another big turnout today. and they say, and it s quite true, those protests have always been peaceful, but it s worth noting after that 2 million people turned up on the streets to protest against the government s decision, chief executive carrie lam s decision not to completely scrap the bill, she didn t take any notice of that. the government didn t move. so here they are back again. we re getting his much bigger protest about to kick off. in fact, it s probably just kicked off now. so this city remains in a state of protest. and i spoke to the convener of the main protest, and she said until we get what we want, until we get that bill scrapped, until we get an independent investigation on the place action on june 12th, we are going to continue to come out. we don t know how and when but it s not over yet, anna. yeah, i think it s fair to say, andrew, that there is a real sense of desperation amongst these younge people.
we re in the b.s. era. it doesn t matter what reality s-it matters what the perception is and be good for trump. for trump himself has always been an ever shifting justification. he doesn t have stable truths. whatever comes out of his mouth is what he thinks will benefit him the most in that exact second and you see laura ingram taking her cues from that. it was something trump said that was not true, which she then said other people had said which remain untrue but true to what the president has said. if your head is spinning that s the point. it s creating a sense much disorientation. at the end of the day you think there are people who are against trump and there are people who are not and regardless what the facts are, this is, i know this word gets abused so much in this day and age but this is classic gaslighting. the gaslighting story is oh, no that lamp didn t move. it must be your imagination.
[ cheers and applause ] all right. so you think you can get an unanswered shot from biden when you say some people want to go back to obama/biden and to hillary but i m not going to name them. come on. my point is this is honesty here, okay? this is a lot bigger than one candidate or even one cycle. i believe we re in a moment between periods of american history. every 30, 40, 50 years, you come to one of these hinge points, the beginning of the reagan era was one. and the reagan era has lasted all the way until now. it s constrained how democrats and republicans have behaved since they got into office. the problem is it didn t work. the whole idea, and democrats bought into this, too, was that rising tide lifts all boats. as long as we make sure there is growth, everything will take care of itself. the problem is you start the clock right around the time i was born. what you find is the rising tide rose, but most of the boats didn t budge. most people s median income didn t
