00:08The first two No Kings protests were held last year and drew millions.
00:13But people here say there are new and stronger reasons for even more to turn out now.
00:18If gas is over $4 a gallon, there's hour plus waits to get through TSA.
00:26We started an illegal war without congressional authorization.
00:30Against Iran, I can't say things are getting better in this country.
00:34These protests are happening at a time where the president is facing some of his lowest approval ratings of his
00:39term.
00:58Will these protests actually translate into political outcomes?
01:02The U.S. is holding midterm elections in November and the Republicans control both chambers with extremely narrow margins.
01:17But will these protests change anything or are they simply a release valve for frustration?
01:21People get encouraged by seeing other people taking action, doing something, speaking their voice.
01:27There are a lot of people who regret voting for Republicans who will go and change their vote for Democrats
01:32in the midterms.
01:33People are energized. I think you are already seeing a lot of people turning out in even state-level elections,
01:38so we're going to keep it up.
01:40Many voters supported Trump because of his promise to tackle the cost of living.
01:44But the real test will come at the midterms and whether this anger can turn into votes.
