6:24Now PlayingDonald Trump has come up with an idea that is so cartoonish that critics are saying it sounds like something that Wile E. Coyote would think of – and Kristi Noem has agreed to implement this absolutely bonkers idea. The idea, which Noem announced this week, is to paint Trump’s border wall black because darker colors retain heat, and then the wall will be “too hot” for anyone to try to climb. We truly are living in the dumbest timeline possible, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nome got to head back down to the southern border this week where she once again got to play dress up, you know, dressed as a border patrol agent. And then just a few moments later, she actually got to pretend to be a painter. So the American taxpayers are literally paying millions of dollars a month for Christy Nome to travel around the country playing dress up and make believe. So that's gotta be a lot of fun for her. I mean, somebody with the mentality of like a 4-year-old, they would love that. And Christy Nome seems to be loving it. So, you know, make from that what you will. But here's the thing. Kristi Nome, during her little press briefing down at the southern border, announced that she was in fact giving in to what might be one of Donald Trump's dumbest ideas ever.
And then she literally walks away from the podium and starts implementing Donald Trump's very stupid plan. And what's the stupid plan you might ask? Well, I'm glad you asked that. The very stupid plan is that they're gonna paint the southern border wall black, because as Christie Noam says, Donald Trump heard that if something is black, it's gonna get hotter in the sun than something that's not black. So we're gonna paint the wall black and just make it so hot that nobody could even think about climbing it, right? They're just gonna walk up to it. Ah, ah, I wish I were joking. I wish this were from a movie, because this is something you would see in the naked gun. This is something you would see in Airplane or Monty Python, or even a Tim Robinson sketch. But nope, this is our government. And by the way, here is Christy Nome at her little press briefing telling us exactly how we're gonna send people out of the United States. Here she is.
Remember that a nation without borders is no nation at all. And we're so thankful that we have a President that understands that and understands that a secure border is important to our country's future. Now, if you look at the structure that's behind me, it's tall, which makes it very, very difficult to climb. Almost impossible. It also goes deep into the ground, which would make it very difficult, if not impossible to dig under. And today we are also going to be painting it black, uh, that, that is specifically at the request of the President, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer and it will make it even harder for people to climb. So we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we, uh, encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally, uh, to not break our federal laws, but that they will abide and come to our country the right way so that they can stay and have the opportunity to become United States citizens and pursue the American dream.
Now, critics on social media, were of course very quick to point out that this is very Looney Tunes ish. And it's basically straight out of the Wy Coyote Playbook. And I could not agree with that more. I mean, really. And then, okay, alright, listen, after Christie Dome comes up there and she does her little spiel, you didn't get to see it on care about, but she leaves the podium, goes and grabs a paint roller and starts just like we're painting it black right now, we're painting it black right now. And then you had Border Patrol Chief Mike Banz, who came out, and then he did a little bit of it. And he is like, the black paint's gonna protect the wall from rusting as well.
