Tariffs, drug prices, and fabricated claims

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down a stunning series of developments as Washington braces for the expected release of the Epstein files: Republicans abruptly call a vacation, a leaked memo exposes their coordinated plan to deflect from the fallout, and new reporting reveals counterintelligence specialists were pulled off their work to focus on redactions. The team also covers Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson’s decision to shut down the House, enraging moderates as a discharge petition to extend ACA health care subsidies reaches the required signatures—yet Johnson still refuses to bring it to the floor, even as premiums are set to spike for tens of millions of Americans. Plus, the show exposes fake data in Trump’s inflation report, unpacks FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s bizarre and revealing Capitol Hill hearing, analyzes Trump’s deranged primetime speech, and more in an episode packed full of news and analysis.
