Committee Congressman ░░░░░░░░ for joining us So ░░░░░░░░ congressional district in Maryland ░░░░░░░░ outside D C is ░░░░░░░░ with federal workers What ░░░░░░░░ you hearing from them ░░░░░░░░ how

indiscriminate and They re ░░░░░░░░ And uh what Gets ░░░░░░░░ now is how many ░░░░░░░░ my Constituents are telling ░░░░░░░░ that they re being ░░░░░░░░ because they re in ░░░░░░░░ probationary period which sounds ░░░░░░░░ gt like something bad ░░░░░░░░ gt but in fact ░░░░░░░░ probationary period is used ░░░░░░░░ people who are getting ░░░░░░░░ promotion So these are ░░░░░░░░ people who ve done ░░░░░░░░ gt gt well gt ░░░░░░░░ in their jobs They ░░░░░░░░ getting promotion to another ░░░░░░░░ in their department or ░░░░░░░░ another department and they ░░░░░░░░ just being sacked indiscriminately ░░░░░░░░ by doge Now the ░░░░░░░░ problem is people don ░░░░░░░░ even know who doge ░░░░░░░░ anymore because the administration ░░░░░░░░ the position in court ░░░░░░░░ week that Elon Musk ░░░░░░░░ not the head of ░░░░░░░░ and is not leading ░░░░░░░░ So who Is leading ░░░░░░░░ Is it the young ░░░░░░░░ who calls himself big ░░░░░░░░ Uh is it the ░░░░░░░░ racist uh on the ░░░░░░░░ Crew who s uh ░░░░░░░░ of the fact that ░░░░░░░░ was a racist before ░░░░░░░░ of his friends were ░░░░░░░░ and says that we ░░░░░░░░ legitimize Indian hate Who ░░░░░░░░ doge gt gt um ░░░░░░░░ want to play this ░░░░░░░░ President Trump had with ░░░░░░░░ governor Janet Mills of ░░░░░░░░ today He was meeting ░░░░░░░░ democratic and Republican governors ░░░░░░░░ the White House Just ░░░░░░░░ to get your reaction ░░░░░░░░ it gt gt your ░░░░░░░░ doesn t want men ░░░░░░░░ in women s sports ░░░░░░░░ you better you better ░░░░░░░░ because otherwise you re ░░░░░░░░ getting any any federal ░░░░░░░░ Every state Good I ░░░░░░░░ see you in court ░░░░░░░░ look forward to that ░░░░░░░░ should be a real ░░░░░░░░ one For me And ░░░░░░░░ your life after governor ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ ll be an elected ░░░░░░░░ gt gt so just ░░░░░░░░ people couldn t hear ░░░░░░░░ mills was saying we ░░░░░░░░ going to follow the ░░░░░░░░ sir We ll see ░░░░░░░░ in court Having to ░░░░░░░░ with um the issue ░░░░░░░░ trans athletes in women ░░░░░░░░ sports Um what is ░░░░░░░░ reaction President Trump there ░░░░░░░░ that they re going ░░░░░░░░ withhold all funding all ░░░░░░░░ funding to Maine if ░░░░░░░░ takes that position gt ░░░░░░░░ well gt gt it ░░░░░░░░ obviously a coercive threat ░░░░░░░░ godfather offer gt gt ░░░░░░░░ the gt gt self ░░░░░░░░ uh mega boss But ░░░░░░░░ they re losing in ░░░░░░░░ We re beating them ░░░░░░░░ We ve gotten more ░░░░░░░░ 20 different temporary restraining ░░░░░░░░ and preliminary injunctions by ░░░░░░░░ who were appointed by ░░░░░░░░ by Trump himself by ░░░░░░░░ by Ronald Reagan They ░░░░░░░░ all ruling against this ░░░░░░░░ because what they re ░░░░░░░░ is violating Congress s ░░░░░░░░ to set up departments ░░░░░░░░ agencies We created the ░░░░░░░░ financial protection bureau we ░░░░░░░░ the NIH We created ░░░░░░░░ Department of Education And ░░░░░░░░ anybody is going to ░░░░░░░░ it or terminate it ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ not Elon Musk or ░░░░░░░░ Trump They don t ░░░░░░░░ the power to do ░░░░░░░░ The core job of ░░░░░░░░ president himself under article ░░░░░░░░ is to take care ░░░░░░░░ the laws are faithfully ░░░░░░░░ not that the laws ░░░░░░░░ ravaged and trashed and ░░░░░░░░ and flushed down the ░░░░░░░░ garbage compactor So we ░░░░░░░░ winning in court And ░░░░░░░░ mills who s a ░░░░░░░░ public servant is absolutely ░░░░░░░░ The place to decide ░░░░░░░░ things is in court ░░░░░░░░ that s where Donald ░░░░░░░░ and Elon Musk are ░░░░░░░░ every single day gt ░░░░░░░░ I mean I think ░░░░░░░░ have been some victories ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration labor ░░░░░░░░ that have requested restraining ░░░░░░░░ I don t doubt ░░░░░░░░ don t doubt that ░░░░░░░░ gt gt side in ░░░░░░░░ you re referring to ░░░░░░░░ Yeah Judge o toole ░░░░░░░░ Boston found that the ░░░░░░░░ have standing The union ░░░░░░░░ t have standing in ░░░░░░░░ court So they re ░░░░░░░░ on a couple of ░░░░░░░░ issues like this But ░░░░░░░░ any of them that ░░░░░░░░ to the question for ░░░░░░░░ of whether Elon Musk ░░░░░░░░ take possession of the ░░░░░░░░ data of 300 million ░░░░░░░░ citizens We re winning ░░░░░░░░ that treasury case We ░░░░░░░░ winning on the case ░░░░░░░░ the consumer financial protection ░░░░░░░░ Those people cannot be ░░░░░░░░ en masse And the ░░░░░░░░ defunded and all of ░░░░░░░░ Operations entities and activities ░░░░░░░░ absorbed into the department ░░░░░░░░ treasury We re winning ░░░░░░░░ those things And so ░░░░░░░░ re going to continue ░░░░░░░░ win because this is ░░░░░░░░ lawless administration and it ░░░░░░░░ serving a totally corrupt ░░░░░░░░ That s why they ░░░░░░░░ rid of 17 inspectors ░░░░░░░░ when it got started ░░░░░░░░ are the people who ░░░░░░░░ us 91 billion last ░░░░░░░░ in waste fraud and ░░░░░░░░ Those were the first ░░░░░░░░ Elon Musk got rid ░░░░░░░░ The people who are ░░░░░░░░ fighting corruption Meantime they ░░░░░░░░ in and say that ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ the foreign corrupt practices ░░░░░░░░ anymore and they disband ░░░░░░░░ units within the Department ░░░░░░░░ Justice that are fighting ░░░░░░░░ and China and the ░░░░░░░░ kleptocrats So I think ░░░░░░░░ s becoming obvious to ░░░░░░░░ American people that Elon ░░░░░░░░ and Donald Trump are ░░░░░░░░ opponents of corruption They ░░░░░░░░ agents
