On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: The Trump regime arrests a sitting U.S. Senator in a shocking display of authoritarian overreach at a DHS press conference. Trump torpedoes his own immigration policy, lies about the situation in Los Angeles, and unleashes tanks in D.C. for a grotesque military spectacle. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to lead the charge against Trump’s escalating abuses of power. We break down the collapse of Trump’s poll numbers, his latest surrender in the trade war, the GOP’s humiliating congressional hearings, and more from another chaotic week under an unraveling regime. Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss it all.

What really scared me in that moment with padillas, was the thought that what if it was an older senator or someone with a health condition. Will it take them actually killing someone through a heart attack? A stroke? Or just slamming them to the ground for this to stop.
He could have broken his nose on that floor! They get more injured on concrete! Cosplay dog killer Noem knew who he is. He voted against confirming her! She’s just so self absorbed. Thank goodness he’s so strong and fit (and handsome). I can assure you that if that happened to me I would still be in the hospital or dead. F-ing pigs!🐽
She needs to work on her BAD skin condition. Too much plastic surgery on her bumpy face is terrible. She wears a hat and certain hairstyles to cover it up. Maybe she the dog killer should be arrested.
Spammer troll. Reported.
None of the above. The FBI, DHS and cops have been given free reign by trump(implied unless they kill someone like a Senator or oligarch then TACO will deny everything) to act however they want with no blowback. Just like he suddenly changed his mind about illegals all of a sudden when several of his richest donors started yelling at him they put him where he hates to be. Between MAGA and MONEY, he will side with money every time 10 years of anti immigrant propaganda on Fox News, Zombie food for MAGA that they swallowed whole and now, suddenly, their cult leader puts the brakes on ICE.
What has that to do with needing younger leaders in both parties? I don’t see the connection.
I too, had that very same thought. Unfortunately, that might wake the Lost Boys up!
I doubt that sincerely. Proud boys would see that as a feather in their cap!
The Proud Boys are younger. Many of the Republicans in Congress are much older than Alex Padilla.
Lotta Democrats are super old, too. We need younger leaders.
I would suggest that the Republicans in Congress should update their job resumes. I hear that our country has plenty of job opportunities in the fields and the meat packing plants!
Just sneak up behind El Taco and cut his Foley bags.
OH! Boy, am I slow today! I just "got it"!!!!! Thanks for the laugh! Good idea, though!
Omg, you’re too funny 🤣
🤣😂😆
Trump is a disturbing corrupt idiot!! #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
There was never a organization named Antifa Trump made it up , what I see they are pitting us against each other with misinformation and propaganda and hate
That always makes me laugh when they talk about antifa as an organization. It’s really an ideology or philosophy, probably the former. I consider myself antifa (who is for fascism but this regime: protifa lol), but have never heard of a meeting. It’s a way of thinking politically which melds well with a progressive ideology. At least, I think so!
QAnon is real and psycho president was involved along with Mike Flynn, MTG, many others in and out of the government. It’s some pretty freaky stuff. Watched a short BBC documentary.
My dyslexia wants it to be called pro-fita
Of course it's not an *organization* exactly, like it's not a 501(c)(3). But the people who call themselves Antifa are on the same side I am, even though I don't agree with some of their tactics.
It simply means Anti-fascist. trump blamed the BLM protests in Portland on antifa, saying they were looting and burning buildings. When in reality, it was found the boogaloo boys were doing those crimes, and were charged with those crimes. The peaceful protesters went home, boogaloo boys moved in, dressed as Antifa. Some at the Capitol on J6 were dressed in all black, said to be Antifa. They were not. Why would Antifa violently protest when the man they wanted won the election. They wouldn't.
Yes it does, but for several years, some anti-Trumpers and anti-fascists have called *themselves* Antifa. Some of them use violent tactics, which IMO are counter-productive ("they" are far better armed than "we" are, and far more ruthless). Many of them are confrontational but not violent, and more male-dominated than I choose to deal with. If you choose to believe that all people who call themselves Antifa are agents provocateurs, I can't stop you, but I hope you'll look further into the matter.
I never said I thought that anyone who called themselves antifa were agent provocateurs. What I said was that other groups were dressing as antifa and being blamed for the crimes, however, it was found to be untrue.
Anti-fascist literally means ANTIFA. So perhaps these groups you think are calling themselves anti-fascists, are actually another group. Like the three percenters, KKK, Boogaloo boys, Oath Keepers, or any one of the white nationalist groups in the US.
My comment about antifa not being organized was in response to MTG accusing Maxwell Frost (I think, he was off screen on the video I watched) of being a “card carrying” (my words) antifa member. I know it’s not organized. When was the last time you heard on the news it had done any action? I never have! Not really. Of course, I am not exposed to everything, but I am not low info either.
trump made it up? Seriously, why don't people ever research anything? I thought it was bad maga didn't know a lick of history! Yet to claim trump made up antifa? Ellen, c'mon.
https://www.rosalux.de/en/news/id/42095/the-lost-history-of-antifa
If u ask trump who antifa is u can see he made it up bc nothing he says points to anything in the story u shared. Not one point on anything in that story. "All made up in trumps head"
Probably because he thinks he "discovered" everything. He discovered it, he found it, he's just a liar and as uneducated as the people he loves. trump doesn't read. I swear to God, trump doesn't know anything about the US Constitution, doesn't know how our government works, doesn't know a damn thing about much of anything. He's always been an idiot.
Dumpf makes everything up! Well, he lies all the time. Did he originate the term “antifa?” What a hilarious idea! He never has an original thought.
Thank you MeidasTouch! You guys do amazing work! Never stop fighting!
We can never forget that this was all the results of Roberts evil supreme court what are disgusting a lot of thieves liars and cheats we have a new supreme court no shame and certainly no honor. 👉🏽 Roberts has been working his agenda for 25 years as a supreme court justice (never a junior justice they gave it to him, on day one) don’t you think it’s about time will you come up with term limits for crying out loud!
Please not to let the racist, ignorant Republican voters off the hook. Thank you.
We’re not communists in California! We don’t need liberation from anything except the dumpf regime.
While likely not original, please advocate the following:
Said softly, as passing others, "No Kings."
Just say "No Kings" and keep walking.
Don't look back; don't engage.
Just quietly say, "No Kings."
I like this idea!
She knew who he was, they all did. So basically they just let anyone in and not vet them before they were let in the room. It's bullshit. Lying witch.
Wasn't the senator in his own office building? So how did no one in official capacity in the room recognize him? Seems very strange.
Noems speech and Trumps liberation messages need to be part of California's argument in front of district court judge Byers and the appeals court hearings!! Words and intentions matter!!
I live in Los Angeles, California and we don’t NEED liberating from the bimbo, wanna-be dictator and his posse. We need Kristi (dog killer) Noem to get the F$&@ out of our city and our state. LAPD knows how to handle protest.
I do not even think rump is the engine of any of this anymore. He is the puppet being made to dance by the corrupt machine behind him. Which does not diminish he own part in this nightmare.
Little Stevie Miller
I cannot believe Noem‘s speech! Everybody is so focused on the arrest of Padilla, we missed the authoritarian takeover speech.
Thank you so much for your coverage! I am so utterly disappointed in the country I formerly loved! We are no longer a democracy. We are an authoritarian fascist regime. My grandparents emigrated here as WWII was starting — their entire families were murdered because they were Jews in Poland. They were so proud to be Americans. They would be broken hearted by the condition of this country now.
Ben, Thank you for explaining What Trump and His Admin. is Up To!! We Dems. Must get Wise To How An Authoritarian Take Over Is Being Perpetuated By The Republican Lackeys For Trump!!
I Must Say As A Black Woman, We Can’t Stand Down Anymore. We Must Be NonViolent And Descipline!! We Must Know Who Is In Our Group.
We Can’t Just Let Folks Make Up Their Own Rules When We Protest!!
I wonder how she saw the riots that weren't there. Well, Newsom got his right! They are afraid of him.
As an Army Veteran, I simply cannot believe that our uniformed men and women are even allowed to be used as a political stunt. If we had leadership other than a drunk, this would not happen! Disgusting.
So fucked up! Get out and protest tomorrow! Peacefully.
Rain or shine. Power in numbers. Every one person matters
Now is the time!!
Thank God you brothers are here.
Actually - the MAGA congress’ job is to destroy America live on TV while the world watches.
- Everyday your army doesn’t court martial 47 is a day closer to dictatorship.
I think we have been there already
Ben,
As a Venezuelan/American I totally remember as a child watching the military parade on tv, very common thing to see there.
Lord! It is disgusting!!!
I’m a Canadian and it makes my stomach turn every time I see this clip. I just don’t understand what is happening in the USA. What I hear of this senator is only good. It brings me to tears when he speaks of all those who are being snatched and what treatment they would get.
IMPEACH IMMEDIATELY THE ENTIRE CABINET AND THE REST OF HIS GOONS!!
GET RID OF CONVICTED FELON RAPIST BEFORE HE GETS US INTO A CIVIL WAR!!! WAKE THE F UP YOU MAGGOTS!!
I hope she gets sensored, they did it to green just for banging his cane. She's a butch ass bitch but she needs her ass kicked to
You three are priceless! Love Brett (pardon me if I mix up the names!) showing us the clip(s) of Los Angeles! The Dictator Stupid Dingbat Idiot in the Oval Office is absolutely brainless! He's just dying for people to fight back (violently, that is) so he can send the troops in. He's probably going to be extremely angry when nothing violent happens. It's going to drive him more nuts than he already is (if it's possible)! I sure hope other cities do the same thing this weekend.
Absolutely horrifying. Strength to California, strength to 'the people'. Lying pieces of shit, garbage fascist monkeys. Where are all the rich people in L.A.??? Help out instead of cowering in your mansions.
I think that Newsome should be applauded for standing up to the dump. I think that he will probably go far because it looks like he's not afraid of this administration and has seen the light of what they are doing.
Great content today.
Can you comment on if it's true or not that one of Trump's "hidden" companies is offering money to people to attend his parade on Saturday? I read that yesterday somewhere but would like to confirm it or have it denied for real.
I wouldn't doubt it, since he's always talking about paid instigators, paid people to attend others rallies. Here's an article though:
https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/06/clever-ad-says-trump-is-paying-people-in-crypto-to-attend-parade-its-a-joke-right-right.html
I found this on Ground.news which has been checked for factuality... it still says "alledged":
"The ad purports to be seeking seat fillers for an event on Jun. 14, with potential attendees instructed to wear red, white and blue with gold accessories. People of color are encouraged to apply for “perception control.”
The ad states that attendees will be given a red hat to wear, a fast food lunch will be provided and they will receive a flat fee of $1,000 paid in an unnamed cryptocurrency."
Here is the "ad" that is linked to this article: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/washington-seat-fillers-needed-june/7857143452.html

The most important and honest news is on MeidasTouch
Is it any surprise that the population no longer treats one another with respect or kindness, when our congress members are so rude and disrespectful! I am very ashamed of this country now.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The hearing on deployment of National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles began yesterday at 1:30 PM PT/4:30 PM EST. There's a three hour difference between these time zones, and the court is located in California.
Newsom’s legal team argued that Trump’s use of federal troops violates state sovereignty, as there is no rebellion or invasion to justify the deployment.
The judge agreed with Newsom, around 9:00pm PT/12:00am EST Thursday. Newsom then held a press conference about the ruling.
Gov Newsom GIVES ADDRESS on Trump COURT LOSS
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwh05o3UTn0
🚨 An hour later, an appeals court of the 9th circuit, has blocked the judgement until the appeal can be heard on Tuesday June 17 2025.
Trump retains control of all state and federal guards, as well as any military such as the Marines, deployed to any state.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP PROTESTS PEACEFULL AND NOT TO PHYSICALLY ENGAGE WITH ANY OF TRUMP'S FORCES.
MOVE AWAY IF THEY APPROACH YOU
The best protest against the military parade is not to be in Washington DC, and thereby boycott the parade and all of DC.
Protest everywhere else with signage and messaging. Make your numbers visible.

I find it so eerie that she just kept going like there was nothing happening. Jeez, George W Bush had a shoe thrown at his head and at least acknowledged it before continuing on. This was a whole assault on a Senator, for heaven’s sake, and you’re going to act like it was invisible?
Why aren't judges authorizing trump to release the epstein files? We need to throw the shit at trump as fast as he is throwing it to the American People. ??
She is such a lying bitch! Why isn't this reporter calling her on her lies! It did not bother her that he raised his voice to ask questions, she just kept on giving her stupid speech. Reporter needs to grow some balls, and call them on every fucking lie!
They are all like a veneral disease. They just keep coming back, over, and over.
Hegseth is a total JOKE! He has ZERO idea what he's doing! Get RID OF HIM NOW!! POS!
Who are those people causing trouble? Outside and paid agitators like Proud Boys, Oath Keepers other supremacists. Jolly said they get those people out.
When did they go to djt's properties to seek out the gardners, cooks, other workers to check their immigration status?? Oh, not yet, then WHEN???
That ain't happening. trump has already contradicted homan and miller in saying that the farmers and the leisure industry raids would change. Don't be surprised, and you heard it here first, if trump does not give all these undocumented workers a special "trump green card" that allows them to work and live in the U.S.🤣🤣🤣 https://substack.com/@bluesmurf

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Please remember the 70's chant "The Whole World is Watching" for the Demonstations on Saturday.
This is unacceptable. Power hungry fools.
It’s like listening to a bunch of backwoods fighting families fighting over moonshine????
I would rather fight over moonshine than what we have to fight for today. I don't even drink, but right now, a shot of moonshine sounds good.
Thank you for setting the record straight. We are in a full blown authoritarian coup 🤦♀️

It was horrible come on he clearly said his name and that fact that he had a question for her, unreal what the hell is next no respect this is sad
Trump said protesters will be met with “very heavy force.” I think he plans to use the military tanks to run over people if they lie in protest in front of them. Don’t believe he’d do it? What could be heavier than a tank. He will absolutely order it because he thinks he IS a king.
Get this incompetent asshole outta the White House!!
Thank you gentlemen! Love your insight.
Members of the congress need to bring the capitol police with them when they try to confront these people. Capitol police have jurisdiction anywhere in the USA that a congressional representative physically is.
HELL YES! TAX THE FUCKING RICH!
Absolutely unfucknbelievable!! WTF does she think she’s doing?!?! WTF does Cheeto face think he is doing?!? They had no right to put any hands on that Senator!! I’m so sick of this administration and Congress!!
Remember Tiananmen Square, you are 24 hrs away
This is all absolutely crazy!Do they actually believe the shit they spew? They are delusional!! When the democrats get back in power ALL these individuals need to be held to account!
Thank you all. Be safe and well.
So, will they do a goose step. What colour are their shirts and ties. Is a jack boot the new fashion statement.
Almost 50% of LA is Latino.
Newsom is right about the coconspirators. They are enabling this bullshit because they are steadily completing their mission. That’s what they did with J6 claiming peaceful protest!
Does this sound familiar? It seems like this is the direction we are headed.
Trump took on the Democrats by force. In 2025, Trump used the National Guard and other Military groups and engaged in violence against Democrats and other enemies. In 2025, Project 2025 turning this movement into a republican party. The party emphasized national unity—even if it required violence to keep dissenters in check.
Basically, Trump hated the Democrats, and so did the rest of the republicans. One driving force behind republican violence was their desire to punish the Democrats. The Republican leaders viewed the Democrats as cowardly traitors, internal enemies, who needed to be eradicated.
In 2025 Trump was the elected as president, and during that year, tens of thousands of armed military marched in the states and cities of the country, ultimately as enforcers of Trump being the ultimate ruler of all. The government as we know it was dissolved and Trump oversaw control over the police, military, policy, law, academic, and the people.
Under the trump dictatorship, Military squads used violence to kill, harm, frighten, and humiliate their enemies and Trump could rely on the police to go after enemies like Democrats, Professors, and anyone who opposed him.
Ice Barbie PuppyKiller's statement about "liberating" Los Angeles echoes another such statement from decades ago, that it "became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it." (paraphrased a bit, but that's the substance)
Do people understand all drug pharmaceutical medications are made in China? Do people understand that if China wanted to stop making all medications for the USA, what would happen?
While a majority or pharmaceuticals are manufactured outside of the U.S., it is spread amongst several countries. Most generics come from China. We also have drugs coming from India, Mexico, Japan and Europe. I found this article interesting on the break down of the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain: https://prosperousamerica.org/study-finds-over-90-of-all-generic-drugs-dependent-on-imports/#:~:text=An%20economic%20analysis%20from%20the,by%20weight%2C%20accounting%20for%20190

He’s always made things up but he is different in that he is on the war path and is in cognitive decline.
Kristy PuppyKiller's thugs would not have done this to a white man.
I don’t know what Delusional Donald aka psycho president has against Newsom but he clearly has a vendetta.
Since he is a malignant Narcissist, it could be something as simple as saying something negative about him in public. It could be something bigger. trump never forgives nor does he forget. If he puts a person in a coveted place close in his circle, it is because he has plans for a great big and lavish public fall for that person. He will use them until the timing is right or a falling out, like musk, and then he will take the person down. Newsom said something that upset him either on the air or on X or to him personally where only he could hear.
We never did hear what happened to that reporter who hit him in the face with the boom mic in Arizona, but I'll bet he/she no longer has a job with that agency. Hard to say if we could find out.

Right I saw that! I wonder because he couldn’t shut up about it.
We are doomed if something drastic is not done NOW‼️
He’s totally delusional. His first term he told 30,573 lies, 21 per day according to the Washington Post Fact Checker.
Where are all the videos of the Senator attacking the dog killer? See how she lies. Because you know if others were taping they would be all over FB, etc.. to show what an attacker looks like. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! LOCK THEM UP! 🤬
Did you ever look up the profile of a conspiracy theorist ⁉️
Here is how Trump is supporting the military…took away $1 billion that was allocated to update and improve barracks and reallocated it to the border. Cutting SNAP which is helping military families feed themselves because they are not paid a living wage!
They are all lying and manipulate the facts and situation. Is she that stupid not to realize there are cameras or is she sending a message backed up by the regime!
in my humble opinion, the lack of intelligence is a determining factor here.
I am just so depressed. Judge Breyer makes a judgement and then it is immediately stayed by the Court of Appeals? WHY? NOTHING happens to this guy. Nothing.
Well, nothing that we mostly get to hear about. BUT - right now, this week, the 2nd circuit court of appeals denied his request to drop the lawsuit from E. Jean Carrol that he already lost -- twice. His litigation to have the Stormy Daniels trial overturned by having it moved to a federal court is ludicrous and has already failed, but he asked again anyway. We haven't heard anything about the fraud case, but I'm sure that he is trying to work it into a federal case so he can make it go away. These things aren't happening - he is stalling, delaying, and continuing to attack. That is his M.O. - and when he loses, he will pay quietly and try not to bring attention to any of it. But we are all watching and we will all tell!

https://substack.com/@bluesmurf
C'mon you guys. He wasn't arrested. Don't fall into the rage bating. Please.
This is no longer the USA‼️
Someone needs to shut her mouth up. Get her for treason.
The goons deserve a taste of their own actions. When and it will, time comes to arrest them do what they do.
They didn’t even provide for them in LA.
How many actual criminals did they arrest?
Mike Johnson is suppose to represent Louisiana. Who has the poorest people and more welfare cases then any where I heard. He should be ashamed of hiself
Our excellent standing in the world has now dropped to so low! The rest of the world now longer looks to us for leadership! In such a short time since competent people were leading to a bunch of clowns pretending and posturing at vital positions…the pentagon has sunk to bickering under Hegseth! Our Secretary of State is totally inept and has literally abandoned Ukraine as well as failing at making any peace progress for the Middle East, while Trump say let them fight it out on the playground!
H. Nutlick, hahaha, that is the best thing I have heard in weeks. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You stated that senator Padilla was arrested at the press conference but he is seen on tv saying he was not arrested. Please be accurate, there are already so many lies out there from the right. We don’t need them coming from the left. We need to be extremely accurate in our reporting.
Ok again..
isn't it a juxtaposition-Trump and JD- not the only ones in the WH- married immigrant women or are from immigrant families???
He wasn't actually arrested nor detained. I completely respect the Meidas group, but please keep your reporting accurate. We are all aware what a little you-know-what Noem is. She's
effing pathetic as is every Secretary the felon has appointed. I love what you guys are doing but don't want to give THEM any ammunition to say you guys are reporting false news. Keep up the good!
When 3-4 agents of the FBI or whoever they were, throw someone to the ground, like say, a Senator, restrain him and handcuff him, I would say he was detained! Detained also means restrained. You’re minimizing what happened. Semantics.
I'm certainly not trying to minimize what those aholes did to Padilla. Yes... Restrained can also mean detained but has a broader definition. Both words mean that a person was prevented from moving forward etc. so... Ok fine. ICE sucks either word you use.
Yes. I get it. And agree that ‘ICE sucks either word you use.’
This doesn’t look like anyone being freed and liberated! Also, dog whistle speak by Trump “ we will make LA clean again”. Like it was dirty because of the presence of brown people!
Now on X they are spreading lies saying that somebody named Soros is paying people 200
00 to protest
Where is mine? Heck, I'll go to a whole bunch of them if I can get $200 for each. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She's a lying sack piece of shit I'd like the smack them fu--king extensions out of her head. He clearly said who he was 2 times before they drug him out. I would like to know what he was fully saying when he was drug out about 12 something
.
As a Canadian that was threatened by your demented President I enjoy listening to what is really going on in the US and not the cowardly mainstream media. Keep up the great work.
Disgusting, this so very much hurts my heart
So much information that is factual and well said.
I knew yesterday pretty much everything that you covered today. I listen to other podcasts and they seem to be getting the news out before the Meidas Touch. Sorry but true
100% correct about where the eyeballs are. They are not on MSM. My MAGA friends/family are continuously consuming videos on YouTube, newsmax, Alex jones, etc. which have taught them to absolutely hate California and all of its current politicians, full stop. It seems irrational to someone who is not in that echo chamber but it’s reality.
Are you covering the protests this week-end?
They say that they are. Keep an eye out on MTN for live video.
Thanks for the info.
Does she get that Newsom, Bass and Padilla were ELECTED? Chosen BY the people of California for the people of California?
Thank you from the great blue state of Massachusetts from a paid subscriber..
.
She lied at least 4 times! The video is so clear.
Did they also give POC the 'white privilege card'????
Count on Kristi Noem to give the game away. Thank heavens for their stupidity and inability to STFU.
Great coverage! Facts. I love facts. We need to intake more facts during this period of gaslighting. Love you guys!
I am so grateful your coverage. The toxic bs from this totally incompetent executive office is keeping the fight for justice building and the Republican Party disintegrating. I will never be able to vote Republican again. What a disgusting and disgraceful transformation.
The most effective opponent for DT was Joe Biden until members of his own party organized to take him down. Where is all that organization now???
The advice to peacefully protest and let other people in the community see we are peaceful and what we value is probably the best way to steer this in the right direction, but can he seriously shut that right down, he’s trying to so badly, and it’s like watching a very very dark comedy the way they do it because they are so stupid and people believe it oh my go wad so many fools !!!!!
The military is supposed to remain neutral, remain independent of politics. WTF?!!! 🤬 This is scary.
I would have liked to be at the senate meeting and told those senators to grow up and act like human beings. It's so disgraceful the way they acted. I wish everyone could see how they talk and act, I think most people would be disgusted and not support them. It makes me sick to my stomach to see grown lawmakers acting this way. They have no respect for themselves or any one else.
Please talk about WHY houses are not affordable, WHY rent is high, WHY health care is so expensive, WHY insurance is so expensive. Just stating the obvious fills air time. Private Equity. Stakeholders. Private Equity. CEO compensation. Private Equity.
Someone please tell me--WHY does the military have to protect him at this event??????? Geeze. Come on--someone. Take charge and stop this SOB.
Some Texans are so embedded in Fox News and literally support this REGIME🤨

Even the dogs are fired up!
Imagine if they did this in Canada or Greenland? The reaction should be the same
Right on you guys! You say well what we all are thinking. Thank you for giving us truth.
How many do we already know have died in ICE custody and how many more will be revealed in time? They need to keep Laiken R out of their mouths! Hundreds have died from USAID cuts already and thousands with Medicare cuts!

It's so annoying
Antifa. Antifa is anti-fascism. I thought every true-blue American is against fascism. So....
Aren't we all antifa? We should be.
Gop is profa? Pro-fa.
Disgusting.
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology characterized by dictatorial rule, strong regimentation of society and the economy, and forcible suppression of opposition. It often involves a belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests to the nation or race, and militarism. Fascism opposes ideologies like communism, democracy, liberalism, and socialism.
Fuck you, gop.
That’s pretty much it. Impossible to make this stuff up.
These people are morons and these two are Top shelf examples of that, why do we expect something different?
Nothing is going to be different from here on in.
It just gets worse for as long as we take it.
This was a show of brute force. He was escorted into that meeting. In L.A., there are almost as many domestic weapons as there are people! It’s better to tread lightly because in a revolution no one will be safe.

I believe that FIFA should start pulling out of the World Cup altogether and encourage all nations to boycott the United States 🇺🇸 altogether.

He slept through it.
A man who recreated his MUG SHOT as his official Presidential portrait is unworthy of the office.

🕊️ A Call from One Grandparent to Another: Stand for the America Our Grandchildren Deserve 🇺🇸
To my beloved fellow grandparents,
Today, across this great nation, generations are gathering—shoulder to shoulder in “No King” marches—to raise their voices for freedom, justice, and democracy. They are doing what so many before them have done: standing in peaceful protest to ensure that no president, no party, no regime becomes a monarch over our people.
Let us stand with them. Let us remind our children and grandchildren that this is how America has always found its way forward—through the people.
📚 From Selma to Standing Rock, from the March on Washington to the Women’s March—peaceful protest is our American tradition. It is our shield and our sword against injustice:
The 1963 March on Washington brought over 250,000 people together and helped pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches led to the Voting Rights Act.
The 2018 March for Our Lives, led by high schoolers, reignited national gun safety conversations.
The 2020 George Floyd protests sparked global movements for police accountability.
Each of these marches made our communities stronger. Not weaker. Not more divided—but more awakened.
🕯️ Today’s protests are especially sacred. They honor the lives of Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman, good public servants who were gunned down in their homes this morning, reportedly for doing their jobs with honor and courage. They stood up for us—now we must stand for the right to speak up, without fear.
Let us be absolutely clear:
🔹 The First Amendment is non-negotiable.
🔹 Violence meant to silence speech is terrorism, not patriotism.
🔹 We do not cower—we march louder. We speak braver.
🔹 We must teach our families this lesson by living it.
📣 To every grandparent reading this:
Join a protest if you can.
Support one online if you cannot.
Talk to your family, your neighbors, your church groups.
Let them know: free speech lives as long as we defend it.
We are the roots of this family tree. Let’s be strong ones. 🌳
For our kids. For our country. For the Constitution.
With love and clarity,
Clarissa Sr. — an American Grandma

He’s headed for Minnesota next. I was expecting NY.
Remember that was how they did on Jan 6.
I see now why he doesn’t care about other countries being taken over. He has the same goal here.
Bullshit she's an idiot 🙄
In Minnesota early this morning a Dem leader of our House of Representatives and her husband were shot and killed in their home by a person impersonating a police officer. The suspectis at large and the police found a manifesto in his car that identified other targets. It appears to be a politically motivated attack.
May courage rise in the hearts of our voices, guided not by fear, but by truth and understanding.
May wisdom guide our words to hold firm those to account for their actions done in bad faith.
Choose justice over obedience, remembering our forefathers gave their lives to the Constitution, and not for power.
In every step, in every voice, may we lead with integrity and honor.
As, our children will be watching us.

All week there have been hundreds of thousands protesting against the Trump Regime's illegal activities:
It's blatent disregard for putting most American lives in harm's way through para-military engagement of civilians, their disappearences, and the suspension of national medical programs.
It's destruction of our economy, causing widespread losses of personal savings, pensions, social security, and our ability to make a living, through psudo-economic policies that make no sense and have led to hyper inflation and the devaluation of the US dollar.
Advocation of Trump's own legal accountability to the courts, and our own choices for local government.
We are here,
No Kings Day Saturday June 14th 2025
Find a protest near you:
https://www.nokings.org
KEEP PROTESTS PEACEFULL
Use signage and messaging to make your numbers visible.
- stop H.R.1 or the Big Beautiful Bill
- demand the constitution be reveered and not perverted
- reinstate respect for the rule of law
- call for an end to his divisiveness
The best way to protest against the military parade is not to be in Washington DC - so that only crickets are there.
All of this will show the courts and our leaders the destruction of our society by Trump is unwarranted, and contrary to the values America was founded on. Show there is no justifiable reason for it.
Don't kill anyone.
ITS NOT Trump. Stop giving him power…his minions need to be accountable.
I want to see thst parade go sideways!!! So bad!
If I wasn't already signed up for a No King's Day rally in Bethlehem, PA, this podcast would have absolutely opened my eyes that this action is our citizen's duty not just a choice.
After listening to this report I am physically nauseated. The American people all deserve to hear what’s going on in Congress. This report should be amplified from sea to sea.
De-fund FOX! It CAN BE DONE!!!
If you believe as we do that MAGA fails without FOX and that destroying honest media like PBS makes it even worse;
Eviscerate FOX. Deny them ad $ by denying the ad buying company CEO and execs bonuses. For example Home Depot. Boycott them for a full fiscal quarter. Get all on line influencers to post every day for the entire time. See how fast CEO’s stop buying ads - do only ONE brand - do it implacably for an entire quarter. See how quickly you become the new sheriff in town and how fast other CEO’s quit buying ads. See how fast FOX changes content. All they care about is $. Oh - and next generation FOX CEO will be a decent human being if you do this.
Details matter. Talk to me. See Target and Tesla for examples. Companies are people, not paper. Make it personal.
Hearing Trump and his people say they're going to "liberate" Las Angeles makes me think of a thief stealing something and their terminology is "I like to think I liberated it."
Great! Proud of America!
Will the Supreme Court do something
I think Trumps sycophants just take a pill or drink the koolaid that transforms them instantly into pathological liars, like him.
An extremely IN-DEPTH look that breaks down and puts irrefutable TRUTH to what it’s like living in America on this already superstitious day.
**I think we can all agree that Midas has easily become one of our most trusted news sources for truth in the current political climate, however, the reporting here in this episode turned a huge corner in my opinion of, “The Meidas Touch Network.” The organization, along with the reporting of the information in this particular episode felt personal without being showy, it felt informational, without being a bore, it felt factual, without propaganda pushing, it felt entertaining, without minimizing the integrity or importance of the info being dispersed. If the reporting in this episode or this network as a whole, is not Pulitzer nominated, I truly can’t think of one thing that should be. Bravo Brothers at making this dumpster fire of a News Week, tolerable & understandable for this, “News exhausted nation.”
OMG these adults are acting like children!
What is she even trying to say??? I don’t think she knows. It’s like diarrhea of words coming out of her mouth.
I appreciate your honest news reports. I don't live in the U.S. but I stand with you and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Hope all goes well with your peaceful protests tomorrow, Saturday, June 14/25.
I was just going to say that she sounds like she is mounting a COUP!!!
Disgraceful
Jordi is saying it all about Gov. Newsom tells it how he sees trump calling him out for his thr Traitor hallucinating.
All it will take will be one MAGA "plant" to provide the media optics to justify violence. You are not defenseless. Check out the shenanigansmarketing.shop site to acquire a humiliating anti-Trump device. The Malarkey Feather Duster, the ultimate BS buster. Everyone will want one, if only for the stress relief.
The dog killer said "He never got arrested" like that makes it ok?
The dog killer can't handle a "burdensome" Senator ?
No legit news organizations should show his face even once, nor mention his name or his effing birthday.
Its been said that Trump's hero is Hitler. It seems that Trump has set a course to turn the US into an Aryan nation.
Trump helpers are hiring people from. Craig's list to be spectators at the military parade.
Nobody will be watching 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing the truth!
Will he show up in uniform? Hat sunglasses the whole shebang??
Ben’s Discussion of how he believes is Right On !!!!
We do need to walk and chew gum
Those FBI OFFICERS SHOULD BE FIRED.
The republican congress fails the people and sees this all as normal. Vote the out.
We should not put it on social m dia
💙💙💙

Cool!

I am a paid subscriber there but youtube won't let me access this- is there an extra charge besides the $10 a month I pay to access youtube content?
Are you a paid subscriber to this substack?
Yes - as stated above - yes- I pay $10 a month to subscribe to MTN- but it won't let me access programs on youtube
Oh, I see. Hmmm. YouTube is essentially free but they also have a subscription. The substack fee would not apply to YouTube, but interesting that you can't watch YouTube. Have you tried using a different browser? Do you have a stronger than strong firewall? Have you cleared your cache on your browser lately? Updated your computer or just restarted it? Sometimes things get clogged up..
And if I am talking to a fellow IT guy who already knows all that stuff - my apologies... just thinking out loud trying to help.
When did he ever act like a president?
Please listen to this! Extremely important!! Educate yourself and be aware of AI

He's using his weenie power. 😂 LOSER's!
Yes Brett not on his own.
They are now on Bannons substack claiming the No Kings protests tomorrow are funded by China
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG! I don't know about you, but I haven't received a dime, a nickel or a penny or any other tender or barter of any kind to speak up and speak out. The poor MAGAs. They so want to be relevant and on the news. Our best defense is to go on the offense, ignore him, and definitely do not get defensive.
You can't argue with stupid and win. They will pull you down to their level and beat you with experience.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
