Everywhere we looked, elites were collapsing, whether it was media institutions or law firms or universities or leaders of the Democratic Party.
They were looking for ways to just bow down to Trump.
And I think the story of 2025 is the story of elites collapsing in the face of an authoritarian threat and normal everyday people saying, we're not going to accept this.
Starting with hands off in April with 1300 events nationwide.
to No Kings 1 in June on Donald Trump's birthday, to No Kings 2 in October.
We saw three of the five largest protests in American history last year.
And we're 12 days into this year, Rachel, and we've already seen another one of the largest protests in history against this regime.
And these were organic protests that came together, as you said, in the space of 48 hours.
So I think where we are now is one, an authoritarian regime that is undeniably weakened compared to where it was a year ago.
Its support is drastically lower.
It has met defeat again and again and again at the ballot box and in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion.
And also, we, us pro-democracy Americans, we have not won yet.
Because a weakened authoritarian regime is in many ways more dangerous.
And I hate to say this, Rachel, but I believe it to be the case.
I think it's going to be worse before it gets better.
But I think it's going to get better because we're going to make it better.
We saw what making it better looks like.
We saw organic outrage, which is the responsibility of Americans everywhere to display outrage right now at what this regime is doing.
That outrage is our job.
The event tomorrow is with elected officials.
