Why is Elon Musk asking federal employees to justify their jobs?

John Smith 0:05
You know me, I love trash talk. And I love when people call Elon Musk names that are well-deserved. And so Senator Tina Smith says, I bet a lot of people have an experience like this with the bad boss. There's an email in your box on Saturday night saying, prove to me your worthiness by Monday or else. I'm sick. I'm on the side of workers, not the billionaire asshole bosses. Elon Musk responds, consistent with President at real Donald Trump instructions, all federal employees will receive an email requesting to understand what they have done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. So that's what he sent out to federal employees. So Tina Smith, I read her response. Then she says, this is the ultimate dick boss move for Musk, except he isn't even the boss. He's just a dick. How much do you love Tina Smith?

Who are the women standing up against Elon Musk's actions?

Jane Doe 0:55
I have to tell you, it's consistently women. It is. That are standing up to this. You see the main governor. You see Michelle Obama refusing to go to the inauguration. You see Karen Pence, mother. Mother. going to the inauguration. You see AOC, you see Jasmine Crockett, you see Tina Smith. And this is what the people want. Call him a dick. We need to have some fangs. And it's the women that are standing up because you know what I think? I think white men are so used to being privileged. They don't know how to fight this.
John Smith 1:31
I completely agree. How they fight it is run around saying masculinity is under attack. Instead of achieving more, being better, they want to attack the people that are surpassing them with skill and education because they are so fragile. I mean, it's just unbelievable. You're right. I noticed it's a stream of women that are standing up and it cracks me up. Mother standing up and she's even poked pins to standing up a little bit.
Jane Doe 1:55
I have to tell you, I've seen Magic Mike Pence out there with some tweets standing up for Ukraine. He knows. Everybody knows. Everybody knows, unless you listen to Tucker Carlson's Dipshit podcast, that Russia started the war. It is a fact. It's not to be argued with. If you're a Putin sympathizer, like... Apparently, the president of the United States, the vice president of the United States, their boss, Elon Musk, and Elon Musk's boss, Vladimir Putin. You have a bunch of dipshit Americans that want to believe that. And it's just so dangerous. It is so dangerous.
John Smith 2:35
Speaking of dangerous and corruption, as always, is forefront in the Trump administration. So this weekend, Pete Hegseth fired Trump. A gazillion Pentagon employees. Trump fired the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And interestingly enough, and quite dangerous, Pete Hegseth fired JAG officers. Well, why did he do that?

What is Pete Hegseth's stance on military legal advisors?

John Smith 3:02
So on Fox, he was asked the question, why did you fire these JAG attorneys in the DOJ? I'm sorry, in the Department of Justice.
Pete Hegseth 3:11
For people who may not know, I mean, they give advice to the military about what is lawful and what isn't. Not surprisingly, there's been some backlash to those who are worried about their removal. One Georgetown law professor says this. Trump also firing the Army, Navy and Air Force Jags. In some ways, that's even more chilling than firing the four stars. It's what you do when you're planning to break the law. You get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down. Your response to her? Yeah, I don't.
Unknown 3:35
know who Rosa is and what her hyperbole is all about. Ultimately, we want lawyers who give sound constitutional advice and don't exist to attempt to be roadblocks to anything that happens in their spots. What we know about these TJAGs are called TJAGs.
John Smith 3:54
So what he said basically is exactly what the person tweeted that is looking at the Department of Defense. We don't want lawyers to stand up and give roadblocks to what we want to do vis-a-vis if we want to do things that are illegal, we don't want lawyers that will tell us, you can't do that, it's illegal. I mean, he admitted it on Fox News. It's unbelievable.
Jane Doe 4:17
I mean, here's how I feel about Pete Hegseth. I think the people surrounding him need to do an intervention and they need to take him to rehab for his alcoholism. And once he's been sober four or five years, because I think that's about how long it takes for the brain to fully, fully kind of recover from being in remission from alcohol abuse disorder.
