Chapter 1: What are the 50501 mass protests about?
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.
Chapter 2: How many protests are being organized across the USA?
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.
Chapter 3: What were the results of the previous mass protests?
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.
Chapter 4: What issues are being highlighted by the protests?
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.
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.
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
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.
Chapter 5: How is Trump's approval rating affected by the protests?
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?
Most Americans by significant margins say it's worse or much worse now than under former President Biden. If you look at the Trump-regime statistics, Das war es immer, aber... Hier, wie G. Eliot Morris, der große Politiker, schreibt, Trumps Job-Approval-Ratung auf die Wirtschaft ist jetzt auf einem allzeit hohen Niveau, noch schlimmer als während Covid-19.
Seine Meinung auf sein Handeln von Inflation ist auf negative 18 auf der Average. Er hat jetzt das einzige beste politische Asset der letzten Dekade verloren. Und es sollte es nie gewesen sein, weil die Demokraten von den 52 Millionen Jobs, die in den letzten drei Dekaden geschaffen wurden, wurden von Demokraten geschaffen. 52 Millionen Jobs.
Und Trump war der einzige Präsident außer Herbert Hoover, den ich Trump-Pervert-Hoover genannt habe, weil er einen sexuellen Verbrecher ist, der Jobs in seinem Termin verloren hat. Schauen Sie sich einige dieser anderen Probleme an. Trump ist unter Wasser in der Wirtschaft, negative 9,3.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of Trump's policies on immigration?
Wenn Sie sich die Daten hier anschauen, während es zeigt, dass er über dem Wasser ist bei der Frage der Immigration bei plus 4,7, wenn Sie sich tatsächlich in die Frage eintragen und Sie über die Frage sprechen, Sie deportieren Leute, die hier seit zehn Jahren waren, ohne Kriminalrechte oder kidnappen Leute und senden sie in El Salvador-Konzentrationen.
Trump ist sehr unpopulär, wenn man über komprehensive Immigration spricht. Der Typ, den, ehrlich gesagt, Demokraten unterstützen und former Präsident Biden unterstützt. Amerikaner in einem Vakuum sind in Ordnung mit Deportationen. Sie sind in Ordnung mit Grenzen. So bin ich.
Chapter 7: How do current economic conditions influence public opinion on Trump?
The issue is kidnapping people without due process throwing them to concentration camps recklessly rounding up migrants destroying the economy of people here working and contributing and providing no process at all and going after people without criminal history. I don't like that and neither do the American people when you really break down the issues.
If you just take a weighted average also of these polls involving Donald Trump, even if you add all of these right wing like Rasmussen, where Trump has 51% disapproval from Rasmussen, which is like as pro Trump as you can get right now. You still have 51.6% of Americans disapproving them.
Then when you go into some of the crosstabs, in month three of the second term, under 100 days, Trump's average approval rating is under 40% among the following groups. Black people, people ages 18 to 29. Black people only support 23% support. Ages 18 to 29, Trump only has 34%. Independents, 37%. Moderates, 37%. Women, 39%. Latinos, 39%. And when you go to ages 30 to 44, 41%.
White college grad, 41%. Urban, 41%. And houses, 50k household incomes, 42%. College grads, 42% approval. all underwater there. Here's the Rasmussen poll showing that Donald Trump 51% disapprove.
And as Adam Carlson says, I think the argument that D should talk about immigration, that D, that Democrats shouldn't talk about immigration because Trump and Republicans currently poll better on it off its base. I get the logic, but when you go through asking people, do you agree you should deport undocumented immigrants who have lived in the US for more than 10 years? That has negative 37%.
So you go through all of Trumps Policies of like revoking temporary protected status is not popular. All right, let's talk more about the protests. But I wanted to show you that the protests are working. People are, it's forcing people not just to take to the streets, but now it has this, it's a solve problem.

A wave of protests is set to sweep across all 50 states on Saturday, April 19th, organized by the grassroots group 5051 in opposition to Trump's policies and executive orders. Organizers cite concerns over civil liberties. Vielen Dank. And these protests continue to grow. And one of the things 5051 is focused on is really trying to get that 3.5% of the US population to show up and get out there.
And hopefully more than that. But they understand that it's growing it, protest by protest by protest. And I've always said I expect there to be a democracy summer. So you take a look at where these protests are and you should all check out the 5051 website as well to see if there's a protest near you. You spell it out 50 F I F T Y F I F T Y. So it's 5050.1 5050.1.
And then you go and check it out. They're everywhere, these protests. From Montgomery, Alabama, to Maui, Hawaii, to Lexington, Kentucky, to Quincy, Illinois, to Kansas City, Missouri, to Las Vegas, Nevada, to Rutherford County, North Carolina. There's the locations and all these other cities and towns. So search the one nearest you if you wanted to go out there today.
