In January, Donald Trump visited the Ford Dearborn Truck Plant, local 600. And as you all also probably know, there was a worker at that plant that day who famously told Mr. Trump exactly what he thought of him. [00:00:24] He also said, you're fired. Well, this ain't the Apprentice. Well, much to the chagrin of President Donald Trump and quite frankly, other supporters of Trump, [00:00:41] the Ford auto worker who heckled the president by calling him a pedophile protector last month has not been fired. And I will allow it. I will allow it. Now, if you're unfamiliar with what we're talking about. Last month, while touring a Ford F-150 assembly plant in Dearborn, Michigan, [00:01:01] an auto worker by the name of Thomas Sabula called Trump a pedophile protector. Which which is what he is. I mean, that's what he was engaging in for a while. And Trump responded to the heckling by saying, F you. [00:01:17] Although he actually said the word, which I can't say right now, and you're fired. While flipping him off, we had to blur out Trump's hand because he's giving him the middle finger. Okay, so here's what I thought about it at the time. I thought it was a perfect representation of what President Trump thinks [00:01:35] about the ordinary American worker. And I think his actions and his policies have made that abundantly clear. But that vile gesture to an American worker helps you kind of visualize what he actually thinks about Americans. [00:01:50] That's what I think. I mean, the worker was screaming at him, pedophile protector. Yeah. Because he is he is a pedophile protector. No, he wants to engage in the cover up. I mean, I think that's been abundantly clear from day one. And what does that cover up about? It's about covering up for a pedophile and his coconspirators. [00:02:11] Now, if you notice the date on that video, it was on January 14th, and at that point it appeared as though the Trump administration was not going to release the Epstein files. So there was a lot of rage toward Trump over that issue. That's why people were calling him a pedophile protector. [00:02:27] And, at the time, the white House tried to spin things and defend Trump, flipping the bird at a worker, an American worker, a lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, [00:02:43] and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response. But none of that was true at all, because Cibola was, look, he was initially suspended, okay? But the UAW, you know, the union had his back because that's what unions do. [00:03:01] They have the workers backs and they defend them. So writing in a statement last month, UAW said that the auto worker at the Dearborn Truck plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union, the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, [00:03:18] and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job. The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language, safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member. [00:03:36] Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone, including the president of the United States. So they kept their word because UAW VP Laura Dickerson has announced that she is back to work. [00:03:52] No disciplinary marks on his record whatsoever. And I love that. I love that. That's because, look, you have to understand the power imbalance here. We're talking about the president of the United States. Okay. So a factory worker called you a name you didn't like. [00:04:10] Like, just be an adult and ignore it. But okay, he responded to it. But what's amazing to me is that people wanted this guy to be fired. Why? Why? He made his voice heard. He said what he thinks about Donald Trump. That's fine, by the way. [00:04:25] I'd have no problem with him doing the same when it comes to any scruples he might have with the Democratic president. It is his right to not like what the president is up to. I don't want his livelihood robbed from him because he offended or hurt the feelings of the president. [00:04:40] Come on. But what I especially love about this story is it's a perfect it's a perfect example of what a strong union provides to their workers and it's protection.
