ARI HAIT HAS BEEN LOOKING AT  THOSE PROTESTS TONIGHT AND WHAT  THEY'RE CALLING MAYDAY STRONG.  ARI, YOU MAY REMEMBER ABOUT A  MONTH AGO, THERE WERE THOSE  HANDS OFF RALLIES AROUND THE  COUNTRY.  WELL, THESE TODAY WERE VERY  SIMILAR, BUT GIVEN TODAY'S DATE,  THEY WERE CALLED THE MAY DAY  PROTEST.  AND THEY SAY THEIR GOAL IS TO  UNITE AND FIGHT BACK.  OH HO HO HO.  DONALD TRUMP HAS GOT TO GO.  PROTESTERS IN STUART.  PROTESTERS IN WEST PALM BEACH.  THESE ARE JUST TWO OF THE DOZENS  OF RALLIES ACROSS FLORIDA  THURSDAY.  PEOPLE SCREAMING THEIR  OPPOSITION TO PRESIDENT DONALD  TRUMP AND HIS POLICIES.  WE'RE OUT HERE TODAY TO PROTEST.  I'M HERE BECAUSE I LOVE MY  COUNTRY AND I DON'T LIKE WHAT'S  HAPPENING TO MY COUNTRY TO FIGHT  FOR OUR DEMOCRACY.  THERE WERE SIMILAR RALLIES  NATIONWIDE, ALL PART OF AN  ORGANIZED EFFORT CALLED THE MAY  DAY PROTESTS.  AT LEAST SHOW MY SUPPORT AND LET  PEOPLE KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE  NEED CHANGE AND WE NEED IT NOW.  A LEADER IS ONE WHO WE LOOK UP  TO.  THAT'S NOT HAPPENING NOW.  OUR LEADERSHIP IS GONE.  THE PROTESTERS WAVED SIGNS  CALLING TO STOP TRUMP.  HANDS OFF THINGS LIKE SOCIAL  SECURITY AND MEDICAID AND  ENCOURAGING PASSING DRIVERS TO  SHOW THEIR SUPPORT BY HONKING.  AND MANY OBLIGED.  THE PEOPLE AT THESE RALLIES SAY  THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR THINGS LIKE  REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, THE RIGHTS  OF IMMIGRANTS AND THE LGBTQ  COMMUNITY, JUST TO NAME A FEW.  THEY OBJECT TO ELON MUSK AND THE  CUTS MADE BY HIS DEPARTMENT OF  GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY.  CUTTING IS ONE THING.  USING A CHAINSAW TO DIMINISH  PROGRAMING AND THE WHOLE PARTS  OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS  SOMETHING ELSE.  I DO THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE A  DIFFERENCE.  I THINK WHEN PEOPLE RISE UP,  BECAUSE THE POWER IS THE PEOPLE,  AND THAT'S WHAT AMERICA IS ALL  ABOUT.  AND IT WASN'T JUST TODAY.  THERE ARE SIMILAR RALLIES  SCHEDULED THROUGHOUT THE  WEEKEND.  BY SUNDAY NIGHT, THERERE WILL BE  AN ESTIMATED 54 RALLIES IN  FLORIDA"}]
