As a fragile ceasefire takes hold in Gaza and the last remaining Israeli hostages are freed, Donald Trump hijacks the moment with a bombastic, campaign-style speech before the Knesset—attacking former U.S. presidents while apparently cutting back-channel business deals for his family across the Middle East. With Hamas swiftly re-establishing control in Gaza, questions swirl over the future of peace and stability in the region. Back home, the Trump regime is escalating its crackdown on dissent, targeting this weekend’s No Kings protests in cities nationwide. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress continue to prioritize political games over governance—keeping the government shuttered and driving up Americans’ health care costs instead of working to reopen it. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down on this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast.
