Federal labor unions in Boston filed a lawsuit to block the Trump administration's buyout program for federal workers, claiming it requires Congressional authorization. A federal judge issued a temporary injunction, extending the deadline for employees to accept the payout until at least Monday. Union bosses are accused of trying to prevent the downsizing of the civil service to protect their dues and political influence.

Stephen Miller confirmed that a large number of federal workers have accepted buyout offers as the administration seeks to reform the government. A new directive has also ordered federal employees to drop gender pronouns in emails, consistent with an executive order recognizing only biological male and female sexes. The administration is also investigating Treasury officials who tried to block the Doge team's access to financial data.

During the live broadcast, it is confirmed that Twitter has accepted Elon Musk's $44 billion offer to take the company private. Jones and Stone celebrate this as a "game-changing event" for the America First movement, speculating on a future podcast featuring Musk, Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, and Donald Trump. They emphasize that Musk's move to open-source the algorithm and end shadowbanning will destroy the "woke capitalism" model of information control.
