The MeidasTouch Podcast

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the escalating chaos inside the Trump regime as we pass the 100 day mark. From disturbing new moments of Donald Trump’s cognitive decline to Democratic lawmakers openly questioning his mental fitness, the alarm bells are ringing louder than ever. We cover the (unsurprising) admission from Trump’s own trade rep that there have been zero trade talks with China—despite Trump’s repeated lies—and dig into the latest signs of economic collapse as the U.S. suffers negative GDP growth under his failed leadership. Plus, we dive into the turmoil inside Trump’s cabinet with the sudden exit of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and expose the dangerous rise of propaganda as the Trump White House replaces real press briefings with MAGA influencer theatrics. Ben, Brett and Jordy break it all down. Subscribe to Meidas+ at https://meidasplus.com Get Meidas Merch: https://store.meidastouch.com Deals from our sponsors! VIIA: If you’re 21+, try VIIA!

RSN: FOCUS: Robert Reich | The Painful Truth About Covid and the Economy - Trump Is to Blame

03 August 20 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News FOCUS: Robert Reich | The Painful Truth About Covid and the Economy - Trump Is to Blame Robert Reich, Guardian UK Reich writes: "Lies about the economy are harder to spot than lies about the coronavirus because the virus's grim death count is painfully apparent while the economy is complicated."  he recovery has been very strong,” Donald Trump said on Monday. Then the commerce department reported the US economy contracted between April and June at the fastest pace in nearly three-quarters of a century, which is as long as economists have been keeping track. The drop wiped out five years of economic growth.

But pesky facts have never stopped Trump. Having lied for five months about the coronavirus, he’s now filling social media and the airwaves with untruths about the economy so he can dupe his way to election day.

The comeback “won’t take very long”, he reassured Americans on Thursday. But every indicator shows that after a small uptick in June, the US economy is tanking again. Restaurant reservations are down, traffic at retail stores is dwindling, more small businesses are closing, the small rebound in air travel is reversing.

What’s Trump’s plan to revive the economy? The same one he’s been pushing for months: just “reopen” it.

He wants the public to believe the shutdown orders that began in March caused the economy to tank in the first place, so reversing them will bring the economy back.

Rubbish. It was the virus that caused the downturn, and its resurgence is taking the economy down again. The virus is surging back because governors reopened prematurely, before the virus was under control – at Trump’s repeated insistence.

The sequence of cause-and-effect is clear. The virus has surged most in states that were among the first to reopen, such as Florida, South Carolina, Texas and much of the rest of the sun belt.

Because of this resurgence, many states are pausing plans to reopen and some are reimposing restrictions. But these restrictions are not the reason the economy is slowing. They are the necessary consequence of allowing the pandemic to get out of control.

Even the White House’s own coronavirus taskforce concludes that 21 states have outbreaks serious enough to justify more restrictions.

Notably, the economy is sliding again even though the government has pumped trillions of dollars into it. What happens when the money stops?

We’re about to find out. Senate Republicans can’t agree among themselves, let alone with House Democrats, about more funding, while Trump says “we really don’t care” about reaching a spending agreement.

That means starting this week more than 30 million Americans will no longer receive $600 in extra weekly employment benefits. As a result, tens of millions will not be able to make rent or mortgage payments. More will go hungry, including children. The economy is likely to slide even further.

The White House argues that the extra unemployment payments have discouraged workers from seeking jobs because some are receiving more money in benefits than they would earn by working.

“We don’t want to create disincentives to work,” says Trump adviser Larry Kudlow.

More rubbish. A study by Yale economists finds “no evidence” that people who have lost their jobs are choosing to stay unemployed because of the extra federal aid. In fact, “workers facing larger [unemployment] expansions generally appear to be quicker to return to work than others, not slower.”

People can’t go back to work because there is very little work for them to do. Fourteen million more people are unemployed than there are jobs.

In fact, the extra benefits have been keeping some 3 million employed because the money has gone into the pockets of people who spend it, thereby sustaining economic activity. Shrinking those benefits will put less money into consumer pockets, with the result that millions more jobs will be lost.

Lies about the economy are harder to spot than lies about the coronavirus because the virus’s grim death count is painfully apparent while the economy is complicated. But Trump’s economic lies are no less egregious, and they’re about to cause a great deal of unnecessary suffering.

Trump and Senate Republicans may not like it, but that’s the painful truth.

They want to spend COVID-19 relief money on what?

On Tuesday, Senate Republicans released their long-awaited coronavirus relief proposal.

Buried in the 177-page document are BILLIONS of dollars for weapons of war wish list: fighter jets, helicopters, and missile defense systems.

That’s right, Republicans in the Senate are ready to hand out $30 BILLION for Pentagon pet projects completely unrelated to COVID-19 — while they’re nickel and diming families who desperately need protections and benefits to put food on their tables and keep roofs over their heads.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the power to reject this absurd proposal and stop it entering the final bill, because none of these proposals can become law without House approval. Together, we spoke out against pandemic profiteering in the COVID relief bills in April - and won. Let’s do it again.

Add your name to tell Speaker Pelosi: Reject the GOP’s giveaway to the Pentagon in COVID-19 relief!



Why, might you ask, do Senate Republicans want to give the Pentagon 30 billion dollars? For one, to replace money President Trump redirected to build his ego-filled, racist border wall.

The $30 billion also includes: $11 billion to reimburse contractors for profits lost as a result of the virus (despite little indication of losses) and $686 million for the bungled F-35 fighter jet program. And, by sheer coincidence we’re sure, one of the projects that’d be funded is a ship built in Alabama, the home state of Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Richard Shelby.

At the end of the day, that’s $30 BILLION not spent on PPE or ventilators. $30 BILLION not spent on keeping our families afloat during an economic collapse. $30 BILLION not spent on housing relief in the midst of an eviction crisis. $30 BILLION not spent on human needs.

Pandemic relief dollars should NOT go to the Pentagon FULL STOP. Add your name to ask Speaker Pelosi to ensure no COVID-19 relief money goes to weapons of war.

If families across the country have to adjust their budgets, surely the Pentagon — as recipient of three quarters of a TRILLION tax dollars — can do the same.

Appropriating a dollar more to the Pentagon is throwing critically needed resources away.

Rebuilding our futures lies in what we choose to support and resource right now. Let’s make sure Speaker Pelosi knows: we continue to choose, and need, investment in PEOPLE over investment in weapons and war.

Let’s do everything we can to make sure we build the world we desperately need and want: a just, equitable, and peaceful world, for all.

Thank you for working for peace,
Sara, Annika, Samuel, and the Win Without War team

LT. COLONEL ALEXANDER VINDMAN

Active Resistance to Trump - ART

AFTER 21 years, six months and 10 days of active military service, I am now a civilian. I made the difficult decision to retire because a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation by President Trump and his allies forever limited the progression of my military career.

This experience has been painful, but I am not alone in this ignominious fate. The circumstances of my departure might have been more public, yet they are little different from those of dozens of other lifelong public servants who have left this administration with their integrity intact but their careers irreparably harmed.

A year ago, having served the nation in uniform in positions of critical importance, I was on the cusp of a career-topping promotion to colonel. A year ago, unknown to me, my concerns over the president’s conduct and the president’s efforts to undermine the very foundations of our democracy were precipitating tremors that would ultimately shake loose the facade of good governance and publicly expose the corruption of the Trump administration.

At no point in my career or life have I felt our nation’s values under greater threat and in more peril than at this moment. Our national government during the past few years has been more reminiscent of the authoritarian regime my family fled more than 40 years ago than the country I have devoted my life to serving.

Our citizens are being subjected to the same kinds of attacks tyrants launch against their critics and political opponents. Those who choose loyalty to American values and allegiance to the Constitution over devotion to a mendacious president and his enablers are punished. The president recklessly downplayed the threat of the pandemic even as it swept through our country. The economic collapse that followed highlighted the growing income disparities in our society. Millions are grieving the loss of loved ones and many more have lost their livelihoods while the president publicly bemoans his approval ratings.

There is another way.

During my testimony in the House impeachment inquiry, I reassured my father, who experienced Soviet authoritarianism firsthand, saying, “Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth.” Despite Trump’s retaliation, I stand by that conviction. Even as I experience the low of ending my military career, I have also experienced the loving support of tens of thousands of Americans. Theirs is a chorus of hope that drowns out the spurious attacks of a disreputable man and his sycophants.

Since the struggle for our nation’s independence, America has been a union of purpose: a union born from the belief that although each individual is the pilot of their own destiny, when we come together, we change the world. We are stronger as a woven rope than as unbound threads.

America has thrived because citizens have been willing to contribute their voices and shed their blood to challenge injustice and protect the nation. It is in keeping with that history of service that, at this moment, I feel the burden to advocate for my values and an enormous urgency to act.

Despite some personal turmoil, I remain hopeful for the future for both my family and for our nation. Impeachment exposed Trump’s corruption, but the confluence of a pandemic, a financial crisis and the stoking of societal divisions has roused the soul of the American people. A groundswell is building that will issue a mandate to reject hate and bigotry and a return to the ideals that set the United States apart from the rest of the world. I look forward to contributing to that effort.

In retirement from the Army, I will continue to defend my nation. I will demand accountability of our leadership and call for leaders of moral courage and public servants of integrity. I will speak about the attacks on our national security. I will advocate for policies and strategies that will keep our nation safe and strong against internal and external threats. I will promote public service and exalt the contribution that service brings to all areas of society.

The 23-year-old me who was commissioned in December 1998 could never have imagined the opportunities and experiences I have had. I joined the military to serve the country that sheltered my family’s escape from authoritarianism, and yet the privilege has been all mine.

When I was asked why I had the confidence to tell my father not to worry about my testimony, my response was, “Congressman, because this is America. This is the country I have served and defended, that all my brothers have served, and here, right matters.”

To this day, despite everything that has happened, I continue to believe in the American Dream. I believe that in America, right matters. I want to help ensure that right matters for all Americans.
