Tommy Vietor

There was a naked bike ride.

Where do you land on the antics in Portland?

Does protesting naked diffuse the idea that there's a violent Antifa army?

Does it make us look absurd and fringy, something in between?

I'm there too.

I think if I had my choice between like dressing in a silly costume weird or a fringe like nudity bike ride weird, I'd go with the costume because I think Republicans would like nothing more than to spin the naked people on bikes as going for your children or like whatever the worst version of it is.

And, you know, look, we don't always have to think like them.

I'm not scolding anyone for protesting.

If you're going to protest, more power to you.

Credit to you for putting your body out there.

Get in front of some ice agents.

But I don't want to see your dong either.

It is what it is.

I'm just saying like all things being equal, if I could choose one, I, you know, I choose the Yoshi costume.

Yeah, for sure.

Let's just hear though how, later on the show, you're gonna hear from Leah about the No Kings protests and all the organizing going into them.

But here's how Republicans are already talking about the No Kings protests.

They have a Hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18th on the National Mall.

Is it Hamas, Antifa?

Are we hating America?
