What unpopular policies of Donald Trump are causing backlash in swing states?

Ben Meiselas 0:07
Donald Trump is getting a rude awakening from ruby red states and from MAGA Republican podcasters who are turning against him. Donald Trump has destroyed the American dream. He's destroyed the way of life for millions of Americans. And people are livid, also livid at Donald Trump in the right wing Supreme Court, gutting the Voting Rights Act and now eliminating all black congressional districts. A throwback to Jim Crow. I want to show you what's going down right now across this country, and I want to focus on ruby red states and I want to focus on swing states. So first, let me bring you to Louisiana, where a resident who identified himself as more Sean delivered a fiery emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting specifically.

how the MAGA Republican legislature there wants to get rid of all black congressional districts following the right wing United States Supreme Court decision in Louisiana versus Kelly, destroying the Voting Rights Act and bringing the country back to Jim Crow and the horrific past of this country. Let me show you what went down here. Play this clip.

I have no doubt in my mind that the map's going to pass. If y'all can give us less than zero seats, you would do it. Hmm. Y'all do this under the orders of somebody that said the Civil Rights Act was harmful to white people, that it caused reverse racism. RFK said that black children are overfilled on antidepressants and that they need to be reparented on different forms, all of them. Pete Hexeth constantly brings Doug Wilson to the Pentagon to give a prayer service. Doug Wilson is the same pastor that said that slave owners were on strong spiritual ground. I don't have no belief in no morality on anybody that followed Donald Trump. If you wasn't with this map, you wouldn't be underneath this president.

You wouldn't be in your party. You would stand up. You would stand against it. You would speak out about it. So as far as I'm concerned, if you here as one of these Trump Republicans, you already showed us who you are. You showed us what you want to do. And I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why y'all have to redistrict. That's why y'all have to cheat. That's why Trump got to go to Texas and say he entitled to five more seats. It's because y'all know what y'all doing is abhorrent. We letting our people die in Iran based on false pretense that Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent say it ain't real. Y'all okay with all that. So I'm positive y'all going to be okay with the maps.
Unknown 2:43
But the beautiful thing is the children that y'all have made and the people that's younger than y'all don't support none of this racism that y'all want. The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy. And I'll be happy to see millennials and Gen Z bury y'all. There will be no more of your party. The midterms gonna come, y'all gonna get wiped out. Trump gonna get dragged out of the White House and I'm gonna love every second of it. Because y'all loved every second of the suffering that he caused to everybody in this country and worldwide.

How are redistricting efforts affecting black congressional districts?

Unknown 3:16
We starving Cuba. We bombed Nigeria. We holding Zimbabwe and Zambia hostage for their minerals. We don't want to give them aid support. The pro-lifers that say all life is special. Y'all letting kids die of AIDS. What part of your Bible say that? Point out the scripture. I think everybody would love to see it. And we would love to see y'all in the midterms.

Now, I want to show you what went down in Ruby Red Central Florida as a keynote speaker at the graduation there. A health care executive named Gloria Kohlfeld talked about artificial intelligence to students. They were not having it. Specifically, people across the country on a bipartisan basis are livid and pissed at Donald Trump's. unregulated AI, Trump's unregulated data centers that's taking away people's jobs and hurting the environment. And we're seeing this on a bipartisan basis. Watch as the speaker is so confused as the people there are booing AI. And it's because it's unregulated and it's dangerous.
