Elon RUINS Veteran's Life, Makes him cry. · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:00
  I want you to see how filthy and disgusting this is.
• 0:03
  What Elon Musk and Doge and Trump have done is absolutely
• 0:10
  unthinkable. I want you to listen to this
• 0:12
  clip. I'm Eric Rodriguez.
• 0:15
  I'm a disabled Iraq War veteran. Take your time.
• 0:24
  Take your time, man. A VA worker, a proud SEIU union
• 0:28
  stored representing Illinois. I proudly serve my concert now.
• 0:33
  I proudly serve my fellow veterans.
• 0:36
  All right, so that's a veteran who served this country.
• 0:38
  They should be treated well by the government, the people that
• 0:43
  they fought for, the people that they gave up their lives for and
• 0:47
  gave up their families for. They should be treated well,
• 0:49
  right? But right now, the Trump
• 0:51
  administration is coming to cut the VA front lane workers and
• 0:56
  let billionaires steal our healthcare.
• 0:59
  You can't get the VA, man. That's a lifeline for so many
• 1:02
  people. Not just with healthcare, but
• 1:04
  mental healthcare. You can't do it.
• 1:08
  Veterans, we're under attack. Last week, 1400 workers got
• 1:12
  fired illegally. 22 of them were my colleagues at the VA at Heinz
• 1:17
  VA Hospital. Some of them didn't even get a
• 1:20
  real notice. You got to give them a notice,
• 1:24
  you got to give them a little bit of notice, give them a
• 1:26
  chance to regroup and get their lives back because you can't
• 1:30
  just fire somebody. That doesn't make any sense,
• 1:33
  Especially a veteran or numerous veterans, 1000 veterans.
• 1:37
  That's dirty. That's disgusting.
• 1:41
  All we got was this, an e-mail with access where the gates
• 1:44
  should be a done day. So an anonymous e-mail with no
• 1:51
  date. Scum.
• 1:53
  That is scummy. I've been in situations like
• 1:56
  this before where they do these kind of things and I know those
• 1:59
  people in their scumbags. Poor guy.
• 2:07
  That's how little they think of people and are veterans in this
• 2:10
  country. Yep, that.
• 2:11
  Serve our country. They're slashing staff, crushing
• 2:15
  unions, and selling out the VA. For what?
• 2:24
  Poor guy. So millionaires can make more
• 2:28
  money while veterans sit out of the wait list.
• 2:30
  Who? Worse?
• 2:32
  They'll get no treatment. Listen my one of my relatives is
• 2:38
  a veteran and they were on wait lists for procedures for months
• 2:43
  because the VAS are so understaffed and there's so
• 2:46
  little of them. They got to treat the veterans
• 2:49
  better. You know this.
• 2:51
  I don't know why they're firing people from the VA, the people
• 2:54
  that are helping other veterans, That's scum.
• 2:59
  Our president was asleep by Musk was at the wheel.
• 3:01
  Do you know what happens to a service manager when they fall
• 3:04
  asleep when they're on duty? Bad things.
• 3:07
  Veterans don't trust him. He's not one of us.
• 3:10
  He's not, he never. He's not a veteran, either of
• 3:13
  them. We're not about to sit back and
• 3:15
  take the SEIU. We're fighting back.
• 3:19
  That's important. They're fighting back.
• 3:22
  They know how to fight. Don't mess with them, dude.
• 3:25
  We're. Organizing and we're taking.
• 3:26
  Action. That's what they should do.
• 3:29
  We're not going to back down on the South Side of Chicago.
• 3:34
  We're standing up business. It's time for you to do the
• 3:38
  same. We've done our duty.
• 3:41
  They've. Done their duty, they should be
• 3:43
  taken care of. 100% whatever they need they should be taken
• 3:47
  care of no questions asked. That's such a scummy thing to
• 3:51
  do. Now we're asking the
• 3:53
  administration and Republicans to do theirs.
• 3:57
  You serve this country, you know how to take it.
• 4:01
  Take the fight to them. They've got to, they've got to
• 4:05
  fight them. They've got to fight them in
• 4:07
  court, they have to fight them and they have to fight for their
• 4:09
  jobs back. And they also have to fight so
• 4:10
  the Viva can be funded properly so all of these veterans can get
• 4:17
  the care that's necessary. Because when you come back from
• 4:21
  serving, if you're not the same person, you're a changed person
• 4:25
  and you need help sometimes. And these people might need
• 4:29
  help. And now there's 1400 or more
• 4:33
  employees at the VA that are gone that can't help people.
• 4:36
  And that's just a scumbag move, man.
• 4:40
  What a loser. And we know how to win.
• 4:44
  Thank you all. Right.
• 4:47
  So I think I know what you thinking right now.
• 4:51
  This guy's going through a lot and of course he should fight
• 4:55
  back. They should all fight back.
• 4:57
  They should lawyer up and do whatever they can to fight this
• 5:01
  as fast as possible. Get their jobs back, get their
• 5:04
  livelihoods back. It's not like these people don't
• 5:06
  have families. They have families, they have
• 5:08
  kids, they have mortgage, they have car payments, they have
• 5:12
  insurance payments, All those things that we're taken care of
• 5:16
  because of the job that they had at the VA that's gone.
• 5:20
  What are they going to do? They're going to go for
• 5:21
  unemployment for a little while. Yeah, sure, they can get
• 5:24
  unemployment, but that only lasts for so long and it's not a
• 5:28
  lot of money. I mean, think about if you have
• 5:32
  a mortgage payment right now, how much money is that?
• 5:34
  Also add on to that your vehicle note, your insurance.
• 5:41
  Food is super expensive right now.
• 5:45
  It's just it's insurmountable. They should not have done this.
• 5:48
  This is a scumbag move and they should not have cut the VA no
• 5:53
  matter what doge thinks. I mean I I don't, I don't care
• 5:57
  about how effective they think they are coming at the VA with a
• 6:03
  chainsaw. You don't touch the VA.
• 6:04
  You don't touch Social Security. Those are two things that you
• 6:07
  don't touch, especially the VA. Don't mess with the people that
• 6:11
  allow you to be free in this country.
• 6:14
  Do not do that. This guy's got a point when he
• 6:17
  was talking about he was holding up his paper and it's just a
• 6:21
  faceless number, right? This is he's not a person.
• 6:25
  According to Doge and according to Elon Musk, and according to
• 6:29
  those that have fired him, he's not a person.
• 6:32
  He got fired because he was excess.
• 6:35
  It's the number, just a number. He doesn't want to be a number.
• 6:38
  He wants to be a person again. He's not the military anymore.
• 6:41
  He's part of the group of veterans that come back from
• 6:46
  serving to keep you and me free. And this guy, all he wants is to
• 6:51
  be treated as equal as everybody else doesn't just want to be
• 6:55
  fired by some nameless, faceless bureaucrat or from doge.
• 7:00
  Who would want that? This poor guy, man, 1400 work
• 7:05
  has got fired. That's so many people and what
• 7:09
  they don't realize, and I think they do realize this and This is
• 7:12
  why Trump has been hitting at a recession recently.
• 7:17
  Is it all these people that they fire, they don't have the money
• 7:19
  to spend in the economy because the money that they would put
• 7:23
  into the economy would pay taxes and would pay for goods and
• 7:28
  services. That money is in their pockets
• 7:31
  now, so it's not being given to other people so they can give to
• 7:36
  other people and keep the economy propped up.
• 7:38
  That's not happening anymore because not just 1400 VA
• 7:41
  workers, but thousands of workers across South America,
• 7:45
  government workers, government, federal employees are being let
• 7:49
  go by DOGE. So these people have a right.
• 7:53
  Eric has it right here. They're going to fight back.
• 7:56
  We should all fight back. We should all tell them what we
• 7:58
  think because this is a scumbag move and they should have never
• 8:02
  messed with veterans. If you agree with me, leave it
• 8:07
  in a comment. If you don't agree with me,
• 8:08
