is no secret, you probably all feel this way, that the people of this country are completely pissed off right now. And it's one thing to see that reflected in polls. It's one thing to see it reflected in special election after special election, which we certainly do. But it's always especially striking to see it on these huge days of protests all around the country. This was Raleigh, North Carolina today. Big crowds of people, many of them public school teachers and educators who came in from all across the state of North Carolina to rally for what they called kids over corporations demanding more money for public education. And you might be thinking to yourself, wait, it's Friday. How could there be so many teachers there on a school day? Well, there was no school for many in North Carolina today. At least 11 school districts across the state of North Carolina were closed closed because both teachers and students decided to walk out as part of this big May Day protest. And that was sort of the theme across the country today. No work, no school, no shopping. And across the country, people in all kinds of jobs refuse to show up for work or school to demand that this country start putting workers over billionaires. Now, May Day has been around for a long time. It's long been a day of protest in support of organized labor and working people. But this year in the United States, labor unions and progressive groups, they stepped it all up, banding together with the organizers of the no Kings protests for a nationwide demonstration to show how much working people are fed up with The Trump administration. And while today was supposed to be more about boycotts and big marches and rallies, people still showed up to May Day rallies in droves to voice their discontent with the economic situation in this country and how it's impacting all of them. They showed up in Boston, Massachusetts, and Columbia, South Carolina, and Kansas City, Missouri, and Washington, D.C. there were huge crowds in places like New York, Louisiana and Chicago. In Memphis, Tennessee, protesters staged a die in to protest Elon Musk's AI company, which they say is polluting the local environment and draining the water supply. New York City protesters were arrested after chaining themselves. You can see them right there to the New York Stock Exchange. All across the country, people found different ways to highlight the growing divide between working people and billionaires, which makes sense. That's on a sense, because right now, millions and millions of people in this country are getting absolutely screwed over in Donald Trump's economy. I mean, today, the average price of a gallon of gas in this country shot up to $4.39. And just in case you're keeping track, or in case you're not, that's up 9 cents a gallon just since yesterday. Voters know exactly who's to blame for those high prices. And hardly anyone is buying Trump's argument that this is all worth it. A new Washington Post poll finds that 61% of Americans think Trump's war in Iran was a mistake. But even more jaw dropping is the fact that only 19% of Americans think say that the actions the United States has taken in Iran have been successful. In fact, Trump's war in Iran has already become as unpopular as the two most unpopular wars in American history, Vietnam and Iraq. And the only difference is those wars took years to reach their historic disapproval benchmarks. Well, Trump got there in, well, just two months. On top of all of that, last week, Reuters found that a full 77% of registered voters blamed Trump for the recent rise in gas prices. Even a majority of Republicans say Trump is to blame for the high cost of gas. 55%. Remember, this is a guy who has been able to hold onto the majority of Republicans through more scandals than any president in modern history. But even they can't deny the direct cause and effect of his war in Iran. And with numbers like that, you'd think that now would be the time for the president to provide, well, some relief for the millions of Americans who rely on their cars to get around. Right?
