Brenton Goodman: Kristi Noem's HORRIFIC Blunder Explained

"Secretary Kristi Noem couldn’t define habeas corpus — while defending an administration that may be trying to eliminate it for undocumented immigrants. In this video, we explain what habeas corpus actually is, why it's a cornerstone of due process, and how the Trump administration’s plans could undermine constitutional protections for millions. Is this a legitimate national security move — or a dangerous attack on basic rights? You decide."

Again, we don't even pretend to be mind readers at The New Democrat... but only because we're not. (And this if is a newsflash for you, you might currently be suffering from brain damage) I only mention that because I think the main thing that you have to do, to even be qualified to work for Donald John Trump, is to put your ass (to be frank) on the line, but just for him. And that means even playing the idiot, not just on national TV, but in front of Congress, where you are under oath. Which is what Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem did in front of the House and Senate Homeland Security committees, last month. 

To work for Donald J. Trump, you have to put your own ass on the line for him. Not for the country, not for anyone else, not for some greater cause, just for him. And when he says  he doesn't have to follow the Constitution, or it doesn't apply to him, or makes some completely bogus claim (to put it mildly) about the Constitution, its your job to defend and act like you are defending the word of God, (meaning Donald John Trump) even if that means playing the idiot on national TV, or in front of Congress, knowing what you are saying is false. 

We've also said before on The New Democrat, that Kristi Noem is not a dumb person. She's currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. But to work for Donald John Trump, you have to play the idiot for him, even in front of Congress, even at risk of being held in contempt of Congress, for lying to Congress. She knows exactly what Habeas Corpus is, but if she said that, she would've been implying (if not admitting) that President Trump simply doesn't have the constitutional authority to simply round people up and deport them, with no due process. And as Kire Schneider wrote about her last month:

"But hey, the money is good, I guess she thinks the fame is good for a her future MAGA reality TV career... reality TV stars aren't known for their intelligence and getting respect anyway, so why not embarrass yourself in front of Congress. Hell, the House and Senate, on the same day: why not?" 

From The New Democrat

And as Kire also wrote about Secretary Noem last month: 

"As far as Kristi Noem, she plays the bimbo so well on TV, she really needs her own Hollywood produced, "reality TV" show. And maybe I'm looking too far into this, but before Donald Trump ran again for President starting 2 years ago, she didn't play the bimbo on TV. 

Pre-MAGA, Kristi Noem, was a 4 term U.S. Representative from South Dakota, she served as Governor of that state, she's an Air Force officer and veteran. She was a mainstream, center-right, business and national security oriented, Republican. More of Ronald Reagan Republican, than anything to do with Pat Buchanan or Donald Trump. 

So when I say "Kristi Noem plays the bimbo on TV", that's what I'm talking about. Her professional background indicates she's more than qualified to be Secretary of Homeland Security. But her "reality TV" career and her MAGA career from the last 2 years, where she went out-of-her-way, to not just show she loved Donald Trump, but that she didn't love him enough to be his Vice President, (and I' talking about her doggone dog story) shows she's just a MAGA, political, "reality TV" player, who is willing to play and look braindead on national TV, in order to appease Donald John Trump."

Farron Cousins: Fox Host Stuns Audience By Praising Donald Trump For Destroying The Economy

"Fox News host Jeanine Pirro left her own audience, and the rest of the country, stunned last week when she defended Donald Trump for tanking the economy. But it wasn’t just her praise of Trump’s idiotic moves that left people stunned – it was when she proudly proclaimed that she “doesn’t care” about her 401k. Nobody cares about Pirro’s 401k, but they care about their own and the people close to them. Working class people are losing everything while millionaires like Pirro say it doesn’t matter, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains."

From The Ring of Fire

And from The Huffington Post: 

"Fox News host Jeanine Pirro made the stunning declaration on Thursday that she wasn’t concerned about her retirement savings after President Donald Trump stoked market chaos with new tariffs.

It was all part of a long-winded endorsement of Trump’s trade-war baiting.

“This is what Donald Trump ran on and he’s delivering,” she said on “The Five.” “And you know what? I don’t really care about my 401(k) today. You know why? Not that I can afford it, not that it isn’t important, not that I’m not at a point in my life when I should be worried about my 401(k) because I am, but this is what I believe.”

“I believe in this man,” she continued. “... It’s about time we recognized we’ve got to have manufacturing in this country, and we need to bring them [countries] to the table, and Donald Trump is the only one who can do it because he’s got the biggest consumer base in the world. He’s not afraid of anybody. ”

“In the end, it’s going to help the working class,” she added. “And who’s complaining? My last point, who’s complaining? Wall Street. Too bad. He’s helping the middle class. And finally, I think it’s going to be over this summer...

From The Huffington Post

And from The New Democrat on Saturday: This witch (to be kind) doesn't need her 401K. Most Americans aren't millionaires.

From The New Democrat

So I think these are the 2 key points from Jeanine Pirro: 

“This is what Donald Trump ran on and he’s delivering,” she said on “The Five.” “And you know what? I don’t really care about my 401(k) today. You know why? Not that I can afford it, not that it isn’t important, not that I’m not at a point in my life when I should be worried about my 401(k) because I am, but this is what I believe.”

“I believe in this man,” she continued. “... It’s about time we recognized we’ve got to have manufacturing in this country, and we need to bring them [countries] to the table, and Donald Trump is the only one who can do it because he’s got the biggest consumer base in the world. He’s not afraid of anybody." 

So if there's any more doubt for why Democrats and even some Republicans call MAGA a cult: "“I believe in this man,” 

Is the key point here, on top of her statements that she doesn't care about her own 401K. 

When you are a member of a cult, whatever title you have for your leader, you are 100% devoted to that person because you see that person as essentially the God who has all the answers, even if the reasoning for what they do doesn't make sense. Or in Donald Trump's case: it almost never makes sense, but only because reason with Donald Trump, would be like a hair cut for a bald man: they don't go together. Except when he's just looking out for himself. 

I'm going to give you a little of Jeanine Pirro's professional background and let you make the call about whether she's qualified to be a national political or economics analyst for the most popular "news network" in America. Or, perhaps better qualified to being a New York area legal analyst instead, talking about New York City and State law, or perhaps just being an analyst when it comes to New York City reality TV... especially as it relates Donald J. Trump:

"Pirro was elected as a judge of the Westchester County (N.Y.) Court in 1990. In 1993, she was elected to the position of Westchester County district attorney. She is the first woman to be elected to either of those positions. As district attorney, Pirro gained visibility in cases of domestic abuse and crimes against the elderly. Pirro was re-elected district attorney in 1997 and 2001. Pirro briefly sought the Republican nomination for United States Senate to run against Hillary Clinton in 2006, but dropped out to accept the nomination for New York Attorney General; she lost the general election to Democrat Andrew Cuomo.

From 2008 to 2011, Pirro hosted a weekday television show entitled Judge Jeanine Pirro on The CW. From 2011 to 2022, she hosted Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News Channel. Pirro has authored six books, including Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy (2018). Following the 2020 presidential election, Pirro made false claims of voting machine fraud. In 2022, Pirro became a co-host of The Five. She has been a frequent contributor to NBC News, including regular appearances on The Today Show...

From Wikipedia

As The New Democrat covered 2 weeks ago when it was talking about Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent: 

"I'm willing to cut Donald Trump's government officials some slack, in this sense: most of them weren't even politicians, or appointed officials before they got their current government jobs. Most of them are oligarchs or very hyper-partisan political activists and commentators from MAGA Land, with very little if any government experience before becoming secretary of this, that, or the other thing. 

And because of the business and political backgrounds that these Trump officials have, that makes them very out-of-touch with even everyday MAGA voters who are paying President Trump's higher prices today, because of his tariffs and the retaliatory tariffs that these countries like in Europe are placing director on Donald Trump's own voters: people who live in small towns and rural communities, who can't afford to pay higher prices on their basic necessities of life. 

I mean this would explain how a man who is worth 500 billion-dollars would make the statement: “Access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American dream,”. Because higher prices on basic necessities doesn't affect him... 

From The New Democrat

That's the main problem here. As much as Fox News or any other Trump news organization wants to advertise itself as the voice of the "real Americans", the "common man", etc... that's not who they are. When you are talking about Trump defenders, you are talking about people who are very well-educated, even intelligent, who make a helluva lot of money, who if anything look down at common people in America as easy marks who can be duped and see these folks as losers... at least privately. 

And every now and then when the political news for Donald Trump is bad, (like now as it relates to the economy) they run out of propaganda. All their cattle has died and there's just no more bullshit (to be frank) left for them on their farms. And they get caught being honest on live, national TV. Which is what happened to Jeanine Pirro last week.
