Hello, and welcome to the Daily Beans for a Monday, April 6th, 2026.

Today, Donald Trump calls for war crimes in a profanity laden Easter Sunday threat to

Iran saying, open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards.

The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General has launched an investigation into

Corey Lewandowski's bribe scheme.

Trump's new budget proposal includes privatizing the TSA, the Iranian strike on the US Embassy

in Saudi Arabia caused more damage than previously reported.

The Department of Homeland Security pauses plans to buy warehouses to convert to concentration

camps.

These plans were shot down over around this past weekend.

And a Tennessee library director was fired for refusing to move LGBTQ plus kids books

to the adult section.

I'm Allison Gill.

And I'm Dana Goldberg.

Well, hello, Dana.

Happy Monday.

Happy Monday.

And I just want to say by the time you hear this, the national championship will be over

for the women.

I don't know who won between UCLA and on South Carolina.

Go Don Staley.

Geno is a man, baby.

Like that whole thing, if you watch basketball and you watch the game, the unsportsmanship

of the end of that game because he was getting his ass whooped and hadn't lost all season

in just a horrible, a horrible show of sportsmanship.

So Don Staley handled it like a fucking pro and she's a class act and I'm so proud to

be a fan.

That's all I have to say.

Always loved Don Staley.

Yeah, basically Geno refused to shake her hand at the end of the of the game.

Yeah, because she didn't shake his at the beginning, which isn't true.

He just didn't shake her.

Yeah, I know.

She didn't shake his hand when he thought she should have done it again.

And by the way, that would have never happened if they were winning.

It would have never happened.

He would have never brought it up if you con had won that game.

He was pissed off.

His team was getting beat and just I feel so bad for the players on both teams because

it took so much attention in the national news away from South Carolina, breaking Yukon's

undefeated record.

And listen, Yukon's fantastic.

They've been a powerhouse at Dynasty for a very long time.

But I have feelings about Geno that I've always had and I'm just really proud of Don.

That's all I have to say.

Not a sports podcast.

Just get it off the chest.

Yes, but speaking of on sportsman like Conduct, did you see Trump's Easter Sunday

war crimes threat post?

There's no fucking way he wrote that speaking of fucking like, I mean, there's no way he

wrote that.

But if he did, he's way more gone than we thought he was.

Just read this.

Read it.

Yeah, it says here's what he put on true social Tuesday.

By the way, Monday was his original deadline.

So he's talk going on the deadline again.

Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in a round.

There will be nothing like it exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.

On the fucking straight, you crazy bastards or you'll be living in hell.

Just watch.

Praise be to Allah.

That's that part right there is like what is happening?

Because if he did write it, I'm talking to mention Don is that the wheel of that fucking

train wreck.

I'm just I'm shocked and I'm shocked more people on the Republican side are not not shocked.

I'm surprised on this one that more people aren't like, hey, maybe that shouldn't be

the way the president speaks.

I don't know.

Yeah.

And the sane washing in the corporate media is just bananas and we're going to go over all

the examples of where the New York Times pulled out the fucking crazy bastards all apart

and left the rest and like we're going to go over every single instant.

No, not every single a handful.

We don't have that much time on the beans talk podcast, but we'll show you those sane

washing headlines.

All right.

We have a lot of news to get to.

Let's hit the hot notes.

Hot notes.

All right, first up from the times an expansive inquiry by the Department of Homeland Security

is Inspector General into the handling of contracts under the agency's former secretary

Kristi Nome is scrutinizing her senior advisor, Corey Lewandowski's interactions with companies

seeking federal business.

And that's according to multiple people familiar with the investigation.

This inquiry comes as administration officials have fielded complaints from companies about

their dealings with Lewandowski according to two people.

And they and others familiar with the inquiry, by the way, spoke on a condition of anonymity.

Among the companies that complained is Palantir.

The data analysis and technology firm whose services had been used broadly by Homeland

Security, including for a new program to help track individuals for deportation.

The focus of the investigation by the Inspector General Joseph Kufari, who was nominated

to his post by Trump in his first term and by the way, I'm throwing this in here just

as an extra one of only two Inspector General Trump did not fire.

And wow.

This is the guy who covered up the deletion of the secret service texts on January 6th.

That guy.

Got it.

That guy.

This reflects the widening fallout from Nome's rocky tenure.

That's putting it mildly.

Mr. Trump abruptly fired her last month amid criticisms of an expensive advertising campaign

that prominently featured her.

The inquiry deepens the questions about the latitude she granted to Lewandowski, a special

adviser who was not an official government employee and was supposed to serve in a limited

capacity.

Trump has grown increasingly frustrated by this attention that Nome and Lewandowski have

drawn, according to people familiar.

The president's anger grew when photos were released last week showing Lewandowski accompanying

Nome at a diplomatic meeting with leaders from Guiana.

And on Wednesday, incoming DHS Secretary Mark Queen reversed a policy instituted by Nome

that requires every contract over $100,000 to be personally reviewed by her.

And that's what the agency said to the New York Times.

And you know, I got to tell you, the time saying here that Trump has grown frustrated by

the attention that Nome and Lewandowski have drawn, I don't think that's it.

See, Lewandowski set up multiple consulting firms and said, if you want to keep your contract

or get a new contract, you're going to have to also hire this consulting firm and give

them an extra $40 or $50 million, which is basically Lewandowski.

I think what Trump's pissed about is that Lewandowski was getting kickbacks and Trump wasn't

cut in.

That's probably what it is.

That's what I think this is.

And like I said, Kufari is one of Trump's darlings.

So if Kufari is investigating Lewandowski, that means Trump is pissed at Lewandowski.

This isn't some awesome independent investigation.

This is Trump being mad at Lewandowski and getting his favorite, you know, one of two

inspectors general.

He didn't fire to investigate him.

The other one was Michael Horowitz, the former DOJ inspector general.

Yeah.

So he also got to keep his job.

Anyway, I'm glad he's under investigation and that he'll be held accountable, but he's

being held accountable for the wrong reasons.

I agree.

I agree.

This next story is from Bloomberg, the Trump administration's fiscal 2027 budget request

proposes initial steps to what privatized TSA.

What?

Who's been saying that?

We have, and I believe Project 2025, Chapter five, fucking wrote it out for everyone.

And everyone's like, what?

The proposal includes a $52 million reduction for TSA tied to requiring smaller airports

to enroll in the screening partnership program.

That's an existing system under which private contractors paid by TSA handle passenger

screening.

Private contractors.

That sounds wonderful.

The administration said airports already using the program have demonstrated cost savings

compared with federal screening operations.

Again, this is from the administration.

Don't believe the numbers.

They do not.

This is what they did to the VA by expanding that's being able to see private doctors.

They charge a lot more and it's a lot shittier.

Yeah.

The budget requests with signals, the administration's priorities for the coming year would accelerate

a year's long push among some Republicans to reduce TSA's federal footprint and rely more

heavily on private operations, the model the White House and supporters argue improves

efficiency.

Again, don't believe what you read.

Beyond TSA, the budget requests proposes scaling back the cyber security and infrastructure

security agency by $707 million compared to its last funding level by cutting programs

focused on combating misinformation.

Conservatives have panned that work as censorship.

Now the plan also calls for consolidating several headquarters, the functions into one

office.

These include DHS's intelligence arm as well as the secretary's office, the department's

management, directorate and a situational awareness office for a cost savings of $53 million

that's according to the request.

The budget would also end or reduce some federal emergency management agency grant funding,

including programs such as targeted violence and terrorism prevention, I don't know that

seems important, while I'm flying, part of what the administration describes as efforts

to eliminate wasteful spending.

At the same time, the proposal maintains investments in immigration enforcement and border

security.

This is what consistent with President Trump's hard line agenda.

The budget also calls for steep cuts to funding for education, housing and health.

All of these things are connected.

Marrying the lead there, so cutting out Medicaid, Medicare, HUD, education, all to pay for

the immigration deportation and probably more tax cuts for billionaires.

Cool.

Cool, cool.

Next up from the Wall Street Journal, an Iranian drone attack last month on the embassy

in Saudi Arabia did more extensive damage than previously disclosed, according to current

and former American officials, showing Iran's ability to hit Washington assets in the

kingdom.

The attack happened March 3 when an Iranian drone evaded the air defenses that guarded

Riyadh's gated diplomatic quarter and slammed into an American compound.

A minute later, a second drone flew into the hole made by the first one and also exploded.

These nighttime strikes penetrated a secure part of the embassy where several hundred people

would have been working in the day and heavily damaged three floors, current and former

officials said.

The CIA station was among the areas hit.

Now, while the Saudi defense ministry then said the attack had resulted in limited fire

and minor damage, current and former officials said it was way worse, sparking a blaze that

raged for half a day.

Parts of the embassy were damaged and not recoverable.

So way worse than previously thought.

And we haven't heard much from St. Comm either.

They're definitely downplaying the amount of damage that Iran is doing.

This is from News Channel 5, Iran shooting down two American military jets.

It works an exceedingly rare assault for the U.S. that has not happened in more than

20 years and shows the Islamic Republic's continued ability to hit back despite Trump asserting

that it's been completely decimated.

So Iran shot down a U.S. F-15E strike Eagle Fighter jet on Friday.

Both service members have been rescued one early on and then another through a special operations

thing that had to happen in the first place.

Iranian state media also said a U.S.A. 10 attack aircraft, that's a war hog crashed after

being hit by Iranian defense forces.

That was during the search or rescue.

Now the last time a U.S. warplane was shot down by enemy fire in combat was an A-10 Thunder

Bolt II during the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.

That's retired Air Force Brigadier General Houston can't well, a former F-16 fighter pilot.

That's what he said.

And from CNN, roughly half of Iran's missile launchers are still intact, half, thousands

of one-way attack drones remain in Iran's arsenal.

Despite the daily pounding by U.S. and Israeli strikes against military targets over the past

five weeks, that's according to recent U.S. intelligence assessments.

So some people might be fired soon.

The U.S. intelligence assessment total might include launchers that are inaccessible,

like those that are buried underground by strikes, but haven't been destroyed.

Thousands of Iranian drones still exist, roughly half of the country's drone capabilities

according to two sources.

The intelligence compiled in recent days also shows a large percentage of Iran's coastal

defense cruise missiles are intact, that consistent with the U.S. not focusing its

air campaign on coastal military assets, though they have been hitting ships.

Those missiles serve as a key capability that allows Iran to threaten shipping traffic

and destroy the Hormuz.

So they're leaving all the ones on shore in the state of Hormuz.

So just, I mean, I don't think we're getting accurate information out of this administration.

No, of course not.

We're switching gears a little bit.

This one's from the post.

The top librarian in Rutherford County, Tennessee, has been fired this week for refusing to

move over 130 books with LGBTQ plus themes to the systems adult section, capping months

of tumult that made the suburban county the latest front line in a national debate over

access to books about queer and transgender people.

The county board, near Nashville, voted eight to three to fire library director Luan

James in a spirited meeting Monday in which supporters and detractors of James spoke on

her stance to applause and cheers.

And they quote, all I'm going to say is that I stand by my decision.

This is what James said at the board meeting before she got fired.

She said, I will not change my mind.

Much of the audience of the board meeting broken to cheers and applause after her statement,

chance of shame, or heard as board members voted to fire her.

The books flagged by the library board included children's comics with transgender characters

and books about trans activists according to a list obtained by the Washington Post.

Books were also flagged for containing partially unclothed people, female empowerment discussions,

social justice concepts, and a gay couple among other topics.

Books moved to the adult section of the Rutherford County library system are inaccessible

to children under 18 without their parents written permission.

This is according to Silvas.

Now battles over access to children's books with LGBTQ plus themes.

They played out through library boards across the country as the Trump administration pushes

a rollback of trans rights and his fan conservative opposition to some books.

A North Carolina County dissolved its library board entirely in December after the board

voted to keep a picture book about a transgender boy in the children's section.

In May, five Michigan librarians, they quit after dispute with their conservative library

board.

The debate flared in Tennessee in September when Secretary of State Trey Hargett sent

a letter to state library directors ordering them to comply with Trump's January executive

order barring federal funds from being used to promote and I quote, gender ideology,

fucking define it.

A month later, Hargett ordered some libraries to review their children's books for age

appropriateness.

In December, James invoked whistleblower protections and alleged that York, the board chair, had directed

her to remove certain books and disclosed the information of library users according to

a board meeting.

Yep.

York, by the way, denied these allegations.

The run for county library board voted in late March to relocate a list of flag books,

including books with LGBTQ plus themes from children's and teen sections to adult section

following a content review, this according to news site and the advocate.

York said all the items that would be reclassified and I quote, promoted gender confusion.

And would be dangerous for children according to board meeting, recording.

James refused to carry out the move and wrote in an email to the board that its decision

was a violation of the First Amendment and a clear act of viewpoint discrimination according

to the advocate, rather for county residents who'd been following the standoff gathered

for a charged library board meeting on Monday ahead of a vote on James termination.

The majority of the speakers who gave public comment during the hour long meeting, they

spoke in support of James, arguing that the board's decision to reclassify LGBTQ plus

themed books was discriminatory and called James an example of courage and integrity.

Sylvaz of the rather for county library alliance said James was overwhelmed, but grateful

for the support she received.

And I quote, her words to the public are, think your librarians, get your library card,

go to the library.

Sylvaz said and went on to say, and her words for other librarians are, be strong, you're

not alone.

I just, I mean, these are books for children, yeah, and they want to move them to the adult

section.

Yeah, this is why it was so important that we gutted all the moms of liberty from school

boards and she's exactly, and this is why your local elections are so important.

All right.

Thanks for that story.

CBS Apple shareholders on Tuesday rejected a proposal to end the diversity equity and

inclusion program at Apple, the National Center for Public Policy Research, which is

a conservative tank.

I'm going to leave the word think out of it.

Yeah.

Had called on Apple to follow other major companies and backing off from DEI in responding

to the anti DEI proposal, Apple defended its diversity program as an integral part of

its corporate culture, crediting the policies in part for making the technology giant the

most valuable company in the world.

Yeah.

Quote, we've never had quotas or targets for Apple.

Our strength has always come from hiring the very best people and then providing a culture

of collaboration.

That's Tim Cook, Tim Apple, the CEO during a question and answer period at the meeting.

While conceding the company may need to revise aspects of its diversity policies as the

legal landscape evolves.

Yeah, don't do that.

Tim.

Yeah.

This one's from NBC.

Don't do that.

Tim.

NBC, the Department of Homeland Security is pausing plans to buy more warehouses to

detain immigrants.

This is according to two senior DHS officials who stress the decision may only be temporary.

The two officials said that while purchasing as unhauled, plans are moving forward to develop

facilities that have already been acquired for that purpose.

It's not clear yet whether incoming Homeland Security Secretary Marquain Mullin will change

the direction of immigration enforcement and detention.

Under known US immigration and customs enforcement brought up mega warehouses around the country

that could house up to 8,000 immigrants per facility.

And by the way, they bought them up at twice the amount of their value.

This whole thing was a fucking, I mean, just a scheme these people are making money

hand and fist from the federal government, which is really weird.

But local leaders and members of Congress and some of the districts where the detention

centers were planned, they pushed back Maryland sued successfully to stop ice from developing

a warehouse near Hagerstown, Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican in Mississippi, criticized

the DHS's plans to turn a warehouse in Bihalia, Mississippi into an ice detention center.

He said, I'm all for immigration enforcement, but this site was meant for economic development

and job creation.

We cannot suddenly flood Bihalia with an influx of up to 10,000 detainees.

That's what Wicker said in February 4th, post on Twitter before Nome scrapped the plans

entirely.

Yeah.

So DHS has paused its concentration camp warehouse purchasing program for the time being.

That's incredible.

And I really want to credit groups like Project Salt Box who go in there and make it almost

impossible for DHS to buy these warehouses.

Yeah.

All right, everybody.

We've got good news to get to, but we have to take a quick break.

Stick around.

We'll be right back.

Hey, everybody, I like clothes.

I like feeling put together what I do not like is spending hours trying to figure out

First up is your good trouble.

New good trouble today is a fundraiser for the fire Tennessee librarian we spoke about

earlier.

This fundraiser so far has raised $100,000 and this is from the Tennessean.

Supporters have donated more than $100,000 after a Tennessee library director was fired

for refusing to relocate books from the kids section to the adult section.

A directive first amendment advocates have condemned.

New and James was fired March 30th as director of Rutherford County Libraries after refusing

the library board's March 16th directive to move 132 LGBTQ plus themed books selected

by board chair Cody York and board member Beth Duffield.

There is a link in the show notes to this article from the Tennessean where you can read

more about the situation and the article links to the fundraising in this case and you

can help.

That's your good trouble today.

Thanks so much.

I got another one.

You got good trouble number two.

This is time sensitive.

Secretary of the interiors poses to revoke the withdrawal of approximately 336,000 plus

acres of public lands located within a radius of approximately 10 miles surrounding Chaco

Cultural National Historical Park in San Juan County.

This is in northwestern New Mexico.

I have been there.

It is stunning.

Now public land ordered.

This is PLO number seven nine two three established a withdrawal in 2023, which withdrew

these public lands from location and entry under the United States mining laws and from

leasing under the mineral leasing laws subject to valid existing rights for a 20-year term.

Revocation of the PLO number seven nine two three withdrawal would restore discretion over

mineral leasing to the Bureau of Land Management and would reopen that public land to location

and entry under the United States mining laws.

The comment period ends Tuesday, April 7th.

We have just a couple days for this.

There's going to be a link in the show notes to an article where you can learn more and

a link to make public comment.

We're going to both of these in the show notes for you.

Again, this is Chaco Canyon in New Mexico and it is a gorgeous place that needs to be protected.

Yeah.

Trump wants to drill for oil and strip mine.

So yeah, make those public comments.

Thanks for that, Dana.

First good news from L, pronoun she heard they've been late submitting, but I made this

sign last minute for the Marching Memphis.

Great crowd joyfully marching down Beale Street.

Look at this draft barren with a crown with a circle and a line through it.

That's a really good sign.

It's very nice.

Very cool.

And from Andy, pronouns he and him, first after a year of the news making me incredibly

sad and depressed, I've made you my only news source.

I like that you feature when we actually fight back and win and the good news really

uplifts me each morning.

Thanks Andy.

My good news is recognizing some great people in our community.

I volunteer with shift community cycles in Eugene, Oregon and they're free bikes for

kids program.

Our executive director, the staff and dozens of volunteers provide free bikes, bike maintenance

training, free programs like kids bike, summer camp and support to the underprivileged

unhoused and LGBTQ plus members of our county.

We donated 650 bicycles to the community last year, giving people a way to get to work

or for fun and fulfillment for a child whose family can't afford a bike.

Being around the team there makes me so inspired and happy.

I'm sharing some of the great signs my daughter created for the recent rallies.

My daughter has fun with them while you can see my wife doesn't beat around the bush

with her message.

For my pot pet tariff, if you're getting two of our dogs, we actually have five now.

We took on two more when my wife's father passed away last year.

These two here are the crazy ones.

Indigo will be easy to identify while you'll never guess what Franklin is made of.

Thanks for all the love and hope you bring into the world.

All right.

So there's the Trump rapes kids.

I don't know.

Yep.

I don't know.

That one's not fucking around.

The only orange muppet I trust about science and it's beaker.

Supreme court can suck my supreme dick.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Who is this?

Andy.

I like it.

Your family makes me happy.

What do we have here?

Look at these two sweeties.

Like I could see the Australian cattle dog for sure.

What is the other one?

I don't know.

Is that a docks tail?

Listen, is it a boxer boxer, boxer, boxer, pitty, chao chao?

Sure.

I don't know.

Let's see.

Border collie, Chihuahua, pitful, supermute.

We got pitful.

There's got to be boxer in there too.

In the supermute part is mostly boxer.

100%.

100%.

Yep.

All right.

This is from Liz from now on.

She and her greetings and salutations.

Since the kitchen table days, you're sign off.

Take care of each other.

Take care of the planet.

Take care of your mental health.

It was so important for me in advocating for mental health care back in the early days

of the pandemic.

Thank you.

From the bottom of my healing heart, I have a sign off idea for beans talk.

I've been AG and we will see you up the beans stock.

There you go.

It's fucking cheesy, which seems to fit.

Oh, thanks, Liz.

I know.

I guess we have a cheesy podcast.

I'm applying to grad school.

I want to get my masters and social work and help raise awareness and change the conversation

around OCD and self-isolation, which has been a major barrier for me and a lot of folks

in my life, pod pet tax, snoopy and zero.

The best is buttolls.

I was blown away at zero's mix normally and really good at what the month.

I got one breed right.

Thank you.

Keep it up for the love of the universe, be kind to yourselves and rest every now and

again.

I don't know which is which here.

Are they the same?

So cattle dog, right?

Maybe for sure.

Husky, lab, lab, pit bull, why not?

Some kind of Chihuahua, how and dog I've never heard of, probably.

Probably a boxer in there.

Let's see.

Let's see what we got.

Peeranese cattle dog.

Snoopy is a great peeranese cattle dog.

Zero is cattle dog.

These cattle dog, wartikali, husky, chow, boxer, peeranese, midgeuranger, all right.

We got a few.

We weren't too far off.

We got the cattle dog, cattle dog.

There you go.

We got the husky.

And did we say chow?

Sure.

I can't.

I don't think we did this time.

No, well, you know what we totally did.

They're beautiful dogs.

Roll the tape.

Roll the tape.

I feel like Jamie Raskin is questioning me in Congress.

Should we play back your tape?

No, it's cool.

Next up from Hello Lagumic Royalty.

It's Ms. Kitty.

She, her from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I recently joined the Patreon after listening to the pod for the last two or three years.

Shame on me.

No, no, no, shame.

Ann Arbor turned out 7 to 8,000 people for No Kings 3, and I saw many great signs.

But this one takes the cake.

Me and my mostly over 60 friends have been to Hands-Off and all three No Kings.

And so encouraged to see everyone fighting back against the orange circus peanut love

y'all.

Let's see.

I think it's Keith Richards there and it says, what kind of world are we leaving behind

for Keith Richards?

Oh my god, that's funny.

That is hilarious.

Oh, you're right.

That is such a good sign, Ms. Kitty.

Oh my gosh.

Thank you, everybody.

I really needed that today, and we all needed it today.

Yeah, some good laps for Monday morning to kick us off for the week.

Thank you so much.

Do you got anything coming up, Dana?

Um, do I have anything coming up?

No, I actually, I've got a gig on the 14th, but until then, I am just getting ready to celebrate

my last week of my 40s.

That's right.

That's right.

Oh, no.

My mom asked me how I feel.

And I'm like, I have mixed motions about this.

Mixed motions.

Oh my goodness.

I personally loved the 50s, though I think my 40s were my favorite, but you just said

you loved the 50s.

Like you were out of them.

You're not 60, Allison.

No, my 50s.

Not the 50s.

Even your 50s aren't over.

That's her point.

No, they're just beginning.

There's plenty of time left for them to outshine the 40s.

It's early still.

It's early.

I'm actually looking forward to this decade.

If I'm honest, I think there's a lot of big things about to happen that I've been building

on for years.

So, you know, we're stepping into our own, but yeah, it's sort of wild.

It's a big number.

It is.

It is a big number.

But it's going to be amazing.

And I look forward to welcoming you into the 1950s.

No, I'm just kidding.

The 50s.

Anyway, thanks also much for listening.

We'll be back in your ears tomorrow.

Until then, please take care of yourselves.

Take care of each other.

Take care of the planet.

Take care of your mental health and take care of your family.

I've been AG.

I've been DG.
