You do our country and the world a great service by reporting the truth backed up by receipts. We are tired of this evil regime and all the lies. These people need to pay for all the damage they’ve done to our country and pay dearly. WE THE PEOPLE will take our country back and make it better, so this evilness won’t happen again.

Thanks Ben for your tenacity.

Why should Americans continue to pay to care for these money grubbing individuals, instead of sending them to El Salvador it would be more efficient to put them on an u inhabited island. Alcatraz is too good of a place for them!

Hey! What about Epstein's Island? Minus any staff, of course. Trump could clean the sauna and the toilets, seeing as he seems to be so familiar with them.

Shame on all those who bent the knee, obeyed in advance. Joe and Mika Scarborough were the first and it has left a lasting stain on their reputation. We owe much to Meidas for keeping us informed about the things that really matter like democracy, affordability, health care and what the most corrupt administration in United States history is doing to destroy our economy and country.

Post-Trump World is a world we all long for and scaring the living daylights out of many of his cohorts. Things must be done since Trump has shown he’s the not the Affordability President, but the Pardon President. Hegseth and company need to be held accountable.

But then what about the Vance/Thiel world?We have to fear what those 2 knuckle draggers have planned.

It’s going to take a tsunami of courageous, savvy Dems to overwhelm the criminal elements everywhere in the regime. There are still so many sneaky creepy bastards running around,not just in the US but all around the world unfortunately ☹️

Vance will not have the power or influence of Trump. Trump has been enabled because of his weird connection to his base, their peculiar infatuation with him. That doesn't transfer and Vance in particular has no appeal to that group anymore than to us. He's a weak, pathetic figure, a pretender, not a powerfu l"he man" (in their eyes) like Trump. People won't follow Vance off a cliff.

agree with you...too many people are optimistic that all the dominoes will fall once you take out trump....that will not be the case. these billionaires + white supremists are entrenching themselves and their power....THERE IS NO RETURN TO NORMAL POLITICS AFTER trump+billionaires+white supremists 2.0.

for those who haven't watched it...a really good BBC documentary on Prime video, Trump and the Tech Titans… starting with Thiel, Musk, Sacks, and, of course, it has gained all the traction in the world with the ‘trump+billionaires’ 2nd term. they want freedom to innovate and make money - they don’t want any consequences (regulations) that will make them consider the mere mortals (we the 99%)….

Billionaires now have zero conscience, they don’t need to be religious or bound by morals, and they are NOT going to give up what trump has given them….THE POWER TO RULE THE ECONOMY THEIR WAY WITHOUT CONCERN FOR THE REST OF US…..

PUTIN’S MODEL OF DICTATORSHIP + BILLIONAIRES HAS ARRIVED IN USA - AND DOES NOT INTEND TO LEAVE…..

Billionaires have always had unusual power in our democracy, with trump they now have complete power. I doubt that a democratic administration can change it very much going forward, and anyway, they (billionaires) don’t want to go back to democrats and democracy….they are lying cheating selfish people….and all Liberals take note…..NO COMPASSION FOR BILLIONAIRES PLEEEEEZ (if you give them an inch they will take a mile).

Bernie and AOC say ‘fight the oligarchy’ - they need a new slogan….most americans don’t have a clue what oligarchy means…. maybe ‘fight the dictatorship of billionaires?’

rest assured, WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE.... 78 million people ensured this fact and those 78million OWN IT completely.....the minorities, poor, and union workers among them are going to feel excruciating pain for the rest of their lives because they gave trump the go-ahead to turn america into a putin-style fake democracy where the dictator and his oligarchs will ensure they will hold the strings of power for decades to come.....they are planning to destroy all the good that zohran mamdani will do…. We need an army o mamdanis’ AOC’s, jasmine’s….and more YOUNG people hooking in to the true facts published in meidas and other ‘non-fake/non-billionaire/non-corporate media…

WHAT CAN WE HOPE FOR POST TRUMP+BILLIONAIRES+WHITE SUPREMISTS? WHAT WILL OUR COUNTRY LOOK LIKE? OUR NORMS? OUR EXPECTATIONS – OR LACK THEREOF? WILL WE JUST TAKE WHATEVER WE CAN GET AND TRY TO BE HAPPY???????? i am really battling with this....will every politician just apply the usual/old-fashioned approach and strategies? hope not...carville and all the so-called pundits NEVER come up with anything radical to change the way the government works, they just come up with ways to appease the voters with more programs..... WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WITH F**KING BRAINS that will do what's right for 'WE THE PEOPLE'? politicians will keep things the way they are because they ALLLLLLLL make money while on the CONGRESSIONAL GRAVYTRAIN.

There is a possibility that the regime will be stronger with Vance. He (Vance) is under Peter Thiel's thumb and therefore not a loose cannon like trump. Highly likely MAGA people will not follow Vance, but also highly likely the Christian Nationalists will follow Vance. Recommend reading the book 'Evil Geniuses' by Kurt Anderson. He gives a thorough background of how we got to the 1st trump regime.

Fight billionaires with boycotting..we gave them the funds, we can cut them off.

ajay ess's avatar

i’ve always liked the idea of boycotting, but it is never as simple as that…. billionaires and large corporations have fingers in soooooo many pies, we’d actually have a problem with driving cars, putting gas or electricity into them, having a mortgage, using cell phones, investing for retirement, watching a movie etc etc…they are all tainted by billionaire and large corporate wealth. i’m ok with picking a few obvious ones (like not buying a tesla) but seeing as elon is getting a $trillion pay package after the boycott reduced sales and profits for a while, the wealthy will just ignore us ‘mere plebian mortals’ because they know they have tied up the world economy in their pretty bows.

the last few decades have firmly put us into this very sad state of economic slavery…..but doing something, anything, no matter how big or small, will definitely make us feel a little better for a while :)

You and your brothers do us a great service by exposing as much corruption and bad governance as possible, although it’s difficult to keep up with it all! Quick question: right now we are focusing on the murders at sea, but what about the people who have died in ICE custody, have completely disappeared due to ICE thugs, etc? How many people is this murderous and corrupt responsible for killing? This is crime beyond anything we ever imagined.

Looking for news that is off the radar, not seen every day, out of the lens? Look no further than my substack where I pick up the news that is not viral, not trending, and not being reported everywhere. I have written a separate piece on Immigration - though I did not put in stats on missing and dead... unfortunately, accuracy in this area will not be forthcoming --

(Internet AI) "Official data on the number of people missing from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids is not available; however, advocacy groups report a lack of transparency that has led to individuals being unaccounted for after being detained. As for deaths, at least 23 people have died in ICE custody in fiscal year 2025, the highest annual number since 2004."

Just one comment Ben. I am starting to get a little annoyed at the amount of exaggeration your channel does. Sometimes the titles of the podcasts are exaggerations and sometimes the comments on the content. For example, you said Trump slammed his hand on the desk and walked out. That is not what I saw. I saw a man using his hand to help him get up. No anger in the action. I don't want this network to become like fox. Please just give us the facts. Show us the videos without your comments so we can judge for ourselves. After we have the facts, the you can say what you think, clearly stating that it is opinion. There are enough crazy things going on without any need to to make something sound like more than it is.

The best thing that anyone who wants a well rounded knowledge base from what is happening in the world is to read/listen to/watch many sources including Meidas. Otherwise, we all get caught up in a bubble where we might just get too comfortable.

I read meidas and watch a lot of videos... but I also get news from substack.com posts and other journalists like Jonathan Larsen, Adam Parkhomenko, Ezra Levin, Marc Elias, Jason Eeasley, Brian Tyler Cohen, Glenn Kirschner, Pete Buttigieg, Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger, Farron Cousins, Chirstopher Titus, Cliff Cash, Trey Crowder, Aaron Ruper, Eric Swalwell, Gavin Newsom, Zohran Mamdani - and more - I also get my news from Ground.news. You can subscribe with a 40% discount to Ground.news, which actually tells you where the news is from, who owns the media you are reading, whether it's left, right, or center, and how factual it all is....

I also read articles and posts from individuals. The one's who provide citations get my interest... the ones who are just providing opinions, not so much so. I want news so I can share it with everyone else.

Yes, I'm with you Clare. Personally, I like Ben. He's sincere and humble, but he loses me when he exaggerates, and he does it more frequently now. It's his opinion, but sometimes I don't see the reaction that he does in the video. My intuition and eyes tell me different. I've responded the odd time to point it out, but I really do doubt he reads the comments.

@Clare Sullivan when I first began following Meidas I thought the same as you about video titles and exaggerations; I even thought that some of them were in very bad taste, especially those referring to Trump’s mental illness and/or dementia. Some of the remarks about his skin or parts of his body were too visceral, they turned my stomach; they seemed unwarranted, even cruel. In an ideal media world nobody would need to make shocking remarks to gain attention, or sacrifice dignity and truth to be heard by an audience. Several weeks later I’ve now changed my mind because I’ve realised that Meidas is in competition with other content on YouTube, X etc. where no holds are barred. In fact, by comparison, Meidas titles and exaggerated opinion is often mild. It’s my belief now that the issue is to gain attention and increase subscribers, to spread information as widely as possible and to grow the network in a highly competitive environment. The way this is done may not be to our liking, but Meidas knows what it’s doing having expertise in it’s field, and does it deliberately. In the UK we’d call this tabloid journalism, we’d refer to sensationalist reporters as the gutter press and we’d be very snobby and look down on it all from a great height 😆 but the other side to this is that in this word war against this US regime, anything goes, the opposition is fair game and whatever works, works.
