Podcast: The MeidasTouch Podcast
Date: February 16, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas

Main Theme

This episode dives deep into the unsettling connections between Ivanka Trump’s modeling career, her father Donald Trump, and notorious figures Jeffrey Epstein and John Casablancas. The hosts, particularly Ben Meiselas, unpack newly uncovered Epstein files and revisit public interviews and photos, raising questions about the Trump family’s associations and behavior—especially as they pertain to Ivanka’s youth and the company her father kept.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Circle Around Young Ivanka: Connections to Epstein and Casablancas (03:20–07:45)

• The episode highlights archival photos of Donald Trump, his children (Ivanka and Eric), Jeffrey Epstein, and John Casablancas—a modeling industry figure infamous for predatory behavior.
• Key insight: Ivanka Trump, at 15, began working with Elite Model Management, run by Casablancas, a man with documented sexual abuse accusations.
• Ben Meiselas rigorously details Casablancas's abusive history—including lawsuits describing incidents where minors were exploited through Casablancas and Epstein’s circles.

“John Casablancas was a pedo... He would say he was dating girls when they were 15... This is who Donald Trump brought his children around.” — Ben (04:00)

• Lawsuits mention Epstein assaulting underage girls sent over by Casablancas for casting calls, cementing the gravity of the associations.

2. Steve Bannon, Epstein, and the Trump/“Princess” Narrative (07:00–07:40)

• The hosts cite files detailing discussions between Steve Bannon and Epstein about Trump’s leadership, referencing Ivanka as ‘the princess.’
• Bannon and Epstein are noted to have discussed Trump’s worldview and their efforts influencing global right-wing movements (e.g., MAGA in Brazil, Brexit).

“Donald now thinks he is King, Ivanka a princess. He doesn’t need advisors, especially generals—they held him back...” — Reading from Epstein files (07:20)

3. Ivanka’s Early Modeling Career: Normalization or Exploitation? (07:45–11:06)

• The hosts express concern at media coverage from the mid-90s sexualizing Ivanka when she was only 15, including mentions of her in “see-through white dresses” and as “sexy,” all while under her father’s oversight and guidance.
• They play archival clips of Ivanka discussing her modeling career:
  • Ivanka (08:43): “I model because I love to model, and it’s something I enjoy doing. So I don’t think it’s fair they made me sound greedy about it.”
• Clips of Donald Trump discussing Ivanka's modeling (“She’s had very little rejection... She really understands how life works. Eyes, the eyes.” — Trump, 09:49) are juxtaposed with footage of Ivanka picking out outfits and bantering with stylists.

4. Donald Trump’s Public Comments on Ivanka: Deeply Uncomfortable Dynamics (12:44–20:42)

• Multiple high-profile interviews resurface where Trump makes sexualized comments about his daughter:

  • On Howard Stern (13:13):

    Stern: “By the way, your daughter... she’s beautiful, can I say this? A piece of ass.”
    Trump: “Actually, always been very voluptuous. She’s almost six feet tall.”

  • On Wendy Williams (13:55):

    Interviewer: “Favorite thing you have in common with your daughter?”
    Ivanka: “Either real estate or golf.”
    Trump: “Well, I was going to say sex, but I can’t relate that.”

  • On The View (14:21):

    Trump: “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

  • On Tiffany Trump (16:49):

    Trump, about Marla Maples’ baby Tiffany: “We don’t know whether or not she’s got this part yet, but time will tell.” (referring to breast size)

• The hosts (especially Ben) call these patterns “dark and disgusting,” questioning the normalization and public laughter surrounding these moments.

5. The Broader Epstein Network: Model Agencies, Predators, and Cover-ups (17:05–18:39)

• Revisiting figures like Jean-Luc Brunel (another model agent closely linked to Epstein, himself later found dead in a French prison) underscores the toxicity of Trump’s social and professional circles during Ivanka’s adolescence.

6. Media Perspective and Recaps (18:39–20:42)

• Includes a CNN montage reiterating the public’s unease with Trump’s remarks, and documenting Ivanka’s ongoing defense of her father as “respectful.”
  • CNN/Trump: “Yeah, she’s six feet tall. She’s got the best body.”
  • Ivanka (CBS): “He has total respect for [women].”

Tone and Conclusion

The episode is serious, direct, and at times incredulous, as Ben and the hosts are clearly disturbed by the cumulative effect of Trump’s comments and associations. They consistently refer to the evidence as “dark,” “disgusting,” and “deeply concerning,” but stress they are sharing opinions based on public facts, files, and on-air moments.

“I’m just grossed out even sharing this stuff over here.” — Ben (17:05)

The MeidasTouch brothers encourage listeners to reflect on the “darkness underlying the normalization of this behavior,” especially given the newly public connections between the Trumps, Epstein, Casablancas, and other known predators.

For listeners or readers, this episode serves as a disturbing but well-documented review of the problematic social and familial climate Ivanka Trump was raised in, with a focus on the ties between Donald Trump, the modeling industry, and predatory men like Epstein and Casablancas. The take-away is as much about the reality of these circles as about the media’s and public’s failure to reckon with the warning signs over the years.
