Speaker 1 (00:02):
I have a question or topic you want to have addressed.
Just ask. This is the Brian Mud Show Today's Q
and A as we take a look at the demographics
of the No Kings protesters. This is brought to you
by me Listen ashes check our collections each day. A
future listener question that is sent by one of these methods.
You may email me Brian Mudd at iHeartMedia dot com,

While I'm there, you'll see a little microphone button. You
tap it. You may lay down the message right there.
Maybe toper question for a future Q and I like this, Hey, Brian,

(00:48):
Jeremy here. So I was listening and I heard the
turnout for the Hurly Bird Special protests on Saturday Sunday
was mostly an older crown. And I guess they're rationale
for that was hapathy of the youth. Yeah, I don't
think it's hapathy. What are your thoughts? My thoughts are

(01:10):
Kudos for creativity and your description of Saturday's Marxist organized
No King's protest. I got a laugh out of it,
although I think we Jeldsy has gotten the even bigger
laugh out of it today. Love, I think it's great
early bird special protests. I have to raise my hand though,
And as somebody who goes to bed at eight occupational hazard,
I've been known to be an earlier burder myself. But

(01:31):
obviously you're not whom he is referring to. Yes, it's correct,
all right. So much has been made of the size
of the protests on Saturday, in addition to the demographics
of them, and it's been well democratic documented that the
protests were disproportionately intended by older, white women, and as

(01:54):
you noted, this led to some to suggest that maybe
it was apathy among younger adults, but maybe it wasn't.
Maybe it wasn't right apathy that kept younger people. Why first,
let's dive into who actually did show up. So one
of the things that has been exceedingly annoying throughout this

(02:15):
was not just the pre promotion by your GSS news media,
but just how lazy and horrible the reporting has been
after it. We know how bad it's been. What have
you consistently heard over seven million, right, and thousands of locations.
You know what actually happened. There is comprehensive analysis, city

(02:38):
by city, state by state for literally every single No
King's protest on Saturday where at least two people showed up,
where at least two people showed up, And on this
blog entry, I have that analysis for you. It's all
in a spreadsheet. How many locations had protests? Look, it

(03:03):
was big. Was twelve hundred and forty five, not thousands.
There were twelve hundred and forty five locations in this
country where a minimum of two washouts got together with signs.
The actual number of protesters within the United States not
anywhere close to the seven million plus reported. In fact,

(03:26):
is about half that number. So yes, factory, in every
one of those protests where two people are more showed up.
The grand total nationally three million, eight hundred fifteen thousand,
one hundred and sixty protesters, or to put it another way,

(03:47):
one point two eight percent of the population. Or to
put another way, still less than a right around a
third of the stated goal of three and a half
percent by the organizers. The organizers believe that hey, you
get three eight and a half percent of the population
to do something then that'll cause change. Well then come

(04:08):
close to that either. So yeah, you continue to have
your GSS news media fall a. Soy're reporting this. One
of the things that was fascinating to me. At noon yesterday,
while I was working on research for this Q and A,
I saw this newsweek story story get pushed. What did

(04:30):
it say? At least twenty seven hundred events took place
simultaneously in cities, towns, and suburbs, and literally was working
on a spreadsheet where there were twelve hundred and forty
five locations and they're out there in that same moment
reporting at least twenty seven hundred. Organizers estimated that nearly

(04:57):
seven million people took streets. Submit that we haven't done
any work on this, but we're just taking what hamas.
I'm sorry, we're just taking what no kings told us.
Big delineation there. Now they look different, It's the thing,

(05:17):
this is a big delineation. They look different. So yeah,
not close to any of that information that was newly
reported information yesterday. As for the demographics of the protesters,
I decided to put AI resources to work because there's

(05:38):
no way to do this right I mean, there's no
check in people and say I'm this old and I'm
this ethnicity. But you know what we got. I had
a lot of video and picks out there on social media,
and so I decided to create props for different AI tools,
and I sent them down the path of analyzing all

(06:01):
the stuff for the No Kings protests, everything tagged with it,
and to come up with demographic profiles. Here's why. And
by the way, if I had one, even one that
had thrown that showed vastly different results than the others,
I would have thrown it all out because it, you know,
probably would have been unreliable at that point, all pointed

(06:22):
in the same direction. Here were the commonalities and whatever
received from an AI analysis of the video and picks
of No King's protests. Predominantly older, mostly women, mostly white.
Based upon location, the average base protester was fifty five

(06:43):
plus to seventy plus. And when I when mostly white
based upon location, typical was ninety to ninety eight percent white.
So there you go, women over seven white, women over
seventy And here's the kicker. When I asked for the

(07:07):
closest historical cop to what transpired on Saturday, what protests
do you think came up the twenty seventeen Women's March.
And I hear Ashley Judden I am a nasty woman, yes,

(07:28):
And I hear Madonna talk about blowing up the White
House same march. I believe. Yeah, yeah, Now you're right.
It was the nasty nasty women. It was the nasty
nasty women March. So in other words, you're no Kings.
Protesters today are mostly your nasty women of twenty seventeen. Incidentally,

(07:50):
much of the financial backing is the same for both,
so it's of little surprise. Effectively, we're talking about your
glorious dynam radicalized hippies from the sixties. That's who's out there.
So about that. President Trump won last year's election with
the most diverse coalition of voters by any winning president
since shefk in nineteen sixty. That's true in age and ethnicity,
but to a lesser extent gender. While men of all

(08:13):
socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds have been trending towards the right
in recent years, the two groups President Trump performed worst
with last year and continues through approval polls this year
are younger and older women. President Trump currently has net
positive approval ratings with men. However, his approval rating with
women is only a thirty four percent. That includes only

(08:35):
one percent for white women who are Democrats. So what
we are mostly seeing is the evolution of the abortion
protesters of the sixties and seventies into the nasty women
of today. That is the base of the grossly overstated,
highly funded, and orchestrated no Kings nonsense these days.
