On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss a rapidly widening global crisis as tankers are struck in the Strait of Hormuz, Russia escalates its assault on Ukraine, and Americans get slammed by record-high diesel prices and surging gas costs. The brothers break down Trump’s claims that he “controls” the Strait even as he moves thousands more U.S. troops and another carrier strike group toward the Middle East, raising the stakes of an already catastrophic war. They also examine Trump’s threats against U.S. allies over emergency fuel supplies, his bogus $54 billion South Korea announcement, and Canada’s accelerating push to reduce its dependence on the United States. Finally, they cut through the propaganda surrounding the escalating conflicts and examine Trump’s increasingly desperate message as the midterms close in.Pre-order the new book from MeidasTouch, WTF America?!: The Way Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy, today: https://bit.ly/wtfamericayoutubeDeals from our sponsors! Leaf Filter: Schedule your free inspection today at http://leaffilter.com/MEIDAS.
