1.896 - 23.205 Unknown Speaker

Jeder Läufer kennt diesen Moment, wenn es einfach klickt. Wenn deine Beine einfach mitgehen, der Schmerz nachlässt, die Zweifel weg sind und du nur noch das Runners High spürst. Das ist der Grund, warum du so früh aufstehst. Warum dich ein bisschen Regen nicht auffällt. Warum Laufen zum Ritual wird. Also laufe und fühle das Runners High.

Die Proteste gehen nicht weg, Donald. Sie werden nur immer größer und größer bleiben. Schaut auf die 5051, die heute mehr Mass-Proteste organisieren. Es werden über 400 Proteste über die USA geplant, auch Proteste in Mexiko und in Europa. Wir werden sie alle besprechen.

In addition, there is expected to be over 525 broader events in connection with 5051 being run by We The People Dissent, a 5051 affiliate listing all of these events. So the movement continues and of course this follows the massive hands-off protests That took place earlier in April when you added up all of the towns and cities where those protests took place.

89.909 - 118.285 Ben Meiselas

There were several million people by some estimates, about 5 million people protesting when you added up all of the protests. Big protests in Chicago, big protests in Boston, big protests in Salt Lake City. And one of the things we're seeing too is with that momentum growing, running parallel. We've seen the fight the oligarchy tour by Senator Bernie Sanders and AOC.

118.345 - 145.842 Ben Meiselas

And we've seen Democrats going into red districts and purple districts and just speaking to people about issues that are not being covered enough that need to, that people are suffering from. We have to talk about education. We have to talk about health care. We have to talk about the oligarchs taking all these tax cuts for themselves while screwing over others. We have to talk about wages.

145.862 - 170.359 Ben Meiselas

There's got to be not just a living wage. There's got to be a wage with dignity. And right now there's a minimum of minimum wages while the billionaires get richer and richer. We need to talk about why it is that in the richest country in the world. Right? The richest country in the world. People struggle to get healthcare. Those are the types of issues that are on people's mind.

170.399 - 191.856 Ben Meiselas

And of course, the fact that the Trump regime is disappearing human beings without due process and sending them to concentration camps in El Salvador and then just saying, oopsies, there's nothing I can do about it. I want to share with you some of the sites of these protests, but I think it's important to note the very significant drop in

192.296 - 214.902 Ben Meiselas

in Donald Trump's polling as well and in the Republican polling as well. And to me, though, that speaks to people getting out there, talking to your neighbors, your friends, your colleagues and letting them know about these protests. I want to talk about where these protests are as well today. And I hope you will attend if you can or if you can't attend.

215.742 - 234.225 Ben Meiselas

because you're unable to, just let people know about them if there's protests nearby. Let me just show you Donald Trump's polling data recently. It's really, really bad. It kind of looks like his signature going on a downward angle at this point. If you ask Americans, is the economy getting worse?
