The New Yorker workers author Jonathan Blitzer joins Tyler Foggatt to debate Kristi Noem’s elimination from her put up as Secretary of Homeland Safety. They speak concerning the lead-up to her firing—which included accusations of fiscal mismanagement and self-promotion—and her controversial tenure as the top of one of many largest and strongest departments throughout Donald Trump’s second Presidential time period.
