But the USAID list. was perfect for his culture warriors because he picked program after program that he deems, and he didn't call it woke there, woke. He found programs that he thought had extreme titles in foreign countries and saying, we're cutting them. But even if they cut them legally or illegally, that's not enough money to balance the budget. Just like if Elon Musk fires every single
federal worker. That's three million workers, the same number of workers we had in the federal government in 1980. So when he says we ballooned the government, not when it comes to our federal workers, that's five percent of our budget. Again, chump change.
But people will think. cut that program. It's so much money. It's not. It's chump change. And if he really wanted to go after the deficit, it's Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, which he's potentially coming for.
Let's check back in with our own Jacob Soboroff, who has been speaking with four fired federal workers in Washington, D.C. Jacob, I'm guessing tonight those workers had a different experiencing watching the president than they have in previous speeches.
Jacob, thank you so much. What an impressive group of people. And just juxtapose that with the way both the president and Elon Musk talk in such derogatory terms about just the general federal government workforce.

Hello and welcome to the Bulwark Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. It is Wednesday. We're in the third day of Donald Trump's second presidency. There's only like 1,300 or 1,400 or so days to go, so no big deal. I'm excited to be here. First time we get to turn the tables. Stephanie Ruhl, host of the 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhl on MSNBC. She's a senior business correspondent with NBC News.
She was formerly an anchor for Bloomberg and a managing director at Deutsche Bank. What's going on, Steph?
Are you excited about this? Do you have four years of 11 p.m. commentary on Donald Trump's antics in you mentally?
Me.
Is this cope? Do you really feel this way?
Yeah, are you coping? Is this you convincing yourself about this because you have to go into the salt mines every day and talk about this? Or is this honest? Or is this true?
You're making me feel guilty.
Yeah. You're bucking me up right now. I was in the green room. I was talking about how I've been weeknight drinking. You're like, I'm not drinking. I'm keeping it sober. I'm excited. This is fun. And I'm beaten down. I need you. I need you to be my wake-up call in the morning. Be like, you got this, Tim.
I needed this. Okay. I didn't even know. I was just trying to make some small talk at the top of the podcast, but that was useful. All right. Uh, I mean, just because besides the fact that I just like hanging out with you, I think it was on your Friday night, 11th hour show where you have kind of the little happy hour vibe going. Yeah. And, uh,
And you were ranting about how you have more masculine energy than Mark Zuckerberg and talking about how all these CEOs put in their own DEI programs, are now mad at themselves and their own employees. And they're all – I don't think you said the P word, but we can say it now in Donald Trump 2.0, and you seem to maybe be implying it deep down.
And I was like, I need to talk about this stuff with Steph.
We haven't seen Priscilla, I noticed.
