12:05Now PlayingLuke Thomas: Kristi Noem’s $200+ million DHS ad campaign is not border security, it is self-dealing on your dime. In this video, we break down how a firm tied to Noem quietly benefited from a massive no bid contract, how shell companies in Delaware helped hide the money trail, and why this looks less like “law and order” and more like aristocrats looting the treasury.
We walk through reporting on the Mount Rushmore ICE ad shoot, the mysterious contractor structure, and the parallel scandal involving Gulfstream private jets bought during a government shutdown. Then we zoom out: what does it mean when the same people screaming about “illegals” and “fiscal responsibility” are the ones burying jobs and GDP reports while siphoning public money to friends and allies through opaque deals and culture war PR?
In the second half, the conversation shifts to who should actually be trusted with power. Abdul El Sayed’s work on Medicare for All, his public health background, and a real plan to stop people from dying because they are too poor to see a doctor are contrasted with the Noem style corruption model that treats government as a cash machine.
If you are tired of being told to fear immigrants while your tax dollars fund private jets and propaganda, this one is for you.
