Description

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the latest surprise terrible polling for Donald Trump, which he’s desperately trying to spin away with new stunts. Meanwhile, Trump’s cabinet nominees are getting roasted in their confirmation hearings as Democrats push back against his extreme picks.

And finally, we reflect on President Biden’s farewell address—his powerful message to the nation and what it means for the future of democracy. Tune in for all this and more!
