MeidasTouch Network | July 31, 2025
Hosts: Anthony Davis (B), Ron Filipkowski (A)
Episode Overview
In this explosive episode, British journalist Anthony Davis and former federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski dissect the week's most consequential stories that the mainstream and corporate media won’t touch—focusing heavily on Donald Trump’s eyebrow-raising comments about Jeffrey Epstein, recent events in the California gubernatorial race, MAGA propaganda distractions, and other notable scandals. With characteristic wit and forensic analysis, the hosts expose the tactics, misinformation, and questionable characters dominating Republican politics.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Kamala Harris NOT Running for Governor (00:13–09:27)
- Harris announces she will not run for Governor of California, leaving the race wide open (00:13).
- Newsom cannot serve another term; prominent names like Lieutenant Governor Kounalakis (endorsed by Hillary Clinton), Katie Porter are discussed as possible contenders.
- Speculation abounds as to whether this signals a 2028 presidential run for Harris:
- Davis doubts it, suggesting personal priorities and stress, particularly marital strain, could be a factor (02:44).
- Filipkowski: “Democrats tend not to go back to the well when they have somebody who lost, although I don’t necessarily believe you can blame her for that loss.”
- Discussion of right-wing rumors about Harris’s family and how planted stories circulate in the influencer ecosystem (04:53–07:10).
2. Democratic Void & Need for Leadership (07:29–09:27)
- Davis and Filipkowski agree there’s a lack of visible Democratic leadership/candidates right now, and that more voices are needed in the media space to counterbalance MAGA messaging.
3. Trump, Epstein, and the "Stunning Confession" (09:27–20:34)
- Trump’s deflection trip to Scotland is analyzed as an extravagant grift and distraction from Epstein questions (09:27).
- Trump gives muddled, incriminating answers about Epstein “stealing his spa workers,” specifically referencing Virginia Giuffre who was trafficked as a minor—saying, “he stole her...she had no complaints about us” (12:31).
- Davis: “You’re talking about child sex trafficking, and he has to talk about how Mar-A-Lago has one of the best spas in the world.” (13:31)
- Filipkowski, as a former criminal defense lawyer, is aghast: “His people are saying the same thing every time he talks about this subject...the smart thing for any politician is to say nothing” (13:45).
- Insight: Trump’s inability to stay silent is both his strength (flooding the zone with controversy, delighting his fans) and a fatal weakness (16:27). His story about Epstein changes repeatedly and now contradicts available evidence, especially the timeline (16:45–18:51).
- Filipkowski: “He keeps changing his story about why he ended his relationship with Epstein. He’s given like four different versions.”
- Federal prosecutor perspective: in child sex crimes, perpetrators confess at higher rates; Trump continually returns to the subject, perhaps because he cannot resist talking or because his base demands responses (19:19–20:34).
4. The Epstein Files & the "Credible Evidence" Loophole (20:54–24:47)
- Michael Wolff (Trump and Epstein biographer) claims to have seen photos of Trump with underage girls at Epstein’s home, adding pressure.
- Filipkowski highlights how Trump is now hedging by requiring only “credible evidence” from the files be released, giving his team a way to suppress damaging content (22:10).
- Mike Johnson and others reinforce the "credible evidence" language—clearly a crafted legal and PR strategy (23:00).
- Consensus: The so-called push to release “Epstein files” is likely a cover-up where inconvenient evidence will simply be labeled “not credible” and withheld.
5. GOP Propaganda, Distraction Tactics & Media Strategy (24:47–31:49)
- Discussion of right-wing talking points that try to immunize Trump—arguing, for instance, that if Biden/DOJ had anything, they’d have leaked it (24:47).
- The real reasons the Epstein files haven’t been dumped: pending appeals, legal process, the likelihood they contain dirt on powerful people of both parties.
- Trump's methods: "Flooding the zone," shifting narratives, giving supporters emotional hooks, changing international policy stances just for performative wins.
- World leaders’ approaches to Trump analyzed: European, Japanese, and other states’ leaders conceding “PR wins” to Trump to keep him placated rather than risk blowback or World War III (33:32–35:51).
- Davis: “They’re giving him credibility. They’re lending their credibility to him” (34:16).
6. International Policy and “Deal-Maker” Myth Debunked (30:38–38:13)
- Trump’s purported international “victories” (like the Japan and EU trade promises) are, in fact, largely hollow—just verbal pledges without substance or legally binding commitments.
- Davis: “It’s all performative and that’s all that Trump wants—is the opportunity to make an announcement...” (31:49)
- Filipkowski: “If you throw something, if you promise him something that looks like a win, he’ll go away.” (30:38)
- The EU and Japan’s gestures are intended for domestic consumption, while truly consequential issues like Chinese policy go unresolved.
7. Media Analysis & Misinformation (38:13–45:55)
- Fox News’ coverage of Trump’s trade war: Charlie Gasparino gives rare pushback, stating plainly that tariffs are a tax on US consumers (41:56).
- Filipkowski: “They have a huge audience of brainwashed people. And I knew Charlie was going to tell the truth, and he did.” (43:53)
- The hosts emphasize the need to scrutinize numbers & economic data independently, given concerns about White House-controlled messaging.
8. Obama-Russia Conspiracy Resurfaces (52:00–58:33)
- Distraction from Epstein questions: Right-wing figures attempt to revive “Obama spied on Trump” and Russiagate conspiracy theories, deploying surrogates like Markwayne Mullin, who is called out on basic facts by Jake Tapper (52:29–56:33).

On the Right-Wing Business Model
- Filipkowski: “If I decided to do what they do, which I would never ever do, but it would not be hard. I think I could build a massive right wing phone. All I got to do is every, every mass shooting, I just create a conspiracy behind it...” (88:34)
- Davis: “They take advantage of people’s either lack of life experience or lack of education or lack of critical thought and they just, they play into that. They know exactly what they’re doing. That’s the other thing. It’s so calculated.” (89:41)
