ep 012 - NO KINGS! - Main segment

how you doing Todd i am doing doing all right i'm doing good yeah yeah that's it we're up we're streaming we're all We're

all working we're streaming our faces are on camera and uh we can start this

over this is our take two for today's episode

we got about five minutes into the You know what i think I'm going to leave the the beginning in on the recording so

people can see that you know we have fun with it you're okay with it yeah no I I

no reason not to peel behind the curtain on us we I mean other than you might not want like what you see i mean I mean in

that case you know you can go ahead and listen over on Spotify and you don't have to see our faces or the slideshow

you can just listen to us talking so and we do have a special slideshow up today we've got the uh No King slides a

handful of photos I took from the protest I was at on Saturday um and then a bunch of stuff Todd and I found on the

internet yes uh large crowds uh cool signs anything that made us laugh or

impressed us that's what you're seeing right now if you're watching on YouTube yep yep and uh we're both on camera

again this week and uh I was trying to figure out uh because I know that we had

issues with uh Google Meet before and I was trying to see if I can figure out how to get how to get uh things to work

better over on on Messenger but it it didn't want to work so I was like you know [ __ ] it we'll just go ahead and use

Google Meet it sounds better anyhow I was I was more concerned with the visuals of it i was you know it wasn't

wanting to work with uh the sounds and everything and I just I wanted everything to work perfectly and we got

all that working and then it uh uh it wasn't it wasn't picking up the sound of

Doug and he were listening to my responses to everything Doug was saying and he couldn't hear Doug at all which

you could you could use that for some fun uh improv practice at home just take Todd's responses and fill in your own

fill in fill in the blank yeah it's it's like it's like ADHD mad libs mad libs

are like carved against humanity yeah well thank you so um as I was saying I

was at the No Kings uh protest in my my local community out here in Port Orchard Washington um had a bigger turnout than

the hands-off protests no doubt about it um there was even two separate events that were in close proximity to each

other and I went back to the same place I went for last month and I was back

even I was at the tail end of it again but I was pushed back another block further than I was last time oh wow so

we were you know we we definitely had more people show up this uh this month

than we did last month and looking around the country all reports suggest that we we far out exceeded um what we

did last year or last month rather at the no hands or the hands-off protest no hands kings off i don't I don't know i'm

getting all confused no hands oh there it is i was like where's my phone off with the king's hands that's what it is

yeah but even even in our just just in Washington state alone though we look at

a kidsap son reporting on 80 plus no kings rallies were planned and I didn't even register for mine this year or this

month i I just went I honestly I wasn't sure if I was going to go um just the

way things had been going um I didn't feel like there was a lot of momentum for a protest and then bam a week ago

Trump just sets everything off again and I went from am I really going to go to

man I have to go like what other choice do I have it's it's it's getting so bad

the way that they're behaving in LA and the police you know they're they're creating spectacles out of ICE

apprehensions i I wanted to go but then I remembered the last time I watched a a

peaceful protest and people were being like shot at and you know and and beat

up i was like you know what i'm in I'm there in spirit i I I don't I don't want

to have to deal with the Seattle PD and and and thankfully in my little neck

of the woods it was another Yeah another peaceful protest i mean it really was if I would have gone out to Port Orchard I

probably would have been okay but you know coming to Seattle for a any kind of protest of any kind i mean as far back

as like the was it the the WTO riots that happened I had friends who were

down there and they said that uh they were they were shooting like tear gas into the into the crowd and people of

people who weren't even part of the uh of the of the protest they were just people commuting

you know walking to the next bus stop you know and apparently tear gasing we we'll get to it in a little bit but

apparently tear gas did get used in Seattle uh this weekend oh I have no idea but if it's anything like with LA

it's just literally the police are starting it in order to create a a

situation i mean uh Jacob Sberof was on MSNBC this weekend at the LA uh

demonstration and he was literally you know in the group of protesters interviewing people when the police

moved their horses in and started moving people's bodies with horses and then just started shooting

uh tear gas into the crowd and he's like he literally made a point of saying "Hey

this was peaceful this was there was nothing wrong going on here." until the police just started shooting tear gas

and moving in the horses like they're they're literally doing what they can to

subvert the protest and but but the real important thing

with with this protest this weekend is the numbers um we're kind of going to compare the numbers of protesters versus

the numbers at Trump's little birthday parade um we were talking about that before we realized the technical issue

um Yeah yeah i I'm really sorry about that Doug i don't even know i mean every

every time I do this setup I I have to do something different because it never stays the same i can't sit there and

just save the settings and it will be the same next week it It's never the same it always I always have to do

something to get it working so but but we were we were enjoying the uh

Todd was telling me about the squeaky tanks yes no the the the squeak you heard in the video was real it wasn't

like a a sound effect someone grabbed off of YouTube or or Tik Tok it was like

legitimately and the only tanks I saw were the Sherman tanks i didn't see any other tanks so I was thinking that the

tanks we've been seeing for the past several weeks on the backs of trains were not going to Washington DC they

were saying they were going to Washington DC but I didn't see any clips of the Abrams tanks so yeah there I

definitely did see a clip that had uh more modern tanks than the Shermans because they were they like like I said

before um they were doing it in uh eras every every section of the parade was a

new era which uh they apparently actually played fortunate sun while they

were doing the Vietnam era oh of course which is like you guys realize that's an antivietnam war song right like

yeah people people uh people are you know

the his supporters are a special kind of dumb you know they they they don't um

Yeah I don't I Yeah they're very credulous when it comes There are people that don't trust anything they hear except they'll trust everything Trump

says it's kind of it it it wrecks my brain to consider how their minds work

but uh I was trying to find some accurate numbers on how many people actually showed up to the Trump parade

and of course the Trump regime is all saying 250,000 like they have this number cooked up it's 250,000 on the

250th birthday from Project America 250 they're like "Hey you know that sounds

like a good number we'll use that number." you know people won't know any different right and it looked like maybe

there was t a few tens of thousands like I I I I

really haven't seen enough to say and that's I've seen I've seen 20k i've seen

15 i've seen 10 it's It's not as much as as uh Fox is saying it's definitely not

as much as what he is saying um it's not like the Trump admin has ever lied about crowd size before oh yeah that's that's

our go-to it's like oh yeah yeah no I'm really I'm I'm nine and a half in I'm nine and a half inches and you know two

and a half pounds those alternative facts of [ __ ] okay cool yeah but uh

yeah um it just every time I see a video of somebody who's spouting how great Trump

is and how how we're the ones who are being misled

by the the mass media you know mainstream media you guys you know shouldn't be listening to the mainstream

media like yeah you listen to Fox News and Fox News whether you like it or not is mainstream media so I mean it's it's

pretty much the sugar pop of media at this point like it's it really is the

it's it is it is mainstream for dummies it's it's news and name only

right it's it's propaganda it's it's it's MAGA propaganda it's always been ever since ever since they announced uh

W as the winner of of that election i I've I've always considered them as as

misinformation so Oh yeah i mean they were really started back in 9596 but they didn't really propaganda

machine they didn't really take off as a propaganda machine until until Bush was in office junior Yeah w right and he got

all his uh because basically a bunch basically Fox

News became like you would retire you leave the Bush administration and go work for Fox News is basically how the

cycle would go like anybody like pretty much every single person that worked as a Bush like

press secretary went on to host a show on Fox now that's not to say Democratic

press secretaries haven't gone on to MSNBC or whatever yeah but but Fox

pioneered that i mean really just like every single one they'd leave the White House and go have a show yeah i You know

what I did yesterday that I I I thought I' I didn't think I'd ever do i downloaded Truth Social and set up an

account because I wanted to see what people were saying did you post our show on there i did not and I I'm I'm going

to be a lurker on there i'm not going to be posting okay uh because I I I would

like to be able to go in there and see what's being said without having uh you know my account being like shadowbanned

and and whatever else will happen like not being able to see things so I'll

when we're offline I'll tell you the username and you'll have a good chuckle but uh um but uh yeah but uh yeah no

it's uh I I was just because I wanted to see if if Donnie was uh you know like he

was rage tweeting or whatever you know I wanted to see what he was saying about yesterday's uh parade you know he looked

the video I saw of him he looked I don't know if he was falling asleep yes

there's people are saying he is falling asleep or he's very very depressed or a combination of the two

i mean there was there was one where he looked like he was sobbing he looked like he was just like "Oh there's nobody

here." [Music] And someone was like "It looks like his

wife is like like trying to not show emotion but she looks like she's trying

to stifle some laughter." Well I I was going to say she looked the happiest I'd ever seen her and she never she never

cracks a smile ever she's like a stone [ __ ] statue right of like some e

eastn European [ __ ] woman who could possibly be a man so

possibly I I'm not sure i think it's more likely

she's a man than than than uh Mrs obama you know remember how people are always

saying that you know she looks like she has an Adam's apple look at those arms she looks like a dude well and remember

when she was criticized just for bearing her arms just for having sleeveless dresses like And then we get Melania

who's literally been a porn star nobody cares oh and everyone thinks she's [ __ ] gorgeous and like maybe

it's because of her time with with with uh the Donald but she just looks like

she's the most unhappy person I've ever seen on TV anywhere ever always has this

stern like will you shut the [ __ ] up look on her face you know and uh you know she just

doesn't look happy she looks like she's she's there for the money and right always looking to like she's

contractually obligated to be there that's those are the words I was looking for contractually obligated to be there

and you can always tell when someone doesn't for example the people who were marching in that parade did not look

like they wanted to be there they were not they were not marching they were walking no that's something I was going

to get to in a bit yeah they the there's a lot of thought out there that the milit that the army specifically was uh

kind of giving a middle finger to Trump yeah with their lack of Yeah yeah i've seen a number of of of

military people uh do videos saying and doing commentary while watching the

parade saying "These people aren't marching these guys are doing a silent protest how can I just walk they're just

walking they're not stepping in They're not stepping in time they're not in sync with everybody else in the group they're

all just kind of meandering down the street you know yeah and I I noticed it right away um I

was like "Oh they're their hands are all over the place and they're just like they just look like a group of people

walking they're not there's literally no rhythm or anything." And I was like "That's this is great." Yeah yeah and

like I said I I the the last one I saw was a she was a like a sergeant like a

drill sergeant even and she's like you know if these were my guys they would be getting a talking to cuz there that was

not a march that was you know we're all in our we're all in our in our fatigues and we're walking down the street behind

a uh some heavy artillery but we're not marching

yeah yeah they were they were definitely and there was like apparently a guy that was like holding a a drone over his head

i saw that oh my god i don't know what that was about i think he broke it i don't know

oh man but uh but what I was wanting to get to

right when we were uh realized our technical issue before is I was about to ask Todd about the three and a half%

rule um I don't remember if I brought this up on the Hands-Off podcast or not you probably but do you know what the

three and a half% rule is Todd i do not know off the top of my head what that is or even what it means yeah so it has to

do with uh with movements political movements and basically uh it it comes

from a so a really great person to check this out from is Erica Chennowith she does a TED talk on it um and she's

written some articles on it um she's a professor of the first amendment and academic dean for faculty engagement at

the Harvard Kennedy School which is the school that put out this study to begin with um and so it it it shows that

uh when you get over three and a half% of a population to engage in a movement that

movement has never failed to create change so that's that's the one big finding the

other big finding of this is that research shows that nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed

conflicts so basically it was a study of of the I want to say it's primarily the

20th century but it may have included the 19th century as well but comparing how different movements

achieved successful change when it comes to like a a military uprising versus a

peaceful protest movement and a lot of times military uprisings are short-lived

successes whereas an actual movement that gets more than three and a half% of

the population involved to actually activate and engage um they have never

failed and that's only three and a half% um so with hands off I think we on the

high end the estimates were about 5 million I think for the hands-off protests okay and and there's currently

340 million people in the US um so five

out of 340 is is only like one and a half% um

what according to um the alt so a lot of the estimates right

now from like the ACLU are also in the 5 million range however according to the alternate na to

the alt national park service which you know you can dispute their

numbers but they reportedly have they well let me just read what they had for

you um if I can pull up pull them up on Facebook again like we messaged LA

mentioned last week if you aren't following the Alt National Park Service on your favorite social media platform

you better get on it because these are people that are plugged in oh I had I love I love it when you have

something on Facebook and then Facebook decides it's time for you to just go back to the homepage and see it's time to re to refresh what what you're

looking at yeah this is why and I was even on their page i wasn't even on my own feed oh man well what happens is I

mean anytime you find something you want to come back to always hit the save button because otherwise it will just

refresh and then take you to whatever is more current so so how the Alt National Park Service

came up with their number was that they had over 140,000 coalition members attend events across the country at

least one at nearly every protest many traveled far and got to see some amazing

small towns along the way local authorities provided crowd estimates estimates which were then reported back

and compiled for the final count so that's how Alt National Park Service is claiming they did it they claimed that

they have over 140,000 coalition members at events and that these this is toting

uh crowd estimates from local authorities the final number that they came out with was 13.14

million across 2300 events oh wow that's

a lot of people so doing the math on that 13.14 divided by 340.1

that is 3.86%

that's over three and a half so if these numbers are correct we [ __ ] got there like now it has to be

sustained it can't just be oh at a high water mark you had three and a half% therefore your your your movement's

going to succeed um it's not a magic number in that way but if if the three

and a half percent that were out there are as engaged as you know you would think they must be to have gone out

there in the first place and if they each represent at least one other person that thinks like them but didn't but

wasn't able to go like the way you weren't able to go right like if I know

my wife also thinks like me and she wasn't able to go so if even if we only represented one

other person now we're at like 7% so if we can maintain this plus this

three and a half plus percent of engagement then the ch then some sort of change is

inevitable right and that's that's the thing that's extremely optimistic about this about this protest because I I was

super fired up about the hands-off protest but in the wake of it people are like "All right let's plan another one." And

it was just like is this going to be are people going to get protest fatigue are people going to be worn out by it are

people going to be put off by you know is the Trump regime going to successfully turn people away from

wanting to protest with their with their big shows i hope people never stop protesting with this guy because well

they certainly haven't it's it's only more now it's only you know if if if the numbers are correct by the National Park

Service and more than doubled from one month to the next so I I think they're

doing the right thing not trying to have these every single week or every two weeks um I think doing another big one

uh in July or August is is a great way to do it um but it's just I I do think it's

turning people's minds it's it's it's giving Republicans that are stuck supporting Trump somewhere to turn and

I'm specifically talking about like the people in office they they can say "Oh hey there are people here that will

protect me i don't have to worry about the crazy Trump people."

So so we did it we achieved the three and a half percent on this protest can we keep it going we got to just

everybody's got to stay engaged keep calling your your your representative keep calling your your your uh senator

um even if you're in a blue state like we are um you want to make it absolutely

clear that you're expecting to see Democrats do something make it absolutely clear leave them a voicemail

leave them an email hey you know I don't find I find this unacceptable please make sure you're doing everything you

can like Senator Padilla was was shoved out of a saw press conference i saw he

was just you need to be calling your senators and say you got to stand up for your fellow senator and

I mean they they they forced him out i mean they like grabbed him and like you know I have a question you know I'm so

and so and they're like they just pushed him out and they tried to just give a completely alternative re accounting of

events to the press rush stage tried to say that they didn't know who he was he

didn't identify himself when the video shows him identifying himself yep and he even talks about how he was let in by

the federal agents

so getting back to the uh no kings protests on Trump's birthday um

I'm going to look now to an NPR article three takeaways from the military parade and no kings protests

so the US Army celebrated its 250th anniversary on Saturday with a massive military parade in Washington DC against

the backdrop of political division and protest savaging President Trump rippling across the country

trump who 79th birthday God he's old corresponded with the Army anniversary

had long dreamed of holding such a display of America's military might the parade stirred up controversy for what

opponents view as a politicization of the nation's armed forces and a break from US democratic norms and sparked an

organized no kings protest movement across the country on Saturday so uh I wouldn't say this parade itself is what

sparked the protests but it certainly contributed to it um and and for what it's worth you know if this was

something we did like if every July 4th we had some sort of military parade you

know and there was tradition to it I would still call it a waste of money but I would still be like whatever it's the

fact that Trump had to come up with it and make it for him that's what really

bothers me about it is is it's like this isn't something we do this isn't money

we need to spend this isn't a tradition we're upholding you saw something in France that made Mcronone look cool and

you're like why doesn't the American president do this i mean that's really what what happened is is Trump saw he

went it was like 2017 2018 he was visiting France on their Bastile Day parade and he's like oh yeah I want this

I want this for me i mean yeah okay

right you know it's just there's not it's not his as usual his head and his heart are

both in the wrong place on on doing this move even if you think you know honoring the army on its 250th birthday is a

noble thing to do in some way the the way the way it was brought about is hate

us right so uh so first takeaway from NPR stormy

clouds didn't rain on the parade it featured dozens of armored tanks and artillery vehicles such as high mars

aircraft black hop helicopters and Apaches and more than 6,000 uniform troops the idea was to walk viewers

through the history of American military conflict with some with some historical uniforms and vehicles being used i mean

not to mention we have museums and stuff we don't we we don't need to drive tanks down our city streets in order to to

honor the memory of of past military conflicts especially when we're supposed to be anti-war these days

uh NPR also reports that there were 34 horses two mules and one dog a be a a

blue healer named Doc Holiday and how close to that dog do you think Trump was

at any point because dogs do not like Trump he cannot be around dogs because

dogs are too good of a judge of character well I think they also smell his full diapers so they're like "Get

away from me you you stink." There was I saw when I was researching uh stories for the parade I saw one

headline i didn't click on it but uh there was one headline that was like "Was Trump wearing a catheter at the UFC

event?" I saw that yeah I saw that

that's so funny uh the second takeaway from NPR is that Trump got the thing he

has wanted for years

and uh apparently after this after Trump's speech at the at the parade he

was given a folded American flag which is like usually what you give the next

of kin when a soldier has died like it's what it's what you give the wife or the

child when their husband or father has been killed in war like

or even even or if they die at old age um you know when my when my grandfather

on the maternal side passed um my grandma received a flag when other

people that my dad served with passed you know in their you know from alcoholism or anything like that like

you know their their son received a flag like it's not it's supposed to be a

solemn commemoration of and again it's always

when someone has passed away like it's I don't know why they gave him a folded up flag other than to say that he's killed

America or something that's [ __ ] hilarious and we were

talking about the silent protest of the military not being very regimented in their in their marching and their or

their regulation um could that have been part of the protest

here here's a dead cat here yeah it's very possible I think

and then number three protests spring up across the country no King's protest

rippled peacefully across dozens of cities in the US organizers estimated

that more than 5 million people we're now saying over 13 million people participated in more than 2,000 we're

now saying more than 2,300 planned protests according to spokesperson Unic Ortiz while protests were peaceful

police in Copaper Virginia arrested a man who quote intentionally accelerated his vehicle into the dispersing crowd at

the end of a protest one person was hit but thank God no one was hurt police said which also like I don't know if you

saw this but leading up to the weekend Ronda Santis in Florida he was telling people like if you fear for your life

it's okay to run over a protester with your vehicle

and it's like okay if you fear for your life I guess so but just putting that

out there is just to give an excuse for people to do it right to hit and then

and then just claim you feared for your life it's Uncle Jimbo on South Park it's

coming right for us it's coming right for us yeah they're coming right for us

and then it goes on to say "Tens of thousands marched peacefully in Philadelphia where organizers were

holding their main event philadelphia was chosen as the hub because there's an indelible link between Philadelphia and

between the freedoms and the ideals that the country was founded upon," said Joel Payne spokesperson for Move On which is

one of the dozens of groups behind No Kings and of course Philadelphia was we talked about this last week Philadelphia

is where the uh reminder day pickets were held every year uh leading up to

Stonewall prior to Pride um Philadelphia is where they did those um and so this

is very very pride uh centric way of of holding a a no kings protest is do it in

June in Philadelphia i mean that's Pride pride is a protest and and we just had

the biggest protest in American history during Pride Month even if it wasn't specifically about

LGBTQ plus communities it of course in so many ways was it was about anybody who's

marginalized about anybody who needs to be seen um and so that's kind of a cool

thing about it is to have done this in June and have the center of it be Philadelphia

it's It's very fitting yeah

rolling Stone Also covering if you haven't been reading Rolling Stone lately they've been a good read uh

they're they're one Rolling Stone and Wired are probably the two the two biggest the two biggest media platforms

that have really stepped up to the plate to uh hold Trump and MAGA accountable

oh I may not be able to read this this article anymore i had a free preview but now I don't

[Music] but we'll we'll put the link in there for anybody who wants to go read the the

the Rolling Stone account of things that'll be in the show notes yeah it was a it was a fun article while I had it

we should just start putting everything on on social media for people to to to drive people to our social media wasn't

that what we do when we put it in the show notes i mean they're looking they're they're getting they're getting

to the links from the show notes they're not going to the to this our social media to get to those links

aha

although I think it's still a good idea to have them in the show notes but you know I mean we could do both but yeah uh

so the Guardian has a story here tear gas used to disperse anti-Trump protests across US as it happened so this was

their blog from Saturday um let's go show key events only so this is

the Guardian it's another great uh resource it's uh I believe the Guardians

uh from the UK yeah I think it is yeah

but uh here are the key events that happened on on uh on Saturday so law

enforcement agents in Los Angeles Seattle and Portland have deployed tear gas against protesters at some

demonstration sites again I didn't hear anywhere in our state um about tear gas

being used but this is where I had read about Seattle being included in a list where they had tear gas people and it

seems again they are targeting LA Seattle Portland i'm surprised San Francisco didn't get something like it

too because they're just saying "Hey let's let's have let's have the disturbances here let's let's tear gas

these people and they'll get blamed for it and just say "Hey see there these there's these liberal hell holes and

they're just and it's they're trying to spread a narrative these these [ __ ] hole cities yeah

so Trump's controversial military parade unfolded without incident though it was pushed due to weather concerns and then

this is something we uh so that's just the whole news okay this is not specific to

just the protests so I don't want to get them ahead of myself here um but here's uh

I'm going to combine these last two stories a little bit but uh part of perhaps part of the reason for

uh the low turnout um for the parade is that Tik Tockers

are claiming credit for Trump's parade attendance across social media people claim to have reserved tickets excuse me

to have reserved tickets and mass to Trump's birthday parade with no intent of showing up yep

and last time this happened Trump tried to ban the the Tik Tok yeah yeah i mean

I saw minimum of like four or five different Tik Tockers that say "Hey did

you know you can buy a ticket to the parade and still go to the No Kings uh

protest." Yeah yeah said "In the middle of Donald Trump's birthday military parade on

Saturday evening an activist posted a video on the MA platform threads announcing that they had received more than a million views on a Tik Tok video

advertising how to reserve tickets to the Trump parade event." I probably saw that the activists had no intention of

attending the Trump rally nor did many of the people that saw their video but they were one of a dozens of social

media users across platforms who began circulating instructions in recent days for how to reserve tickets to the rally

even if you had no intention of attending it y So that's that's pretty great and maybe that's why maybe that

had something to do with the uh the story you added here which is the uh the Craigslist the Craigslist ad for for

sharing this is great a screenshot of an alleged Craigslist advertisement seeking seat

fillers for an event in Washington DC on June 14th 2025 and the purported ad read in part "Te

Melon's Events is looking for seat fillers and extras to provide their time for space maximization and attendance

perception for an event taking place in Washington DC on June 14th extras and

seat fillers will check in on the morning of June 14th at 9:00 a.m extras are required to wear red white and blue

clothing and will be provided a red hat to wear gold accessories are acceptable

as well the team will advise the extras where to stand or sit according to the line of sight from a VIP viewing

platform area extras and seat fillers will be paid a flat daily fee and will

be provided a lunch of fast food and soda we encourage people of color and ethnic groups to sign up for maximum

perception control and these individuals will be prominently displayed on the televised broadcasts and local viewing

screens to be seen by the VIP platform it also listed compensation as a flat

fee of $1,000 paid in cryptocurrency provided by Fight Fight Fight LLC which

is uh Trump's memecoin uh company but uh this doesn't appear to be true

but it's excellent satire like every bit of it is perfect just the fact that like

you have to wear red white and blue but gold is okay at you know the video I saw

about this the they they told you how to find the article the the post on

Craigslist how to find it do you think that the post was fake so the post was

most likely um a joke like it was legitimately on there the post was

legitimately Oh so it wasn't really it wasn't really them posting it gotcha

okay right so they've uh they've done this before in fact it happened even at the hands-off protest people in my

politics group local um posted almost the exact same a very similar screenshot

as you would see in the tweets saying looking for paid protesters for the hands-off protests right like every

single thing that happens this kind of stuff comes up um and so it's not it's

not false but what it is is unproven gotcha but but this just reads like

great satire because it's like gold's okay to wear um we'll tell you where to sit based on where the VIP
