Speaker 1: Well, Saturday was deemed as Barack Obama Appreciation Day, and

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: it went viral on social media. The purpose was to

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: flood social media with positive images of former President Barack

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Obama and reflect on a time when we respected the

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: office of the president. Barack Obama Appreciation Day happened to

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: fall on the same day as Trump's seventy ninth birthday.

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: So here's a question. Did you guys participate? I didn't.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Well, let me say it is. Barack Obama Appreciation Day

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: is every day.

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Yes, now especially every day.

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, it's just too much going on.

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: It's a mess right now. It is a mess with

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: ice and with all all this stuff. It's is it America?

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 5: Really?

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? And does sometimes?

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of President Trump, as his disastrous military parade for

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: his seventy ninth birthday went as scheduled, it did not

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: draw out a major crowd as he is hoped for,

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: and it reportedly wasted up to forty five million dollars.

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: But even if it didn't, he's gonna say it was anyway.

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 5: I saw, I saw, I know, I saw eight and

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 5: nine people.

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: That's what I saw. That's easy to count.

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 5: On the ground.

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 6: I saw eighty nine people, and that scattered, and I

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 6: counted twice. I'm just kidding out. I counted, you do

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 6: you double checked yourself double checked. It might have been ninety,

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 6: but I'm sure I'm right on with eighty nine or

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 6: what I started ninety.

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Trump and his officials stood on stage at the National

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Mall while US troops marched on foot, on horseback, and

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: rode by in tanks. Okay, really, that's why we had.

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: No King's Day. Okay, this is why.

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, in all fifty states, thousands of protesters participated in

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: No King's rallies were aimed at rejecting authoritarianism in their

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: first politics and the militarization of our democracy. The ralli's

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: number of protests to proceeded the number of attendees for

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,120

00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 6: telling you eighty nine is what I counted. I'm not

43
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 6: colling the people that's all in the tanks and stuff

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 6: that's working. I'm talking about the people that came out

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 6: to participate for the party. I counted eighty nine people,

Speaker 2: I know it's a little wet from the rain.

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: It's also unbelievable what's going on in Los Angeles. As

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, the National Guard was deployed in the Los

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,320

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: this parade and forty five million dollars, but then you,

76

Speaker 2: They got into a beef. And now that's right. It's

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: like this is too much. Okay, it's too much.

80
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: If you were really really invested in it, it caused

00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: major it could cause major stress, major stress. All right,

82
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: this is crazy and it's right here, forty five million

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:15,760
