Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Yeah, I mean, it sounds like that would be more attractive to you. I mean, I just don't understand why you want to play these games. Like, we met in real life. I thought you were a good person.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
And how busy are you right now? I mean, I'm kind of busy. I'm not totally busy. I mean, I... Jeff, ask him again. Ask him again, Jeff. You're super busy, right? You're slammed. Okay, like, look, I'm looking to get busier.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
That's not what she wants. She doesn't want that, Brooke.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Look, Harper, let's rewind and pretend I didn't call you for two weeks. Are you turned on now?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
So I met Harper at this German bar, actually. I was playing bocce ball. Do you guys know what that is?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
No, no, no, no, no. She was super cute. And I mean, she was super helpful, too, because I actually had to have this like long talk with her to tell her to cut off one of my drunk friends.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Exactly. It's like watching Jerry Springer. It's like, you look better than those people. Oh.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
How did you get Harper to agree to a date?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Well, I just simply asked her on the way out. I was like, look, are you single? And she said, who's asking? And I said, I am.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Yeah. And I just said, I'd love to take you out sometime. And she actually gave me her number. Oh. That's good.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
We went out for drinks, a little food. You know, she looked amazing. I mean, when she was like out of her waiter outfit.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
I mean, I did have one embarrassing moment on the date. We tried to order some quiche Lorraine, and I said, quickie Lorraine. I mean, I didn't take French in high school. Like, excuse me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
That's a tough word. What was her reaction? She totally laughed it off. It was a little embarrassing. But after that, like, I think it kind of lightened the mood a little bit. And from there, like, the date was great.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we actually, like, kissed at the end of the date. So that was nice. And she was the one who texted me that night saying that, She got home safe and let you wait to see me. So like, it seems super clear, right?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
There's no way to read that wrong. No, no, it was in English, I think.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Yeah. I mean, there was one time where I thought one date was going to work, but then she asked about a different date. So I don't know. Hmm.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
What's his theory? Might be.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
I mean, look, Harper's a really cute waitress. She probably has a lot of... Guys asking her out.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
But, like, look, guys, if that's it, if that's the thing where she has another guy, like, just convince her that I'm a good guy.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
Just a little bit. Just a little bit? Barely. I heard you call me a loser who has too much time on his hands.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
You think I'm a loser because I want to go out a second time? Like, that part doesn't make any sense.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Red Flaggy Much?
To be totally clear, I didn't want to hang out with you three nights in a row. I gave you three options. See?

Jordy, tariffs are a tax on American companies. So what Trump is saying is, I got so offended at what Columbia did. I'm imposing taxes on American corporations. It's like... That's what you're going to be doing.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And let's talk about strength, the weakness for a second as well, because you have all of these countries, whether it's Mexico, whether you go more south to Central American countries or South American countries, they're all standing up. to Donald Trump.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
I believe it's the president of Honduras is calling an emergency meeting of Central American, South American and Caribbean countries to join forces together about how to respond and collectively retaliate against Donald Trump. You have Claudia Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, whose approval rating is 80%. She's saying you will not send military planes into Mexico.

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
You've got the president of Brazil also saying that he intercepted one of the flights to Brazil by America of Brazilians who were also kind of shackled and treated like crap. And the president of Brazil is out there making a lot of statements as well and investigations being called into the United States treatment of Brazilians. actually gaining so much power right now.

Everything Trump touches dies. E-T-T-D. So, over the weekend and today, what's Donald Trump pretty much been doing all day? Golfing, golfing, and more golfing. And while he was golfing, guess what he was killing? Our stock markets. The NASDAQ tanked today, and so did the S&P. Remember last week when Donald Trump brought those AI tech bros, the broligarchs, to the Oval Office to announce Stargate?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
China, Xi Jinping, you have the Chinese ambassadors to all of these countries. The moment Trump does something, they're out there saying, China just wants to reinforce the fact that we respect the sovereignty of Panama, of Honduras, of Peru, of Colombia, of Brazil. We think our relations have never been better. This is a relationship of mutual cultural respect.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
This is a bilateral relationship where we respect the sovereignty of the nations. We look forward to investing more and being shoulder to shoulder. And in these countries, you literally, while they're burning the American flag, while they're holding protests against us, they're doing events with the Chinese flag and the Brazilian flag side by side.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And Xi Jinping's being invited to all of these countries, strengthening the relationships, all of these countries, Central American, South American, they want to join the BRICS block, which is Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, because they know that America is not protecting them and they want to be part of alliance that is protecting them. So you have all of that happening as well.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And then our media here is reporting on Trump's behavior like WWE wrestling and acting like this performative nonsense is somehow tough while America's strength is decreasing more in a week. than 80 years, I think Trump threw out in one week with our international relations. It couldn't have gone worse.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And do you hear any corporate media at all saying it could not have been worse for America what went down this past week. China didn't have to fire a single shot And it has achieved hegemonic influence of its wildest dreams as these countries like, yeah, we're not going with crazy. You know, whether you're on the North or the South, this is a meth lab. That's what they look at us like.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
We need someone who's at least a little bit more stable. That's how they're viewing this right now. Brett Jordy and Midas Mighty. And by the way, don't look at the statements coming out from these countries. They're literally saying it. And our corporate media like is like, I don't know, I guess Donald Trump is powerfully doing the, oh my God.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
a $500 billion so-called investment into American AI, despite the fact that a lot of that was being built over the past several years anyway. Well, all of a sudden we heard that China was releasing its own AI. They released something called DeepSeq, which was an open source based AI. And because it was open source, the American proprietary version
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Make no mistake, the way China rolled out this deep seek AI model, open sourced it to undermine American AI industry's right after Donald Trump invited the AI tech bros into the Oval Office was a shot across the bow. It was an effort to humiliate Donald Trump. And it's because they smell blood in the water. They sense the weakness. And had there been some level of mutual respect,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
and there would have been a broader diplomatic channel, they would not have done it in such a way, in my view, that absolutely was humiliating. And one of the things, though, that's so wild is the way our corporate media reports on things so ignorantly and the way Trump and this administration is just so freaking dumb
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
they could be utterly humiliated and not even sense the power dynamic that just shifted. But I'll tell you who recognized it. The markets did. Because remember all those days with the Biden administration, where I would go a new record with the NASDAQ, up another 2% today, a new record with the S&P, and then Fox would try to downplay the success of it. Well, now it's
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
A new record, a pretty crappy day on the NASDAQ, down almost 3%. That wasn't a record, but we got hit pretty easy.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
of the AI and all of the companies that spent billions of dollars investing in it, they started to tank. So look, that visual image right there of the AI roligarchs in the Oval Office and now China just very subtly but powerfully undercutting everything that took place. E-T-T-D. Everything Trump touches dies. How about Trump's meme coin? Well, that continues to crash.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Well, here's the thing. The broligarchs were spending all of their time in Mar-a-Lago. They were out there sucking up to Donald Trump while the people in China who were developing the counter technology were out there outworking them, basically, and outsmarting them while they spent all this time at Mar-a-Lago with their knee pads kissing the ring of Donald Trump or whatever else.

So he invites them into the Oval Office and he invites them onto Air Force One. And they're always there asking them questions. And he's always speaking all of the time and just kind of just stream of consciousness. Here's the thing. There's a reason why you shouldn't do

your mere words as the president of the united states move markets right regardless of whether the tariff is actually imposed on colombia or if colombia imposes tariffs on us or any country that almost isn't the point. The mere statement of it moves the markets because the markets have a futures component to it. And that disruptive behavior causes chaos and harms the economy.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
The economy abhors chaos. International relations abhors chaos. The media loves it because they're like, oh, this is great. This is a reality show. Oh my gosh. And it's like, no, that's not what If you want to get that, if you get off on that stuff, then maybe watch those reality shows. Watch movies. This is the real world where you need to behave at a bare minimum like a grownup, like an adult.

Speaking of which, a literal person died, a January Sixer died, who was someone who was pardoned by Donald Trump in Indiana. Someone who attacked police. Guess what he did when Trump released them? He attacked police. And guess what happened? The police shot and killed them.

Then maybe we can take a step up and behave like a professional. And then maybe we take a step up and say, behave like a leader. And then maybe you take a step up and then it's like a leader of a large organization. And then maybe we can just graduate to behaving like the leader of a major company and then like a leader of the country. Maybe we do that.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
As President Biden was shifting strategically the semiconductor industry here to the United States, now Trump's announcing tariffs on American corporations that are already being hit by this bad news of deep seek undermining them from China. This stuff is idiotic.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And again, the corporate media, you turn it on for a second, I turn it right off because I'm like, what are they even, focus on what is actually happening right now, people.

Who would have thought that if you release people who kill police and attack police and try to do it, they would do it again? I don't know. Maybe everybody with common sense.

You had that Friday night massacre where Donald Trump unlawfully fired all of those inspectors, generals, somewhere between... 14 and 17 of these inspector generals got fired.

The MeidasTouch Podcast

the apex predator nation and its manifest destiny for us to crush them. Like that's literally what these MAGA Republican members of Congress, they're calling themselves the apex predators of the world. And that manifest destiny means we should crush these other nations. And meanwhile, All China's out there doing is saying, hey, we respect your culture. We respect our bilateral relations.

Can we help you build something? And whether you're like that CCP propaganda or not, How do you think Colombia is looking at this right now? On the one hand, they're being nice.

But what's Donald Trump doing? all is happening. Golfing, of course. He's posting memes of himself. He posted an AI meme of himself looking like a mobster because that's normal behavior. I mean, again, you won't hear any of this from corporate media. That's Trumpian Trump. He posts photos.

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
How about Donald Trump posting not the American flag, but himself on the American flag saying, save America 2024. Dude, it's 2025. Are you going to keep running the 2024 campaign? It's over. Biden's not the president anymore, unfortunately. Kamala is not the president, unfortunately. It's you. You were running it. So all of these things that are happening, guess what? They're your fault.

He's also ordered the Department of Justice to do a, quote, special project. Where's he borrowing that name from? Putin with Putin's special operation. I mean, do they only have like one move, these authoritarians? The special project. And what's your special project? It is investigating and criminally prosecuting the prosecutors who were involved in January 6th cases and in Trump cases.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And they're quite literally your fault when you're out there making these absurd and ridiculous statements like this. When we go back, I want to talk about that. I want to talk about the chaos that's there. I want to talk about Trump's Friday night massacres of these inspector generals embroiled in all of this litigation now. By the way, these people who Trump fired,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
They were the people who Trump hired. They're Trump's people. Like, I don't think that's getting enough attention. Biden couldn't fire these people because Biden followed the law and Congress passed laws saying you can't fire these people. MAGA wanted them in because they're like Trump appointed them. So these inspector generals will hold Biden's feet to the fire. Trump fired him.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
without giving them the 30 days notice under the law that's needed, and without providing specific justification to Congress in writing, that is very clearly stated in the law if you're going to do those terminations. Trump fired his own people because he said his own people weren't sufficiently loyal enough. Okay? That's what went down. We'll talk about that and more.

You've seen our reporting on Donald Trump terminating somewhere between 14 and 17 inspectors general. These are individuals who are appointed by a president confirmed by the Senate. They can only be fired under specific instances. You have to, for circumstances that require some sort of justification that you have to state very specifically and you have to give justification to Congress.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
These are individuals, they're sometimes called watchdogs. They're embedded in different agencies and departments, and they're there to investigate crimes within the agency, fraud within the agency, waste within the agency. Many of these individuals were appointed during Trump's term, and they remained on because Biden couldn't fire them because there was no reason

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
that you had to give you had to follow the law you had to give specific justification and these individuals despite being brought on by donald trump they were taking their jobs seriously and you know not all to the what we would like but they were at least handling it enough with the job description that Trump said, we got to get rid of these people.

So Trump basically fired his own people on Friday night after Hegseth was confirmed. It was notable that he waited until after Hegseth was confirmed because you had certain inspector general hawks, whatever the heck that means, Republicans, certain Republicans like Chuck Grassley, who may have voted another way. Who knows what these Republicans, they have literally zero spine.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
But on the Hegseth nomination, which was a 50-50 tie, first time that ever happened with a defense secretary. Defense secretaries are always like, usually like overwhelmingly agreed to because you don't pick somebody with zero experience who's never like led an organization before or never led a military command. I think he led a
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
nonprofit exit, but then was forced out of both due to a lot of serious issues in his judgment. That's an understatement right there. But anyway, Trump fired them, then they fired back and they said, okay, well, we're not leaving. We're going to sue you because you didn't follow the law, which required 30 days notice, and you never provided any justification to Congress.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
So these are unlawful terminations. And we're not leaving, to which I think Donald Trump's going to say, Supreme Court gave me absolute immunity. I can do whatever. You can't sue me for any of this stuff. Good luck. And they're going to go file litigation, I think, soon for their wrongful terminations against the government. We'll be fighting that. And by the way,

He has Maga Mike Johnson do interviews and J.D. Vance do interviews and they go crazy. We never said that or look, it's going to take a lot of time. We never said it was going to happen right away.

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
They have massively valuable lawsuits. So even if they're forced out, they're going to get tens of millions of dollars, I think, in verdicts when they sue the government because it's a patently on its face, unlawful termination. And they're going to sue for money and they're going to say, you fired me illegally. And I think they're going to win that.

Also, Donald Trump has fired all of the DOJ prosecutors who were involved in his cases, January 6th related cases as well. And he's ordered his Department of Justice to investigate criminally All of the prosecutors were who were involved. So he wants to prosecute the prosecutors. So he's actually implemented that. Talking about these January 6th insurrectionists.

I don't know how you could view the past week objectively as not the biggest failure ever. From starting unnecessary trade wars, ceding America's role internationally, to pardoning Oath Keepers and Proud Boys like actual terroristic groups and individuals who tried to kill police. And we're hearing all of these stories now about people who tried to kill the police. Guess what?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
They tried doing it again. And because that's what happens when you let out cop killers on the street. So this guy, Matthew Huddle, a 42-year-old who served time for his role on the January 6th Capitol attack and was pardoned by Donald Trump, was shot and killed by a Jasper County sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop in Indiana following... An altercation with the officer.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Police say Huddle was armed and resisted arrest. Who would have thought that armed people who were going after cops on January 6th would just continue to go after cops? And that's the thing. With all of these, you know, like the... fraternal order of police that supported Donald Trump and all of these police groups that, you know, that supported Donald Trump.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
It's like, first off, Trump hates unions. Okay. So for all of these unions, I know that president Biden didn't bring you cold pizza and president Biden didn't color the American flag blue, you know, and do performative crap like that. But he gave you the resources and tried to give you more resources and more money to which Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans blocked.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
All we have to do is pay more for groceries and then we can kick out all them illegals. That's literally what they're saying. That's their shift right there. Trump started a trade war with Columbia. He then made a fake deal and pretended they came up with some great solution, which was basically the prior status quo.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Like imagine being a union where your goal is to have more overtime, more money, you know, more rights, more safety, more protections. Biden was giving it to you, but Trump gave you cold pizza while taking away it. And you're like, oh, I'm going to go with the cold pizza. I guess I'm going to go with the cold pizza because he painted the flag blue and he said thin blue line.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
So I guess because he said thin blue line, I'm, I'm with him. And because Trump like supported some of the cops who engaged in acts that I think other cops should objectively look at as problematic, but because Trump was like, we're with them. So he's with us. He's with us. It's just a very strange. It's a strange concept to me. Like what,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
When you're like a lawyer or you're a doctor and there's another lawyer or doctor who behaves horribly in your profession, you usually have your organizations try to get rid of them from the professions, not make them the heroes of your organization. But I'll save that for a completely different topic and a whole other rant, by the way.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And no one supported the blue or firefighters or first responders more than President Biden. Quite literally anything he can do, he did. But again, Trump gave him cold pizza. Donald Trump pardoned the people who tried to kill him. That was enough for a lot of these groups.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Oh, by the way, I think we have this clip of Trump on Air Force One going from Vegas to Miami for all of the Muslims who voted for Donald Trump and the Palestinians for Trump. Trump talked about what like we need to we just need to clear it all away. He said that's what he said about clean it out. Just clean it all out. Just get rid of it. Clean it all out.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And he's given other speeches about how he thinks it's like a great place to build things here. I think we have that clip just so you can all hear it. I don't like showing a lot of drum clips, but there's some stuff you just got to hear so you know I'm not blowing smoke. Here, play this clip.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
clean out that whole thing. I think using the language of ethnic cleansing is probably a massive red flag, but folks, that red flag was there before. And every time vice president Kamala Harris was out there saying, look, We need to make sure we give all of the aid to Gaza. We need to make sure we do whatever we can. We want a two-states solution.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
All I heard from a lot of people were, they're just the same. They're really just the same. And let's face it, they were not the same. I'll leave it at that. Let's show you this. This is from Doral in Florida. This is Trump's resort where he now has all of the Republicans kiss the ring, put on knee pads and show up to his hotel, pay his hotel.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
But that's still going to impact the prices of things like coffee and your landscaping and other things as well. But what's Trump doing? Don't worry, folks. He is out there golfing, giving unhinged speeches, wearing brown high heels to meet with Gavin Newsom as Gavin Newsom shook his hand so hard he didn't even know what to do and then got embarrassed and then Kind of tilted over.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And here Donald Trump announces he's putting tariffs on on semiconductors so that'll i'm sure i'm being sarcastic here that's going to be great for all of these american tech companies they're the ones who are going to have to pay this massive tax now and whether trump implements it or not this is going to rock the markets here play this clip plans put together
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
OK, so now he's attacking the CHIPS Act. where President Biden is giving $55 billion for people to move the semiconductor industry back to the United States so the United States can lead the industry. Because even though Taiwan is our ally,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
we realized during Donald Trump's mishandling of COVID that if you have the semiconductor industry overseas and supply chains break, and you don't have the semiconductor industry here, you literally can't transport the materials that are needed, the liberal chips and the infrastructure. You need to build it here in case something happens. And so Taiwan is our ally. So if you're now going to tariff
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
at what point does Taiwan just say, We're going with China. I mean, at what point do they say you broke us? Like you were supposed to be our ally. You're now screwing. You're going to impose more tariffs on Taiwan than you are on China because Trump has some weird fetish for Xi Jinping. I mean, just think about the reckless words spewing out of this idiot's mouth.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
The whole thing was very weird. Oh, and by the way, is Elon Musk, is he still in the White House? Did they kick him out of the White House? There's all this reporting that Susan Wiles, who they call the Ice Maiden, the Ice Maiden, that she kicked Elon Musk out and made him work across the street at the old executive office building. This and more. This is the Midas Touch podcast. What in the world?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
I'll show you just a few more of these super quickly. Donald Trump referring to his bloody mass deportations as, have you ever seen the movie Con Air? Well, I'll let you hear it for yourself. Play it.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Look, these deportations were happening so much so under the Biden administration that Biden had less border crossings than Trump did, or right around the same that Trump did in April of 2020 during COVID. These types of deportations, though, were happening via plane before on commercial flights or less expensive military planes.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
I think the cost for some of these planes is like close to $852,000 for Trump's, you know, trying to show in these kind of propaganda images. It's costing us like literally millions of dollars to send 80 people. And when you speak about who they're targeting for these mass deportations, like everybody agrees. criminals, terrorists should be deported. That's always been the policy.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
It's never been, let's bring the criminals and the terrorists here. That's not what it is. By the way, Americans commit crimes at a higher rate than migrants, like at a significant higher rate, right? The issue here is you've got Donald Trump and Tom Homan and his whole crew, they're out there targeting elementary schools. And then when they're asked, OK, well, why elementary schools?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
You got Tom Holman saying, well, there's MS-13 in the elementary schools. And I'm not suggesting that that may never be the case. I don't know. But what I am suggesting is they are specifically doing worksite raids right now. They're at shopping centers. They're at locations where migrants hang out. And they're trying to hit quotas. And they're not just targeting the bad guys, OK?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
They're targeting anybody who they think doesn't have papers. And one of the things we have to be very vigilant about is this plan that they have, and I want to start talking about it now, where Trump and his administration is trying to create this deal with the leader from El Salvador
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And El Salvador has all of these jails and this guy does this relentless propaganda videos where I'm sure he's got a lot of gang members in these jails. And a lot of the people look tattooed and have tattoos all over them. And they certainly look like bad people. If you look at these images of El Salvador.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
What I'm saying, like the way that people like the visuals of it with how the the with like the jail guards and the people, the images make it look like, well, there's this must be just all of these bad people here.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Brett and Shorty, how are you guys doing?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
When you start hearing from people from El Salvador, the story starts to shift a little bit that sometimes people are taken without their rights and they're thrown in there and they never know if they're going to get a family member back again. But Trump wants to bring People not from El Salvador and then bring them into the El Salvador jail system.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
So what if Trump doesn't like you or Trump thinks you look a certain way or whatever? He sends you on a trip to El Salvador.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Yeah, and that plan, we should highlight what that is, how dangerous that is, and kind of outsourcing to these things that look like concentration camps over there. I think it's a big deal. I think it certainly needs to be discussed. I'll say this as well. You just see weird nepotism stuff as well, Brett, like Tucker Carlson's son, Buckley. It's funny that Tucker Carlson's son is Buckley.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
He now is working for J.D. Vance. I mean, like, these are the people who attack DEI. So they attack a black four-star general who was leading the Defense Department, bring in Hegseth with zero experience, and, you know, now bring in, like, Tucker Carlson's kid gets a job at the VP's office. I mean...
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
you're gonna see things like this all over you know over and over and over again i don't think i think people get the clip there's all these clips of donald trump talking about elvis and the beatles and i'm like elvis and the beatles and trump saying you know on a speech where he's supposed to talk about no tax on tips you've got trump saying things like you know he does the same story that he would do on the campaign trail there's a beautiful waitress and she was so beautiful
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And I want to call her a beautiful girl, but they say I can't call her beautiful anymore. It's like, dude, just, are you going to do the policy? You're not going to do the policy, but notice Trump's pivot with no tax on tips, because that's not really what his focus was on. He doesn't really give a crap about service workers. He cares about their bosses.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
And as I said, during the first Trump administration, Trump's policy was literally no tips. It was that the business owners own the tips of the service workers. So people just paid a little bit of attention.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
what he was doing they would have figured that out and i said this whole no tax on tips thing is a tax avoidance scheme so that employers can then claim the tips of their workers and then people can say these are my tips i don't guess i don't have to pay the taxes on it but notice what he's saying now he's like but what if we did just no taxes in general no taxes and everything came from brett you said it the fascist wind-up doll

Let's bring right into focus what should be leading everything, that all of Donald Trump's campaign promises were broken. There's been no peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. That's not even a talking point.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
They're not talking about it even at all. They want us to just pretend that that was never something that happened. We're not going to pretend, and we're going to bring it up at the top of the show. Also, lower prices. They said instantly. That's what Donald Trump said, not You're going to have to wait for it.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
He goes, on day one, the prices are going to be so low, you're not even going to know what to do. You're not even going to want them to be that low. Well, that's not happened, actually. The contrary. They're now rising and rising, and they're heading to the direction where they were when inflation was at its top.

And here's the thing, because people don't necessarily understand that these goods are traded as commodities on commodities marketplaces. There's commodities marketplaces for tomatoes. for coffee, for soybeans, the same way like oil is traded. And when you create instability in the market, say by starting a trade war with Colombia, because Colombia said, look, we'll take the migrants back.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
Just don't put them in handcuffs on military planes. You have to treat the people with some modicum of dignity. And then we'll take the migrants who are Colombian back. But just don't trot them out like they're criminals and put them on military planes and bring your military jets onto our sovereign territory, to which Donald Trump said. Trade war. How dare you trade war? 25, 50% tariffs.

We're sanctioning your bank accounts. We're throwing out your diplomats from the United States. By the way, those measures sometimes don't even happen when you're literally at war with the nation. You would keep some of the diplomats there. So Trump, based on...
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
feeling disrespected over whether it was military jets or commercial flights imposed that, that then Columbia responded with its own tariffs. And then they tried to like figure out a solution. To be honest, it's still a little bit unclear where it even is. Is it here? Is it there?

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
They claim to have reached a deal and the deal is basically the same thing that was happening when Biden was in office. So there's really no actual change in the status quo, which is a typical Trump move to say, I did it. Look what I did. It's like, OK, you literally did nothing different other than you now caused chaos and causing chaos wholeheartedly.

harms the futures market for coffee beans, and it impacts the price of it, regardless of whether the tariffs hit or not, because the market is pricing in the instability into the cost of it for the future. So it's anticipating what the cost will be, and that causes volatility. So Brett, to your point, even if the tariffs don't get implemented, the act raises the price.

But voters who came out on that issue saying, you know what, no, Trump's going to be good for the economy. He's a businessman. That is gaslighting 101.

Who behaves like that in any setting, let alone the setting that he was in just there? I mean, truly bizarre. And the same thing with Trump earlier. I'd rather not answer that question. Well, too bad. Answer it and defend it. Answer it.

Yeah, more so than a net loss, a net negative, absolutely. And to your point, just the overemphasis there on credibility, like what's happening right now, I don't know how we start digging ourselves up from where Trump and Musk has positioned us within the respect of the world, because frankly, it's declining at a rapid pace. we've lost the respect of the world.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/25/25
I guess aside from Putin and Kim Jong-un, but they don't even respect Trump. They're just using him. They're making fun of him too. So where do we go from here as a society, as a country? That's going to be the biggest hurdle now going forward, as long as we can all preserve democracy in these last or next four years.

Well said, B. I'm excited to get into the show today. I just want to say this, and I'm really not being funny about those first set of clips that we watched. These are ramblings of a person who needs to be 5150. He's forgetting the deals that he's involved in, and this is the person who has the nuclear codes? And then let me just say this, too. I don't want to make this a corporate media thing.

I know I say it a lot, but the media in the room with him, come on. When you ask the question about siding with the axis of evil over our allies and Trump says, you know what? I'd rather not explain it. Self-evident. And the reporters give zero pushback, like just crickets. You're in that room. Like you have a responsibility to not fanboy over you being in that room.

It upsets me because it's like a poison pill, if you would, like a hidden poison pill where just the everyday American is just tuning in for news updates.

Thousand percent, Brett. You want to talk about weaponization of the government? You remember when Republicans were crying in that every day or every second? Look no further than what Elon Musk is doing. He quite literally bought his seat at the table, and that table just so happens to be in the Oval Office.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/17/25
I mean, when you look at Elon Musk taking questions from corporate media in the Oval Office, standing next to Donald Trump as he did earlier last week, that's a terrifying sight. People... Look, they may have voted for Donald Trump, right? Not by 50%, less than 50%. But sure as hell, nobody voted for Elon Musk.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/17/25
And now Elon Musk is seemingly making every decision that's impacting every single American and is, quite frankly, having devastating ramifications on this country and people's lives.

That's the disingenuous argument of Trump's a great businessman. That's the one for me that has always fallen flat. If you're saying, oh, no, he's a businessman.

I mean, in what world are we living in that that's actually a step up from what he said about his previous vice president, who he wanted to have murdered, if we all remember. So I can't believe JD actually that that's a bonus for JV that he doesn't want him to be the successor. But in all seriousness, what we're looking at here is it's what dictators do, right?

Trump is laying in the groundwork to install who Don Junior or Eric install his kids next, right? Keep the lineage going. That's what Trump wants. He just envisions America being run by Trumps for the next 100 plus years. It's absolutely insane to continue to play out. And now moving on to his Gaza comments, he wants to treat Gaza like a real estate deal.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/10/25
Well, we all know his track records with the real estate deals, and they're not too great. So it's an interesting turn of phrase that he used there. And then lastly, tariffs.

We saw the night of the Super Bowl with that interview of how they were making him sound like he could complete any sentence whatsoever.

Nothing much over here, but you're exactly right. I think what we've established at this MAGA, you know, this Republican Party does at this point because it's the entire party here now. is that they're just beholden to oligarchs. They don't lead for the country. They're not leading for all Americans. They're leading for the oligarchs and the billionaires.

And I'd say it's chaos for chaos sake, but it's not. It's chaos for the oligarchs. They love what's happening at the expense of the American people. It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or if you voted for Trump as just a Republican or a MAGA Republican or whatever. It doesn't matter. He's benefiting the oligarchs and the billionaires. That's plain and simple.

Perfectly said. And I just want to react really quickly to the CBS lawsuit because I think it's important here as we close out the show, something we say here quite often about Trump and this regime. If you give the guy an inch, he'll take your life. So it was widely reported a few weeks back now that CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, was –

They were talking about settling the $10 billion lawsuit, gaming out options to reduce friction with the incoming administration at the time. And this was reported in the Wall Street Journal. Trump gets wind of this. What does he do? He takes your life. He says, oh, they're going to settle at $10 billion. Huh. I wonder if they'll settle at $20 billion.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/10/25
And we'll see what we can get from them there. Like we say. this guy is just an awful human being at, at its core, just terrible person. And you cannot appease him. You cannot work with, Oh no, let me just do this. Cause then maybe he'll just, he'll leave me alone and he'll go on to the next. No, that's not how he thinks. That's not what goes on in his mind.

And I'm not saying that to be dramatic or just, you know, for the clicks and the likes. It's very obvious by his speech and what he cares to put out in public that he's not being a very serious person right now. And the only thing that I can conclude is that he is simply just not all there.

If there's a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after a night of drinking, it's with pre-alcohol. ZBiotic's pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/8/25
It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for your rough next day. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/8/25
Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. Look, I won't lie. I was a bit on the fence about pre-alcohol initially, but then while hanging out with some friends over at our local brewery, I gave it a shot and believe me, it's the real deal. When I first gave pre-alcohol a try months ago, I was at a wedding.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/8/25
I drank it before my first martini and you wouldn't believe how on top of my game I felt the very next morning. This March Madness, don't let anything sideline your celebrations.

I mean, that's just an insane sentence to even say.

And back before Bill Maher went sideways, he used to warn that this is something that he wants to bring to the states, these military-style parades.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/8/25
So whether or not he's going to do this or not, I think the obvious answer is yes. He's going to do this. And this is going to be one of the most bizarro things to take place in the streets of D.C. that we've ever, quite frankly, seen.

It's the fallacy once again of this Trump is a businessman and that's why I'm going to vote for him argument. Those folks, those voters, so much more disingenuous than the voters that would just tell you straight up, no, I like Trump's racist rhetoric and I like his awful policies.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 3/4/25
If that's why you voted for him, it's disgusting and I don't agree with it, obviously, but at least I could begin to understand, okay, you're just a shitty person. But Trump is a good businessman and he's going to do great things for the economy. I mean, you're lying to yourself. You are lying to yourself, and now you get to reap the benefits.

Absolutely. And what do we say about Donald Trump? He's a WMD, a weapon of mass distraction. It might work early on. It might be cute for your most loyal of loyalists, Donald, right? Oh, what are we going to do? We're going to rename it Gulf of America. Look over here, everyone. We're going to take over Greenland. We're going to make Canada the 51st state.

And let's be clear, there's nothing that Zelensky could have done in that meeting that would have actually appeased Trump or Vance because they were full on Russian propaganda talking points from jump. You know, they wanted Zelensky to go in there and to use a Trump verbiage here, like beg like a dog. That's what they wanted him to do.

And even then, because we all know this, when you give the guy an inch, he takes your life. It still wouldn't have been good enough. But at least for them, they would have had documentation of it. So that would have helped flatter their egos a little bit more and a little bit better.

As the economy was soaring under Biden and we were hitting record stock market highs day in and day out, remember what they also said.

Oh, this is because Donald Trump is getting ready to take office. So how can it be that the Biden economy, that the legacy of it is what is happening right now under Trump's leadership? However, when Biden was actually in office and the stock market was hitting record highs and you could actually look at your 401ks without wanting to vomit, it's unbelievable what's happening.

And that's the real thing. It's not that he's just making things up. It's what he's making up is having real world consequences and truly affecting the lives of the American people.

My cat's favorite flavor is smooth fish, and my cats prefer Smalls way more than their previous cat food. I legitimately did a taste test, put two bowls side by side, and they immediately went to Smalls. Since making the switch to Smalls, my cat has had fewer hairballs, more balanced energy, a healthier weight, a softer and shinier fur coat, and a less stinky litter box that's big.

Still not a believer in Smalls? Well, New York Magazine called Smalls the best cat food, according to veterinarians. While Buzzfeed said, my cats went completely ballistic for this stuff.

All these negative influencers, Brett, to your point exactly, they think they're like Genghis Khan. They think they're just taking over. They're going to conquer everything.

I think that was really sharp and on-the-nose messaging.

how these world leaders, they know Trump's playbook now, right? You got to treat him like the petulant child that he is. If you give him an inch, he's going to take your life, right?

And that's exactly what they're doing. They're stealing from the American people. And they're also grifting off the American people. That's what Trump and Elon continue to do. I think one of the biggest misconceptions out there, just because people aren't loud enough about it, this community is, and I'm proud of that.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/1/25
But it's just this misconception that the Republican Party is for the working class and the Republican Party is for the American taxpayer. That can't be further from the truth. Just because they go on Fox News and spout all these lies and give people scripts and fake talking points to use at their dinner parties doesn't make them true. Here's what we know.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 4/1/25
America's more chaotic under this Trump regime. Americans are less safe under the Trump regime. These prices are more expensive under the Trump regime than they were under Biden's presidency. And federal spending, as Brett just said, is higher under the Trump regime and the Elon Musk regime than it was under Biden at any point. So this is what we're dealing with.

It's a vibe shift for sure. And I think everyone's feeling that right now. Because the more, frankly, this reminds me of when DeSantis was running and the more he got in front of people, like the less people liked him. This is happening on a 10x, 100x scale with Elon Musk and Trump right now.

And that's what we are seeing. And this is becoming an ongoing theme, Brett. So Trump seems to not know a lot. When the war plan leaks, when he was first asked about that, he said he didn't know. He wasn't briefed on it. He had no idea. And the missing American troops, same thing. This seems to be a crutch of his, whether done intentionally or not. He seems to not know a lot.

Jordan. Your job as a reporter, as a journalist, is not just to echo the MAGA and right-wing talking points. It's to get to the bottom of them and to make sure that what you're reporting and putting into the world is actually factual, not just whatever bullet statement that they want, that they, these MAGA Republicans, Mike Johnson, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, want you to just regurgitate.

It's a dangerous thing. I don't like bashing on the fourth estate. Absolutely not. Are you kidding? I need to defend it at all costs. But I'm just urging every single reporter out there, please just don't be a mouthpiece for this administration. When it comes to Elon Musk, he is an egomaniac, Brett. He does truly think that when he tweets, everybody sees it. All the federal employees,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/28/25
everybody on earth, everybody in America. He thinks his tweets basically serve as law. You know, look no further than the five bullet points of what you did this week that he sent out last week that sent mass chaos throughout this country. You know, once you start ruling, dictating by... Twitter, it's a scary place to be.

And they're just such babies, too, when it comes down to it. Because when you do call them out for it, Brett, and these reporters do a nice job, and they try to get to the bottom of it, all of a sudden, transparency...
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/28/25
Not a thing. They don't want to be as transparent with you, Brett. When they're in charge, Elon Musk is in charge. He wants to fudge the numbers. And if you start to question his numbers, you're fake news. Uh-uh. That's fake news. Just like when it comes to comedy, right? When you start making fun of these people, what do they say? Oh, that's not funny. That's mean. That's hurtful.

all right we're just gonna what do the kids say ben glazing i think that's what he was doing elon musk over there just glazing musk i mean what in the heck were we just watching there as we all know the tesla stock too is nose diving over the course of the last month or so and that's just because people are disgusted with the face of tesla Elon Musk, be careful.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 3/21/25
So I was just saying, the more this MAGA crowd tries to boost Elon's stock with the public, Tesla is going to continue to nosedive. He can't escape it at this point. There's no turning back. If you run a committee where you allow big balls to go and fire grandpa, you know, I'm going to be fucking mad. I'm going to be really, really pissed. Sorry, I swore. I'm going to be mad.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 3/21/25
And it's gross to have this guy going in there cutting social security, cutting government jobs, completely unchecked. It's unlike anything we've ever seen. The whole Tesla thing, it has to do with Elon Musk being a piece of crap human being that should be nowhere near government, let alone acting as a de facto president.

MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
cowardly cowardly count this administration is the most cowardly administration imaginable and we need to continue to call them out and expose all these moves and how scared they actually are of the american people of the press of you and they're absolutely humiliating like it it is gross to me that i have to be adjacent to a donald trump as a fellow american that this is the person that's supposed to be representing you know my interest and my you know well-being and the health of all americans
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
Because it couldn't be further from the truth. Trump is a fool. And this plays out time and time and time again. He takes the bait every single time and looks like a complete lunatic on the global stage, not just here in America, but globally across the world. I mean, it is utter buffoonery what we're seeing play out right now. Quite frankly, it's embarrassing and disappointing.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
But what did we expect, you know, other than this chaos?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
The older I get, the more I find myself wanting to be more intentional about the way I live, eat, and take care of my body. That's why I'm so happy I found MOSH. MOSH, which you may have heard about on Shark Tank, was founded by Maria Shriver and her son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, with a simple mission, to create a conversation about brain health through food, education, and research.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's, and since then, she and Patrick have dedicated themselves to finding ways to help other families dealing with this debilitating disease. Mosh joined forces with the world's top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
With eight delicious flavors, including a plant-based one in peanut butter and chocolate, each Mosh bar is made with ingredients that support brain health like ashwagandha, lion's mane, collagen, and omega-3s. And now Mosh bars come with a new look and new formulation featuring a game-changing brain-boosting ingredient that you won't find in any other bar.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
Mosh is now the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium nootropic that supplies the brain with a patent form of citicholine. But here's the best part to make you feel good. Mosh donates a portion of all proceeds from your order to fund gender-based brain health research through the Women's Alzheimer's Movement. Why gender-based?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
Because two-thirds of all Alzheimer's patients are women. MOSH is working closely to close the gap between women and men's health research. Personally, I love the taste of my MOSH bars. My favorite is the peanut butter crunch, which I have each morning before I head off to the gym.

one thousand percent brett one thousand percent and i would i just want to go back to your point about these uh these these mega npcs right how you're talking about how they're all must be reading from the same script well in many cases they are right because where are they getting their news from all the same sources right they live on elon's x formerly twitter they eat that stuff up daily everything that that algorithm continues to push the algorithm controlled by the owner elon musk
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
And then if they're not on, say you're not on X or a social media outlet, then where are you? Well, if you're a right-wing MAGA, you're probably on Fox News, digesting those same talking points, which lend themselves, if we're doing concentric circles here, a magnificent overlap of what you see on Fox to what you see on the talking points being pushed out on social media.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
And that's why it feels like a regurgitation of a script that we see from these NPC MAGAs. It's because day in and day out, they are getting... hammered with these talking points. And they only know that to be true because they don't care to do any other sort of thinking outside of that.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
I don't blame them necessarily because you have to understand this is a billions, trillions of dollar operation to just propagandize these people. It's hard to pull them out of the bubble. I understand once you're sucked into it, how quickly you could go down a rabbit hole and truly understand, or at least think you understand that what you're watching is the truth. It's a scary thing.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
But here's the thing. This Republican Party, this MAGA Republican Party that we see in 2025, they're not the party for the average American. Uh-uh. No, they're not. No, siree. They are the party of oligarchs and billionaires and the ultra 1%. They are not the party, this MAGA Republican Party in 2025, they are not the party for the working class.
The MeidasTouch Podcast

For any new listeners, just want to say thank you for tuning in. Excited about that. This is an egoless movement. You know what I mean? Like we at the Midas Touch Network, it's not about us, the brothers, Ben, Brett, or Jordy, who may have founded it. We're the vehicle to get out the pro-democracy voice and the ideals.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
We always say it's this community, the Midas Mighty community that makes us want to get up every single day and get the truth out there. And it's up to y'all to continue to run with the receipts that we bring to these podcasts to show your circles. So I just wanted to thank you for tuning in. We're going to keep this thing going. Benji, where to?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
And people are pissed. It's very clear. People are angry. I mean, they are taking to the streets. We cover the protests here just like we showed right there, Brennan, that shot. What's happening here is this entire administration is just gaslighting the entire American people. Gaslighting the world, right? Donald Trump, no tax on tips. Where is that? Oh, no. Look at this shiny object over here.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
Look at this over here. Everything that he essentially campaigned on that got people excited, I mean, the no tax on tips one is like the most infuriating one to me because that was such a staple of his campaign. But yet he dodges every question when asked about it. It's an unbelievable thing. You look at Duffy on Fox News. I mean, gaslighting 101.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
There's more plane crashes under the Biden administration than the Trump administration. Y'all have been in office now for three weeks. I'm hearing about a plane incident every other day at this point. What are we talking about? And then the stats that Duffy threw out, I'm not going to go point by point, but just completely made up, like just completely falsified.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
And this goes back to our conversation earlier about the NPC scripts, right? Because now that's the Fox News touchpoint that are getting the MAGA talking points and the scripts out there. Actually, did you know there was more plane crashes under Biden administration than the Trump administration? And that's what they roll out.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
And it's just an unbelievably gaslit administration that is infuriating the American people. And that's why we are seeing such an energized community here, the Midas Touch Network, and taking to the streets all across the country.

Excited, excited for the show. A lot of ground to cover, but Brett's your point exactly. When Elon says that, you know, Americans are just going to feel a little bit of pain at first. He he's not talking about Elon and the oligarchs and the billionaires. He's not. He's talking about the Americans at large who aren't the top 1%, who quite frankly make up way more than the majority of the country.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
It's absolutely disgusting to see Elon Musk continue to do these just bizarro interviews with Donald Trump on Fox News, acting as a de facto president. Make no mistake, Elon Musk is just as much the president as Donald Trump. And don't be gaslit by those around you or corporate media into thinking that anything that you're seeing right now is normal. None of this is normal.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/20/25
And it's okay to feel that this isn't normal because quite frankly and very directly, it's not. So we're not going to let anything slide here. We have a lot of ground to cover. Benji, where do you want to start?

Trump SELF-DESTRUCTS + Meidas LANDS Biden EXCLUSIVE
Perfectly said, B, and I just want to piggyback on that. I just want to say your descriptor was perfect. It was a palate cleanser type of interview because I felt that it was a more informative interview than I've seen in the past four years of people trying to be combative and making themselves the center. It's something...
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SELF-DESTRUCTS + Meidas LANDS Biden EXCLUSIVE
You know, we make a conservative effort here if not to do is really put ourselves at the center of the attention, at the center of the stories, because it's not about us. We're a conduit for pro-democracy voices. So although you see Ben in the chair and Ben, you did such a wonderful job, it was incredible. I must have watched it like three or four times today. Really spectacular job.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SELF-DESTRUCTS + Meidas LANDS Biden EXCLUSIVE
Although you see Ben in the chair, it's the Midas mighty in this pro-democracy community that's in the room asking those questions. And I think you see that reflected in the questions and the pushback that Ben gave during the interview. This interview, again, does not happen without this community, without the pro-democracy community, without the Midas Mighty.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump SELF-DESTRUCTS + Meidas LANDS Biden EXCLUSIVE
Y'all are the engine that keeps this thing going. So thank you very much. And we're here, again, to just be amplifiers of the voice of pro-democracy. And that's what we're going to do every damn day.

It's the collective we hear, this pro-democracy community that made that interview with President Biden in the Roosevelt Room possible. Why? Because truth is golden, because facts matter, because this pro-democracy community is relentless every single day and your voices are being heard louder and louder and louder every single day.

That's my issue with the hearings at least this day. Given the makeup of the Senate – didn't force out the nominees up until this point, they're confirmed. I hate to say, there's nothing that any of these folks could say up when they're being questioned, aside from I hate Donald Trump, that would get them removed from the cabinet position that they're going for. And so I do want to say this.

I like it for the Bernie Sanders moment. And I think Dems in general need to get more pointed with their questions instead of these open-ended, more ambiguous questions.

Yeah, exactly, Brett. You look around, you look at all these buyouts for government officials. I mean, it's exactly that plan. How terrifying is that? It's happening right in front of your eyes. Look, there's no other way to put this. The Republican Party is pro-oligarch. They hate you, American citizen. MAGA base, they hate you. They want to make you suffer. You heard it.

You heard it right there from the horse's mouth. That's one of your elected officials saying that you need to feel pain in order to then later feel better. But that's not even truly what he's saying.

Thanks. Delete me. As you know, I'm a dad, and, well, I've just been having the greatest time ever. Here's the thing, I never knew just how important it was what we give our children. Typical children's vitamins are basically candy in disguise. They're filled with two teaspoons of sugar, unhealthy chemicals, and other gummy junk that growing kids should never eat.

That's why Hia was created, the pediatrician-approved superpower chewable vitamin. Now, while most children's vitamins are filled with 5 grams of sugar and can contribute to a variety of health issues, Hya is made with zero sugar and zero gummy junk, yet it tastes great and is perfect for picky eaters.

So listening to McCrone and Carney speak, you could just – it pains them. Like they're not happy about this, this move that's happening right now. It pains them what's happening. And they just – they see the field and now they have to kind of just play with what's in front of them. And it's incredibly disappointing just to see this. I've never –

I've almost never been more disappointed, you know, to be here, to be an American right now because of what Donald Trump is doing and making our brand, our America look like. We look like fools. We do. We look stupid. We look insane. We look insane on a global stage. And it's super frustrating.

fucks everything up. And it goes so beyond that. It is so devastating the impacts that Trump has done to this country. And then he's going to hold up a Trump $5 million card with his face on it and talk about how y'all could come into this country now because I'm going to do... He's making us look like fools at the expense of the American taxpayer and the American citizen. And it's distressing.

Like, don't be gaslit by maybe some people around you, but especially corporate media, into thinking that what we're witnessing right now is normal, because it ain't. None of this is normal.

Ben, real quick though too, and not to bang on this drum too much here, but Corporate media, and I don't want to pick on this person asking the question. I don't even know actually who that was who was asking it, but it's just like, what are you doing? Don't let yourself get played like that. You have a question. It's a legitimate question. I know you want the access.

I mean, when you look at Hassett, Ben, I've never seen a guy with such a small mouth lie so big. It's unbelievable watching this. I mean, when you look at Fox News, it's just state-run television. It is truly chaotic watching that. And it's just...

Oh, man, it frustrates me watching this, knowing the lies that they're spewing are hurting so many Americans and especially the Fox viewer, the lies that they're spouting to their own people. And we know we know from the massive lawsuit what they think of their listeners and their viewers. They don't care about them. Right. We've all seen those texts.
