Full Episode
Republicans making complete fools of themselves on the weekend shows like MAGA Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma, who was asked on Meet the Press by Kristen Welker. So tell the people in Oklahoma what your message is when they keep losing their jobs because Donald Trump is laying them off. He's taking away their Medicaid. What do you say to them, Mullen?
Here's what MAGA Republican Mark Wayne Mullen says. Play this clip.
Talk to the people in Oklahoma who've lost their jobs, who say they are hurting. They don't know how they're going to pay their mortgage. They don't know how they're going to make ends meet. Talk to those people. What's your message to them? They say enough of these cuts.
Well, I would tell you that the majority of the American people want to make sure that their taxpayers are being used correctly. I don't want anybody to lose their job. That's the last thing we want. But at the same time, any time you're trying to secure this country, which a national security risk we have right now is our national debt, we have to make changes and we have to make it quickly.
Unfortunately, when we have bureaucrats and politicians that have wastefully spent money The American taxpayer dollars, and we don't have to look any further than USAID to see the wasteful billions of dollars that were spent. Cuts had to take place, and every business owner understands this. Every business owner understands that you have to get your house in order before you can advance.
That's exactly what Doge is doing. Think about this. Every successful business owner.
Yes. So as this commentator says, he basically told them good night and good luck. Go F yourselves. I'm just going to do what Elon Musk and Donald Trump tell me to do. Then you've got MAGA Republican Congress member Jim Jordan says the following on firing federal workers. Play this clip.
I grabbed this headline, national parks in chaos after the Washington Post story. Here's the first paragraph, California National Park, the Trump administration fired the only locksmith on staff. Next sentence, he was fired, he was the sole employee with keys and institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms. Now, if that is, I mean, that's the best you can do.
The real question is, how do visitors get locked in restrooms? I mean, this is how ridiculous some of this thing is. So maybe there have been some mistakes made, but I think the intensity and the focus on getting rid of the wasteful spending, the one guy who can unlock people who somehow get locked in a restroom at a national park, this is ridiculous.
