Ben, really helpful to have you here tonight.
This is a seriously muddy situation, but your clarity is really helpful.
Thank you.
Thanks, Rachel.
All right.
Much more news ahead.
Stay with us.
The first No Kings was June last year.
More than 5 million people took part.
The second No Kings, four months later, was October.
More than 7 million people showed up.
This weekend was the third No Kings.
Organizers say the count was more than 8 million people.
Now, the organizers of No Kings have already announced what they're planning to do next.
After those three gargantuan events in 10 months, the next one's going to be something very different.
and it is set for May 1st, instead of another day of record-breaking protests and marches.
This time, No King's organizers and hundreds of unions and other groups nationwide are planning what they're calling a nationwide general strike on May 1st.
A general strike, as in no work, no school, no shopping.
Friday, May 1st.
Joining us now is Ezra Levin, a co-founder of Indivisible, one of the No Kings organizers.
