Kristi Noem's Action Plan, Israel Cabinet to Confirm Ceasefire Deal, Trump XI Hold Critical Call,  Ozempic Target of Medicare Negotiations, Israel's Exploding Centrifuges

Key Topics:

•  We've got a packed show for you today, starting with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem's fiery confirmation hearing for DHS Secretary, where she's making waves with bold promises to shut down the controversial CBP One app and transform our border policies. 
• Over in the Middle East, we're tracking major developments in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, with Netanyahu's cabinet set to make a crucial decision that could pause the fighting after months of conflict. 
• Then we'll dive into President-elect Trump's headline-making phone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, and why it matters for U.S.-China relations. 
• Plus, we've got the latest on Medicare's drug price negotiations targeting popular medications like Ozempic, 
• and some explosive revelations about Israel's covert operations against Iran's nuclear program. 

 In a dramatic Senate confirmation hearing today, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem laid out her bold vision for transforming the Department of Homeland Security, taking direct aim at the Biden administration's border policies. Noem didn't mince words, declaring the southern border a "war zone" and vowing immediate action if confirmed as DHS Secretary. The governor's first target? The controversial CBP One app. Noem pledged to shut down the mobile application on day one, effectively ending a program that's allowed roughly 800,000 migrants to legally enter the U.S. since January 2023. According to the New York Post, she's also promising to reinstate Trump's Remain in Mexico policy and eliminate the parole program for Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants. 

 "There's several of these programs that need to be eliminated, and we need to ensure that we're following legal immigration laws," Noem stated firmly during her testimony. She emphasized her commitment to securing both southern and northern borders while creating what she called a "fair and lawful immigration system." But it wasn't just border security on the agenda. The hearing took an intense turn when discussion shifted to the Secret Service, which has faced intense scrutiny following two assassination attempts on President-elect Trump's life. Noem committed to implementing serious reforms within the agency, drawing from her experience working with her own gubernatorial protective detail. In a related development, Donald Trump Jr. announced that his father will name Sean Curran as the new Secret Service Director. Curran, who's currently part of Trump's personal detail, gained recognition for his role in protecting Trump during the first assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. This appointment follows the resignation of former Director Kimberly Cheatle amid bipartisan criticism of the agency's performance. Noem promised complete transparency regarding the assassination attempts, pledging to provide full details to the Senate as p
