It's austerity and Shock Therapy for all of you plebes and peasants:

NED RYUN (GUEST): I think this court would rule in favor of Donald Trump, and then for two years, he can become the absolute demolition man for the administrative state, fire whoever he wants to, shut down any department that he wants to, implode buildings, and completely destroy the administrative state. So I would like to see them do that on day one and have Donald Trump fire hundreds of thousands of them and start this proceeding all the way up to the Supreme Court.
LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Well, we know that will be tough for the economy. There is no doubt about it. People have to get, as my father would have said, real work, real jobs. People are going to have to get jobs and they're going to be scrambling. You know, one would think that the economy will start churning out new jobs. That's going to take a while for our manufacturing base to get, you know, up and running again, the reindustrialization of the country. But that's what you are beginning to hear. But what about the economy? But what about the employment?

I hate to break it to this asshole, but people are already working like crazy, Laura. The unemployment rate is at record lows.

As if the staff of these departments are all millionaires and oh, no big deal if they lose their jobs.
Absolutely disgusting.
