But host Harris Faulkner wasn’t having it. She fired back, telling Murphy that Democrats were “barking at the wind” instead of offering real solutions.
“What is your party doing other than barking to the wind?” Faulkner asked, before bringing up Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins’ announcement that 70,000 VA employees would be laid off.
Democrats’ Big Lie About Government Layoffs
The Left wants Americans to believe that every federal worker is an essential piece of the government machine. They claim that Trump’s layoffs will cause chaos—planes falling out of the sky, starving children, untested food, and other fearmongering nonsense.
The truth? Many of the workers being let go were recent hires brought in under Joe Biden’s administration. These aren’t seasoned professionals keeping the country afloat; they’re bureaucrats bogging down the system with inefficiency.
Faulkner made it clear that layoffs at Veterans Affairs are about making the agency work better for those who actually need help—our veterans. No benefits are being cut, and the focus is on streamlining the system to speed up services.
“The benefits for veterans are going so slowly. They’re trying to speed up that number. They’re getting rid of people in the chain that don’t add to the benefits of veterans,” Faulkner explained. “So I want to look at a harder list of numbers than what you’ve just given the audience to really see. So, I’m going let you say what you say and then I’ll fact check it.”
Murphy doubled down, claiming, “One in three federal workers are veterans, right?”
That number was quickly debunked by PBS, which reported that it’s actually one in four.
Faulkner didn’t let the exaggeration slide.
“I hear what you are saying,” she told Murphy. “But you know me. I will let you say it but don’t be surprised if you don’t get a text.”

Democrats’ Desperate Fear Tactics
The Left is panicked. They know that Trump’s efforts to streamline government threaten their control. So they’re resorting to fear tactics, trying to convince voters that the sky will fall if Trump succeeds in trimming the bloated federal workforce.
But Americans aren’t buying it. They know the real crisis isn’t losing unnecessary government jobs—it’s keeping them. Trump is cutting dead weight, not essential services, and no amount of Democratic spin can change that.
