What is dadication?
Father
The thing that drives me every day as a dad is Dariona. We call him Dae Dae for short. Every day he's hungry for something, whether it's attention, affection, knowledge. And there's this huge responsibility in making sure that when he's no longer under my wing that he's a good person. I want him to be able to sit back one day and go, we worked together. We did a good job.

That's dadication.

You had people walking out of Donald Trump's disastrous speech in Pittsburgh early, while he basically lied about everything to steelworkers for US Steel who are about to have their lives ruined by Donald Trump and they don't even fully realize it yet. You have physical altercations breaking out in the White House with Treasury Secretary Scott Besant getting into a physical fight with Elon Musk. You have Elon Musk Musk showing up in the Oval Office for some bizarre press conference with a black eye on the heels of a New York Times story saying he would consistently abuse Ketamine and mushrooms. While he was destroying the federal government and destroying your life, you had Elon Musk looking like he was in some condition that clearly looked very impaired. And again, this is the person destroying your life and your family's life. You have Donald Trump saying that he's now imposing a 50% across the board tariff on steel into the United States, which will cost tens of thousands of jobs here in the United States. Hundreds of thousands, possibly, as a lot of our manufacturers domestically buy steel as a component part for the things that they're building. Also, it should be noted that Donald Trump, when he would build buildings or when he would slop his name onto buildings, he would frequently use Chinese steel, which he called shoddy today, but that's the type of steel that he would use. And you have Donald Trump getting mocked internationally as the international community calls him a taco. Should we do a choose your own adventure? Where do you want to start? Okay, why don't we start quickly In India where Donald Trump is getting mocked as a taco. Trump always chickens out. This is. Well, I'm not going to show you, like, 10 seconds of it, but this goes on for, like, three minutes. Here's Donald Trump being called the taco on India tv. Play this clip.
Commentator
Oh, isn't that nice? Chicken out. I've never heard that.
Host
All right, let's take a look at Elon's condition. With a black eye and looking like he's under the influence of something in the Oval Office. Let's just play this clip of Elon. Let's play it.

Our country's given $5 billion plus to Harvard over a short period of time. It's a case we win. We. We can't lose that case because we have the right to make grants. We're not going to make any grants like that. Very nice. I think Colombia wants to get to the bottom of the problem. They've acted very well. And there are other institutions, too. They're acting. But Harvard's trying to be a big shot.
Host
And, yeah, that's bad. It's embarrassing to our nation. I mean, Elon's done so much to embarrass himself already. But the fact that that's an individual who destroyed our federal government, killed likely hundreds of thousands of people based on the cuts that were made at USAID and other things, really just an unforgivable, putrid human being. And of course, the putrid human being next to him, Donald Trump was giving that speech that I talked about at the outset of this video, this disastrous speech at U.S. steel. Now Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are claiming that Nippon Steel is not acquiring U.S. steel, that it's some partnership or some investment. It's just more lies. Show me the deal. Because the deal I'm aware of from 2024 was a deal whereby Nippon Steel acquires, buys, purchases U.S. steel. And that's why allegedly Trump was against it, why former President Biden rejected it. But here's Donald Trump lying and saying that he also cut the deficit in half already, that he's cut the deficit in half. Play this clip.
Commentator
Last month we also cut the trade deficit in half. And that's the story of today. They can't believe it. The numbers just came. We, we cut before we even get started, actually, we cut it in half.
Host
The, in fact, Donald Trump has added to the deficit. The deficit has increased under Donald Trump. Federal spending has increased under Donald Trump and Elon Musk, it's worse. And then when you factor in what's going to happen with this disastrous budget bill, it's going to add trillions and trillions to the deficit and really destroy America's long term potential. Speaking about destroying America's long term potential, just I'll give you a brief primer in some individuals who are immigrants who are now leading top American corporations who studied in the United States, Nvidia CEO, AMD CEO, intel CEO, Broadcom CEO, Alphabet CEO, Microsoft CEO are all Asian immigrants who have contributed to the United States and under Donald Trump's policies, people like that will be blocked. So I think the American people are getting it. You know, I think with all of this corporate news BS that's out there, you still have in the generic poll by Atlas intel and they were the most reliable pollsters in the past election. Atlas intel was in a generic ballot poll and this is an A plus poll. They have Democrats up by 9, 51% to 42%, Democrats in the lead. And if you think about, you know, just even, you know, politics is a game of addition, not subtraction. You know, just think about the ultimate betrayal that happened at the end of last week, right, where the Supreme Court at Donald Trump's request removed additional temporary protected status from 500,000 Cubans, Venezuelans and Haitians. This is on top of the prior Supreme Court ruling getting rid of temporary protective status for just the Venezuelans. And you all remember the Cubans for Trump, the Venezuelans for Trump. And they said, Donald Trump's never going to go after us. He's only going to go after criminals. He's not going to revoke our parole status or temporary protected status that former President Biden gave them. Well, y' all attacked former President Biden, who gave you the parole status, the temporary protective status to be here to have thriving lives in the United States. And Donald Trump took it away. So I don't know what other issues are on your list of issues that are important. I'm just saying, on the one hand, Biden allowed you to live here and live successful lives, pay taxes, have a job, become a contributing member to the United States of America and maybe one day a citizen. Donald Trump just ripped that from you, and he wants to send you back to Castro. He wants to send you back to a Maduro. That's what's really going on. I'll share this with you also to kind of show you the ultimate weakness of Donald Trump. Here he is right here at various times talking about when it comes to Putin, two weeks. He, you know, what was it? March, April, May? I just need two more weeks. Give me two more weeks, everybody. So utterly pathetic. Here, play that clip.
Commentator
You trust President Putin, you know, in about two weeks.
Host

Commentator

Host
Give us, what is the actual date?
Commentator

Host
See those little dates up at the top? April 27th, May 19th. Today is May 28th.
Commentator
So two weeks. Two weeks. Two weeks. And we're still two weeks away.
Host
And then finally, you know, I'll show you this one other portion of Donald Trump's press conference with Elon Musk, which is, again, it's just so utterly pathetic and it's so beneath contempt. But let me just show it to you.
Commentator
He's been able to find it. $8 million for making mice transgender. So they spent $8 million making mice transgender. And those are better than many of the others. I could sit here all day and read things just like that. But we have other things to do, so it's much.
Host

Podcast Summary: The MeidasTouch Podcast
Episode: "Trump’s Entire White House Crumbles as It All Cracks"
Release Date: May 31, 2025
In this intense episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, hosts Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas dive deep into the unraveling of former President Donald Trump's administration. Combining sharp analysis with their signature brotherly banter, the trio examines recent events that signal significant instability within Trump's remaining political influence and the broader implications for American democracy.
The episode opens with a critical analysis of Donald Trump's recent speech in Pittsburgh, where he addressed U.S. Steel workers. The hosts condemn the speech as "disastrous," highlighting how Trump's rhetoric is misleading steelworkers about the future of their industry.
Host (01:58): "You had people walking out of Donald Trump's disastrous speech in Pittsburgh early, while he basically lied about everything to steelworkers for US Steel who are about to have their lives ruined by Donald Trump and they don't even fully realize it yet."
The hosts argue that Trump's imposition of a 50% tariff on steel is economically harmful, potentially costing "hundreds of thousands” of American jobs. They also point out the irony in Trump's own use of Chinese steel in his buildings, which he now criticizes as "shoddy."
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the internal turmoil within Trump's orbit, notably the physical altercation between Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Elon Musk.
Host (01:58): "You have physical altercations breaking out in the White House with Treasury Secretary Scott Besant getting into a physical fight with Elon Musk."
The hosts express concern over Elon Musk's behavior, citing reports from the New York Times about his alleged substance abuse. They depict Musk as a destabilizing force within the federal government, exacerbating the administration's dysfunction.
Host (05:04): "Elon's done so much to embarrass himself already. But the fact that that's an individual who destroyed our federal government... really just an unforgivable, putrid human being."
The podcast shifts focus to Trump's international standing, particularly highlighting mockery from Indian media, where he is derogatorily referred to as "the taco."
Host (03:00): "Should we do a choose your own adventure? Where do you want to start?... Here's Donald Trump being called the taco on India TV."
This ridicule is presented as evidence of Trump's diminishing respect and influence on the global stage.
Trump's claims of halving the national deficit are scrutinized and debunked by the hosts, who present factual data showing an increase in the deficit under his administration.
Host (06:26): "In fact, Donald Trump has added to the deficit. The deficit has increased under Donald Trump. Federal spending has increased under Donald Trump and Elon Musk, it's worse."
They argue that Trump's narrative of fiscal responsibility is misleading, with upcoming budget bills poised to "add trillions" to the national deficit, thereby hampering America's long-term economic potential.
The hosts highlight the detrimental effects of Trump's immigration policies, emphasizing how they threaten the leadership of major American corporations dominated by Asian immigrants.
Host (07:30): "Under Donald Trump's policies, people like that will be blocked. So I think the American people are getting it."
They cite leaders from companies like Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Broadcom, Alphabet, and Microsoft as examples of successful Asian immigrants whose contributions are jeopardized by restrictive immigration measures.
Referencing a recent generic ballot poll by Atlas Research, the hosts note a significant lead for Democrats over Republicans, attributing this shift to the public's growing dissatisfaction with Trump's actions.
Host (08:15): "They have Democrats up by 9, 51% to 42%, Democrats in the lead."
This polling data is presented as a barometer of the nation's political climate, indicating a potential shift away from Trump's influence.
The episode delves into controversial Supreme Court decisions influenced by Trump, particularly the removal of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Venezuelans, and Haitians.
Host (08:45): "Donald Trump took it away. So I don't know what other issues are on your list of issues that are important."
They criticize Trump for dismantling policies established by former President Biden, arguing that these actions undermine the lives of immigrants who have become integral members of American society.
The podcast also touches on Trump's perplexing statements regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin, highlighting Trump's repeated promises of "two more weeks" without specifying an end date, illustrating his indecisiveness and lack of a clear strategy.
Host (09:43): "You trust President Putin, you know, in about two weeks."
This vague commitment is portrayed as a sign of Trump's unreliable leadership in international affairs.
Wrapping up the episode, the hosts hint at future discussions that will further expose Trump's questionable decisions, including his preference for Chinese steel and his impact on American labor. They encourage listeners to stay tuned for more in-depth analyses and urge them to subscribe for additional content.
Host (10:46): "I'm going to really expose Donald Trump's history of using Chinese steel over American steel and how he's going to really screw over those workers, especially union workers who work at steel plants."
