Being in Washington this weekend for this military parade was a hod. I have to say this town was empty. It really
00:00:05
was. He had his birthday military parade. The event included over 6,000 soldiers and 100 tanks and probably far
00:00:11
less than the expected 200,000 attendees. It was a ghost town. I just enjoyed reveling in how stupid and lame
00:00:17
this thing was. And there's no way he didn't know it. The whole thing was overshadowed by over 5 million people
00:00:22
attending over 2,000 No Kings protests around the country which looked like kind of festive. That was the contrast.
00:00:28
I think that's what No Kings did correctly from a marketing point of view. You're exactly right. It was Coke
00:00:34
versus Pepsi and Pepsi just clean Coke's clock because supposedly as a high schooler, the best thing you can do to
00:00:40
establish social capital is to throw a rocking party. You can be a near cool kid and elevate yourself to cooldom by
00:00:47
throwing an amazing party when your parents are out of town where they show up and the garage is on fire and the dog
00:00:51
is pregnant, right? Have like a crazy party. And this was I have more money. I'm more powerful. And I threw
00:00:57
just the lamest party. This was a bust of a parade. It just was.
