On today’s episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: House Republicans ram through their latest tax scam in the dead of night, slashing essential programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance—all to bankroll giveaways for billionaires and corporations. But Democrats didn’t go down quietly, staging an all-night protest to expose the cruelty buried in the bill. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is escalating its war on education and diversity, revoking Harvard’s ability to admit international students in a disturbing new authoritarian move. We also break down the global fallout from Trump’s humiliating and racist meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, plus more breaking news and analysis you won’t hear anywhere else. Ben, Brett and Jordy break it all down.
Yes! A federal judge in Boston has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from revoking Harvard University's ability to enroll international students. This action was taken after the administration attempted to cut off Harvard's access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), a database that manages foreign student visas.
Trump better lose and hope that the judge makes a ruling that he can't do anything like this again. I don't know if he has the power, but if he does, I hope he uses it. Is it possible, that Barron's grades were not good enough for him to get into Harvard? Where is he going to college? College of trump?
I believe he is at NYU. Momma bear stays in NY most of the time to be there for him. I think he is actually living off campus in his home in Trump Tower.
Thanks for the infomation.
Angry yam will decree anything. Courts rule, appellate courts rule, scotus may or may not follow the constitution and rule. America 1.0 is done.
Yeah
The video with the crosses has been proven now to not be in south africa, but be a memorial to black women who were brutalized raped and killed in the Congo.
Even in their tragic deaths black women get disrespected by whites in this evil regime. Levitt went on and on about the white crosses being white farmers in South Africa when these are tragic deaths of black women, raped, killed Congo. Levitt needs to apologize and be shamed for her lies to the american people about murdered black women. Racist creeps all of them.
We all know that she is a part of the liar club and would never tell the truth.
The African president said that he didn't recognize the area. I wish he would have walked out on trump and told him that he wasn't there to listen to his lies.
Another lie by Trump 🌑🌑🌑
Shocker. Does anyone in this regime bother to fact-check anything? No, because they know every maga will buy what they're saying. Hook. Line. Sinker.
Just another lie from Traitor Trump.
I don’t believe the felon’s approval is that high. Must be a fox poll.
Agree
Taking to the streets peacefully is the key to success
Be aware that Trump is going to send his Magas to cause the peaceful protest to turn into riots so people can be jailed and accused of insurrection.
Those of us who have signed up to attend protests here in Florida have been advised to sit down if things become disorderly.
Do you have specially designated marshalls that can watch over the protest?
They could be trained to be on the outlook for Maggot instigators of violent acts.
The Vietnam war protests helped the anti-war movement big time.
I was talking to Angeline Butler she was part of the Civil Rights Movement in the sixties you can look her up she was a member of a group described as The Black Peter Paul and Mary.Tom Wilson who had native American ancestry produced her record Pilgrim's Just Arrived on Columbia Records She said :we had training when we were working with SCLC." She said other organizations too would teach you how to protest properly and not to get too badly hurt . She can be seen in photographs with a young John Lewis where we practiced getting in to good trouble. Angeline who is 84 is teaching up at city college about history of Slaves in South Carolina
Do you really think peaceful protest will change anything in the hearts and minds of the Felon's followers?
This is despicable! #8647
Although Trump is the face of this destruction of democracy, these are not his ideas or plans for the most part. He is the Trojan Horse put forth by Russell Vought (who now runs OBM), JD Vance, and the other Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 architects. They aren't looking to adhere to the constitution. Their plan is to remake the US government in their vision. Scary stuff. I wish more light was shed on these shadow people actually pulling the strings. If Trump went away tomorrow, the puppet masters are still in place to carry out their coup.
Yes this is true. The whole thing needs to be stopped.
The Great Gatsby and Today
Some of us may remember F Scott Fitzgerald's novel about the opulence and greed of the roaring 1920's and with Steve's comments today about the parade of wealth at dinner time one cannot but see the parallels of then and now A huge yawning wealth gap has occurred now fueled by the decade's long Fed policy of QE(money printing) to keep the spendthrift government afloat coupled with cryptocurrency speculation Vast amounts of wealth have come about due primarily to these 2 factors and have devalued the fiat dollar to 95% of what it was in the 1970's America is awash with valueless dollars that are buying less and less for the average middle class American
Now witness the dollar trade slipping below 100, equity market fixed with uncertainty, and the Orange Cheeto's tariffs(1931 Smoot Hawley anyone?) History will take care of the Nazis and Cheeto just as it did in the 1930's
History doesn't repeat itself but it certainly rhymes Word to the wise Use your inflated dollars to buy real money which is gold or silver NOT crypto There's going to be a massive wealth transfer in the next 2y
Trump got the deranged info from Felon Musk
42% approval may be low, but I still cannot get my head around this. 42% are OK with a dictator? Maybe 5% sure, I'd get that, I guess.
My thoughts also!! Folks, 42% is 142 MILLION PEOPLE SUPPORTING AN EVIL, INCOMPETENT PSYCHOPATH. 40%? 30% 20%—still appalling to me that so many could support T and his minions!!! Thousands, OK, maybe that many low information, low IQ, misinformed. But MILLIONS? HOW CAN IT BE????
42% is around 840 people because they only poll around 2,000 people. I am doubtful that 2,000 people represent the voices of 347 million people of which 223 million are adults. Polling questions are quite often skewed and not reflective of any reality, but of the desired outcome. The questions they ask do not allow for you to give your answer. You can only answer the way the want you to, or the other way they want you to. I've been included on several polls.
Then there is the overarching threat of being sued if the number drops below 40. So, remember that when he polls at 42%, that less than 1,000 people are actually stupid enough to have answered in his favor.
There are an estimated 173+ million registered voters. 155 million of them voted in the last election, 77 million for trump - though we have a bunch who have recanted.
Here is the breakdown:
31% of the registered voters are far right wing MAGAs - 53.89 million, 15% are right leaning republican/independents 26.07 million, 27% are left leaning democrat/independents 26.94 million, and 24% are liberal Dems 41.724. 3% are Other - 5.215 million.
If you are a statistician, you would probably look at this data and 1) say that it is incomplete to arrive at 42% of anything, and 2) it is mathematically and statistically impossible to get a 42% approval rating when only 31% of 173.854 million registered voters even like the man.
Take heart in the fact that all of it is is just fuzzy math and meant to make trump feel good about himself. Our challenge is to get the 69% that either don't particularly like him, or don't like him at all, to vote in the midterms and the 2028 presidential election and all of the State elections and get the "reds" out of the business of politics. There is not one single state in the Union that is all red voters, not one. There are democrats and independents in every state.
We need to find them, bring them out of hiding, and band together.

I'm tired of listening to and reading the news. I can hear the news everywhere all day. I'm tired of hearing about Trump. He's not the main one behind all this political mess. It's Stephen Miller for the most part. But nobody seems to want to talk about him.. I don't have the backing or platform to raise this level of awareness for what he's doing. They'll just come and get me and I'll disappear. This is why I support The Meidas Touch Network. It's time to shine the light on Miller and PJ 2025 and how it's being applied right in front of our faces!
Oh no i personally out that Cretan Steven Miller , the non attorney, playing one in the Oval Office who crib-sheets DHS Barbie about Habius Corpus, which goes back to the Magna Carta and beyond—but she has no idea what it is! They all need to go to prison!
Hey Midas Mighty, I listen on apple podcast. Love to give you guys a 5 star. Let me know.
I also listen on Apple and am unable to rate. I also would give five stars
Ok thanks for responding appreciate it. Where are you trying to rate from? I am in Norway so I thought that was the reason. Now I know that’s not the reason. Thanks again.

have we felt anything financially? Being this is the first time in my life I’ve gone to food pantries for help and friends are giving me groceries after working 37 consecutive years at a full-time IT job and I’m now on Disability for an illness that was not my fault, yeah I think I’m feeling it. When I have to decide between toilet paper and a prescription, I think I’m feeling it. How can anyone regardless how they voted not look at what’s going on and see it what is wrong with MAGA supporters that they cannot see reality are they that lacking in humility that they cannot see the realistic things that are happening in our country? How and when is it going to end? All I can do is hope the universe will not let the Senate pass this bill. Our country is headed towards a serious revolution or civil war. It has to be - this can’t continue. How he ever got in Office is still a shock to me. I still haven’t even gotten over that part yet. if this bill passes so many of my friends and myself will be cut off from Food and Healthcare. They are literally killing people. They are targeting minorities they are targeting LGBTQ. They are targeting anything that is in a WASP. Taking deals for Middle East countries that took part in 911 has everyone forgotten about September 11, 2001? Just what the actual fuck?
Orange toddler humiliates Americans with Africa president.
Then Maga passes murder bill.
I don't know how this bill can change the Medicare as we pay Medicare through our social security. The money comes out of the social security and paid to our Medicare company. I am only thinking that they see monies coming out of their account and not realizing where it came from. Thank you for keeping us up to date with all of these crazy things. Months ago, we did not imagine that our world could change so much. Linda
They are so prejudice white why do they protect getting brown in tanning beds.
It is time to smackdown Trump and his Gaggle of MAGA Sycophants
NOW
He should get a zero approval rating and get put away in a psychiatric facility!
Totally agree
Discourse. Exactly what Trump wants. To “dis” everyone, about everything, everytime.
Trump has never moved beyond his TV days when he attacked, malined, insulted, and embarrased before his loyal TV supporters.
EU will up sanctions on Russia. Trump raises tariff to 50%. How soon we forget Putin bailed out Trump from bankruptcy years ago.
As a proud South African and loving, and at times - enduring - our rainbow nation, its problems, its crime, its corruption, its still a helluva better place to live than most parts of the world.
Keep up the good work guys.
Sad to say, in some ways, I am not at all a religious person, but have given myself permission to say : Please keep putting that orange 'anti-christ' in his rightful place.
Make his life purgatory, (get the symbolism?)
So looks like us middle/lower class should stop shopping and hit the billionaires pocket books
Middle class conservatives are in for a shock…a devastating g shock.They asked for it.
Its a eugenics bill. They're targeting anyone they deem as a "burden"
My German Goverment make big angry voice because of Harvard-Problem.
Now Germany is very angry and alerted.
Because every dictatorship battles against the Universitys.
Stay together.
Be creative, peacefull and smart.
Yes , one of my main concerns is what is hidden in that big bad bill. It seem the administration would like to castrate the courts.
Yes, it’s in the bill.
Can you all talk about the provision that makes trump King in the Big ugly bill
No kings allowed in the USA
He's trying to remove the ability to be held in contempt for not following Supreme Court orders
Thank you!
Have they all forgotten the separation of church and State? Everything in this podcast is appreciated that you have brought to light, but it is terrifying. I am so incredibly embarrassed for the first time in my life to be an American.
Well, the Supreme Court has not. They struck down funding a private Catholic school with public money. If they hadn't, then all religious private schools would be eligible for public funding - now how would the MAGAs deal with a Muslim mosque backed school getting their tax dollars - or a Jewish school?
Trump invited the white African farmers to come and they are getting the farmers
Farms they are losing to trumps corruption and greed.
Thank you Ben.
Some days I feel we are losing the battle for our country. I live in an area full of magas where healthcare is touch and go, and I see poverty all around me. I donated to the ACLU, meidas touch network & NYU Just Security. I went to a march and stood out in the rain, holding my resist banner, and ended up with pneumonia. I call and text my maga representative daily to express my outrage. I sign every petition that protests this corrupt regime. I post daily on news feeds with my words of protest & hope.
I got rid of my TV two years ago because I got so sick of hearing corporate media spin. I depend upon You Tube, MTN, Bulwark, Tom Miller, Lincoln Project, Popok & Kirschner to give me the daily rundown. I get asked 10 times a day for money because Citizens United destroyed the people's ability to carry any weight in our government, leaving all the power in the hands of oligarchs.
We're watching Trump & oligarchs enrich themselves while legislating to destroy our healthcare, science, children's future, environment, education, immigrants & sitting back while people starve & die in Gaza and Ukraine.
We are a nation who fell in love with celebrity, and fell asleep at the wheel while the rich and famous now control everything. Our Democrats are guilty of complacency, sitting idly by, allowing the maga movement to take control of everything we have ever worked for and opening the door to fascism and a mad king. Today I have no hope. I don't think we're winning. 😢
Who added the bit about the Dump regime can not be held in contempt of court? That is the worst thing in this entire steaming pile of covfefe.
You guys should tell viewers to call their Senators everyday on whatever your issue is with the Big Horrific Bill. 202-224-3121
We can apply the flash card strategy to all news reports about Trumps behavior. Name, with a stamp across the screen, the narcissistic behavior he employs…until the electorate all have a clear vocabulary and understanding of their own to be able to name his administration’s abuses. There are many great ideas in this article. I believe that if every independent media source employed the flashcard strategy, as a collective response to the Trump administration’s actions, we might be able to break the spell of those who still cannot see it. Get together with your democracy media warriors and implement some common tactics to develop a national unity against this narcissistic authoritarianism!

I think a great story would be about just how much billionaires will benefit from the tax cuts and how average Americans will be hurt. A chart showing: if you make $50,000.00 a year this is your tax estimate, if you make $100,000.00 this is your tax estimate, if you make $25,000.00 a year this is your tax estimate, if you make 3 million this is your tax estimate. We throw statements around, but no figures. Figures would show people just how much they are going to be hurt and billionaires helped. I don't believe anyone has put a pencil to this. I realize this would be difficult since billionaires don't really have "regular" earnings...but it might be worth a try. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work.
It is difficult to compare since they talk about tax brackets for "wage" earners and corporations and the wealthy have money that is earned in various fashions, are allowed a boat load of deductions that you and I are not, and are taxed at different rates depending on where the money was earned (wages, profits on investments, profits on business, pass through profits, sales of stock - a whole bungy chord of rules all by themselves). So, the average citizen has like 1 source of income, which is what they all talk about - but rich people frequently do not draw a wage of any kind. So, we are quite often just being filled full of rot when they talk about tax breaks -
Just know that taxes for wage earning poor people and the working and middle class are going to go up to pay for all the ways that they have given the wealthy to get a tax break. Something I read the other day said that the middle income people would get like an $815 tax break and the wealthy would get a $74,000 tax break. The poorest people would have their taxes raised, and the middle class would as well.
Without understanding the 1,000's of pages in the stacks of tomes that make up the tax code, it would be really hard to even compare. Just know that everyone but the wealthiest people amongst us and people making over like 400,000 per year are getting screwed in the budget bill.
Approximately 3.8 million people will benefit greatly and 87 million or more people or 95% of the working population will either get a small tax break or will pay higher taxes.
I looked these numbers up - you can to.

Absolutely agree. White genocide conspiracy is racist distraction for the base, from the country that brought you the Klu Klux Klan, lynchings, and Jim Crow.
I love how Ramaphosa makes sure to tell Trump that the white Agricultural Minister is from the opposition party who joined his administration by invitation from him. Something Trump would NEVER do. Hire someone from the opposition party? A Democrat? That showed a true statesman, as opposed to the Toddler-in-Chief who won't stop until he gets revenge on every Democrat.
The meeting with him was awful to watch ! It must have been terrifying for Trump to be a room with intelligent thoughtful black men ! RESIST THE fascist !
35 billion dollars in trump's pocket. Asshole Howard is pretty dumb. Tell him to get a job that pays a wage that the working people have and take his money away, then have him try to make a living, buy groceries, put gas in his car, so that he can get to work and buy what he has to have. When he does that, he can try to convince me that nothing has changed. Somebody drain his bank account.
I want a list, pictures, addresses, etc!
If we aren't free, our murderers should not be free!
What will Americans do after these fascists are dethroned? A new constitution? The Union dissolves and a new amalgamation creating several new countries? The USA is irrevocably changed now. What will you do to prevent this happening again?
Big beautiful BACKLASH!!!
Yet they're okay with their dear leader hanging with and praising those who have funded terrorist attacks as he did last week??
This situation is just further divided the country and angering people. Many who are prone to unstable behavior are going to become violent. I think we are going to see more “Luigi Mangioni “ type crimes. GOP will have their blood on their hands.
The President is the president 24/7. Not his “personal time” or private guests so nobody gets to know who these people are! NO! He is always representing the US of A! He wants to have his cake and eat it too! The power of the presidency while he makes money for himself and his family.
Exactly. This details the corruption dinner clearly.
https://youtu.be/pxHMyg1g4vo?si=4vUNxvVYXPWwhE50
Personal time? Isn't the president of the free world on the job 24/7, or shouldn't he be?
I don’t understand why the Supreme Court is not doing something.
They're all bought and paid for. They're on his side and making big money too.
Ah, he tries to clean up his dark personality with all the gold plate around him. He's a very sick sadistic man.
What you do in the DARK always comes to LIGHT!
Thank-you for your hard work. You keep me sane.
Cory booker voted for kushner, a trump appointee for ambassador to France - and then we wonder why we are not winning when Democrats can't even stick together for two seconds on anything!!!
Thanks MeidasTouch, We the People need to concentrate our efforts regarding the ‘big, horrific bill’ in the senate now, since the house passed this under cover of darkness!
Call Congress, clog the switchboard with calls and voice your concerns re: topics in this bill. Medicaid, SNAP, & Medicare cuts will be devastating to millions of Americans who rely on these programs to survive, these individuals are not saving money for a rainy day, they are just making their needs met to live, food, housing, healthcare, medications! Cutting these programs will be subjectively causing selective genocide by this horrible regime!
Are we able to live with that as a society?
Call Congress and use your voices to pressure them to WORK for YOU-their constituents!
This is just fucking outrageous and is McCarthyism,,, to the 98th degree. First of all. cut the shit about anti Jew sentiment. It is hysterically over blown and is nuts Jews are the least discriminated people on the planet. Just ask owner of 5 star restaurants. Who gets the best table? Jews... They own the media, they own publishing, they own production, they own, they own bakeries, they own jewelry..on and on,, Anybody who denies it is deluded... there is no that is zero., nada, so fucking way run away oppression of Jews at Harvard, Northwestern, or Columbia... Trump is concert with his pals in Israel have partnered to rid the world all but the chosen people... For Trump. it is WASP Aryans, For Israel...it is Jews. Trump exterminates perceived Jew opponents here in USA, aand BIB continues genocide in Gaza., Good fucking God, people wake the fuck up... Get some info other than what you gather from Meridas Touch Rogan, and Tic Tok,, Before sunrise Thursday AM.,.. Israel killed 678 people..that is babies, women, cripples, old ladies, grandmas, cats, dogs. gold fish. Get that thru your fucking head people. You are being conned by a grifter. Trump is using the stalking horse of anti Jew fever to create a banana republic . suspend liberties and end democracy. If you do not get off your fucking ass, put down the cookie mix, and get it fucking together,you will soon, on your morning walk be confronted with the reality of martial law... Oh no? You think that is impossible? What is to prevent you from being swept off the street corner, and shipped to Hondouras? Your good looks and pleasant smile???
Hitler trump you got a lot of nervous to tell the South African President that bullshit I hope and pray he knows Hitler trump is of Racist and Hitler trump is White Supremacy should have told him how your Tariffs his hurt the American framers how Nazis Republicans cut Medicaid for millions of people now they don't have health care Hitler trump you really believe you're dictator however the truth is you're pathetic disgusting old man that Shits on himself. ps. for all the minority that voted for Hitler trump and Nazis Republicans good for all that voted
The award is so cool. Please send us an upclose picture of the award 🥰
NEVER NEVER NEVER TRUST TRUMP OR YOU WILL LOSE
NEVER NEVER NEVER TRUST TRUMP
Why are we not speaking to the real issue here and who is actually driving racist agenda. DJT is only a puppet following orders and creating facades and distraction. They are afraid that POC will become the majority leaving white men behind.
God and the universe KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE DOING! I wonder how you will pay !!!
Love you guys! 🥰
Not sure this is the right place for this comment, but it seems to be the only way — I am a paid subscriber to MeidasTouch, which one would think would include all Meidas contributors. But, no, I am constantly deluged with requests to upgrade to paid subscriptions to contributors such as Aaron Parnas, Michael Cohen, and now Katie Phang. And they must have gotten my email address from MeidasTouch.
It’s almost enough to make me subscribe from everything, as I do not have an unlimited supply of money for these subscriptions.
Please rethink your subscription model.
Ramaphosa sounds so sane and intelligent in this bizarre scenario. And as per usual Trump pointing the finger at others instead of himself.
I feel your frustration, anger and sense of panic. Especially Ben ! Don’t give yourself a stroke over this we need you too much. You address all the issues extremely well. I believe you should also state at every discussion that Trump is a “Narcissist with Dementia “not mentally sound. Drive it into people’s minds that he is completely incompetent with the words “Narcissist with Dementia”.. Hate and revenge are eating him alive. His mind is a full dump truck. His minions are flattering him, sucking up, and using him to sign Executive Orders. We need to nail the minions. They can go to jail. They are not protected my the Supreme Court. Thank You Meidas Bros. and Substack
Trump lies stupidly. He doesn't use facts. Who feeds him these lies, anyway?
What is happening with our constitution that all of this is allowed to happen? That it can’t be stopped? The corruption is obvious, as are the lies and attempted cover ups. This all out assault needs to be stopped.

With these attacks on academic institutions they are paving the way to use the universities for what they've been accusing them of -- indoctrination into an authoritarian mindset. That's what they want -- the whitewashing of history to achieve domination over its ill informed people. It's already happening.
Hi guys,
I went to MeidasPlus.com and can’t locate the fake Facebook “article” about the genocide of Africaanas farmers. Yes, I am a Meidas+ member.
We need an easy to read, bullet-point, proposed budget that is going to the Senate. Everything seems so fuzzy to me on these proposals.
Please give me specifics on not taxing the rich…. I want to develop a protest sign soon.
Wow!! Trump regimes rampant corruption is even worse than we know.
https://youtu.be/pxHMyg1g4vo?si=4vUNxvVYXPWwhE50
Why is it still above 40%!?! This is infuriating
With all due respect, the yields on US 10 yr, 20yr and 30yr bonds are no where near record highs. The historic high of the US 10 year T-bond was 15.82 in 1981. That same year, the US 30 yaear T-bond was 15.84%. The yield curve was inverted and short term US tbills had an interest rates of 20%+. Let's pray we never see rates at those levels again or numerous US markets and global markets will suffer severe shocks.
IF we even see the 10 year close to 7% there will be a severe correction of the equity market and housing markets. The housing market is already seized up in many locations in the USA. The US equity market is being manipulated with off again/on again tariffs. To say it is a functional market is the same as saying we still have a functional democracy NOT.
It is correct to say those rates are moving higher as fewer international investors (governments, sovereign wealth funds etc) are beginning to use alternative government bond markets. Most of that is happening as their existing holdings are maturing rather than a full scale sell of such as what we saw with Canada. I value the work at Medias... but please... let's not indulge in hyperbole. The current bond market is sending clear messages to those of us who follow such things. BUT!! We are no where near historic highs. The last time the US 10 year note even got to 5% was in October 2023.
"House Republicans ram through their latest tax scam in the dead of night, slashing essential programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance—all to bankroll giveaways for billionaires and corporations." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
Time for your family is needed—the world will not stop if you take the long weekend
Yet they still appear to be winning
Doubt it is 42% even
Maybe Cheeto face will DIE on his gold Air Force One. He’s fucked up airports. Wouldn’t that be ironic??
Liar! He has the best approval ratings ever! You are such a disgrace.
But some of those students are white!
My prayer is that the biggest hurricane ever, named trump lands at marlogo and stays there for hours. Who would pay for the damage? It certainly wouldn't come out of Donnie's pocket.
It really doesn’t matter anymore.
Anyone who is in the 42% approval rate do not deserve the air they breath. They are nothing more than loser domestic terrorists.
Remember that polls are taken on like 1,000 to 2,000 people max. There are 347 million people in this country, over 223 million are adults. That is 57/1,0000,000's of 1%. (Perspective) - I don't give an ounce of credence that 2,000 people represent the totality of the population in the U.S. and polls are skewed in his favor so that the pollster won't get sued. trump no doubt preens himself over these ludicrous polls... only we know the truth.
Watching and listening to the Trump administration is like watching your children murdered right before your eyes.
We need to get back to the middle.
Ben, I need your help on a very important question! Do you think a person from Mexico who is here legally but is not a citizen yet, should start the paperwork now? I think it's not the time given what's going on but I need backup please! Ty
What about tanning beds???
Trump is the human National Enquirer.
And it was stuff they made up those weren't even Graves and that happened two years ago and it was like for two people from what I understand
Good for Harvard sue their Asses! We the People Pray that Bill Dies for Good!!!
I love you guys. I listen daily and appreciate your up-to-date sharing of video and commentary.
However, I'd also appreciate hearing less repetition on the daily about what a slime bag, felon, rapist, etc. DJT is. We all know this and agree. I think there's a way to share our extreme distaste with the administration without joining them in their mud-slinging speech. It's getting old for me.
Thanks!
MAGA really means “make America garbages, asses!
Somebody needs to take the keys away from Grampa. And while we're at it, let's just put him in a hospice in El Salvador, k?
NO library for this big turnip. NONE!!! Nothing!!
Well! I am a big fan and tune into Meidasplus. But dummy me I was not aware of https://meidasnews.com/news. Lol. You guys are in so many places I can’t keep up with you. Now that I know about this I can spread it to some of my other friends who are not yet supporters. I also follow you on Substack, but for some reason, miss the obvious of your website. I also get Ron’s daily briefings. Wow you’re all over the map.

My God— he’s a wreck. There’s got to be somebody nearby holding a straight jacket for him. 🤞
And of course, the perfect name for the aircraft bribe is, “Trojan horse”
The real genocide is happening right here in the US and is being perpetuated by Trump, his MAGA cabinet and MAGA Congressional representatives. It is not a racial genocide! They are in the process of killing off the poor, the elderly, and the disabled, regardless of their skin color or their political beliefs (take note, MAGA voters).
Starve and kill the poor while further enriching the billionaire oligarchs!

Thank you, thank you to you and your brothers and your terrific team for parsing out the truth from the lies. I know Trump lies as soon as he opens his pathetic mouth, but you get into the breadth and depth of the lies. A lot of work. Thanks.
Please cover this guys. I'm so outraged. Fresh hell every effing day 🤬

Accepting the plane is so wrong. Is the building of 2 new Airforce 1 planes going to be halted while the Trojan Horse plane is converted? Has been reported they will be ready in 2 years. Converting the gifted plane would take longer than that. Trump will have NO new plane before he is finished his destructive term. Also doesnt he realize that converting to Airforce 1 standard will take away most of the glitz!!! No longer will he have a Floating Palace. DUMB.
Can you look into to claim of him being the asset Danila Krasnov? Makes more sense than anything else.
What are my husband and I missing? If the Republicans can only lose 3 votes, weren't they tied? Whatever my husband is reading says that they lost 5 votes. If that is the case, then how did they manage to pass this big ugly bill?
threats and intimidation.
Ok, thanks.
100% agree with BRETT… call out the good stuff democrats are doing. We do get tired of the constant negativity!
Trump asked for the plane and when TRUMP leaves office the plane will not be ready and hopefully the president will be Democrat with a Democrat House and Senate and impeach and remove all privileges afforded to former presidents removed No pay no nothing and handcuffs as he walks out the door! No plane for him as he does not get to determine what he takes when he leaves that is up to GSA and records!

It's obvious that he is "softening" the ground so that he can ram medicare down the throats of the Republicans.
Wooooo!!
This is off topic a bit, but did you guys see there was some poll stating that trump gets huge marks for upholding the constitution? Its supposedly a Rasmussen poll. I just am so deflated every day
I think they should list the names of all the people that believe trump is upholding the constitution so that we can send them the kindergarten version of the Constitution and let them compare notes.
We have to wait and see what the Senate comes up with. They are not happy with the House version and will likely craft one of their own.
I wrote a "What's Next" article in my substack, if you're interested...

Because robbing the poor to enrich the rich is the outrage to distract from that buried traitorous non-budgetary power grab.
Middle class conservatives are in for a shock…a devastating shock.they asked for it.
The way they are doing this is to have a $2K bonus the first year as a stimulus check when you do your taxes, then come the midterms, then they cut off the benefits and I believe the taxes roll out after presidential elections? I think they did it that way to make the Democrats appear like they are full of it.
@meidastouch can you go in depth on the timelines with the stupid bill they are trying to pass so people have a better understanding?
It’s imperative that this provision be struck down, amended out!
“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….”
Thank you for posting the wording of this portion of the bill!

Thank you, Dennis.
I've also written both of my Senators and will continue to write them now that the BBB is up to the Senate to stop it.
I try calling mine. Get no response about what is happening in our government.
And thank you for bringing this to the fore!!
I was wondering the same thing!!!
I think the news media believes (often, accurately) that explaining that portion of the bill would consume too much effort on the part of a writer and would turn off the Sesame Street attention spans of casual readers of the news. One need only look at how the mascara momma of Homeland Security doesn't even understand the legal principle and purpose of habeas corpus to understand that. What a colossal embarrassment!

Exactly!!!
I’m very very concerned about other aspects of this bill that expands executive power. This has to stop.
