🚨 BREAKING: Trump SMACKED DOWN in EMERGENCY LATE NIGHT HEARING

We got some breaking news here on the. Midas Touch network for those that have. been following it. Judge uh Immergut has. just issued her second temporary. restraining order in favor of the state. of Oregon and California about Donald. Trump's attempts to send now the. California National Guard into Oregon in. full defiance of Judge Imrut's earlier. ruling from Saturday late afternoon in. which she said that Donald Trump did not. have the power or the authority under.

the statute to commandeer and federalize. ize the Oregon National Guard because. the uh the elements that are necessary. in order to do that were missing such as. there's no rebellion going on and he. doesn't need federal troops or the um or. the common dear National Guard troops in. order to execute federal law. Donald. Trump didn't like that and decided to. start sending in 200 or more uh uh. National Guardsmen from California into.

Oregon, which led to a quick unity. between Oregon and California and. joining in a new temporary restraining. order. And within hours, Judge Imrut set. an emergency hearing and ruled from the. bench. And who better to tell us about. this than the attorney general of. California who's joining us here, Rob. Bont, AG Bont, thank you for joining. Might as Touch. >> Grateful to be with you as always. Thanks. >> Yes. So, uh, let's take it from your.

perspective. Uh, this was an Oregon case. until about half a day ago and then it. became a California and Oregon case. Uh, you were on the hearing. It was by phone. uh, mainly. uh tell our audience what. happened today and what Judge Imrut did. and uh and why you think it was correct. >> Yeah, you know, well, it was an Oregon. case until today, though California, you. know, I speaking directly with with uh. AG Rayfield and and my team talking to. them have been very closely um.

communicating with them about what. happened in LA with California since we. were first. uh we've been supporting our. fellow AGs as they face deployments of. National Guard, whether it be DC or or. Oregon. And then today we got, you know, directly brought into the case uh with. uh um 300 federalized California. National Guards people being uh moved um. a thousand miles up up north to Portland. u where a judge had already said. yesterday that the conditions on the. ground absolutely do not justify the.

federalization of National Guard. they. don't justify the the federalization of. Oregon National Guard. And so the. federal government in in its uh. ingenious uh thinking said, "Well, her. order, although it said there were no. conditions to bring the National Guard. to uh Federalized National Guard to. Oregon, applied to the Oregon National. Guard. How about uh we bring in. California National Guard? Maybe that. will work." And she was completely.

miffed. I I I I just uh listened in on. the entire hearing. First of all, thank. you to my incredible team, the. incredible teams in Oregon and Portland. It was a team effort. Uh folks working. overtime. Obviously, today's a Sunday. Um and democracy needs to be protected. every day and the rule of law does as. well. Um and she was really mythed. Her. first set of questions of the federal. government were how does this not. violate my order from yesterday? And uh. I think she's right. you know that this. sort of super technical approach to try.

to bring National Guard in that's from. another uh state and and and just. minutes before the hearing commenced we. got word uh through a memorandum from. Secretary Hegsth that the Texas National. Guard has been federalized 2,000 of them. with 400 of them being deployed to both. Portland and um and Chicago. So, uh, it. is clear that, uh, it it's a sort of. whack-a-ole approach from the federal. government. You stop the Oregon National.

Guard from being federalized, we'll. bring in the California National Guard. You stop the California National Guard. from being brought up north, we'll bring. in the Texas National Guard. You stop. them, uh, we got, you know, who's got. next, uh, you know, we got a bunch of. others we can bring in. So we asked her. uh the judge uh to issue a broad order. that says that applies to every national. guard in every state and the District of. Columbia and that none of them can be. deployed uh can be federalized and. deployed to uh or Oregon and she issued.

that order from the bench. Uh she's. going to back it up with a written order. as well. But she was concerned based on. the behavior of the federal government. uh about what the scope of her order. should be and believed and I agree uh uh. that a broad uh order uh that is broad. in scope is appropriate. So um the. conditions have not changed in 24 hours. Uh National Guard being deployed in. Oregon was unlawful yesterday. It's. unlawful today as well. It doesn't. matter where the National Guard comes. from whether they're Oregon's National. Guard or California's or Texas's Guard.

And so I think the judge nailed it. Um. the Trump appointed judge uh nailed it. and looked at the facts, looked at the. law, issued an order um expeditiously. and um uh appropriately stopped Trump. from this unlawful conduct. >> And uh thank you, Ag Bont. And and what. we've known from the past is there were. about seven red states that sent their. National Guard into DC. And I'm sure. this is the same group that Donald Trump. is trying to cycle through to try to. find a I don't even think he's trying to.

do find a loophole. I think he's just. openly defiant of Judge Immut. It sounds. like she might she thinks that might. have happened as well. Just to frame the. issue, we have a judge who, yes, was. appointed back in the uh the uh first. term of Donald Trump, but he's already. blaming whoever the people were, you. know, at the Federalist Society or. Leonard Leo or whoever led him astray. because he doesn't like her particular. rulings. Um, and she framed the issue in.

her order on Saturday so perfectly. Uh, in my to my audience, I said, "It's 31. pages, but you really just need to read. the first paragraph." And, uh, one of. her last paragraphs to understand it. In. her first paragraph for for our. audience, she said on on Saturday, and. this, like you said, it it was illegal. then and it's illegal now. She said, "This case involves the intersection of. three of the most fundamental principles. in our constitutional democracy. The. first concerns the relationship between.

the federal government and the states. The second concerns the relationship. between the United States armed forces. and domestic law enforcement. And the. third concerns the proper role of the. judicial branch in ensuring that the. executive branch complies with the laws. and limitations imposed by the. legislative branch. whether we choose to. follow what the Constitution mandates. with respect to these three. relationships goes to the heart of what. it means to live under the rule of law. in the United States. And then she ended.

it this way, and I'm sure this is sort. of the animating force in uh in her. decision-m. She said at the end of her. order on page 30 from Saturday, "This. country has a long-standing and. foundational tradition of resistance to. government overreach, especially in the. form of military intrusion into civil. affairs." uh quoting from uh James. Madison uh addressed to the. constitutional convention, "A standing. military force with an overgrown.

executive, well, we've got an overgrown. executive, will not long be safe. companions to liberty. The means of. defense against foreign danger have been. always the instruments of tyranny at. home. This historical tradition boils. down to a simple proposition. This is a. nation of constitutional law, not. martial law. Defendants have made a. range of arguments that if accepted risk. blurring the line between civil and. military federal power to the detriment. of this nation. That's the judge, right?

>> She nails it. She. >> She nails it. >> She knows what's at stake. She knows. what the issues are here. Um you know, this Trump appointed judge is doing her. duty. She's following the facts, following the law. Let them uh chips. fall where they may. you apply the the. law to the facts and make decisions um. not influenced by ideology, political. ideology or um you know who the. president is or who appointed you. She's. doing what what her job is. >> What was the department? I didn't mean. to interrupt you. Sorry about that. Sorry. >> What what what was the response? I mean,

we always like to know our opponent. What was the response? And what's the. government's position as to why they. believe in good faith they could send in. California, Texas, or any other national. card given her earlier ruling? What did. they say? >> I didn't envy the uh the federal. attorney trying to defend this conduct. And honestly, he was having a hard time. And you know, he had his arguments. though and and but the judge was pushing. and she was not happy and she was. saying, "You are an officer of the.

court, sir, and tell me why this doesn't. violate my order from yesterday." and. his argument was that this is not the. Oregon National Guard. That's what your. order yesterday applied to. This is the. California National Guard. They've. already been um federalized and they're. just being repositioned. uh from uh Los Angeles and California to. to Portland. And she was having none of. that and you know not not buying any of. that hyper technical approach. she was.

getting to the substance and she and I. think she was likely offended though she. didn't show it. She was very. professional and had uh outstanding. demeanor um by by this effort to end run. uh or just violate blatantly her order. from yesterday. >> And such a weird I mean look we you and. I don't have enough time on planet Earth. to figure out the minations of the Trump. administration or their strategy or lack. thereof. But everything reports up in. these cases to the same Ninth Circuit.

Court of Appeals. And I I I I would. think they're doc it strengthens your. hand certainly in the California Ninth. Circuit case to see how Donald Trump has. interpreted unique set of facts that he. was able to at one time convince the. Ninth Circuit about now trying to take. them on the road to to go to any state. that he that he says, "Well, I I'm. having trouble uh enforcing the law. Let. me just take it." I don't think that's. what the Ninth Circuit three judge panel. had in mind. Do you?

>> I don't. And look, this um on August. 8th, Trump uh deployed 300 National. Guard for 90 days longer in in in Los. Angeles, arguing that they are necessary. and essential to enforce the federal. laws um and to keep people safe. And. then today he's like, nah, maybe I'll. send all of them to Portland. They don't. need to be in LA. So, so it it. completely undercuts his position uh in. in our case in LA and we're going to.

make that known to the court that these. federal uh federalized National Guard. are so essential and so necessary to. keep the the peace and keep public. safety that they were all sent away a. thousand miles away to to another to. another uh. >> gift. You were given a gift AG B. I mean it it is deplorable what happened. and we are going to let the court know. uh how it impacts uh you know the case. that we have as. >> I like the fact that Immergut Judge. Immergut in her Saturday order actually.

tipped her hat to your judge in. California Judge Brier and said I like. what the district court judge did about. how you spot a rebellion. I think those. I think so so once I saw that I all. right because you know he's he's taken a. little bit of heat uh because he didn't. get the entirety of his injunctions. upheld at least for now uh although the. posi commatatus one is still right there. the more I learned and maybe you knew.

about her from her prior experience even. in California she has a very interesting. body of work that's unique among federal. judges she had been a federal prosecutor. in LA I. She was a US attorney in Portland. She. was a district attorney in the county in. which Portland is in. She worked at. Vermont for a couple of years. She's a. person that worked very closely with law. enforcement and knows law enforcement. well, especially in Portland and lives. and works in Portland. And this whole.

Portland is war torn and is a wealth, >> right? War ravaged. We must send the. military. as she's sitting drinking her. her her local, you know, brewed coffee, like where where is this? >> Someone show me it immediately because I. don't see it anywhere and I'm here in. Portland. >> So, you know, when Judge Simon gave up. the case after I assume Trump's lawyers. made some sort of argument that made him. uncomfortable because his wife is a.

congresswoman from Portland. We were. like, who did it rotate to? But once I. did more exploration of her background, you've got a you know, you've got a. great judge for this. >> We we I thought she did a great job and. you know, tons of credit to her. Um I'm. sure she's I I hope she's not I hope. this isn't true going to get political. pressure from the right from uh from. MAGA world um mag world and from Trump. and his people. But she is a true public. servant who believes in the law, who. believe who knows what law enforcement. is, has worked uh with it and for it and.

and you know is is not going to get. pulled into these these these silly um. ideological fights and these um you know. uh depictions of what's happening on the. ground that are only a figment of the. imagination of Donald Trump that he. posts on Truth Social when he says it's. war torn. And she I mean she pointed out. very uh um specifically that Trump's. determination uh to deploy the guard. based on the facts on the ground was. untethered from the ground. >> Tethered to reality.

>> So I like that word. It was untethered. >> She uh and she may get pressure. Look, as you and I are on the air, we got a. house that's burned to the ground in. South Carolina of a judge. Yeah. Really. terrible, terrible things are happening. here in terms of political violence. But. I think uh uh you know she's a a very. like you said she's a dedicated public. servant. Her entire body of work leading. to this case says that she's the perfect. judge to handle a matter like this even. though Donald Trump is already attacking. her and bemoning it. Uh so is is the my.

understanding is I know you asked in the. alternative either a new TTRO or ex uh. modify your old one. She went with the. new one. Was that do you think because. the other side was arguing that since. the appeal was up with the ninth somehow. she was divested of jurisdiction? >> I don't think she thought she was. divested of jurisdiction. Though she did. ask this question, what if the appeal um. to the ninth circuit on uh yesterday's. TTRO, you know, the first TTRO is is is.

is granted and and and the TTRO is. overturned. Would that affect today's. TTRO should she issue one? she was kind. of thinking out loud and asking the. attorneys their their input. And uh I. think the the attorneys from California. and Oregon made it very clear that uh. today's a separate TTRO on a on a. separate issue with a a separate. movement of of National Guard and uh. whatever the court does in the first TRO. shouldn't affect the TTRO today. So um. and and she was broad in her scope.

today. And so we have two very powerful. and poignant TTRO but she she did. connect them. I think she's going to. incorporate by reference in the TTRO. that she's issued today the rationale. and and the factual um um recitation in. her. >> yeah the same 31page underpin the quote. that I read applies to what the analysis. that she just did here and uh and then. Donald Trump can you know ask for his. stays from whatever courts he wants to. ask and file his appeals and you'll. follow this to the ends of the earth but.

for right now. >> uh so I guess the question is right now. Where are these two or 300 uh California. National Guards people? Where are they? >> We think that a h 100red are already on. the ground in Portland and um they were. in and around the LA area um and then. another hundred will be there by tonight. and the final um uh group of 100 will. arrive by tomorrow. >> I mean, are you expecting them to to. comply now with the second TTRO and get. them off the street?

>> I I do. I I I mean they shouldn't be um. performing any uh official duties. So I. don't know if they're going to be put on. ice somewhere uh you know just uh. staying in the background and and um not. conducting any official activity or if. they're going to be uh sent back to. California. Um whatever it is, they need. to comply with the court order and they. are they cannot be deployed to engage in. um you know any official duties in in in. Portland. a fastmoving story, but we're.

so fortunate to have the attorney. general for California, Rob Bont, join. the Midas Touch Network to give us the. update about the case from basically. within the courtroom. Uh we'll continue. to follow it. This is a fastmoving. story. Uh it's got a lot of moving parts. now, but we've got two temporary. restraining orders. There has not been a. stay that's been issued about either one. of them, although appeals have been. filed and we'll see what happens on the. ground here and and throughout and we'll. post this order and the orders that we.

have on the legal AF Substack so that. our audience can read it for themselves. AG Bont always a pleasure to have you. here.
