What does Ben Meiselas say about Trump’s chaotic morning and the LA National Guard deployment?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
As Donald Trump rage posted away in the evening hours saying, Arrest the people in masks, now, exclamation point, and looking really bad in LA. Bring in the troops, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. He just looks weaker. He just looks more pathetic. And by the way, we at the Midas Touch Network found video of a Trump Town Hall in 2020 with ABC, where Donald Trump admits that he did not and does not have the power to send the National Guard in order to attack communities the way he just did. I'm going to show you that in just one moment. Our researchers found it. But we're seeing memes like this spread everywhere. This from Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell, who says, This meme is everywhere.

Let's be kinder to each other. Making fun of an almost eighty year old falling on the stairs has no place in our politics. Taco fell. And it's a photo of Donald Trump uh falling up these stairs, heading up to Air Force One. We did a whole video on that. It should also be noted. Don't worry, I'm gonna play that video from 2020 in just a moment, but I want to share this with you right now because I think this shows you how equally reprehensible it is. Not only is it unlawful for Donald Trump to uh federalize the national guard in California. And frankly, the order doesn't say it's limited to Los Angeles. It's the entire country is what the order actually says. But sending National Guard troops and potentially the Marines against people living in Los Angeles.

But get this, Donald Trump has also embedded Dr.

How does the 2020 Trump‑Town Hall clip prove he lacks authority to federalize the National Guard?

Ben Meiselas 1:51
Phil, the TV host, Dr. Phil, with ICE agents who are doing the raids so that they can capture this all on a TV show that they are making. The very definition of state regime media. So now let me share with you uh from twenty twenty, this is the town hall with George Stephanopoulos and Donald Trump on ABC. You'll hear Trump say, um, we have to go by the laws, we can't move the National Guard. I can call insurrection, but there's no reason to ever do that, even in the Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor. Let's play that clip right now.

And they have to rescue I promised four years ago at the Democrat at the Republican convention, I'm gonna restore law and order except in Democrat run cities. Look. We have laws. We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection, but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor. If a governor or a mayor is a Democrat and they don't like in Portland, we call them constantly. I just spoke to the governor yesterday because we're giving them relief on the fires. We're giving them a declar an emergency. declaration. I said, Governor, let us go in and we'll clean up Portland so fast. In a half an hour, it'll be all right.

And she's just torn by it. I don't understand the thinking, but they are torn by it.
Ben Meiselas 3:27
Donald Trump admitting. That he is a criminal. You heard it right there. He's admitting that he violated the law. It doesn't get much clearer. Then that folks now does it. You have the clowns in Donald Trump's regime like JD Vance making posts like this. This moment calls for decisive leadership. The president will not tolerate rioting and violence. And it's a repost of Donald Trump saying A once great American city, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by illegal aliens, and it goes on to say, we need to take all such necessary measures to liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion and put down these migrant riots. As Governor Gavin Newsom says, decisive leadership, you didn't even know when your own National Guard was deployed on the ground.
Ben Meiselas 4:20
Stop. Stop fanning the flames for real. Stop fanning the flames. Now someone who's actually sacrificed for our country in various capacities, as a pilot, As an astronaut. As a Senator, Senator Mark Kelly Here's his take on this all. First, Trump arrested a mayor, a member of Congress, and a labor leader. Now he's sending in the National Guard against the advice of local leaders when police are best equipped to ensure safety and prevent violence.
