Hey, Lauren, we're live right now.

Hi there.

Special edition of the Jim Acosta show, filmmaker, Lauren Windsor, is there right now.

Lauren, tell us a little bit about this rally you're at.

I've been doing this theme, the Great American Pushback.

And when you told me about this rally today in Raleigh, North Carolina, I thought, hey, this is a great opportunity to see what's going on.

Tell us about where you are right now.

So we're at the Bicentennial Plaza in between, like, it's right in front of the legislature,

between the legislature and the state capital.

We partnered with the North Carolina Democratic Party.

So when I say we, my organization, my nonprofit American Family Voices, we commissioned this puppet,

and I think you can see them behind me.

Yeah.

They're these big street puppets.

We had a Donald Trump one for a long time that we would take out in

during Trump one this end out to protest and I just remember watching some news come out about

Doge and Elon Musk cutting NIH funding for the research triangle and you know this is before all the

litany of pets that we now are familiar with but but it was like, oh, this is, you know, a really big hit. And I'm just thinking about ways to really try to screw with Elon Musk. And I thought about the puppet. I was like, we should get a puppet made of Elon Musk. So he's actually the one in the middle.

Yes, let's see that.

He's wearing a black gojad.

And I'll go stand in front of him in a second.

Cool.
