On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, the brothers break down another chaotic day under Donald Trump’s government shutdown as the president and Republicans face growing backlash from Americans demanding they reopen the government and extend Affordable Care Act subsidies. They also discuss Trump’s troubling admission about Ghislaine Maxwell. We examine Trump’s escalating attempt to deploy the National Guard into Democratic-led cities, with multiple court battles erupting over his authority to do so, and the mounting economic damage caused by his reckless tariffs that continue to hammer U.S. manufacturing and consumer prices. Plus, we cover the latest political and legal fallout as Trump’s desperate power plays push the country deeper into crisis. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down.
