9:05Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem created a propaganda video blaming "Democrats in Congress" twice for the government shutdown and demanded all airports nationwide play it during TSA screenings—despite major airports including Harry Reid International in Las Vegas, Seattle-Tacoma, and Portland International refusing to show it. The hosts reveal how the video violates the Hatch Act of 1939, which bars federal employees from using federal facilities, equipment, or time for political activity that attacks a political party, with violations extending from Cabinet Secretary Noem down to any government employees ordering airports to play it, while airports have the legal right to refuse since they own their facilities and are not government property. They detail how the video misuses government resources to produce non-essential political content during a shutdown when agencies should only perform essential services, similar to 2019 when Trump administration official Chad Wolf committed a similar Hatch Act violation blaming Democrats for a shutdown but faced no significant penalties, while the TSA Union itself called the video "sick" for politicizing TSA employees working without pay and using them as political pawns, with enforcement depending on the Office of Special Counsel's Hatch Act unit—likely now led by a Trump loyalist—making legal action through organizations with standing like the TSA Union the best chance to stop this behavior.
