Kristi Noem PANICS As Democrats CONFRONT Her Lies To Her FACE!

Now, this is Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Not only has Secretary Noem been busy filming propaganda ads, she's also been busy cashing in on millions of taxpayer dollars. In fact, Secretary Noem has funneled millions of dollars to a company called the Strategy Group. The Strategy Group helped Secretary Noome win her campaign to become the

governor of South Dakota. Corey Lewandowski, her top policy advisor, has worked with the firm. And the company's CEO is married to Secretary Nome's chief spokesperson, Mrs. Trisha McLaughlin. This is what corruption looks like. They're stealing money from the American people's pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.

Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett called her out.

And Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourself with the four corners of this room. Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, get to know that witness chair.

You're going to be parked in it for a long time. Tom Homan, get to know that witness chair.

You're gonna be parked in it for a long time. You're gonna have a lot of questions under oath with the subpoena power. And I hope what you're doing is clean and can withstand the scrutiny that everyone on this side of the aisle is going to bring. You think we won't do it.

You think you're invincible. You're wrong. Accountability is coming. You've got about a year and I yield back.

California Congressman Eric Swalwell also went after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, not just in the setting.

So I want to put to rest this question about Mr. Garcia in this photo that the president posted on April 21. Madam Secretary, you agree that the letters MS and the number 13 in Times Roman numeral font, that they are doctored on this photo right? Congressman

Braco Garcia, no no I'm just asking about this photo. It wasn't based off of tattoos it was based off an entire case.

And I'll accept that for the purpose of this question. You agree though that this is doctored is that right? The same protocols that are applied to every individual. Madam Secretary, I want you to have credibility and I want you to be taken seriously. Is this doctored or is it not doctored?

Sir, I am taken quite seriously because I approach the job with the importance that the President has given me to do my job.

I understand. Is it doctored or not doctored?

One thing that's important to remember is that every single time a case is built— I have a detector. I'm just asking you is this doctored or not doctored? Sir, the protocols in the case built against you were exactly the same. Madam Secretary, I don't have any knowledge as to that photo you're pointing to. Okay, can you take a look at the photo?

Walk with the photo down there. No, that one. Please take a look at this photo. It was tweeted by the president on April 21. It's been hanging out there for about a month. So what is your point? My question is the numbers and the letter MS 13. Could

you look at the photo, please? It's right in front of you saying a break. Oh, Garcia's not a way. No, no, ma'am. I'm not a criminal. He's not a human trafficker. And I'm not a

member of MS. You vouch for Mr. Garcia when your team set. Ma'am, you're you vouch for him when you said he was mistakenly deported. I didn't vouch for him.

I did not say that. He should have been deported. Absolutely.

It's so telling that you won't look at the photo.

And we will not be bringing him back to this country.

Was it doctored or not?

In staying here, if he comes back to this country, he would be taken right away.

Madam Secretary, can you look to the right at the photo in front of you. I have seen this photo as you held it behind your head. Thank you. And the letters MS and the numbers 13, are those doctored or not? Is this your

entire testimony today is on a doctored photo? You don't want to talk about the facts, the importance of our national security? You acknowledge it was doctored. You want to make sure that

the United States is protected? Madam Secretary, this is not a hard question. Are those doctored or not? Is that actually on his hand or not?

This is unbelievable to me that you're focused on a photo that you think...

It's unbelievable to me that you can't look at the photo and tell the American people.

I looked at the photo, but I don't have any knowledge as to this photo.

Okay, so it's been hanging out there for four weeks. You are one of the chief law enforcement officials in the country. What have you done to investigate whether the president misrepresented the reason that that person has been detained? Have you done anything to try and figure out whether that was doctored or not?

But as it pertained to Kilmar Abrego Garcia on that first video.

Because since Noem took over DHS at the beginning of the year, she's become known for appearing to be more obsessed with putting on various costumes than doing her actual job. I mean, she donned a bulletproof vest just to talk to her own agents, she wore a customs and border patrol uniform on Fox News, and of course she is constantly, and I mean constantly, throwing on a cowboy hat and riding horses. Always with plenty of cameras around to capture the moment. But Noam's apparent obsession with image actually goes much further than just putting

on costumes because she has directed more than $200 million taxpayer dollars into TV ads to promote her work at DHS. And just to put it in context, that is nearly twice what DHS spent on ads altogether in all of last year. And the content of those ads have already been a scandal in and of themselves.

I'm Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for securing our border.

And if you're wondering who exactly the target audience is for that, DHS spent $30,000 to run that ad, the one I just showed you, specifically in the ad market where Mar-a-Lago is. Now as much as spending tens of thousands of dollars to make sure your ad plays on the TV near the president is a bizarre waste of taxpayer money, $30,000 it turns out is a bizarre waste of taxpayer money. $30,000, it turns out, is a drop in the bucket compared to the more than $200 million DHS has spent this year making and airing ads.

And the rest of that money is where the story gets truly bonkers. I mean, since March, we have known that DHS skipped the normal competitive bidding process when giving out the contracts to make and air these ads. DHS claimed that because Trump declared an emergency at the southern border,

they didn't have to waste time getting competitive bids. And that brings me to the first part of ProPublica's big scoop today. Because it turns out that the majority of that no-bid contract money, 143 million taxpayer dollars, went to this mysterious LLC in Delaware. An LLC that was created just days before it got that no bid contract, just days. And the man who owns the home that that LLC lists as,

it's addressed, did not respond to ProPublica's questions. Now when asked why the agency chose that LLC, DHS said, quote, the results speak for themselves. So DHS gave a $143 million no bid contract to a brand new LLC that no one seems to know anything

about. Well, that sounds like a lot of waste, fraud and abuse here. Speaking of, here was Gnome and FBI director Kash Patel in Las Vegas to take in Formula One. On the taxpayers dime, nonetheless, here they were driving a Lego car. The Independent wrote, although it was not immediately clear how either of the senior Trump officials had traveled to the event in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Patel does have a home, critics were quick to blast his previous use of public resources.

Furthermore, he reportedly used an FBI SWAT team to protect his country music singer girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, and used a government jet for personal travel, including golf excursions and a trip with friends to a private resort in Scotland. That is per the New York Times. The elite agents assigned to protect Wilkins drew a ton of critiques, including from conservatives who questioned the use of resources. A telling quote from Reuters was this. Patel said he

was absolutely an F1 fan and that he supported McLaren. Asked whether he would switch allegiances when the American team Cadillac joins the grid, Patel hedged, I'll have to see how they

do, he would say. You were rightly critical of the way that the previous FBI director used the FBI jet. And you said you wanted to ground Chris Wray's private jet travel that he pays for with taxpayer dollars to hop around the country. Let me ask you this, you know, on the weekend of, according to flight tracker data, on the weekend of March 7th, an FBI plane flew round trip from DC to Las Vegas and you attended a UFC flight with Mel Gibson. And I'll show you that.

Is that you? And is that true?

Yeah, you want to know the difference? I live in Las Vegas. I'm allowed to go home. I didn't leave a congressional hearing early on an FBI jet to dodge questions.

All right. Then on April 5th, you attended a hockey game in New York City. You don't live there, right? No, I don't. By the way, everyday FBI agents who are signed in Washington don't get to fly home on a private jet. Well, this is a great point. Do you know why I have to use a private jet? Because Congress made it mandatory. Okay. In April 5th, well, we didn't make it mandatory that you go to UFC games with Milt Gibson. Are you telling me I can't go home?

You got to use some judgment here. So when I'm at home, I can't do what I'm doing when I go home. Everybody else is allowed to go home. Everybody else is allowed to go home. Let me keep going. No, I'm glad you go home. I love to go home, but I don't go home on a private jet. On April 5th, you're not mandated to do so. You attended a hockey game in New York City with Wayne Gretzky and Flight Tracker says the FBI jet took you to and from New York City where you don't live. Right. That's correct. And on April 12th, on the following weekend, you attended a UFC fight in Miami, also on

the FBI jet, right?

That's correct.

What's the cost to the taxpayer for those three flights?

I pay the commercial equivalent per the lower ends of the law.

And so just so you know, when you are comparing me to prior directors— I asked what the cost was and you don't know. I take it. Yeah and what I've done with the with the use of the private jet is use Andrews Air Force Base versus Reagan National as what the other directors have done to save the

taxpayer dollars. Bottom line here you flew home to the Las Vegas. Because what he's saying is he's a fair weather fan. That is exactly how the quote reads. If you know ball, you know ball. He is saying he will go whichever way the wind blows with his fanship. On taxpayer money, it's no surprise that this whole front of waste, fraud, and abuse with Doge shutting down was just that.

It was a front. And it was a way for them to not only scam the American taxpayer, but also the far right into thinking that these folks who are some of the richest and most powerful people on the planet actually had their back when they could give

a flying four letter word about them. a flying four letter word about them. It is all about the money, always with these people.
