On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down the Trump Justice Department's latest criminal complaint against former FBI Director James Comey, filed as his daughter Maurene Comey wins a court ruling ordering her reinstatement and back pay. The brothers examine Trump's increasingly bizarre campaign appearances, his remarks about rising gas prices, and the regime’s claims about the economy just days before the midterm elections. They discuss election developments in Brazil and Serbia, protests against Netanyahu ahead of Israel's elections, and growing tensions over the war in Iran. Plus, they examine Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's economic pressure campaign against Iran, Obama's return to the campaign trail, and concerns about Elon Musk's influence over social media and political messaging. And the brothers celebrate the release of their new book, WTF America?!: The Way Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy, available now wherever books are sold!
