Trump FIRES DHS Head Kristi Noem In MASSIVE Shakeup w/ Clinton Ohlers
Featuring: Clinton Ohlers
Episode Recap
Tim Pool and the Timcast IRL crew discussed the breaking news of President Trump firing Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security. The firing came after weeks of negative press following a fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens by federal officers during immigration operations in Minneapolis, as well as controversy over a $200 million ad campaign that Trump claims he knew nothing about. Trump announced he would appoint MMA fighter Mark Wayne Mullen to replace Noem, though the hosts questioned whether Mullen could get Senate confirmation. The panel also covered leaked Miami GOP group chats containing racist language, a suspected insider making $100,000 predicting U.S. military action in Iran by month's end, and the controversial story of Seth Moulton bringing an illegal immigrant to the State of the Union who was a person of interest in a minor abuse case. Guest Clinton Ohlers, a PhD holder in history of science from the University of Pennsylvania representing Safe Blood, joined the discussion for what Tim promised would be an uncensored portion of the show.

“Some people are saying this proves it's going to happen because you've got somebody with insider information making a lot of money, a hundred grand in a month. My argument's a little different.
