Any kind of formal organizations that you're thinking about starting? With these Republicans that you're talking about, is there going to be some sort of group that's going to be working towards those goals, Democrats, Republicans, to try to...

And look, you mentioned all of these accomplishments that you just listed, and you focused on bottom-up, middle-out economics to help workers. Infrastructure Act, Inflation Reduction Act created over 16 million jobs more than any president.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
President Biden EXCLUSIVE Interview with MeidasTouch
But here's the thing, though, and I really want to get your insight on some union leaders and even some kind of rank and file workers ended up voting for the other guy with all of the benefits you delivered. How do you square that?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
President Biden EXCLUSIVE Interview with MeidasTouch
What are you going to do when the other guy goes out there bragging about accomplishments under you? The Medicare $2,000 cap is going to kick in in 2025. He's going to be out there saying, I did this. How is that going to make you feel when that happens?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
President Biden EXCLUSIVE Interview with MeidasTouch
Let's talk about foreign policy. Our NATO allies, what are they saying to you right now? You know, Trump's out there threatening allies. Mexico is threatening Canada with tariffs.

You're going to be at the inauguration?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
President Biden EXCLUSIVE Interview with MeidasTouch
That's what I want to talk about, because he obviously did not make the transition easy for you would be putting it as delicately as I can. You've made the transition smooth. You've invited him to the White House. How do you square that with his rhetoric, what he's done, what he's threatened, to invite him here, sit him in the Oval, smile? How do you do that and why?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
President Biden EXCLUSIVE Interview with MeidasTouch
Let's talk about the media coverage of your presidency. We talked about all of these accomplishments, but very rarely did you turn on the TV and hear about 16 million jobs. Very rarely did you hear about the Biden stock market up 50% from Trump. You weren't out there bragging about your stock market. I mean, the other guy would be doing that every day. Yours was up 50%, 55%.
The MeidasTouch Podcast

What's your overall view of, I think, the media coverage? Do you think there's anything you could have done differently in interacting with them? What's your overall perspective on that? Were they too busy covering the horse race of politics?

BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
This is the state of the MAGA Republican Party right now. You have MAGA Republican Congresswoman of South Carolina, Nancy Mace apparently faking being attacked by a trans activist who turns out not to be a trans activist, but a foster care youth activist who simply shook Nancy Mace's hand. And then she exaggerated being injured by a handshake.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
and then proceeded to go on social media and claim that she was physically assaulted by a trans man activist. And it seems that she then went on her burner accounts to engage with her own pity party over an event that really didn't occur. According to witnesses, can you really get more pathetic than this? I guess you can with MAGA, but let's just break it down.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
So over the past few weeks, MAGA Republican Nancy Mace has been going on Fox and all the right-wing news networks. Her whole thing right now is because there is a Democratic trans woman, Congresswoman, who's now in the House of Representatives from the at-large District of Delaware, Nancy Mace, over and over again. I mean, I'm talking quite literally hundreds of posts a day.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
attacking transgender people, attacking her transgender colleague in the most discriminatory of terms over and over again. And by the way, three years ago, MAGA Republican Nancy Mace was a completely different person. And she made public statements supporting the LGBTQ communities, supporting transgender people. But now she sees this as a culture war issue ticket for her to get on Fox. Also,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Her South Carolina congressional district was gerrymandered. So it's pretty much comprised mostly of MAGA people right now, and it became less moderate. So she just changed her personality like 100%. Let's take a look at some of these headlines right here, and let me break this all down for you. So here's the headline.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
This Republican representative may have lied about trans activist attacking her. Can you think of any more MAGA headline than that? I don't know. Maybe Donald Trump says that Mexico should be 51st state as well as Canada. Anyway, here's what we posted on the Midas Touch Network as we were looking at her post. It was post, post, post, post, post. Oh, and then by the way,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
She then started to wear like a cast and like a sling and acted like her arm was broken. We'll get to that in a second. This is what we wrote on the Midas Touch Network. When you forget to switch off your burner account. So Nancy Mace keeps saying, yes. I was physically accosted tonight. More to come. Hashtag hold the line. And then it goes, oh no, what happened?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
And then Nancy Mace responds, a pro-trans guy out of Illinois assaulted her. Assaulted her? You mean assaulted you? Forgot that you weren't on your burner count and you were on your official congressional count? There's a lot more of these like this one. Yes, I was physically accosted tonight. More to come. You okay? She's in pain. That's what Nancy Mace is saying about herself.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
She's in pain, but she will survive as she always does. And she's not well right now. I mean, this is some bizarre stuff. Nancy Mace previously posted, I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-trans man. pro-trans man, one new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it'll heal just fine. The Capitol Police arrested the guy.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Your trans violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. F around and find out. Hashtag hold the line. She got this guy who shook her hand who, again, is not even a trans activist. He's just a foster care youth activist named James McIntyre. He simply said, hey, it would be nice if you respected the trans community more. And then she went, ow, ow, you heard me. You broke my arm.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Oh, no. And then she had the Capitol Police arrest him. And then all of the corporate media were doing these stories on violence against members of Congress. By the way, there's real violence taking place against members of Congress, mostly MAGA people against Democratic Congress members. But there's also violence. Marjorie Taylor Greene's been targeted before. Violence is never the answer.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Let me be very clear, regardless of political party. But faking this crap is some real serious, serious, it's a real serious problem. Here's what we wrote about on MidasPlus.com. Our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, put it thus. Witnesses are now disputing Nancy Mace's claim that she was physically assaulted at a foster care event in the House of Representatives.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Several say that longtime foster care advocate James McIntyre, who Mace had arrested by Capitol Police for assaulting her, simply shook her hand. The imprint is a magazine or newspaper which covers foster care events, interviewed witness Elliot Hinkle and others.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Quote, from what I saw, it was a normal handshake, an interaction that I would expect any legislator to expect from anyone as a constituent. Nancy Mace alleges that she was assaulted by a trans activist. For some reason, the drama never ends with Mace. She said that Trump called to check on her. I'm going to be just fine as soon as the pain and soreness subsides.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
She walked into Congress in an arm sling, looking like she just did three tours in Iraq. More from Mace, quote, I never want to hear the left call themselves the party of love and tolerance again. And then we get the police report. There are police reports.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
And as it turns out, the most that happened, according to the police report, if you accept Nancy Mace's version of events, is that the guy held the handshake longer than Nancy Mace wanted. So the guy did to her what Donald Trump did to President Macron in France the past weekend, but not as bad.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
If you believe Mace's version, which as Ron Phillip Cowsey says, I don't, then a MAGA Republican representative, Tim Burchette, told the MAGA party line, quote, where's the outrage in the media from the left on the assault of Nancy Mace?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Every time Mace falls out of the news for a few days, some incident seems to happen, as Ron Filipkowski says, which he plays it up for all it's worth in her never ending quest to get on Fox and Newsmax and other right wing media to get as much attention as possible. Emily Brooks from The Hill writes, A disputed handshake is at the center of Tuesday's incident involving Rep.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
Nancy Mace that resulted in an Illinois man's arrest, according to her police report of witnesses who spoke to the Hill. Here is the police report, with Mace's accounting to officers that relays a more contentious interaction. Said... Subject began to aggressively and in an exaggerated manner shake her arm up and down.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
The victim stated that she attempted to pull her hand away from the subject but was held in place by the subject. But a witness at the event, Elliot Hinkle, told me, quote, James McIntyre met her by the door where people could see her and him and say trans youth are in the foster care and they need your support and gave a handshake and then walked back to his seat and sat down.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
adding that it seemed like a pretty normal interaction. James McIntyre, who's been arrested for assault, has now pled not guilty to being charged with assault. Nancy Mace posts photos of herself as Wonder Woman. She goes, I'm Stan with Nancy Mace. War pink tonight. Celebrate all my real womanhood. A woman being bullied for weight for it. Protecting woman is the height of gaslighting.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
I'll drink your tears in my Pinot Noir. Cheers. Just so you see, Here's what Nancy Mace posted back on June 4th, 2021. The pandemic, this is from Nancy Mace back then. The pandemic kept all of us from fully celebrating pride in the low country in 2020.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
But hopefully as we finally begin to open back up, we can all come together to celebrate the challenges our LGBTQ plus community has overcome and the bright future ahead. Hashtag pride month, hashtag pride 2021. So what, she just reinvented her whole personality? That's the thing with these magas. All of this stuff is so performative. It's so phony over and over again. These stunts, this crap.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
That's why I just want normalcy here at the Midas Touch Network. And by the way, May I just share with you this short video here of Congresswoman McBride, transgender woman, Congresswoman from the at-large district in Delaware. And she says, look, I don't talk about being transgender. She goes, I talk about representing the Delaware people. You don't want me to use your bathroom?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
OK, I'm here to represent the people. Can you stop turning me into some culture war issue? That's not why the people of Delaware elected me. Watch Democratic Congresswoman Sarah McBride act mature, play this clip.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
BUSTED! GOP Gets CAUGHT Scamming with FAKE INJURY
I wanted to highlight all of this. There's a broader story here about this MAGA, what would be the opposite? It's a form of virtue signaling, MAGA signaling, whatever this is. And they live in their own fictitious gonzo MAGA world. That this fictional world is then spread through corporate media as a reality. It's ridiculous, dangerous. Gotta call it out.

House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
Now, you remember the sequence of events right here? There was a continuing resolution that was agreed to by Democrats and Republicans. Then Elon Musk started posting yesterday, kill the bill with samurai swords. He called the bill criminal. He said that anybody supports it is going to be primary.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
Then Trump swooped in and said, look, we could only support a continuing resolution to stop a government shutdown if Trump the debt ceiling is abolished.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
So Donald Trump and all the MAGA Republicans who previously said that the debt ceiling should not be raised when President Biden was trying to raise it and then a deal had to be struck with Kevin McCarthy are now saying not only should the debt ceiling be raised, they're basically saying the whole concept of the debt ceiling should be abolished. And so even MAGA Republicans like Chip Royer, like
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
So wait a minute, this whole Doge thing about reducing the deficit and cutting back on debt. So the MAGA Republican plan was to kill a bipartisan continuing resolution and to change it based on Elon Musk and Donald Trump's request, something that was going to increase the debt immediately by $5 trillion.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
This right here is a MAGA Republican, Chip Roy, who's on the House floor saying, what in the hell are you doing, Donald Trump and Elon Musk? Watch this.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
But then Donald Trump and Elon Musk started attacking MAGA Republican Chip Roy and saying that he was a phony and he's just in it for himself. But it wasn't just Chip Roy. There were 38 other Republicans who voted against this new version of the continuing resolution. Then MAGA Mike Johnson gave a press conference and MAGA Mike Johnson said, OK,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
Don't be fooled by Republicans wanting to increase the debt limit because this is actually something that we're trying to decrease by increasing.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
And here, MAGA Mike Johnson just looks absolutely terrified. And he's like, this is just Washington. This is what you do. No, MAGA Mike. This is what Elon Musk is directing you to do, who's controlling our government, a billionaire, unelected bureaucrat who's ordering and basically running the government. Take a look at MAGA Mike Johnson here. Play this clip.

Here's House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Hakeem Jeffries wrote, the Musk Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated. MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans. They're simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers. Got to give credit to Democratic Congress member Jared Moskowitz, who calls it out so perfectly right here. Let me bring you Moskowitz.

Democratic Congressmember Jamie Raskin says, this holiday season, House Republicans want to break a bipartisan deal and furlough millions of hardworking federal workers, including 50,000 in my district who placate the richest man in the world, President-elect Elon Musk and his VP, J.D. Vance. I voted no.

House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
And as Jake Sherman, who covers the comings and goings on Capitol Hill, he says the following, look, House Republicans are a long way from solving this problem that they created because samurai sword-wheeling Elon Musk and Donald Trump said kill a bipartisan bill. As Jake Sherman says, House Republicans are a long way from solving this. A technical point to mention, as of now, 8.05 p.m.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
when he wrote this, the House GOP leadership has not given itself same-day authority. This means it will be difficult for them to pass a bill tomorrow under the simple majority threshold.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
Absolutely. I mean, I think we are beginning and witnessing the start of the Elon Musk presidency. There is no question. And Donald Trump has been regulated as now the vice president to Elon Musk's new administration. The Republican Party here in the House completely bent the knee to Elon Musk. He says something, they jump.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
And it's just insane and crazy that a deal that had been negotiated by Speaker Johnson and Hakeem Jeffries and the Senate was completely tanked because of Elon Musk sending out messages on X and his social media platform. And so this is complete insanity. There is now this new administration developing at the head being Elon Musk. And the fact that we have now the richest man on the planet
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
Utterly humiliating for Donald Trump and Elon Musk right there as 38 Republicans voted against the Trump, Musk, and Maga Mike Johnson Frankensteinian bill that replaced the a bipartisan agreement to stop the government shutdown. You saw it there. That was the moment where 38 Republicans stood up and said, you are not bullying us, Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The bill failed 174 to 235.
The MeidasTouch Podcast

Dictating what the United States Congress should be doing is completely insane, dangerous, and Americans should be very concerned.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
House Republicans TANK Trump and Musk Bill and SHAME THEM
So there you have it, folks. A humiliating defeat for Donald Trump and Elon Musk after they killed the bipartisan bill had this thing get put in instead. And again, this thing, like, you know, basically, what did it add? It added... It lifted restrictions on investment in China. I wonder who would benefit from that right there.

MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
Well, earlier this week, and I'm sure you probably have seen my reporting, MAGA Mike Johnson said, finally, there's a continuing resolution that has been prepared. He said that he's giving it to everybody to read.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
But now Elon Musk, an unelected bureaucrat who's basically a co-president, and Vivek Ramaswamy, who run this fake government agency called Doge, they're saying kill the continuing resolution. Nobody should pass it. This is what Elon Musk's actual post is. This bill should not pass.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
And Vivek Ramaswamy goes currently reading the 1547 page bill to fund the government through mid-March, expecting every U.S. congressman and senator to do the same. OK, good for you. You're reading it. But then Elon Musk says this bill should not pass. So what do you want to do? You want to just torch the entire American economy?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
I think Elon Musk said that we should all suffer some form of economic hardship. That's the language that he used. What, do you want us to be like Javier Millay in Argentina and we should suffer Trump and Elon Musk austerity measures while y'all are partying in Mar-a-Lago and on private jets and Bentleys and Rolls Royces and whatever that we the people suffer?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
You know, Donald Trump's proposed tax plan adds more taxes to everybody but the billionaires. Is that what you all wanted? Is that what you all voted for? Elon Musk, you certainly didn't vote for. I mean, he's not an elected official. He writes the following as well. Ever seen a bigger piece of pork? and he takes a photo of the bill.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
Now look, okay, 1,547 pages, whatever it is, is long, but you need a functioning government. I think it's ridiculous that MAGA Republicans literally dump this thing two days yet again before the government shut down. But that's what they've done before. Note, when the Democrats were in charge of the House of Representatives, you know what happened?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
There was a budget that was passed and you didn't have to do continuing resolutions every year and go through this again. Remember going back, what, three years ago or so or two years ago? At this point, Republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling. We're going to send the country into a Great Depression. Remember they said that? And Biden had to fix that. And they didn't pass a budget.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
Continuing resolution, continuing resolution. What else is Elon Musk posting? He's using his artificial intelligence on his social media platform to post images of over here Elizabeth Warren dressed up as Pocahontas. So that's also what he's doing in addition to telling MAGA Mike Johnson and the MAGA Republicans to kill their own bill.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
And again, this is where some understanding of civics is important. Who controls the House of Representatives right now? The Republicans, not the Democrats. Who put this forward? The Republicans. MAGA Mike Johnson. The party that you support, Elon Musk, put this thing together. And if you just want to destroy it, I'm being serious. Why do Democrats continue to bail them out?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
I understand that nobody wants a recession or a depression or to go through any of this. But why are we why are Democrats constantly swooping in to save the day and make MAGA Republicans look semi-competent? Just let them torch it. And then you can go look. They don't know what the hell they're doing. Look at Elon Musk's post. He said, kill this bill, kill it. This is what ABC is reporting.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
Total dumpster fire. Republicans fume over Speaker's spending plan days from shutdown deadline. The Republican speaker, your own person. Mike Johnson under fire as House Republicans torch his funding bill. You mean their funding bill, the new Republican? The Republican funding bill. You're in charge of the House of Representatives. Here are some statements as well. This is like...
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
This is from Eric Burleson called the continuing resolution a total dumpster fire. By the way, a lot of the things that Republicans don't like in this is the disaster relief portion as well to bring disaster relief to areas hit hard by the hurricane. because they still want to spread all of those conspiracies for Donald Trump. MAGA Republican Eric Burleson goes, I think it's garbage.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
This is what Washington DC has done. This is why I ran for Congress to stop this, Burleson told a nonprofit broadcaster C-SPAN. Sadly, this is happening again. I think that it's shameful that people that celebrate Doge coming in and yet we're going to vote for another billion dollars be added to the deficit. It is ironic. You know, when Trump was in power the first time,

You know how much you added to the deficit? It didn't start with a B. It started with a T. And it didn't start with a 1. It started with an 8. $8 trillion you added in debt. $8 trillion. More than anyone before. Why? Because this is all a sham. All this is is a power grab for the billionaires and the oligarchy to loot, plunder our economy here in the United States. So what are you whining about?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
This is your party. This isn't Washington, D.C. The Republicans are in power. Since we've been given the majority again, we're adding $30 billion and literally totally unpaid for additional deficit spending. Just since November 5, Chip Roy, another MAGA Republican, says, I don't see what's doing what we're supposed to be doing. I don't know. do what you're supposed to do, do your job then.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
The conference itself owns this. The conference needs to decide whether we're actually serious about spending, we're just fundamentally unserious about spending. The main thing that you're supposed to do in Congress is you have the power of the purse.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
So when you say we're unserious about spending, just redact the word spending and just say, or cross out the word spending and just say, we're unserious. By the way, you wanna know what's in the continuing resolution? a pay raise for Republicans and an Obamacare opt-out.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
That's what they decided to put in this continuing resolution, where if it doesn't pass in two days, the government is going to shut down. So as Sam Stein says, the Speaker of the House, second in line of presidential secession, groveling with leaders now.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
And this is the thing too, remember I've been saying this over and over again in the videos, the whole Republican philosophy is as follows. Be the arsonists, destroy, plunder, take whatever you can as the arsonist, and then blame the firefighters for putting out the fire. Have people reelect the arsonists by destroying education and taking away any understanding and how civics works.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
And then literally have people reelect the arsonists who burnt it down to begin with by blaming the firefighters for not being able to fix the arson quick enough. That's essentially their philosophy. And in the chaos, in the suffering, they hoist up a strong man. And they said, only he can fix it. He's going to be able to bring so much stability. It's why we need a steady hand right now.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!
We are less than 48 hours from the government shutting down because the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives don't do their job.

They've never actually passed a budget.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MAGA Mike LOSES CONTROL of GOP…Shutdown IMMINENT?!!

With Donald Trump, all that stuff is always projection and confession, in my opinion. Just think about this New York Times headline. U.S. unemployment is worst since depression.

The stock market absolutely hates Donald Trump, his erratic behavior, his threats, the ridiculous cabinet picks. I mean, what? There were eight straight days where the Dow has been down. That hasn't happened since, oh, wait a minute, when Trump was in office in 2018. And if it's the ninth straight day, what's that like since the 1970s? Great work, Donald.

Even when Donald showed up at the New York Stock Exchange last week, He had his whole propaganda crew. His cabinet was there. All of the major indexes were down when Trump was there. I thought he said that he's got the golden touch. Nope, he's got the Midas touch, not the Midas touch at all.

Rowe Price and other financial analysts are saying that they expect the United States fiscal woes to accelerate and that Donald Trump's policies will keep inflation elevated.

Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
This comes at a time where the Wall Street Journal's main headline is Americans are stockpiling to get ahead of tariffs. Consumers are snapping up computer parts, vacuum cleaners, coffee and olive oil before the levies take effect. Folks, you realize You didn't have to do this to yourself. I mean, do you enjoy the pain? You wanna inflict pain? It didn't have to actually be this way.

And so now you have to stockpile your toilet paper and all of these things because the prices are gonna go up. But wait a minute, I thought your whole central premise was that on day one with his accordion hands, like a miracle, it was all gonna go away. Well, didn't he say that before? That was about COVID.

Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
Treasury 10-year yields may climb to 6% for the first time in more than two decades as U.S. fiscal woes worsen and Trump's policies help keep inflation elevated. The benchmark yield may first reach 5% in the first quarter of 2025 before potentially climbing further. Arif Hussain, chief investment officer of Fixed Income wrote in his report,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
Hussein is doubling down on calls for higher yields, citing persistent U.S. budget deficits as Trump cuts taxes during the second presidency, as well as potential tariffs and immigration policies that would sustain price pressures. Is a 6% 10-year Treasury yield possible? Why not? But we can consider that when we move through 5%, wrote Hussein, who helps the money manager oversee $187 billion.

The transition period in U.S. politics is an opportunity to position for increasing longer term treasury yields, he says. So I told you the other Wall Street Journal headline, right? American stockpiling to get ahead of tariffs. Consumers snapping up computer parts, vacuum cleaners, coffee and olive oil before the levies take effect.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
Tariff conscious consumers are stockpiling goods and rushing to upgrade old cars and appliances to get ahead of potential price increases. A quarter of Americans surveyed said it was a good time for major purchases as they expect prices to go up next year, up from 10% a month prior and a record high, according to the University of Michigan's monthly survey of consumers.

Trump's mass deportation plan could hurt the country more than the Great Recession report says. Mass deportations could lead to a 7.4% drop in the GDP, meaning the U.S. economy would not grow at all during Trump's second term, the report says. I don't know. What is something that hurts more than a great recession? I don't know. Does it start with a D? Could it be a great depression?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
Is that the words that you're trying to say? Let's just take a look at some of these reports. The American Immigration Council estimates that if the US deported 1 million people each year until the country no longer had an undocumented population, it could lead to a 4.2% to a 6.8% loss in GDP. To put this in context, the economy shrank by 4.3% during the Great Depression. Here's another one.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
Estimates from the Peterson Institute for International Economics showed an even grimmer economic consequence after analyzing how the deportation of 8.3 million undocumented immigrants would impact the US economy. The think tank found that the GDP would be 7.4% lower by 2028.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
This 7.4% reduction in GDP over four years would likely mean that the US economy would not grow at all during the second term. Employment would also be 7% lower. By the end of Trump's term, the Institute found and 44,000 U.S.-born workers would lose their job.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
So if you want to talk about specific industry sectors like construction, agriculture, healthcare, and hospitality, Trump's proposed mass deportations would remove up to 1.5 million workers from the construction industry, 225,000 from agriculture, 1 million from hospitality, 870,000 from manufacturing, and 461,000 from transportation, warehousing. Seriously? Seriously.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
So I wonder why Wall Street looks at this and goes, wait a minute, things may be grim. But then why is it that they're saying all these things and trying to pump it up? Because they want to pump it. They want to dump it. They want to tax shelter it. They want their tax cuts. And they want to keep us in this loop. Have a Democratic administration fix it.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Gets HUMILIATED by Stock Market PUNISHING HIM
But then blame the Democratic administration that fixed it. Blame the firefighter for putting out the fire. Bring back in the arsonists. Plunder. Pillage. Rinse. Repeat.

Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
In a completely illegal, psychotic order, the deeply conflicted, corrupt, biased, and incompetent acting Justice Juan Merchan has completely disrespected the United States Supreme Court and its historic decision on immunity. But even without immunity, this illegitimate case is nothing but a rigged hoax.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Mershon, who is a radical partisan, wrote an opinion that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution, and if allowed to stand, would be the end of the presidency as we know it.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Mershon has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your president and president-elect, just so I cannot expose his and his family's disqualifying and illegal conflicts. I am the only political opponent in American history not allowed to defend myself, a despicable First Amendment violation, exclamation point.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Mershon took the Manhattan DA's witch hunt that, according to all legal scholars, including Jonathan Turley, Eli Honing, Andy McCarthy, Alan Dershowitz, Greg Jarrett, David Rivkin, Elizabeth Price Foley, Andy Tchaikovsky, Paul Ingrassia, so all Fox hosts, other than Ellie Honan.

Great job, Ellie, by the way, in lending your name to that because you're a federal prosecutor and were apparently jealous of the New York District Attorney's prosecution. Barred by the statute of limitations, the case was and should never have been brought. through his fraud and misconduct gave it a semblance of life.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
While deranged, Jack Smith was sent packing back to the Hague after losing all of his politically manufactured cases against me. Mershon, who is far worse and even more corrupt than Smith in his fight for my hopeless political opponents, just cannot let go of his charade. Is it because of his conflicts and relations that he keeps breaking the law? This has to stop, exclamation point.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
it is time to end the lawfare once and for all so we can come together as one nation and make america great again the whiniest message in the world i mean for real we should all be embarrassed by this message first off the special counsel jack smith cases were not dismissed on the basis of the merits he's a federal prosecutor donald trump is now the head of the federal government
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Therefore, it is DOJ policy to dismiss the case. And Jack Smith made it clear, not at all on the merits, but simply because of the election. The conviction in New York predates the election. You are convicted on 34 separate felony counts.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
The United States Supreme Court issued its order on absolute immunity, which said core constitutional functions, official acts, and evidence relating to official acts cannot come into play when it comes to the executive branch. The case in New York involving the 34 separate felony counts against you, Donald Trump, as found by Justice Bershon and found by a jury involved hush money felonies.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
That was what the case was basically called. It was a fabrication of business records case. And then there was a cover-up thereafter. That's what Justice Vershawn put in his ruling. That is essentially what the jury's finding was in finding 34 separate felony counts. The conduct preceded predates when you are in office.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
What Justice Merchant said in his 41-page order is, he said, look, I've reviewed what the Supreme Court has said on absolute immunity. I've reviewed what the Supreme Court discusses in terms of what the outer limits are.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Justice Merchant says, if there is a hypothetical example of something you should not get absolute immunity for, it is essentially making hush money payments to an adult film actor. and a quid pro quo payoff. That does not constitute absolute immunity at all. That's what Justice Mershon put in his very detailed order.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Justice Mershon also said in his ruling that your lawyers fail to assert on most claims the appropriate objections to even assert absolute immunity in the first place. But he goes, look, even though your lawyers did not do their job the right way, essentially, if you wanted to make these claims on most of the claims, he goes, I'll analyze the absolute immunity claim regardless.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
So he analyzes the absolute immunity and says, no, this does not fall within the Supreme Court's ruling, does not fall within the outer limits.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
And then he goes on to say, even if you did get absolute immunity for certain testimony regarding Madeline Westerhut, Michael Cohen, some of your tweets and ho picks, what Justice Merchant said, the evidence of criminality was so overwhelming that any introduction of any of these other facts would be harmless error such that you should be found liable anyway for the crimes that you were convicted of.

One of the single biggest predictors of how long you'll live and how good you feel while living is your metabolic health. Now, I strongly believe that you can't manage what you don't measure, and metabolic health can be difficult to measure. This is why I use Levels to track my daily health metrics and habits and ultimately optimize my metabolic health.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Levels helps me understand how my food and lifestyle decisions are impacting my health. In the short term, I use levels to optimize my energy levels during the day and manage my weight. In the long term, I'm thinking about the many chronic diseases that are directly linked to metabolic health, including diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
I use Levels with a continuous glucose monitor to get my own personalized data, which I've found to be really powerful to understand my own unique physiology. But you can also now use Levels without a continuous glucose monitor. I never realized how much pasta could really spike my glucose until I started using Levels. Levels has completely changed how and what I consume each day.
The MeidasTouch Podcast

Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Regarding your whining about a gag order and saying that, oh, you're not allowed to defend yourself, you're literally posting a whiny message attacking the judge. In this message, you're attacking the judge's family. You're attacking the judge as a radical partisan. Let's be very clear. The judge himself is excluded from the gag order.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
You can attack the judge, which you are doing now, and you are a convicted felon, according to the judge. There are some limitations. The fact that you think that you need to attack a judge's daughter when you are a president-elect, again, shows the depths of depravity that exists with you. You could go on and read this order. I could debunk more of this stuff.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Completely illegal and psychotic order. So you're saying what, Justice Merchant, a New York state court judge, committed a crime by following New York state law? Weren't these MAGA Republicans, weren't they all states' rights people? But now they're not for states' rights when it doesn't involve a ruling that they like. He goes on to call it a rigged hoax, really?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
Because a jury of your peers in New York found you guilty on 34 separate felony counts. Regarding the reference to Ellie Honing, didn't Ellie Honing say that Michael Cohen blew the case? I thought Ellie Honing said that you were going to win the case, the juries hated Michael Cohen. So I guess Ellie Honing was wrong again there.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
You say that Mershon has so little respect for the Constitution, he's keeping an illegal gag order. I mean, you could essentially say whatever you want. I just read your freaking statement that you said right now. You said this is a despicable First Amendment violation. Well, by the way, the United States Supreme Court, the federal United States Supreme Court, they've said the gag order is valid.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
So what do you say about that? New York's highest court, United States Supreme Court, all said the gag order is valid. And on the Supreme Court side, those are judges who you appointed. Then your statement about Jack Smith losing his cases, he didn't lose the cases on the merits. He dismissed the cases because you won. Your Supreme Court justices, the same ones who say the gag order is fine.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
They made a ruling that delayed justice in time, and then you won the election, and now the case gets dismissed. I mean, it is what it is. Jack Smith had to dismiss the cases under DOJ precedent. That's just what the DOJ does, because you're going to be appointing Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ. So clearly she's not going to pursue the prosecution against you.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
And then you go, is it because his conflict and relations that he keeps breaking the law? This has to stop. So you're again saying that Justice Mershon is a criminal. You're talking about lawfare, but you're out there literally saying, suing everybody. You sued the Iowa pollster because they wrote a poll that you didn't like under Iowa consumer protection statutes.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump LOSES HIS MIND over Immunity Order
But you're upset about lawfare where a criminal jury in New York convicted you on 34 separate felony counts. And then he goes on and just, again, mostly it's just whining. It's whining and it's using the presidency as a pulpit not to lead, but to be a whiner in chief, a little baby who behaves like this. Anyway, let me know what you think, but that's Donald Trump's freak out. Hit subscribe.

I want to show you how President Biden has outmaneuvered Donald Trump in the closing days of the Biden administration with grace and dignity and a patriotism and love of our country that's quintessential Biden.

Donald Trump goes, if there's going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now under the Biden administration, not after January 20th, under quote Trump. This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will, exclamation point.

And of course we know the chaos that Donald Trump caused during the transition to President Biden. Trump is also posting the following. Congress must get rid of or extend out to perhaps 2029, the ridiculous debt ceiling. Without this, we should never make a deal. Remember, the pressure is on whoever is the president. In other words, blame, blame, blame.

In a moment, I'm going to contrast this to President Biden, but I think it's important to show you the contrast. So hang in there. Don't worry, I'm not showing Trump video content. Or audio, you know that's my latest policy we've enacted since the election here on my hot takes.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's boss, I think the actual president-elect, Elon Musk, is mocking the physical appearance of female Congress members. Turns out that Washington, D.C. swamp creatures are real. And he's mocking Rosa DeLauro right there. And he has spent the morning mocking her because she criticized him. How dare you criticize Elon Musk? So he's out there using a social media platform to...
The MeidasTouch Podcast

mock her physical appearance. So that's Donald Trump. And I've referred to Donald Trump as having the small stick or micro stick policy, which is use the accordion hands, threaten, huff and puff, but when it comes down to it, have no real power and just being obnoxious.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Biden OUTMANEUVERS Trump in Powerful FINAL INTERVIEW
On the other hand, when I interviewed President Biden, I believe that not only did he reflect grace and dignity, but also I think that's what real strength looks like. We did the interview in the Roosevelt Room of the West Wing of the White House. named after FDR and Teddy Roosevelt. Now, Teddy Roosevelt said, his famous expression is, speak soft, but carry a big stick.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Biden OUTMANEUVERS Trump in Powerful FINAL INTERVIEW
It's called the big stick policy. In other words, a true leader doesn't go and make all of these threats all over the place. Their true leader is dignified. is a true statesman, but when it comes down to it, exercises real power when necessary. And I think that's what President Biden is and Biden reflects.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Biden OUTMANEUVERS Trump in Powerful FINAL INTERVIEW
And I know that doesn't fit into a nice cute sound bite for TikTok or whatever, but to me, that's what real leadership is. So contrast Donald Trump making all of these threats, the bluster on his social media, and contrast that to President Biden here. So when I asked President Biden, hey, you know, Donald Trump's going to try to take credit for all of your stuff. What are you going to do?

Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
I want no bills passed until I take over, unless, remember what Donald Trump's position was this past week? unless you attach to the continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown, a provision that says the debt ceiling will be abolished, or perhaps the debt ceiling debate will be pushed to 2029, or perhaps 2027, or perhaps can you just give me something so I look like a winner?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
But it was totally ignored. The final continuing resolution looked a lot like the original one that Donald Trump and Elon Musk said was terrible. But this is a pattern with Donald Trump. He goes out there, bluster, bravado, and then folds. Our enemies know that Trump is not a good negotiator. This is the pattern. Let's watch what this pattern is because it's ingrained in his very weak pathology.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Republicans QUICKLY FOLD on Bill…Dems FIGHT BACK
So the government's going to be funded. Elon Musk and Donald Trump folded like a cheap napkin and Democrats held their ground. You heard it there. What ended up happening on this continuing resolution to stop a government shutdown The House passed a bill to avert the midnight shutdown. The bill passed 366 to 34. One person voted present. 170 Republicans voted yes. 196 Democrats voted yes.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
So Donald Trump makes posts like this. Congress must get rid of or extend out to perhaps 2029, the ridiculous debt ceiling. Without this, we should never make a deal. Remember, the pressure is on whoever is president.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Republicans QUICKLY FOLD on Bill…Dems FIGHT BACK
34 Republicans voted no. Zero Democrats voted no. Once again, as Jake Sherman reports, Democrats saved Republicans. Another big point after Donald Trump has been saying that he would not support a continuing resolution to stop a government shutdown unless the debt ceiling was abolished or unless the debt ceiling was increased or unless an extension on the debt ceiling for several years was done.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
was his post by the way weird post to uh extend out to perhaps 2029 who negotiates like that then donald trump also posted the following if there's going to be a shutdown of government let it begin now under the biden administration not after january 20th under trump this is a biden problem to solve but if republicans can help solve it they will

Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
And so do you remember when Donald Trump was bragging that he forced Maga Mike to have a continuing resolution that included pushing the debt ceiling back a few years or raising the debt ceiling right now, but Republicans didn't support it?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Republicans QUICKLY FOLD on Bill…Dems FIGHT BACK
That did not happen in this continuing resolution. In other words, what Donald Trump and Elon Musk were asking for, all of the theatrics, all of the drama, all of the wild behavior ended up being for naught. None of that happened. No debt ceiling was even addressed in this continuing resolution. After all of that,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
Republicans rejected it and it failed earlier in the week before they basically brought back the same resolution that Elon Musk was like doing samurai sword pictures with and saying, kill the bill. Donald Trump posted this. Success in Washington. Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good deal.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Republicans QUICKLY FOLD on Bill…Dems FIGHT BACK
House Republicans weren't at all moved by Trump's demands to lift the borrowing cap to add more debt, which increased the deficit. Trump effectively asked for one thing. He didn't get it. Now on to the Senate, which is expected to pass. this continuing resolution.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
Then it goes on to say a very important piece vital to the America First agenda was added as well. The date of the very unnecessary debt ceiling will be pushed out two years to January 30th, 2027. Now we can make America great again very quickly. Do you remember when Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans were like preventing President Biden for raising the debt ceiling and they said,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Republicans QUICKLY FOLD on Bill…Dems FIGHT BACK
As Mr. Capra puts it, on Wednesday, here's the post, Trump threatens, I'm going to primary any Republican who votes for a clean, continuing resolution without a debt limit extension to keep the government funded. Let's get ready for a shutdown, Trump said. But then on Friday, moments ago, 170 Republicans voted for a clean continuing resolution without a debt limit extension.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Dems CALL Trump’s BLUFF… Trump SURRENDERS FAST
how fiscally irresponsible. Well, Donald Trump wants to do precisely that now when President Biden is still in power. Sounds a bit contradictory, doesn't it? But this is when Donald Trump thought that he was going to get this, but Republicans voted against Donald Trump's provision and what finally went into the bill that was ultimately passed in the House of Representatives had none of that.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Republicans QUICKLY FOLD on Bill…Dems FIGHT BACK
The bill passed overwhelmingly defying Donald Trump. But in Donald Trump world, you got to take credit for things. You got to act like, oh, this was all part of the plan, exactly what I wanted. This is why Donald Trump is the biggest pushover ever. When it all comes down to it, he always folds like a cheap paper napkin from a fast food restaurant with filthy grease on it.

By the way, the Democrats posted this AI image right here. This isn't real. In case you were wondering, this is an AI image. Just want to be very clear.

We're just gonna go back and pretty much do the continuing resolution that does not include raising the debt ceiling or moving the debt ceiling out. Trump, we're going to ignore you.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Republicans QUICKLY FOLD on Bill…Dems FIGHT BACK
The Republicans removed a few things from it. I'll tell you what the Republicans removed from this continuing resolution to make themselves feel good about it. But Biden got what he wanted because Biden's actually playing chess while Trump is playing, I don't know, checkers with M&Ms or something. I don't know. This is what the White House says.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump CAUSES even MORE FELONS to Lead Republicans
Davis calls this discrepancy within the qualifications of running for different offices. I believe that we should punish those who do wrong, but once they've completed the terms, we should allow individuals to reintegrate into society. They are citizens. They have the ability to work and pay taxes.

And one of the aspects of being a citizen is being represented by your government and deciding who should be who should represent you. Then it goes on to talk about Donald Trump's felony conviction.

This is according to a Joint Economic Committee report. Trump's mass deportations would reduce our real GDP by as much as 7.4 percent by 2028. reduce the worker supply for agriculture and construction, push prices up to 9.1% higher by 2028, cost 44,000 Americans their jobs for every 500,000 immigrants removed from the labor force. Think about that.

ran our country into the ground during COVID, which was the cause of inflation, and printed money recklessly during the PPP program where he forgave the debt of people who were already rich whose debt was forgiven, whereas student loan debt isn't forgiven under Donald Trump, but his wealthy millionaire friends get their debt forgiven.

Until it actually happens because there's this collective amnesia when Donald Trump told people to inject bleach in their arm during COVID.

He was asked by Jim Cramer, a business propagandist, a basic softball question, as softball as you get. Should American workers put their money in the stock market?

Donald Trump's response was, I don't know if the stock market goes down and there's a dip that people can lose their money. Donald Trump went from in his campaign saying he was going to make the stock market the greatest ever, even though the stock market is now up 60% with Biden than it was when Trump was in office.

Donald Trump's saying the prices are going to be higher? Or he's not guaranteeing he'll make it lower, which is what he guaranteed? Trump's saying with healthcare, he only has concepts of a plan?

All right, sure. Add insult to injury and try to treat us all like we're stupid. That's what corporate media thinks about us anyway.

Greinbaum goes on to say in his report, the meeting was part of a visit by ABC News execs to meet with the Trump transition team.

They didn't talk about the conspiracy that was taking place. Well, I don't want to even use the term conspiracy because that makes it seem like a conspiracy theory.

By the way, now that we know about this meeting between Deborah O'Connell, who oversees ABC News, a few days later, five days later, a $15 million settlement happens. I wonder how the people who work, what are the employees at ABC, what do they think about this, right? Because you know, there have been budget cuts and layoffs and things like this.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
Well, according to Yashar Ali, ABC News talent and staff that he's been talking to over the past few hours are stunned and furious about the settlement. Their anger primarily stems from the fact that they have faced repeated budget and compensation cuts in recent years, experienced layoffs, and yet the network even if insurance paid it, has paid this huge sum of money to settle this matter.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
And I'm not quite sure that insurance paid it because why would insurance pay it if they're classifying it as a political donation to a future library, which sounds like a tax deduction to me or a tax write-off to me. And often if you're admitting to engaging in defamation and issuing taxes, an apology like that publicly.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
Insurance doesn't necessarily cover intentional acts where you're apologizing for what you did like that. But you know what's interesting here? Look, it's true. Significant layoffs have hit ABC News. For example, $19 million in cuts were made to Good Morning America last year. Think about that.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
19 million in cuts, people lost their job, dozens of people get fired, and all of that money that would have saved those jobs was now given to a Trump presidential, a future Trump presidential library. So I understand that, but it's still, when you think about it, the ABC News and Talent, what made them most pissed
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
is the compensation issue and not the obeying in advance to authoritarianism issue, because to me, that's the bigger issue right here. I mean, look, if you're talent, if you're a journalist, I understand your compensation is important, and I understand how frustrating it must be if your company's reducing it, but don't you want your integrity first? more than anything here.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
I mean, just think about it over here. When you have Mark Zuckerberg, who Donald Trump has called, you know, I'm coming after you, Zuckerbucks. And Trump's called him all these names standing there at Mar-a-Lago next to Donald Trump. By the way, Tim Cook of Apple went to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring as well. Joe and Mika, we've reported, I just realized this now, in that political playbook report.

Guess who it's brought to you by? Zuckerberg, it's brought to you by Meta, The signs, the stamps of the oligarchy all staring us in the face.

The media is the enemy of the people. These long all caps. They're almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-sided vicious coverage by NBC News, in particular MSDNC, often correctly referred to as MSDNC, Democratic National Committee, should be investigated for country-threatening treason. They're the enemy of the people. Fuck, the fake news is the enemy of the people.

Posting memes like this of the news networks holding Vice President Kamala Harris up and saying enemy of the people. Post after post, enemy of the people. So all you gotta do is go on social media, call people enemy of the people, just threaten the media, and the fourth estate, boom! Folds like that, folds like that. And you see talent, they're worried about compensation over integrity.

Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
You've got the corporations, the oligarchical corporations that run these media networks want to kiss the ring. It's all a money grab, it's a race for money. Put your integrity first over all of this. You could have integrity and make money too. And if they come after you, if they go after you, so be it. That's life, stand up for yourself.

Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
But no, secret meetings at lavish steakhouses behind our backs, focusing on their bottom line, not the bottom line of our democracy. And you see it right there. You can go and look at the hot take that I did, you know, about the settlement where I've been very critical of this settlement.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
You know, just the worst settlement that makes zero sense, in my opinion, other than if you're kissing the ring. Go watch that. The Legal AF I did, I did another video about it that I'll post. Go to the Substack. I wrote a whole article. I call it Shame on You, ABC. Go to MidasPlus.com or just go – that will take you to our Substack or just go on Substack and then take a look at –

Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
search Midas Touch on Substack and then look for it and you'll see the article I did on it where I'm very critical and I break down why the settlement legally makes absolutely no sense. If you're ABC, you had Donald Trump cornered, in my opinion, in that litigation. Trump was set to have his deposition taken this week.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
It would have been under oath, where Donald Trump's whole position would be, you defamed me because you used the word rape, when in fact a jury found me liable for sexual assault. In other words, using a finger to do digital penetration without consent versus genitals. And Donald Trump says, therefore, that defamed me and harmed my reputation and character.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SECRET Meeting with Media before Payoff EXPOSED
That was the thrust of Donald Trump's case. And you settle that case before Trump's deposition? Like it literally is inexplicable. Go look at the broader recap that I do on it. I think you'll appreciate it. Anyway, thank you for watching. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 4 million subscribers.

Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
Fortunately, we still have this platform here on YouTube and at the Midas Touch Network. to tell the truth, and we're going to use our voices loudly and proudly here. So let's use the United States Post Office as our first example, and then I'll show you some other examples of what's going on here.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
So who is the Postmaster General of the Postal Service who has utterly destroyed its ability to function? Oh yeah, it's a guy named Louis DeJoy. Louis DeJoy was appointed by Donald Trump, and back in May of 2020, When Donald Trump made that appointment, we and others were calling that out.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
We were saying, look, Louis DeJoy has never worked for the United States Postal Service before, but he is or at that time was an investor in numerous entities and contracting companies that competed directly with the United States Postal Service. In fact, Louis DeJoy's entire job was basically to compete with and bring down the United States Postal Service before becoming the postmaster general.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
We discussed that and what did he do as soon as he got that job? Oh, what were his qualifications other than wanting to destroy the entity he would lead? Well, he was one of Donald Trump's biggest donors. Surprise, surprise. Donated a lot of money, contributed a lot of money to Donald Trump. So what does he do when he takes over? He systematically rips it apart from within.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
Frankly, even Republicans have called out the way Louis DeJoy has handled the Postal Service. But that's not a quirk. That was the actual purpose of it, and it was the purpose to do that, to then privatize it, and then to hand it out as a favor to one of the oligarchs who show up at Mar-a-Lago and kiss the ring.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
I wonder, are people like Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg and Tim Cook and others who go to Mar-a-Lago, give $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration, are they lining up and trying to position themselves, for example, to be a privatized version of a postmaster general and to take a billion dollar contract or more as a favor? The way it exists, for example,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
in oligarchical countries like authoritarian countries like Russia. Is that one of the things that is taking place? So you take a look, for example, at the post service where Trump's guy destroyed the post service from within, used that as pretext to privatize, hand it over to the oligarchy, let the oligarchy run it and profit from it and exploit we the people.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
But take another example of it, right? The IRS. Look, nobody likes the IRS. Nobody likes the time when they have to go and pay taxes. But we all recognize that's something that we just do. And we want the IRS to be efficient and to go about its job correctly. And we don't want the decamillionaires and billionaires to cheat on their taxes.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
and pay less in taxes, not just even as a percentage, but less actual dollar for dollar in taxes than a teacher, a bus driver, a construction worker. And that's what's going on as the very wealthy create all of these tax shelters and hide their money overseas and do all of that.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
The MAGA Republicans work for the oligarchs, so they want to help the billionaires do that and break down and crush the IRS. So President Biden tries to hire more people at the IRS. Republicans say, oh, all these people are going to knock on your doors. The IRS is coming for you, you, you. which is not what actually happened at all. The efficiency of the IRS increased greatly.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
In addition, the new IRS commissioner who was hired by President Biden and picked by Biden, he's a bipartisan guy as well, just coincidentally went to my high school many years before I graduated. He graduated many years before that. And then they created efficient systems like free tax filing online so people don't have to use
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
software or go to like super pricey accountants if they can't afford it or they don't want to because there's an efficient online system. Think about that, bringing technology to bear on government. One of the things that the IRS also did was improve the call time.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
So if you had an issue with the IRS, you could resolve that right away, get a hold of an IRS agent or operator right away, fix things, deal with things because people were frustrated that You couldn't even get a hold of someone while they were making demands. The Biden administration fixed that. But take a look. Who does Trump bring in to run the IRS?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
A former Congress member named Billy Goode and former Congress member Billy Goode's job before being at the IRS was he was a sorry, Billy Long. Billy good, Billy bad, Billy Long. Billy Long's job was a member of Congress, MAGA Republican. And one of the things that his whole purpose was is abolish the IRS and replace income taxes with a 23% sales tax. That was MAGA Republican, Billy Long.

So Trump is gonna fire a guy at the IRS now who's pretty efficient in doing what he, the guy's name is Danny Werfel, pretty efficient operator running the IRS efficiently. No one likes the IRS, but he's running the entity efficiently. Trump's gonna fire that guy and replace him with Billy Long, who wants to abolish the entity that he's now going to lead.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
Also, you've got MAGA Republicans reaching out to Donald Trump and saying, look, you need to get rid of On day one, the direct tax filing system, because TurboTax, which is owned by Intuit, is lobbying the MAGA Republicans to stop this free tax filing system so that it could be always done with private software and private hands, because this is hurting the bottom line for Intuit.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
By the way, if you want to use TurboTax and Intuit, great. It's a good software. No one's saying don't use. But at the same time, it's great that the government is creating an efficient way for people to do the same task for free themselves online and save themselves some money. Not a bad thing. MAGA Republicans want to stop that because they want people to be pissed off and hate government.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
And here's where the media oligarchy comes into place because they don't report on any of this crap. So people are frustrated at things. They're angry, they're pissed, but they don't know where to vent it. And so they're being told by Fox to vent it at the Democrats, vent it at Deep State, vent it at these people. Here's who's doing it to you. Trans people, migrants are doing it to you.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
Libs are doing it to you. And people start to believe that. Then corporate media in general doesn't report on these things. So you have this loop. You have this cycle taking place. Now, why? Who is it internationally that Donald Trump and his team looks up to? Who are some of the main people? Vladimir Putin, right? Who else?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
Viktor Orban, who's Vladimir Putin's stooge, who is the authoritarian leader of Hungary, who visits Trump frequently at Mar-a-Lago, right? Viktor Orban of the Hungary, the entire GDP is under $200 billion a year. That's less than some American corporations. So why are you looking up to a country who had like 17 to 20% inflation and its entire GDP is $200 billion? Like, think about that.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
It is now being reported that Donald Trump wants to privatize the United States Postal Service. These reports don't really cite to the United States Constitution, which says that Donald Trump couldn't do that on his own by way of an executive order. Congress has the authority and is the only entity charged with the authority to regulate the post office.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
Who does MAGA attack? California, which would have like the fourth largest GDP, not in the United States of any country. So attack California, which is funding the United States, the fourth largest GDP. If California were to be a country in the world, attack California. But let's prop up The new Argentinian leader, Javier Millet, right? They love that guy, Javier Millet. Why?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
He poses for photos with chainsaws. He literally says, his quote is, my contempt for the state is infinite, meaning rip down everything, rip down all these regulations, rip it all down, tear it down, and prop it up with an authoritarian style austerity measures where people are kept down. Right. Just look at Javier Millet's Argentina right now. This is objective data right now.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
The brutal austerity measures has deepened Argentina's recession, with consumer spending falling 20% in the past year and poverty rates soaring to a two-decade high of 52.9% in the second half of last year. So the Argentinian austerity measures have led to poverty rates soaring to 52.9%. Think about that. That is who Trump wants to bring here. Now you go, Ben, back that up with facts.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
You say Midas touches fact base, back it up. Okay. Well, here's Vivek Ramaswamy who runs the Doge, which is in charge of the Trump austerity measures. imposing Trump austerity measures on us. Vivek Ramaswamy says the following, the American version is called Doge. In response to somebody saying, at Mar-a-Lago last week, I spoke to Javier Millay.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
He's a leader on a mission to free his country from decades of socialism and mismanagement. And Vivek Ramaswamy goes, the American version is called Doge. Let's be very clear under President Biden, 16.1 million new jobs have been created. That's fact one. Our GDP is the fastest growing GDP basically in the world. Our inflation is like one of the lowest inflation in the world right now.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
Unemployment is at an all time low. We're energy independent, more oil drilling under Biden than under Donald Trump. Our stock market is up 50% under Biden than it was under Donald Trump. 40,000 new infrastructure projects created under President Biden. So you take all of those facts, but they're saying the guy who goes, my contempt for the state is infinite.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
And I've described this before on a Substack post at MidasPlus.com as the authoritarian loop is what I call it.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
I call it the authoritarian loop, which is how is it that in a state like Oklahoma, which is 49th in health, that's not a good stat to be like almost last, 49th in wealth, 49th in education, or close to that, you know, the worst stats in health, wealth, education, standard of living, all horrible. but they vote red, they vote Republican, all of like, why wouldn't they go, huh?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
If we're last in everything, maybe we'd wanna get better. Maybe it's the people who are running this that are keeping us down. In contrast, a state like Massachusetts, one of the top in wealth, health, education, standard of living, they were basically voted totally blue. So how do you see this disparity here kind of happening? And I've described that as the authoritarian loop.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
So it would require a bill to be introduced and that bill to become a law. But corporate media will propagate Donald Trump's wannabe authoritarian propaganda. But there's a broader issue that I think we should discuss here with Donald Trump saying he wants to privatize the Post Service, citing financial losses.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
We see this, for example, in authoritarian countries where if you can train your people to believe they're worthless, if you take away their education, if you take away their healthcare, if you take away their rights, if you take away their freedoms, if you take all of that away, And then you start handing out breadcrumbs. When people feel worthless, they accept the breadcrumbs.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
And then, you know, you come in as the authoritarian, I alone will fix it. You create the boogeyman. You have this being pumped out on the media. And then you say, I'm going to fix all the things where you're the arsonist.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
you know that's one of the things here that i always talk about like if you want to know the source of inflation where do you think it came from trump added eight trillion dollars in debt the most ever uh you had trump mismanaging coven mismanaging supply lines uh printing money recklessly the ppp program that he oversaw gave money to billy to millionaires printing money let millionaires get their debt forgiven but how dare you ever forgive the debt of students who are
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
under an economic cap threshold as well so you do all of those things that creates inflation that creates the economic problems that have to be solved but the trick is and the right wing is great at this trick and this is this goes back to the post service the irs all of this thing they become the arsonist you break it down You burn it down.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
And then when the firefighters come in, you then blame the firefighters. The oligarchy tries to get their bailout on the way out. But then you blame the firefighters and you call them the arsonists. That's the sleight of hand. That's the trick. You call the firefighters the arsonists. You make the people believe that. And then the people reelect the arsonists back into power to burn it down again.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump’s Plan to TORCH AND PRIVATIZE Exposed in 15 MINS
And we have this authoritarian loop and this cycle that's taking place that we need to finally once and for all break out of. That's what's going on. How do we break out of it? We have to connect. We have to get these messages out there. One of the things that we're trying to do here with this YouTube channel is get the message out. We're hoping we do that, but we'll see. We're doing our best.

Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
There he is once again. That's Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, just speaking truth to power right there. He was calling out the Conservative Party in Canada for getting an endorsement by Alex Jones. That's how you do it. I frankly would like to see more of that combativeness style in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. which you see there in the House of Commons.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
Let me just, by the way, that was from a few months back. And of course, we've been profiling Charlie Angus here. I did a one-on-one interview with him after we did a report on his previous House of Commons speech where he appealed to Canadians' pride in their country and said, do not let Donald Trump bully us here in Canada.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
Do not let America export disinformation and lies and authoritarianism here in Canada. And I saw that speech that Angus gave a few days back. It's getting close to 2 million views here on our YouTube channel. What you just saw there was another House of Commons speech by him recently that, again, I wanted to applaud and highlight.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
because that's the type of courage I'd like to actually see from politicians right here in the United States. Now, one of the factors that Charlie Angus and I talked about that is corrupting, eroding, destroying our politics here in the United States, which is not the case in Canada, and I think it's important
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
to have this international perspective on things is that number one, they don't have big money in their politics. People who run for their congressional races, their version to become members of parliament in their communities, It's like $100,000 at most. There's not huge billionaires funding campaigns. There's no political action committees there. That's number one.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
Number two, their Supreme Court is not politicized. They are kind of nonpartisan people who are focused on the interests of Canada. Watch how Charlie Angus describes the contrast between those bulwarks that preserve democracy in Canada and preserve their system there and stop the authoritarian encroachment as compared to what we have in the United States. Watch this.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
Now, there was another part of the interview that I think is important. It's what I say here all the time on the Midas Touch Network, that the threat of authoritarianism is international in its scope.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
And to combat it, the pro-democracy community, we all need to be international in our scope because these authoritarians, regardless of what their ideology is, their ideology they recognized is a mere pretext for what they truly care about as authoritarians, which is their wealth. The oligarchy, right?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
So whether you are an authoritarian wannabe in the US, whether you're Putin, whether you're Kim Jong-un, whether you're President Xi in China, whatever it is, ultimately at the end of the day, it's power and wealth. And the ideology is a subterfuge that is used by these authoritarian leaders as a way to kind of control the people.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
So they go to themselves, hey, let's all unite at the money, wealth, power level and repress the people. Let's join together. So we need to combat that with a pro-democracy movement of the people. Here, watch this.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
You know, and then finally I asked a member of parliament, Charlie Angus, about what's your message to the people of Canada as they're hearing this horrible stuff from the United States? And he's like, think about what our ancestors did. Think about what our elders did for us. Here, watch this incredible moment. Let's play it right there.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
I thought that was another great part of that interview with Charlie Angus. And, you know, here at the Midas Touch Network, we are expanding our coverage internationally because I think we truly need an international perspective to appropriately have the framework of how to deal with Trumpism. MAGA, and recognize that these ideas are ideas that permeate the international zeitgeist, right?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
I mean, we see this over here, for example, with people in Argentina, like Javier Millay, 52% poverty right there. He's like, we need to end the state in total. He's propped up in kind of this MAGA triumvirate mindset. You've got Viktor Orban over in Hungary. You've got Lukashenko in Belarus. You've got Vladimir Putin.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Canadian MP TORCHES Trump Plans in RESURFACED SPEECH
You've got Kim Jong-un giving troops, by the way, to Russia to fight in Ukraine, right? You have all of that. And you have Donald Trump not saying negative things about Putin. Has Trump said one negative thing about Putin ever, yet alone in the transition? No. But who does he attack? Trudeau, Canada, who does he attack, Mexico?
