MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 5/5/26
5/5/20261 hr 31 min
On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down the rapidly escalating chaos in the Middle East after Donald Trump’s latest Strait of Hormuz announcement backfires spectacularly, with Iran firing on U.S. ships, striking a key UAE port, and pushing the region to the brink of full-blown war again—while Trump’s allies flood the airwaves with “Baghdad Bob”-style spin insisting everything is under control. Back at home, a federal judge steps in to block yet another controversial Trump demolition project in Washington, D.C., as new reporting exposes troubling coordination between the DOJ and former Attorney General Pam Bondi tied to the Epstein files cover-up. The episode also dives into Marjorie Taylor Greene recent speech rebuking Trump, unpacks the real story behind the Spirit Airlines collapse amid soaring fuel costs, and more.

Meanwhile, there is a massive ramp-up of, uh, military assets right now by the United States and Israel in the Middle East. We're going
