MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 7/21/26

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy discuss the rapidly escalating war with Iran, from mounting U.S. military casualties and strained resources to growing questions about how and when it actually ends. They dig into the widening gap between the Trump regime’s public claims and reporting from the Pentagon and press on the ground, plus the economic fallout hitting oil reserves, gas prices, housing, and the national debt. The guys also cover a string of optics problems for Trump and his family amid the crisis. There's plenty on the World Cup trophy presentation drama, an awkward GOP attempt to save their chances in the upcoming midterms, and more.
