Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on DOGE cutting hundreds of nuclear safety workers, scrambling to rehire them - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The latest cuts in the US Government have been described as a “total farce”. 

The Trump Administration has reversed the firings of hundreds of employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration, the department tasked with working on the nation’s nuclear weapons programs.  

The cuts were part of a DOGE purge across the Department of Energy. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking they attempted to walk back the sackings and rehire the workers, but were unable to contact many of them since they’d been cut out of the email network.
