On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down a five-alarm fire for free speech as Trump pressures ABC to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air—and they comply—before demanding that anyone who criticizes him face the same fate. We cover Trump’s disastrous trip to the United Kingdom, how Republicans are shamelessly exploiting the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk to blame Democrats, and the Fed’s grim economic news as it issues its first rate cut of the year. We also dive into FBI Director Patel’s heated hearing over his concealment of the Epstein Files, plus more of the stories you need to know.
