The crowd sizes, the speeches, this is what Donald Trump feared the most. The No Kings protests, even bigger than expected. We're waiting for a final tally, but it is tens of millions of people. The biggest day of mass mobilization in the history of the United States. And these speeches that took place in Washington DC and across the country in front of massive crowds. It's what Donald Trump feared the most, excoriating, peaceful protests. I want to show you what was going down. Senator Bernie Sanders gave a particularly riveting speech. And here's the moment where he said, everybody remember this date, October 18th, 2025, the day that America had the biggest mass mobilization, peaceful protests in our history.
Here, play this clip.
October 18th, 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history.
And just so we bring the receipts, because you know that's what we do at Midas Touch, and I'm going to show you more of these incredible speeches. Let me show you Boston. Play the clip.
Look at this. Millions of people across the country marching as we speak against the policies of President Trump. This is Boston. Look at that. We'll continue to follow these rallies throughout the day here on MSNBC. Wow. All right, coming up.
All right, let me show you Chicago. You'll hear their mayor, Brandon Johnson, firing up the crowd in the background. Here's Chicago. Let's play it.
I know what it's like to come home when you are five years old and your dad is not there. And I am still standing.
Well, are you all ready to defend this democracy? Are you ready to fight fascism? Are you prepared to destroy authoritarianism once and for all? Well, let the world hear you. No keys.
Okay, let's talk about New York City. Play this clip.
And let me show you what the scene looked like in Washington, D.C. Just for scale and scope, let's play the clip right here.
All right, back to the speeches. Senator Bernie Sanders right here says, look. Hey, Republican colleagues, I know you're taking yet another vacation. I've got a message for you. Here, play this clip.
So today, right now, I say to my Republican colleagues, come back from your month-long vacation. Start negotiating and do not allow the American healthcare system to be destroyed. End this shutdown.
Then we heard from Senator Murphy, who says, can you handle the truth? Let's play this clip.
Now, recently, when I gave this warning that we are in the middle of that totalitarian takeover, one of my colleagues said, well, you know, be careful. You don't want to scare people, but you guys can handle the truth, right? You guys deserve the truth, right? The truth is that Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America. The truth is that he is enacting a detailed step-by-step plan to try to destroy all of the things that protect our democracy, free speech, fair elections, and independent press, the right to peacefully protest. But the truth is also this. He has not won yet. The people still rule in this country. And today, all across America, in numbers that may eclipse any day of protest in our nation's history, Americans are saying loudly and proudly that we are a free people.
We are not a people that can be ruled. Our government is not for sale.
No keys! No keys!
No!
Mehdi Hassan gave a great speech. Perhaps my favorite speech was Mehdi Hassan's speech, to be honest, though they were all very, very good. And Senator Sanders and Murphy's speech was really good. He said, look, I'm not going to sit back while this country is taken over by some dude in Home Alone, some failed business person, some sexual abuser, some felon. Here, play this clip.
I'm here because I love this country. I love America. I love the First Amendment. I love our democracy. I love our diversity. Yes, our diversity. And I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial, multicultural, democratic experiment, our constitutional republic destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.
