Chapter 1: Why are Americans confronting their representatives?
Donald Trump may be destroying our government, our economy. He may be taking away people's Medicaid. People are pissed. Democrats, Republicans, independents showing up at these town halls and letting the politicians know how livid they are at Elon Musk, getting access to their private data and destroying key federal government agencies. But folks,
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are going on an adventure together. They're gonna search Fort Knox for some gold, everybody. It will be televised. Here, play this clip.
We're actually going to Fort Knox to see if the gold is there, because maybe somebody stole the gold.
For those listening on audio, you had Donald Trump seated in the Oval Office next to French President Emmanuel Macron, who's looking at Donald Trump like he's literally a crazy person, but a crazy evil person as well. French President Emmanuel Macron showed up to basically confront Donald Trump about everything that Trump is doing when it comes to attacking Europe and NATO and
and Ukraine earlier in the day before that meeting took place. The United States officially joined, I think, the access of evil, you know, what we used to be against. Yes, the United States joined Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and Hungary in opposing a resolution condemning Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Yeah, not only did they oppose it, I mean, they could have abstained.
They opposed the resolution and they were in the group with North Korea, Russia, Belarus and Hungary. How insulting can you get? Then Donald Trump in the Oval Office with French President Emmanuel Macron has asked, what's your rationale for siding with an access of evil against your allies? Here, play this clip.
Can you explain the rationale in having the U.S. vote against the U.N. resolution that Ukraine proposed and also the U.S. proposed?
I would rather not explain it now, but it's sort of self-evident, I think. I would rather not explain it. It's rather self evident. Is it self evident because you support Vladimir Putin? That would seem to make some sense. And then Donald Trump tried to attack Europe and attack France. in front of French President Emmanuel Macron. But Macron was ready.
And as Donald Trump spewed disinformation, I just want you to watch as Macron basically takes command and says, that's not true. Let me be very clear here and puts Trump in his place. Here, watch.

Chapter 2: Did Macron fact-check Trump during their meeting?
You're giving our medical records, our social security information, our tax information over to Elon Musk and a group of 19 to 25 year old guys he leads who call themselves big balls and who do them all of these and they do them all of these other things. And then Donald Trump goes up on stage and he says that Elon's a very caring person.
I think that we got to use the word caring when we refer to Elon here. Let's watch this.
Tremendous fraud, tremendous waste. And when you think of what it is, you know, Elon uses the expression caring. If we had people that cared, just cared a little bit when they did contracts, when they negotiated with outside vendors on behalf of the United States. That's what I'm doing now. I'm negotiating for the people of the United States. So we're doing a great job of it.
I will say we found it'll be hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud and abuse.
Okay, that's 100% false. And then just by the way, if you were finding these things, then why is it that the MAGA Republican Congress members refuse to let Elon testify before Congress? It all happens on this weirdo social media app called XNow. What are we talking about? Donald Trump posts, Elon is doing a great job, but I would like to see him get more aggressive.
Remember, we have a country to save, but ultimately to make greater than ever before, MAGA exclamation point. And then Elon Musk responds to Donald Trump, will do, Mr. President. And then he then sends that weird directive he sent over the weekend to federal employees.
Consistent with President Donald Trump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. I mean, it's not just that they're firing these federal workers, which rips people of their dignity.
But it's also the dehumanization as well, just treating human beings like absolute trash who are working on very important jobs within our government that help us. And almost disproportionately, too, we're talking about this. veterans who they are firing, because a lot of veterans work in the federal government, the spouses of veterans.
And because our armed forces people move place to place, the spouses of people in our armed forces are often considered probationary employees since they get new jobs in different states. But they've worked in the federal government and amassed years of expertise Like they're disproportionately getting fired. Disabled veterans and just hardworking people in general are getting fired.
