| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:09.0 | What a weekend. |
| 0:10.0 | I don't really remember any 48, 72 hour period with as much good and bad that took place over such a short period of time. |
| 0:22.6 | If you are Donald Trump and Maga and you were trying to intimidate people into silence |
| 0:28.5 | and into staying home, this weekend was an absolute disaster except for everybody who stayed |
| 0:34.5 | home from Donald Trump's military parade. |
| 0:37.3 | But we will get to that. |
| 0:38.3 | I want to start with the no king's protests. |
| 0:41.3 | I was out there. |

| 1:31.1 | And that was nominally supposed to honor the 250th anniversary of the Army. |
| 1:37.6 | But it was really a Trump military parade. |
| 1:40.6 | It was about him. |
| 1:42.2 | And just days before we saw Trumps send federal agents and national guard troops and Marines |
