Why are federal employees panicking over accountability?
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, federal workers are in a state of panic after being subjected to the smallest amount of accountability and transparency. I already had a pretty low opinion of many federal workers. Now I'm realizing that my opinion was, I guess, still too high. Also, Joy Reid weeps on camera over her firing. Democrats in Maryland want to put condoms in elementary school vending machines. And one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time is in line to win a bunch of Oscars in a couple of weeks. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show. Let me tell you about something that doesn't get enough attention, your liver. This powerhouse organ is crushing it 24-7, handling over 500 functions in your body. It's a hard job, and sometimes your liver needs a little support. That's where Dose for Your Liver comes in.

He's talking about trade embargoes and inflation and how farmers in Illinois are being impacted by government policy. And he begins with one of his trademark quotes by saying, the nine most terrifying words in English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help. And the line obviously resonated, and it's quite well-known and famous now. And not just with the farmers who were watching that press conference in Chicago. Anyone who's ever interacted with the government understood immediately what Reagan was getting at. Most of the time, when the government gets more involved in your life for whatever reason, it's a good indicator that things are about to get worse. And normal people are frightened of that possibility for good reason.
At the same time, Reagan's one-liner raised a question that, until now, has gone unanswered. And that question is this. If everyday people are mortally terrified of government intervention in their lives, then what exactly do government bureaucrats fear above all else? What short, unassuming sentence could possibly terrorize the entire federal workforce in the same way that the government is capable of terrorizing everyday people and people in the private sector? Well, a couple of days ago, courtesy of Elon Musk and Doge, we learned the answer to those questions. We finally learned how to usher in a state of total panic in the federal government in just a few short words. It turns out that all you need to do if you want federal bureaucrats to melt down in a very public and humiliating fashion is ask them what they did last week. That's it.
To bring the entire federal bureaucracy to its knees, you just need to pose a question that every single private sector worker on the planet is able to answer and knows they must be able to answer or they will be fired. As you may have seen by now, here's the email that I'm talking about. It was sent by the Office of Personnel Management, which is essentially the HR department of the federal government. And it was clearly drafted by Elon Musk, who famously asked this same question to the old CEO of Twitter before Musk took over and fired him. But here's what the email looked like. Very, very simple. As you can see, it reads, please reply to this email with approximately five bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager. Now, you will not find a less threatening, more straightforward question that an employer could possibly ask an employee. I struggle to think of any remotely productive worker in any context who would have any difficulty answering this question.
