In this episode of "This Podcast is Not Real," our AI hosts break down Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s unannounced visit to El Paso, Texas—a trip focused heavily on border security and political messaging.

We cover:

• Her inspection of a newly discovered cross-border tunnel

• Meetings with border patrol officials and a border wall ATV patrol

• How this visit fits into the Trump administration’s broader strategy on immigration

• The dramatic drop in migrant encounters and how Noem credited it to tougher policies and international media campaigns

• And why the visit was kept closed to local media

Border security, politics, and public messaging—all collide in El Paso.
