Like we just go up to a protest or ask them why they're there, ask them their thoughts and nothing else happens.

And then you just compile the answers and the Internet loves it because they they're like, why?

Why are they there?

No one can answer it.

It was so surprising because I think man on the streets and they get some pushback because sometimes I'll see people doing a man on the street interview and I'm like, okay, they caught someone off guard, like legitimately on the streets.

And, but what I love about no Kings is we are not catching these people off guard because they show up with a reason to be there.

And, you know, I'm always surprised when they can't answer it because it is a lot of blank stares.

But I talked to one girl and she was in a group of four and she was the third girl I was going to ask the question to.

So she had time to think about her answer.

And the question is very basic.

It's what brought you out here today?

And she, similar to the transgender person who told me Trump's taking away women's rights to vote, she tells me Trump is taking away black people's rights.

And so the natural follow-up, Tim, is obviously, well, what rights?

And that's where things always get uncomfortable.

The protesters, they immediately start to feel like they're kind of like on the attack.

But it's such a fair question.

It was one of the worst answers I've ever heard.

And it made the whole situation so awkward.

And I'm biting my cheek the whole time because I'm like, try not to laugh and cause any more tension.

But she goes, 30-second pause.
