4:16Now PlayingThe first five months of the Trump administration were marked by tens of thousands of federal workers being fired. Now that the dust has settled, the administration suddenly realized that they need those workers, so they have now launched a massive hiring spree to get people back to run the government. But this was always the plan, as laid out by Project 2025, and it shows that Elon Musk got played hard. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

We are now a little over five months into the Trump administration, and we have seen catastrophe after catastrophe, both at home and of course abroad, all 100% thanks to Donald Trump in a very complicit, dare I say, complacent Republican party. But the first five months of this administration were marked, of course, by the massive government firings, tens of thousands of workers. Pack your crap and get outta here because Elon Musk and Donald Trump said that you are not necessary. We don't need you. This is bloat. You're just taking up money and not doing anything. Get out of our government. That was the first five months. Well, suddenly now that Elon Musk, of course is, is gone. Uh, the tone and the attitude of this administration towards workers has decidedly changed. In fact, the administration, according to a new report from CNN this week, is currently scrambling to hire back thousands and thousands of workers because they're panicked that these government agencies are no longer able to function because they just fired a bunch of people without actually putting any real thought into it.
So yes, these government agencies that just purged thousands of people are now desperately scrambling to hire back either the people they let go or hire hundreds of new ones because they can't function. And that's what happens when you let a ketamine fueled weirdo get on stage with a chainsaw and say, we're gonna take down the government. Gee, I can't imagine why that didn't work out according to plan, but it's the reality in which we live, unfortunately. And it's the reality that the Trump administration is now desperately trying to fix. But here's the catch. This is all according to plan. It may not have been Elon Musk's plan, right? He thought he was just gonna go in fire, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people maybe, and then be on his way. I saved the government from spending too much money, but that was actually just step one.
And apparently Elon Musk was not smart enough to read what step two was. And yes, it was in writing a little thing called Project 2025, clear as day. We warned you about it ahead of the election. So did so many others in progressive media. Hell, even mainstream media talked about it. But the firing of all these people was step one. Step two is, yeah, you have to replace them. And who are we replacing them with? Well, according to Project 2025, nothing but Trump loyalists when available. Obviously some government departments like NOAA, they've just rehired some of the meteorologists that they had fired
Because, oops, yeah, even MAGA freaks can't do that. So we've gotta, you know, bring back some of the smart people. But other than that, everybody else is gonna be a diehard Trump supporter. This is why Elon Musk, of course, came out this week and said it was ridiculous what's going on with Doge Now, because Elon Musk got played, he shouldn't have been able to get played again, because this was all in the project 2025 blueprint, right? Fire everybody and then replace them with loyalists. But again, Elon Musk didn't read past that first line. He just read fire everybody and said, okay, I'm on it, boss. And the rest is history. Elon got played, the federal government was gutted. And now, yeah, the Trump administration is scrambling to find new people, but they're only scrambling because they're desperately trying to find the most MAGA of human beings to help destroy the federal government from within.
