| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bell again. So today we're going to talk about the |
| 0:05.6 | UAW, Trump, Musk, and what happens with the filing? Okay, so if you missed it or fell asleep during it, Trump and Musk got together on |
| 0:16.4 | Twitter and chatted. The conversation was widely panned, but there was one interesting |
| 0:21.7 | development. The two were talking about firing workers. |
| 0:25.0 | And Trump said, I look at what you do, you walk in and you just say, |
| 0:30.0 | you want to quit? They go on strike. I won't mention the name of the company, but they |
| 0:35.6 | go on strike and you say, that's okay, you're all gone. You're all gone. Every one of you is gone. |
| 0:43.0 | Musk could reportedly be heard laughing and saying, yeah, but it doesn't look like he directly |
| 0:48.2 | responded. |

| 1:27.0 | and these comments suggest that employees might be fired. |
| 1:32.0 | So where does it go from here? The National Labor Relations Board |
| 1:36.4 | will investigate. If they determine Musk and Trump did something wrong, they'll |
| 1:42.0 | sue or settle with them. If they sue and it goes to court |
| 1:47.0 | and a judge decides to side with the NLRB, the penalties will be minor. This is likely to get a lot of press, but this is a long process with little potential payoff at the end. |
| 1:58.0 | Unless of course it's found that the workers need to be made whole. The one thing that did come out of this |
| 2:06.1 | is that people all over the country now know that the right to strike is protected. |
