Watch.

D (3:32)

Why do we protest? Reason number one, nonviolent protest works. We know from history and we know from recent experience that nonviolent protest makes authoritarian regime change less likely. It makes it more likely that we'll have a future of open, free politics. Reason number two, it changes the atmosphere. If we all stay at home and we all think our own thoughts, we don't set an example when we go outside. When we join together, we help show the country, we help show the world, we help show everybody else that this is not normal, that we are on the wrong path. And by putting ourselves out there, we show what the right path can look like. We change the atmosphere. Reason number three, it gets us organized. In order to win, we've got to be with other people. We've got to be with people who are better organizers than we are, who are more courageous than we are, who are out there doing the work. When you go out next Saturday to no Kings, make sure you meet new people. Make sure you make new plans. Make sure you help us stick together. We can get through this together. Number four, Protests win elections. We're in a situation where we've got a very important election in front of us. The future of the Republic depends on it. The opposition has to win. But the opposition isn't just a party. The opposition is a coalition. And when you take part in protests, you build that big coalition, you build that force and that energy which can actually lead us to victory. In special times, protest wins elections. Reason number five, protest brings joy. Protest makes us happy. If you're feeling alone, if you're feeling isolated, protest is just the thing. Because when you protest, you're with other people and you feel like you're making a difference. And you feel that way because you are making a difference. Hopelessness turns into hope. Join us. No Kings March 28.

So you can take that with you, share it wherever you need to share it. Whenever you see some demobilizing, tanky jerk on social media. Oh well, you and your peaceful whatever, you know, those people are just, just block them. Just get that negativity out of your life.

C (5:48)

I know. Speaking of getting negativity out of our lives, I got a little schadenfreude for you.

B (5:53)

You know.

C (5:54)

Excellent. I know we haven't had some in a while and we deserve it. We have earned it. First, is Donald stumbling his way through trying to explain why he voted by mail in that special election in Mar A Lago's district where a Democrat flipped his in his own backyard? That hasn't happened in years, probably decades in this case. He's just fumbling through this and just word salading it like he always does. Take a look.

E (6:22)

Did a mail in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine taking weekend. That's right. And I, Yeah. And I decided that I was going to vote by mail in ballot because I couldn't be there because I had a lot of different things. But you know we have exceptions for mail in ballots. You do know that, right? So if you're away, we have an exception. If you're in the military, we have an exception. If you're on a business trip, we have an exception. If you're disabled, we have an exception. And if you're ill, if you're not feeling good. So I was away mostly in Washington D.C. so I used a mail in bell. But I appreciate the question because I know, I know it was so well meaning.

B (7:05)

Yeah, I'm, I'm so thankful.

C (7:07)

There's exceptions for everything. There's exceptions for everything. If you're sick, okay, I'm gonna call in gay because apparently you all think that's a sickness. So I'm gonna call in gay, I'm gonna send a mail in ballot. Like if you're away, if you're on a trip, if you're unable physically to get to the polls. So it's interesting how there's so many exceptions now to the mail in ballot rule when, you know, all of a sudden Donald was like, I had very important things to do. I couldn't be there. So I wanted to vote. And I did it by mail, by mail.

B (7:37)

I love that a reporter asked that. I've been so like, you know, they've cleared out most of the White House press briefing room of credible people, but they're every once In a while, somebody will get in and be like, yeah, but you aren't in the military. You weren't absent. You were in Palm Beach.

C (7:55)

What?

B (7:55)

What?

A (7:55)

What?

B (7:55)

He's like, well, I'm the president. Okay, all right. Anyway, I thought that was fantastic. A little bit of more. A little bit of more. A little bit more schadenfreude. Here's Jessica Tarloff, who I love. I love her, too.

C (8:10)

I don't know how she stays on the show. And I keep her because they need her, because she's actually incredibly smart and challenges them. I absolutely adore her.

B (8:19)

Yeah. But because I don't watch Fox News, I really just get clips of her amazing shiz on social media. But here she is embarrassing Jesse Waters, which I am always down to watch, even if it's on Fox News. Check it out.

C (8:34)

Jessica, what do you make of the. Do you have any. Are your sources telling you who's running Iran?

A (8:43)

No,

B (8:46)

and my Wall street sources aren't

A (8:48)

saying the same thing that. Just as Wall street sources are saying either. But I love that you read a newspaper

C (8:55)

every day.

B (8:57)

I don't know if that's true.

D (8:59)

Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Post.

A (9:02)

Can you still say this crap on

B (9:04)

TV after you've read all that?

C (9:09)

Good for you for reading a paper. I'm impressed. I'm in Paris. I'm impressed with you. Reading, reading, period. Just reading. I read more than you.

B (9:16)

Well, then why do you talk like this?

C (9:18)

Why do you say this nonsense on national television? She's so good, but like I said, it's shocking that they keep her. But Jesse Waters is. He's so full of shit anyway. He doesn't believe most of the things that come out of his mouth. He's an entertainer in the worst possible way. He's not a journalist. He's an entertainer.

B (9:35)

He's not funny. Neither is that Gutfeld guy. Have you ever seen that guy?

C (9:39)

Yes.

B (9:39)

All these conservative comedians who think that they're funny and they're sad.

C (9:44)

Yeah. I do have a little bit. Speaking of people that are just pieces of garbage, I have a little bit of happiness for you to end this today. This is a Twitter post from the gutter trash bigoted account of Libs of TikTok. And I know. I mean, and on Twitter, and I know some people are confused by that name, Libs of TikTok. It is the most abhorrent account you might possibly come across if you're still on this hellhole of a platform. But this is the quote. X just charged me? $10,000. Despite us not renewing our business account subscription and requesting through premium support multiple times to remove our gold check. Can someone please help me? You know what? You're on your own on this. Are you really surpr that the leopards are eating your face? Do you think you were going to be protected?

B (10:32)

World's tiniest violin for you, Tik Tok.

C (10:38)

I can't. She's a horrible person. Absolutely horrible person.

B (10:43)

Yeah, I guess. Boy, she. She didn't want to. It's $10,000 for a gold wild mark

C (10:51)

and apparently a business account subscription. I. I don't know. Obviously, neither of us are paying it. I have no idea.

B (10:57)

No, my blue check back on the Twitter days was free. And then when he took them all away, he gave me mine back, and I didn't want it.

C (11:05)

I don't want it.

B (11:06)

I don't want your slutty blue check. And I. For so long, I wanted it so badly when Twitter was, like, a great thing. And finally when I got it, I was like, oh, my God, I'm verified. Yay.

C (11:18)

I know. Me too.

B (11:20)

Went to shit. It just all went to shit. Then you could just buy one and then. Anyway, what a terrible. But, hey, we talked about on the long beads today.

C (11:30)

His.

B (11:31)

His lawsuit against advertisers not wanting to buy shit on his Nazi site got

C (11:35)

tossed out, which is beautiful.

B (11:37)

Yeah.

C (11:38)

That's so weird that he even thought that he was going to win that. People have a right to put their money where they want to. You can't force them to advertise on your shit stain of a social media app.

B (11:48)

You must spend money advertising on a site run by Nazis. You have to. That's the new rule. Okay.

A (11:59)

Yeah.

B (11:59)

And he tried to say it was antitrust, but then failed to make an antitrust claim at all. So the judge was like, so I have no qualms dismissing this with prejudice. So he can't even file it again.

C (12:09)

Beautiful.

B (12:10)

Yeah. All right. Anyway, just wanted to leave you with those little nice, happy thoughts to carry into your weekend to carry into the protest tomorrow.

C (12:18)

Love it.

B (12:19)

It's going to be incredible. It's going to be. Meet people, get in touch with your communities, get in touch with organizations. Organize while you're there. And there's always some amazing booths that people set up for, like, information on, you know, ranked choice voting or who's running in your district, who's running for the water board, who's running for city council, who's running for school board. Like, those are such important things locally. And so yeah, absolutely. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. It always lifts my spirit. So I'll see all of you out there. It's going to be fantastic. Do you have any final thoughts before we get out here for the weekend?

C (12:57)

Just be safe. Camera's up. Whatever you need to do.

B (13:01)

Yep. And then send all the pictures to us, dailybeanspod.com and click on contact. We want to see all of the photos. Thank you so much, everybody. We will see you Monday. I'm Allison Gill.

C (13:09)

And I'm Dana Goldberg. And that was Beanstalk. I almost forgot what I was signing off of on the second date of.

B (13:18)

That was a very dramatic pause.

C (13:19)

And we're out of here. Rolodex of my brain went like, what are we doing right now?

B (13:25)

Okay, where am I? What's today? Hello,

C (13:38)

Beans. Daily beans.

B (13:44)

That.
