Summary

The MeidasTouch Podcast returns after a weekend marked by profound tragedy, as we confront a series of devastating events including a shooting targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia, a shooting at Brown University, an ambush of U.S. soldiers in Syria, and the murder of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner. In this episode, we examine Donald Trump’s horrific and disgraceful attacks on Reiner in the aftermath of the killing, his reckless blame-shifting in response to the violence at Brown, and his latest lawsuits against the media, which underscore his ongoing war on accountability and the free press. We also provide updates on Europe sounding the alarm against the Trump regime, place these events in their broader global and political context, and break down what they reveal about leadership, responsibility, and the stakes facing democracy right now. Ben, Brett, and Jordy discuss all this and more. Deals from our sponsors!  Home Chef: Home Chef is offering 18 FREE Meals PLUS Free Dessert for Life and FREE Shipping on your first box!
