Full Episode
The Trump administration has made fatal error after fatal error regarding our nuclear arsenal, classified information, personnel information, and one has to ask, is it an error, is it a mistake, or is this malicious and wanted? Take a look at this headline, Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing that they oversee the country's weapon stockpile. Sources say that's right.
What happened this past week is the Trump officials fired hundreds of people at the National Nuclear Security Administration, and then Friday they scrambled to try to hire back the people they fired because they didn't realize that this was the team that oversaw America's nuclear weapons. I just want to read from you a little bit from this story.
Then I want to talk about the classified information that's not supposed to be revealed to foreign sources that was just posted on the Doge website. We could talk about how hackers access the Doge website. We'll talk about all of this. So the Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night. at the National Nuclear Security Administration.
Now, you would think if you were making cuts and firing people, I don't know, maybe that would raise a red flag, Nuclear Security Administration. I mean, it should all raise a red flag, but maybe that one was like, are these people the people who oversee our nukes? This is the agency tasked with managing the nation's nuclear stockpile.
And this was part of the broader energy department layoffs where they want to fire basically everybody in the agency. Now, if you believe this was mere negligence, that just means that you've also then said, Trump is this brilliant businessman and Elon Musk is so smart. These are the smartest people ever. Yet they fire the people who oversee the nukes?
You think that's what really happened, that it was just a mere mistake? What is it? Did they do it intentionally? Did they just fire everybody and not realize who these people were? So of course the Trump administration lies, but their lie is it was less than 50 people, which I think we know to be false because they lie about everything. Some of the fired employees, including NNSA staff,
who are on the ground at facilities where nuclear weapons are built, were pretty surprised when they got this news. You'd think there'd be some job security that you wouldn't be fired overnight when you're the one overseeing the nuclear button. But then again... Take a look at this guy, Pete Hegseth. Six questions, three scotches.
This was him in Brussels, and then he was also in other places in Europe as well, where he was giving away all of America's bargaining power as it relates to Ukraine, saying that Ukraine should enjoy NATO and that Ukraine should never get the... of land pre-2014 back, basically giving Putin everything that he wants.
But that's Pete Heggs at the Fox News host, who Donald Trump and spineless Republicans gave our nuclear arsenal to. So Do you sense a pattern here, picking the most unqualified person? By the way, I don't know what he was drinking there. It's a weird cut, by the way.
