2:20I'm an author and I'm an activist, and GoFundMe is my go -to platform for
2:26fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chapbook or a
2:34collection of poetry and essays and short stories.
2:38So we started a GoFundMe, and our goal was $7 ,000.
2:42What I've learned that is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection
2:47of people offering anything from like $4 to $400.
2:52And each time you get a ping that someone donated, even if it is just
2:56$4, it's so exciting. So if you have a goal and you get there, you
3:00can keep making it bigger and bigger and bigger.
3:02We did go past our goal.
3:04It was amazing. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform, trusted by over 200
3:09million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe .com.
3:13That's GoFundMe .com. GoFundMe .com.
3:17It's here, folks. Today's the big day, and Donald Trump is in terror as mass
3:23protests, peaceful protests, break out across the entire country.
3:28Folks, No Kings Day is here.
3:31This is the third major No Kings protest.
3:34We had a big No Kings protest back in June of 2025, an even bigger
3:40one in October of 2025.
3:43And now today, March 28th, a massive No Kings protest.
3:48Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are trying to change the tactics this time around, whereas
3:55before they were attacking the No Kings, they were running military drills to try to
4:01intimidate we, the people. They were trying to counter -program it with their own military
4:07parades that were utterly deranged.
4:10Remember all of that? But we, the people, persevered.
4:13They never scared us. They didn't break us.
4:16We stood united, shoulder to shoulder, and we, the people, showed up.
4:22These No Kings protests have gotten bigger and bigger today.
4:26There will be more than 3 ,100 No Kings demonstrations, basically as many events as
4:34there are counties in the United States.
4:37We expect there to be these No Kings in all 50 states and basically in
4:42every single county, in every single city, including an Alaskan city, inside the Arctic Circle,
4:49fueled by suburban groundswells of support.
4:53And it's an honor here at the Midas Touch Network to always have been the
4:58main distribution hub of the No Kings protests, even going back before they were calling
5:03it No Kings and they were calling it Hands Off, or even when just the
5:08local grassroots groups began protesting shortly after the election in 2024, the Midas Touch Network
5:16was always there on the front lines covering the protests.
5:20And wherever the protests were, we had cameras there, whether it was the protest against
5:25ICE in Minnesota or in Chicago or in Charlotte, my hometown of Los Angeles, Portland,
5:31you name it. We were there.
5:34We're going to be there today as well.
5:35I'm going to want you to look at our live feed on our YouTube channel
5:40today, where we will be covering all of the No Kings events live.
5:44There'll be musical performances as well.
5:47It's going to be joyous.
5:49It's going to be peaceful.
5:50And we're going to send a powerful message that we, the people, want Donald Trump
5:55and this despicable regime out.
5:58We, the people, stand for democracy.
6:00We, the people, stand for love and humanity and building a more prosperous, better future
6:07for all Americans and not the right -wing oligarchs and the Trump regime Epstein class.
6:14Nah, screw them. We want to help the people have access to health care, universal
6:20health care for all, universal education for all.
6:23We want to make sure people can have jobs with dignity.
6:26We support unions here at the Midas Dutch Network.
6:30We want to make sure that people can afford rent and can afford homes and
6:34can live lives with dignity.
6:36We want to uplift marginalized communities.
6:39We support equality. We don't bully.
6:41We support each other. And that's, you know, what, that's beyond the politics.
6:46That's the main thing I think that we focus on here on the Midas Dutch
6:49Network. We support humanity and humanity abroad as well.
6:54Humanity internationally as well. And that's why we've also expanded Midas Touch to cover Midas
7:00Touch International. We have Midas Canada.
7:03Shout out to all the Midas Maple out there.
7:05And as you know, we're going to be expanding across the globe.
7:09We're going to be in Europe.
7:10We're going to be in Asia.
7:11We're going to be in Central South America, Mexico.
7:13We're going to be in Africa, Australia, the Midas mates.
7:16What up? I see you.
7:17But today's a very big day.
7:19As always, we're going to be covering it.
7:21I mean, just you remember, I mean, we've been showing some of the B -roll
7:23here at the beginning. But the massive No Kings protests back in October in New
7:28York, in Boston, in Washington, D .C.
7:32I mean, you saw that time lapse of the big protest in Chicago.
7:36It's going to be bigger.
7:37I expect the turnout today to be in the range of 15 to 20 million
7:44protesters peacefully protesting across the country right now.
7:49And I think we're going to be recruiting some new protesters as well.
7:53Even some people who may have supported Trump before, they realize that Donald Trump is
7:58a total con artist, a total fraud, covering up for the Epstein class, covering up
8:05child sex trafficking, pedo rings.
8:08Donald Trump covering up his own sick, dark past.
8:12Donald Trump himself being a disgusting sexual predator.
8:16Donald Trump himself being a disgusting felon, surrounding himself with disgusting human beings like Howard
8:24Lutnick and others who partied on Epstein Island and then said, Oh, it's OK, I
8:28just brought my kids. What a big deal.
8:30The cover up squad like Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, who moved Ghislaine Maxwell to
8:36club fed facilities for helping Trump try to cover up his dark past.
8:42Absolutely despicable. Then rushing into war with Netanyahu against Iran, blowing up elementary schools.
8:50They're killing 165 little girls and attacking desalination and electrical grids and committing war crimes
8:59over there and in Beirut and in Lebanon and in Gaza.
9:03We're calling it all out here on the Midas Touch Network, and we're just standing
9:07with basic humanity. And while the Trump regime is involved in all of these wars,
9:12while they say, Oh, we're the peace people.
9:14The American people are suffering.
9:16Inflation is surging right now, as I noted, people can't afford homes here.
9:22Ice and Border Patrol, Gestapo, torturing, terrorizing, killing our people, our brothers, our sisters, our
9:27fellow human beings on the street.
9:31We need to stand up for humanity.
9:33We need to stand against kings.
9:34We see the impact and the consequence of authoritarian rule right now.
9:40And it's grim times for America, if you just look at it statistically, about how
9:46bad things are in our country.
9:48It's as bad, as bad, as bad can be.
9:51But I'll tell you, through all of this, there's hope.
9:53And there's hope because of days like today with the peaceful No Kings protests, where
9:58we get to share our joy.
10:00And we get to say, you know what, despite all this hate, despite this hell,
10:05despite all of the horrors that they're putting us all through, we're going to persevere.
10:11And there is a future without these creepy fascist pedo protectors.
10:17We will get through this together.
10:18And it's been such an honor to see the Midas Touch growth, thanks to all
10:23of you, over the past year, past 15 months.
10:26We've been around for a long time now, six years the Midas Touch Network has
10:30been around, fighting shoulder to shoulder with you.
10:33But, of course, we've experienced even more rapid growth.
10:36And right now, basically being one of the largest news entities, if not the largest,
10:41out there. But supporting and always fighting for pro -democracy values.
10:45That's what we do here, fighting for empathy and love and equality and bringing people
10:51together. That's the key thing.
10:53I want to show you some data points right now.
10:56MAGA is dying, right? This MAGA movement is done.
10:59I'll just show you an example, this very bizarre and low -energy CPAC, Conservative Political
11:07Action Committee event that just wrapped up in Texas.
11:11This CPAC attendee, describing how, you know, lots of people just, even there, hate Trump
11:16right now, I think tells the story.
11:19Here, play this clip. I think they would get destroyed in the midterms.
11:22I just, I get the vibe.
11:24A lot of people I knew who just wrote for Trump because they thought it
11:26was cool in, like, high school are just now just being like, I can't stand
11:31the guy. Then you saw the fascist tactics of people like Brendan Carr, the FCC
11:36commissioner, by the way, who attacked the Midas Touch Network this past week for our
11:41hiring of Scott McFarlane, veteran reporter.
11:44He left CBS. Such an honor to have Scott here at the Midas Touch Network.
11:49His YouTube channel is doing incredible.
11:51But Brendan Carr and Stephen Chung, Trump's communications director, Caroline Levitt, they were all mocking
11:57the Midas Touch Network this week and attacking us.
12:00But we saw record growth this week, seven weeks in a row, number one on
12:04the podcast charts, number one on the YouTube charts, yet again, beating Rogan and Candace
12:09Owens and Tucker Carlson. All of that, thanks to you, beating CBS and Fox and
12:13all of that, thanks to you.
12:15I think there was a person who said, the revolution won't be televised.
12:20It'll be on the Midas Touch Network.
12:22It's a Vanity Fair article.
12:24Anyway, let's show you what Brendan Carr had to say.
12:27Play this clip. And President Trump is winning.
12:30Look at the results so far.
12:31PBS defunded. NPR defunded. Joy Reid gone from MSNBC.
12:38Sleepy Eye Chuck Todd gone.
12:40Jim Acosta gone. John Dickerson gone.
12:43Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership.
12:47And soon enough, CNN is going to have new ownership as well.
12:49So this story is absolutely insane.
12:52Trump is taking a billion dollars in taxpayer money and handing it to a French
12:56energy giant to cancel offshore wind farms and instead boost oil and gas production here
13:03in the United States. Give me a minute to update you on this because it's
13:06flying under the radar and we need to keep climate issues front and center.
13:09Here's what's happening. The Trump administration is paying nearly one billion dollars to total energies
13:14to walk away from two major offshore wind projects, one off New York and one
13:19off North Carolina. These projects would have powered over one million homes with clean energy.
13:24Now they're gone. And what do we get in return?
13:26The company takes that same money and invested into fossil fuels, more oil drilling in
13:30the Gulf, more natural gas exports out of Texas, more gas powered plants.
13:34So let's be clear about what's happening.
13:36Taxpayer dollars are being used to kill clean energy projects and double down on fossil
13:41fuels, the very thing driving climate change.
13:44Even state leaders right now are calling this outrageous, saying that we're literally paying a
13:49company not to build renewable energy.
13:51And that's what we're going to do.
13:51This, of course, comes at a time when global instability is already driving up oil
13:55prices, when experts say investing in renewables actually makes us more secure, not less.
14:00So yeah, this is a really, really big deal.
14:03I want to hear from you.
14:04Drop a comment right now.
14:06What do you think about using taxpayer money this way?
14:08Should we be investing in clean energy instead of shutting it down?
14:11Let's get this conversation going.
14:13It's so important that you stay loud.
14:15I look forward to reading your comments.
14:17Ben, back to you. Now, a reminder to what I thought was one of the
14:21most powerful speeches of the last No Kings back in October was my friend, Senator
14:27Bernie Sanders. Remember what he said.
14:29Let's play this clip. No, President Trump.
14:33We don't want you or any other king to rule us.
14:42Thank you very much. But we will maintain our democratic form of society.
14:52We will not move toward authoritarianism in America.
14:59We, the people, will rule.
15:02This moment is not just about one man's greed, one man's corruption, or one man's
15:11contempt for the Constitution. This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth
15:19who, in their insatiable greed, have hijacked our economy and our political system in order
15:28to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout this country.
15:35I am talking about Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and the other multi -billionaires.
15:49The very same billionaires who funded his campaign, who have bestowed gifts upon him, and
15:57who have seen huge increases in their wealth and power since Trump took office.
16:06We rejected the divine right of kings in the 1770s.
16:13We will not accept the divine right of oligarchs today.
16:23Now, you also had J .D.
16:26Vance giving interviews in the past 24 hours with right -wing propagandist Benny Johnson, J
16:32.D. Vance saying he believes that UFOs exist, but the UFOs are demons and they're
16:39not aliens. So, that's the message from the Trump White House.
16:43Aliens are actually demons. That's what they want us to know.
16:47And they think that's important to share with us while Americans can't afford groceries and
16:51while Trump started an unlawful war in Iran and while they're covering up the Epstein
16:56files and while Americans can't afford homes and anything.
17:00Demons, aliens, these people are just a bunch of dorks and they're weirdos.
17:04Here, play this clip. We saw aliens .gov.
17:08I don't think they're aliens.
17:09I think they're demons anyway, but that's a longer discussion.
17:12And by the way, Joe Rogan, whose podcast we're beating on every platform right now,
17:17he even said the following about MAGA.
17:20He's like, MAGA, they're all dorks.
17:21They're all dorks. He said, here, play this clip.
17:23The phrase, make America great again, I don't care.
17:26But if that phrase sucks, here's the thing.
17:29Like, first of all, America is great.
17:32Make America greater, I'm down.
17:34But make America great again.
17:36And then it becomes a movement of a bunch of fucking dorks because a lot
17:39of them are dorks. A lot of these really weird, fucking uninteresting, unintelligent people that
17:46have got something they cling to.
17:48And there's a lot of people that are just real, genuine patriots.
17:51And they're all lumped into this one group.
17:53And you've got to accept the dorks, too.
17:54Fuck that. And here was J .D.
17:57Vance responding to being called a dork by Joe Rogan.
18:02Here, play this clip. Joe says MAGA's full of dorks.
18:05What do you think? Do you consider yourself a dork?
18:08He says MAGA's dorks. I think we have many, many fewer dorks than the far
18:13left. But everybody's got some dorks.
18:15I just want to share with you just briefly some of our on -the -ground
18:19reporting right here on Capitol Hill.
18:21When we asked Congressmember McGovern through Pablo Manriquez, who runs Midas Touch Washington, D .C.
18:27Bureau, what do you make of what's going on with Trump and the GOP trying
18:33to not fund the TSA and then playing all of these games and saying, oh,
18:39you know, now we can fund the TSA.
18:41And, you know, but what do you make of it, McGovern, here?
18:44Play this clip. Does the secretary of DHS have the discretion to use this major
18:49ICE money slush fund to pay TSA and FEMA and some of these other agencies?
18:54I have no idea. But, I mean, money for TSA goes to TSA.
19:00You know, money appropriate for other agencies go to other agencies.
19:03Look, here's the deal. We just need to fund all the agencies that are following
19:07the law. I mean, that's simple.
19:09That's what we've been asking for.
19:11TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA. I mean, let's just fund them.
19:14This is ridiculous. And the Senate, you know, moved last night to do that.
19:18You know, we got a move to do that today.
19:20Let's get this behind us, you know, and get on to other things.
19:23Even without the reforms to ICE?
19:25Well, I mean, look, there's no new funding for ICE.
19:28And there's no new funding for CBP.
19:32You know, I mean, I'm somebody who believes we should abolish ICE.
19:35I don't think it should exist anymore.
19:37And the reforms that I want, quite frankly, you know, are not what the Republicans
19:44are talking about. But the deal is, is they appropriated, you know, more money for
19:49ICE than most countries spend on their militaries a year in this big, ugly bill.
19:54So, I mean, the idea, I mean, ICE has money.
19:59It's these other agencies that don't.
20:00And I'm not going to vote to give ICE more money.
20:03I mean, they kill people.
20:04I'm sorry. That's, I can't go there.
20:07And should there be a special prosecutor at this point for the Epstein files?
20:10Yes, I believe there should be.
20:11Okay. Thank you, Congressman. Here's what Congresswoman Ballin told us.
20:15Let's play it. Congresswoman, last night, Donald Trump basically funded TSA with an executive order.
20:20And then the Senate passed another bill funding TSA.
20:23Was it really even necessary?
20:25Like, I don't know. So, look.
20:27Here's what I think happened.
20:28Okay. I think Republicans have realized they've given up all of their power to the
20:33president. Right. And I think that on some level they realized, wait a minute.
20:36This dude was holding up a deal for weeks.
20:41TSA people were not getting paid.
20:43And so they're like, oh, now he's going to swoop in to a problem that
20:46he created. Somehow saved the day.
20:48And I think they realized, wait, we've got to get our shit together.
20:51Got it. Thank you, Congressman.
20:52You're welcome. Is it time to appoint a special prosecutor for the Epstein files?
20:55100%. Okay. Yeah. Got it.
20:57Thank you, Congressman. Appreciate it.
20:58Happy time. Here's what Congressmember Gomez told us about ICE.
21:03Let's play this clip right here.
21:05So, the Senate voted last night to fund most of DHS.
21:08A lot of the reforms that Democrats have been fighting for didn't go through for
21:12ICE and CBP. What's your reaction to the situation?
21:14What do you think we should go moving forward?
21:16I'm a no on the bill until I get a chance to really look at
21:21it. But this doesn't really put any constraints on ICE and CBP agents have been
21:29operating outside the bounds of the law.
21:31Now, my district is very concerned about what kind of guardrails are going to be
21:37put in place. And that's because we were the first district, the first city to
21:42see these ICE raids. I have a constituent who died in ICE detention custody.
21:50I have a constituent who was eight months pregnant and deported.
21:55And we couldn't even find her in the system until we didn't know what happened
22:00to her until she got in touch with her husband.
22:04So, for us, it's not enough.
22:07I know maybe it's for some of my colleagues, but for me, it's not enough.
22:12How important is it that ICE agents take off their masks and identify them and
22:15folks who are doing their job?
22:16Not only take off the mask, it's also wear body cameras.
22:22You can't kick a door in unless you have a judicial warrant.
22:25Don't deport U .S. citizens.
22:27Those are some basic things that we ask for.
22:30And I think they're worth holding out for.
22:33And then I'll leave you with this statement from Donald Trump where he goes, perhaps
22:38we are now respected like never before.
22:40We are so hot, as hot as can be.
22:44And this guy is so deranged.
22:45Here, play this clip. Also, highly respected again.
22:50Perhaps we are now respected like never, ever before.
22:54I don't think we have ever been as respected now.
23:03You know, if you think about it, a year and a half ago, our country
23:06was viewed as a joke.
23:07We were a joke. All over the world, they were laughing at us, how stupid
23:11we were, how weak, how pathetic.
23:12Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
23:15We're the hottest country in the world.
23:17Folks, when I see Donald Trump make statements like that, when I see his regime
23:23of sycophants, support, whatever the hell that is, it gives me fuel.
23:27And it makes me say, we're in this together.
23:30We're going to stand strong together.

24:41What are you going to wear?
24:41Men's Warehouse. They've got today's looks for any occasion.
24:44And I need to look like a celebrity.
24:46Don't want to stick out.
24:47Exactly. They've got Chill Flex by Kenneth Cole, Joseph Abood, and a tailor at every
24:51store for the perfect fit.
24:52Congrats. You can stop calling now.
24:54Not a chance. Hit any look for every occasion at Men's Warehouse.
24:57Love the way you look.
24:59LifeLock, how can I help?
25:00The IRS said I filed my return.
25:02But I haven't. One in four taxpaying Americans has paid the price of identity fraud.
25:07What do I do? My refund, though.
25:09I'm freaking out. Don't worry.
25:10I can fix this. LifeLock fixes identity theft guaranteed and gets your money back with
25:14up to $3 million in coverage.
25:16I'm so relieved. No problem.
25:18I'll be with you every step of the way.
25:20One in four was a fraud -paying American.
25:22Not anymore. Save up to 40 % your first year.
