Summary
On today’s episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down another stunning Trump retreat as he backs away from his latest military threat against Iran just as Tehran moves to formalize control over the Strait of Hormuz. The brothers also discuss mysterious explosions at key energy facilities in Venezuela, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates; Trump’s outrageous new scheme to funnel $1.776 billion in taxpayer money to January 6 insurrectionists; and the growing effort by Trump and parts of the media to manufacture consent for a potential war in Cuba. They also examine the geopolitical fallout from Trump’s failed trip to Beijing as Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin prepare for a major summit, while Trump ramps up threats against allies like Canada and Greenland. Plus, Volodymyr Zelenskyy turns the tables on Putin as Ukraine launches dramatic strikes on Moscow, and much more.
