On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the rapidly escalating war between the United States and Iran as both sides exchange fire near the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears that full-scale conflict could be back on. We also discuss the bizarre diplomatic scene involving Donald Trump and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after a scheduled public appearance was abruptly canceled following a private meeting that left reporters waiting for hours with no explanation. Plus, we dive into the latest developments surrounding the Epstein files scandal and growing questions about the Trump administration’s cover up, along with all the other major breaking news stories shaping the day. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down.
