The Harry Sisson Show - Trump's Term is Collapsing...

Episode Date: January 16, 2026

Harry Sisson breaks down some of the biggest stories of the day surrounding the Trump regime and their many scandals.

All right, folks, look, I'm going to be straight up with you. The past 24 hours in Donald Trump's America has been insane. I mean, it's just disaster to disaster, embarrassment, to embarrassment. It kind of feels like that every single day in Trump's America, but especially today. So instead of making three different videos with three different topics that you have to watch going over these stories, we're going to mesh it into one. We're going to talk about all of it right now. Before I do any of that, make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment.

Let me know what you think about the story. and, well, these multiple stories, I should say, but let's just start here with an ongoing saga. Donald Trump is, of course, very upset that he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize, despite him bombing countries all around the world, invading countries, capturing presidents, flirting with the idea of invading NATO. He's somehow confused as to how he didn't win the prize. And then, of course, we invaded Venezuela, captured Maduro, and there's been struggle for who's going to be the leader of Venezuela. Machado, the opposition leader in Venezuela, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and Donald Trump specifically did not endorse her because she didn't refuse the prize and give it to him. So now she has given it to him and Donald Trump has accepted it. And I'm not joking. This is how much of a child he is. He didn't win the award, so he has to go through a back channel to get it. And if he is not given the award, he won't endorse the right person to lead Venezuela. So Trump has now gleefully seized the Nobel Peace Prize from the real winner. Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Karina Machado said she, quote, presented to Donald Trump, the Nobel Peace Prize she won, and which he is coveted.

Machado, who met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office today, has not received Trump's endorsement to replace Maduro, whom, of course, we captured. But Thursday's gesture may grease the wheels toward that end. We learn from different reporting. That's the only reason Trump hasn't endorsed her. If he did, if he had received the Nobel Peace Prize or she had given it to him, she'd be president of Venezuela right now. but Donald Trump doesn't feel that way. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump was offended by Machado not turning down the award.

The Washington Post reported, and as I just said, quote, if she had turned it down and said, I can't accept it because it's Donald Trump's, she'd be the president of Venezuela. One source told the newspaper, Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 10th. The Nobel Committee cited her longstanding struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy in Venezuela as the reality. reason for her honoring. So things that Donald Trump has never done. I mean, he's never been a champion of democracy, of peace, or anything like that. But, you know, despite, but he wants a Nobel Peace Prize.

You know, the Venezuelan opposition leader was unable to receive the award in person at the ceremony after being forced into hiding by Maduro, who sought to imprison her as a widespread campaign to arrest his political opponents after he lost the election in 2024. She had to have her Mottado's daughter accepted the prize on her behalf instead. Even if Trump indeed has the physical prize in his possession, Machado's move just might be cosmetic. A Nobel Institute spokesperson previously said, quote, a Nobel Peace Prize can neither be revoked nor transferred to others. Once the announcement of the laureates has been made, the decision stands for all time. As for the prize money, the laureates are free to dispose of it as they see fit.

So no matter what, Donald Trump cannot just own the prize. He can have the medal. He can keep it in the Oval Office. It is certainly not his prize, though. I'm sure he's going to go around saying he won it now. And we do have confirmation that Donald Trump will be keeping it, according to a senior White House official. Donald Trump now has been given the medal.

He will be keeping it. And we'll see if his Venezuelan policy change. Maybe he endorses Machado now because the child has been satisfied. He got what he wanted. He threw the temper tantrum in the grocery store, kicked his feet on the ground, was throwing a fit, and was just wearing everybody down, and eventually he got his little prize. He got his toy to play with. In addition to this, another insane story we just got today. We learned that the El Paso Medical Examiner says

it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's detention center, a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a struggle after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications. This is according to the Washington Post. When U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement announced the death of detainee Geraldo Luna's Compos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said staff observed him in distress, and it gave no cause of death, but an employee of El Paso's County Office of the Medical Examiner told his daughter this week that subjects to the results of a toxology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide. And so these ice agents choked him to death.

And there were witnesses who say they saw him get choked to death by these ice agents. And they tried to write it off as, oh, he was struggling. He was in distress. And, you know, we don't have a cause of death. We don't know what happened. Yeah, we do. They killed them. It's being labeled as a homicide.

In the recording which the daughter shared with the Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there is, quote, listing the preliminary cause of death asphyxia due to neck and chest compression, which means Luna's compost did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, our doctors believing that we were going to be listing the manner of death as a homicide. In an interview with the post, a man who says he was detained in the segregation until the day he died, Lunis died, that is, said he saw at least five guards struggling with him after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining he didn't have his medications.

Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Compos and heard Lunas. compost repeatedly saying no Puedo Resperar saying, I can't breathe, which is I can't breathe in Spanish. Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour. And after that, they eventually took his body away. He said, I cannot breathe. I cannot breathe after that. We don't hear his voice anymore. And that's it. Said Flores, who had contacted a family member of the man who was killed. So we have witnesses saying he was killed. You have these medical examiners saying he was killed. This man was murdered by ice. Another one. And the story is not getting a lot of attention, unfortunately, which is why we're talking about it right now. So you have Renee Nicole Good. You have this

gentleman who was killed in an ICE detention facility after being choked to death by ICE agents. They tried to cover it up claiming he was in distress when that couldn't have been further from the truth. I mean, it's insane what is happening in this country right now. In addition to that, we learned of a 21-year-old activist who was shot in the eye by ice and will be blind for life. He said, I will be blind for life. This is during protests. I have fractures in my skull that they can't. I can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous too. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass and plastic behind my eye. And in my skull, they said it was a miracle I survived. Another person almost killed by ice, but will now be blind for life. You can see him there with his eye that was injured. But a piece of plastic, the size of a nickel out of his eye after being shot point blank in the face by an ice agent. If you watch the video, it's completely unjustified. But these ice Ice thugs are walking around masked up, firearms in hands, assaulting protesters, killing people in detention camps.

It is revolting. And the final thing I want to show you among the broader stories we're talking about here is the Atlantic just published an article with a bunch of different photos from protests in Minneapolis. And it's Trump's America. I just, you need to see some of these. Trump's America in front of a church in front of a church in Minneapolis on January 13th. That's yesterday.

about this. People embrace while visiting a makeshift memorial for Renee Good. Donald Trump's America, everybody. High schoolers. High schoolers right here protesting against ICE and Donald Trump. And this photo really caught my eye as especially depressing. It's labeled a family member reacts after a federal immigration officer used a battering ram to break down a door before making an arrest on January 11th, 2026 in Minneapolis. And look at this. Look at the fear in this woman's face. She's a nurse, a doctor, it looks like, by her scrubs. And these guys use a battering ram to bring. break down her door and they're walking in with these huge AR-15s or assault-style rifles and pistols on their their waist as well. This is Trump's America. Our nurses are having

their doors broken in by ice with battering rams. Trump's America. Here's another photo of a man having his driver's side window broken into by ice. Look at this. Look at these photos. I mean, how powerful are they? This is a ice freak screaming at protesters. I mean, I'm just looking at it. It's depressing. And I think this is a really, I think this is a really important photograph right here because it shows that average people are pissed off. This was a resident films as people gathered to confront ICE agents after two people

were detained on January 13th. These are average folks out there. You know, Donald Trump suggests they're paid agitators or paid protesters, whatever he says these days. But these are average folks out there who are pissed off. Seriously. I mean, just look at something. And look, this photo especially, last one I want to show you.

A Border Patrol agent scans the face of a driver as they stop and question him in the streets during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on January 13, 2026. Some people are saying this is Palantir technology, but think about the America we're living in now. People are having their faces scanned by the federal government so they can deport them. I mean, it is insane. Donald Trump's America. You might get stopped and have your face scanned by a Border Patrol agent. You have people dying in ICE attention facilities, people getting shot on the streets by ice agents, people having their faces scanned, and meanwhile, Donald Trump is being a child and being given Nobel Peace Prizes he didn't win. A disaster. So anyway, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching. I just had to talk about all of these insane stories because they are insane.

And as I always say, I greatly appreciate you, and I hope you have an amazing rest of your day.
