MeidasTouch magnificently meets our deep need for independent, fact-based reporting. MAGA’s most passionately expressed need is to exhibit their worst selves, day and night.

I agree. I'm a proud GenXer, so once again MAGA knows nothing about the MTN audience. The fact that there are many generations viewing MTN should tell them that people want a fact based news source. Not the BS that Fox "News " and other crazy right wing nut cases are putting out there. And btw, Trump has been a POS at least since the 80s when I first knew of him. And, is even worse today.

Keep up the great work MTN. And, thank you for continuing to knock the lying right wing media of their thrones.

Nicole's heart and soul is already a part of the Meidas family. She is where she is supposed to be at this time.

I often wonder aboot Katy Tur......"little Katie" was a thorn in Oranges ass during the the O1 election cycle.........anyone know whats up????

I loved Ben's comment that 'People who are alpha don't go around calling themselves alpha.' Reminds me of the old saying, "A lion never has to tell you it's a lion."

I've said elsewhere that throughout the interview, Wallace appears to bear a really pained expression, almost like she was at a funeral, & in a way she WAS, & it was the funeral perhaps for the validity of MSM, in the wake of a new paradigm.

When Nicole joined MSNBC years ago I wondered how it would work out because she had been a vocal Republican prior to that point. I guess the slick bosses thought she'd be a good 'persuader' in their quest to push things to the Right? Hasn't actually worked out that way ! Now Nicole seems to have been persuaded Left a little - just enough to recognize facts from the silly screeches from her prior mates on the Right.

She was one of a bunch of new ladies that MSNBC brought on to give their channel more ooomph. Katy Tur was one, who now seems to have vanished, the only one they did not get control of at all is Alex Wagner - my favorite, altho I don't see her now as I don't watch TV at all these days !

Katy Tur's life story is a movie.......both her books are amazing. She has been through alot. Since the cable tv has been cancelled, I catch her clips on MSNBC.. She still has got it......great interviews and on top of what is going on.

I’ve been watching you through all my friends but I’m so sad I missed the interview with Nicole as I’m an MSNBC News Nerd. Can I see a repeat somehow now that I just bought my year’s membership Pleease?? I’m a big donor for 81/2 yrs & if they stop my SS I’ll never be able to continue or my Medicare as I’m presently a year clear fighting cancer after 2 yrs of treatments and did it alone as I lost my very disabled husband 7 yrs ago. But he wanted to leave winter weather so here I am stuck in FloriDUH for 25 yrs. It’s so bloody red here I barely go out & now Alligator Alcatraz is here & that’s terrifying me! I research & watch every documentary out there from Drump(3) , Epstein, Roy Cohn, 3 Christian Nationalist docs so if you haven’t seen them, you all should so very informative. I’ve seen every Hitler & Nazi movie most my life being Jewish as my immigrant parents being persecuted were brought here when they were very young & loved America, freedom & raising their families without the fears. Both Grandfathers came here, got work, homes & sent tix for the ship to Ellis Island oddly the same year. My Dad from Kyiv, Ukraine during the Bolshevik Revolution almost losing my Grandmother but as a very small 13 y/o saved her by pleading & crying but fascinating scary stories he relayed late in my life & his younger sister also made it across Europe no less. My Mom came from Hungary family of 6 with my other Grandmother but closer to the ship & she was 8y/o 2nd youngest. Both my families had 2 more Children in the U.S. so I had many cousins between Philly where my father settled & Pittsburgh area W. Pa.near Ohio state line. THEY are the ones who built America to greatness. I don’t know if you’ve seen as the documentaries but the 3 of you SHOULD, so very informative about the cruel subjects. Text me if you want the list of names and where to view them, most on Netflix but others on Tubi, free stream. I also caught a Substack by Zev & Olga on Epstein & Drump which was deep gong way back to ‘79 & ‘83 knowing many foreigners with knowledge about how both of those pedophiles, Cons & thieves were Russian agents & assets in different areas. Epstein first & not just money dealings with Vlad et al but sex trafficking too. MOST of these evil fascists, dicktators & Oligarchs are demented & perverted. You MUST find them on Substack or hopefully you have. Being alone & somewhat reclusive I am perhaps too involved lending to stress & fear but compelled to know facts. However concerned for my Grandchildren’s future. Wish I had much more to leave them but my husband & I always gave to our daughter when she & her husband needed it. He always said it’ll be less you get when I die except I’m still here so I do the best I can investing and I have no one else but me to support so I’m frugal so I can help UNLESS they stop my husband’s SS check which I get his not mine which was small. My Capt. Ron was right they will be the death of me 😱🤦‍♀️

As uncomfortable & frankly terrifying as it might be, "Katie Johnson" really needs to step out of the shadows & talk openly about her assault, about the death threats, talk about the pressure, talk about being overwhelmed by the trumpf strong arm (or Worse) tactics to get she & her family to shut up.

Expand full comment
VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

I agree but she has given a deposition from what I understand so the documentation is out there. I saw and heard her testimony on Mind Wars and it is incredibly believable. She wasn't the only one either. This has been a tactic that both Epstein and Trump have used before, many times. That's their "little secret." Yet even the so-called Christians in his MAGA Klan refuse to acknowledge it. I say, what if it were YOUR little girl crying and screaming for him to STOP!??? She was 13 for god's sake! He was 45 and Ivanka, that she reminded him of was also 13! I hope MeidasTouch can amplify Katie's story.

Schmendryck's avatar

I'm sorry to say this so plainly, but Midas amplifying it is NOT going to reach the people it needs to reach, and may work against our interests by virtue of the reaction that might as amplification of the story may bring. As big as their audience has grown, we keep seeing the same names here again & again, & so few of them are coming over from the other side (except for trolls). And it's a real risk for Midas to amplify her story, in that it could justifiably be called exploitation. "Katie Johnson" herself needs to come out & speak, maybe to Midas, but not FIRST, & definitely to mainstream media & even to the right wing sources that are willing to hear her, & amplify her comments which have really been muffled in the ensuing years. And frankly, it puts a shadow on everything else that Michael Cohen says, because he was THERE when the strong arm tactics were applied to Johnson & her family, & he KNOWS the story & he's been as quiet as she has, even MORE so, so if we want to put pressure anywhere it would begin by being put upon Midas-collaborator Michael Cohen.

The mentality comes from not facing the fact that they have been and are a racist country. They can't "move on" until they've dealt with that basic issue in their lives. Children should be taught and exposed to this in their homes and schools. Trump knows that and it's probably why he's getting more determined to make sure it never happens.
