Chapter 1: Who is leading the rallies against Donald Trump and why?
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.
Chapter 2: What was Donald Trump doing while the rallies were happening?
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,
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?
Chapter 3: How is Donald Trump’s behavior compared to authoritarian regimes?
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.
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.
Chapter 4: What legal issues is Donald Trump facing regarding Abrego Garcia?
Chapter 5: What was the Supreme Court's ruling on Abrego Garcia’s case?
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.
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.
Chapter 6: How did the Trump regime respond to the court order on Abrego Garcia?
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.
Chapter 7: What is the controversy surrounding the detention of migrants in El Salvador?
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
by the trump regime secretary uh state department person michael kozak i said oh i see what they're doing right here they're going to say sovereign authority of el salvador nothing we can do to facilitate it anymore then sure enough what does donald trump post the following looking forward to seeing president bukele naibu kelly the authoritarian leader of el salvador on monday
Our nations are working closely together to eradicate terrorist organizations and build a future of prosperity. Bukele has graciously accepted into his nation's custody some of the most violent alien enemies of the world, and in particular, the United States.
These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign nation, and their future is up to President Bukele and his government. They will never threaten or menace our citizens again, exclamation point. Let's be very clear. 75% of the individuals who you disappeared to this concentration camp in El Salvador do not have any criminal records in the United States.
or in their home country. Some of them weren't even from El Salvador in the first place. Lots of these people were in the United States lawfully. They were asylum seekers. They submitted applications. The Trump judge, for example, in 2019, a Trump immigration judge, as it relates to Abrego Garcia, the Trump judge gave Abrego Garcia in 2019 protected status.
There's no criminal record that this individual...
has there's no there's no any allegations that this guy is or proven allegations that this guy is a gang member and this is an individual who showed up to ice checked in and then was sent to a concentration camp in el salvador by the way bukele is in washington dc or he's in flaw wherever he landed right now we have photos of him landing that he posted on his social media and there donald trump is saying you can see trump saying they're barbarians
