Not just food shortages but also higher prices on everything and many farmers going bankrupt.
It will be interesting to see if farmers are stupid enough to vote for Trump-like Republican candidates in 2026 and 2028. They've been hit HARD by Trump policies. They have been screwed. I wonder if they are still on board the Trump train... 🤔
The grocery are going ever higher, gas is going higher. The poor that voted for Trump are starting to have buyer remorse. You get what you pay for. You get what you deserve!
Not my fault, don't look at me. Just to be clear, I often wear this "Don't blame me, I voted for her" shirt 👇
Billionaires buy up farmland when farmers go bankrupt. Put in more mass surveillance Data Centers. Shady Vance is connected to an investment app that buys up shares of farmland.
I'm is a very red state. There are now 3 data centers scheduled to be built and 2 more in the works. One of the centers just bragged how it will be employing 50 people. Ugh
What state? It’s not just Data Centers that are taking over but, detention centers too. What is the U.S. to become?? Please read the article by Migrant Insider about how a Canadian firm out of Montreal was just awarded $704M to build a detention center in a small town AZ. Now our Gov is giving our tax dollars to foreign countries to turn our country into a hell hole??? I knew tRump hated America…
I'm in the AR. Huckabee-Sanders is our governor. They've been able to keep extra prisons from being built so far. She is a mini-Trump and does about as well as he is doing. Oh, and cares for the people just like him. When she first started her term she had the legislature vote that her budget could not be viewed by the public. She said it was for her safety.
These GOP people are all the same .. self absorbed narcissistic opportunists and to hell with the larger wellness of society. Thanks. I just hope many have converted to anything else after everything we’re witnessing and experiencing out of this regime. Take care.
This is egregious corruption at the worse possible level I have ever seen with such disregard for the sacrifice the military he is ordering to battle while Trump KNOWS he is Making Money off his Preemptive Illegal War !!!! Trump Making Money and all around him Making Money while ordering War Crimes should be what wakes up the Senate TODAY !!!!!! I am appalled by this and YOU should be TOO !!!!!!

At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them.

You are growing and expanding because you are not afraid to speak truth to power. You have the straight facts and the receipts to back them up. We know we can count on you and your team for honesty and integrity. Thank you for a job well done on a daily basis. You are most appreciated.
Yes I appreciate what you are doing! I am doing lots of grassroots organizing and don’t have the focus these days for long form podcasts anymore. I am super appreciative of the shorter 15-20 min videos, especially Aaron Parnas and you Ben. Glad to be in this together!
It’s so funny you say that, because as I was writing I was kind of thinking about that. But I had already wrote what I wrote. Haha, but yes I did agree with that. Thank you for your input.
I have You Tube Premium . So worth it. No ads. No pop ups. All the Meidas Touch videos. And alot of great old shows.And more . It's all I have is MTN and YTP. No reason to need anything else . Everyone I care to listen to in two places.
I agree. I have blocked so many sites that pop up. I want to watch Ben and MTN only. I know you have to allow th ads but dang. I watch no matter what to hear the facts and the truth. Love you guys.
1) Encourage employers of all sizes to close on election day (with or without pay)
2) Encourage all people to identify & assist those vulnerable with Obtaining Required ID/Documentation
3) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable with Access To Physical Polls - ready to pivot to last minute changing of poll locations without notice
4) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable by Providing ‘Cover’ and Representation for them at The Polls
5) Encourage all - Starting NOW - Well Ahead Of The Midterms, that these measures May Be Necessary and To Anticipate the Subversion and likelihood of Federal Agents being Present at The Polls
6) Encourage all to phone camera image their Voting Machine Receipt Scroll Pages Where Possible - (How can this be PRE-organized to Prevail if needed against the claims of “Fraud?”)
7) PRE-address messaging to Gen Z on a mass scale to minimize turnout insufficiency / Stimulate Their Future politics and Power To Effect Change
Well done. I would add plans for all voters to flood the polling areas as buffers for others attempting to vote. We can be the life ring for our fellow voters. Go to the polls vote, and then stay to begin amassing the area with human buffers
I was trying to remember how I even came across Substack. The important thing is.. I found you and Aaron! I definitely go to your news first. These days are so overwhelming. Thank you for all you do in giving us the truth!!
Thanks to all of you independent journalists who keep your viewers and listeners tuned in to the truth despite the obstacles placed in your path. We value your efforts and continued reporting because without it, citizens of this country would be kept in the dark. Remain diligent covering the Epstein files, voter suppression, and the monumental corruption within this administration and the Trump family members.
Thank you Ben and all the brothers along with Meidas Touch contributors for giving me a touch of sanity in these trying times.
If I were to suggest anything to improve the Meidas Touch network it would be to invite Heather Cox Richardson onto your platform. She is a historian that Fact Checks subjects she broadcasts on her daily “Letters to an American”.
Yes, I think you are meeting the moment! Katie Phang and Scott McFarlane are great additions. Thank you for putting so much of your time and energy into informational truth for all of us!! It would be a dark, dark world without independent media...
I am following you from Europe. You absolutely meet the moment. Early enough you began building this place for independent journalism. It’s incredibly important and I want to see it grow and spread. Thank you and everyone in your team!
Trump will be the cause of global food shortages. He’s an evil SOB.
Not just food shortages but also higher prices on everything and many farmers going bankrupt.

My conscience is clean because I have NEVER liked, supported, or voted for Donald Trump EVER!
Sadly we are the ones who pay for his Ego every day.
In so many ways!

What are they going to do when there's no food?

I never understood how she got elected. It had to be money. It certainly wasn't real people.
Less data ' more people; frankly I'm sick of being controlled by a bunch of machines. There is no substitute for real intelligence.
In wisconsin last year I saw a lot of "Farmers for trump" signs painted on barns. You are right, he sure didn't do them any favors.
He cheated; everyone knows it but they refuse to investigate and acknowledge it. What's he holding over all of them?Where is the power coming from?
Thank you Aaron for your diligence
I’m not Aaron but I’ll take the compliment 🤣
Sure! Positive words for you too!
Meanwhile, he and his cronies have made billions on the back of Americans. It’s ok to change your minds MAGA. we won’t hold it against you.

A practice run for the same in the Taiwan Strait?

He already is
Thanks Ben for keeping us informed, I just wish trump would just go away, a mental hospital maybe.

AARON PARNAS for PRESIDENT. LOVE HIS WORK
I would vote for him in a heartbeat!!!
I just read something he aired saying somebody took his sight and put it on Trump web.
My dear Ben, I’m so proud of you. I’m thankful for Meidas Touch. I have followed you since the very beginning. You are doing a great job.
Whoot Whoot! Keep going after the traitors! Love you Ben, and your team!
Remember when the brothers looked so nervous in the beginning. They had no idea how MeidasTouch would take off. It's always been facts and truth.
Ditto here!!
You are growing and expanding because you are not afraid to speak truth to power. You have the straight facts and the receipts to back them up. We know we can count on you and your team for honesty and integrity. Thank you for a job well done on a daily basis. You are most appreciated.
Stay safe you Meidas leaders! We appreciate your hard work and you are our voices too!
Just please watch your backs...
Yes I appreciate what you are doing! I am doing lots of grassroots organizing and don’t have the focus these days for long form podcasts anymore. I am super appreciative of the shorter 15-20 min videos, especially Aaron Parnas and you Ben. Glad to be in this together!
This is such great news! I love to see Medias continue to grow. Everyone involved is so knowledgeable of what they do.
If I had one critic it is I wish the headlines that you use could look less clickbait and more professional.
My observation has been that YouTube has the clickbait look and Substack has the professional look. What do you think?
It’s so funny you say that, because as I was writing I was kind of thinking about that. But I had already wrote what I wrote. Haha, but yes I did agree with that. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for identifying ACTIONS that every citizen can take to protect the ONLY, most IMPORTANT POWER that we have! ELECTIONS.
Thank you, Nancy! We can’t let Trump bulldoze over us again after he’s done it twice - even if this time coming up, it becomes subversion - which he will! So - please Restack: https://concernedcomposer.substack.com/p/november-is-everything-if-we-make?r=5mlw0r&utm_medium=ios

Absolutely What To Do!!
You got me with your first sentence! If we make it!
Ben, I never miss a post from you, your brothers, Ron and everyone on your team. I am SO thankful for your dedication every single day. Truth matters!
Ditto! Never miss a newscast!
Same here!
I was trying to remember how I even came across Substack. The important thing is.. I found you and Aaron! I definitely go to your news first. These days are so overwhelming. Thank you for all you do in giving us the truth!!

Please do some deep-dive reporting on Vought and the OMB. What’s going on there?
rump family $Laundry!
Thank you Ben and all the brothers along with Meidas Touch contributors for giving me a touch of sanity in these trying times.
If I were to suggest anything to improve the Meidas Touch network it would be to invite Heather Cox Richardson onto your platform. She is a historian that Fact Checks subjects she broadcasts on her daily “Letters to an American”.
I agree.
Here is my comment: I wish MeidasTouch was running the government!
I would eat, sleep and breathe better if you were.
Keep on doing what you are doing. We need you.
Ben for PRES!!!!!
We see how hard u all are working at MT and appreciate it. Also love AP
Yes, I think you are meeting the moment! Katie Phang and Scott McFarlane are great additions. Thank you for putting so much of your time and energy into informational truth for all of us!! It would be a dark, dark world without independent media...
Enjoy this group and look here to find out what is really going on! Good to know someone is watching our place! Thank you all for what you do!
Utterly pathetic how Kushner and Witcoff fly around the world accomplishing NOTHING. These two tweedles are at the epicenter of failure.
I am following you from Europe. You absolutely meet the moment. Early enough you began building this place for independent journalism. It’s incredibly important and I want to see it grow and spread. Thank you and everyone in your team!
AGREED-WORTHLESS INSULTS!
