CNN analyst Michael Moore has some problems with President Donald Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk making cuts.
Moore particularly finds it suspicious that Trump, twice made an assassination target in the lead-up to the 2024 election, wouldn’t cut his Secret Service security. Instead, the Department of Government Efficiency is slashing government jobs left and right in the hopes of paring down a bloated, inefficient federal government into something that actually works for the average person.
Watch:
Democratic strategist Karen Finney kicked off the discussion by lamenting that Kansas City alone is looking down the barrel of 30,000 potential government layoffs.
“I’m talking about, for example, Kansas City. Thirty thousand government employees might be laid off. It will destroy the economy of Kansas City. That’s okay?” she asked the CNN NewsNight With Abby Phillip panel.
“Why do you say that?” asked Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary.
“Because I’m reading what the individuals from Kansas City have been saying, that they’re very concerned,” Finney retorted.
“What do you think they’re going to say when they’re going to get whacked?” O’Leary shot back.
“Of course they’re going to say that, but my point is, do we think that’s smart, to live in an American city, just go under?” the Democrat strategist asked.
Scott Jennings butted in to bring common sense back to the table.
“How many American cities need a massively oversized federal government to stay afloat? I mean, isn’t that more about the city than the government?” he mused.
When asked for his opinion, Moore whined about Trump attending the Super Bowl and Daytona 500.
“This strikes me as something that was done just for the sake of doing. And I don’t — I think it was a tone-deaf move. It wasn’t a big enough cut to do anything. It was a completely tone-deaf move. I mean, I find people are always interested in efficiency as long as it doesn’t affect them,” he said. “And it’s strange to me that we’ve got enough people to go and ride around the racetrack behind the presidential limousine and such and to guard three residences. And we’re never cutting people from there. But to come now and make sort of a tone-deaf move to cut the FAA is again, this is just an image thing and they want to be seen as doing something.”
