Transcript of Trump Caught On Tape as His Invasion Declared Illegal
The MeidasTouch PodcastWe have it all on tape. We have the videos, we have the photos, we have the receipts. I'm going to show it to you. Donald Trump unleashing his militarized Gestapo ICE agents across cities and towns in the United States of America. They are utilizing chemical agents against people inside the United States. They are indiscriminately attacking individuals on the street. They are disappearing people to concentration camps. I need to show you what is taking place. And this comes at the same time that a Trump appointed judge in Oregon made a major ruling on Saturday afternoon that Donald Trump was trying to utilize martial law through unconstituted institutional, protectional means to turn the United States into a military state. I think we are already a military state. But to hear a Trump appointed judge from 2019 use the words military state like that, sent chills down my spine, and it should across the entire country and the world. No matter what political party you're from, what I'm about to show you right now, shocks the conscience. It is despicable, but we have to watch it. Please share this with as many people as you can. Here you have Portland ice agents jumping into a brawl to pepper spray a person in a frog costume.
You'll notice that they spray inside the frog costume where the person is able to breathe in order to put the chemical agents into the frog costume. Here, play this clip.
Oh, fuck And just so you can see what was taking place before they put the chemical agents into the frog suit.
Just take a look at this here. Play this clip.
All is that is to know what's being in the middle of traffic. I am on a public property sidewalk. I am not going to be in the middle of traffic. Don't talk to yourself. Don't talk to yourself. I'm not going to be in the middle of Then over here, this is in Chicago yesterday.
They've been using these chemical agents on people in Chicago to try to provoke a reaction. They've been doing this for multiple days now. You probably saw the video I did on Saturday. But here we have ICE agents and military personnel terrorizing peaceful communities in Chicago. You'll see the chemical agents that are used to try to suffocate the people in Chicago. We've heard multiple stories of children who got very sick and others who inhaled these chemical agents here play this clip. That's who you're helping, officer.
Get out of here. We don't want you. We don't watch you. Do something.
That's what you're protecting, officer. Oh, what a good ass. What a good ass. Watch your hands. Watch your hands.
While these peaceful protests were taking place in Chicago, you had Christie Nome as Molly Plufkins explains, posing proudly from a sniper's nest aimed at the protesters. This is what they're doing. It's absolutely despicable. Play this clip.
We're still in a green.
We still have Jake Sheridan, he's been doing incredible work on the ground. Here, he talks about angry crowds have been following and chasing ICE through Chicago. Play this clip.
That's right. He's going to go down here. I. Time to go, baby. Alive. Alive. And again, they're just like, Get out of our towns.
What the hell are you doing here? Here's a person on TikTok, B. S. Creates, someone who was in the area as ICE was apparently shooting people in a Home Depot parking lot in Chicago. Look at the vehicles. You can see right there, just these militarized tanks rolling in. And again, Donald Trump sending the troops, federalizing troops in Illinois. But again, this comes at a time where we got that powerful ruling from the Trump judge in Portland, Oregon. But let's play this clip.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's so scary.
Gregory Royal Pratt posts this next one. This is Tier Gas at 39th, and Kedzie here play this clip.
You go get
Armando Sánchez post as this one.
Here's the current scene, near 39th in Kedzie in Chicago, with a large group of federal agents and protesters after it seemed that the ICE Gestapo agent shot an individual. Here, play this clip. We keep us safe.
Who keeps us safe? We keep us safe. I know everybody wants to join the heat strip, but you got to have a pretty full process, but everybody got to be in the line. Because who keeps us safe? We keep us safe. We keep us safe. We keep us Now, earlier, this was from Friday, ICE deploying tear gas on the crowded public street with two-year-olds and others requiring medical care after this.
Play this clip.
In this next video, you'll see ICE body slamming an armed US citizen to the ground who is just standing on a public sidewalk. Stop. He's not doing anything. The woman filming cries, You're next. The agent threaten her. This happened three blocks away from where a woman was shot by agents during an ICE patrol a couple of hours earlier. The violent takedown in this video occurred near the corner of West 37th and South Kedzie in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago. Here, play this clip.
Step back. Step back. I'm on a public floor. Step back. You're not doing anything. You're seeing that... Whoa, whoa. You're not doing anything. You're not He's not doing anything. He's not doing anything. I'm going to stand right here. He's not doing... I'm going to stand right here. I'm going to stand right here.
I'm going to stand right here.
I'm going to stand right here. He's not doing anything. Let me give you five of your hands.
Let me give you five of your hands. Now, this is the type of videos that ICE is putting out as well from the official Homeland Security Account. They write, Expel criminal illegal aliens, Save America. I'll show you a portion of this commercial. As my friend Sandy Bakum writes, this has to be the same advertising agency that Bukele, the dictator of El Salvador, uses for his prison videos. She goes, I produce commercials my whole career. This is exactly the same template, music, editing, drones. And like the prison video, it was not shot in one night. So this is what ICE is releasing to try to terrorize people across the country. Here, play this clip.
No, no, no. Get out of the way for the ferret's back. Get out of the way for the ferret's back. Get out of the way for the ferret's back. I'm not going to make it clear. More hands. More hands.
You You probably have seen those ads before as well. We talked about yesterday, I showed a video where a Black Hawk helicopter raided an apartment complex in Chicago, and then they separated, they tied up as though they were criminals, even though we're not dealing with... Most of these people weren't criminals there. They had a group of black people in their own area and immigrants in their own, and people who they viewed as migrants just tied up after a Black Hawk helicopter shows up and starts wreaking havoc. I want to give a shout out to the... Robbie Harvey here does an incredible video. This is what's happening in courtrooms across the country right right now. I've showed you what happens in the New York courtroom. But in federal courtrooms, you just have these ICE agents who don't identify themselves. They're just wearing sweatshirts. They wear civilian clothes. They don't show warrants. And then they just pull up to people and then disappear them to concentration camps. Watch this.
Watch this man get detained by ICE. And then in a moment, I'm going to tell you exactly what's going on.
He's going to remain silent. You have no arrest warrant either, so let's go. Let's go. Let's see the arrest warrant then. You don't have a right to let go of him. Hold on. Let go of him. Where's the arrest warrant? You don't have to talk to him. Yes, he's not going to talk to you. He's going to stay quiet. He's not going to say anything. You have no confirmation of anything.
This is the third time pushing on the elevator, go down, and you're preventing us to go downstairs.
You're preventing us. Again, you're blocking the elevator. Third time they were trying to go downstairs. You can go with me. He's coming with me. You have no idea who he is. Let's go. Let's go this way. Again, you're holding him without an arrest warrant. Let's see the arrest warrant, sir. Okay. Let's see the arrest warrant. Let's go. Okay.
Go ahead.
All right, now, all right, we're going to have to Where's the arrest warrant, guys?
I've spoken with people connected to this situation. They tell me that this man is in the country seeking asylum, and he's going through the court process right now. And he's done everything that the United States has asked him to do. He said everything that the courts has asked him to do. And he showed up at the court hearing on this day in good faith, expecting that the United States would treat him fairly and that he would do what is asked of him. Instead, he was tricked. And detained by ICE without, apparently, an arrest warrant.
Let me get this up. Just say, shake your head, yes. Thank you very much. Where are we going?
According to his attorney, they will be fighting this, and they will fight for their client. I'll keep you updated.
Then finally, I want to show you this, that a man who was shot in the head at an ICE detention center in Dallas, his family The family was never notified. They found out because there was a video of him on TikTok describing him being shot. The family didn't have any idea if he was dead or alive for several days. The worst goes through your mind, even more so when you don't have information, said the father. It's something I wouldn't wish upon anybody here. Play this clip.
Revealing his gunshot wounds, this was the first sight. Two parents got of their injured son, one of three men shot at a Dallas ICE facility.. We feel so worried. We're in distress, says his father, who lives in Venezuela. Their son, Jose Andres Bordones, a dad of two, was the only survivor. He says they've received little to no information. Bordones' wife, who also lives in Venezuela, learned he was one of the detainees shot through a TikTok video. The worst goes through your mind, even more so when you don't have information. It's something I wouldn't wish on anyone. He says this is his son, seen running into the facility with bloodied shorts. According to ICE, Bordones was taken to Parkland Health Hospital and released back into ICE custody. He last told his family he was at the Prairiland Detention Center. What's What's going to happen to my son? His dad asks.. First and foremost, he needs medical attention, his dad says. Bordones was grazed on his head and required stitches. They worry His safety while in custody is at risk. Ice arrested Bordones after he was jailed for an alleged traffic offense in Hearst..
Like many, he immigrated for the American dream. Unfortunately, he got a nightmare, his dad says. This father, desperate to see his son heal and return home, says he is begging the US government for help. In Dallas, I'm Adriana Dalba.
Ice tells us that Bordones still faces deportation proceedings. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. I want to give a shout out to all of those citizen journalists and journalists who are doing heroic work out there. I just think it's so critical in this time where our nation is captured by an authoritarian regime that we show you what's going on. Those individuals are the real heroes, too, right now.
