Speaker 2 (00:16):
Ah Man, the bitching and moaning from government workers, Oh my.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
God, would you put your big boy pants on? And
then you get the media outlets that are following suit again.
I don't know what happened to the Wall Street Journal,
but it needs a testosterone shot, is what it needs.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is from the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
And anxious federal workforce bids goodbye. And job stability and
remote work job stability. I think that's always pissed me off. Sorry,
I grew up in aubury New York, where a large
majority of the people strive to just get a job
for the state job stability. Listen, if you suck at

(00:59):
your job, why should you have any sort of job stability? Now?
You either get it right or you get eliminated, and
quite frankly, if you are not doing right by the taxpayer,
you're fired again.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
You look at this stuff inside a number of federal offices.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
A sense of anxiety and confusion permeated the atmosphere as
employees passed the flurry of executive orders and memos handed down.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
By the Trump administration. Federal workers unions rushed to shield
employees from the changes, filing a lawsuit.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Give me a freaking break, you know what, Suck it up, buttercup.
I mean, honestly, listen, you know what, go get go
get a civil service job in France, and I bet
you ten bucks you couldn't pass their test for crying out.
Lot and again here's some of the quotes from the
Woe Street Journal. It's leaving a lot of uncertainty that

(01:57):
folks have nearly never really had to f Oh woe
is you? Oh my god, in there you get a
job at the federal government. Oh no, uncertainty like the
rest of us have to have in the private sector.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Got it was a great bit from Ghostbusters when dan
Ackroyd dan no no, no, no, no no. I worked
in the private sector. They expect results, didn't what didn't
want the Ghostbusters to move over there, which is kind
of you know, makes sense, but anyway, yeah, story after story.
Human resource managers, oh my god, had to call recent

(02:35):
hires with starts eighths to inform them that their offers
had been rescinded.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Good federal job freeze. We don't need anymore, we need less,
we need to eliminate them.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
And then, oh no, let's go into the war. Here
this again, this again, you know, the the soft as
hell Wall Street Journal. Trump's more on DEI freeze diversity
work across federal government.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Oh no, no, d I. Oh and you're seeing all
the memes out there. Well, the diversity is our strength. No,
it's not, nop No, diversity is not a strength. Competence
is Competence is strength, not diversity. Oh yes, they're closing programs.

(03:29):
Oh my god, web pages are coming down.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
They don't know what to do.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Again, you don't really serve any sort of purpose. You
really don't. You're there was that song by Carly Simon.
You're a legend in your own mind. That's all you are.
Go away, stop wasting our money. It's okay, it's okay.
I don't care. I've got to re educate yourself. Go
