| 0:00.0 | Donald's mass federal layoffs, which are becoming both more thoughtless and reckless, just had a new level of chaos. |
| 0:10.3 | As President Trump and Elon Musk escalate plans to downsize the federal government, confusion about who has a job and who doesn't. |
| 0:18.6 | NBC News obtaining an email trying to unfire employees at the National |
| 0:22.6 | Nuclear Security Administration, saying in part the termination letters for some NNSA probationary |
| 0:28.8 | employees are being rescinded. Officials admitting they do not have a good way to get in touch with |
| 0:34.6 | those personnel. Musk telegraphing last week that he could falter in his |
| 0:38.8 | effort to crush fraud, waste, and abuse. It's just nuclear weapons. That's not really important or serious, |
| 0:44.6 | right? Just I want to pause for a second. They fired people for no cause, I guess to be more efficient. |
| 0:54.6 | And now they know they need to rehire them because they've left this country at very serious |
| 1:00.9 | risk because our nuclear warheads aren't exactly being monitored carefully. |
| 1:06.7 | But they can't rehire them because they can't get in touch with them. |

| 1:22.8 | the fired employees since they lost government email access, and that is because of Elon Musk, giving it to |
| 1:28.9 | other people who could not have any access to anything. Officials are now relying on colleagues |
| 1:36.1 | to pass the message along. Again, very efficient. This all comes as the agency monitors nuclear threats, one of which just occurred recently |
| 1:47.1 | when a Russian drone struck near the Chernobyl power plant the same day these terminations |
| 1:53.3 | went out. |
| 1:54.3 | I'm sure it's a coincidence. |
| 1:57.1 | We are 21, sorry, 28 days, 28 days into the Trump regime. And already these failures are becoming |
| 2:04.8 | more commonplace than not. In other words, shock and awe is over and this is just the way things are. |
| 2:14.4 | Today, we're going to uncover more of those failures. It's Donald Trump. |
