Watch the moment Ben Leo stumps anti-Trump protester live from Washington DC

"There's, I reckon, about 1,000 people here today protesting Trump. So one of the flyers here says Trump must go now," Ben recounted to Martin.

The flyer in Ben's hand further detailed that the group must "drive the Trump fascist regime from power".

Speaking at the protest, Ben asked an anti-Trump demonstrator what the purpose of the DC rally was.

"It's a kickoff to get massive participation in the movement to oust the Trump regime and to fill this city with people and to try to stop one-off protests," the demonstrator responded.

"It's to have people stay here and keep on coming out day after day after day to create a huge presence here."

"So you want Trump out of power?" Ben asked - to which the demonstrator declared: "Definitely."

The protester also detailed "a number of ways" to accost the so-called ousting, including applying pressure on political parties "to do the right thing".

They added: "Popular opinion is important too. And if we had millions of people in Washington DC, clogging up the city and bringing business to a close, it would put pressure on the whole administration. And I think that's our goal."

But Ben pushed harder on what the protester meant by what the ousting would look like in practice, whether they would seek an election or simply "overthrow the administration", as Ben noted another demonstrator was calling for.

"I mean, talking of fascism, that sounds pretty fascist," he pointed out.

"Well, we're not talking about overthrowing. We're talking about ousting the Trump administration as not being representative of any American values whatsoever," Eldridge repeated.

"This leaflet here is all about fascism, calling Trump a fascist. Is the definition of fascism not a single party state?" Ben asked.

The demonstrator went on to claim that the US President is "wanting the state to be the Trump party" and he wants it to become a single party state, insisting that he is "using the army and military as his own".

However, the GB News star was quick to point out the recent Democrat success in New York and Virginia, with "communist" Zohran Mamdani snapping up the Big Apple's mayoralty last night.

"So you got two parties. How is that fascism?" Ben asked again.

"I think that we shouldn't be too sanguine about things just because the Democrats happen to win some governorships in different states," Eldridge said.

"So it's not a one party state?" Ben asked.

"Right now, it's still a two party state," the protester admitted.

"So it's not fascism?" the presenter quizzed a second time.

Eldridge said: "Their goal is to eliminate the competition. Their goal, I believe, is to eliminate all the parties.

"And I think [Donald Trump] shown that he's willing to flout the rule of law. He's willing to have masked agents dropping out of helicopters and erasing the whole and arresting the whole population in the building."

As Ben spoke to Martin after the conversation, he said: "Interesting premise. They call him a fascist. They call him a dictator. But the primary definition of fascism is a single party state.

"And it was only last night that the Democrat won in New York. The Dems had big election success in Virginia as well. So have you criticism of Trump all you like, but when you use language such as fascism, I don't know. It doesn't really make sense to me.

Chuckling, Martin said: "I don't know what's in that guy's flask, but if I were you, I'd stay away from it!"
