Fact-Checking GOP Claims About Coverage

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the chaos of Trump’s government shutdown as Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries flips the script—publicly challenging Trump and the GOP to face the press Friday and explain themselves. We expose Trump’s stunning slip admitting that Project 2025 is his plan all along, despite over a year of denials, and highlight California Governor Gavin Newsom’s relentless trolling that keeps getting under Trump’s skin. We also cover the devastating economic fallout of Trump’s reckless policies, and more breaking developments you need to know as the stakes for our democracy and economy reach new heights. Ben, Brett and Jordy break it all down.
