MeidasTouch Full Podcast - 8/18/26

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett and Jordy tear into Trump's Kim Jong Un flattery, his attacks on South Korea and NATO, and a chilling admission from a NORTHCOM deputy commander that the U.S. has no real defense against drone swarms at home. They dig into Iran's new offensive posture and threats to cut Gulf internet cables, Trump's threat to "bomb the sh*t out" of Oman, plunging approval numbers, skyrocketing Treasury yields and gas prices, and the ongoing crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Plus: the Supreme Court rejects Trump's appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case, the Mecca Pact forms without the U.S., and Jon Ossoff's viral takedown of Trump, Natalie Harp and the ballroom obsession has the White House rattled.
