Hey Meidas Mighty. I want you to know, whenever and wherever you are reading this, that I have your back, the MeidasTouch Network has your back, and the entire Meidas Mighty have your back. We are in this together. You are not alone. You are connected to the millions of other members of this community and to the pro-democracy community across the world.
With all the chaos taking place and with all the madness, it can feel like whack-a-mole sometimes trying to keep up.
That’s why, during the time we have together on this Substack, I want to slow down for a second.
I want to take this time to acknowledge you.
I want to acknowledge your bravery and your strength. I want to acknowledge that the MeidasTouch Network and the Meidas Mighty are nothing without you.
Never let them take away your power and your hope. You built this network. You built this community. Your actions have allowed for the void to be filled to challenge the threats before us as the corporate media has abandoned us all.
I want you to know that you’re my inspiration.
When you see me in the videos I make throughout the day, and during live shows, it is you who gives me the inspiration each day. I have told you from day 1 my pledge, but for those new Subscribers here, let me reiterate it here:
I will never obey. I will never submit. I will never be censored. I pledge to fearlessly report every day on your behalf. I will report on and continue to expose America’s authoritarian regime until my last breath and they will be forced to rip the microphone from my hand if they want to shut me up. I will stand up to the fascist bullies and I will punch back with the ferocity of the Meidas Mighty.
I am not scared of the authoritarian American regime. I am at peace with leaving my past career as a litigator to be here with you full-time, leading this network and steering this pro-democracy ship with you by my side.
We will never sell out to the oligarchs or billionaires. You are our only stakeholders. We will report fearlessly and relentlessly to meet the moment.
Over the past 48 hours, we have received over 24 million views on our YouTube channel alone. We are now the most-watched YouTube channel in America, in Canada, and in most countries in the world.
We are beating Fox News.
We are beating CNN. We are beating NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and every other network.
None of this is possible without you.
I know there is a lot of rough news right now and it all can feel very overwhelming. That’s an understatement; I know.
I just want you to know that I will do everything I can to fight for you. You are the reason I do this.
My words here are not sufficient to describe my gratitude for you.
Please remember, if you are feeling down, you have friends and people here in this community who are here for you.
If we stick together, we will get through this together.
If we hold strong and hold the line, we are going to get through this together.
It’s going to be extra sweet when we make it through this together. We will share the story of how we banded together and protected democracy for future generations.
I know that it may be unusual for the head of a media network, like me, to say things like this and discuss my emotions, and my feelings, and our feelings.
But as you know, this is more than a media network. We are a bit unusual, I suppose. But that is our strength.
This is a community where we promote the values of empathy, love, compassion, equality, truth-telling, and democracy.
We didn’t grow to be the biggest media network on YouTube by speaking for billionaires. We grew to be the biggest network by taking on and beating the billionaires by unleashing the power of “we the people.”
We love you, Meidas Mighty. We are right here by your side. In solidarity for a better tomorrow. We will get there. Together.
