Jack Smith: Career Prosecutor and Charges

On this New Year’s Day episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we kick off 2026 by breaking down a barrage of consequential developments: the DOJ’s review of 5.2 million “newly surfaced” Epstein records, a Wall Street Journal report detailing how Mar-a-Lago staff were sent to Epstein’s mansion; new reporting on Donald Trump’s health, from his excessive aspirin use and contradictory statements about scans to visible discoloration on his hands, chronic sleep issues, and a fast-food diet; and the release of Jack Smith’s closed-door video deposition from the House Judiciary Committee in which he outlines his case against Trump. We also contrast the ugliness and cruelty of Trump and MAGA politics with a moment of civic inspiration as Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as New York City’s mayor, highlight Trump’s abuses of power, from seizing public golf courses in D.C., vetoing a bipartisan clean water project in Colorado over personal grudges, and launching vile attacks on the Kennedy family and political opponents. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down in the first full-length pod of the year.
