The MeidasTouch Podcast

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben and Brett discuss a rapidly spiraling global crisis as more tankers are struck in the Strait of Hormuz, fighting escalates across the Middle East, and Russia and Ukraine unleash increasingly devastating attacks on each other. Meanwhile, Americans are getting crushed by surging gas, diesel, housing and energy costs as Trump insists everything is going great. Ben and Brett break down the widening gap between Trump’s claims and what’s actually happening, including the scramble over oil supplies and mounting economic warning signs. They also examine Trump’s increasingly desperate midterm push, the global rise of authoritarian movements, and the stunning way Fox News memorialized former Republican House Speaker and admitted child sex abuser Dennis Hastert. And much more.
