MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/22/26
Summary
Major developments are unfolding by the hour, and the MeidasTouch Podcast breaks it all down. Ben, Brett, and Jordy cover the chaos on Capitol Hill as Senate Majority Leader John Thune abruptly sends the Senate home after Donald Trump detonates the reconciliation bill negotiations with his outrageous push for a $1.776 billion slush fund to award January 6 insurrectionists and allies. Meanwhile in the House, Republicans shut down the floor before a vote on a war powers resolution — because Democrats had the votes. Trump approval continues to tank. The brothers also examine alarming global developments, including Russia conducting nuclear weapon drills with Belarus, Iran tightening its grip over the Strait of Hormuz and escalating tensions in the region, and China flexing its power as Trump faces mounting pressure following his meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing. Plus, the latest legal, political, and international fallout surrounding Trump and much more.
