Speaker 1: The Washington Post is furious about an executive order President
Speaker 1: Trump just signed. It creates a new schedule for federal workers.
Speaker 1: It sounds like no big deal, but that would be wrong.
Speaker 1: The Post editorial board says this is one of President
Speaker 1: Trump's most insidious executive orders. They call it an assault
Speaker 1: on the civil service. Here's why they're losing their minds.
Speaker 1: Trump's new executive order gives him more flexibility to control
Speaker 1: the huge civil service bureaucracy. Until now, career employees were
Speaker 1: so firmly embedded into the bureaucracy that they've been almost
Speaker 1: impossible to get rid of. And a lot of these
Speaker 1: bureaucrats are members of the deep state or the shadow government. Now,
Speaker 1: the Washington Post calls these burrowed and bureaucrats the federal
Speaker 1: government's greatest strength, which is a laugh. The editors worry
Speaker 1: that tens of thousands of workers, including managers, lawyers, economists,
Speaker 1: and even scientists. Scientists, yeah, could find their jobs on
Speaker 1: the chopping block if they're rated poor performers. To Washington
Speaker 1: as liberals, firing poor performers is insidious. It's an assault
Speaker 1: on precious civil service bureaucrats. But to most Americans, who
Speaker 1: don't have that kind of artificial job protection. This isn't
Speaker 1: an assault, and it isn't insidious. It's just the way
Speaker 1: business operates on merit. Getting rid of these government parasites
Speaker 1: is yet another Trump promise kept. This is what draining
Speaker 1: the swamp looks like. Folks, learn it, love it, live it.
