Rock star Bruce Springsteen used his May 27 performance at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. to deliver a searing six-minute critique of Donald Trump — and announced plans to return to Donald Trump's backyard in October for a major "Power to the People" music festival designed as an explicit show of resistance ahead of Election Day.The legendary rock star told the cheering crowd to direct their message toward the White House before leading an "ICE Out Now!" chant, signaling his opposition to the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies, according to NJArts.Performing alongside The E Street Band, Springsteen revealed plans for what he called "another night of music and resistance" on October 3 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland."In the future, we want to keep raising our voices for hope and justice, together," Springsteen announced. "[Rage Against The Machine's] Tom Morello and I will be back again here in D.C. on Oct. 3 for another night of music and resistance. The first-ever Power to the People Festival will be announced to the world, tomorrow. But you're hearing about it first, here, tonight!"The festival will feature an all-star lineup including Morello (who is overseeing the event), Dave Matthews, The Foo Fighters, and The Dropkick Murphys. Springsteen said he will make guest appearances and perform several songs with Morello and his band."We encourage you to come out and make a goddamn ruckus along with us," Springsteen told the crowd.According to the Power to the People Festival website, the one-day event is billed as "a celebration of peace, love, justice, music and community action" designed to demonstrate "the power everyday human beings have when they come together — through music, art, community and action — to shape our country and our planet on, and beyond, Election Day."The festival description emphasizes its non-partisan positioning while making clear its focus on mobilizing citizens around issues of justice and community action heading into the critical November elections.Springsteen's announcement comes on the heels of some acts who were supposed to appear at the Trump-friendly Great American State Fair announcing they are pulling out.Bruce Springsteen ends a six-minute, anti-Trump speech by yelling: “Let them hear you in the f——— White House!” pic.twitter.com/DkHmbx29lV— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) May 28, 2026

Hollywood is ramping up its criticism of Spencer Pratt, and BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler believes it’s a sign that his Los Angeles mayoral campaign is gaining real traction.“The Democrats are so scared of Spencer Pratt’s strategy. And you combine that with the most recent fundraising numbers — in the last month, Spencer Pratt has raised 10 times as much money as Karen Bass,” Wheeler explains.Pratt has raised $2.72 million in the last month, while Mayor Bass (D) raised $283,000.“The tide has turned towards Spencer Pratt. That amount of money combined with this strategy, this brilliant political strategy that Spencer Pratt is now engaging in — giving Democrats in L.A. this off-ramp to vote for him,” Wheeler says.And the Democrats are so scared that they have “unleashed their big guns,” which is Hollywood.“Hollywood is the Democrats' secret weapon,” she explains, recalling that “very cringey video that celebrities put together during COVID.”“Celebrities are what the Democrats think are their most effective influential tool. You saw this with the Kamala Harris campaign,” she adds, before playing a clip of reality star Lisa Rinna telling a reporter she doesn’t want a “reality star” to be mayor.“We’ve already done that. We’re not going to do that again,” Rinna said.“Listen, I’m a reality person,” she continued. “You wouldn’t want me as mayor. … I just think we did that. Let’s have somebody that’s already been mayor. The mayor of San Jose or whoever. I don’t even know.”“This is what the Democrats think their big guns are,” Wheeler comments. “You know, their move of desperation.”Drew Carey also threw out an opinion on Pratt, writing in a post on social media: “Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their ass. I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. F**k this guy already.”Pratt responded in his own post on X: “Isn't it weird how the two comedians histrionically lashing out against me are both in the 'Epstein files'? What are the odds?”He attached a screenshot of an email mentioning Carey from the files.“Let me tell you what is happening here. The Democrats are so scared. They’re so desperate because they can’t run on any policy. They can’t run on Karen Bass’ record. They can’t run on Nithya Raman’s ideology,” Wheeler says."So what they do instead, as their sort of final move — this is one week before the election … they try to use famous people to invoke groupthink among voters,” she adds.Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Liz’s based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
