The ICE Barbie and Weird Stephen - Homeland Security

Trump’s Admin – Domestic Security – Part Two

Date recorded: Jan 8, 2026

Description:

No stranger to politics or unethical behavior, does Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, have the integrity needed to guard Americans’ freedoms above the implementation of a surveillance and police state? Or is she just a figure head with bigger ambitions? Not to be outdone, will Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller outpace Noem in pushing for a police state? Well, he did say he was “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus. Wouldn’t that affect every American too? Tune into Terra and Peter’s lively discussion where they answer these questions and much more!
