beat. And just. I'm. I feel so bad for the players on both teams because it took so much attention in the national news away from South Carolina, breaking UConn's undefeated record. And listen, UConn's fantastic. They've been a powerhouse, a dynasty for a very long time. But I have feelings about Gino that I've always had, and I'm just really proud of Don. That's all I have to say. Not a sports podcast, just getting it off my chest.
- [03:22]
A
Yes, but speaking of unsportsmanlike conduct, did you see Trump's Easter Sunday war crimes threat posed?
- [03:28]
B
There's no fucking way he wrote that. Speaking of fucking, like, I mean, there's no way he wrote that, but if he did, he's way more gone than we thought he was. Just read this. Read it.
- [03:40]
A
Yeah, it says, here's what he put on Truth Social Tuesday. By the way, Monday was his original deadline, so he's tacoing on the deadline again. Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. That's.
- [04:05]
B
That part right there. Is like, what is happening? Because if he did write it, I'm talking dementia Dawn. Is that the wheel of that fucking train wreck? I'm just. I'm shocked, and I'm shocked more people on the Republican side are not. Not shocked. I'm surprised on this one that more people aren't like, hey, maybe that shouldn't be the way the President speaks. I don't know.
- [04:29]
A
Yeah, and the sane washing in the corporate media is just bananas. And we're going to go over all the examples of where the New York Times pulled out the fucking crazy bastards a la part and left the rest. And, like, we're going to go over every single instant. No, not every single. A handful. We don't have that much time on the Beans Talk podcast, but we'll show you those sane washing headlines. All right, we have a lot of news to get to. Let's hit the hot notes. Hot notes. All right, first up from the Times, an expansive inquiry by the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general into the handling of contracts under the agency's former secretary Kristi Noem is scrutinizing her senior advisor Corey Lewandowski's interactions with companies seeking federal business. And that's according to multiple people familiar with the investigation. This inquiry comes as administration officials have fielded complaints from companies about their dealings with Lewandowski, according to two people. And they and others familiar with the inquiry, by the way, spoke on a condition of anonymity. Among the companies that complained is Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm whose services have been used broadly by Homeland Security, including for a new program to help track individuals for deportation. The focus of the investigation by the inspector general, Joseph Cuffari, who was nominated to his post by Trump in his first term. And by the way, I'm throwing this in here just as an extra. One of only two inspectors general Trump did not fire. This is the guy who covered up the deletion of the Secret service texts on January 6th. That guy got it.
- [06:00]
B
That guy.
- [06:01]
A
This reflects the widening fallout from Noem's rocky tenure. That's putting it mildly. Mr. Trump abruptly fired her last month amid criticisms of an expensive advertising campaign that prominently featured her. The inquiry deepens the questions about the latitude she granted to Lewandowski, a special advisor who was not an official government employee and was supposed to serve in a limited capacity. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated by this attention that Noem and Lewandowski have drawn, according to people familiar. The president's anger grew when photos were released last week showing Lewandowski accompanying Noem at a diplomatic meeting with leaders from Guyana. And on Wednesday, incoming DHS Secretary Mark Quain reversed a policy instituted by Noem that requires every contract over $100,000 to be personally reviewed by her. And that's what the agency said to the New York Times. And, you know, I gotta tell you, the Times saying here that Trump has grown frustrated by the attention that Noem and Lewandowski have drawn. I don't think that's it. See, Lewandowski set up multiple consulting firms and said if you want to keep your contract or get a new contract, you're gonna have to also hire this cons consulting firm and give them an extra 40 or $50 million, which is basically Lewandowski. I think what Trump's pissed about is that Lewandowski was getting kickbacks and Trump wasn't cut in.
- [07:19]
B
That's probably what it is.
- [07:21]
A
That's what I think this is. And like I said, Kufari is one of Trump's darlings. So if Cufari is investigating Lewandowski, that means Trump is Pissed at Lewandowski. This isn't some awesome independent investigation. This is Trump being mad at Lewandowski and getting his favorite, you know, one of two inspectors general he didn't fire to investigate him. The other one was Michael Horowitz, the. The former DOJ inspector general.
- [07:47]
B
Yeah.
- [07:48]
A
So he also got to keep his job. Anyway, I'm glad he's under investigation and that he'll be held accountable, but he's being held accountable for the wrong reasons.
- [07:57]
B
I agree. I agree. This next story is from Bloomberg. The Trump administration's fiscal 2027 budget request proposes initial steps to what? Privatized TSA. What?
- [08:08]
A
Who's been saying that?
- [08:09]
B
We have, and I believe Project 2025, chapter five. Fucking wrote it out for everyone. And everyone's like, what? The proposal includes a $52 million reduction for TSA tied to requiring smaller airports to enroll in the Screening Partnership program. That's an existing system under which private contractors paid by TSA handle passenger screening. Private contractors. That sounds wonderful. The administration said airports already using the program have demonstrated cost savings compared with federal screening operations. Again, this is from the administration. Don't believe the numbers.
- [08:42]
A
They do not. This is what they did to the VA by expanding vets being able to see private doctors. They charge a lot more and it's a lot shittier. Yeah.
- [08:51]
B
The budget request, which signals the administration's priorities for the coming year, would accelerate a years long push among some Republicans to reduce TSA's federal footprint and rely more heavily on private operations, a model the White House and supporters argue improves efficiency. Again, don't believe what you read. Beyond tsa, the budget request proposes scaling back the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure security agency by $707 million compared to its last funding level by cutting programs focused on combating misinformation. Conservatives have panned that work as censorship. Now the plan also calls for consolidating several headquarters the functions into one office. These include DHS's intelligence arm as well as the Secretary's arm office, the department's Management Directorate, and a situational awareness office for a cost savings of $53 million. That's according to the request. The budget would also end or reduce some Federal Emergency Management Agency grant funding, including programs such as targeted violence and terrorism prevention. I don't know. That seems important while I'm flying. Part of what the administration describes as efforts to eliminate wasteful spending.
- [10:03]
A
Uh huh.
- [10:04]
B
At the same time, the proposal maintains investments in immigration enforcement and border security. This is what consistent with President Trump's hardline agenda, the budget also calls for steep cuts to funding for education, housing and health. All of these things are connected.
- [10:22]
A
Burying the lead there. So cutting out Medicaid, Medicare, hud, education, all to pay for the immigration, deportation and probably more tax cuts for billionaires.
- [10:35]
B
Cool. Yeah, cool.
- [10:36]
A
Cool. Next up from the Wall Street Journal, An Iranian drone attack last month on the embassy in Saudi Arabia did more extensive damage than previously disclosed, according to current and former American officials, showing Iran's ability to hit Washington assets in the kingdom. The attack happened March 3, when an Iranian drone evaded the air defenses that guarded Riyadh's gated diplomatic quarter and slammed into an American compound. A minute later, a second drone flew into the HOL made by the first one and also exploded. These nighttime strikes penetrated a secure part of the embassy where several hundred people would have been working in the day and heavily damaged three floors. Current and former officials said the CIA station was among the areas hit now, while the Saudi Defense Ministry then said the attack had resulted in limited fire and minor damage, Current and former officials said it was way worse, sparking a blaze that raged for half a day. Parts of the embassy were damaged and not recoverable. So way worse than previously thought. And we haven't heard much from CENTCOM either. They're definitely downplaying the amount of damage that Iran is doing. This is from News Channel 5. Iran shooting down two American military jets marks an exceedingly rare assault for the US that has not happened in more than 20 years and shows the Islamic Republic's continued ability to hit back despite Trump asserting that it's been completely decimated. So Iran shot down a US F15E Strike Eagle fighter jet on Friday. Both service members have been rescued, one early on and then another through a special operations thing that had to happen in the first place. Iranian state media also said a US A10 attack aircraft, that's a Warthog, crashed after being hit by Iranian defense forces. That was during the search and rescue. Now the last time a US Warplane was shot down by enemy fire and Combat was an A10 Thunderbolt 2 during the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. That's retired Air Force Brigadier General Houston Cantwell, a former F16 fighter pilot. That's what he said. And from CNN, roughly half of Iran's missile launchers are still intact. Half thousands of one way attack drones remain in Iran's arsenal despite the daily pounding by US And Israeli strikes against military targets over the past five weeks. That's according to recent US Intelligence assessments. So some people might be fired soon. The US Intelligence assessment total might include launchers that are inaccessible, like those that are buried underground by strikes but haven't been destroyed. Thousands of Iranian drones still exist, roughly half of the country's drone capabilities, according to two sources. The intelligence compiled in recent days also shows a large percentage of Iran's coastal defense cruise missiles are intact. That consistent with the US not focusing its air campaign on coastal military assets? Though they have been hitting ships, those missiles serve as a key capability that allows Iran to threaten shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. So they're leaving all the ones on shore in the Strait of Hormuz. So just, I mean, I don't think we're getting accurate information out of this administration.
- [13:40]
B
No, of course not. We're switching gears a little bit. This one's from the Post. The top librarian in Rutherford County, Tennessee, has been fired this week for refusing to move over 130 books with LGBTQ themes to the system's adult section, capping months of tumult that made the suburban county the latest frontline in a national debate over access to books about queer and transgender people. The county board near Nashville voted 8 to 3 to Fire Library director Luann James in a spirited meeting Monday in which supporters and detractors of James spoke on her stance to applause and cheers, and they quote, all I'm going to say is that I stand by my decision. This is what James said at the board meeting before she got fired, she said, I will not change my mind. Much of the audience of the board meeting broke into cheers and applause after her statement. Chants of shame were heard as board members voted to fire her. The books flagged by the library board included children's comics with transgender characters and books about trans activists, according to a list obtained by the Washington Post. Books were also flagged for containing partially unclothed people, female empowerment discussions, social justice concepts and a gay couple, among other topics. Books moved to the adult section of the Rutherford county library system are inaccessible to children under 18 without their parents written permission. This is according to Silva's now battles over access to children's books with LGBTQ themes. They played out through library boards across the country as the Trump administration pushes a rollback of trans rights and has fanned conservative opposition to some books. A North Carolina county dissolved its library board entirely in December after the board voted keep a picture book about a transgender boy in the children's section. In May, five Michigan librarians they quit after a dispute with their conservative library board. The debate flared in Tennessee in September when Secretary of State Trey Hargett sent a letter to state library directors ordering them to comply with Trump's January executive order barring federal funds from being used to promote, and I quote, gender ideology. Fucking define it. A month later, Hargett ordered some libraries to review their children's books for age appropriateness. In December, James invoked whistleblower protections and alleged that York, the board chair, had directed her to remove certain books and disclose the information of library users, according to a board meeting. Yep. York, by the way, denied these allegations. The Rutherford County Library Board voted in late March to relocate a list of flag books, including books with LGBTQ themes, from children's and teen sections to adult sections, following a content review. This is according to Newsite and the Advocate. York said all the items that would be reclassified and I quote, promoted gender confusion and would be dangerous for children, according to board meeting recording. James refused to carry out the move and wrote in an email to the board that its decision was a violation of the First Amendment and a clear act of viewpoint discrimination, according to the Advocate. Rutherford county residents who'd been following the standoff gathered for a charged library board meeting on Monday ahead of a vote on James termination. The majority of the speakers who gave public comment during the hour long meeting, they spoke in support of James, arguing that the board's decision to reclassify LGBTQ themed books was discriminatory, and called James an example of courage and integrity. Silvas of the Rutherford County Library alliance said James was overwhelmed but grateful for the support she received. And I quote, her words to the public are thank your librarians, get your library card, go to the library. Silva said, and went on to say, and her words for other librarians are be strong. You're not alone.
- [17:33]
A
Just, I mean, these are books for children.
- [17:36]
B
Yeah.
- [17:37]
A
And they want to move them to the adult section.
- [17:42]
B
Yeah.
- [17:42]
A
This is why it was so important that we gutted all the moms of liberty from the school boards and.
- [17:48]
B
Exactly.
- [17:49]
A
And this is why your local elections are so important. All right, thanks for that story. This is from cbs. Apple shareholders on Tuesday rejected a proposal to end the diversity equity and inclusion program at Apple, the National center for Public Policy Research, which is a conservative tank. I'm going to leave the word think out of it.
- [18:07]
B
Yeah.
- [18:09]
A
Had called on Apple to follow other major companies in backing off from DEI in responding to the anti DEI proposal. Apple defended its diversity program as an integral part of its corporate culture, crediting the policies in part for making the technology giant the most valuable company in the world. Yeah, quote, we've never had quotas or targets. For Apple, our strength has always come from hiring the very best people and then providing a culture of collaboration. That's Tim Cook. Tim Apple, the CEO, during a question and answer period at the meeting. While conceding the company may need to revise aspects of its diversity policies as the legal landscape evolves. Yeah, don't do that, Tim.
- [18:48]
B
Yeah, this one's from NBC. Yeah, don't do that. This one's from NBC. The Department of Homeland Security is pausing plans to buy more warehouses to detain immigrants. This is according to two senior DHS officials, who stress the decision may only be temporary. The two officials said that while purchasing is on hold, plans are moving forward to develop facilities that have already been acquired for that purpose. It's not clear yet whether incoming Homeland Security Secretary Marquane Mullen will change the direction of immigration enforcement and detention. Under Nome, U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement brought up mega warehouses around the country that could house up to 8,000 immigrants per facility. And by the way, they bought them up at twice the amount of their value. This whole thing was a fucking. I mean, just a scheme. These people are making money hand and fist from the federal government, which is really weird. But local leaders and members of Congress in some of the districts where the detention centers were planned, they pushed back. Maryland sued successfully to stop ICE from developing a warehouse near Hagerstown. Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican in Mississippi, criticized the DHS's plans to turn a warehouse in Byhalia, Mississippi, into an ICE detention center. He said, I'm all for immigration enforcement, but this site was meant for economic development and job creation. We cannot suddenly flood Baial with an influx of. Of up to 10,000 detainees. That's what Wicker said in February 4 post on Twitter before Gnome scrapped the plans entirely.
- [20:17]
A
Yeah, so DHS has paused its concentration camp warehouse purchasing program for the time being. That's incredible. And I really want to credit groups like Project Saltbox who go in there and make it almost impossible for DHS to buy these warehouses. Yeah. All right, everybody. We've got good news to get to, but we have to take a quick break. Stick around. We'll be right back after these messages. We'll be right back. Hey, everybody. I like clothes.

Supporters have donated more than $100,000 after a Tennessee library director was fired for refusing to relocate books from the kids section to the adult section, a directive First Amendment advocates have condemned. Luanne James was fired March 30 as director of Rutherford County Libraries after refusing the library board's March 16 directive to move 132 LGBTQ+ themed books selected by by board chair Cody York and board member Beth Duffield. There is a link in the show notes to this article from the Tennessean where you can read more about the situation and the article links to the fundraising in this case and you can help. So that's your good trouble today.

B
Thanks so much. I got another one. We got good trouble number two. This is time sensitive. Okay. The Secretary of the Interior proposes to revoke the withdrawal of approximately 336,000 plus acres a public lands located within a radius of approximately 10 miles surrounding Chaco Cultural National Historical park in San Juan County. This is in northwestern New Mexico. I have been there. It is stunning. Now public land order, this is PLO number 7923 established a withdrawal in 2023 which withdrew these public lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws and from leasing under the mineral leasing laws subject to valid existing rights for a 20 term. Okay. Revocation of the PLO number 7923 withdrawal would restore discretion over mineral leasing to the Bureau of Land Management and would reopen that public land to location and entry under the United States mining laws. Public comment period ends Tuesday. All right, April 7th. We have just a couple days for this. There's going to be a link in the show notes to an article where you can learn more and a link to make public comment. We're going to have both of these in the show notes for you. Again, this is Chaco Canyon and New Mexico and it is a gorgeous place that needs to be protected.

A
Yeah, Trump wants to drill for oil and strip mine it. So, yeah, make those public comments. Thanks for that, Dana. First good news from L pronoun she, her they them late submitting, but I made this sign last minute for the march in Memphis. Great crowd joyfully marching down Beale Street. Look at this draft Baron with. With a crown with a circle and a line through it. That's a really good sign. It's very.

It is very cool.

And from Andy, pronouns he and him first. After a year of the news making me incredibly sad and depressed, I've made you my only news source. I like that you feature when we actually fight back and win. And the good news really uplifts me each morning. Thanks, Andy. My good news is recognizing some great people in our community. I volunteer with Shift Community Cycles in Eugene, Oregon and their free Bikes for Kids program. Our executive director, the staff, and dozens of volunteers provide free bikes, bike maintenance training, free programs like Kids Bike Summer Camp, and support to the underprivileged, unhoused and LGBTQ members of our county. We donated 650 bicycles to the community last year, giving people a way to get to work or for fun and fulfillment for a child whose family can't afford a bike. Being around the team there makes me so inspired and happy. I'm sharing some of the great signs my daughter created for the recent rallies. My daughter has fun with them while you can. See, my wife doesn't beat around the bush with her message for my pod pet tariff. If you're getting two of our dogs, we actually have five now. We took on two more when my wife's father passed away last year. These two here are the crazy ones. Indigo will be easy to identify. While you'll never guess what Franklin is made of. Thanks for all the love and hope you bring into the world. All right, so there's the Trump rapes kids.

There's plenty of time left for them to outshine the 40s. It's early still.
- [34:45]
B
It's early. I'm actually looking forward to this decade, if I'm honest. I think there's a lot of big things about to happen that I've been building on for years. So, you know, we're stepping into our own. But yeah, it's kind. It's sort of wild. It's a big number.
- [34:56]
A
It is. It is a big number. But it's going to be amazing. And I look forward to welcoming you into the 1950s. No, I'm just kidding. The 50s. Anyway, thanks all so much for listening. We'll be back in your ears tomorrow. Until then, please take care of yourselves, take care of each other, take care of the planet, take care of your mental health and take care of your family.

filming the Way on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela was one of the most important and rewarding experiences of my life, and it was by far the most satisfying role of my career. The Way was filmed in 2009 over an eight week schedule and followed the pilgrimage route from St Jean Pierre de Port in the French Pyrenees, across northern Spain to Santiago and then on to Muchia for the final scene. And the entire production was a family affair. Those are the opening lines of a story I share and they reflect the very heart of my podcast and through sharing autobiographical stories and inspired poetry and personal reflections, that is the theme I find myself exploring again and again. But I do so in the hope that it sparks listeners to see how it relates to their own lives and their own story of their discovery. So please join me each Sunday for a beautifully crafted 20 minute journey of personal exploration. I'm proud to announce the Martin Sheen Podcast Season two. I've often said if it's not personal, it's impersonal. And that is how I choose to approach my podcast. With all its contents from storytelling to poetry and book selections, each unique episode is a journey we will share together. And I think it's important you know that I have no intention of leaving who I am at the door with this podcast. Anyone who knows me knows I cannot tell a personal story that doesn't have at least some social justice connection at its core. I have my convictions and issues that draw on my empathy and compassion. Frankly, that's what drives and informs my conscience and makes me who I am.
