Massive protests against Donald Trump and his criminal regime are erupting across the world. That very first clip I just shared, that's Donald Trump's effigy being burned during a protest that featured thousands of people in Mexico City. In the second clip that was played shortly, shortly thereafter were thousands of protesters. Could even be tens of thousands of protesters at Powderhorn park in Minneapolis protesting Donald Trump's Gestapo, his ICE and Border Patrol occupying Minneapolis and their cold blooded murder of Renee Nicole Goode, say her name. The protests in Minneapolis were huge. And then there were protests that we were seeing across the United States. Massive protests in New York City, massive protests in Los Angeles, in Austin and other major cities. The people in the United States want Donald Trump impeached. They want this criminal regime that is repressing the people of the United States. They want this criminal regime gone. Just look at what's happened over the past 24 hours as well as Donald Trump has surged an additional 1,000 paramilitary ISIS Gestapo to invade Minneapolis, taking the total to 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo invading Minneapolis Also as Donald Trump tries to take away billions in childcare service funding by the federal government to blue states including Minneapolis, as they shut down all of the Department of Agriculture funding to Minnesota, Minneapolis, other blue states and blue cities. What is Donald Trump doing? Well, Donald Trump has ordered, according to the Daily Mail, he's officially ordered Special Forces commanders in the United States military to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland. This is getting serious and very specific. He's made an order about an invasion of Greenland which could be imminent. Now the One thing holding it back is that senior military figures, according to the Daily Mail, believe that such an invasion would destroy NATO, would be unlawful. Donald Trump doesn't care and seems that he's more interested in destroying NATO right there. Now, in response, what we're also learning is GB reports that the United Kingdom may be sending troops into Greenland in order to call Donald Trump's bluff after Donald Trump's takeover threats. So this article goes on to talk about how the UK along with its European allies are saying, well, why don't we just put our troops there and say, look, we are doing a NATO surge in Greenland, called Donald Trump's bluff prove that it's not about security against Russia or China in Greenland because Greenland would already be protected by the NATO alliance already. America already has multiple defense treaties with Greenland and Denmark. The United States can build as many military bases as it basically wants there and already has military bases. So this is just about Donald Trump and maga. As they've said, they're the predators. They consider themselves the predators of the Western hemisphere. And as predators, they want to take it over because they want just the control, they want to dominate it and they want to destroy NATO. But these predators are also very pathetic as predators most frequently are because one of the things that again is taken place in the past 24 hours now, the United States Embassy to Venezuela, through the United States Department, United States State Department is urging all American citizens immediately leave Venezuela. This is how it's being reported on. State regime media on Fox US Warns Americans to leave Venezuela immediately as armed militias set up roadblocks. Armed militias in Venezuela known as collectivos are reportedly setting up roadblocks to search vehicles for evidence of U.S. citizenship. But I'm confused. State regime media, didn't you and Donald Trump say that people in Venezuela were celebrating the United States invasion and that all these opposition pro democracy forces were dancing in the streets of Caracas? But now the United States Embassy in Caracas is saying all Americans need to leave immediately because they will be subject to torture or murder by the current authoritarian regime in Venezuela. Del C. Rodriguez, Diodato's Cabello, Maduro's crew, who's still running Venezuela. So I guess as Donald Trump would you call the guy Mr. Exxon because he don't know the names of the oil company executive. So you would say Mr. Chevron, Mr. Exxon. While I probably rarely agree with Mr. Exxon on a lot of things, when he said that Venezuela is uninvestable and that there's no way to actually get in there and do business there. Perhaps Mr. Exxon knew a little bit more than you did, Donald. Here's how state regime known as Fox here. How here's state regime Media is reporting the US Government issued a new security alert Saturday urging Americans in Venezuela to leave immediately, citing security concerns and the US Government's inability ability to provide emergency assistance. According to the US Embassy in Caracas, those risks include wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of laws, crime, civil unrest and poor health and infrastructure. But I thought that everything was great. Didn't you say that Donald Trump and your regime. Oh, wait a minute. Everything you say is absolutely false. And again, while the American people are suffering right now, if they're able to get a paycheck, psychologically torture living paycheck to paycheck, are they going to be able to afford rent? Americans can't afford rent. They can't afford homes. They can't afford a mortgage. Their health care is being ripped away. The Affordable Care act subsidies were not extended by maga. They've blocked it. Even though there was a bipartisan vote in the House to extend the Affordable Care act subsidies. Trump and the MAGAs in the Senate are still blocking it right now. And so people lost their Obamacare plans, their Affordable Care plans that have kept them alive. But folks, the Trump regime's priorities are. Let's take a look what they've talked about in the past 24 hours. RFK Jr posts the following reports coming out of Germany show the government sidelining patient autonomy and limiting people's abilities to act on their own convictions when they face medical decisions. That is why Friday I sent a letter to Germany's federal Minister of health. Dude, who are you, RFK Jr. You're the worst health. You're like the anti health person, the worst health and human services person in the United States history. Why you care about Germany. Leave them alone. I think that other countries probably have a better command of healthcare than the United States. As Aurora Lolic says, who do you think you are exactly like, Germany's not a colony. Take care of your own people. We're doing just fine. Stay the hell out. All of these Trump regime people, all of them are freaking predators one after the other. Now with all of this going on as protests are erupting across the United States and across the world, that first one you saw was the protest in Mexico City again, where Trump's, that doll of Trump was being burned in. His effigy was being burned in. You also have the Trump White House, the official White House account, making posts like this, a photo of an ICE officer shooting a black man in the face with some sort of non lethal gas rounds, which could be lethal. I just want to be clear. They're called non lethal. They could kill people. Shooting somebody in the face with gas and noxious substances. And this is what the White House says, stand with ice, stand with law enforcement. And so they're showing. I mean, just look at this. As Aaron Rupar writes, why is this Trump thug brandishing his gun like this? I mean, again, you have these gestapo who are approaching people who are engaged in their First Amendment rights of peaceful protests because ICE has invaded their peaceful cities and is harassing and terrorizing people and they're shooting them in the face. I mean, they killed Renee Nicole Goode and they're shooting other people in the face. They then they're promoting that as stand with ICE while this is taking place as well. Over the weekend, Christy Noem, who's a terrorist, Kristi Noem, and Todd Lyons, he's the acting head of ice, they published a memo that was just made public. And according to this new memo that was just made public, they say that as long as they use funds from what Donald Trump refers to as his one big beautiful bill, which I refer to as the disastrous bill, the one that destroyed people's Medicaid and healthcare and was tax cuts for the billionaires. So the position that the Trump regime is taking is that if they use funding from the one big beautiful bill. I hate that name. I'm just telling you what their argument is. To in any way fund an ICE detention center, they can ignore a federal judge's order that requires ICE to allow members of Congress access to the detention facilities. Because under existing law, members of Congress have an absolute right to visit detention centers without notice. They're members of Congress. They were able to look at it. The Trump regime was preventing them from doing this. A federal judge ordered the Trump regime. The law says that members of Congress can go inside these detention facilities. And now the position by ICE and Kristi Noem and Border Patrol and all of them is, no, we're not letting the members of Congress in because of the protests in Minneapolis. And now that we're funding some of these facilities with money from the disastrous budget bill, which they called the one big beautiful bill that allows us to not comply with the judge's order that says you have to let the members of Congress in. And this is the regime that calls themselves transparent. I mean, they are hiding torture in. These detention centers are concentration camps. You get that right they are torturing human beings in these detention centers. A lot of them are privately funded and are private businesses making a ton of money. Trump's right wing oligarch friends, they own a lot of these detention facilities, but there's torture taking place in them. Why else do they not want to allow the members of Congress to visit? Because the people are being starved. And these detention centers, they don't have showers or toilets and they're being shoved into rooms like animals shouldn't be treated this way. That's what's going on behind the scenes there. And it's absolutely, absolutely disgusting. I want to also mention Iran. And let's be very clear here on the Midas Touch Network, our hearts. I wish I could do more other than let the people of Iran who were under an Internet blackout know, and those who are, of course are here with family members there, that we support democracy in Iran right here, we support pro democracy there. And for all of the people there who are protesting and risking their lives, you know, it is an incredibly difficult, challenging thing that they're doing. And we know from a lot of the reporting right now, from some really good reporters who are finding out what's happening despite the Internet blackout, is that these protesters are getting mutilated, shot and killed by the Iranian regime right now. And there's just a lot of mixed messages coming out from Donald Trump. It's like he wants to take credit. So he's making posts saying, you know, this is what freedom looks like. If, if you shoot the protesters, we're gonna go to war, we're gonna send boots on the ground, America's locked and loaded and ready to go. And then he says with, we know that there are lots of people who have died. And then Donald Trump's now like, they died because of stampedes. That's why they're dying, because of the stampedes. Well, you've threatened now that you were going to go to war. So are you going to do another? Because you've now created that situation, Donald, where you said you're going to war. So now is America going to war with Iran? Because that was what your threat was. If they kill the protesters, they're killing the protesters. So now what? So now you go to war with Greenland, you go to war with Iran, you go to war with Venezuela, which you call a legal operation, which is ridiculous. You threaten wars with Cuba, Colombia, you threaten to bomb Mexico, and that's why they're protesting there. I mean, what the hell the hell is even going on right now? But despite the fact that you know the facts about what's happening in Venezuela. I shared with you. You read what the State Department said. But Donald Trump's like, Venezuela is doing great right now. I mean, what are social media posts? I love the Venezuela people. I'm already making Venezuela rich and safe again. Congratulations and thank you to all those people who are making this possible. It's not safe and it's not rich. Look, we all agree Maduro's a bad guy and a really bad guy and he was illegitimate. He lost the election to Maria Karina Machado's pick and Mundo Gonzalez. That's the reality of what happened. And Maduro's a bad guy. But the question is, should there have been an invasion of Venezuela regime change where now you are not supporting the pro democracy forces, you're still supporting the authoritarian regime. Delsey Rodriguez and Diodatos Cabello from the Maduro regime. There's massive repression, uninvestable. As Mr. Exxon said, the American people should, through their representatives, should vote. I mean that's what war powers is all about. You don't have the authority to do this without Congress. I mean, what are we doing here, folks? So that's what's taking place.

The MeidasTouch Podcast – Episode Summary
Title: Trump Loses it as Massive Protests Spread…Worldwide!!!
Date: January 11, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Network: MeidasTouch Network
This episode centers around the escalating global and domestic protests against Donald Trump and his increasingly authoritarian regime. The Meiselas brothers dissect the breadth of the civil unrest—from Minneapolis and Mexico City to major US and global capitals—as well as the administration's responses, controversial policy moves, and looming international crises. With their signature biting wit, they express both outrage and solidarity with democracy advocates, while underscoring the dire stakes of the Trump administration’s recent actions.

Increased federal deployments:
Alarming White House communications:
“They are hiding torture…these detention centers are concentration camps…they are torturing human beings. That’s what’s going on behind the scenes…absolutely disgusting.” — Ben (13:34)
Greenland invasion threat:
Venezuela crisis:
“I’m confused; State regime media, didn’t you and Donald Trump say that people in Venezuela were celebrating the United States invasion…But now the U.S. Embassy in Caracas is saying all Americans need to leave immediately because they will be subject to torture or murder?” — Ben (06:14)
Iran and foreign policy confusion:
“What the hell is even going on right now?” — Ben (16:45)
“So now you go to war with Greenland, you go to war with Iran, you go to war with Venezuela, you threaten wars with Cuba, Colombia, you threaten to bomb Mexico, and that’s why they’re protesting there.” — Ben (16:33)
Protester death, state violence, and official White House propaganda:
“Just look at this...Gestapo who are approaching people who are engaged in their First Amendment rights...ICE has invaded their peaceful cities and is harassing and terrorizing people and they’re shooting them in the face…” — Ben (11:53)
On US international reputation and Trump’s worldview:
“America already has multiple defense treaties with Greenland and Denmark...This is just about Donald Trump and MAGA. As they’ve said, they're the predators...they want control, they want to dominate it, they want to destroy NATO.” — Ben (03:44)
RFK Jr. interference and misplaced priorities:
“Dude, who are you, RFK Jr.? You’re the worst health…you’re like the anti-health person, the worst Health and Human Services person in U.S. history. Why you care about Germany?” — Ben (10:53)
On accountability and democracy:
“The American people should, through their representatives, should vote. I mean, that’s what war powers is all about...You don’t have the authority to do this without Congress. I mean, what are we doing here, folks?” — Ben (16:20)
The tone is urgent, scathing, and deeply concerned for the state of democracy, both at home and abroad. The hosts combine clear-eyed analysis with personal outrage, a touch of dark humor, and a persistent call to action. They highlight both the gravity—and the absurdities—of the Trump administration’s choices.
For Listeners:
This episode offers a rapid-fire, unfiltered run-down of late-breaking events, paired with the Meiselas brothers’ direct appeals for awareness and resistance. It’s a must-listen for those tracking the deepening crisis of American democracy and the growing backlash around the globe.
