Show Notes
Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security, Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullin, faced a confirmation hearing that left jaws on the floor. A multimillionaire who inherited his father's plumbing empire, received a PPP loan exceeding one million dollars that was later forgiven, and never served a single day in the United States military, Mullin has somehow found himself one step away from running DHS.
The hearing produced moment after moment of staggering incompetence. When asked if he had ever traveled outside the United States, Mullin said no, despite his own FBI background report listing trips to Georgia and Azerbaijan. Senator Rand Paul, who has a long and bitter history with Mullin, used his committee time to relentlessly grill the nominee over past comments about dueling and physical violence between senators. The confrontation between Paul and Mullin was as tense and bizarre as advertised.
When pressed on whether President Trump would ever ask him to break the law, Mullin flatly said no, prompting Hawk to walk through Trump's 91 indictments, 34 felony convictions, civil rape adjudication, classified document charges, and multiple attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Mullin also described going on classified missions and experiencing the smell of war, despite having zero military service. Independent journalist Aaron Rupar on Blue Sky provided real-time clip coverage of both the Mullin hearing and Tulsi Gabbard's simultaneous Senate subcommittee testimony.
