On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett and Jordy break down the rapidly worsening crises facing the country as inflation surges past expectations, gas prices soar, and Trump insists America is experiencing a “golden age.” Meanwhile, the war with Iran continues to spiral, tankers are being struck in the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump and Elon Musk face serious questions over their treatment of Ukraine as Russia escalates its attacks. The brothers also dive into the extraordinary scandals and infighting engulfing Trump’s inner circle, including explosive allegations involving Kimberly Guilfoyle, the sudden departure of longtime Trump associate Paolo Zampolli, and troubling questions surrounding Trump’s new press secretary. Plus, with the midterms approaching, the brothers discuss what these mounting crises reveal about the administration and the stakes ahead.

The fight for clean water has never been more daunting.

Many Americans live in places where polluters have wreaked havoc on the water systems surrounding them. Some don’t even know they are living in harm’s way.

And in the current political environment, our water is even more vulnerable. The Trump administration has weakened pollution rules for power plants and made it easier for bad actors to dump coal ash. They’ve removed protections for wetland areas and made it tougher for local communities to block pipelines.

On top of all that, the acceleration of data center construction around the country poses even greater risks for local communities.

Luke talked to two people who live in places feeling those harms. He also talked to a lawmaker who has made fighting for clean water, the environment, and his authorship of the Green New Deal, his calling card: U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.).
