主持人：我认为特朗普政府不分青红皂白地解雇数千名联邦雇员，包括负责核安全和航空安全的关键岗位，这引发了广泛争议。我认为这种做法不仅可能危及国家安全，也严重损害了政府的运作效率。我感到震惊的是，政府似乎对这些岗位的专业性和重要性缺乏认识，这种行为简直是玩忽职守。我担心的是，这种大规模解雇可能会导致政府服务质量下降，甚至可能引发安全事故。我认为我们必须对此保持高度警惕，并采取一切必要措施来确保政府的正常运作和国家安全。

Shownotes Transcript

Donald Trump fires thousands of government workers, including people who make sure America's skies are safe and nukes are secure. Negotiators from the US and Russia prepare to meet in Saudi Arabia about ending the war in Ukraine, even though Ukraine and the European community won't be at the table. Elon Musk and DOGE continue to force their way into access to incredibly sensitive government systems—this time at the IRS. And Trump's Justice Department drops the corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams in an obvious quid pro quo. Jon and Tommy discuss how the administration is justifying Trump's actions at home and abroad and why Democrats need to focus on the potentially horrendous consequences. Then, Tommy is joined by legendary sports commentator-turned-pundit (and potential 2028 presidential candidate) Stephen A. Smith to talk about reaching young men and what he thinks Democrats are doing wrong.
