is talking about a video captured a moment where Donald Trump appeared extremely visibly agitated aboard marine one seemingly yelling at the pilots after landing at Morristown municipal airport in New Jersey he was returning after a labor day weekend at his bedminster golf club it's not really clear what triggered the outburst but a 35 year old a Natalie Harp who has drawn scrutiny for a closeness to the president and for helping craft some of his more erratic truth social post was on board along with communications advisor Margo Martin it capped off a genuinely strange weekend it started with Trump calling his six month 37.5 billion dollar war with Iran small potatoes then he stepped off a plane with a noticeably darker hair fueling speculation online that he's now wearing a wig he also hid his 43rd day of golfing just this year and over the past 36 hours he went on a truth social spree of AI generated images showing himself riding alongside George Washington tackling Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney with hockey gear arm wrestling hoke Hogan
and more what significant about this was not just the argument inside marine one but what happened after he walked out of marine one he ignored the marine saluting to him walk across the tarmac gave reporters a brief wave boarded air force one for the transfer to joint base andrews and that's it and it comes as his AI posting spree has caused an international incident to the point where now we're learning that Iceland's ambassador to the United States of America or the American ambassador to Iceland has been summoned he was summoned today Billy Long after Trump posted this an uncaptioned image showing Iceland absorbed into the United States under the American flag Iceland has lodged a formal protest against the United States of America we're learning today about a major development canada's retaliatory tariffs have officially taken effect on roughly 20 billion dollars in US goods it took effect at midnight extending the trade war between the two countries but these are done in retaliation to what the United States had done to Canada the rates range anywhere
from 15% to 50% the steepest tier hits include American milk perfume video game consoles golf clubs fishing rods steel aluminum jackets t-shirts cheese carpet appliances like stoves and air conditioning agricultural equipment electronics and more those face 25% tariffs four clips and industrial molds sit at 15% tariffs American seafood was originally on the list but got pulled back after pushback from the lobster industry and economists say manufacturers and states like Michigan and Indiana along with dairy producers and Wisconsin and Vermont could be hit particularly hard the dispute traits traces all the way back to Trump's original tariff threats on Canada and Mexico Canada is responding with its own retaliatory measures and liquor boycotts and some provinces in the fight has now spread well beyond the original tariff list Trump is threatening to raise tariffs on Canadian cars trucks auto parts to 50% starting January 1st 2027 and on Monday last night he essentially said no more selling bombardier in the United States telling the Quebec-based
plainmaker it must build here and stop treating America like a piggy bank the problem with this is that it actually has a manufacturing facility in Kansas and Republican senators were not happy this is from Republican Senator Jerry Moran in Kansas saying the presence of bombardier in Wichita supports a local workforce of more than a thousand employees who contribute their talent and expertise to our nation's defense and aerospace capabilities this afternoon I reached out to the Trump administration to make certain that the president is aware of the significant contributions of bombardier to Kansas and the importance of its presence in Wichita to many Kansas workers at bombardier and then the bombardier supply chain I will continue working to see that bombardier's manufacturing operations on only remaining Kansas but continue to grow and create American jobs Kansas is home to a hardworking skilled workforce and I will continue welcoming leaders and aircraft to defense manufacturing to do business here in the air capital of the world now when we talk about issues for the president one of his former close aides a senior advisor is facing the
possibility of major criminal penalties Corey Lewandowski is now facing the possibility of major criminal penalties after a bombshell Wall Street Journal investigation detailed exactly how he allegedly used his unofficial unofficial per a department of Homeland Security to try to enrich himself Christie Noem installed the Wendowsky at the agency as a special government employee beginning on April 25th 25th all the way through March of 2026 Noem asserted personal control where DHS contracts above a hundred thousand the journal reports Lewandowski was signing off on major contracts before she approved them herself while serving in that defecto contract approval the journal reports Lewandowski approach cattaria officials offering to help for a fee with visa and other matters falling under DHS jurisdiction making a similar pitch to officials in the United Arab Emirates both countries found that offers confusing and stunning since they already established channels with senior administration officials ultimately rejecting them Palantir after they negotiated $2.7 billion agreement with Department of Homeland Security
the contract sat unsigned while Lewandowski reportedly pushed for a private one-on-one meeting with CEO Alex Carp Carp and other Palantir officials got so uncomfortable with the situation that they canceled the meeting and the agreement was ultimately reduced to one billion dollars this is corruption in plain sight and while a lot of people say what are you going to do about it what can you do to stop it number one thing Americans can do is to vote is to get to the polls and that's why no Kings Day 3.0 the next no Kings Day on October 17th has been launched today I spoke with Ezra Levin who says that this is not just a protest it's actually more of a get out to vote effort as always make sure to subscribe support this work my conversation with Ezra Ezra Levin welcome back super excited to have you today to talk about a big announcement indivisible has uh let us know Aaron this is very exciting no Kings on October 17th this is the fourth no Kings no Kings we are early voting this is categorically different than the first three no Kings like I'm crazy proud of who no Kings 1
2 and 3 we had five million people seven million people more than eight million people out the goal of those no Kings was to send a message during a time of rising authoritarianism that we're not scared that we're going to stand up for our constitutional rights we're going to exercise those rights and know what authoritarian is going to consolidate power under our watch we sent that message Aaron that's not what October 17th no Kings is about we're not just sending a message we're taking back power for the people and the way you do that in a democratic republic is by exercising your right to vote and by organizing to prevent any kind of elections sabotage that comes our way so those are the two goals you will judge this no Kings by it's success by did we have the largest early vote in the history of the Republic and did we recruit a volunteer force that can push back against that election sabotage that's coming our way so what's the plan for no Kings for are you guys going to have folks getting people to the polls and early voting in states with early voting what's the goal that's right look like the previous no Kings this is going to be boisterous this is going to be joyful this is going to be enormous this is going to be historic there will be thousands of events everywhere but as you just kind of alluded to there isn't early vote in every single
say I would love if there was early vote in every single state on October 17th that's the kind of democracy we need to reform our democracy into that's not the reality which means that in dear born Michigan you're going to see people with visibility brigades people registering folks to vote people preparing to do geo tv because voting won't have early started already we've already got an event in frisco texas early voting won't be a happening in texas yet but we'll have indivisible members and other volunteers dressing up as superheroes to say voting is our super power let's get out and go vote you got Winston saline or the airline they're spending the morning doing voter average because early voting is up and running in north Carolina on October 17th so it's going to be different depending on where you are because this is locally let block parties and cookouts and buses to the polls and faith actions other creative actions like all the no kings this is going to be driven by people on the ground to say look I don't know what this regime is going to try to do but I know the only solution is if we stand up in organized so that's what you're going to see a lot of variety a lot of joy a lot of power is the plan to have a flagship rally kind
of like you guys have had the past three times we will have a couple flagship rallies I don't want to I don't want to put out exactly where they're going to be and these are also going to be locally but I also wanted to sway people from thinking oh I've got to go to the big city center I've got to go to to where the big place is this is going to be centered around voting and voting happens locally voting habits at the precinct level so I would encourage folks go to no kings dot org look and see is there no kings event near me if there's not pull a few friends together get a cookout get a visibility per grade get a geo tv canvas launch you can do this this is not being organized by just the professional political class this is being organized by neighbors and you're a neighbor I want to get your thoughts on something that I've heard from folks on the ground in protest not just at no kings but generally is that they are scared to go out under this administration to make their voice heard because they see dissent being stifled in real time what do you say to someone who says Ezra I want to be there I really want to do it but I'm terrified look I would say that's understandable we're liby
under an authoritarian government that is fearful of organized non violent people led action it is fearful of the actual democratic process moving forward but the way they win the way they win is by you being too scared to exercise your rights and the way we win is by demonstrating courage I would I would look to inspiration around the world earlier this year under Victor Orobot an authoritarian who had been in power for 16 years an authoritarian who is the inspiration for Trump 2.0 there were articles written about the organization of America he went down this year because of overwhelming non violent democratically driven people protest and turnout that's how he went down we can do the same thing here in America we just got to find the courage and the best way to find that courage is not alone find it in community with your fellow organizers with your fellow community members that's how we build our strength and that's how we exercise our power and that's sure if you saw there's a recent 404 media report out that says that uh flock cameras helped
train law enforcement officers how to go after no kings protesters nationwide specifically in no kings one two and three what's your reaction to hearing that this is an authoritarian government they are fearful of non violent protests that's why they called out the national guard in Texas and Virginia this is why they have been focusing on these non violent protesters again and again and again here's what I'll say it doesn't work we're not slowing down we were bigger in no kings two than we were no kings one we were bigger in no kings three than we were no kings two and we're going to be bigger in October than we've ever been before exercising our rights to vote we organize out in the open air and this has all public you can come to our trainings you found us we're out there organizing with our community members and building a big force that they can ignore and they can't resist so folks want to host their own no kings event or uh want to know where to go to find where their local no kings event is where did they go go to no kings dot org you can search on the map if there isn't one nearby you i want to emphasize this isn't just a professional political class thing you don't have to be an activist you don't have to be an organizer to this
you just have to be a community member if you know how to throw a party if you know how to put to either a cookout you can be part of organizing your local no kings on october 17th and it's going to require thousands of us to raise our hand to do that in order for this to be successful as r 11 thanks so much for the time and good luck appreciate you Aaron
