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 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 Americans. That's a tax on China. Well, as we said, it's a tax on Americans passed 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 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 Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, TSMC, for the construction of chip factories in Phoenix, Arizona. 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 chip maker 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 legislative 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 award 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 shut down the factories so that he can tariff China,

which really means tariff American companies, tariff and 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? 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, 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, 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 bringing 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 some 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's sentiments. I mean, you have MAGA 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 chains. Okay, you've heard us rave about Z-Biotics 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 microbiologist 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 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.

She's talking about that after she lost the election. Thanks to the Chips and Science Act, the Biden-Harris administration's investing now in addition to Arizona, $300 million in projects aimed at boosting chip packaging in Georgia, California, and Arizona. Again, he lost Georgia and Arizona, but also investments there. that Global Foundries secured $1.5 billion Chips Act award as the Biden administration races to allocate funds before Inauguration Day. The New York chipmaker plans $13 billion in investments across New York and Vermont, creating 10,000 jobs over the next decade. And so 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 employees, 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 hardship. 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 can 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, our suffering? Also, since that September article, Argentina's poverty rate 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. Trains were running on time. Things were going well. But now we've got a combustible corrupt oligarchy here. Very, very well done. That seems to be something that regular Americans want. I'm being sarcastic, 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 U.S. manufacturing under the Biden administration has been amazing, as 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, the 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 to hand it 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 be 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 who we're dealing with, the Trump. But President Biden's like, I got to make sure that I'm good on my word and protect

Arizona. I got to help Georgia. I got to 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, well, let Trump cause the devastation. Just gonna cause, rather than just say, we'll let Trump cause the devastation. Just think about that. Think about that. Impressive.
