Maddow CHEERS As Wall Street Journal STUNS Musk And Trump Occupy Democrats 901K subscribers Feb 5, 2025 MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow just cheered while reporting on a new report from The Wall Street Journal that exposes Elon Musk and Donald Trump! Transcript 0:00 fugitive from Justice and illegal immigrant Elon Musk is working at Breakneck speed to dismantle the government and replace it with a fascist oligarch kleptocracy and his puppet diaper Donnie helps out with distraction after distraction and so just when we need the media the most to come in and act as the fourth estate to help Democrats and Congress push back against this Rising tide they do just the opposite CNN took it a step further by exiling Jim aosta to Siberia in order to appease Trump who didn't like how aosta was mean to him msnbc's Rachel matow however not only knows the purpose of the media in maintaining democracy it can also be used as a platform to push back in Donald Trump's quest to erase anti-discrimination Protections in the United States to erase in particular all parts of governing that include advocacy for diversity or or even reference to to 1:01 diversity equity and inclusion um the Trump White House is now having its own Tyson homosexual moment here's the headline at the guardian quote Trump's demands to drop Dei leads to deletion of unrelated Federal pages and by unrelated Federal Pages oh boy is the word unrelated doing a lot of work this is the internal revenue manual it does not promote diversity Equity or inclusion it rather serves the very important task of telling IRS employees how to collect taxes which is their job before the Trump Administration started willy-nilly control F deleting anything that had any quote Dei reference there used to be parts of this tax manual that made reference to say the inequity of the government holding on to certain taxpayer money also the need to check for the inclusion of a taxpayer identification number on a particular form but now that Trump's in there 2:00 that's not in the tax tax manual anymore they deleted those references because oh my God inclusion me don't say the White House the the Trump White House never did anything for you they are saving us all from the dangerous references to the inclusion of tax ID numbers with certain forms it was under the same anti- Dei guys that the White House removed thousands of government websites over the the last few days taking down information about everything from vaccines to substance abuse to Veterans Health Care to Census Data because you know there's somehow Dei in the census data and as dumb as that is when it comes to scrubbing magic words from government documents it's dumb and cruel and perhaps irrevocably damaging when the same logic is being used as their means of targeting people the Washington 3:00 Post headline summed it up what is I think this Washington Post headline summed up what is actually going on here pretty effectively quote Trump's Dei Purge targets federal workers who do not work in Dei I think it's I think it's pretty obvious now to everybody um that they are using Dei as a as a just a pretext they're giving everything that you know unfashionable Boogeyman label to try to avoid people in general realiz ing that what they're really doing is just wrecking the US government just knocking it down that that's that's the point of all of this whatever label they're putting on it but of course none none of the things they're trying to do will inevitably come to pass they're not omnipotent and they keep screwing up and they keep caving when people push back so for example in the wake of thousands of CDC websites being taken down days ago purportedly because of Dei concerns about those websites quote by 4:01 Monday some of the pages that had been deleted on the cdc's website had reappeared in response to intense media coverage backlash from the scientific community and concern for the Public's Health when you push back on them they cave they want to do things that are easy for them to do anything that seems hard for them to do they stop doing it's pressure works but you know what stupidity works too when they behave in particularly ostentatiously stupid ways when they behave in ways that are obviously and ostentatiously dumb it has two effects it undercuts the air of intimidation and omnipotence that they've tried to use to get their way I mean it doesn't mean that they don't have the worst and most malicious intentions they clearly do but it it gives lie to the fact that they're just not that good at any of the things they're trying to do I mean they're they're 5:00 it it it may be for example that there's there is a real white power Vibe behind all the anti- Dei stuff they are doing but if the way they're approaching it is to say in part that there can no longer be the inclusion of a self-addressed stamped envelope in any government mailing or that you're banned from talking about the equity markets because ooh Equity well that level of stupidity has the benefit of making us less intimidated by them because they're being dumb it also has the benefit of emboldening people to push back headline today at the Wall Street Journal quote Trump's gender order Sparks Revolt inside agency tasked with protecting workers quote since president Trump fired the equal employment opportunity commission leadership last week the agency's new acting chair has instructed staff to change the agency's procedures and materials to reflect only two sexes 6:00 multiple EEOC attorneys and other staff have warned acting chair Andrea Lucas that they cannot comply with Trump's executive order without breaking federal law the EEOC enforces title seven of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits sex discrimination in the workplace a 2020 US Supreme Court decision says the definition of sex discrimination includes sexual orientation and gender identity so here's a clear case in which a stupidity problem has arisen here right this is an agency that is charged under statute with enforcing a particular federal law the Trump Administration is telling them well Trump is now demanding that you break that law what are the people who work there supposed to do you guessed it quote some agency employees are openly revolting quote an EEOC administrative judge emailed acting director Lucas on Monday cop in in most 7:00 EEOC staff the email said quote the tactics you are employing and the actions you are you have taken in lock step with this new Administration are illegal and unconstitutional in a reference to Trump's billionaire adviser Elon Musk the judge wrote to Lucas quote if upon reflection you feel like now would be a good time to take a vacation and resign from your position please reply all to this email and put I'd like to occupy Mars in the subject line in other words you know no we're not doing these illegal things you are telling us to do this is why mattow is one of America's greatest journalists she does more than report she actually does even more than confront she reveals how and where power is weak she tells her audience why it's important to push back and how effective it can be and sure it's only a matter of time before the Trump Administration tries to quash 8:00 NBC Andor get matow off the network but it's an empty threat because if mat goes off on her own she'll do just fine she'll get just as big an audience as she has on MSNBC and yeah I know podcasting hasn't worked out for Megan Kelly but that's only because she's a bubble-headed mean girl trying to make it in a man's misogynistic World matow on the other hand survived air America she'll continue pushing back and fighting onward so there's not much president muskmelon and diaper Donnie can really do so in the meantime push back I mean I know somewhere somehow there's got to be an Alum of the Seven Sisters working for some State Attorney General somewhere you guys need to get together and figure out how you can arrest Elon Musk on state charges that'll take care of him and in the meantime don't forget to make fun of them because indeed they are stupid I'm Anthony Vincent Gallow for occupied Democrats
