This was a dictator move, in my opinion. It's one of the many bad things dictators do which is to "fire everybody" that way no opponents are around to complain about the dictator move. Thanks, Harry, for keeping us fully informed about the dictator in the White House.
Thank you for helping us to understand what happens on the job of an IG. We need these people in place. This guest is clearly a person w integrity and it makes no sense to fire him!
It is a mystery to me why people like this never get nominated by the Democratic Party; Americans don't get him, don't get a Sheldon Whitehouse or an Amy Klobuchar; people who could not only mobilize millions of folks who just sit out elections but could actually peel off 10's of millions of lukewarm Republicans. We get Hillary, we get Biden, and Harris.
@@-danR Why Al Gore lost; he's a wonk. A brilliant wonk with integrity who basically predicted a lot of what we are going thru right now, but a wonk. It's not "sexy" on TV.
That's why trump has fired these people because it is a check on keeping trump under control. By doing this trump has an in and another place to control to his advantage . Nothing will get taken care of or protected.
Integrity is exactly the problem. The Republican Administration can't afford to have people who will not blindly support their orders. Anyone with a solid sense of right and wrong is a threat.
My heart goes out to Mark Greenblatt and the other affected IGs and hope you all will prevail. Some of us are paying attention and we're with you. Thank you Harry for bringing this to the public's attention.
Absolutely! He (trump) wants to rid the government of all who have integrity, are honest, and have the best interests of anyone other than him at heart.
@@laurelrobbins8673he hates people who want to keep and would only ever keep their oath to the Constitution. Trump as a psychopath, pathological liar and malignant narcissist has no comprehension of adults with integrity, compassion, honesty and decency. That's why he said to pence the trouble with you is that you're too honest. Psychopaths and narcissists see traits like honesty and integrity and dignity and dedication to an ideal as meaningless. He can't relate. Dictators and fascist wannabe kings are always historically in every single case, and history completely bears this out.. the most insecure paranoid thin-skinned, immature losers there are. We all know people like that or have known them in the past probably at work or a neighbor. The difference between them and Trump is that they don't have inherited borrowed, grifted, extorted or fraudulently obtained, outright stolen, obtained by cheating... Trump's done it all.
Inspectors General are some of the most important, and valuable government professionals! They shouldn’t have been removed! What is the Administration trying to hide?
This whole week was the danger zone. Why dump wants to destroy it all is beyond me. He needs to play golf and enjoy his get out of jail free card. He truly is the face of chaos.
He will destroy anything for a buck. Every darn thing is transactional to him. He is drunk on his Retribution Rampage and won't stop until his body fails him, which may happen before July. We might see the 25th Amendment thrown at him by his own Cabinet & JD will become Trump 2.0. Karma & Kismet are going to have lunch by Valentine's Day.
dump is a Dictator on day one, but he's not stopping after day one. He wants to crash our government and make his own with no inspectors or checks on his power!
@@pamponsartThat is done by cabinet members. He doesn’t have enough in place yet. They tried after Jan. 6, 2021. But all but about 2 had left the administration.

The orange Mussolini told everyone that he would seize ultimate power to do as he pleases and tear down everything. That people weren't hearing that or they were apathetic about it or even wanted it is quite telling about the state of the country. Old Ben Franklin had his doubts that we would be able to hang on to our form of government and maybe he knew the people would begin to take their freedoms and liberties for granted and ultimately fall into the trap of wanting another authoritarian monarch.
Anything that involves We The People to be Less Safe in Our Own Country MUST be stopped!!! 🫨 Thank you Harry and Mark for your dedication to serve and protect the citizens of Our USA!!! ⚖️🇺🇲🙏
The dissolution of legitimate, democratic & efficient government has been the aim of the RW since before Raygun. Coincidentally dovetails with Putin's agenda.
Thanks for having him on Harry! He is exactly the kind of person we need in our government and that’s why Trump wants to get rid of him! God will give him justice , I just know it!
Stop depending on God to end this mess! He has given trump a clear green light! And I don't mean trump is "chosen by God" or any such nonsense. Just that God is not involved in this political disruption.
God has given each person free will. As citizens, each individual has a responsibility to educate themselves on the plans of each candidate. I have never been so disappointed in voters and nonvoters. They actually put the plan for the first 100 days of a Trump administration online called Project 2025, and a book with JD Vance writing the forward. Believing Trump knew nothing about it, is completely absurd! Trump never tells the truth.
How can a government employee be fired via email? Don't they have to receive some kind of official termination form? And if this is an illegal act, who's going to be prosecuted for pressing the button that actually removes the employee from government payroll?
It’s time America recognizes, that trump’s authoritarian regimes have begun. The sheer ignorance of this is astonishing, and it’s time to begin the process of accountability .
The ignorance was always there. Not many average Americans knew Reagan fired IGs or the outrage it created on Capitol Hill. The difference now is that the Congress guardrail has been eliminated.
@@tinal.holloway2149 Congress passed a law in 2022 that a President must notify Congress 30 days in advance and the reason he wants to remove an IG. He did neither.
Once a democracy has fallen into a state of authoritarian dictatorship, it is almost impossible to reverse that move. The dictator completely surrounds himself with only total loyalists who are willing to do as the dictator wants including the military, information is controlled so that the people stop being informed and the purge gets worse and worse to the point even those closest to the dictator come under suspicion. Just look at how North Korea's leader acts and you will get an idea of what is in store for our country. Those love letters weren't a joke.
Mr. Greenblatt we are so grateful for your efforts and dedication to a moral America. We were so lucky to have you! Thank you sir. I am horrified at what has happened in our country.
That is quite the cowardly and unproffessional way to try and terminate people in my opinion. Keep on fighting for your rights! Ty, Harry and AG Greenblatt.
We care. We are watching. We know why this is being done, so Trump and Musk can enrich themselves on the taxpayers dollars. A Putin playbook. It is outrageous and infuriating. Sincerely, thank you for your service.
He’s removing as many guard rails as possible. Like all the surveillance cameras, motion detectors, alarm bells, and idk yard dogs… to rule like kings get to rule. Evil kings.
So important to be explaining in clear detail how our government checks and balances and oversight roles of various departments safe guards the various individuals in our country. From health inspectors - to legal evaluations of gov't operations. Thank Goodness You Are Airing This Conversation. Best Regards .
Marjorie Taylor Greene filed articles of impeachment the first week of Biden's term. Why hasn't this happened yet with the Democrats for Trump? They at least have cause...
Harry, let your guest talk! You cut him off so many times that it TOTALLY diluted everything he was trying to explain. That's what Fox Noise does when they don’t want to hear reality. Lay off the caffeine.
It's a shame we're losing the top people that know their job well. And do their job well Well that's good that he can't just a point political cloning There's a lot of things he's not doing not correctly he needs to be impeached.
And this amount of dedication and wealth of expertise can not be easily replaced there is no such thing. Look at all the horrible negligence going on with the current day hires. Lackadaisical, egomaniacal, angry, salty bunch with very low to NO SKILL... Shameful
Excellent discussion Harry. Thank you . I needed to understand what was happening here & this clarifies a lot. The issue of IG independence is absolutely critical. I get it . Everyone needs to ‘get it’ 😢👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This doesn't sound right 23 years doing his job taking care of United States citizens without any thing wrong should not be losing his job. This only sounds so crazy. Are Congress needs to do something about this
Why is it that we don’t hear about the Inspectors general findings very often. If your department we’re doing good things perhaps we would not be in the position we are today
Thanks for this. It would have been helpful to hear a little about specific cases, or the type of cases Mark worked on both at the Permanent Subcommittee and at Interior, in order to have more of a sense for what the new administration was trying to achieve with his firing.

Why can we not get trump out? Is there any immunity issues with him since he cannot be prosecuted for any actions or thoughts on his part while being pres isn't that the problem now?

How is that going to happen now?
First you have to bring those people out of the fog in his ass!!!
Inspectors general are charged with rooting out government waste, fraud, abuse, and preventing misconduct,”
In other words, Inspectors General are the reason that the unofficial illegitimate D.O.G.E. is not only ridiculous but superfluous.
I thought that was Musks job😂😂
Lunacy of trump.
Real oversight and ethics are the first to go when a corrupt abuser of power like felon Trump steps up!
Only necessary because people (citizens) willfully try to cheat our government.
How can the public best support our beloved civil servants?
At the voting booth !!!!
That hasn’t worked too well as of lately.
Mark, I am sorry you were treated like this. Trump is suffering from dementia. But no one wants to confront this.
