Speaker 8 Game time.

Speaker 5 We're hearing from all of these Trump supporters and Trump voters who are now like, Donald, you're betraying us.

Speaker 5 We depended on federal aid and now you did this federal aid across the board freeze and now we can't get the services that are keeping us alive. How could you do this to us?

Speaker 5 I'm going to share some of this F around and find out content, also known as Leopards Eating My Face or Your Face content, but I come with receipts as well.

Speaker 5 What I want to share with you is the type of coverage we had warning you about what was going to happen. So let's take out the receipts and let's also share some of these stories.

Speaker 5 First, let me share some of these stories. Like Lucinda who goes, you are betraying your followers, Donald Trump.
You are betraying us. I'm an elderly woman and you're taking away food stamps.

Speaker 5 You're taking away all of these programs for children. Who are you? You're letting us down and we put you there.

Speaker 5 How about this person who goes, a week in and now my Medicaid portal is shut down in my state? I voted for him too.

Speaker 5 But Jesus, this next person goes, the bank just called and told me that my USDA rural development loan that I was approved for is now canceled.

Speaker 5 Apparently, Trump has frozen all federal loans and grants. We were supposed to start construction on February 1st.
I voted for him to bring down grocery prices, not this.

Speaker 5 Well, I guess if you consider that a lot of groceries are no longer even making it to the grocery store, perhaps that's how you could say he's bringing it down the same way.

Speaker 5 I guess he brought down toilet paper during his first administration because bye-bye, there was no toilet paper and there were mass casualty events.

Speaker 5 Do y'all remember what happened in Trump administration one with mobile morgues? He said like a miracle, all of this COVID's just going to go away. Just inject yourself with bleach.

Speaker 5 Like, do you have collective amnesia, Trump voters? You know, that men in black wand that they used to have and they would just erase their memory? Is that what's going on here at all?

Speaker 5 Okay, let me pull out some receipts, then I'll share more stories. So, this is Elon Musk right here, who's basically as.

Speaker 5 top in the food chain of Trump. He's almost a co-president at this point.
So, during the election, he was saying what his plans were. He said that he needs to inflict temporary hardship.

Speaker 5 He said, we need to inflict immediate hardship on people, let them suffer, and then we can build after the people are suffering. This is his words.
Play this clip.

Speaker 10 We have to reduce spending to live within our means.

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 10 that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.

Speaker 5 Okay, so you have Elon saying that. And now, as we share more F-Around and find out stories, yesterday we also learned that donald and this one pains me because

Speaker 5 i stand in solidarity with unions with teamsters brothers and sisters with other union members so this one hits me hard i don't take delight in reporting on this but teamsters you know your president sean o'brien what he did he ran to mar-a-lago with that thumbs up and he spoke at the rnc and he was telling y'all and everybody trump's gonna be great for labor i was like trump's gonna be great for labor?

Speaker 5 What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 His whole life was ripping off labor and screwing people. That's literally Trump's entire MO, screwing labor, hating unions.
Well, surprise, surprise. What happened on Tuesday?

Speaker 5 The National Labor Relations Board's powerful, well-respected general counsel, Abruzzo, she got fired by Trump. Unlawfully, I might add.
Also, Donald Trump ousted NLRB member Gwen Wilcox unlawfully.

Speaker 5 They fired her, despite the law forbidding firing board members, absent neglect or malfeasance. And the reason they fired her, by the way, she was the first black female member of the NLRB.

Speaker 5 Now the NLRB is deadlocked for the entire term, so the unions can't advocate for even the formation of unions. The union busters love this.
And Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos,

Speaker 5 Donald Trump's broligarchs, the people who were invited to the inauguration, who sat even in front of the cabinet, they've been trying to destroy the NLRB. So to all of the Teamsters,

Speaker 5 your president Sean O'Brien, who was out there powling around with Trump, what's he saying about the fact that Trump just gutted the NLRB? And by the way, here's the audio of Donald Trump and

Speaker 5 Elon Musk laughing about firing striking union workers. Like this existed before the election.
We were sharing this clip. Play it.
Just cutter.

Speaker 11 I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in and you just say, you want to quit? They go on strike.
I won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, that's okay.

Speaker 11 You're all gone. You're all gone.
So every one of you is gone. And you are the greatest.
You would be very good. Oh, you would love it.
But, you know, if you look at Argentina.

Speaker 5 And by the way, Elon Musk, who's basically running the government now, we know that Elon Musk has planted his lawyers and his team to run OMB's back end, the Office of Management and Budget.

Speaker 5 And they're out there, you know, I think in my opinion, scamming people in the federal government saying, if you resign now, we're going to pay you X amount of dollars.

Speaker 5 If you resign now, we'll give you a buyout. Trump doesn't do buyouts.
Trump is a con artist. He is a felon.
He is a adjudicated fraud. He was found liable for fraud.
Are you going to trust this guy?

Speaker 5 Anyway, here's Elon Musk Musk out there saying that he doesn't even believe in the concepts of unions because he says unions are the lords

Speaker 5 and the workers who are members of the unions are peasants. Play this clip.

Speaker 9 I agree with the idea of unions, but perhaps for a reason that is different than people may expect, which is I just don't like anything which creates kind of a lords and peasants sort of thing.

Speaker 9 And I think the unions naturally try to create negativity in a company and create a sort of lords and peasants situation.

Speaker 2 Tesla factory workers in California are working so hard they're passing out on the production line.

Speaker 5 Think about the gaslighting and the lies, talking about a lord v. peasant dynamic.
That's the broligarchs and the rest of us. The lords are Elon Musk, the Bezoses,

Speaker 5 the Zuckerbergs, that whole crew. And then the peasants is everybody else.
And now they gutted union protection.

Speaker 12 It's officially the new year and with it comes those lofty resolutions we all love to set. But here's one 2025 goal that's actually easy to crush: upgrading your wardrobe with the perfect gene.

Speaker 5 Let's just take a look as well at some of this other

Speaker 5 data that's out there.

Speaker 5 This person,

Speaker 5 I'm in a facility, I'm a facility director for a collection of churches who supported Trump. Currently have about a million dollars in projects between all of the churches through federal grants.

Speaker 5 We can't pay these bills if the money doesn't come in. We were offered this money by the federal government for various safety upgrades and maintenance.
Most of the grants are reimbursement loans.

Speaker 5 Parishioners are already texting and calling scared. I don't feel good.

Speaker 5 This person goes, my parents are conservative and own a business whose sole purpose is writing federal grants. Their entire income is now completely gone because of Donald Trump.

Speaker 5 This person goes, What the hell? Well, I agree we need to cut down on federal spending.

Speaker 5 This will immediately harm food banks, suicide hotlines, farms, and dozens of other things that are essential to this country. There's really no good way to defend Trump's federal government freeze.

Speaker 5 Even if you say we should cut back on government funding, cutting things cold turkey like this with everything is absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 5 Even Louisiana's Louisiana's far, far right, Governor Jeff Landry says we need to have clarity as to the depth.

Speaker 5 He says he goes that he's concerned that Trump's actions, quote, jeopardize financial stability.

Speaker 5 You think it jeopardizes financial stability when Trump's order looks like it is freezing federal loan and grant programs like SNAP and TANF and WIC and federal student loans and more.

Speaker 5 But folks, folks, guess what MAGA's doing? They're doing cosplay.

Speaker 5 You've got your puppy killing homeland security director, Christy Noome, dressed up like an ICE officer, doing the arrests herself with Dr. Phil.
Here, watch this.

Speaker 1 Here in New York City this morning, we are getting the dirtbanks off these trains.

Speaker 5 Don't worry also, the zero-star general, the zero of a person, Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, he announced his first action will be revoking General Mark Milley, a four-star general security clearance, and investigating Milley to potentially take away one of Milley's stars.

Speaker 5 So Hegseth, who has zero stars, is going to take away a decorated military veteran's stars.

Speaker 5 So and harm his retirement and take away his security detail because that's how Donald Trump treats the troops like absolute crap. And it absolutely crapped on the troops by putting Hegset there.

Speaker 5 And by the way, the Veteran Suicide Hotline gets funded with these grants that have now resulted in the federal and the Veteran Suicide Hotline being taken down and so many programs that fund veterans being cut because of this.

Speaker 5 And by the way, you think about some, you know, no one's even talking about this.

Speaker 5 A lot of our aid, you know, helps like kids with AIDS, kids with HIV, people even abroad that have AIDS and HIV, who are going to die.

Speaker 5 We're going to die now because of this. It's literally killing people like he did in COVID, just killing people with this stuff.

Speaker 5 And so, yeah, you're effing around and you find out the leopards are eating your faces.

Speaker 5 You voted for that. We didn't.
You voted for that. We didn't.

Speaker 5 And the people in the rest of the world who are going to be impacted, who are going to freaking die because of this or be seriously injured because of this and suffer because of this, is because of all of you.

Speaker 5 So, yeah, it's an F around and find out. You're finding out, you're screwed up, but you screwed everybody's life in the process.
And we warned you about this stuff.

Speaker 5 We warned you, and you were talking about transgender volleyball players, and that's what was getting you all angry. Your culture war issues.
You wanted to bully, marginalize the community.

Speaker 5 Shame on you for doing that. Seriously, me saying shame on you isn't enough.
