“They Spied On Me” - Sec. Kristi Noem: Secret DHS File Room, El Mencho Fallout & Deep State Purge

Secretary Kristi Noem discusses critical national security challenges, including countering China's long-term global dominance strategy, securing the U.S. border, and combating the 'deep state' within government, all while highlighting her department's unfunded status for upcoming events like the World Cup.

• China poses a multi-generational threat, actively undermining U.S. security through economic, cyber, and agricultural infiltration.

• Internal 'deep state' elements within government are being purged, with evidence of unauthorized surveillance and compromised security clearances found within DHS.

• Border security efforts have significantly reduced illegal immigration and child trafficking, but critical DHS operations, including World Cup security, are unfunded.

Secretary Kristi Noem outlines a range of national security issues, emphasizing China's ambitious long-term plan for global dominance and its multifaceted attacks on U.S. infrastructure and supply chains. She details her efforts within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to combat internal corruption and espionage, secure critical infrastructure from cyber threats, and implement President Trump's strict border enforcement policies. Noem also expresses concern about the Mexican government's ability to control cartels and highlights the critical need for funding to secure major upcoming events like the World Cup.

China's Global Strategy

• 00:00:03 China's objective extends beyond a five-year plan, aiming for global domination over hundreds to thousands of years, which necessitates undermining the United States. This strategy involves controlling food supply, intellectual property, and critical industries, leading to actions like banning Chinese land ownership in South Dakota and TikTok on state devices to protect U.S. interests and security.

• 00:13:30 China is identified as a significant, long-term threat to the United States, pursuing a centuries-long plan to become the world's dominant power by weakening the U.S. through economic manipulation, intellectual property theft, and cyber warfare. President Trump's approach involves aggressive tariffs and working with China to curb fentanyl precursors, using economic tools rather than military conflict to protect the nation.

• 00:15:47 China actively infiltrates U.S. technologies and critical infrastructure, including financial systems and major ports like Los Angeles, where Chinese-owned equipment can manipulate shipments and data. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically its Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is tasked with securing the electrical grid, water systems, food supply chain, and election infrastructure against coordinated hacking attempts from China, Iran, and Russia, though CISA's operations are currently unfunded.

Combating the Deep State

• 00:21:49 Upon assuming her role, Secretary Noem discovered a 'secret skiff secure facility' within DHS containing unknown files on controversial topics and employees working with unauthorized security clearances. Furthermore, her own phone and laptop were found to have surveillance software installed by department employees to spy on her and record meetings, leading to the immediate polygraphing and firing of these individuals.

• 00:25:57 The 'deep state' is confirmed to exist within the federal government, with individuals actively working against American interests and politically appointed officials. The department has identified and fired numerous employees who lacked appropriate security clearances, accessed information illegally, or were deceptive during polygraph examinations, indicating a pervasive issue of internal opposition to the administration's goals.

Immigration and Border Security

• 00:32:04 President Trump's strategy for immigration includes both border enforcement and strategic messaging to deter illegal entry, promoting the idea that the border is closed and laws will be enforced. Commercials were aired in countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, warning that illegal immigrants would be arrested, detained, and deported, losing any future chance to enter the U.S. legally.

• 00:37:19 While prioritizing the deportation of criminals, the administration aims to remove all individuals in the country illegally, with millions having voluntarily returned home due to enforcement actions. The U.S. offers incentives such as plane tickets and financial assistance, and works with home countries to provide housing, job training, and education for returning citizens, while warning that those who await deportation will be barred from future legal entry.

• 01:03:59 The open border policies of the previous administration facilitated child trafficking, with over 400,000 children lost, some even placed with corrupt sponsors in federal programs who then trafficked them. The current administration has recovered over 150,000 of these children and implemented DNA testing at the border to verify familial relationships, leading to a dramatic drop in new child trafficking cases due to increased border security.

South Dakota's COVID Response

• 00:06:05 As governor, Kristi Noem prioritized constitutional rights and personal responsibility during the COVID-19 pandemic, making South Dakota the only state that never closed businesses or mandated masks. This approach, though heavily criticized nationally and by the federal government, resulted in a lower loss of life than most states, economic growth, and an influx of new residents, proving the benefits of trusting citizens with their freedom.

Mexico's Cartel Crisis

• 00:44:33 President Trump designated Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations due to their severe threat to the American people. Mexico's inability to control these cartels, exacerbated by previous administrations' policies that allowed them to become multi-billion dollar enterprises through human and drug trafficking, has led to a volatile situation where the Mexican government struggles to survive and may have corrupt elements within its own military and cabinet.

• 00:47:26 Mexican President Shinbaum faces a precarious situation with embedded criminals within her government and potentially untrustworthy military personnel, making it difficult to openly confront cartels. Despite being disappointed by Shinbaum's initial reluctance to partner extensively with President Trump, the U.S. continues to share intelligence and offer support to dismantle cartel networks, aiming to prevent Mexico's current instability from spreading to the U.S.

DHS Funding and World Cup Security

• 00:59:52 The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) critical role in securing large-scale national events like the upcoming World Cup is jeopardized by a lack of funding from Congress. Essential preparations, including purchasing drones, investing in security technologies, and providing grants to cities, are at a standstill, leaving the U.S. vulnerable to potential threats from millions of international visitors and hostile actors during the event.

• 01:00:59 Approximately 280,000 DHS employees, including those responsible for critical security measures for the World Cup, are either working without pay or furloughed because Democrats in Congress have not agreed to fund the department. This lack of funding poses a significant risk to national security, especially with millions of international visitors expected for the World Cup, necessitating immediate congressional action to restore full operational capacity.
