This weekend, 7 million Americans marched in over 2,700 cities under one banner. The banner is No Kings, and it has shaken Trump and MAGA to their core.
It wasn’t fringe, it wasn’t violent—it was massive, peaceful, and impossible to ignore, which is exactly why MAGA tried to discredit it before it happened. Trump allies said no one would show up and it would be chaos. Instead, it was organized, united, and growing. The size alone was enough to rattle the right.
What really broke Trump was the message: we don’t like you. His ego runs on adoration, and this was a national, in-person rejection. How did he respond? By posting unhinged AI videos of himself bombing my friend Harry Sisson with feces—I’m not kidding—and crowning himself the king. It was a meltdown.
We are going to break it all down, including the scale and the impact of the protests. What happens next? Fox News calling Democrats terrorists, and also the quiet rise of MAGA power broker Katherine Boyle, whom I believe is one of the most dangerous MAGA figures you’ve probably never heard of.
We’re also going to look at some of the signs, unfortunately, that the United States is sliding into failed-state territory. This moment is really not about left versus right. This is about pushing back before power becomes permanent, authoritarian power. The people sent a message: this country does not belong to kings. And that’s where we will start.
