In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the mounting chaos surrounding the Trump regime. Reports indicate a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the verge of being ousted amid new scandalous leaks. Meanwhile, Trump tanks global markets with reckless economic policies and launches another attack on the Federal Reserve Chair—just as his promised tariff “deals” continue to unravel with U.S. allies. Harvard fires back at the Trump administration with a new lawsuit. We also cover the death of Pope Francis, as well as yet another weekend of massive global protests against Trump’s authoritarian rule. Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss all that and more!
Treason charges against this entire regime.
Trump, Vance, Musk, Trump's Cabinet, GOPs, J6s, are the ones who should be incarcerated in El Salvador.
Ben, I feel great because I’m in Australia. Actually not great - I just feel lucky that my parents came to Australia instead of America after the 2nd World War. Apparently they were welcome in the US too but my father fortunately won the argument and I am forever grateful.
I'd like to be with you right now. I think most American's would. We are going to fight this crazy policy of his and, hopefully, get all of the crazies out of office and get our Constitution and Democracy back. Then we can have a relationship with our allies and won't be looked at as an enemy. I would like to invite you to come here and fight with us, but it would not be safe. You would probably end up in El Salvador in a concentration camp. At least you are safe where you are. Keep us in your prayers and please pray that this unconstitutional government that we are living in will end. Thank you for your support.
The country is run by a bunch of psychotic idiots. Everyday they figure out how to fail worse than the day before. It’s like something we’ve never seen and could never imagine in a lifetime.
This 81 year old woman got out and joined the protest in Napa! I will protest even if I have to use a walker! 💙💙💙
Thank you for the encouragement. 💙
We thank you and support you for courage it is contagious and not easy for me as well at 66 so my hat is off to you.
JAIL FOR ALL
Amen to that
A Gulf of America hat? That hat covers the Gulf of Nothing between Trump's ears.

Spoke to my MAGA cultist at my apartment complex just to see if anything has changed for his misconception of the world and I will list a few of his insane banterings and he did this debating me by raising his voice louder and louder as he backed away and walked off. 1) there are railroad cars full of sand in North Dakota full of sand,masquerading as oil tankers and this is why oil prices are dropping 2)Trump is ushering in a golden age of enlightenment 3) a large contingent of trains are going to Canada and remove our unpaid for autos from thier soil 4) due to all the money Doge saved we will all be receiving $5,000 checks 5) he is very proud of all the work Trump is doing. These MAGA people are true cultists and before he left he said he isn't afraid of the stock market crashing because he doesn't have a 401k,anything about higher prices affecting him,he believes is fabrication. Kyle Kulinski has a term for this kind of cultist "TFG" which stands for Too Far Gone. This is an American tragedy.
WOW, they actually believe they will be receiving $5,000. What a fizzled out brain. I can't make them come to their senses either. So I guess they will go to their graves this ignorant.
You are correct.
And, even if they ever would see a check, do they not know math & that the cost will be so very much more?
This is so sad to hear these Brainwashed people spout these junk lies.
MAGA folks seem to lack the ability to look for and process information on thier own,they seem to require someone to latch onto,much like fools that make up a paparazzi.
Malignant narcissism along with a brainwash from the state propaganda channel knows as faux news, that is the tRump regime. And don't forget propaganda barbie the Whitehouse press secretary.
MAGA are very dangerous because they want to please Trump and show thier devotion,to MAGA America Trump is a kind of Jesus figure who will deliver them from all the "bad people" and make them all "wealthy" and pursue him like lemmings right off a cliff,even providing an insane rhetorical banter that need to "help" Canada by making them a 51st state.
wow. yeah, that's what I see, too, anger that gets louder & louder in response to any challenge, louder & louder & NOT anything that makes any more sense. deeply unwell.
Correct,it's being confronted by information that shows an ignorance about thier world views and how they feel protecting this ignorance, gives them a sort of "postmodernism" and allows them to create a world where they feel safer from confrontation of the truth. Iam not a mental health professional but this reads like a psychosis.
I sure think you are reading it right. It's the indication of psychosis, a complete disconnect from reality that's frightening. They are assigning supernatural powers to people & there isn't any grounds with which to reason in that. We can give people the benefit of the doubt & hold faith in principles, but when we give up on evidence supporting those, it's flying entirely on superstition. Dangerous. Insane.

Somber Thoughts About the US Economy
While many contributors in MSM(mainstream media) and Substack authors may trivialize this comment there is a word to wise Don’t shuss away comments about the global economy You do so at your own financial peril To painfully watch the daily Orange Cheeto’s destruction of the federal government distracts us from a much graver issue at hand The US economy and its relevance in the world as its reserve currency is coming to an end with an ensuing debt crisis Failure to heed the flashing warning lights will lead to devastating consequences to investor’s portfolios globally

Is it true that Vance was one of the last people to meet the pope before he died?
No, according to reliable sources, the Pope refused to see him and sent a low level person to tell him what the Pope thought of him! But, apparently, the Pope saw him “for a few minutes” the next day. Sorry for the confusion.
But there are photos of them together 🤔
Apparently he saw him the next day, but it’s so hard to tell these days with all the misinformation
Please check your sources. This site is too valuable to its readers to become filled with false information. Thank you.
Vance was "one of the last leaders to meet" with Pope Francis. See this AP story: https://apnews.com/article/jd-vance-pope-francis-vatican-meeting-abf9e1a3fbb597778779dafdc6c491d2
Please, please, people: Verify your sources. Don't be spreading fake news on a platform like this with many thousands of readers. "According to reliable sources" doesn't cut it. Specify what those sources are so we can check them out.
Thanks for sharing the AP News link. I knew I'd read it but couldn't recall where. I suspect the meeting with Vance, on Easter, did not help the Pope's condition. 😢
I understand that he did not meet with him. Pope Francis sent an emissary who schooled him on compassion and peace during the entire conversation. However I did see a picture of them shaking hands. Most reports I've seen and read is that Pope Francis did not meet with Vance.
Then, what sources are you reading. Try AP or NYT. Simple way to check what's happened. But please, keep the false info off t
he Meidas site. It's too valuable to the rest of us who like to be informed with facts.
Unfortunately so
He did meet with the Pope where only Easter Greetings were shared. zHe spent at least an hour with an emissary who schooled him on the religion.
I read somewhere that the Pope's #2 talked to him about compassion. I'm sure he agreed, since he said he was a baby Catholic, but did he understand? I'm sure not. Even a baby Catholic should know what the difference is between right and wrong.

The skinny kid, behind Pete , alongside a couple other kids, is hilarious!!!! He looks mortified, what a face. I literally laughed out loud. He looks like he j7st heard something from another world, a kid!!!!🤭🤭☺️😝
Hegseth is probably drunk!
Kegbreath is always drunk.
Hard to tell. There's obviously IS substance abuse judging by the irratic behavior of many in the regime, but that is maybe secondary to them being deeply messed up people. Mental illness & substance abuse are a bad combination.
He is a sick old man who hates everyone younger than he is. He hopes to destroy America since he will not be alive to enjoy dominating the rest of us. Since he will not benefit personally, he cannot stand the thought of young people enjoying their lives without him being alive to enjoy dominating them.
I’ve heard it’s worse than that. He has no concern about what kind of a world he will leave behind because he will be dead. That’s why he’s trashed environmental protection laws.
Shame he can't even consider his children and grand children.
He has destroyed America he needs stopped. How far does he need to go before Republicans will impeach him?
I'm sorry, but the US is less reliable than my temu bra. Trump did deals, Trump broke deals. So far, over 400 billion in trade and jobs have been lost in the US. No company would invest to build in the US with the current incentives. Also, no prior allies would buy military equipment from such an unreliable country. Good luck, but I'm so glad I moved from the US. Honestly, at least Russia is more predictable.
Nonsense.there is nothing togain to be under putin's fascist evil regime
You could learn how to fly out of a skyscraper window
Which is exactly what trump is trying to make America into. He’s trying to say he is more important and liked than putin. He is worse than putin.
Did you go to Russia???
Trump has no integrity and self respect he will always disrespect he is a narcissist.
Trump, Vance, Musk, Trump's Cabinet, GOPs, J6s, are the ones who should be incarcerated in El Salvador.

Once again Trump’s paranoia is blatantly on show for all who don’t have the blinkers on to see. It would be interesting to know his many times in his term Biden mentioned Trump.
These are unprecedented times. Unprecedented measures must be used to remove trump. trump is UNFIT and DANGEROUS, as is the entire administration (sic). Remove him NOW!
There's a Michael Moore documentary called - Unfit : the psychology of DJT. Before the election, I begged everyone over thousands of comments to please watch this movie. For the safety and security of USA and the world.
Omg people went nuts!! Mostly magas replying telling me to get a grip and get a life and don't be stupid etc. I had to try.
Why does Musk think he has to father so many children? Children with an absentee father, no marriage in sight and just populating the world. Really sounds more like a "slam, bam, thank you mam" to me.
He believes bc he's rich he's favoured by God. His genes are superior. He's here to build the new world. His superior genius class as the rulers 🤢

What if the media instead only focused and named the actual cabinet members appointed by F-47 when they commit their heinous acts of tyranny......💡🤔
Too far gone ☹️ that is such a tragic fact. It’s like Americans are no different to the people in Russia who are so used to having crap dumped on them for so long they believe this is normality.
Trump indeed is unwell. He's a pathological narcissist and has been for many decades.

"Trump brags about bringing religion back, after golfing on Easter Sunday."
"President Donald Trump spent Easter Sunday hitting the links at his Virginia golf course, writing angry social media posts, and hanging out with his co-president, the recently born again Christian billionaire, Elon Musk.
But on Monday he was bragging about how he single-handedly brought religion back to America.
“It brings the country together. It's so important that we can do that,” Trump told reporters at the newly corporate-sponsored White House Easter Egg Roll. “Religion, I said bring religion back. Religion keeps you together. It's such a great thing.”
The famously philandering Trump, who reportedly discovered “his faith” while watching Christian television, seems to be a work in progress. This Easter he apparently decided to skip church in favor of golfing at his Sterling, Virginia, course and attacking his perceived enemies.
“Melania and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site Sunday morning. “Whether you are heading out to Church or, watching Service from home, may this day be full of Peace and Joy for all who celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. HE IS RISEN!!”
A short while later, Trump “truthed” out a much longer rant, attacking “Radical Left Lunatics,” lambasting federal judges who do not agree with his administration's slew of unconstitutional and illegal activities, and spewing conspiracy theories involving former President Joe Biden and an autopen.
Instead of spending what is arguably the most important Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Christ, Trump and his henchman Musk spent time waving to other wealthy patrons of the president’s 800-acre private golf club.
“What would Jesus do?” is a common refrain among faithful Christians. It’s safe to say that golfing with Musk, who Trump proudly introduced as “the world’s richest man,” would likely rank very low on the Lamb of God’s list of priorities.
But as evidenced by the chart (below), golf remains one of Trump’s biggest priorities." (Daily Kos)

Hmmmm - "entire Pentagon" against the Trump regime? Military coup anyone?
tRump can't even do his job and thinks that it can do Harvard's job. I don't think so. Very proud of Harvard for standing up to tRump. Maybe tRump thought that if he could take over Harvard that he would get a free education. God knows, he needs it, starting with how to be a president and not tear your country down. I don't have much hope that he will ever learn anything, except for more and more stupidity.
I'm not a disgruntled employee of the Pentagon. I'm just a citizen of the US. A very disgruntled person because of this incompetence of our current government. As to the troops dying and not saying a word - they are so incompetent that they probably don't know any words to say. Remember, they are suckers and loosers according to tRump. Probably they think that they got what they deserved. How f___king sad. I want all of them to have to go to Ukraine and get their lessons on the front lines. Wonder if that would make them man up.
Hi Ben- since this is Earth Day maybe you could critique how the Trump regime is doing on protecting our planet.
American people need to demand trump see a specialist in senior mental health. Trump is a narcissistic mentally gone creature.
Question - maybe you guys can explore: I read that Bukele is negotiating with Venezuela for a prisoner exchange where the "deportees" from the US would be swapped for political prisoners from El Salvador that are in Venezuela prisons. Can this be?!?!?!?! So scary!!! Once sent to Venezuela the immigrants from the US would go into a deeper black hole.

Ben, You really need to look at the Guy in charge of OMB and his White Christian Nationalist Movement you know Project 2025 seems like Trump made a deal with a devil.
Based on the last couple of days... could we turn to the democrats in Congress that voted/approved these idiots into the MAGA adminstration? Hegseth? seriously, RFK? come on... time to put those d's feet to the fire while the fire is still hot...nothing like "convenient amnesia" can get them to forget what they have done
Trump supporters either don't care or don't realize that they saddled their kids, grandkids with debt for decades/generations to come. That is if they manage to survive.
Thank you guys for all you do on behalf of We the People!!!! 👏👏💜🙌
Hello your analyses are so important listening to since what ever journalists, reporters in my case Sweden are biased so they can take part of official news and you get a very one sided opinion what really goes on. I'm thankful to you getting true details and serious info of the process that’s going on in your governement. Thank you for the info I'm getting for a fairly good view over the total crazyness one villain evil person with his bought nut entourage is causing directed by these completely insane guys behind the 2025. + the USSR agent pulling the reins.
'"Nonsense numbers': Washington Post delivers math lesson to smash Trump claims."
"As President Donald Trump’s tariffs begin to kick in around the world, The Washington Post analyzed two of his claims: “we were losing $2 billion a day, under President Joe Biden, and “now we’re making $3 billion a day.”
In an analysis, Glenn Kessler wrote, “both the Treasury Department and the data released by Customs and Border Protection show Trump is way off the mark.”
Kessler broke down the February tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico, which are 25%. It additionally calculated the March (20% tariffs) and April (145% tariffs) on China.
The monthly Treasury report detailed the tariffs added up to $8.16 billion for the month of March, or $263 million a day.
“Biden collected $76 billion in customs duties in fiscal 2024, or almost $210 million a day,” the outlet noted." (Raw Story)

"'Stymied at every turn!', Trump whines that Supreme Court 'intimidated' by 'radical' Dems."
"President Donald Trump railed against the Supreme Court on Monday, which he said has "stymied" him at "every turn."
The Supreme Court recently temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act. The high court stressed that the targeted migrants must have a chance to challenge their removal in court.
Trump took issue with the high court's actions, despite the court containing three justices he appointed.
"I’m doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our Country, but the Courts don’t seem to want me to do that. My team is fantastic, doing an incredible job, however, they are being stymied at every turn by even the U.S. Supreme Court, which I have such great respect for, but which seemingly doesn’t want me to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela, or any other Country, for that matter — People that came here illegally!", he railed on his Truth Social platform."

Mike Johnson must be neutered!!
This is important. Garcia is the poster child for everything they are doing with their deportation overreach. That is why they will fight to the end to keep him in El Savador. Of he is returned their whole program will deflate.
So true. They don't want García talking and they don't want him suing either.
On RFK Jr and autism… Saying these folks can’t use a toilet without assistance makes me think he doesn’t even know what autism is. But the most telling piece is that his *first* complaint is whether they could pay taxes. Clearly, the thing that makes a human worthy of existence is giving money to the state. Except it’s not the state, is it? It’s the oligarchy’s pockets.
Gold is inflated , The money you spend is devalued not only on items you can buy but also money you have saved is devalued thereby giving the oligarchs the advantage to manipulate markets.

On Trump’s mental fitness just a reminder to listen to the episodes that MTN, Anthony Davis did on his podcast with the psychiatrist Bandi Lee. she tried to put out the warning of his mental unfitness years ago and it’s still out there trying to get the message out. There are other psychiatrist as well saying the similar thing worth listening to cause it’s enlightening.
Great Podcast. Enjoyed the recap of U.S. news, from Canada. Canada has a busy and stressful week this week, working to get Mark Carney secured as our Prime Minister to take on Trump. Elbows Up!

Thanks you again. You are my go to Network.
I live in New Brunswick Canada and we always have had a close relationship with the neighbouring state of Maine. Not so much now. However I am concerned with what has been happening there with Governor Janet Mills there and the ongoing cutbacks as a result of her speaking up against the Rump administration.
Can you report on that? It is appalling.
I mourn the loss of the Pope. I admire that he reprimanded Trump and Vance. Then MTG had the nerve to attack the Pope after his death. I couldn't watch the attack since MTG makes me want to throw up but these are the people we have representing the haters in this country.

You know what this is? Trump he a rage towards America after being charged with his criminal behaviors. He does not want any Americans to prosper. He is just a raging maniac with the only thing driving him is retribution. It’s not going to change. He is raging against the world. That’s not going to change. This is beyond a constitutional crisis. He has to be physically removed from office and charged or found unfit to continue his presidency.
Vance did meet with the Pope there are several pictures of them together. At first I fell for the disinformation that the Pope refused to meet until I saw the pictures.
Dana the spammer has been reported and blocked.
So WHAT do we do? Our protests enough? Elections? WHAT TO DO??????
I think everyone agrees that the budget needed to be cut and that immigration needed to be reformed, but as things happened so FAST, people got upset. I pray the government can slow down and find a way to make things work smoothly.

A democracy is not neat or easy. We have an anomaly in the White House, using the power and authority inherent in that position to advance money and power to a select few. That power and authority from US, through our vote, believing that person would do as said. And it stands, that WE can take it back. The anomaly is not a god or a Marvel character - he is currently using the power and authority in a scattershot manner - while many are noting the slips and the ellipses within the promises. Words do have power. So we keep pushing, pressing, protecting while raising OUR voices to protect OUR democracy.
Thank you to the citizens of America who do not accept the word 'inevitable'.
So, hegseth's mom is disgruntled now. She's probably been disgruntled since he was like 13.
Thank you guys your reports are very inspiring and we need it, tRump blaming Harvard University for what he did with his letter is so classic of a malignant narcissist , o we didn't mean to send it out to such a backlash, Harvard should of known we were just playing? Right!. tRump should know better then to try and pull his authoritarian overreach on a University that turns out lawyers of Barack & Michelle Obamas caliber.
Since a growing number of people can see and admit that NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL, I would ask Meidas+ (and every active Democratic politician) to keep up the drumbeat that Trump is MENTALLY ILL. Connect that phrase to every single action of his for those who have difficulty recognizing it. That’s the story, so please put on repeat!!

"Harvard sues Trump administration to stop the freeze of more than $2 billion in grants."
"Harvard University announced Monday that it has filed suit to halt a federal freeze on more than $2.2 billion in grants, after the institution said it would defy the Trump administration’s demands to limit activism on campus.
In an April 11 letter to Harvard, the Trump administration had called for broad government and leadership reforms at the university and changes to its admissions policies. It also demanded the university audit views of diversity on campus and stop recognizing some student clubs. The administration has argued universities allowed antisemitism to go unchecked at campus protests last year against Israel’s war in Gaza.
Harvard President Alan Garber said the university would not bend to the demands. Hours later, the government froze billions of dollars in federal funding.
“The Government has not — and cannot — identify any rational connection between antisemitism concerns and the medical, scientific, technological, and other research it has frozen, that aims to save American lives, foster American success, preserve American security, and maintain America’s position as a global leader in innovation,” said the lawsuit, filed in Boston federal court.
“Nor has the Government acknowledged the significant consequences that the indefinite freeze of billions of dollars in federal research funding will have on Harvard’s research programs, the beneficiaries of that research, and the national interest in furthering American innovation and progress,” it added."

Love you guys!!!
These clips should be played over and over until the people start paying attention to his lies.
Much of what I read (and the take away is), everyone is focused on the mid term elections to oust this regime. That’s too late for action by Democrats or any Republicans finally waking to the fact we are now viewed world wide as an untrustworthy nation, unpredictable irrational lunatics in power. The authoritarian regime of Trump has negatively impacted every democracy and embolden every autocracy in 100 days. We are bleeding from this malignancy. The future scenario regarding the mid terms is predictable. Trump will wait until 2026 to declare martial law (under any pretense he wants) thereby delaying the mid term elections or any future election. Who’s going to stop him? Our pathetic Congress? Hell no….they’re complicit, securing their terms by any means available to them. If this ridiculous military parade marches through Washington, it will send a clear message to the world that America is imploding, led by a madmen set on our destruction. Democratic nations want no part of it, autocratic are cheering him on. For those that haven’t connected the dots…..only regimes celebrate by military parades. Those countries are isolated, subjugated and impoverished much of their citizens, nothing to offer other than imperialistic presentation and volatility against democracy. Cuba, Russia, North Korea. Historically, Mao, Castro, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin. So our option are decertify, impeach, seize by military action…..doesn’t matter. It must occur sooner than later if we are to survive. China is rising as victor.

"'Cowardice': Black GOP senator slammed for staying silent, as Trump slashed pet project."
"A federal government program that supports minority-owned businesses has been dismantled — and one of the GOP members who fought for years to keep it alive is staying silent, according to a new report from POLITICO.
Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-SC) used to boost the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), which was under the direction of the Commerce Department.
But, according to the news outlet, not only has President Donald Trump’s administration dismantled MBDA “in a matter of weeks,” the Senator has been completely silent on the issue.
MBDA funds grants to business owners and provides technical assistance, support, and mentorship. It dates back to the Nixon administration.
In March, Trump issued an executive order requiring the MBDA to cut its staff. Since his first term, Trump has been attempting to close or significantly reduce the agency in his budget proposals." (Raw Story)

Some stories don’t break—they rupture.
This one landed like a low-frequency warning, deep in the gut. Not just intel, but implication. Not just what happened—but what it reveals. Behind every leak is a ledger. Behind every revelation, a reckoning waiting its turn.
What if transparency isn’t a gift, but a demand?
What happens when the truth no longer asks permission to be seen?
Still piecing it together. Still listening between the headlines.

Hi Ben, Jordy and Brett
I am a Canadian senior and I am so happy to have discovered you. I am so disappointed to see what is happening there, especially this latest national security mess. The lies are sickening!
I appreciate your knowledge of Canada. I am totally behind the boycott of everything American and I will never set foot in your country under this regime.

Please keep hammering home the economic problems. All the other issues like due process, illegal moves, and national security, are important. Unfortunately, Americans are more concerned about their wallets.

I am all for Meidas and the potential it represents, but I’m not in this for the entertainment. Rather, I’m aware, as I think probably applies to others as well, that getting riled up about the idiocy and rancor of the Trump administration’s actions gets to be a bit of a drug. Instead, I think this new sort of social media needs to channel solutions. While employing this very useful rebelliousness to spread and enhance democratic responses, riding its surge to higher and higher listener counts only goes so far in terms of actual effect.
A question that occurs to me has to do with Meidas’ claim on being part of the new media that’s taking over from the traditional mainstream outlets. Let’s say, as I sincerely hope, that the Meidas Mighty and all the other reawakened Americans DO reclaim democracy, …what will this new media do then? If Meidas’ business model is to take advantage of the hype, what will it do if/when that hype starts to satisfy itself and dies down? I’m thinking of a dog that eventually catches its tail. It can only stand there with that furry appendage in its mouth wondering what to do with it.
Why the f*** are people talking about prayers. They have never done anything for anyone other than make you feel like you did something when you really didn't.
