Even as a lame duck president during this transitionary period, President Biden is taking the steps to protect some key economic accomplishments of his that frankly, benefit the American people. He has to outmaneuver Donald Trump, who plans to enact some devastating economic policies that we're already feeling right now, even during the transition. So as I said, I'm not going to play videos or audio of Donald Trump anytime soon. But I'll remind you that during the election, Donald Trump said the following. Donald Trump said that the CHIPS and Science act, which brought brings thousands of manufacturing jobs back to America, bringing the semiconductor industry to America. He says it's so bad. And he says that he wants to replace the CHIPS act with tariffs that will raise prices on the middle class. So we already see Walmart making announcements that their prices are going up, up, up to prepare for Donald Trump's devastating tariffs. So for everyone who thought, oh, Donald Trump's tariffs, that's not a tax on, that's a tax on China, well, as we said, it's a tax on Americans pass through to consumers. Donald Trump, like he's done his entire life, ding, ding, ding, he has lied to you. Take a look at this though. President Biden just Trump proofed his hallmark CHIPS Act. This is the act that brings the semiconductor industry here to the United states, investing over $52 billion in America's semiconductor industry. Here's how Newsweek talks about Biden having to outmaneuver Trump to help the United States. Even though if Biden was trying to be selfish about it or Trumpy about it, Biden may just be like, I'm out. What, what, what do I need to do? But Biden realizes that he's a president still for all Americans. Here's what it says. In a move to secure America's semiconductor industry, President Joe Biden's administration finalized a $6.6 billion award to Taiwan Semiconduct Manufacturing Co. TSMC for the construction of chip factories in Phoenix, Arizona. The announcement comes just two weeks after Donald Trump's victory, signaling an effort to lock in the deal before the new administration takes office. Because Donald Trump doesn't want the investments in America like this. Tsmc, the world's largest contract chipmaker and supplier to major technology companies including Apple, Nvidia, AMD and Qualcomm, plans to invest $65 billion to build three State of the art semiconductor fabrication plants in Arizona. Just think about that right now. President Biden fighting to bring these factories here into even a state like Arizona. That did not vote for him this time. This is how he's spending his remaining days in office. Thousands of facilities are expected to create thousands of jobs and strengthen the United States. Position in the global semiconductor supply chain. The first TSMC plant is expected to be fully operational within a few months. For the first time in decades, an American manufacturing plant will be producing leading edge chips used in our most advanced technologies, Biden said. The $6.6 billion award to TSMC is part of the Chips and Science act, one of Biden's signature legisl achievements. Signed Into Law in August 2022, the act allocates $52.7 billion for semiconductor research, manufacturing and workforce development in the U.S. the timing of this world is critical. Trump's previous statements have raised concerns that his incoming administration might attempt to derail subsidies aimed at fostering the domestic chip industry. Just think about it. Trump's plan is to attack American domestic chip manufacturers, literally to sh the factories so that he can tariff China, which really means tariff American companies, tariff, add taxes to imports that get passed on to consumers. It's quite literally the most asinine economic plan that exists, full stop. The article goes on to cite the quote that I gave you at the beginning of this video and Donald Trump says, Taiwan took our chips business from us. I mean, how stupid are we? I mean, how stupid are you, Donald Trump? Because that happened when you were in office. One of the reasons why there was inflation, one of the reasons why America struggled as it did during COVID which was during your term, was because supply chains broke down. You made no infrastructure investment, zero, zip, zilch. Instead you did what you do best, or I should say worst. You showed up with fake golden shovels at various factories and you said, we're building this and then never built it, and then blamed whoever on it. Migrants, this group, that group. Instead of actually doing. Because you are a screwer and not a doer. So you blamed it on Taiwan. President Biden then brought the semiconductor industry here, making sure that, hey, Taiwanese companies, you, if you're going to do this, you got to work in the United States, employ Americans. Not over in Taiwan. President Biden brought that back to the United States. Taiwan's economy minister denied Donald Trump's attacks on Taiwan now bring billions of dollars in jobs to the United States. Of course, Taiwan is not stealing the chip industry from the U.S. the chips we made are commissioned by U.S. companies which still have the highest gross margin. Trump might have some misunderstanding on such matters and we will clarify that. See how privileged Trump is? There's a misunderstanding. Oh, he's a freaking idiot. He is a menace. He is an idiot. He is an anarchist. He is all of those. And that's what we need to call him out for goes on to say House Speaker Mike Johnson, who voted against the CHIPS act, initially echoed Trump sentiments. I mean, you got Mega Mike Johnson saying he would work to repeal the CHIPS Act. I mean, you're working to repeal the act that like literally gives tens of billions of dollars to kind of key states. But that's what they do. Look, even Vice President Kamala Harris saying the following. Thanks to our CHIPS act and Science act and our Inflation Reduction act, we have more than doubled factory construction spending, brought manufacturing jobs back home, and secured American supply.

Ch okay, you've heard us rave about Zbiotics pre alcohol probiotic. I have super exciting news. Their team just released another product to help with everyday challenges. Now, let's face it, there's no diet out there that's perfectly balanced. Either I'm eating too much of this or not enough of that. And that's why I started using sugar to fiber probiotic mix every day. Today's modern diet makes it really difficult to keep things balanced. Extra sugar is found in so many foods, and no matter how hard I try, I'm not eating as much fiber as I want to. While getting enough fiber is a challenge in itself, the PhD microbiologists over at ZBiotics understand that extra sugar is all but impossible to avoid these days. And 95% of Americans don't get enough fiber. So they genetically engineered a probiotic to convert some extra sugar from our everyday diet into a prebiotic fiber called lavin. This leads to a more balanced microbiome, the key to a healthy gut. One stick pack of sugar to fiber and you'll get a daily dose of fiber from the foods you already eat. I started drinking sugar to fiber every day because I liked having a way to get closer to my daily recommended dose of fiber without needing to change my diet. And I really liked knowing that this fiber was coming from extra sugar that I was already eating and didn't need. Every day I put a pack of sugar to fiber in my morning coffee. I love knowing that I'm supporting my gut health with this routine. With the holidays around the corner, I know that I'm going to be consuming a bit more sugar. With sugar to fiber, I can stay on track and not let the season throw me off course. Go to ZBiotics.com Midus and use Midus at checkout for 15% off any first time orders of ZBiotics Probiotics.

She's talking about that after she lost the election, thanks to the CHIPS and Science act, the Biden Harris administration investing now, in addition to Arizona, $300 million in projects aimed at boosting a chip packaging in Georgia, California and Arizona. Again, he lost Georgia and Arizona, but also investments there. We're also learning that Global Foundries secured $1.5 billion CHIPS act award as the Biden administration races to allocate funds before Inauguration Day. The New York chip maker plans $13 billion in investments across New York and Vermont, creating 10,000 jobs over the next decade. Again, I want to reiterate, while Donald Trump is planning policies to wreck our economy, even right now, President Biden knowing that Trump could potentially get credit for these accomplishments, is doing these things right here. So let's talk about what Trump's focused on right now. Trump, Elon, what they doing? Let me tell you. So one of the things that they are calling for, like the Republican Study Committee is calling for $4.5 trillion in cuts over 10 years in Medicaid children's health insurance programs, the other type of chip. So while President Biden is bringing jobs here with the CHIPS act maga, Republicans are attacking children's health insurance programs. Oh, and they want to get rid of the Affordable Care Act Marketplace as afge, which represents American federal employee says, Elon Musk says he could cut federal spending by 2 trillion. If you think this won't impact Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, food assistance for low income families, veteran benefits and so much more, you've got another thing coming. Well, let's take a look who Elon Musk is praising right now. He's praising the leader of Argentina and Elon Musk says impressive progress in Argentina. Who is Donald Trump previously praising? Victor Orban. Well, let's take a look at that. Okay. Right now here's an article as of September 27, 2024 and then another one from November. Poverty in Argentina soars to more than 50% as government austerity bites. Elon Musk did say that what he wants to inflict upon us is economic hard. He said there needs to be a shock to the system. He says Americans, we all need to experience serious hardship right now so we could learn our lessons. He says and then things will get better after we suffer. He says that's what he and the mag is saying, that we need to suffer. And then he says in the future things could be better. But it's time for suffering to begin. Could you believe that that's what they're running on us are suffering? Also since that September article, Argentina's poverty right now is 53% of Argentinians live in poverty right now. So for them to say great work going on in Argentina when objectively 53% live in poverty, I guess that's what they mean by economic hardship that they want to impose on us. But Donald Trump's doing his own deals for himself right now. We're learning that from a New York Times article that Trump media is looking to potentially acquire a crypto payment service right now because that somehow benefits we the people. I'm being sarcastic. The Economist front cover has a photo of Elon Musk. It says Disruptor in Chief and he's looming over the White House in this photo. And they write the Musk led reforms risk creating a new problem for the country, the emergence of a combustible corrupt oligarchy. Well, well done folks. We had before a very stable government where people were making fun of President Biden for being too sleepy. Things were running on time, the trains were running on time. Things were going well. But now we've got a combustible corrupt oligarchy here. Very, very well done. That's seems to be something that regular Americans want. I'm being sarcastic of of course JP Morgan sees unemployment rising to 4.5%. The Walmart CFO said that they are raising their prices up, up, up, up, up because they're preparing for tariffs. And let me just show you, if I may, to conclude right here, these charts, I think they're helpful right here. The resurgence of US Manufacturing under the Biden administration has been amazing. As JP JP writes. Just take a look at these numbers right here. Biden did what Donald Trump promised to do, but failed to do. And JP said Harris needs to be talking more about this. I agree she probably needed to talk more about that. But that didn't happen. And Americans would rather have the crappy situation than the up, up, up, up, up because, well, that propaganda I guess, was too strong. Take a look at this objective data as well. Manufacturing is booming under President Biden. There's a real manufacturing boom taking place right now and Donald Trump threatens to squander it. Look, I just got a candid to President Biden again. He could have been petty. He could have, you know, looked at states like Arizona and Georgia that went red and voted for Trump this time and been like, oh, I'm whatever, like that's what Trump would have done, right? You think Trump would have helped states gain jobs and get billions of dollars? No. Trump wouldn't even provide like aid to wildfires in California because he was so intimidated by Gavin Newsom. So he wouldn't provide aid. I mean, that's what we're dealing with, the Trump. But President Biden's like, I gotta, I gotta make sure that I am good on my word and protect Arizona. I gotta help Georgia. I gotta help all these states even if they didn't vote for me. And I got to protect it from the devastation Trump's going to cause rather than just say we'll let Trump cause the devastation. Just think about that. Think about that hit.

Release Date: November 23, 2024
Overview
In this compelling episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers delve deep into the ongoing political battle between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Titled "Biden OUTMANEUVERS Trump with URGENT Plan to Stop Him," the episode provides a thorough analysis of Biden's strategic moves to solidify his administration's achievements while countering Trump's aggressive policy proposals. Through a blend of sharp commentary, brotherly banter, and insightful discussions, the Meiselas brothers offer listeners a clear understanding of the current political landscape and its implications for America's future.
Key Sections
The episode opens with a detailed examination of President Biden's efforts to protect and expand key economic initiatives, specifically focusing on the CHIPS and Science Act. The Meiselas brothers highlight how Biden is "outmaneuvering" Trump by reinforcing policies that bolster American manufacturing and technological advancement.
Political Commentator [02:23]: “Even as a lame duck president during this transitionary period, President Biden is taking the steps to protect some key economic accomplishments of his that frankly, benefit the American people.”
This section underscores Biden's commitment to sustaining jobs and enhancing the United States' position in the global semiconductor supply chain.
Transitioning to Trump's stance, the brothers discuss his plans to replace the CHIPS Act with tariffs aimed at China. They argue that these tariffs, rather than being a targeted tax on China, would ultimately burden American consumers.
Political Commentator [02:23]: “Donald Trump said that the CHIPS and Science act, which brought thousands of manufacturing jobs back to America, bringing the semiconductor industry to America. He says it's so bad. And he says that he wants to replace the CHIPS act with tariffs that will raise prices on the middle class.”
The commentary emphasizes the immediate negative effects of such tariffs, citing rising prices at major retailers like Walmart as tangible evidence.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Biden's substantial investments in the semiconductor sector, particularly through collaborations with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The brothers highlight the strategic importance of these investments in securing America's technological future.
Political Commentator [02:23]: “President Joe Biden's administration finalized a $6.6 billion award to Taiwan Semiconduct Manufacturing Co. TSMC for the construction of chip factories in Phoenix, Arizona.”
The investment aims to establish cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication plants in the U.S., creating thousands of jobs and strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities.
The brothers offer a scathing critique of Trump's policy approaches and political alliances. They point out perceived hypocrisies and missteps in Trump's strategies, particularly his alliances with figures like Elon Musk and leaders from Argentina, despite substantial economic hardships in those regions.
Political Commentator [09:30]: “Elon Musk says he could cut federal spending by 2 trillion. If you think this won't impact Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, food assistance for low income families, veteran benefits and so much more, you've got another thing coming.”
Additionally, Trump's media maneuvers, such as the potential acquisition of a crypto payment service, are portrayed as self-serving rather than beneficial to the American populace.
Concluding the episode, the brothers assess the broader economic implications of both administrations' policies. They argue that Biden's focus on domestic investment and manufacturing is yielding positive results, as evidenced by the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing sectors and job creation.
Political Commentator [11:25]: “We're also learning that Global Foundries secured a $1.5 billion CHIPS act award as the Biden administration races to allocate funds before Inauguration Day.”
Conversely, Trump's proposed cuts to Medicaid and attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act are presented as threats to essential social services and economic stability.
Political Commentator [11:25]: “While President Biden is bringing jobs here with the CHIPS act, Republicans are attacking children's health insurance programs.”
The episode wraps up with a strong endorsement of Biden's leadership, contrasting it with the contentious and potentially destabilizing policies advocated by Trump. The brothers emphasize the importance of supporting democracy and safeguarding economic progress amidst political turbulence.
