And now for a moment of clarity.

The following is from MS NBC's The Weekend, which aired Saturday, June 22nd.

As a lifelong follower and participant in heritage

having spoken at various times there

in the roles that I've played in the party,

I see this as a dramatic shift away

from those Reagan next principles when you have someone like Trump who's

advocated some of the things he has. But before we get to that, I want to get to the nub of this because

you can't really do anything until you remove what has been identified as the problem and that

is 50,000 federal employees.

Axios quoted noted,

noted, quote, the massive head hunting quest

aims to recruit 20,000 people to serve in the next administration as a down payment on 4,000 presidential

appointments plus potential replacements for as many as 50,000 federal workers who are

policy adjacent as trumpers put it policy adjacent to what I mean you're talking

about people who've been in federal government my dad it was a federal government

employee so I would be really appalled thinking that he could be on someone's chopping

block because they think he is part of some deep state effort.

Talk to us about what that looks like if heritage is calling for removing 50,000

federal employees who are you replacing them with the number and where do they come from I mean even if it's not 50,000, if it's 10,000, if it's 2,000, where are they coming from and who are you

replacing them?

Because I suspect a lot of those people you're talking about have been in the federal service for a long time and have served not just Republican administrations but also Democratic administrations, etc.
