get what the media says, I give a rip about that. I get what they say about on social media, I don't read it. I just assume everybody loves me. My wife goes, bless your heart. Yeah, that's her being very honest and very appropriate with the particular connotation of that term. [00:00:18] Yeah, I don't listen to criticism. I don't learn from my critics. I don't read social media. I can't read anything actually. None of this is positive. And he should probably, at least in the near future, continue to avoid social media because new reporting on the petty [00:00:34] little familial corruption at the DHS Center, Mark Whalen Mullin, is probably not going to result in lot of great social media comments about him. So what he appears to be trying to do is get his wife a job. Again, DEI is bad and needs to be rooted out. But there's definitely [00:00:50] gonna be DEI for if you're getting humped by a conservative or whatever. For some reason, you are entitled to taxpayer dollars if you're doing that. So what he's trying to do is use the same little scheme that Kristi Noem used to get her boo, Corey Lewandowski, a job. So [00:01:07] the special government employee, which comes with a couple of different perks. They're pretty nice. I'm to give you the rundown. So recent reporting from the Daily Mail states that Mullen has been floating the idea of special government employee for his wife, which would allow her to fly free with him in federal flights on the regular. For some reason, she needs to have [00:01:27] that access. And she could make over $130,000 per year. $130,000 when he's not even apparently saying like, here's a specific job I want her to do that she's qualified and trained to do. [00:01:46] Just I have the job, give her some money. And not just a little money, a lot of money. If you're listening to this right now, how'd you like $130,000 salary? And they wanna potentially give it to this woman who just happens to be married to Markwayne Mullen, and that's it. [00:02:06] And here's the fascinating thing. So he wants her to have access to fly for free or whatever, which is strange because Markwayne Mullin is making use of those expensive ass jets that Kristi Noem was using. So I don't even know why she would need that. He's already routinely [00:02:24] using a private jet. Let's jump into that, okay? So uh he was initially, by the way, opposed to the idea of those jets. Under Noem, he was a critic of it. He was one of the people complaining when she ordered the new planes. the DHS needed for Nome so she could go film like, I don't [00:02:42] know, her music videos or whatever. But they bought all the planes that Nome recommended, no complaints all of a sudden. Now, when it's him and his wife that get to use it, it's not a big issue anymore. Reminds me a little bit of Cash Patel who did the exact goddamn thing. Who said, no, the head of the FBI shouldn't be using these private jets. And then as soon [00:03:00] as he becomes one, he's flying off to hockey games and stuff. ah And so look, I don't know if Mark Wayne Mullen is using it as a bang jet. I don't know if it's exactly the Christy Noem thing, but it's in that vein, by the way. And so anyway, according to his logs, he's using [00:03:15] a G700 to fly back to his ranch in Oklahoma from Thursday to Monday, running the department from an arm's length. In addition to retaining the jet, DHS has purchased another G700, as well as seven other planes for both private travel. and deportation flights. Remember when [00:03:34] they tried to pretend that the bang jet was for deportations? I guess they choose the one nicest migrant who gets to sleep in that big bed that Corey Lewandowski and Noma defiled. Anyway, I never bought that. So ah why does he need to go back to his ranch every single week? Does he have work to do? Are you allowed to do that? Are you required to be at your [00:03:55] desk when they say to be at your desk? By the way, it's not like he has some minor tiddly wink job. He's the Secretary of Homeland God damn Security. And he's like, I don't want to stay in DC all week. I want to be with my cows. Then go be with your god. You can do [00:04:16] whatever you want with your cows behind closed doors. I want you to be in DC doing the job that you were for some reason that nobody can explain chosen to do. And so anyway, he's been going, he just leaves. Maybe we can reach him, maybe not, maybe he's drunk, maybe not. And [00:04:33] the DHS, the Daily Mail, their source said of his absence, silence from Mullen, it's been that way for a couple months now, and we don't know why. He leaves on Thursday a lot at 11 in the morning and doesn't fly back until Monday afternoon. He's barely in the building. That [00:04:49] is not a weekend, okay? That's leaving Thursday morning, okay, to fly west by the way. So he's got his full Thursday ahead of him. Then he skips Friday. He doesn't even return for Monday. And I understand that Mondays are the saddest day. But what is he, so he works Tuesday and [00:05:08] Wednesday is what you're telling me? And he thinks that, I'm doing such a great job. Why shouldn't my wife get some money? And he can't fly commercial for this. He has to have his own private jet. Jesus, like I honestly, I didn't think that Noam could come off looking restrained [00:05:25] in her corruption, but I'm kind of starting to see it here. Anyway, so what is he doing with his time? So let's see, he's recently said that hunger strikers and ICE, it isn't a holiday inn. He calls protesters against all this fake. He says the Democratic senator [00:05:43] deserves to get pepper sprayed. So yeah, don't know what we're paying him for any of this. Here's what the White House had to say. They dispute his alleged half week saying that he's very engaged on a daily basis, but they make no mention of the reporting on his attempts to hire his wife. Okay, well, this is relatively easy then. If he's not in Oklahoma on all those [00:06:03] days, then he's in DC, right? Then let's start seeing him in DC, Thursday afternoon, Friday noonish or whatever, Monday morning. I mean, if he's not doing the half days, then he's there, right? The bigger issue, of course, is that the White House obviously doesn't care. [00:06:24] They don't think that the government has an obligation to actually work. They don't care about, I don't know, the ethical obligation that the head of the DHS has to make sure that the homeland is secured. So this is gonna have ripple effects. There's gonna be disasters. Things are gonna slip between the cracks because our leadership is neither qualified nor in [00:06:42] the building. And then when things go badly, what do they say? Look, see, we told you the government couldn't work. Elect us for some reason to continue that grand tradition. I hate it and I hate the corruption even more.
