Chapter 1: What recent actions has Donald Trump taken regarding immigration?

0.149 - 28.911 Ben Meiselas

Complete and utter weakness, complete and utter lunacy. The Trump regime is an utter mess. As protests continued today, the 50-51 protests spreading once again across the nation. Donald Trump began yesterday by posting memes and posting altered images of the New York Times cover that talks about Abrego Garcia.

29.291 - 45.675 Ben Meiselas

And Donald Trump's like, we're never going to return him, despite a nine to zero ruling from the Supreme Court saying facilitate the return of the migrant who you kidnapped and threw in an extermination camp in El Salvador without due process. And as the day progressed,

46.235 - 75.423 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump continued to try to project the image of a strong man because he knows deep down inside how weak he is and how the whole world views him as a pathetic fool. Donald Trump posted this yesterday. It's a interview of him on Fox. And this is Trump's recap of it. Trump on Fox. We didn't need legislation. We need a president. In other words, what he's saying is we don't need due process.

75.544 - 97.204 Ben Meiselas

We need a dictator. We don't need laws. We need a dictator. If you look at this and you're okay with him posting this, then let's just face it. You hate America. You don't like democracy. You don't like law and order. You don't like our system. Perhaps you'd like to live in Russia. More on that in a moment.

97.664 - 127.573 Ben Meiselas

And as the day winded down yesterday, Donald Trump started posting torture videos, ISIS-style torture videos of Americans handing off migrants to the government of El Salvador to be tortured in extermination camps. And Trump posted video after video of that. Again, Donald Trump giving the middle finger. to the federal courts, and to the United States Supreme Court.

127.633 - 148.701 Ben Meiselas

But Donald, you're not fooling people. If you want to take a look at the latest Atlas Intel poll, they were one of the, if not the, best pollster in 2024 on all of the issues Donald Trump's underwater in the Atlas Intel poll, meaning Americans disapprove of him on immigration, negative six.

149.401 - 171.284 Ben Meiselas

And as you start asking questions, not just about deportation and strong borders in general, which most people support as an abstract theory, but taking people without due process, sending them to prisons or concentration camps in other countries, those are not favored at all by wide margins by the American people. But Trump's negative six on immigration is

171.664 - 196.94 Ben Meiselas

Negative 14 on the economy, negative 12 on democracy, negative 17 on health care, negative 8 when it comes to dealing with China. China is just making a total buffoon of Donald Trump, but that's not that hard because that's who Donald Trump is. Remember Donald Trump's promises, though? I said I would talk about Russia on day one, that there would be peace in Ukraine in 24 hours.

196.98 - 218.913 Ben Meiselas

He said it would be so easy. That he knows Zelensky and he knows Putin and it would be very easy to bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours. Well, yesterday we learned a few things. First, the U.S. basically proposed a plan that gives all of the territory that Russia's taken over in Ukraine. to Russia, a total capitulation would be part of Donald Trump's plan.

Chapter 2: How is Trump defying Supreme Court rulings on migrant treatment?

603.379 - 627.135 Ben Meiselas

And so perhaps the least surprising news of this all, Alex Eisenstadt, I think he's a good writer. He got the scoop. Scoop, Trump revamped Schedule F, making it easier to cut federal workers. And it talks about how, this is what we talked about, right, with Project 2025. They were going to recharacterize the workers so that they're all at-will employees. That's what Schedule F is. But

628.015 - 651.837 Ben Meiselas

Look, while that is serious, at this point, Trump's gutted the federal government. I mean, he's fired so many people. He's destroyed the ability of agencies to function. From the National Oceanic Institute's work to the Forest Services to NIH and CDC. You've got RFK Jr. giving these speeches online.

652.498 - 676.39 Ben Meiselas

and saying the most horrific things about autistic people, and saying that people who are older don't have autism, and it's only in younger people, and just spreading all of these medical lies and disinformation. You know, it is a kakistocracy, which means a regime staffed by the worst of the worst. That's what it is now. But folks, I do feel hope within all of this. I feel hope when I see...

677.59 - 699.628 Ben Meiselas

Senators like Van Hollen going and speaking with Abrego Garcia, standing up to the Trump regime. I feel hope when there's protests like the protest today. After this video, I'm going to do a whole other video on the protest where I'm just going to focus on the protest today. I know it's important that we cover that here. I feel that the Trump regime looks weaker.

700.128 - 721.056 Ben Meiselas

They're unable to implement a lot of their agenda. They're good at breaking things. They're bad at building things. And I think the rest of the world knows how to counter it and check it. I mean, I'll do a whole other video on Canada as well. I think Canada's cornered the Trump regime. Europe is, you know, and they recognize that Donald Trump's an extortionist. And he's a felon.

721.076 - 739.202 Ben Meiselas

He's a sexual abuser. He's a predator, right? I mean, extortionists like him. If you give him an inch, he takes more. So they come back to you again. They hit you up more extortionists. So you just, you can't negotiate with extortionists. Anyway, that's where we're at today. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe and let's get to 5 million subscribers. We've got a lot of videos today.
