So I'm with Tommy Larin here, and we did something really special. Tommy, should we tell everybody? We should. Right. I guess everyone's done this except me.
Now I do it all the time. All you need to do is touch phones to get someone's contact intentionally.
So now I feel old and I feel like you have, we have switched generations because you taught me how to taught me how to share contacts just by bumping phones. See, I've never done that, but I'm also, I'm always a little paranoid. I don't know who's going to share and who's going to steal the stuff off your phone. I've watched a lot of Homeland.
So, but you know what? For you, Brian, I will give it a try. We just did it. But only for you guys. Thank you.
Nobody else gets any ideas around here.
So you're worried that people are just going to touch your phone without you knowing and get your contact now. Contact?
So you're taking everything off. He just put it up. Exactly.
Now we need to put parental controls on it. Before we go any further, this weekend, six hours on TV. We're going to hope for six.
Sometimes it's eight. We're going to hope for six.
Oh, you're going for six? Is it eight or six? Oh, you mean?
Well, sometimes, sometimes we do. Do four hours because the weekends are hot.
So sometimes breaking news occurs, and then the big weekend crew is just there to clean up. Yeah, because I'm going to be live Sunday at 10.
So I'll see you there. I'll see you in the lobby, in the kitchen, in the gym, whatever you want. There we go.
So that'd be great. Know who you have on now? Do you have any gas lined up? We had a lot of gas, but I can't share them with you yet. Would you think it's 80% Iran?
Oh, we'll see. You know, I think there's a lot of other things going on, too. But we got Joey Jones, too, who's got a lot of expertise in that.
So we're going to be covering that heavy. But every once in a while, I try to slip in some fun stuff like Punch the Monkey. See, he's the war expert. I'm the Punch the Monkey expert. We know our roles.
But I would say in life. Have you ever felt like Punch the Monkey where nobody wants to play with you and somebody gives you a bunch of things and people want to give you invisible friends and things to that nature? For people to know, Punch the Monkey was totally abandoned at birth. Abandoned at birth and had no friends when he went with other monkeys, and they gave him a stuffed monkey. And Punch the Monkey's become.
A global figure. Replaced that, what was it, a hippopotamus? What was the other? That Mu Dang thing? Remember that?
Well, you got to keep up with the lovable internet creatures. But yes, Punch the Monkey has replaced Harambe and the monkey, the gorilla that was murdered. Yes, it made Jimmy Kimmel cry. Yes. Made me cry too, to be honest.
And when I watch Punch the Monkey be rejected by the other monkeys, I cry. What were you growing up? Did you have that? Were you bullied as a kid? Were you honestly?
Prime Reuters are going to jump right into it. No, but I can't say, I just see you as the popular one. No, I was not the popular one. Also, Only Child also grew up in the sticks.
So I spent a lot of time communicating with animals and inanimate objects. Really? Yes. Wow. But also, it makes you and your parents tight.
Yes. Am I correct? Very, very tight. Every day. Right.
And do they love that you're on TV and able to see what you're doing on a regular basis? They're my biggest fans, right? Outside of you, of course. I'm second biggest. I will take a back seat to them.
So, the other big story before we get into Iran is Christy Noam's exit. Your thoughts about why she's not there. Personally, I think this is. It's all self-inflicted. I don't think she executed her job well.
I think most of the border success is Tom Holman. And. And what happened in Minnesota, I blame for predominantly the governor and the mayor and the attorney general. I got it. But having said that, I don't think it was handled well.
It wasn't. And speaking of my childhood, born and raised in South Dakota, that was she's our former governor, right? I was her first congressional intern when she came into the House.
So oh yeah, no, I know I know Christy well. Um so people have this idea that people in South Dakota love Christy Noam. That's probably not the case for most of the population of South Dakota. You know, if they asked our opinion, if we got a vote in this, I think that you'd be surprised by our answers. But no, and I think that she made it about herself.
She made it about herself. She made it about the vanity. And, you know, I'm getting ripped apart online because I'm bringing up, you know, the outfits and the makeup and the hair extensions. And people go, Well, Tommy, you have outfits and hair extensions and makeup. True, but Brian, I'm on TV.
I'm not running DHS. You know, it's a little different, right?
So I think she made it about herself. And I just really don't think you can get past spending $220 million on a vanity ad that was shot, by the way, in my hometown of Rapid City, South Dakota, by Mount Rushmore. And it was all about Christy. It was about Christie. And before she got this job, when she was still governor, she was doing ads for, you know, for.
Teeth whitening and You name it. This is what she does.
So, am I surprised that this happened? No. I think she didn't realize how hot the microscope on her was going to be, but here we are.
So I want to hear I want the people at home to hear the exchange from a Republican. I think if this exchange happened with a Jamie Raskin or some partisan hack, it wouldn't have mattered. But Senator Kennedy has so much respect from the President, and I think the country. This is the exchange, Cut 36. You have spent.
$220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently. Sir, the President tasked me with getting the message out to the country and to other countries. Ask you to run these advertisements, is that right? We had that conversation, yes, before I was put in this position and sworn in and confirmed, and since then as well.
So he got further and got back to the president. Reuters asked the president, did you okay this? And he said no. I mean, it's tough to bounce back from that. I also don't know how you spend $220 million.
That's like the budget of a feature film. I just don't understand how you spend that much money. And I don't understand how featuring yourself on horseback by Mount Rushmore is getting the message across about deportations and a secure border. That never really made sense to me. It seemed more like a wannabe fragrance ad.
So it bothered me when it came out. And then the scrutiny on it, you know, yeah, you can't say the president okayed this. The president ran on, you know, cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.
So you can't go then and say, oh, yeah, he okayed this. I spent all this money to feature me on horseback, and the president was good with it. You can't do that. And you can't do it in front of Congress, and you can't do it in front of a Republican either when you're being questioned.
So is Senator Mark Waymoin a good choice? You know, I think that the verge is out on that. Here's my hope. I think Tom Holman is the true professional, as you already mentioned.
So I think as long as he is running the operations and he is guiding everything and everybody else is maybe a figurehead or everybody else is maybe in an advisory role, I think we're good to go. Let Tom Holman lead because that man knows how to work with the opposition. He's done it before. He knows how to lead Border Patrol, ICE. He knows how to not only secure the border, but he knows what it's like to be ICE and work in inner-city environments, something that maybe the Border Patrol agents that were brought in in Minneapolis didn't know how to do, didn't have the training to do.
Let Tom Holman do his job. He knows how to do it. This is Ainsley Earhart. Thank you for joining me for the 52-episode podcast series, The Life of Jesus. A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort, and understanding of the greatest story ever told.
Listen and follow now at FoxnewsPodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts. They already spoke. They spoke yesterday, Tom Holman and Senator Markway Moen, and he said, then I asked Senator Moen about it. He said he's a great man. And he's going to be front and center.
Todd Lyons is going to be front and center, actually running ice instead of being a lackey or the director.
So I'm optimistic that we might have a Rubio-like confirmation process. We get 70, 80 votes in the Senate. And one of the reasons, Senator Peter Walch, Democrat from Liberal Vermont, cut 39. Yeah, he'll be confirmed. The question is whether there'll be bipartisan support for him.
Mark Wayne Mullen is competent and he's honest.
So those are two good things that Christine Elm did not have. This is going to give us an opportunity to have a real discussion about what's going on with the Department of Homeland Security.
So I was just saying before you got here, Tommy, I don't know how close you follow my career. You don't have to tell me now. But I was just saying this this is the perfect off ramp.
So Democrats could actually say we won. They got the body cameras, no more roving patrols. They wanted Christy Noam out. Christy Noam's out. They could say, look, we got what we wanted.
Let's Fund DHS, but they're not doing it. Does that surprise you? No, because it's not what they want. They want to abolish ICE and they want to keep as many illegal aliens in this country as possible. They're not, some of them are afraid of it.
A lot of them aren't. A lot of them are very forthright that they don't want anybody to go. You know, sometimes they cry like, well, it's supposed to just be the worst of the worst. Democrats don't consider anybody to be worst of the worst. They consider Kilmar Brego Garcia to be an upstanding citizen.
So I think their goal is to keep anybody and everybody that shouldn't be here here. And if they're looking for an off-ramp, maybe because DHS needs to be funded, I can get that. But there's a lot of them who are true believers in abolish ICE.
Well, we just see this story that just broke down while we were talking on Media. Team Gnome fires back at White House, suggests Trump lied about the ag campaign. Oh, I don't think that's a good that's not a good strategy, Team Gnome. That's not who you want to go up against, Team Gnome.
Well, especially if you want to keep a job. She technically has a job of supreme ruler of the Western Hemisphere or something like that. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Christy Noam thanks Trump in her first statement, but it doesn't seem to be the statement she's got now. This is, that's not good. I mean, if this is this resonance, if this is true.
She went on to say, as allies are pushing a counter narrative in the wake of her firing, according to Daily Caller, Regan Reese, Noam has grievances with the Trump White House. One administration official informed Reese that Noam told Trump and his White House that she was not getting the support she needed at the end of 2025. And Trump agreed and stepped in to help, which led to a temporary improvement. But things got turned for the worst after federal agents shot and killed two Americans in Minneapolis. Yeah, that's part of the story.
Again, I don't see the strategy on behalf of Team Noam here going up against the Trump administration. I don't think it's a wise move for them, especially if you want to do something in politics.
Some people are saying she's going to go back to South Dakota and run for something. Please, no. Please don't put that on us. My poor state of South Dakota, just leave us alone. Just real quick, you saw her up close.
Is it not smart? Is it lazy? Is it self-centered? What is it? No, here's exactly what it is.
And she did this in South Dakota. And I feel like I'm an expert on this topic because I'm one of the few people you probably know from South Dakota.
Okay, so Christy Noam in the early days maybe was about the state, and she really was about the ranchers and the farmers and all these things. And then the camera lights turned on. That was right around 2020 when South Dakota was getting a lot of credit for not shutting down. Newsflash, South Dakota was never going to shut down, right? It wasn't Christy Noam that led that charge.
In fact, reports, some reports indicate the opposite. But she got a lot of camera time because of that, and it really went to her head. And then she wanted to be a celebrity. And then that's when South Dakota went way by the wayside. And then I think she was looking.
At potentially being a running mate for Trump, then her head got even bigger. And then she gets this role, and her head gets even bigger. And it's always been about her, but it was like that in South Dakota, too. And it's about propping up her lackeys, her friends, her associates. That's what it's always been about.
And I give her credit for running an incredibly difficult department because it is. But at the end of the day, when this mission is that important, when immigration is what this president ran on, you cannot be a sideshow. That's it. And now she wants that the show could be coming to a close. You have to go too outnumbered.
I do. And they're not going to let me talk about Christy No Bummer.
So I'm glad that you're going to be. Is that true? We got other things to cover. But maybe, you know, if we get a chance, Brian, maybe I'll just sneak it in there. I'm glad to be your therapist.
Listen, when we come back, I'll go from St. Petersburg to Portland to Oklahoma City to Jupiter, Florida. We'll have a lot of calls. And Dayton, Ohio, when the Brian Kill Me Show comes back. Thank you, Tommy Laron.
Thanks, Brian.
