Dive into the truth behind the “No Kings” protests that erupted on June 14, 2025, with host John O’Connor on O’Connor’s Right Stand. Millions marched in 2,000 cities, slamming Trump’s $45 million military parade, but this wasn’t a grassroots uprising—it’s a progressive conspiracy. Who’s funding this chaos? Billionaires like Christy Walton and NGOs like Indivisible and MoveOn are pouring millions into a machine that trained 18,000 volunteers and built interactive protest maps. How did it explode so fast? The 50501 Movement capitalized on LA’s anti-ICE crackdowns, using viral outrage and media spin to mobilize in weeks. What’s their real intention? It’s not democracy—it’s derailing Trump’s America-first agenda of secure borders and deregulation to rally the left for 2026.

John OConnor (00:00):
Welcome to O'Connor's Rights Sand, where we
(00:02):
plan our flag for Americanliberty and swing a sledgehammer
at the bloated, tyrannicalgovernment strangling our
freedoms. It's Tuesday, June 17,and good morning, patriots. I
hope everyone is having anamazing day. I'm John O'Connor,
your host, and I'm fired up.You're joining me for this epic
marathon of truth.
Last week, we tore into theTrump Musk feud, and your
(00:23):
feedback was awesome. Well,almost all of it, and I'll get
to that shortly. So I want youto know I'm reading every single
word of your comments and yourmessages. This movement's about
us, the people standing shoulderto shoulder for the America our
founders envisioned. A nation ofliberty, not control, where the
government serves us, not theelites.
(00:44):
Some of you called me out forquestioning Trump's bill,
thinking I'm wavering as a Trumpsupporter. Let's set the record
straight. I'm all in for Americafirst. Secure borders that
protect our communities, lowertaxes that keep your hard earned
money, jobs brought back home toAmerican workers, and a
government that respects theconstitution. But holding our
(01:06):
leaders accountable isn'tbetrayal.
It's principle. We aren't theleft. We are not democrats. We
don't follow blindly. We fightwisely, keeping our movement
sharp and unstoppable.
In the conservative movement, wecan have disagreements or
arguments, but we don't shunfellow conservatives who have a
differing view. We listen, weengage, we discuss, and then we
(01:29):
coalesce. I'm always going tocall it as I see it. I owe you
that as the listener. And if youwant me to blindly foul any
political leader, then I hate tosay, maybe this show is not for
you.
At the end of the day, am Ihappy with Trump? The answer is
yes. But are there things hecould do better? The answer is
also yes. But there are hundredsof things even I could do
(01:51):
better.
I just wanted to address thatright off the bat. So now let's
just get into the rest of theshow. Today, episode two is an
unapologetic, exhaustive diveinto the no kings protest that
erupted June 14 across 2,000cities. Millions marched,
slamming president Trump's$45,000,000 military parade and
(02:13):
his bold leadership. This wasn'ta spontaneous cry for freedom.
It was calculated progressiveassault on our republic designed
to undermine the will of thepeople. So who's bankrolling
this chaos? How did it explodeso fast? And what's the real
endgame? We are peeling backevery layer of this conspiracy,
(02:34):
exposing the money, themachinery, the motives, and the
stakes.
This isn't just a podcast. It'sa battle for America's soul, and
we're not sitting it out. We'regoing along today, patriots,
because the truth demands it. Sograb your coffee, your energy
drink, or your morning proteinshake, buckle up, and let's
(02:54):
stand tall for America, theAmerica our founders bled for.
We're dismantling thisprogressive plot piece by piece
and rallying every patriot tofight back.
(03:19):
Let's dive into the heart ofthis, Patriots. Nothing as
colossal as the no kingsprotest, with four to 6,000,000
people marching in over 2,000cities on June 14, happens
without a mountain of cash.These weren't backyard rallies
thrown together by concernedcitizens. They were a high
budget, meticulously coordinatedstrike, time to clash with
(03:40):
president Trump's $45,000,000military parade celebrating the
US army's two hundred andfiftieth anniversary, his 70
birthday, and flag day. Thefifty fifty one movement, backed
by over 200 progressiveorganizations, such as
Indivisible, Move On, the ACLU,American Federation of Teachers,
(04:01):
Communications Workers ofAmerica, orchestrated this
operation like a militarycampaign.
So who's writing the checks?Who's got the motive, the means,
and the audacity to pull thisoff? So first up, Christy
Walton, Walmart heiress with anet worth of 19,300,000,000.0.
(04:22):
On June 8, she bankrolled a fullpage New York Times ad urging
Americans to mobilize for noking's day. Walton's no newcomer
to anti Trump funding.
She poured millions millionsinto groups like the Lincoln
Project, which backed KamalaHarris in 2024, and the welcome
pack pushing pro immigrationnarratives that undermine border
(04:43):
security. Her ad screamed, savedemocracy, but let's call it
what it was. Partisan politicsdressed up as principle. Trump's
America First policies tradetrade deals that protect
American workers from unfaircompetition, deregulation that
frees small businesses frombureaucratic shackles, and
(05:04):
border security that enforcesour laws, threaten the globalist
elite's grip on power. Waltonand her aren't fighting for the
little guy.
They're fighting to keep theirinfluence over a system that
prioritizes profits overpatriotism. But Walton's just
the visible tip of a much largericeberg. The fifty fifty one
movement's coalition ran alogistical beast that screams
(05:27):
big money, bigger than onebillionaire could cover alone.
They trained 18,000 volunteersacross all 50 states, hosted an
ACLU Know Your Rights Call with18,000 participants, and built
interactive protest mapspinpointing every rally from
Philadelphia's 100,000 marchersto Sitka's Alaska's 300.
(05:50):
Indivisible's 32 page toolkit,freely available online, was a
masterclass in protest planning.
How to manage crowds, spin medianarratives, handle arrests, even
dodge legal repercussions. Thatlevel of coordination doesn't
come from grassroots donationsor bake sales. It's a
multimillion dollar operation,likely costing tens of millions
(06:13):
when you factor in staff, tech,travel, and advertising. So who
else is in the game? Groups likeOpen Society Foundations,
notorious for fundingprogressive causes worldwide,
are likely players, thoughconcrete receipts are tough to
pin down without a subpoena.
Political reports between 2016and 2020 show the open society
(06:34):
has a history of bankrollingmovements like Black Lives
Matter and Occupy Wall Street.The American Federation of
Teachers with 20,000,000 inpolitical spending in 2024 is a
key player. Why is a teacher youteachers union funding anti
Trump protests? Because Trump'spush to defund woke education,
critical race theory, DEIquotas, gender gender thought in
(06:57):
classrooms threatens theirideological stranglehold on our
moot schools. MoveOn, with30,000,000 in annual revenue,
thrives on mobilizing left wingoutrage, and their email lists
reach millions.
The ACLU with a $500,000,000annual budget has shifted from
defending free speech to actingas a progressive attack dog,
(07:19):
following lawsuits againstTrump's policies every single
freaking turn, deportations,deregulation, you name it. Let's
zoom out for historical contextbecause this isn't new. The two
thousand seventeen women'smarch, which rallied three to
5,000,000 people, was backed byover 400 NGOs and millions in
donations. The twenty twentyBlack Lives Matter protests saw
(07:43):
over 10,000,000,000 in corporatepledges, with companies like
Amazon and Nike jumping on theband bandwagon. Go back further.
The nineteen sixties antiVietnam protests were partly
funded by wealthy donors likeCyrus Eaton, a businessman with
leftist ties. The two thousandthree Iraq war protests had
MoveOn's 1,500,000 ad campaignfueling the fire. The two
(08:06):
thousand eleven Occupy WallStreet movement kicked off by ad
busters with grants from theTides Foundation morphed into a
progressive wish list. And eventhe two thousand seventeen
Women's March had plannedparenthood No Kings is the
latest chapter in this playbook.Billionaires and NGOs funneling
cash to stoke division andundermine conservative
(08:27):
governance.
Contrast that with conservativemovements. The two thousand nine
Tea Party was true grassroots.No billionaire ads, just
patriots in backyards demandinglower taxes and less government.
It did take months to scale, butit flipped the house in 02/2010.
Trump's 2,016 rallies werefueled by raw energy, not NGO
(08:49):
machines.
No kings is just astroturf, pureand simple, elite money
masquerading as people power. Sowhy now? Trump's policies are
hitting where the left where ithurts. His mass deportations,
backed by 40% of Americans,enforce immigration laws the
left wants ignored. Hisderegulation push is dismantling
(09:11):
bureaucratic red tape, freeingbusinesses from the swamp's
grip.
His trade deals prioritizeAmerican workers over globalist
profits. The left needs chaos toderail this move movement before
the twenty twenty six midterms,where a strong conservative
showing could lock in Trump'sagenda for years. Let's break
(09:31):
down the mechanics of theirfunding. A single full page
Times ad like Walton's costupwards of a $150,000. That's
just one day's exposure.
Training 18,000 volunteersrequires venues, staff, travel,
and digital platforms, easilymillions in costs. Interactive
(09:51):
protest maps need coders,servers, and maintenance with
tech budgets rivaling smallstartups. Webinars for thousands
cost tens of thousands insoftware and personnel. Security
marshals, legal teams, and mediaconsultants adds millions more.
This isn't a grassroots budget.
It's a corporate one, likelyfunded by a network of donors
(10:12):
and NGOs with deep ties toprogressive causes. The Tides
Foundation, Open Society, andsimilar groups have funneled
billions into movements likethis for over decades. The
motives are clear. These donorsaren't do gooders. They're
strategists.
Trump's policies, bordersecurity, deregulation, America
(10:32):
first trade, threatened theirvision of open borders, global
trade, and woke ideologyembedded in every institution.
By funding no kings, they'rebetting on chaos to fracture
conservative unity, rally theirbase, and flip the political
landscape. They're not justfunding protests. They're
funding a narrative to paintconservatives as tyrants while
(10:53):
hiding their own power grab.Patriots, this is a call to
action.
Demand transparency. Push forinvestigations into protest
funding. Support lawmakers whoexpose these donors, like those
calling for IRS audits of NGOpolitical spending. Fund
conservative think tanks andjournalists digging into these
networks. Groups like JudicialWatch or Heritage Foundation
(11:15):
share their findings on x inyour communities with every
patriot you know.
The truth is our greatestweapon, and it's time to wield
it. We can't let the left'smoney machine drown out the
voice of the people. How do yourally four to 6,000,000 people
across 2,000 cities in justweeks? It's not magic. It's
(11:35):
organization, outrage, andsurgical timing.
The no kings protest didn'tsprout overnight. They exploded
after a carefully chosenflashpoint in Los Angeles. Anti
ICE protesters blockeddeportation buses, and Trump
responded with 1,200 NationalGuard troops and 400 marines,
leading to 44 arrests, tear gas,flashbangs, and viral videos
(11:58):
that sent the Internet ablaze.The fifty fifty one movement led
by Indivisible's Ezra Levin sawtheir opening and added hundreds
of protest events post LA. Pertheir own statements, this
wasn't a random uprising.
It was a calculated blitzdesigned to capitalize on public
anger and media frenzy. Thelogistics were staggering, like
(12:20):
something out of a corporateplaybook. The fifty fifty one
movement's website featuredinteractive protest maps,
pinpointing every rally from200,000 marchers in Los Angeles
to 750 in Ellenton, Florida, andeven 300 in Sitka, Alaska. They
trained 18,000 volunteers assecurity marshals and crowd
organizers, ensuring tightcontrol over their narrative and
(12:43):
minimizing rogue actors. The 32page toolkit available online
was a master class in protestplanning, coaching organizers on
nonviolence, media talkingpoints, legal preparation, even
how to handle hecklers or orcounter protesters.
They avoided Washington DC,where Trump threatened a very
big force and made Philadelphiatheir flagship with a 100,000
(13:04):
marchers to show people power.This wasn't a spur of the moment
tantrum. It was a machine builton decades of progressive
organizer, honed to perfection.Timing was the linchpin of their
success. The protest hit on June14, deliberately clashing with
Trump's $45,000,000 parade.
The m one Abrams tanks, thePaladin howitzers, the 6,600
(13:28):
soldiers, and a fireworksspectacle that lit up the DC
sky. The left knew the parade'soptics, tanks rolling through
the capital, would fuel theirking narrative, especially after
LA's crackdowns. Media outletslike CNN, MSNBC, and the New
York Times ran twenty four sevencoverage of the LA's tear gas
and arrests, amplifying theauthoritarian spin with
(13:51):
headlines like Trump's crackdownon dissent. This mirrors
historical protests. The '19sixty eight Democratic National
Convention riots in Chicago grewafter police clashed with anti
Vietnam demonstrators, turning alocal skirmish into a national
fire.
The 1999 WTO protest in Seattleexploded after tear gas footage
(14:12):
went viral, rallying antiglobalization activists. The
2,011 movement used social mediato scale fast. The two thousand
seventeen Women's March rode thewave of anti Trump sentiment
post two thousand sixteenelection. No Kings follows the
same playbook. Use a flashpointto ignite a broader cause, then
(14:33):
scale with it ruthlessly.
The coalition leveragedinfrastructure built over
decades, giving them a headstart conservatives need to
envy. Indivisible, founded in2016 by Ezra Levin and Leah
Greenberg, cut its teeth on thetwo thousand seventeen's Women's
March. Move On's been mobilizingprogressives since the nineteen
nineties, with email listsreaching the millions. And a
(14:55):
battle tested digital platform.The ACLU's activist network
spans all 50 states, with legalteams ready to challenge arrests
or file injunctions.
These groups had donor networks,trained organizers, and digital
tools locked and loaded. Theirwebinars prep thousands of
volunteers covering everythingfrom crowd safety to media
interviews. Their websitestreamlined sign ups with a
(15:17):
single click, connecting localorganizers to national
resources. This is a machineconservatives need to study and
replicate. Compare this toconservative rallies.
Trump's 2,016 campaign eventshad raw energy, thousands
packing arenas, but leveledlacked the level of NGO
machinery. The two thousand nineTea Party was true grassroots
(15:38):
with patriots meeting in thebackyards and demanding the
lower taxes, but it took monthsto scale and lacked the left's
digital polish. The twentytwenty Stop the Steel rallies
were passionate butdecentralized. Without the
unified toolkit or training, nokings deployed. The left's speed
is wake is a wake up call.
Conservatives need to build ourown infrastructure, organizer
(16:00):
training, digital platforms,rapid response teams for causes
like border security, tax cuts,or school choice. Imagine a
rally for secure borders scalingto 2,000 cities in weeks. Our
own maps, our own organizers,our own media push. It's time to
build that machine. Let's talkabout the speed itself.
(16:20):
Planning 2,000 events in weeksrequires not just passion, but
cash and coordination. ChristyWalton's June 8 ad was a public
signal, but behind it lies anetwork of donors and NGOs who
saw LA's crack down as their cueto escalate. The LA crackdowns
were the perfect spark. Thefifty fifty one movement's
(16:41):
toolkit urged organizers toamplify the LA narrative,
coaching them to frame Trump asa dictator. Media played along
with CNN running segment titledTrump's authoritarian turn and
MSNBC hosting panels ondemocracy under threat.
This wasn't organic growth. Itwas a manufactured wave built on
outrage and infrastructure. Theleft speed wasn't just about LA.
(17:05):
They'd been prepping for thismoment since Trump's 2024
victory, building on their Aprilhandoff protest against his
early policies like immigrationcrackdowns and deregulation.
Overall, the fifty fifty one'smovement coalition, 200 plus
groups had email lists, donornetworks, and trained organizers
ready to pivot.
(17:25):
Their webinars coveredeverything from protest safety
to legal rights, ensuringvolunteers were prepped and
unified. Their website mapsweren't just a tool. It was a
psychological weapon, showingprogressives a nationwide
movement they could join with aclick. This is mobilization at
scale, and it's why no kingswent from a spark to a wildfire
(17:45):
in weeks. Conservatives andpatriots, we need to match this
hustle.
The left's infrastructure givesthem a head start, but our
resolve is stronger. Startlocally. Join GOP chapters,
attend town halls, run forschool boards, train activists
to rally fast, like the left's18,000 volunteers, build digital
(18:06):
platforms, apps, websites, emaillists to mobilize patriots in
days, not months. Use ourwebsites to share strategies,
connect organizers, and planrallies for our priorities,
border security, tax cuts, andending woke education. The left
is not sleeping.
They are prepping for twentytwenty six midterms and the
twenty twenty eight presidentialelection using no kings to test
(18:30):
their mobilization muscle.They're betting on chaos to
fracture conservative unity.Patriots, we can't let them
outmaneuver us. Let's build ourown machine and fight back. The
no kings protesters waved signsreading, no thrones, no crowns,
no kings, and chanted, democracyfrom Philadelphia to San
Francisco, from Chicago to smalltown Wyoming.
(18:53):
Sounds patriotic on the surface,but patriots don't buy the hype.
Their real intention isn'tsaving the republic. It's
derailing a Trump's AmericaFirst agenda to pave the way for
progressive control. The fiftyfifty one movement's websites
list their grievances. Trump'smass deportation, defiance of
court orders, slashing publicservices, and what they call
(19:14):
civil rights attacks.
Let's unpack this nonsense andexpose their true motives layer
by layer. Start withdeportations. Trump's enforcing
immigration laws, targetingillegal entries. The left calls
it cruel, but it's common sense.Secure borders, protect American
workers, communities, andsovereignty.
Without borders, we're not anation. We're a free for all.
(19:36):
Court defiance. Trump's pushingback on activist judges who
block conservative policies,like halting deportations or
deregulation. These judgesaren't neutral arbiters.
They're progressive operativesin robes, undermining the will
of the people who elected Trump.Slashing public services. That's
about cutting bloat. Programsdriving our almost
(19:58):
37,000,000,000,000 nationaldebt. We can't keep borrowing
from China to fund wastefulbureaucracies while our
infrastructure crumbles andveterans go without care.
And civil rights attacks? It's adog whistle for the opposing
woke mandates. Critical racetheory in school that teaches
kids to hate their country,gender policies in sports that
erase women's opportunities, DEIquotas that prioritize identity
(20:22):
over merit. The left's not madabout kings. They're furious
Trump is delivering what weelected him for, secure borders,
less government, and Americanjobs.
Their signs tell the real story,and it's not about democracy. In
San Francisco, marchers heldbanners reading, from Palestine
to Mexico, border walls must go,tying their cause to globalist
(20:44):
open border fantasies. InPhiladelphia, federal employees
don't work for kings, implyingTrump's a dictator when he's
enforcing laws passed bycongress. In Hawaii, no dictator
day. A cheap shot at a presidentexecuting his mandate.
In Alaska, some chanted for kingsalmon. Cute, I guess, but it
(21:05):
shows their scattershot agenda.More about vibes than substance.
This is about open borders,globalism, and woke ideology,
not protecting the republic. Thefifty fifty one movements
coalition, Indivisible, ACLU,MOVE ON, unions like the
American Federation of Teachershas a track record of pushing
policies that balloon governmentpower from universal health care
(21:28):
to green mandates that crippleenergy independence.
Their endgame is crystal clear.Fire up their base for the
twenty twenty six midterms andtwenty twenty eight presidential
election, painting conservativesas tyrants to flip congress and
the White House. They're notjust protesting Trump. They are
laying the groundwork todismantle conservative values,
(21:48):
limited government, individualliberty, national sovereignty
for a progressive utopia whereelites call the shots. No kings
is just a test run, a show offorce to see how they can
mobilize millions and dominatethe narrative.
They are betting on chaos tofracture conservative unity and
rally their voters. Chaos istheir weapon, and they're
(22:08):
wielding it with precision.Incidents like tear gas in LA
after bottles were thrown and apolitically motivated shooting
in Salt Lake City, as well asfour protesters struck by a car
in San Francisco feed theirnarrative of a nation under
siege. But who exactly benefits?Oh, it's the swamp, the elites,
(22:29):
the bureaucrats, the NGOs whothrive on the division.
In LA, police reported 12officers injured and 561 arrests
nationwide. In Saint Louis,traffic gridlocked for hours,
costing businesses andcommuters. Small towns like
Pinedale, Wyoming with only 200marchers strained local police
(22:50):
budgets. This disruption isn'tprogress. It's calculated to
destabilize communities andpaint Trump as the villain.
The left's framing theseincidents as proof of
authoritarianism, but they arethe ones stoking the fire.
History gives perspective, andit's a playbook conservatives
need to study. In 1968, the leftcalled Nixon a warmonger to
(23:13):
rally protesters. Today, it'sTrump as a as a king. The
playbook's old.
Pick a noble cause, twist it todivide, and mobilize. The
parade's optics played rightinto their hands, and we need to
own it. I'll be straight.45,000,000 for tanks, jets, and
fireworks stings whenconservatives hate big spending.
(23:34):
The parade honored our military,but the price tag and DC setting
gave the left ammo to cry king.
Trump's intent was patriotic,not ego driven, but
conservatives must call outmissteps to keep our movement
credible. The left wants usdefending parade costs instead
of uniting our for our ownpriorities, border security,
(23:55):
lower taxes, and ending wokenonsense. They're betting on
chaos to wear us down. Theirreal intention goes beyond
protests. It's about reshapingAmerica into a progressive
dystopia, open borders thaterode sovereignty, global trade
that prioritizes profit overAmerican workers, and local
ideology embedded in schools,workplaces, and government.
(24:17):
This is a long game. 2026, 2028,2032, and beyond. They're not
just protesting Trump. They arelaying the groundwork to
dismantle the conservativevalues that make America great.
Patriots, we need to see throughtheir game.
This isn't about democracy. It'sabout control. The left's using
(24:39):
no kings to test theirmobilization muscle, rally their
base, and sow division. We can'tlet them win. Our response must
be strategic.
Unite behind America Firstpolicies, expose their motives,
and build a movement thatoutlasts their chaos. Demand
accountability from lawmakers.Support conservative media and
(24:59):
think tanks, organize ralliesfor our own priorities. The
left's playing chess, and it'stime we we match their moves
with our own. Folks, the nokings protests are a red alert
for every American who valuesliberty over tyranny.
This isn't just about the45,000,000 parade. It's a
progressive conspiracybankrolled by billionaires like
(25:21):
Christy Walton and NGOs likeIndivisible to derail Trump's
America First agenda and reshapeour nation into a woke globalist
nightmare. The parade's costwasn't our finest hour.
Conservatives don't cheer bigspending, and it handed the bill
at the talking point to cryking. But Trump's fighting for
what we elected him for, secureborders that protect our
(25:42):
communities, less governmentthat frees our businesses,
American jobs that lift ourworkers.
With three and a half yearsleft, he's got time to deliver,
and we're not writing him off.The left's playing a long game,
sowing chaos to fracture usbefore the twenty twenty six
midterms and the twenty twentyeight presidential election.
They are organized, funded, andrelentless, but we we're built
(26:03):
tougher, forged in the resolveof patriots who know what's at
stake. Let's break down a battleplan because this fight's
demanding action, just words.First, back Trump's policies
with relentless pressure.
Call your senators, yourrepresentatives. Flood their
offices with letters, emails,and phone calls. Demand strong
(26:24):
borders that stop illegalimmigration. Spending cuts that
tackle our $37,000,000,000,000in debt. And an end to woke
mandates like critical racetheory or DEI quotas that divide
our nation.
Check the congressional budgetoffice who reports yourself.
Don't let don't let elites spinyou on numbers. Support
lawmakers who fight for Americafirst. Trade deals that protect
(26:45):
our workers. Deregulation thatunleashes our economy.
Immigration laws that prioritizeour citizens. Hold rhinos
accountable. Primary those whobend to the swamp. Every call,
every vote, every letter buildsour momentum. Second, expose the
money trail behind theseprotests.
Demand transparency. Push forinvestigations into donors like
(27:09):
Christy Walton, NGOs likeIndivisible, and groups like the
Open Society Foundations. Theleft hides behind democracy, but
their cash flow tells the truth.Support lawmakers calling for
IRS audits of NGO politicalspending, fund conservatives
think think tanks like HeritageFoundation or journalists like
(27:29):
those at Judicial Watch who diginto these networks. Share these
findings on x in yourcommunities with every patriot
you know.
The truth is our greatestweapon. Wield it like a sword.
Expose the elites who think theycan buy our republic. Third,
unite for 2026 and beyond. Builda movement that outworks the
(27:52):
left.
Join local GOP chapters. Attendtown halls. Run for school
boards or city councils. Vote inprimaries to oust the
Republicans who sell out ourestablishment. Organize rallies
for our priorities.
Train activists to mobilizefast. Build digital platforms,
apps, websites, email lists torally patriots in days, not
(28:14):
months. Use our conservativewebsites to share strategies,
connect with organizers, andplan events. The two thousand
nine Tea Party flipped the housein 2010 with backyard meetings
and just sheer grit. We can dothe same, but bigger, smarter,
faster.
Hell, you just even share thisepisode with someone that might
be interested. Think long term.The left's playing a fifty year
(28:38):
game to lock in progressivecontrol from schools to courts
to congress. We need to matchit. In the nineteen eighties,
Reagan built a conservativemachine, Think tanks, media,
grassroots, that lasted decades.
We need that now. Supportconservative media like Newsmax
or OANN, and this and otherpodcasts like Vince or The
(29:00):
Verdict with Ted Cruz. We're notjust we're warriors. Fun think
tanks like Turning Point USA orHeritage that shape policy and
train leaders. Mentor youngconservatives to carry the
torch.
School boards, statelegislators, congress, build
infrastructure. The left's gottheir machine. Let's build ours
(29:22):
stronger and fiercer. Thisfight's bigger than the one
protest, one election, or onepresident. It's about the
America our founders envisioned.
No kings, no tyrants, justliberty. The no kings crowd
wants you distracted, divided,and defeated. They are betting
on chaos to wear us down, tomake us give up. But we're
(29:43):
patriots, forged in resolve,fueled by truth, driven by the
fire of freedom. Every call youmake to your senator, every
rally you join, every vote youcast in 2026 builds our
movement.
Together, we'll dismantle thisprogressive conspiracy and
secure an America where freedomreigns, where the people, not
(30:03):
the elite elites, call theshots. Well, it's about that
time, folks. I hope everyone gotsomething from this episode. In
truth, the idea really came frommy father while we were talking
over Father's Day weekend. Hewas asking, how did this No
Kings protest get so big soquick?
I was on my exercise walk whiletalking with him and started
(30:24):
seeing the masses build indowntown Knoxville, Tennessee.
On the drive back home, that'swhen the idea clicked and my
research began. So thank you,dad. And this is John O'Connor
holding the lineunapologetically. Stay strong,
stay fierce, and I'll see younext time.
Welcome to O'Connor's Rights Sand, where we
(00:02):
plan our flag for Americanliberty and swing a sledgehammer
at the bloated, tyrannicalgovernment strangling our
freedoms. It's Tuesday, June 17,and good morning, patriots. I
hope everyone is having anamazing day. I'm John O'Connor,
your host, and I'm fired up.You're joining me for this epic
marathon of truth.
Last week, we tore into theTrump Musk feud, and your
(00:23):
feedback was awesome. Well,almost all of it, and I'll get
to that shortly. So I want youto know I'm reading every single
word of your comments and yourmessages. This movement's about
us, the people standing shoulderto shoulder for the America our
founders envisioned. A nation ofliberty, not control, where the
government serves us, not theelites.
(00:44):
Some of you called me out forquestioning Trump's bill,
thinking I'm wavering as a Trumpsupporter. Let's set the record
straight. I'm all in for Americafirst. Secure borders that
protect our communities, lowertaxes that keep your hard earned
money, jobs brought back home toAmerican workers, and a
government that respects theconstitution. But holding our
(01:06):
leaders accountable isn'tbetrayal.
It's principle. We aren't theleft. We are not democrats. We
don't follow blindly. We fightwisely, keeping our movement
sharp and unstoppable.
In the conservative movement, wecan have disagreements or
arguments, but we don't shunfellow conservatives who have a
differing view. We listen, weengage, we discuss, and then we
(01:29):
coalesce. I'm always going tocall it as I see it. I owe you
that as the listener. And if youwant me to blindly foul any
political leader, then I hate tosay, maybe this show is not for
you.
At the end of the day, am Ihappy with Trump? The answer is
yes. But are there things hecould do better? The answer is
also yes. But there are hundredsof things even I could do
(01:51):
better.
I just wanted to address thatright off the bat. So now let's
just get into the rest of theshow. Today, episode two is an
unapologetic, exhaustive diveinto the no kings protest that
erupted June 14 across 2,000cities. Millions marched,
slamming president Trump's$45,000,000 military parade and
(02:13):
his bold leadership. This wasn'ta spontaneous cry for freedom.
It was calculated progressiveassault on our republic designed
to undermine the will of thepeople. So who's bankrolling
this chaos? How did it explodeso fast? And what's the real
endgame? We are peeling backevery layer of this conspiracy,
(02:34):
exposing the money, themachinery, the motives, and the
stakes.
This isn't just a podcast. It'sa battle for America's soul, and
we're not sitting it out. We'regoing along today, patriots,
because the truth demands it. Sograb your coffee, your energy
drink, or your morning proteinshake, buckle up, and let's
(02:54):
stand tall for America, theAmerica our founders bled for.
We're dismantling thisprogressive plot piece by piece
and rallying every patriot tofight back.
(03:19):
Let's dive into the heart ofthis, Patriots. Nothing as
colossal as the no kingsprotest, with four to 6,000,000
people marching in over 2,000cities on June 14, happens
without a mountain of cash.These weren't backyard rallies
thrown together by concernedcitizens. They were a high
budget, meticulously coordinatedstrike, time to clash with
(03:40):
president Trump's $45,000,000military parade celebrating the
US army's two hundred andfiftieth anniversary, his 70
birthday, and flag day. Thefifty fifty one movement, backed
by over 200 progressiveorganizations, such as
Indivisible, Move On, the ACLU,American Federation of Teachers,
(04:01):
Communications Workers ofAmerica, orchestrated this
operation like a militarycampaign.
So who's writing the checks?Who's got the motive, the means,
and the audacity to pull thisoff? So first up, Christy
Walton, Walmart heiress with anet worth of 19,300,000,000.0.
(04:22):
On June 8, she bankrolled a fullpage New York Times ad urging
Americans to mobilize for noking's day. Walton's no newcomer
to anti Trump funding.
She poured millions millionsinto groups like the Lincoln
Project, which backed KamalaHarris in 2024, and the welcome
pack pushing pro immigrationnarratives that undermine border
(04:43):
security. Her ad screamed, savedemocracy, but let's call it
what it was. Partisan politicsdressed up as principle. Trump's
America First policies tradetrade deals that protect
American workers from unfaircompetition, deregulation that
frees small businesses frombureaucratic shackles, and
(05:04):
border security that enforcesour laws, threaten the globalist
elite's grip on power. Waltonand her aren't fighting for the
little guy.
They're fighting to keep theirinfluence over a system that
prioritizes profits overpatriotism. But Walton's just
the visible tip of a much largericeberg. The fifty fifty one
movement's coalition ran alogistical beast that screams
(05:27):
big money, bigger than onebillionaire could cover alone.
They trained 18,000 volunteersacross all 50 states, hosted an
ACLU Know Your Rights Call with18,000 participants, and built
interactive protest mapspinpointing every rally from
Philadelphia's 100,000 marchersto Sitka's Alaska's 300.
(05:50):
Indivisible's 32 page toolkit,freely available online, was a
masterclass in protest planning.
How to manage crowds, spin medianarratives, handle arrests, even
dodge legal repercussions. Thatlevel of coordination doesn't
come from grassroots donationsor bake sales. It's a
multimillion dollar operation,likely costing tens of millions
(06:13):
when you factor in staff, tech,travel, and advertising. So who
else is in the game? Groups likeOpen Society Foundations,
notorious for fundingprogressive causes worldwide,
are likely players, thoughconcrete receipts are tough to
pin down without a subpoena.
Political reports between 2016and 2020 show the open society
(06:34):
has a history of bankrollingmovements like Black Lives
Matter and Occupy Wall Street.The American Federation of
Teachers with 20,000,000 inpolitical spending in 2024 is a
key player. Why is a teacher youteachers union funding anti
Trump protests? Because Trump'spush to defund woke education,
critical race theory, DEIquotas, gender gender thought in
(06:57):
classrooms threatens theirideological stranglehold on our
moot schools. MoveOn, with30,000,000 in annual revenue,
thrives on mobilizing left wingoutrage, and their email lists
reach millions.
The ACLU with a $500,000,000annual budget has shifted from
defending free speech to actingas a progressive attack dog,
(07:19):
following lawsuits againstTrump's policies every single
freaking turn, deportations,deregulation, you name it. Let's
zoom out for historical contextbecause this isn't new. The two
thousand seventeen women'smarch, which rallied three to
5,000,000 people, was backed byover 400 NGOs and millions in
donations. The twenty twentyBlack Lives Matter protests saw
(07:43):
over 10,000,000,000 in corporatepledges, with companies like
Amazon and Nike jumping on theband bandwagon. Go back further.
The nineteen sixties antiVietnam protests were partly
funded by wealthy donors likeCyrus Eaton, a businessman with
leftist ties. The two thousandthree Iraq war protests had
MoveOn's 1,500,000 ad campaignfueling the fire. The two
(08:06):
thousand eleven Occupy WallStreet movement kicked off by ad
busters with grants from theTides Foundation morphed into a
progressive wish list. And eventhe two thousand seventeen
Women's March had plannedparenthood No Kings is the
latest chapter in this playbook.Billionaires and NGOs funneling
cash to stoke division andundermine conservative
(08:27):
governance.
Contrast that with conservativemovements. The two thousand nine
Tea Party was true grassroots.No billionaire ads, just
patriots in backyards demandinglower taxes and less government.
It did take months to scale, butit flipped the house in 02/2010.
Trump's 2,016 rallies werefueled by raw energy, not NGO
(08:49):
machines.
No kings is just astroturf, pureand simple, elite money
masquerading as people power. Sowhy now? Trump's policies are
hitting where the left where ithurts. His mass deportations,
backed by 40% of Americans,enforce immigration laws the
left wants ignored. Hisderegulation push is dismantling
(09:11):
bureaucratic red tape, freeingbusinesses from the swamp's
grip.
His trade deals prioritizeAmerican workers over globalist
profits. The left needs chaos toderail this move movement before
the twenty twenty six midterms,where a strong conservative
showing could lock in Trump'sagenda for years. Let's break
(09:31):
down the mechanics of theirfunding. A single full page
Times ad like Walton's costupwards of a $150,000. That's
just one day's exposure.
Training 18,000 volunteersrequires venues, staff, travel,
and digital platforms, easilymillions in costs. Interactive
(09:51):
protest maps need coders,servers, and maintenance with
tech budgets rivaling smallstartups. Webinars for thousands
cost tens of thousands insoftware and personnel. Security
marshals, legal teams, and mediaconsultants adds millions more.
This isn't a grassroots budget.
It's a corporate one, likelyfunded by a network of donors
(10:12):
and NGOs with deep ties toprogressive causes. The Tides
Foundation, Open Society, andsimilar groups have funneled
billions into movements likethis for over decades. The
motives are clear. These donorsaren't do gooders. They're
strategists.
Trump's policies, bordersecurity, deregulation, America
(10:32):
first trade, threatened theirvision of open borders, global
trade, and woke ideologyembedded in every institution.
By funding no kings, they'rebetting on chaos to fracture
conservative unity, rally theirbase, and flip the political
landscape. They're not justfunding protests. They're
funding a narrative to paintconservatives as tyrants while
(10:53):
hiding their own power grab.Patriots, this is a call to
action.
Demand transparency. Push forinvestigations into protest
funding. Support lawmakers whoexpose these donors, like those
calling for IRS audits of NGOpolitical spending. Fund
conservative think tanks andjournalists digging into these
networks. Groups like JudicialWatch or Heritage Foundation
(11:15):
share their findings on x inyour communities with every
patriot you know.
The truth is our greatestweapon, and it's time to wield
it. We can't let the left'smoney machine drown out the
voice of the people. How do yourally four to 6,000,000 people
across 2,000 cities in justweeks? It's not magic. It's
(11:35):
organization, outrage, andsurgical timing.
The no kings protest didn'tsprout overnight. They exploded
after a carefully chosenflashpoint in Los Angeles. Anti
ICE protesters blockeddeportation buses, and Trump
responded with 1,200 NationalGuard troops and 400 marines,
leading to 44 arrests, tear gas,flashbangs, and viral videos
(11:58):
that sent the Internet ablaze.The fifty fifty one movement led
by Indivisible's Ezra Levin sawtheir opening and added hundreds
of protest events post LA. Pertheir own statements, this
wasn't a random uprising.
It was a calculated blitzdesigned to capitalize on public
anger and media frenzy. Thelogistics were staggering, like
(12:20):
something out of a corporateplaybook. The fifty fifty one
movement's website featuredinteractive protest maps,
pinpointing every rally from200,000 marchers in Los Angeles
to 750 in Ellenton, Florida, andeven 300 in Sitka, Alaska. They
trained 18,000 volunteers assecurity marshals and crowd
organizers, ensuring tightcontrol over their narrative and
(12:43):
minimizing rogue actors. The 32page toolkit available online
was a master class in protestplanning, coaching organizers on
nonviolence, media talkingpoints, legal preparation, even
how to handle hecklers or orcounter protesters.
They avoided Washington DC,where Trump threatened a very
big force and made Philadelphiatheir flagship with a 100,000
(13:04):
marchers to show people power.This wasn't a spur of the moment
tantrum. It was a machine builton decades of progressive
organizer, honed to perfection.Timing was the linchpin of their
success. The protest hit on June14, deliberately clashing with
Trump's $45,000,000 parade.
The m one Abrams tanks, thePaladin howitzers, the 6,600
(13:28):
soldiers, and a fireworksspectacle that lit up the DC
sky. The left knew the parade'soptics, tanks rolling through
the capital, would fuel theirking narrative, especially after
LA's crackdowns. Media outletslike CNN, MSNBC, and the New
York Times ran twenty four sevencoverage of the LA's tear gas
and arrests, amplifying theauthoritarian spin with
(13:51):
headlines like Trump's crackdownon dissent. This mirrors
historical protests. The '19sixty eight Democratic National
Convention riots in Chicago grewafter police clashed with anti
Vietnam demonstrators, turning alocal skirmish into a national
fire.
The 1999 WTO protest in Seattleexploded after tear gas footage
(14:12):
went viral, rallying antiglobalization activists. The
2,011 movement used social mediato scale fast. The two thousand
seventeen Women's March rode thewave of anti Trump sentiment
post two thousand sixteenelection. No Kings follows the
same playbook. Use a flashpointto ignite a broader cause, then
(14:33):
scale with it ruthlessly.
The coalition leveragedinfrastructure built over
decades, giving them a headstart conservatives need to
envy. Indivisible, founded in2016 by Ezra Levin and Leah
Greenberg, cut its teeth on thetwo thousand seventeen's Women's
March. Move On's been mobilizingprogressives since the nineteen
nineties, with email listsreaching the millions. And a
(14:55):
battle tested digital platform.The ACLU's activist network
spans all 50 states, with legalteams ready to challenge arrests
or file injunctions.
These groups had donor networks,trained organizers, and digital
tools locked and loaded. Theirwebinars prep thousands of
volunteers covering everythingfrom crowd safety to media
interviews. Their websitestreamlined sign ups with a
(15:17):
single click, connecting localorganizers to national
resources. This is a machineconservatives need to study and
replicate. Compare this toconservative rallies.
Trump's 2,016 campaign eventshad raw energy, thousands
packing arenas, but leveledlacked the level of NGO
machinery. The two thousand nineTea Party was true grassroots
(15:38):
with patriots meeting in thebackyards and demanding the
lower taxes, but it took monthsto scale and lacked the left's
digital polish. The twentytwenty Stop the Steel rallies
were passionate butdecentralized. Without the
unified toolkit or training, nokings deployed. The left's speed
is wake is a wake up call.
Conservatives need to build ourown infrastructure, organizer
(16:00):
training, digital platforms,rapid response teams for causes
like border security, tax cuts,or school choice. Imagine a
rally for secure borders scalingto 2,000 cities in weeks. Our
own maps, our own organizers,our own media push. It's time to
build that machine. Let's talkabout the speed itself.
(16:20):
Planning 2,000 events in weeksrequires not just passion, but
cash and coordination. ChristyWalton's June 8 ad was a public
signal, but behind it lies anetwork of donors and NGOs who
saw LA's crack down as their cueto escalate. The LA crackdowns
were the perfect spark. Thefifty fifty one movement's
(16:41):
toolkit urged organizers toamplify the LA narrative,
coaching them to frame Trump asa dictator. Media played along
with CNN running segment titledTrump's authoritarian turn and
MSNBC hosting panels ondemocracy under threat.
This wasn't organic growth. Itwas a manufactured wave built on
outrage and infrastructure. Theleft speed wasn't just about LA.
(17:05):
They'd been prepping for thismoment since Trump's 2024
victory, building on their Aprilhandoff protest against his
early policies like immigrationcrackdowns and deregulation.
Overall, the fifty fifty one'smovement coalition, 200 plus
groups had email lists, donornetworks, and trained organizers
ready to pivot.
(17:25):
Their webinars coveredeverything from protest safety
to legal rights, ensuringvolunteers were prepped and
unified. Their website mapsweren't just a tool. It was a
psychological weapon, showingprogressives a nationwide
movement they could join with aclick. This is mobilization at
scale, and it's why no kingswent from a spark to a wildfire
(17:45):
in weeks. Conservatives andpatriots, we need to match this
hustle.
The left's infrastructure givesthem a head start, but our
resolve is stronger. Startlocally. Join GOP chapters,
attend town halls, run forschool boards, train activists
to rally fast, like the left's18,000 volunteers, build digital
(18:06):
platforms, apps, websites, emaillists to mobilize patriots in
days, not months. Use ourwebsites to share strategies,
connect organizers, and planrallies for our priorities,
border security, tax cuts, andending woke education. The left
is not sleeping.
They are prepping for twentytwenty six midterms and the
twenty twenty eight presidentialelection using no kings to test
(18:30):
their mobilization muscle.They're betting on chaos to
fracture conservative unity.Patriots, we can't let them
outmaneuver us. Let's build ourown machine and fight back. The
no kings protesters waved signsreading, no thrones, no crowns,
no kings, and chanted, democracyfrom Philadelphia to San
Francisco, from Chicago to smalltown Wyoming.
(18:53):
Sounds patriotic on the surface,but patriots don't buy the hype.
Their real intention isn'tsaving the republic. It's
derailing a Trump's AmericaFirst agenda to pave the way for
progressive control. The fiftyfifty one movement's websites
list their grievances. Trump'smass deportation, defiance of
court orders, slashing publicservices, and what they call
(19:14):
civil rights attacks.
Let's unpack this nonsense andexpose their true motives layer
by layer. Start withdeportations. Trump's enforcing
immigration laws, targetingillegal entries. The left calls
it cruel, but it's common sense.Secure borders, protect American
workers, communities, andsovereignty.
Without borders, we're not anation. We're a free for all.
(19:36):
Court defiance. Trump's pushingback on activist judges who
block conservative policies,like halting deportations or
deregulation. These judgesaren't neutral arbiters.
They're progressive operativesin robes, undermining the will
of the people who elected Trump.Slashing public services. That's
about cutting bloat. Programsdriving our almost
(19:58):
37,000,000,000,000 nationaldebt. We can't keep borrowing
from China to fund wastefulbureaucracies while our
infrastructure crumbles andveterans go without care.
And civil rights attacks? It's adog whistle for the opposing
woke mandates. Critical racetheory in school that teaches
kids to hate their country,gender policies in sports that
erase women's opportunities, DEIquotas that prioritize identity
(20:22):
over merit. The left's not madabout kings. They're furious
Trump is delivering what weelected him for, secure borders,
less government, and Americanjobs.
Their signs tell the real story,and it's not about democracy. In
San Francisco, marchers heldbanners reading, from Palestine
to Mexico, border walls must go,tying their cause to globalist
(20:44):
open border fantasies. InPhiladelphia, federal employees
don't work for kings, implyingTrump's a dictator when he's
enforcing laws passed bycongress. In Hawaii, no dictator
day. A cheap shot at a presidentexecuting his mandate.
In Alaska, some chanted for kingsalmon. Cute, I guess, but it
(21:05):
shows their scattershot agenda.More about vibes than substance.
This is about open borders,globalism, and woke ideology,
not protecting the republic. Thefifty fifty one movements
coalition, Indivisible, ACLU,MOVE ON, unions like the
American Federation of Teachershas a track record of pushing
policies that balloon governmentpower from universal health care
(21:28):
to green mandates that crippleenergy independence.
Their endgame is crystal clear.Fire up their base for the
twenty twenty six midterms andtwenty twenty eight presidential
election, painting conservativesas tyrants to flip congress and
the White House. They're notjust protesting Trump. They are
laying the groundwork todismantle conservative values,
(21:48):
limited government, individualliberty, national sovereignty
for a progressive utopia whereelites call the shots. No kings
is just a test run, a show offorce to see how they can
mobilize millions and dominatethe narrative.
They are betting on chaos tofracture conservative unity and
rally their voters. Chaos istheir weapon, and they're
(22:08):
wielding it with precision.Incidents like tear gas in LA
after bottles were thrown and apolitically motivated shooting
in Salt Lake City, as well asfour protesters struck by a car
in San Francisco feed theirnarrative of a nation under
siege. But who exactly benefits?Oh, it's the swamp, the elites,
(22:29):
the bureaucrats, the NGOs whothrive on the division.
In LA, police reported 12officers injured and 561 arrests
nationwide. In Saint Louis,traffic gridlocked for hours,
costing businesses andcommuters. Small towns like
Pinedale, Wyoming with only 200marchers strained local police
(22:50):
budgets. This disruption isn'tprogress. It's calculated to
destabilize communities andpaint Trump as the villain.
The left's framing theseincidents as proof of
authoritarianism, but they arethe ones stoking the fire.
History gives perspective, andit's a playbook conservatives
need to study. In 1968, the leftcalled Nixon a warmonger to
(23:13):
rally protesters. Today, it'sTrump as a as a king. The
playbook's old.
Pick a noble cause, twist it todivide, and mobilize. The
parade's optics played rightinto their hands, and we need to
own it. I'll be straight.45,000,000 for tanks, jets, and
fireworks stings whenconservatives hate big spending.
(23:34):
The parade honored our military,but the price tag and DC setting
gave the left ammo to cry king.
Trump's intent was patriotic,not ego driven, but
conservatives must call outmissteps to keep our movement
credible. The left wants usdefending parade costs instead
of uniting our for our ownpriorities, border security,
(23:55):
lower taxes, and ending wokenonsense. They're betting on
chaos to wear us down. Theirreal intention goes beyond
protests. It's about reshapingAmerica into a progressive
dystopia, open borders thaterode sovereignty, global trade
that prioritizes profit overAmerican workers, and local
ideology embedded in schools,workplaces, and government.
(24:17):
This is a long game. 2026, 2028,2032, and beyond. They're not
just protesting Trump. They arelaying the groundwork to
dismantle the conservativevalues that make America great.
Patriots, we need to see throughtheir game.
This isn't about democracy. It'sabout control. The left's using
(24:39):
no kings to test theirmobilization muscle, rally their
base, and sow division. We can'tlet them win. Our response must
be strategic.
Unite behind America Firstpolicies, expose their motives,
and build a movement thatoutlasts their chaos. Demand
accountability from lawmakers.Support conservative media and
(24:59):
think tanks, organize ralliesfor our own priorities. The
left's playing chess, and it'stime we we match their moves
with our own. Folks, the nokings protests are a red alert
for every American who valuesliberty over tyranny.
This isn't just about the45,000,000 parade. It's a
progressive conspiracybankrolled by billionaires like
(25:21):
Christy Walton and NGOs likeIndivisible to derail Trump's
America First agenda and reshapeour nation into a woke globalist
nightmare. The parade's costwasn't our finest hour.
Conservatives don't cheer bigspending, and it handed the bill
at the talking point to cryking. But Trump's fighting for
what we elected him for, secureborders that protect our
(25:42):
communities, less governmentthat frees our businesses,
American jobs that lift ourworkers.
With three and a half yearsleft, he's got time to deliver,
and we're not writing him off.The left's playing a long game,
sowing chaos to fracture usbefore the twenty twenty six
midterms and the twenty twentyeight presidential election.
They are organized, funded, andrelentless, but we we're built
(26:03):
tougher, forged in the resolveof patriots who know what's at
stake. Let's break down a battleplan because this fight's
demanding action, just words.First, back Trump's policies
with relentless pressure.
Call your senators, yourrepresentatives. Flood their
offices with letters, emails,and phone calls. Demand strong
(26:24):
borders that stop illegalimmigration. Spending cuts that
tackle our $37,000,000,000,000in debt. And an end to woke
mandates like critical racetheory or DEI quotas that divide
our nation.
Check the congressional budgetoffice who reports yourself.
Don't let don't let elites spinyou on numbers. Support
lawmakers who fight for Americafirst. Trade deals that protect
(26:45):
our workers. Deregulation thatunleashes our economy.
Immigration laws that prioritizeour citizens. Hold rhinos
accountable. Primary those whobend to the swamp. Every call,
every vote, every letter buildsour momentum. Second, expose the
money trail behind theseprotests.
Demand transparency. Push forinvestigations into donors like
(27:09):
Christy Walton, NGOs likeIndivisible, and groups like the
Open Society Foundations. Theleft hides behind democracy, but
their cash flow tells the truth.Support lawmakers calling for
IRS audits of NGO politicalspending, fund conservatives
think think tanks like HeritageFoundation or journalists like
(27:29):
those at Judicial Watch who diginto these networks. Share these
findings on x in yourcommunities with every patriot
you know.
The truth is our greatestweapon. Wield it like a sword.
Expose the elites who think theycan buy our republic. Third,
unite for 2026 and beyond. Builda movement that outworks the
(27:52):
left.
Join local GOP chapters. Attendtown halls. Run for school
boards or city councils. Vote inprimaries to oust the
Republicans who sell out ourestablishment. Organize rallies
for our priorities.
Train activists to mobilizefast. Build digital platforms,
apps, websites, email lists torally patriots in days, not
(28:14):
months. Use our conservativewebsites to share strategies,
connect with organizers, andplan events. The two thousand
nine Tea Party flipped the housein 2010 with backyard meetings
and just sheer grit. We can dothe same, but bigger, smarter,
faster.
Hell, you just even share thisepisode with someone that might
be interested. Think long term.The left's playing a fifty year
(28:38):
game to lock in progressivecontrol from schools to courts
to congress. We need to matchit. In the nineteen eighties,
Reagan built a conservativemachine, Think tanks, media,
grassroots, that lasted decades.
We need that now. Supportconservative media like Newsmax
or OANN, and this and otherpodcasts like Vince or The
(29:00):
Verdict with Ted Cruz. We're notjust we're warriors. Fun think
tanks like Turning Point USA orHeritage that shape policy and
train leaders. Mentor youngconservatives to carry the
torch.
School boards, statelegislators, congress, build
infrastructure. The left's gottheir machine. Let's build ours
(29:22):
stronger and fiercer. Thisfight's bigger than the one
protest, one election, or onepresident. It's about the
America our founders envisioned.
No kings, no tyrants, justliberty. The no kings crowd
wants you distracted, divided,and defeated. They are betting
on chaos to wear us down, tomake us give up. But we're
(29:43):
patriots, forged in resolve,fueled by truth, driven by the
fire of freedom. Every call youmake to your senator, every
rally you join, every vote youcast in 2026 builds our
movement.
Together, we'll dismantle thisprogressive conspiracy and
secure an America where freedomreigns, where the people, not
(30:03):
the elite elites, call theshots. Well, it's about that
time, folks. I hope everyone gotsomething from this episode. In
truth, the idea really came frommy father while we were talking
over Father's Day weekend. Hewas asking, how did this No
Kings protest get so big soquick?
I was on my exercise walk whiletalking with him and started
(30:24):
seeing the masses build indowntown Knoxville, Tennessee.
On the drive back home, that'swhen the idea clicked and my
research began. So thank you,dad. And this is John O'Connor
holding the lineunapologetically. Stay strong,
stay fierce, and I'll see younext time.
