Americans are fed up. The hands off protests on Saturday took the nation by storm. Thousands of protests in cities and towns in states across the United States of America and internationally as well. Millions of people in the aggregate were out there protesting in different cities. We saw hundreds of thousands of people, and these numbers are only going to grow as we head into democracy summer.
Now, the Midas Touch Network was there broadcasting all of it. We partnered with MoveOn and some of the other grassroots organizations who were leading the protests. What you saw at the beginning of this video was part of our coverage. That was from the New York protests. What I want to do now on this video is highlight some of the protests that were taking place across the country and the world.
I also want to share with you what our correspondent Aaron Parnas was seeing on the ground in Washington, D.C., as he was interviewing some of the top Democratic leaders for the Midas Touch Network. All right, let's take a look at Boston where there were over 100,000 people protesting. I want to show you what that scene looked like. Let's play it.
Thank you for being part of the resistance.
Now I want to show you the massive, massive protest that was taking place in downtown Chicago as part of the Hands Off movement. Let's play the clip.
Now, just so you see here as well, and credit to Marco Foster for putting a lot of these together and aggregating it from groups like Our Revolution, this is an aerial view of the massive protest taking place in New York City yesterday as part of the hands-off rally against Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Just look at how massive it actually was in size. Play this clip.
And here is the massive crowd that continued to grow yesterday at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for the hands-off rally against Musk and Trump. Let's play the clip. We had Midas Touch correspondent and TikTok superstar Aaron Parnas in Washington, D.C., embedded in the protests yesterday. Here's what he had to say earlier on as the numbers continued to grow.
When he was there, it was 50,000, 100,000. I think the full count in D.C. is going to be significantly higher, but this was yesterday when Parnas was there. Let's play it.
