Ben Meiselas 0:13
You see those crowds, Donald? They're not here to cheer you. They're here to fight you. They're here to fight your authoritarian regime. 36,000 people, Donald, who gathered in Los Angeles as part of Senator Bernie Sanders' Fight the Oligarchy tour that he did with AOC and others. We did a whole video covering it last night, and we streamed it live here on the Midas Touch Network.

What was Donald Trump doing while the rallies were happening?

Ben Meiselas 0:39
People are ready to fight your oligarchical kleptocracy regime. This is what Donald Trump was doing yesterday. Not making this up. He was posing for photos in front of a new gold statue of himself at his golf course while he was vacationing at the taxpayer dime. Here he is with a new golden statue at his golf course. shaking hands with donors and other people and billionaires and rich folk laughing at the people laughing as they disappear. Migrants in the United States to concentration camps in El Salvador and then violate court orders. Here's Donald Trump golfing. Oh, by the way, last night, then Donald Trump went to a UFC fight. Here he is walking into the UFC fight, by the way, just totally ignoring the,
Ben Meiselas 1:36
The wife of RFK Jr., Cheryl Hines, right there. Good for her. But earlier in the day, while Donald Trump, I know he was very busy posing in front of gold statutes of himself, like what in the Kim Jong-un is that? What in the Saddam Hussein is that? What are we talking about?

How is Donald Trump’s behavior compared to authoritarian regimes?

Ben Meiselas 1:51
talking about here while they crashed the economy while people's pensions are destroyed and gutted life savings are being erased while Donald Trump and his oligarchs manipulate the market and say now is a good time to buy and we see rampant insider trading he goes back to Florida on our money on taxpayer money and takes freaking photos in front of gold statues of himself while he grifts off of us are you kidding me How could you possibly be OK with that unless you were just an absolute death cult member? Go live in North Korea if you like that crap. That's not what our Constitution is about here in the United States. And we're going to fight like hell every day in the Midas Touch Network to make sure that that is something that our future generations don't have to ever deal with.
Ben Meiselas 2:43
We'll work every day for that. Yeah. So while Donald Trump was doing all of that, by the way, he violated the Supreme Court's order and a district court's order after the Supreme Court in the nine to zero decision ordered Abrego Garcia to be returned. Remember, nine to zero.

What was the Supreme Court's ruling on Abrego Garcia’s case?

Ben Meiselas 3:00
They said Trump regime facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia forthwith, to which the district judge of Maryland, Judge Zennis, held a hearing and said, OK, when are you returning Abrego Garcia? File papers. by 5 p.m. on Saturday and let me know what the heck is going on. The Trump regime blew the deadline because, of course, Donald Trump was too busy posing for photos in front of gold statues. And then when they finally submitted a declaration yesterday, they wrote they had someone from the State Department write the following. It is my understanding based on official reporting from our embassy in San Salvador that Abrego Garcia is currently being held in the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador. He is alive and secure in that facility.

How did the Trump regime respond to the court order on Abrego Garcia?

Ben Meiselas 3:49
He is detained pursuant to the sovereign domestic authority of El Salvador. Well, you filed that late. Two, this is hearsay because you clearly don't have personal knowledge. You're saying based on official reporting from the embassy, then someone from the embassy should write this declaration if you don't have firsthand knowledge. That's called hearsay, by the way.

What is the controversy surrounding the detention of migrants in El Salvador?

Ben Meiselas 4:09
And also what Judge Zinnis put in her order was here was what was supposed to be filed. One, the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia. Two, what steps, if any, defendants have taken to facilitate his immediate return to the United States. and three what additional steps defendants will take and when to facilitate his return a follow-up person in hearing a follow-up hearing will take place on tuesday and you see what the trump regime didn't respond to what are you doing to return him and what steps need to be taken to return him because the supreme court ruled nine to zero facilitate his return so when i read that filing
