My name is Mira Pataston. I'm an author and I'm an activist and GoFundMe is my GoTo platform for fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chatbook or a collection of poetry and essays and short stories. So we started to GoFundMe and our goal was 7,000. What I've learned is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection of people offering anything from like $4 to $400. And each time you get a ping that someone donated, even if it is just $4, it's so exciting.

So if you have a goal and you get there, you can keep making it bigger and bigger and bigger. We did go past our goal. It was amazing. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe.com. GoFundMe.com. GoFundMe.com. It's here folks. Today's the big day. A Donald Trump is in terror as mass protest, peaceful protest, breakout across the entire country. Folks, no Kings Day is here. This is the third major No Kings protest. We had a big No Kings protest back in June of 2025 and even bigger one in October of 2025. And now today, March 28th, a massive No Kings protest. Donald Trump and mega Republicans are trying to change the tactics this time around. Whereas before they were attacking the No Kings, they were running military drills to

try to intimidate we, the people. They were trying to counter program it with their own military parades that were utterly deranged. Remember all of that. So we the people persevered. They never scared us. They didn't break us. We stood united, shoulder to shoulder. And we the people showed up. These No Kings protests have gotten bigger and bigger today. There will be more than 3,100 No Kings demonstrations basically as many events as there are counties in the United States. We expect there to be these No Kings in all 50 states and basically in every single county and every single city, including an Alaskan city inside the Arctic Circle fueled by suburban ground swells of support. And it's an honor here at the Midas Touch Network to always have been the main distribution hub of the No Kings protest.

Even going back before they were calling it No Kings and they were calling it hands off or even when just the local grassroots groups began protesting shortly after the election in 2024, the Midas Touch Network was always there on the front lines covering the protests. And wherever the protests were, we had cameras there whether it was the protest against Dyson Minnesota or Chicago or Charlotte, my hometown of Los Angeles, Portland. You name it. We were there. We're going to be there today as well. I'm going to want you to look at our live feed on our YouTube channel today where we will be covering all of the No Kings events live. They'll be musical performances as well. It's going to be joyous. It's going to be peaceful and we're going to send a powerful message that we the people want Donald Trump and this despicable regime out. We the people stand for democracy. We the people stand for love and humanity and building a more prosperous, better future

for all Americans and not the right wing oligarchs and the Trump regime, Epstein class, screw them. We want to help the people have access to healthcare, universal healthcare for all, universal education for all. We want to make sure people can have jobs with dignity. We support unions here at the Midas Dutch Network. We want to make sure that people can afford rent and can afford homes and can live lives with dignity. We want to uplift marginalized communities. We support equality. We don't bully. We support each other and that's beyond the politics. That's the main thing I think that we focus on here on the Midas Dutch Network. Humanity and humanity abroad as well, humanity internationally as well and that's why we've also expanded Midas Touch to cover Midas Touch International. We have Midas Canada, shout out to all the Midas maple out there and as you know, we're going to be expanding across the globe.

We're going to be in Europe. We're going to be in Asia. We're going to be in Central South America, Mexico. We're going to be in Africa, Australia, the Midas mates. What up? I see you. Very big day as always. We're going to be covering it. I mean, just you remember, I mean, we've been showing some of the b-roll here at the beginning, but the massive no-kings protests back in October in New York, in Boston, in Washington, DC. I mean, you saw that time lapse of the big protest and Chicago, it's going to be bigger. I expect the turnout today to be in the range of 15 to 20 million protesters peacefully protesting across the country right now. And I think we're going to be recruiting some new protesters as well, even some people who may have supported Trump before they realize that Donald Trump is a total con artist, a total fraud covering up for the Epstein class, covering up child sex trafficking, pedo rings, Donald Trump covering up his own sick, dark past, Donald Trump himself being

a disgusting sexual predator, Donald Trump himself being a disgusting felon surrounding himself with disgusting human beings like Howard Lutnik and others who partied on Epstein Island and then said, it's okay, I just brought my kids what a big deal. The cover-up squad like Pam Bondy and Pod Blanch, who moved Guilain Maxwell to club fed facilities for helping Trump try to cover up his dark past, absolutely despicable, then rushing into war with Netanyahu against Iran, blowing up elementary schools there, killing 165 little girls and attacking desalination and electrical grids and committing war crimes over there and in Beirut and in Lebanon and in Gaza, we're calling it all out here on the Midas touch network and we're just standing with basic humanity. And while the Trump regime is involved in all of these wars, while they say, oh, we're the peace people, the American people are suffering, inflation is surging right now as

a noted people can't afford, homes here, ice and border patrol, Gestapo, torturing, terrorizing, killing our people, our brothers, our sisters, our fellow human beings on the street. We need a stand up for humanity, we need a stand against kings, we see the impact and the consequence of authoritarian rule right now. And it's grim times for America, if you just look at it statistically about how bad things are in our country, that's bad as bad as bad as bad can be, but I'll tell you through all of this, there's hope and there's hope because of days like today with the peaceful no kings protest where we get to share our joy and we get to say, you know what, despite all this hate, despite this hell, despite all of the horrors that they're putting us all through, we're going to persevere and there's a future without these creepy, fascist, petto protectors, we will get through this together and it's been such an honor to see the

Midas Touch growth thanks to all of you over the past year, past 15 months, we've been around for a long time now, six years, the Midas Touch Network has been around fighting shoulder to shoulder with you, but of course we've experienced even more rapid growth and right now, basically being one of the largest news entities, if not the largest out there, but supporting and always fighting for pro democracy values, that's what we do here, fighting for empathy and love and equality and bringing people together, that's the key thing. I want to show you some data points right now, MAGA is dying, right, this MAGA movement is done. I'll just show you an example, this very bizarre and low energy CPAC conservative political action committee event that just wrapped up in Texas, this CPAC attendee describing how lots of people just, even their hate Trump right now, I think tells the story here play this clip. I think they get destroyed in the Midas, I just, I get the vibe, a lot of people I know

who just vote for Trump because it was cool in like high school or just now just being like, I can't stand the guy. Then you saw the fascist tactics of people like Brendan Carr, the FCC commissioner, by the way, who attacked the Midas Touch Network this past week for our hiring of Scott McFarlane, veteran reporter, he left CBS such an honor to have Scott here at the Midas Touch Network, his YouTube channel is doing incredible, but Brendan Carr and Stephen Chung, Trump's communications director, Caroline Levitt, they were all mocking the Midas Touch Network this week and attacking us, but we saw record growth this week, seven weeks in a row, number one on the podcast charts, number one on the YouTube charts yet again, beating Rogan and Candace Owens at Tucker Carlson, all of that thanks to you beating CBS and Fox and all of that thanks to you. I think there was person who said, the revolution won't be televised, it'll be on the Midas Touch Network, it's a vanity fair article anyway, let's show you what Brendan Carr had

to say, play this clip. And President Trump is winning, look at the results so far, PBS defunded, NPR defunded, joy rate gone from MSNBC, Sleepy Eye Chuk Todd, gone Jim Acosta, gone John Dickerson, gone Colbert is leaving, CBS is under new ownership and soon enough CNN has got new ownership as well. So this story is absolutely insane, Trump is taking a billion dollars in taxpayer money and handing it to a French energy giant to cancel offshore wind farms and instead boost oil and gas production here in the United States. So give me a minute to update you on this because it's flying under the radar and we need to keep climate issues front and center, here's what's happening, the Trump administration is paying nearly one billion dollars to total energies to walk away from two major offshore wind projects. One off New York and one off North Carolina, these projects would have powered over 1 million homes with clean energy, now they're gone. And what do we get in return? The company takes that same money and invest it into fossil fuels, more oil drilling in

the Gulf, more natural gas exports out of Texas, more gas powered plants. So let's be clear about what's happening, taxpayer dollars are being used to kill clean energy projects and double down on fossil fuels, the very thing driving climate change. And state leaders right now are calling this outrageous, saying that we're literally paying a company not to build renewable energy. And this of course comes at a time when global instability is already driving up oil prices. When experts say investing in renewables actually makes us more secure, not less. So yeah, this is a really, really big deal. I want to hear from you, drop a comment right now, what do you think about using taxpayer money this way? Should we be investing in clean energy instead of shutting it down? Let's get this conversation going, it's so important that you stay loud. I look forward to reading your comments, then back to you. Now we're a reminder to what I thought was one of the most powerful speeches of the last no kings back in October was my friend, Senator Bernie Sanders. Remember what he said? Let's play this clip.

No president Trump, we don't want you or any other king to rule us. Thank you very much, but we will maintain our democratic form of society. We will not move toward authoritarianism in America, we the people will rule. This moment is not just about one man's greed, one man's corruption or one man's contempt for the Constitution. This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth who in their insatiable greed have hijacked our economy and our political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout this country.

I am talking about Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and the other multibillionaires, the very same billionaires who funded his campaign, who have bestowed gifts upon him and who have in sea have seen huge increases in their wealth and power since Trump took office. We rejected the divine right of kings in the 1770s. We will not accept the divine right of oligarchs today. Now you also had JD Vance giving interviews in the past 24 hours with right wing propagandist Benny Johnson, JD Vance saying he believes that UFOs exist, but the UFOs are demons and

they're not aliens, so that's the message from the Trump White House. Aliens are actually demons, that's what they want us to know, and they think that's important to share with us while Americans can afford groceries and while Trump started in a lawful war in Iran and while they're covering up the Epstein files and while Americans can afford homes and anything, demons, aliens, these people are just a bunch of dorks in their weirdos here play this clip. I don't think they're aliens, I think they're demons anyway, but that's a long discussion. And by the way, Joe Rogan, whose podcast we're beating on every platform right now, he even said the following about Maga. He's like, Maga, they're all dorks, they're all dorks, he said, you're playing this clip. No, the phrase make America great again. I don't care. But if that phrase sucks, here's the thing. Like first of all, America is great. Make America greater, I'm down, but make America great again and then it becomes a movement of a bunch of fucking dorks because a lot of them are dorks.

So a lot of them, these really weird fucking uninteresting, unintelligent people that have got something that they cling to and there's a lot of people that are just real genuine patriots. And they're all lumped into this one group and you got to accept the dorks too. Fuck that. Yeah. And here was JD Vance responding to being called a dork by Joe Rogan here play this clip. Joe says Magas full of dorks. What do you think? Do you think there's a dork? Magas dork. I think we have many, many fewer dorks than the far left, but everybody's got some force. And I just want to share you some of our on the share with you just briefly, some of our on the ground reporting right here on Capitol Hill. When we ask Congressmember McGovern through Pablo Monriquez who runs might as touch Washington DC Bureau, what do you make of what's going on with Trump and the GOP trying to not fund the TSA and then playing all of these games and saying, oh, you know, we now we can fund the TSA and, you know, and but what do you make of it, McGovern here play this

clip? Does the Secretary of DHS have to distract discretion to use this major ice money slash fund to pay TSA and be mad at some of these other agencies? I have no idea, but I mean, what it made money for TSA goes to TSA, you know, money appropriate for other agencies to go to other agencies. Look, here's the deal. We just need to fund all the agencies that are following the law. I mean, that's it's simple. That's what we've been asking for, TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, I mean, let's just fund them. This is ridiculous. And the Senate, you know, moved last night to do that, you know, we ought to move to do that today. Let's just get this behind us, you know, and get on to other things, but even without the reforms to ice. Well, I mean, look, there's no new funding for ice and there's no new funding for CBP. You know, I mean, I'm somebody who believes we should abolish ice. I don't think it should exist anymore. And the reforms that I want, quite frankly, you know, are not what the Republicans are talking about.

But the deal is, is they appropriate, you know, more money for ice that most countries spend on their militaries a year in this big ugly bill. So I mean, the idea, I mean, this ice has money. This is the other agencies that don't, and I'm not going to vote to give ice more money. I mean, they killed people. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's, I can't go down. It should be a pretty special prosecutor. This is my for the Epstein files. I, yes, I believe it should be. Okay. Thank you, Harrison. Here's what Congresswoman Ballon told us. Let's play it. Here's one last night. Donald Trump basically funded TSA with an executive order and then the Senate passed another bill funding TSA. Yeah. That was the bill even necessary. Like, I don't. Let's just look. Here's what I think. Okay. I think Republicans have realized they've given up all of their power to the president. And I think that on some level, they realized, wait a minute. This dude was holding up a deal for weeks. TSA people were not getting paid. And so they're like, oh, now he's going to swoop in to a problem that he created somehow

saved the day. And I think they realized, wait, we got to get our shit together. Yeah. Thank you, Harrison. You're welcome. At this time, the appointed special prosecutor for the Epstein files. 100%. Okay. Yeah. Here's what Congress member Gomez told us about ICE. Let's play this clip right here. So this kind of voted last night upon most of the DHS, a lot of the reforms that never has been fighting for, didn't go through for ICE and CBP. What's your reaction to this situation? What do you think we should go and worry about? I'm a no on the bill until I get a chance to really look at it, but this doesn't really put any constraints on ICE and CBP agents have been operating outside the bounds of the law. My district is very concerned about what kind of guardrails could be pretty placed. And that's because we were in the first district, the first city to see these ICE rates. I had a, some constituents have a constituent who died at ICE detention custody.

I have a constituent who was eight months pregnant and deported, and we couldn't even find her in the system until we didn't know what happened to her until she got in touch with her husband. So for us, it's not enough. I know maybe it's some for my college, but for me, it's not enough. How important is that the ICE and ABP pick off their masks? I don't know if I'm supposed to go into the job. Not only pick off the mask, it's also wear body cameras. You can't kick a door in unless you have a judicial warrant. Don't deport U.S. citizens. Those are some basic things that we ask for, and I think they're worth holding out for. And then I'll leave you with this statement from Donald Trump where he goes, perhaps we are now respected like never before. We are so hot, because hot as can be. I think this guy is so deranged here, play this clip. Also highly respected again, perhaps we are now respected like never, ever before.

I don't think we have ever been as respected now. You know, if you think about it a year and a half ago, our country was viewed as a joke. We were a joke all over the world. They were laughing at us as stupid. We were a weak, empathetic. Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. With the hottest country in the world, folks, when I see Donald Trump make statements like that, when I see his regime of thick offense, support, whatever the hell that is, it gives me fuel, and it makes me say we're in this together. We're going to stand strong together. Today is No Kings 3, the biggest No Kings yet. Over 3100 No Kings events across the country. Also internationally, shout out to all our international supporters.
