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.

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.

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

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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.

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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.

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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.

MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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. Literally, ETTD, everything Trump touches dies. 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
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
So many people are losing track. Like, was it 12? Was it 14? Was it 17? Was it 20? They're saying, look, we ain't leaving. You violated the law in how you terminated us. So prepare for litigation, Donald. Also, Donald Trump unlawfully firing all of these civil servants and Department of Justice prosecutors who were in any way involved with any of the Trump cases.

If you read the bottom Chiron, what did it say? It said Columbia president. caves to deportations. Let's be clear. Colombia is a sovereign nation. Why are you mocking your trading partners? They didn't cave to anything. They embrace what the status quo was under Biden, and they act like, look, Trump dominated them. Then you have all these other MAGA Republicans out there being like, we are
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
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
The MeidasTouch Podcast
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.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
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.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS - 1/27/25
tariffs. We don't need taxes anymore. Why should anybody pay taxes? We can just deal with tariffs because he says America was at its most powerful in 1870.

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?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
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.

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. As a leader, you should want to lead for all Americans, not just the ones who voted for you. But very clearly, that's not how Donald Trump wants to lead.

My cat is part of the family, plain and simple. So I want them to have the best food that money can buy.

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.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
MeidasTouch RESPONDS to Trump FOLDING + MORE
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. My cat's breath is much better and their fur is much softer ever since I switched to Smalls. Smalls also has a bunch of amazing treats and snacks that you can add to your order.

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. And they're just such keyboard warriors at the end of the day. The messaging from Tim Walls, when he called them weird, should have never been turned away from. I think that was really sharp and on-the-nose messaging.

These MAGA influencers are weird. The MAGA culture is weird. And when you look at one of their dear leaders, an Elon Musk running this Department of Government Efficiency, Doge, what is he doing when he gets the opportunity to actually do things? He's making things wildly inefficient.

Zuckerberg and Musk and all the all the like they have no tact about it. And so obvious. I just have to imagine and hope.

It's disgusting. It has no place in this country as far as how government should run. And yet Donald Trump seems to not care. But you know who does care?

Great point there, Brett and Ben. The thing here, too, is the MAGA talking points are going to dry up really quickly if they haven't already. You know, it's easy to wage culture wars, if you will, when you're not the party in charge.

And as, you know, unfortunately for this country, as the decisions, you know, become more and more chaotic and the leadership or lack thereof at the top becomes more disjointed. Ultimately, this MAGA party is going to have no one but, you know, to blame but themselves. Now, they won't, of course, but the American people are smart. And they will start to see through their shtick.
