We have major news right now. The knives are out inside the Trump administration where it really seems like everyone is trying to throw one another under the bus this afternoon. The latest, Kristi Noem is trying to throw Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, under the bus over the response to the murder of Alex Preddy. Donald Trump threw Greg Bovino under the bus on public television. It's a little chaotic right now inside of the White House and we're gonna see who comes out of this scruffle. But right now, if I had to guess, Kristi Noem will be on the outs because even if she somehow survives this internal conflict within the White House, they are pushing forward with her impeachment on Capitol Hill. And they say, Mr. President, if you're not going to fire Kristi Noem, we are going to impeach her. Lots of news to cover right now. Make sure to, like, comment, share and subscribe.

So let's just jump right in because this new article from Axios is pretty stunning. So Kristi Noem, she's under fire, as you know, for her remarks following the murder of Alex Preddy. She said that he was a domestic terrorist. She said that he came to massacre law enforcement. Well, that language was actually dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the operation, Stephen Miller. So someone within the administration is now telling on Stephen Miller, saying, you know what, it's actually Stephen Miller who said that Christy Noem should say that Alex Preddy was a domestic terrorist, wanted to massacre agents when none of that is true. Quote, everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president. And Stephen Noem said to a person who relayed her remarks to Axios, here's the thing. This is how the White House works. This is how politics works in Washington, D.C. i'll give you bit of an inside scoop here. This story would not come out if Kristi Noem didn't want it to come out, because these are her words that she's directly speaking. And, well, she obviously 100% either leaked this or told a person to leak it. And that's what's happening here. But let's continue because it gets even better. After the shooting of Alex Brady at about 10:05am Eastern Time, administration officials already knew that they had a potential disaster on their hands, but had little information why? Because apparently the officers involved in the shooting all shut up and got lawyers real quick. So there wasn't much information. Okay, so then Stephen Miller's direction, DHS officials assembled a statement based on information from other officers on the scene who said that Preddy had a firearm. Once Stephen heard gun and knew the narrative would be Preddy came to massacre cops. So Stephen Miller heard he had a gun and all of a sudden that was a narrative. But here's the thing. DHS posted the statement on 1231, about two hours after the horrific murder. White House officials signed off some of them, but some did not. Well, they were frustrated. Quote, others within the White House attempted to clean up the DHS statement prior to being sent, but it had already been disseminated. The President was kept apprised of the statement by Miller and Corey Lewandowski, who previously served as Trump's campaign manager. Then on Monday of this week, yesterday, Noem came to the White House at a two hour meeting to express her loyalty to the President of the United States. Miller wasn't in the room. So that's very interesting. Noem is now complaining to people saying that she's being hung out to dry over the episode and made sure to emphasize that she took direction directly from Stephen Miller and the President. Now, Donald Trump's not going anywhere. He's the President. Right. But the people under him can. And that's why I think Kristi Noem right now is trying to throw Stephen Miller under the bus. We're gonna see who survives this, whether it is Stephen Miller or it is Kristi Noem. But right now, the knives are out inside of the White House. But it's not just between Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem. Donald Trump today threw Greg Bovino, the former Border Patrol chief that had now been sidelined by Donald Trump. He threw him under the bus. Take a listen to this. Pretty stunning, actually.

And now it's got very little crime.
Political Commentator
But it's gone very differently in Minneapolis.
Co-host or Analyst
Well, it has.
Political Commentator
It's the only place now the message is out that Tom Homan is. Yeah, Commander Bovino is supposedly leaving Minneapolis along with some CBP agents. Is this a pullback?
Co-host or Analyst
I don't think it's a pullback. It's a little bit of a change. Everybody in this room that has a business, you know, you make little changes. You know, Bavino is very good, but he's a pretty out there kind of a guy. And in some cases that's good. Maybe it wasn't good here, but you.
Political Commentator
Have to that right There is Donald Trump clear as they throwing Bobino under the bus, saying he's pretty good, but he's a bit of an out there kind of guy. Out there. He's out there. He's not super mainstream. And in this case, he may not have been very good. So Bovino's out. And while Donald Trump during his visit to Iowa made some headlines because he suggested that he was more sympathetic to Renee Nicole Goode's murder than he was pretty. Why? Because Renee Nicole Goode's parents were Trump supporters. Take a listen.
Co-host or Analyst
Not sure about his parents, but I know her parents were big Trump fans. Makes me feel bad anyway. But I mean, I guess you could say even worse. They were tremendous Trump people. Trump fans. And, you know, the daughter was. She was, I don't know if you could say radicalized, maybe. Radicalized, maybe not. I don't know. But I hate to see it.
Political Commentator
I hate to see that he's suggesting that because Renee Goode's parents were Trump supporters, allegedly, that her murder was somehow worse. I mean, that is really what he's saying. And he's also dividing the Republican Party right now in Iowa, suggesting that because Preddy had a firearm, though pretty had a legal permit to carry that firearm. No issues. Completely legal to do that. That because he had a firearm, he's somehow maybe deserved this murder. Take a listen.
Co-host or Analyst
Bad. Can you tell? Is there one number that's bad? There's not one.
Political Commentator
Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Freddie is a domestic terrorist or an assassin?
Co-host or Analyst
Well, I haven't heard that, but certainly he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. But all of, hey, look, bottom line, everybody in this room, we view that as a very unfortunate incident. Okay, everyone, unless you're. You're a stupid person. Very, very unfortunate incident. I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That's a lot of bad stuff. And despite that, I say that's a very unfortunate.
Political Commentator
I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two loaded magazines. That's upsetting some folks who are very pro Second Amendment. I've been talking about this rift that's emerging. That rift is clear as day right now. You have pro Second Amendment people saying, well, Mr. President, just because he had a firearm doesn't mean he should have been executed, murdered. And then you have pro Trump people saying, well, he had a firearm, he shouldn't have been there with a firearm. And, well, now it seems as though, well, there's this rift in the White House right, between Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller at the end of the day. This is why I think Stephen Miller will surpass Kristi Noem in terms of staying there because Kristi Noem is facing major heat on Capitol Hill. This is a statement from Leader Jeffries, Whit Clark and Chair Aguilar saying, we're going to impeach Christine Noem. We are going to impeach her. If she is not fired, we are going to impeach her. Quote, this violence unleashed on the American people by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith. Kristi Noem should be fired immediately or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. That's a new statement from the Democratic leadership. I've spoken to folks on the Republican side as well, quietly, and they kind of all tell me they don't want Kristi Noem there. Now, will they go as far as impeaching her? The answer is probably not at this juncture because they want to stay loyal to the president. They don't want to be on the end of a truth social post. But they are quietly pushing to oust Kristi Noem as the head of the Department of Homeland Security. So a lot of moving parts right now. I'm going to continue digging and let you know what I find over the next several hours and days. But there is a major shift happening on Washington, D.C. and if I had to guess, the person you don't want to be right now is the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Kristi Noem.
