He isn’t talking to us. He’s talking to his billionaire bros. And crashing the economy is THE PLAN.
Yes! Financial oppression = control.
That's what i was going to say!!!
And the cult is going to believe it and eat it up! 🙄
they are by far the dumbest cult we've seen. Liar liar his pants stay on fire!
The real scare is that the dumbest cult ever managed to get him elected again. So what that says about us, scares me to death.
The problem is he got to lie for 4 years while biden was improving our lives daily. Now they get to see how bad our lives become and billionaires do better but I still feel we have the power. I haven't bought anything from Amazon in 2 months. Tesla going down every day. Musk lost over 100 billion .yikes. but how much did it take to sell your soul? Will any of these maga people ever stop and think about of the pain to our hard working veterans who put their lives on the l8ne for us? Liar,con artist yup
I believe the sad truth is they do not. They pretend they are for Vets and kids, elderly, etc., but like you said, and I have to keep reminding myself, they always buy into all of the lies. So how can we get them to the truth. I do believe in the end we will perservere. Keeping the faith always!
He had help from fellow billionaires and Musk especially probably rigged the election…Remember what has happened using his whiz tech kids…
But you have to laugh that X was hacked for several hours before Mushrat could fix it.
Karma
Yes! He'd better bend over 'cause that won't be the only time! BOHICA, Yall! LOL 😂 *Bend Over Here It Comes Again!*
Oooooooohhhhhhhh-----and WHAT a wonderful feeling THAT was!
I still think they were paid to vote for him. Musk went all out to seat this fool. Who knows what shady deals he made "with the boys and girls in the back room?"
😱me, too.
36% didn't vote. Why?
Especially those who leaned a little more Democrat, but didn't actually think it would make a difference, are so sorry that they did not. NOW they realize that more than likely they would have prevented the Deranged Moron Terrorist from getting back into the Oval Office.
Just like 2016!
More involved than just that, it seems!
Now that I have SUBSTACK I have a hard time finding MEIDAS. But it's great to be number 1.
Counting off the days before all of them drink the Orange Kool-Aid........
Insanity will end and justice restored.
He hasn’t blamed Soros yet.
Who, the maggot cult? 🤣
What other Orange Cult is out there trying to destroy democracy and the USA???
They're gonna have to eat it up because they won't be able to afford food.
I don't know how ofteni in a conversation with one of them they'll say he didn't say that. I go find a clip ( video if possible because we know how they hate to read) and they'll still deny it saying the video was faked or something. What ever delusions have been planting in their mind is there to stay. I've never seen the like..
I have a nephew from mass who lost a brother from covid.[ unvaccinated) he was very ill from other life choices but covid killed him i know he was unvaccinated bc a week after testing positive he told my son" I should have gotten the vaccine ".he died peacefully in a hospital bed w/ his oldest brother by his side.but now his trumpster brother says he died from covid shot.he knows that is not true. I just keep telling these folks" t---p does not care about u. I might get a giant poster and put it in front of my house. Keep saying it and they believe it. Only this time it's true.
Well, they'd better stock up on bread and water 'cause they ain't gonna be eating at "king" Dumpty's table. We're getting reports daily they're waking up realizing they've just been rode hard and put away wet!
Americans need to wake up now! Canadians are pissed, each day it’s getting more ridiculous. Right now, millions are cancelling travel, refusing to buy American and are actively selling properties and going to South America and Europe instead! Trump is hurting average Americans and Canada is fighting back. It’s your turn now. Elbows up🍁
I wear my F*CK TRUMP hat everywhere...(we hosers do have our elbows up!!)....
people in the subway ask me for a picture...., no problem...let them use the hat for a selfie!!!!
I'm a little more subtle. My bumper sticker says " deport t---p keep the immigrants ". We need to get our own blue hat .use all the proceeds for climate change, diversity , women's rights!!!!!.how about ltls( let the light shine.lol
I love the hat 👍💯
Living, eating and breathing this onslaught takes a physical and emotional toll. I'd rather be a Canadian citizen but I'm not. Thankfully Canada isn't being dismantled.
The sad thing is his followers will believe they will become rich. He is a big time grifter, I wish people could see who he really is.
That's why he loves the uneducated...as he said 'they are easy to manipulate'.
.....and republiCRAPS sure are!
Some of them don't have hot and cold running water or jobs. Many don't have an education or a trade. If they think they're going to be handed money to "make them rich" they're sadly mistaken in addition to being misled.
Dictator LYING Conspiracy Theorist Donnie is positioning for his dictatorship and his Maga Bowers are Bowing LOWER To Their God! Pathetic! He makes below zero sense!
The traitor in chief has so much revenge and hatred for anyone who disagrees with him. The republican party is unrecognizable now.
they are reThuglican lap dogs.
Has been for quite some time. Do you know when they changed the stars on their logo to pentagram (shapes)? Did it a while ago. To my knowledge there was no announcement. I don't recall hearing people say anything about it. Yup. They have upside down stars on their logo.
And Disney (off topic I apologize) has 666 in its name. One of the kids pointed a few things out years ago, and what's hidden right in front of our eyes is frightening. We quit buying Oreol cookies once the design was explained!
Yikes! These monsters worship Satan who is the god of this World. They hide in plain sight. Smiling all the while. Snakes and cannibals.
Sanders is the real deal, always has been. Democrats need to emulate and support him.
Spot on, I couldn’t agree more. I wish more Dems were doing this. I know AOC and Crockett are very verbal too 👍🎯
But Bernie, that was powerfull he spoke with the people not at them 💙
in the german newschannel (n-tv) is a precise analysis about the companys of Musk.
The prognozisis is: this construction of gaslighting and lies will end soon.
https://www.n-tv.de/politik/politik_person_der_woche/Der-Musk-Crash-hat-begonnen-article25620921.html
Here is the translation of the article with google translator.
This article is very important because it shows detailed how weak is Musk and what construction of cult (about his person) he builds. This focus on his person is now the catastrophe for his companys.
--- here is the article ---
Dramatic stock market crash at Tesla. It's not just car sales that are collapsing. Advertising revenues are falling at X, rockets are exploding at SpaceX. The collapse of the Musk empire is looming. The billionaire's arrogance and right-wing radicalism are now taking their revenge.
Tesla shares fell by 15 percent on Monday. The price losses total a staggering $120 billion - in just one day. That's like completely wiping out the value of all shares in the DAX companies Commerzbank, Bayer, Eon and Daimler-Truck within 24 hours. This daily loss is enormous, but if you put Tesla in perspective since December, the collapse is much worse: Tesla was valued at $1.5 trillion on the stock market just before Christmas, now it's only half that.
For Elon Musk, this is more than just a warning signal. It seems more like the drumbeat of an impending collapse. The New York Times warns in an editorial: "The bubble could soon burst. Elon Musk's business empire is faltering." In fact, the empire of the richest man in the world is on fire at every corner: Tesla's sales are collapsing because the competition has improved and people don't want to drive the car of an aggressive right-wing radical.
Advertising revenues have plummeted at the online platform X (formerly Twitter), and new competitors such as Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky are taking market share away from X. Here too, Musk's political involvement is massively damaging the business. Financial analysts warn that he may have paid far too much with the $44 billion and overreached himself because he is facing a rising interest burden.
A few days ago, Musk had to hastily refinance his debts and mobilized $4.4 billion in new funds from New York banks, but he now has to pay 11 percent interest on them. But the company does not deserve that. In an internal email to employees, Musk wrote that the platform was "barely profitable".
Ponzi scheme of salvation expectations
Solar City, Musk's solar company, was saved in 2017 by a controversial takeover by Tesla and has languished since then. The Boring Company, which wants to revolutionize transportation by building high-speed hyperloops, has almost a billion dollars at risk. At Neuralink, Musk's brain implant company, profits are still just a dream. And at SpaceX, it's not just rockets that are exploding, but also losses. The money magician Musk is in danger of losing his "Midas touch": the reputation that everything he touches turns to gold.
Musk's success as an entrepreneur depends heavily on the exaggerated expectations of salvation of his enthusiastic followers. Musk's companies are all dramatically overvalued because investors believe in his technological miracles. But if they don't materialize, the bubble can quickly burst. Even after the recent crash, Tesla is still valued ten times higher than BMW or Mercedes, for example - although the Germans are now superior to Tesla in many respects.
The New York Times describes Musk's method as a pyramid scheme: "The balancing act goes something like this: Dream up a company so ambitious that any setback is insignificant and any success heroic. Identify yourself as the manic genius behind that ambitious company so that you can personally profit from the above-average returns of enthusiastic investors. Use social media to cement your status as an icon, and make your believers so enthusiastic that their zeal will beat back any skeptics who dare to bet against your ventures, even as you come up with more and more fantastic ideas. At that point, you hit the flywheel: Other investors, looking for above-average returns, pounce on the stocks of your other companies, driving their valuations ever higher, bolstering your wealth and polishing your reputation as a thought leader." Musk's bluff only works with "magical thinking about the power of technology" and his shares have the character of chips in an online gambling game.
Musk is a jack of all trades
In fact, Musk needs a constantly new fantasy of oversized size to fuel his wheel of fortune. But he is increasingly running out of that in the real economy. He is therefore trying to reach the next level of money creation through his politicization. But his blustering conquest of the political stage threatens to be his undoing. With right-wing radical views, arrogant sayings and exalted chainsaw appearances, Musk has not only spoiled a lot of sympathy, but also concrete business options.
Musk likes to spread the rumor that his companies will soon receive large government contracts. But within the Trump administration, resistance to the over-excited billionaire is growing. There, too, Musk is in danger of failing soon. Last week there was a scandal in a cabinet meeting between Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. President Trump himself had to reprimand Musk, saying that in future he should use a scalpel rather than an axe. But Musk can't use a scalpel, he's an axe through and through.
Conclusion: The Musk household is on fire. The financial markets have fueled his wealth and power for years. But now we see: They can destroy both just as easily. The Tesla crash could become a wildfire and completely melt Musk's pyramid scheme.
----end of article----
Thanks again, Oliver!
Yes and musk is heavily abusing ketomine. There's that too!!!!
Thank you for this post. I have zero sympathy for the arrogant little man. He is NOT a genius or a successful businessman, like dump. They are quite the couple...
Thank you so much, Oliver, for this post. By the way, couldn't help but chuckle at "Musk's brain implant company," Did he get one of those that is defective???????
Nobody watch that shit on Prime!
Cutting the cord on Prime on March 15th, as it seemed a fitting date.
It goes off your subscription billing date. Unless your subscription normally gets paid that day it will continue until your bill cycle ends.
nobody on prime has the balls to report his lies.
Is the crashing of the market by Trump done purposely so that his friends can buy the dip then sell when he changes course and the market goes up? Sure seems suspicious considering his character (or lack of) and his love of money.
100%
Fact checks need to be immediate and Trump must be challenged hard in public - if he lets anyone non partisan anywhere near
Yes 💯 the entire USA political spectrum has a full blown case of 'total avoidance'.
Not everyone's goal is to be rich, just him and his little friends.
Watching Bernie asking questions made me cry! These are the true Americans, no new shoes for my children??? Really sad, as these Billionaires are robbing us!
In order to graduate from high school in the USA, one must be competent in math. Why aren't the state run media hosts displaying that?
they are scared of a convicted felon
Trump reimposed tariffs against Canada, but this time, at 50%. He is irrational, impulsive, reactive, and acting out his personal vendettas with childish retaliation. He needs to be evaluated immediately at Bethesda Naval Hospital because he has no understanding of the consequences of his actions.
Of course because it won’t affect him but us…
I hope someone can secure the nuke codes so dump can't hit them when he gets really desperate...
What a liar. Rump hired the very best!! NOT
The same con he gave Scotland who now hate his guts.
THANK YOU for highlighting Bernie and his rallies. He's doing the work for all the democrats. It was terrific to see him.
Didn't he make a comment years ago that if he ever ran for president he would do it as a republican because he considered them to be stupid enough to vote for him?
Thank you for basing everything on facts that can be verified! I am a retired state deputy Inspector General. The truth is important to me. To the American people. To the world. We must kick the Russian operative out of our country. Send him to Putin. He doesn't deserve this country! Traitor #1.
I love Bernie Sanders ♥️
Given what pathetic "savings" I've seen allegedly coming from DOGE, I am more convinced that the US has a revenue problem, not a spending problem. Tax the rich. Close the loopholes.
Trump has no idea how tariffs work.
Bernie is #MyPresident ❤️
We haven't been united states since trump first ran for president with his hateful campaign! We're still America but will soon be renamed trumpland. 😡🤬
Buy low sell hi. The rich will get richer and so will Trump. I saw on pbs how he created and sold trump meem coins and made a ton of money on the fees charged while the people who bought them lost pretty much everything.
This clown is a disaster.
yes, A shit show circus
Here is a conspiratorial theory, would you think that Trump and his Billionaire cronies got together and planned this disaster in the stock market? Allowing them to buy low now and, at a later date when Trump either looses favor in the mid-term elections or he backs out of imposing tariffs etc. and the stock market rebounds, allowing the billionaires to sell at a huge profit?
That makes a lot of sense. I put nothing past this regime.
FYI. Jim Acosta and Michael Cohen are taking about taking a town hall on the road to red and purple states. They have a great idea. You guys should get consider assisting them.
Trump and ICE are thugs.
So if they can remove Khalil then LETS REMOVE MUSK, NOW!
The American people will not see a fucking dime of this “pretend” money. Such a moronic🤡

What Trump means about we are going to be so rich is that Trump and his cronies are the ones who will be rich while we are all screwed!!!!
There's just too many snake oil vendors in Trump and Musk joint presidency.
He banked all his business. He’s gonna bankrupt the United States and everybody in it.
What about arresting the Proud Boys, the Christian nationalists for their anti-semitism?

You guys are wonderful! ❤️
I value every part of the MTN & the specific reference to line items in the CR by Brett here was very helpful. It makes all the difference having a trustworthy source of information! Meidas Mighty!
He is right. We won't know where to spend our $ because no one in the world will accept it if they have a conscience
Bernie has been ready for this moment for a decade
I appreciate your reporting so much! Thank you for highlighting the illegal attempt to disappear Mahmoud, a truly heinous act. Also Bernie’s amazing town halls! You give me hope that we can survive this Trump disaster!
You voted for him I didn’t vote for him half of the fucking country more than half. The country didn’t vote for him. It’s all a fucking hoax. He’s a bad man.
Fucking asshole Muppets
5 star review today yesterday and tomorrow. Thanks Brett and Ben
This man is a scumbag
Thank you for this outstanding podcast - your work is so appreciated!
Thank you all for what your doing with and for us, We the People Resist.... this is our country and the elected officials are supposed to work for us in our best interests which this criminal administration is doing the exact opposite, keep up the great work and Ebows Up !
SUCH A BS'er. the potus or "Fish Lips".
Bernie knows how to listen. Asking THE PEOPLE questions.
What about a peaceful protest for EVERYONE AT THE DC NATIONAL MALL.What do you think about that?
Bernie Sanders is a ONE MAN relator to the middle class. He has been great Where are other DEMOCRATS
Our Psychological and Political Pandemic DR. BANDY X. LEE
🔸️Mental pathology in a president is a public matter. The more severe the mental pathology the less one will recognize that one is even ill.
🔸️Every other job that deals with life or death has a mental fitness evaluation as a requirement, even before one takes the position.
🔸️When this is not available, the public needs to be educated about the risks as much as possible, especially when they involve conditions that elude detection, manipulate others into collusion, and resist their own management, as mental disorders do.

He inherited the best economy ever
Donald Trump is dumber than a door . But what about people who voted him in office.
They have to figure that out themselves.
Trump saw the movie The Big Short. There’s a reason hedge fund managers are investing heavily 10:1 that the market will crash. The Trump family and the oligarchs know the plan is to crash the economy so are investing in shorts. Only the rich will get richer.
Felon Trump and interloper Musk,Putrid and Project 2025 are following the Jekyll Island playbook.
The attendees of the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting included:
Nelson Aldrich: A prominent US Senator
A. Piatt Andrew: An Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Davison: A senior partner at J.P. Morgan
Arthur Shelton: Aldrich's private secretary
Frank Vanderlip: President of the National City Bank of New York
Paul Warburg: A partner at Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Charles D. Norton: President of the First National Bank of New York
Col. Edward M. House: An adviser to President Woodrow Wilson
The attendees came together to write a plan to reform the banking system. Their plan laid the foundation for the Federal Reserve System. The plan, known as the Aldrich Bill, became the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
The claim that the 1929 stock market crash was planned is a conspiracy theory. The crash was a result of a speculative boom in the late 1920s, overvaluation t of assets, and buying stocks "on margin" with borrowed money.
The 1929 crash was planned. It produced the Robber Barons. Today's manipulations are
part of Dump, Musk, and Putrid's plan. Trump wanted the markets to crash during the campaign.
He said, "I hope the markets crash ..." as he was hoping to avoid prison, which is why he ran for the office of POTUS. He had no plans to help America then, and he has no plans to help us now.
I confess I had reservations about former POTUS Obama because he was black. I've been cured of racism by a white man--Donald J. Trump. I dare say that others have also been "cured." The racism in this country has everything to do with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Folks were fearful that "a black" in the WH would destroy America. Now those who voted for The Dump and those who stayed home are regretting their decision.
It's obvious she was rejected because of the color of her skin. We voted for a white man who is doing what many of us feared when former POTUS Obama took office. What a terrible and difficult lesson for America to learn. Actor Mel Gibson said (paraphrased) "It will be a disaster if she (Harris) gets in. I wonder if he feel the same way today.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) endorsed this clown in September, 2024. I haven't seen where they've rescinded their endorsement but statements about the thugs ("You have to fight or you won't have a country!" --Trump) against Trump have surfaced.
In January the FOP began to squeal and complain about his blanket pardons including anti-government anti-freedom actors some of whom injured and murdered police on JAN 21.
I'm supporting anyone who supports Democracy and skin color is no longer a factor in my life.
We had the same thing over here in England with Liz truss where she gave all the money to the rich and said just give it time and it will trickle down to the poor. What a lot of b*******
I would like to set up a Trump Wall of Shame electronically with a page for deaths in Ukraine since the US withheld intell, with pictures of the dead. Another page for US AID withdrawal deaths. People could search for photos to post. How can I do this? I have no social media presence
I don’t give a hoot about being rich. I just want my house paid off.
Sooner or later they will get a big dose of their own medicine. Hopefully SOON.
Love Meidas content. I trust you as much as our independent, pubic Tv/radio station - CBC. Keep it up people. Elbows up.
People didn’t vote, and the democrats are sitting on their hands. This ICE organization needs to grow a pair and do the right thing
Senator Sanders just helped me complete a 21+ month appeal at SS for my widows survivors benefits. He is the real deal.
You guys are the best. Thank you muchly!
Absolutely wonderful, Brothers! Ben--loved your encouraging words at the end. And as far as Biden goes--when you were referring to him, what came to my mind was Teddy Roosevelt's words: "Walk softly--carry a big stick." To me, that's is EXACTLY what President Biden did. The Psycho Dingbat in the Oval Office only knows how to bully--and of course, make a huge mess. (Well--lots more negatives than just those....but we all know what those are......)
45/47's voters will suffer also. The tariffs are threats for attention. He owes Russia money, Don Jr admitted that they get money from Russia. 45/47 is paying debts using our money. Congress and the Courts need to stop him. How many soldiers will obey him by invading Canada or Greenland??? There is no reality to his threats. He is entertaining us while draining our funds. Is Musk a Russian asset? Musk hates Black folk because of what happened to South Africa.
He👹 is successful in his orders from Master Putin..to destroy America in every way possible. Evident to the world 🌎🌍 that & his minions are Russian assets! 👹💀☠️👹
You know what's interesting is that these countries to our north and south and around the world now have their own REAL villain, DJT, to focus their energy and unite them together on. In the US, Transgender people are vilified and it's sort of successful in unifying enough of the country to bring a slim win. Trouble is: enough of us in the country, and I hope a growing number, find this sort vilification abhorrent, so we continue into deeper divisions. But seeing the response around the world against tyranny gives me a sense that overall people are good. Overall, they have empathy (now vilified by Mr. Musk). Hannah Arendt once said, "The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism." I have hope that with the help people with empathy around the world we will get through this.
Elbows up!
Thank you, Ben! I’ve been asking the same question who are they going to indict for all of this fraud and abuse they love to go after people, but they haven’t mentioned who’s responsible for all of this or who they are going to indict who is responsible for all of this fraud and abuse?
Thank you all. I really appreciate your help in sorting through the efforts of Trump and Company to seize control.
Bernie gets people to listen to him in red/rural areas by simply being a white man. Let's not loose sight of something that is the MAJOR reason why Americans have voted against TWO well (arguably over) qualified women in favor of the 🍊👿.
Dear dump supporters, he is a false prophet.
Holy crap, the orange swine is fouling his own nest with his baffoonery and chaotic rants! Now that he’s buying a Tesla for the Whitehouse he’ll definitely tank its stock completely.
Interpret all he says as everything that I say is a lie and so what I mean to convey is "I'm an idiot but you're a bigger idiot for believing my lies."
One of the boys he hired and fired probably took X down. Vindictive actions is more likely. Elonia is a jerk
There is a special place in hell for his lying $$
So elonia the traitor from S Africa calls Kelly a traitor for visiting and supporting Ukraine! Elonia is a small medicated little person trying to be a man.
SO SICK OF HIS DAMN LIES!! Shut UPPPPP!
I just can't listen to their blatant lies, hypocrites , trying to say they are christians , such bunk ,CROOKS !! All of them . shame ,
In his address on Air Force One to the media, he says that, you will have so much money you won't know what to do with it. Seriously, do Americans and the reporters really think that the money will be given to the citizens?? I'm a Canadian and I don't believe one word of what he says and I can't believe that a lot of Americans think they will get a cheque from the tariffs, it's unbelievable how gullible a lot of Americans are. I will not trust Americans for a very long time because a majority of them put this fool in power.
As regards Khalil Mahmoud, the Palestinians are a Semitic people, so what the hell is the US gangster government talking about?
Anyone read Malcolm Nance Substack article about what Trump is up to with Canada and Greenland. It's freaking scary 😱
I’m in Canada and get an error message when I try to listen to you. On Instagram it says that “people in Canada cannot see this content” and on your podcast it has nothing new since yesterday visible for us- what happened?
Why can’t people in Canada see your stuff anymore on instagram? It’s coming up with a message saying “people in Canada cannot see this content” and no new podcasts are available from you- I listen every single day… what happened? Did that block you ??
YouTube has banned me from making Comments. Being Censored EVERY WHERE!! We no longer live in a FREE COUNTRY!!!!
As a concerned Canadian, I applaud your efforts on behalf of your fellow countrymen and beyond. Your informed podcasts are appreciated more than you know. Keep up the good work that you all do.
Thanks to you!
Bernie! What a leader!
It's all smoke and mirrors. There is but one objective. Provide a tax break to the Oligarchs.
Thank you for being a source of truth is all this chaos. The gaslighting by the Republicans can make you feel like you’re the one who is crazy. Thank you for having the courage to shout out to the world THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
Can you make that Bernie clip available separately so we can repost?
This CR will codify these horrible changes!
I love what Bernie is doing. I hope he comes to Reno.
Thanks guys!❤️ Elbows up!
Bernie’s great…also Melanie Stansbury, JasmineCrockett, and AOC
Who is inane enough to believe there will be copious amount of money for all of us? MAGAs, of course. And he can't have any other media except pro Trump reporters. That's called fear because tough questions will be asked he can't rationalize.
And they just took away BILLIONS of dollars from farmers.
I'm really glad of what Bernie Sanders is doing. I just worry that the strongest leader the opposition has is 83 years old. I wish he was a lot younger or that younger ppl could give a strong battle as he can.
Who would want to join the US. They are happy and we are most definitely not.
He’s tanking the economy
Can you post the Bernie clips, like the one you included from his rally in this Podcast? This would be powerful, if you include a link, we can the share far and wide, not just SM. Thanks Denise
Trump needs to tell Elon to shut up. It's not his business.
Cant stop watching you guys done with MSNBC and CNN
The Trump sycophants are disgusting.
Trump is a liar 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Those are the ppl who work for him because no reasonable person would support his ideas.
When that reporter asked if he was worried about a recession, Trump just shrugged. Who knows, he said. He has no clue.
You wonder what his end game is, but he doesn't have one. Like Mary says, he doesn't think the world exists with him not in it. So it's all short term, in the moment. He's a very dangerous toddler who has learned to manipulate the adults around him.
And if he says it's true, it's true. Woe to anyone who disagrees.
Ben, you say if he had just done nothing the economy would be great. Think back to 2016, when immigrant apprehensions were at a 17-year low of 300,000 a year. If Trump had just kept his mouth shut and not drawn attention to the border, the numbers would have stayed low. But no. Everyone in other countries heard Trump was going to shut the border and so they decided to try to get here before that happened.
Finally, good point about where are the arrests for fraud and waste among all these thousands of people who are being fired? No arrests there, no charges, no indictments, but we have arrests of legal permanent residents who speak their minds, with no charges, no warrants, and then they're spirited off to unknown places. China does that too.
Buckle up!!
I wish other Democrats would help follow Bernie.

Stop being a politician and be a real person with empathy
Can you talk about Curtis Yarvin on a future podcast?
Can you do a segment on Pierre Poilievre?
Mark Carney!!!!
YES! Listening... listening... listening. Hardly anyone else in politics does this. So, of course people just feel they're being shouted at.
How about interviewing Bernie Sanders for us after he gets through with his Down With Oligarchy tours?
I live in Detroit. Our electricity is probably going to be cut off because of his mom not loving him enough.
We keep talking about how dumb they are. How dumb are we to keep watching as our future burns and we don’t have a viable plan to put out the fire? Even if every single American woke up to the fact of this disaster HE WOULD STILL BE PRESIDENT. Even if he dies MAGITES would still be in power!
I JUST Read his approval rate is 51 percent how could that be?????
KARMA IS A BEACH BABY!!!!!
Wish they'd all go to MARS and stay there!!! I didn't listen to his lies before he was elected and don't listen now unless it's these clips. Saw his BS Loooong ago!
Id love to hear from the invisible crew
Who are the NO votes on the republican side for cr 14?
Thanks for standing up for Khalil.
I would love to see you interview Malcolm Kenyatta!

Ben, stop bringing up stuff to give Trump things to think of if he hadn't thought of what you have been saying!! Some stuff you say get him thinking(if he can) oh I forgot about that! It could be something you say as far as he probably is going to do xyz!
Pete B. Thanks for all you are doing.
Andrew Mellon quotes...
Excellent work, gents. Please interview Carole Cadwalladr x
I find it amazing that you find the time to combine this with your day jobs! Thanks so much for your informed content - it’s my go-to for news on the USA.
Exactly! The "we're" isn't the American people but him and his buddies. Shyster!!!
The rare earth minerals in Ukraine are mostly in the Donbas region which Russia is occupying now.
It’s unbelievable how everything this POS touches turns to shit!
Need to do a better job of translating in day-to-day living terminology what a crashing stock market means to the average American who does not/cannot invest in the stock market.
The “we” getting richer he speaks of are the billionaires. He doesn’t care about “we” the citizens of the USA, or the “we” who care about children around the world, not just our own.
I've had a deportation story hit close to home today. I just read about it this morning. A young woman named Becky Burke was hiking around America on her dream vacation. When she tried to enter Canada she was detained for something wrong with her visa, supposedly. She's now sitting in Ice Detention Center in my city of Tacoma Washington. She's had to relinquish her possessions and wear a prison uniform and is being fed rice and beans like some common Criminal. She's 28 years old and her parents are beside themselves to try to get her home. My first thought was to try to go take custody of her but I'm not a relative so I can't do that so I called the Mayor to make her aware of it. I'm going to call my Congress women too this is just so out of hand!
Thank you. She’s Welsh, a U.K. national.
Cancel Amazon.
Short sellers are becoming rich for sure.
Trump is STUPID (even a professor said so), can't read, ignorant of HISTORY & ECONOMICS.
Trump couldn't read the CONSTITUTION!

Can you make the long clip available of you saying "here's how you do it" and the Bernie rally questions/answers... We want to send it out...
He is talking to his billionaire buddies! Plain and simple!
They chose all of the incompetents to crash the economy, kill off the population, and annex land. When tRump says that they’re going to have more than they can spend, it’s true, however he’s referencing himself and the oligarchs. Everybody else is dispensable. What about using the biggest military planes to deliver 14 worst of the worst to the concentration camp Guantanamo?
With all those riches, I WOULD LIKE to BUY MY COUNTRY BACK!
Not all people who voted for tRump are stupid. Many were naive, having never dealt with a toxic person, believing tRump and the media. They were conned. Doesn’t make them stupid. They want what we all want - efficient govt with little waste, investing in Americans, reducing deficit. Insulting them and elevating yourself as superior intellectually increases and solidifies the divide. We need to find common ground and understand each other.
ANIMAL SPIRITS????
BERNIE SANDERS RALLIES says it all!
MAGA GOP, Trump/JD VANCE/Muskrat ignore AMERICANS!
UNINSURED Americans, HOMELESSNESS...
MAGA GOP just nod that well trained DOGS!
MAGA GOP are incapable of governing - their claim to fame is PROTECTING APPLIANCES!
Let's not ignore WISCONSIN'S SUPREME COURT ELECTION!
SUPPORT OUR REVOLUTION & SUPPORT JUDGE SUSAN CRAWFORD who was interviewed by MEIDASTOUCH NETWORK.
Working TOGETHER, we can RESTORE DEMOCRACY, JUSTICE & EQUALITY!
I wonder if his "crowd" will watch "The Apprentice" and see him following a script and comparing him now to then -- it's not a pretty picture.
Meidas ppl!
Please - some coverage for the Russificaton of the Trump regime that is KILLING Ukraine’s chances of either success or a reasonable peace!
This is the REAL big story of our time, and few are covering it…. It needs you NOW!
Elections must not be computerized. Take “Tech” control out of elections!
The scale of justice topples when Tempertantrump sits on one side of it! That would make a great cartoon. The other scale hits him in the head as all fall.
Project 2025 via Tempertantrump Administration is working for BRICS.
They have abolished money to food banks, school breakfasts and lunches. Taking food from children who are hungry. They are all evil and cruel.c As long as their meals don’t stop. They go to bed with a full stomach, children will be going hungry to bed, and hungry at school.
Can you look into the story of the massacre in Syria of and estimated 2,500 people?
I would love to see Bernie Sanders on your show. I think it would be powerful to help show the audience comments as he listens to the people attending his rallies. The current administration has no care about or F's to give for the common people of the USA.
I very much appreciate all the work you all are doing.
I am really worried about free speech in your country. That poor man that is about to be deported because he organized a demonstration. The president should be ashamed of himself. He lets criminals out of jail and round up peaceful demonstrators, and ship them out and treat them like criminals. There is definitely something wrong with his brain and all his cronies.
Elbows up America🇨🇦! I love theMeidas Touch Network. Very informative.Keep up the good work!
I just tried to call one of my Senate members who is a republican. The voice mail box was full, and the system forwards you to another option for leaving a message. I waited for it to go thru the instructions for leaving a detailed message, and then it just hangs up. The democratic senator's mail box allowed me to leave a message. Not to insinuate anything, just the facts.
100s if billions of dollars collected by US citizens who will be footing the tariffs. What a fool, and I guess he expects Americans to buy his bitcoins, his gold watches, bibles, as Trump already has so much money he really does not know how to spend what he has already....RIGHT ! what a fool if you believe that.

As awful as all this MAGA Circus is -- and it's really bad stuff -- I'm beginning to think that the Trump-Musk act is a distraction. Trump is not in charge, is incapable of directing anything but chaos. The Musk bull is running wild through the porcelain. Where -- who -- is the ringmaster? At what point will Vance pretend to be the grown-up in the room and convince the clown car cabinet to 25th Amendment Trump? And then what?
It's smelly, slimy, and dark down here in this rabbit hole. I'm not comfortable wallowing in a conspiracy theorist swamp. But for the life of me, I can't come up with another reasonable explanation.
The only place where I get my information, thank-you
Got you on YT, Spotify and Substack!!! But its BartiromO. Geez . And KudlOw not Kudlaw.
Fetterman i read would vote yes for it
What else is in ‘area of Ukraine’? Russia and Belarus.
Mike lee is from UTAH not OK. Come on Ben!
Please stop showing Trump and his clowns speaking. I just can not stand to hear their nonsense.
Notice how he immediately diverts from answering the question by saying" the planes going to land"
Trumps most loyal cult members are dismissing the tanking stock markets as "stock markets go up and down all the time. Eh."
Were US soldiers arrested?
I’m soooooo broke!😫😂😭😭😭😭🤦🏼♀️
They need Greenland as a place to go to after they destroy the USA. That's where they'll build their bunkers.
As if he's going to make 350 million Americans Millionaires......WOW!!!
The US will be the land of Millionaires vacationing at the Gaza Resort sipping champagne 🍾
People around the world like American people just hate trump and his putin puppet kids. I think putin is are leader from what i see in cartoon drawings with trump in front of putin's knees and Bal*s with dog leash.
Meidas! Please talk sometime soon about the very scary AI takeovers by DOGE occurring in our government info systems!
Disgusting how he treats us like we don’t know that who’s getting richer is him and his cronies…He has No idea what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet…There is more of us than them and money doesn’t buy everything…Our power is to stand up for our Rights and Save America…Keep it going❤️🇺🇸….
Musk did the shut down of "X" with his cronies. People..why are you all so obsessed with the Musk platform? Move on. If no one posted on that platform, it would implode.
Can't watch.
I heard the most close to watch indicator of an autocracy is the failure of the stock market.
First time listener and new subscriber, absolutely LOVE what you guys are doing. Found you on TikTok last year. You’re providing a voice for all of us patriots who will never fall for MAGA nonsense.
FAILED BUSINESSMAN! YUP!
Selling OLD VIDEOS to BEZOS who's genuflecting!

"We're gonna become so rich, you're not gonna know where to spend all that money," said Trump to Musk...
Trump is such an assh*le.
Trump doubled tariffs on Canada today. For how long is the question.🐣
And then the guy from Pod Save America interviewed him after a speech and sank into the abyss by asking him if he would do drugs with him.....
I don't think trump understood the simple question regarding putin disrespecting him.
FABULOUS ! Intelligent accurate human and trustworthy 😇
From the guy who bankrupted how many companies?
Tesla will be the 1st bankruptcy of Donald Traitor's gang I predict.
Baghdad bobs?
Classic snider statement; Iim the only one who cares for you. Translation: you have no alternative to me.

That Bernie clip really hit me

The market is down over 600 as of 1:16 p.m. This isn't looking good, given that DJT had a CEO meeting today.
Is Jordy alright?
