MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 2/17/26
Summary
On this Presidents’ Day episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the growing fallout from the Epstein Files as they continue to haunt Donald Trump and members of his inner circle, while Trump publicly pretends everything is fine even as his polling sinks to new lows. We also discuss the striking contrast on the global stage, with Governor Gavin Newsom stepping into a leadership vacuum at the Munich Security Conference as world leaders openly push back on Trump, Canada forging new international partnerships, and fresh updates out of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Barack Obama draws thunderous applause during a weekend appearance, underscoring the leadership many Americans feel is missing right now, as we connect the dots on what it all means for the moment we’re living through. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down.
