  I really think you're going to like this episode today because
• 0:02
  it's about a Trump supporter who got screwed by Trump.
• 0:07
  This guy's name is Rodney Grundmeier.
• 0:09
  He was all in for Trump and on November 4th of 2024, he proudly
• 0:14
  posted on Facebook. Let's take out the trash
• 0:19
  together. Now.
• 0:21
  This is alongside the meme of Trump in a garbage truck.
• 0:26
  Fast forward a few months and guess what?
• 0:28
  Grundmeyer was taken out too, out of his job.
• 0:32
  Now he's asking for prayers after being laid off thanks to
• 0:37
  policies enacted by Trump, the very administration he voted
• 0:41
  for. But the best part?
• 0:43
  His own mother publicly called him out for it.
• 0:47
  Now, before we get into this absolutely amazing story, quick
• 0:53
  reminder, 80% of you listening right now or watching aren't
• 0:57
  subscribed to the show. That means you keep coming back,
• 1:00
  but you're not following the show.
• 1:01
  So hit that subscribe button or follow button on whatever
• 1:03
  platform you're on. And my promise is that I'll keep
• 1:06
  doing my part in bringing you the best stories every single
• 1:09
  day. So who is Rodney Grunmeyer?
• 1:12
  He's just your average conservative voter who thought
• 1:14
  Trump and Musk were going to stick it to the woke leftist
• 1:18
  Marxists and not to him. He supported their crusade
• 1:22
  against so-called government waste right up until the moment
• 1:26
  he realized his paycheck was part of that waste.
• 1:29
  And on Facebook he wrote, Thanks Elon Musk, I am now out of work.
• 1:34
  You can practically hear it. He laid out his tragic back
• 1:37
  story. He had struggled to find stable
• 1:39
  work for years, bouncing between jobs that kept disappearing
• 1:43
  thanks to corporate buyouts. But in October 2024, he got a
• 1:47
  break. He finally landed a steady gig
• 1:49
  at the IRS. This is the agency that Trump
• 1:52
  and Musk had openly vowed to slash into oblivion with a
• 1:56
  chainsaw. Yet somehow, Rodney didn't see
• 1:59
  it coming at all. Then the hammer dropped.
• 2:02
  He and his fellow new hires were informed by the IRS director
• 2:06
  themselves that they're being fired due to a reduction in
• 2:10
  force initiative from the White House.
• 2:14
  Basically, the administration he voted for decided he wasn't
• 2:18
  important. His job wasn't worth keeping.
• 2:20
  Now. Rodney explained that the time
• 2:22
  he can be worse. He and his wife had just bought
• 2:24
  a house in 2023, and after losing a previous job, he had
• 2:29
  already been forced to file for mortgage forbearance.
• 2:33
  Now he was staring down unemployment again, along with
• 2:35
  70,000 other freshly discarded and fired federal workers, all
• 2:40
  suddenly competing for the same shrinking pool of jobs.
• 2:43
  But Rodney didn't want your sympathy.
• 2:45
  No, no, he wanted prayers. Pray for this guy, he made it
• 2:48
  clear, he said. I'm not looking for any
• 2:51
  compensation, any handouts, but I'm asking in return for prayers
• 2:55
  for me and the other unemployed federal workers who all have
• 2:59
  families that we're trying to support.
• 3:02
  It gets even worse. His mom enters the chat.
• 3:05
  GAIL Grundmeyer, who had 0 patience for his nonsense.
• 3:11
  In a Facebook comment that deserves to be framed in a
• 3:14
  museum, she wrote. I have an idea.
• 3:17
  Maybe you and your Republican family and friends who voted for
• 3:21
  the orange buffoon and President Musk can help you pay your house
• 3:25
  note, utilities, car note, car insurance, health insurance,
• 3:29
  food and any other bills you have.
• 3:33
  So basically she said you voted for this mask.
• 3:36
  Now go out and ask your MAGA buddies for a bailout.
• 3:41
  But she didn't stop. She reminded him that Trump and
• 3:44
  Musk had surrounded themselves with very young people with no
• 3:49
  security clearance and had essentially handed them
• 3:51
  classified government documents to play with.
• 3:54
  She said some of our loved ones, which includes family and
• 3:57
  friends, now have a target on their backs.
• 4:00
  But despite the roasting, she still supported him and had a
• 4:05
  motherly moment, she said. Right this moment, I'm worried
• 4:08
  about you. I'm sure your mind is going 10
• 4:10
  miles an hour and I wish I could give you a hug.
• 4:14
  Sweet, right? But until you realize it's
• 4:15
  basically her saying bless your heart you absolute fool.
• 4:19
  The irony was too good. Rodney, who just months ago was
• 4:23
  calling Biden voters garbage, was now realizing that the
• 4:26
  actual garbage being thrown out was him and his job.
• 4:29
  But if you think this was a one time fluke, think again.
• 4:32
  Another Trump voter, an ex government employee, took to
• 4:35
  social media with an equally sad little tale he wrote directly to
• 4:39
  Trump. Hello Sir, I am one of the
• 4:42
  probationary employees terminated by DOGE at 9:00 AM on
• 4:45
  February 14th. I voted for you Sir three times
• 4:49
  and I still support you right. The guy was fired by the very
• 4:54
  policies he supported but still believed in.
• 4:58
  You almost have to respect the sheer commitment to being played
• 5:01
  by this guy. But he didn't stop there, he
• 5:03
  said. I was encouraged by the Doge to
• 5:06
  see that they were getting rid of waste.
• 5:08
  Government spending. I support that too.
• 5:11
  My termination letter said I was being let go for performance
• 5:14
  reasons. I know that's not true.
• 5:16
  Government waste was fine until he was declared waste.
• 5:20
  Now it's all a big misunderstanding.
• 5:22
  Surely Trump will step in to fix it, right?
• 5:24
  Get him his job back. But Trump didn't do anything
• 5:27
  about it. He's not coming to save you.
• 5:30
  His whole plan was to gut the federal government.
• 5:33
  And this phenomenon that Trump support is realizing that their
• 5:36
  dear leaders budget cuts apply to them is spreading over on the
• 5:41
  our conservative subreddit. Even some of the faithful are
• 5:44
  starting to ask questions. They still insist that they love
• 5:47
  Trump said. Why the F are we firing National
• 5:52
  Park Service and Forest Service workers?
• 5:55
  Good question. The combined budget for both
• 5:58
  agencies was about $10.5 billion, which is basically
• 6:02
  pocket change compared to the Defense Department's $695
• 6:06
  billion. Cutting these jobs wasn't about
• 6:10
  saving money, it was just blind government destruction going
• 6:14
  forward. And one Trump supporter even
• 6:16
  admitted these are people who manage and protect the very
• 6:19
  places that make these activities possible.
• 6:22
  Laying them off is flat out idiotic.
• 6:25
  Yes, you're very correct. Don't lay off people if they're
• 6:30
  going to support our parks. You're so close to understanding
• 6:34
  now. Just take one more step and
• 6:36
  realize who you elected and what they were going to do.
• 6:40
  And then these federal agencies that we all love and cherish,
• 6:43
  like the parks departments, they're getting gutted.
• 6:46
  Economists have pointed out that firing 10s of thousands of
• 6:49
  federal workers doesn't even save meaningful money, it just
• 6:52
  destabilizes communities, kills spending, and forces more people
• 6:55
  onto unemployment. But Musk and Trump don't care
• 6:59
  about that. They got to pose for the cameras
• 7:01
  and claim they were cutting waste.
• 7:03
  Never mind that the only thing getting cut was people's
• 7:06
  livelihoods, people's jobs. They're out of work.
• 7:10
  Their families are suffering now.
• 7:12
  And let's not forget the most poetic part of all this.
• 7:15
  Rodney Grundmeyer, the man who cheered on Trump's so-called war
• 7:19
  on garbage, is now the garbage to Trump and Musk.
• 7:25
  That's what Trump's policies have decided.
