Today's Headlines: The Iran war's bill just got a lot bigger — the Pentagon is asking Congress for $200 billion, on top of the $12 billion already spent, while Trump insists he's "not putting troops anywhere" in a statement that inspired exactly zero confidence. Israel struck the South Pars Gas Field — the largest natural gas field in the world, shared by Iran and Qatar — damaging Qatari energy infrastructure, hitting an American F-35, and triggering retaliatory Iranian strikes across the region. Trump posted that the U.S. "knew nothing" about the attack, Israel immediately said that wasn't true, then Trump said he'd actually warned them not to do it — so he did know — and then threatened to blow up the entire gas field himself if Iran touches Qatar. Oil and gas prices climbed further, the stock market dropped, and seven allies — the UK, Japan, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, and one more — announced they'd help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump accepted graciously by screaming in all caps that he doesn't need anyone's help. Also, Trump told Japan's prime minister "who knows better about surprise than Japan, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor" — an actual thing he said out loud. Elsewhere in global chaos: Hungary's Viktor Orban blocked a $100 billion EU loan to Ukraine, potentially threatening the country's ability to keep its government running. Canada announced it's building its own sovereign space program to reduce dependence on Starlink. Two Iranian citizens were charged in the UK with spying on Jewish institutions on behalf of Iranian intelligence. And in one of the most cold-blooded moves yet, the U.S. State Department is reportedly considering withholding HIV medication from 1.3 million people in Zambia as leverage to extract a minerals deal — because apparently that's a negotiating tactic now. Markwayne Mullin's DHS nomination cleared committee 8-7, with Rand Paul voting no and John Fetterman voting yes, because nothing means anything anymore. Full Senate vote is next, outcome predictable.

What happens when a politician with a record of confrontational behavior is put in charge of one of the most powerful domestic security agencies in the country? In this video, we break down the case against Markwayne Mullin leading the Department of Homeland Security—from his history of near-violent confrontations to his rhetoric around political conflict and immigration enforcement. This isn't about partisanship. It's about temperament, judgment, and the real-world consequences of leadership style—especially for immigrants and communities directly impacted by DHS policy.

(Courtesy Rep. Markwayne Mullin) The nomination of U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee/R-OK) to be the next Homeland Security secretary cleared a key committee vote after overcoming a cringeworthy confirmation hearing over his combative past comments. Correspondent Matt Laslo reports on the bipartisan relationships the enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation has built over his decade in Washington. Contrary to the tough guy you may have seen on your screen picking fights with union bosses or Senate committee chairs, Sen. Mullin has lots of fans in Congress. U.S. Sen.Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) serves with Mullin on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. “I may have some policy disagreements with Sen. Mullin. Mark's Mark. That's who he is, you know? So yeah, I don’t know that there’s anything out of sorts there. It’s just, that’s just who he is.” Luján says Mullin has been a key ally on the other side of the aisle in today's divided Washington. “Not just, you know, Democrat, Republican. He’s been a member that tribal leaders have sought out to support different efforts.” Mullin stepped into a 137-year long fight last year and played a pivotal role in helping North Carolina's Lumbee Tribe gain full federal recognition over protests from other tribes. U.S. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) told National Native News that Mullin was pivotal. “He thought that the opposition by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina was incorrect. And so as an enrolled Cherokee, he supported the Lumbees and it’s always appreciated.” U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk/D-KS) overlapped with Mullin in the U.S. House for her first two terms. Besides the two both being former MMA fighters, Rep. Davids says she and Mullin put partisan differences aside and worked together for Indian Country. “When he was in the House, we worked on quite a few tribal related things, including trying to stabilize Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). And then, also on foster programs and that kind of stuff. So we’ve been able to work together on issues that we both care about.” Masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents may garner the national headlines, but Davids says she is watching to see how Mullin handles the other parts of the sweeping Homeland Security agency that outgoing Secretary Kristi Noem neglected. “I’m hopeful that he will be much better in terms of leading the department. Of course there’s hot button issues, but when you think about FEMA and the importance of FEMA functioning, of our TSA folks …” The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is offering a career pathway for tribal students looking at wildland firefighting jobs. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. Highschoolers across six BIE-run schools are participating, including Northwest High School in Shiprock on the Navajo Nation. “This just happened to occur organically.” Carmelia Becenti (Diné) is BIE chief academic officer. She credits President Trump's executive order on “expanding educational freedom”. They are also pitching the curriculum to colleges. “We are trying to somewhat steer them towards being stewards of our lands. That doesn't always happen.” Garth Fisher is with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Division of Wildland Fire Management. He says they are teaching coursework about leadership, fire suppression, and FEMA readiness. Once done, students put their training to the test during a field day. “They get to put the gear on, how it feels. They get to look like a firefighter.” That equipment is expensive, says Becenti, which is why the BIE is buying it now. “And that way, year after year, as we recruit more students at these schools and across the bureau, you know, we have this PPE that we can use over and over and over.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Today's conversation with Washington Monthly's Bill Scher was as a wide-ranging, candid conversation dissecting 2026 political flashpoints under Trump's second term.We discussed:— Sen. Rand Paul's feud with Sen. Markwayne Mullin during Mullin's contentious DHS Secretary confirmation hearing (where Paul grilled him over temperament, past insults), Mullin's stubbornness, cross-aisle likability (including Sen. John Fetterman's Democratic vote advancing the nomination), and why Paul's opposition likely fails due to Senate deference norms and lack of broader strategy.— Joe Kent's explosive resignation as National Counterterrorism Center director (accusing Israel/AIPAC of manipulating Trump into war), his Tucker Carlson interview hinting at conspiracies (including linking Charlie Kirk's assassination to pro-war forces), anti-Semitic trope risks amplified by Marco Rubio/Bibi Netanyahu statements, and blowback dangers.— Tulsi Gabbard's hypocrisy: As DNI, she dodges Sen. John Ossoff's direct “yes/no” on Iran's imminent nuclear threat (deferring to Trump), contradicting her past “No War with Iran” brand and refusing to resign despite evidence the intel didn't support imminence.— Midterm outlook: Matt's bullish take on Democrats' Senate chances in 2026, with prediction markets teetering ~50% and conventional wisdom shifting.— NATO resistance: Bill's Washington Monthly piece arguing Democrats should defy any Trump unilateral withdrawal attempt, treating it as invalid precedent to preserve alliance ties post-Trump.— And MUCH more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

John talks about a New York Times investigation which revealed years of sexual abuse and grooming of female associates by the late, celebrated labor rights activist Cesar Chavez. Among those corroborating the report are activist Dolores Huerta, who detailed rape at the hands of Chavez in an open letter. Then, he discusses Markwayne Mullin's Senate confirmation hearing where colleagues really let him have it, challenging Mullin on his record, his temperament and the actions of the agency he hopes to manage. Also, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard took sharp jabs from lawmakers about the War In Iran as she testified during a House Select Intelligence Committee hearing. John then welcomes back Bob Cesca to talk about the War in the Middle East, the Epstein files, and of course Star Wars and Star Trek. Next, Dillon Naber Cruz and Desimber Rose show up for another installment of The God Squad. They talk sense about what the bible really says and what Christian Nationalists want us to believe. And wrapping it up, John interviews Annabelle Gurwitch. She's an actress, activist, and New York Times bestselling author of six books and a two-time Thurber Prize finalist. Her essays and satire have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post amongst other publications and she co-hosted the fan favorite Dinner & a Movie on TBS and was a regular commentator on NPR. After receiving an out-of-the blue diagnosis of Stage 4 lung cancer, an existential dread set in. Precision medicine offered a temporary reprieve—but instead of turning into a cancer warrior, Annabelle declared herself a cancer slacker. Her motto: no runs, no ribbons, and no religion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jen Psaki reports on the confirmation hearing for Donald Trump's pick to replace Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin. Mullin is already a dubious choice to lead DHS, but a long-running feud between Mullin and committee chair, Rand Paul added a whole new dimension to why he might not be a good choice. Jen Psaki reports on director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard's testimony at the Senate Intelligence Committee's worldwide threats hearing, Gabbard was careful not to say anything that would contradict statements made by Donald Trump on his war against Iran, even when directly confronted with her own statements, obvious facts, or the responsibilities of her job. Senator Mark Kelly discusses the stakes of Donald Trump staffing important national security positions with unqualified sycophants. "She's a liar!" Rep. Maxwell Frost talks with Jen Psaki about what happened behind closed doors at a House Oversight Committee meeting with Donald Trump's attorney general, Pam Bondi, about arranging a hearing, under oath, about the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein documents. Senator Mark Warner discusses his concerns about the safety of upcoming elections. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

The nomination of U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation/R-OK) to become the next Homeland Security Secretary hit a rough patch Wednesday. Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lost the faith of President Donald Trump, but the pick to replace her, Sen. Mullin, lost the faith of the Senate Homeland Security Committee Chair, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), for mocking him for being attacked by his neighbor nine years ago, as Matt Laslo reports. “You told the media that I was a ‘freaking snake' and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted. I was shocked that you would justify and celebrate this violent assault that caused me so much pain and my family so much pain. I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.” Mullin is a former MMA fighter and was not backing down. “I think before I can start my opening statement, I have to address the remarks of the chairman made calling me a liar. Sir, I think there’s — everybody in this room knows that I’m very blunt and direct to the point, and if I have something to say, I’ll say it directly to your face.” While the heated exchange made national headlines, most Republican senators, like U.S. Sen. Ted. Cruz (R-TX), shrugged it off. “The two of them don’t like each other. There’s no ambiguity on that.” U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said, “I’m not going to get involved in that.” U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) told National Native News cited his mother’s wisdom. “Reminded of what my mom would say, ‘if you don’t have something good to say about somebody, don’t say it.’ And, you know, those rules we learned in kindergarten still apply up here as well.” Even Mullin's home state colleague, U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), was taken aback by the barbs. “In my time in Congress, rarely have I seen such an intense exchange between two members of the same party, especially in the [U.S.] Senate. Clearly, both of them are very strong-willed, very confident in their point of view and perspective and their memory. It was just fascinating.” While most Republican senators are refusing to weigh in, Sen. Lucas says he is not discounting Chairman Paul or Mullin's accounts. “I know from having served with Markwayne in the House, I suspect the case in the [U.S.] Senate is the same — members have an insight into the nature of each other that no one on the outside can have. I never impugn the opinions of my colleagues, so maybe there was a little bit of truth in what they both had to say.” (Courtesy Asm. James Ramos / Facebook) Assemblymember James Ramos (Serrano/Cahuilla/D-CA) is urging for the establishment of California Native American Day as an official paid state holiday. A bill introduced by Asm. Ramos would designate the fourth Friday of September as a paid holiday for state employees. Ramos, along with tribal representatives, legislators, and labor leaders, held a press conference Wednesday in Sacramento., Calif. Ramos says the legislature and the state should honor California's First People with the paid holiday. “It’s true and just that this has to happen. It’s time that the voices continue to move forward and to make sure that we’re calling out for respect and honor for California’s First People and tribal elders.” Ramos say they have many worthy holidays, but the bill creates justice for past atrocities toward California Indian people who have lived through colonization, including the mission era and gold rush eras. Denver’s bison transfer included a ceremony with songs and prayers for the bisons’ safe return to tribal lands. (Photo: Rachel Cohen / KUNC) Several tribes are working to bring bison back to their lands. As the Mountain West News Bureau’s Rachel Cohen reports, one source helping them is in Denver, Colo. where the local government manages a herd. Snow was falling fast and hard at a mountain park west of the city earlier this month, when 34 bison were gifted to four tribes or nonprofits. Denver has managed two small herds since the early 1900s and started giving some animals to tribes six years ago. Lewis TallBull is with the TallBull Memorial Council, which has members from various tribes. Lewis TallBull with the TallBull Memorial Council was part of the drumming ceremony to honor the bison. (Photo: Rachel Cohen / KUNC) This year, the organization is taking one bison back to a property it manages near Denver. “The Bison represent so much. They represent the water and the fire and the thunder and the clouds and the snow. They represent all that. But at the same time, they represent us as Indigenous people.” Tribal leaders said the animals would add genetic diversity to their growing herds – and help feed tribal members with a historic food source. The Navajo Nation got 11 bison in the transfer and the Northern Cheyenne in Montana received 10. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs meets to consider the nomination of Markwayne Mullin to be Secretary of Homeland Security. The committee voted 8-7 to advance Mullin to the floor of the U.S. Senate. One Republican -- Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), the chair of the panel -- joined six Democrats in opposing the nomination. But one Democrat -- Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) -- joined seven Republicans in supporting Mullin. The vote cleared the nomination from the committee. Mullin is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. If confirmed by the full Senate, he would be the first Native person in President Donald Trump's cabinet and the first Native person to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

This week, the Senate will hold a confirmation hearing for Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin, President Donald Trump's pick to replace Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security Secretary. In some ways, he's not very different from his predecessor. Mullin also smeared Renee Good and Alex Pretti following their killings by federal immigration officials in Minnesota. He endorses the President's debunked theory that the 2020 election was stolen. And he threatened to fight the head of the Teamsters union back in 2023 during a Senate committee hearing over a Twitter spat. Burgess Everett, Congressional bureau chief at Semafor, joins the show to talk more about Senator Mullin, the DHS shutdown, and what else to watch for on the Hill this week.And in headlines, FBI Director Kash Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testify before Congress about global security threats, thousands of workers go on strike at a Colorado meatpacking plant, and Trump continues to insist the war with Iran will wrap up “soon.”Show Notes: Check out Burgess reporting – www.semafor.com/author/burgess-everett Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

VR25 - This episode is dedicated to the memory of Cricket, the 14-month-old wirehaired pointer murdered in cold blood by Kristi Noem on an unknown date in a gravel pit in South Dakota. One week after Donald Trump took now-former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's job out to the gravel pit, Thomas, Lydia, and Matt get together for a post-mortem. After a brief amuse douche from Noem's (ahem) closest advisor, Matt plays the one excerpt from her 2024 campaign book “Not Going Back” which should have disqualified her from a Cabinet seat. (No, not that one! But we also revisit that story too and it's so much worse--and involves twice as many animals--than you may remember.) We then review some of the most notable lowlights of Noem's time as DHS Secretary, from completely failing to understand the ancient legal concept which allowed federal judges to release so many of the people she was illegally detaining without bond to her disturbing enthusiasm for calling US citizens concerned about killer ICE agents “domestic terrorists.” Also: why exactly did Noem lose her job last week, and where did the $220 million of our money handed over to a shell company run by her former press secretary's husband go? Finally, we take a closer look at Trump's choice to replace Noem at DHS: an Oklahoma Senator with two first names and a temper even shorter than his MMA career.

They're working now on farms, in luncheonettes and hotels. We're just focused on getting the murderers out.” So much for mass deportations.Trump: We'll bring in any Iranian refugees that aid the U.S Military! Trump complained about the Afghan INVADERS and now is doing the same thing. This is how we got invaded with people from the Middle East.HOMELAND: Trump's new pick for Secretary of Homeland recently voted to ALLOW "Refugee" Welfare Programs to continue to be funded at Biden-era levels. Mullin also comforted & HUGGED the cop who shot Ashli Babbitt: "He was distraught. I gave him a hug & said 'you did what you had to do.'" He also claimed Republican Senators were too "emotional" over Jan 6 to confirm Trump's pick Ed Martin for DC Prosecutor.Rep. Brian Mast: “Let's talk about Rep. Mace's resolution. Victims deserve protection. Witnesses deserve confidentiality. I voted to ensure survivors aren't forced to deal with the fallout of the public release of their sensitive information. I voted to send the resolution to the Ethics Committee so that it can be amended to adequately protect those who've done the brave thing and come forward.”Rep Anna Paulina Luna comes out and says it.

1. Iran’s Regional Escalation Iran launched missiles, drones, and attacks on multiple Middle Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan), pulling them into alignment with the U.S. and Israel. Commentary emphasizes Iran’s willingness to target anyone, showing “suicidal” or “homicidal” motives. Raises the danger of Iran possessing nuclear weapons. Discussion clarifies Trump’s position as opposing “forever wars,” not all military action. No expectation of U.S. ground troops in Iran. Military strikes are preemptive self‑defense due to Iran’s history of killing Americans. Critique of left‑wing politicians and activists who oppose U.S. involvement in Iran. Statement from Comrade Mamdani criticized as sympathetic to Iran’s regime. Contrast drawn between American leftist protesters and Iranian citizens protesting against the Ayatollah. The area may have been mined by Iran; shipping and air traffic are restricted. Mine‑sweeping operations expected before reopening. 2. DHS Leadership Shake‑Up Kristi Noem removed as DHS Secretary; replaced by Sen. Markwayne Mullin. Noem’s controversial $220M ad spending questioned in Senate Judiciary hearing—described as the catalyst for her removal. Senator John Kennedy’s cross‑examination highlighted as pivotal. Administration criticized for rhetoric after police-involved shootings in Minneapolis. Said to have contributed to Noem’s ousting. 3. Texas Election Outcomes Several candidates endorsed by the speaker (Cruz) won key primaries. Notable upset: Dan Crenshaw lost his House seat to Cruz‑backed Steve Toth. Personal conflict between Cruz and Crenshaw described, including a heated confrontation on a plane. Runoff between Sen. John Cornyn and Texas AG Ken Paxton. Both candidates are longtime allies of the speaker; race expected to be bruising and expensive. Trump expected to endorse but hasn’t yet. 4.

President Trump makes the first cabinet shakeup of his second term, reassigning Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and nominating Senator Markwayne Mullin to take over the department. The Trump administration signals the war in Iran may last far longer than originally expected, as officials say Operation Epic Fury will continue for “as long as it takes.” Virginia Democrats advance sweeping legislation limiting cooperation with ICE - Article III Project founder Mike Davis weighs in. A push by California Democratic Party leaders to thin the crowded governor's race appears to backfire, as candidates refuse to drop out and accuse party insiders of trying to pick the nominee while the GOP candidates both side on top in a shock new poll.
