How are Democrats challenging the Trump agenda in Republican areas?
Right now, it's the time to fight for the people. You're either on the side of the people or you're on the side of the oligarchs. I like to see Democrats who are fighting. Let me show you what Governor Walz did in Des Moines, Iowa. He spoke to the people there in a reddish area and he said, let me explain to you why the Trump regime is going after public education. Play this clip.
And again, I got to be honest with you. They hate public education. I think they hate it for the reason we all know in here. It's easier to run an authoritarian government if you don't have a population that knows. So again, obviously I don't have all the answers, but I think it's appealing to people's sense of decency. I should be careful about that. I thought a message that we should value all people and we should have an immigration policy that adheres to the law but adheres to humanity. And they talked about eating dogs and cats and they won. And so I myself am soul searching when I hear this, how in God's name of all the money that's being spent and all the tax cuts they're giving, we can't fund
Those interventions that we know make a difference in millions of children's lives, I can't believe America wouldn't go for that.
Couldn't agree more with him. Then in this public town hall event that he was holding, he asked the crowd, what do you want to see Democrats doing? Not surprisingly, it's fight. It's fight back. And not just what you want to see Democrats doing. As human beings, we need to fight this regime right now. Here, play this clip.
Viral videos that show Democrats fighting back.
Next up, Governor Walz talks about what you see on Fox News over and over again.
Play this clip. Look, I got asked that question. I got asked the question, who's in charge? Who's the leader of the Democratic Party, Governor? And I said, the people are. And for three days on Fox News, they're like making fun, you know, the bungholes that are in the morning, like talking, oh, Walls doesn't even know who the leader of the party is. Well, you know why? They sure know where it is. They know who their leader is because Chaplin from butt kissing one person. So demand it. There's... There is not going to be a charismatic leader ride in and do this. It is going to be people coming out on a beautiful Friday afternoon, demanding change and holding people accountable. Governor Walz, again, let's play it.
But this issue around healthcare and the issue around Medicare and the things we're talking about, we've got people now that are exactly like this story, worried about basic human right of healthcare and decency in their life. And I own this. The idea that millions of people stayed home because they didn't think there was any difference between Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and myself on the ticket. They didn't. They didn't think that. And we we need to acknowledge that. I think one of the reasons is, is that when Democrats have been in power, we've been timid about passing things that make a difference on their lives. And why? Why do we have citizens that are in this piece of, in this situation?
Why are we at that point when we are the richest nation on earth and yet our outcomes are 41st and we spend twice as much as any nation next to us? We should demand a redo of this system in a way that makes a difference on that because I think it's very hard that we have to win elections but Good politics follows good policy. And the ACA was an improvement. But let's be honest, the ACA is still a pain in the ass to get things paid, to get things done. It's important protection like pre-existing conditions, but it's still too expensive. And so what I would say to you is we need to tell your son that we need a health care system that he doesn't have to worry that one election could throw him out and into the streets, that one election would make a difference.
Let me show you what went down in one of these MAGA Republican town halls. I at least give this guy, Chuck Edwards, somewhat credit, MAGA Republican, for holding the town hall. I think this showcases, though, just how pissed people are. Here's a veteran who's got kicked out of the event.
