I appreciate MeidasTouch keeping me up to date.
O
MTN is my major source for information these days.
MTN is also my major source of news. Thank you so much for providing truthful news.
The grifter is losing his water wings
.. The only thing he'll be floating in
.is his toilet in prison...
Let's hope so!
So we get rid of the education department, which gives us loans for an education and funding for our schools and will now privatize the schools, which is expensive, which we will need to get good paying jobs to afford these schools but will not have the degree to get said job in the first place? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE..should be the democrat rally cry. Seriously.
I see lots of home-schooling comin' 'round the bend, unfortunately. Like you don't have enough to do already . 😏
Lol Yeah because we are all qualified teachers.The future of Science and Technology. Moms pumping out future doctors, lawyers, accountants. Etc. Homeschooling won’t be a viable solution unless one parent has a degree in early childhood education and another has one in continuing education. And what of children with special needs? No one ever thinks of them..ever. They are the after thought in these decisions.
'And what of children with special needs? No one ever thinks of them..ever. They are the after thought in these decisions'...no, not at all. I was a dedicated sub teacher for all the special ed kids; so they educated me at times were very special to me. My experience though, was most parents with a special needs child preferred to teach them at home. It's NOT a stupid way to go. All of then had to meet standards of the level of getting at least a General degree in college. It worked☺️sorry about the long ramble.
You are not looking at the big picture here .. Those kids most likely are all on Medicaid . That will likely will be gone. And if both parents are not working. How are they going to afford the doctors bills? since the education department will be gone how..in the future.:will the parents find a good paying job with no degree? Those kids that you are speaking of only are doing well because of the system that is in place right now.
Lol we will heavily rely on immigrants on H1B visas to do the jobs NO American will be smart enough to do. The migrant worker were doing the jobs no American wants to do (unless paid great) so we can get the education for the better paying jobs. they also want to get rid of Unions. At least the are finally waking up. But it is too late..unless Democrats deliberately pit the maganuts and the magatech against each other so much that Trump can’t do anything at all for 2 years until we take back the house and senate. Much like his 1st presidency.
Good! Duh!
Trump threw a Lollipop Party, and MAGAs were the only Suckers there!
I'm a Canadian that has been following you and sharing your posts LONG before the election because I knew this wasn't just going to affect the US. I love that you guys are supporting us in Canada and having Charlie Angus on so that you can get the message out to all your followers. Happy new year!
Just to let you know, a lot of Americans support Canada. I know I do.
As a Canadian, I'm encouraged by your careful analysis of information - from legal niceties, to how bullies work - to the latest news going on in the States. Even though I'm retired on no pension and living with one of my adult kids who's disabled, I paid a membership so that I could keep up with the actual news. WaPo? nope. NYT? nope. ABC? nope. Etc. etc. etc. Do have a Happy New Year, and keep up the good work all year long... Cheers!
Wishing you a happy New Year up there in Canada!
Not only is tRump weaponizing the government, he’s making it a for profit government. Absolutely outrageous!!
Meidas are probably one of the few media companies who aren't afraid of Donald Trump going after them. ABC, bent over for Trump and paid him 15 million. This multi billion dollar Station was afraid of Trump. Good job Meidas!!! Keep dishing out the facts about Trump.
Best Wishes for a Happy New Year. Yes we can have Joy.... I enjoyed listening to the brothers together!!! Thank you!
Have a great new year. Keep feelin' that Meidas Touch, everyone!
It would be so great if the insights you share to the world cause the collapse of Corrupt MAGA and their LIAR, Criminal, Traitor Moron leader Trump!
From your lips to God's ear!
Happy new year!
“Make America Gasp Again?” You betcha!
That Trump is posting the debt ceiling failure needs to be counted against the Dems - is one more case in point that every effort Trump can take to underscore the "bad" of the Dems must be addressed! He is owning none of his own failures and true or not (most likely not!), he is blaming everything on the Dems. We MUST counter his lies - ALL of them!
I thoroughly enjoy listening to you three keeping up with the clown show getting ready to take office.
Classic Ben when you mimicked Trump Kardashianized style too funny thank you and Brett and Jordy for all you do!
Happy New Year MT and all the Meidas Mighty! I wish continued success for all Keep expanding this platform and fighting for our democracy!
THANK GOD WE HAVE YOU GUYS INFORMING US
It really is a sad, sad, sad statement about the MAGAS that set themselves up to be betrayed, to be taken advantage of and to end up feeling abused by trump. Classic dysfunctional/wounded dynamic in "family". And by voting for Mr Trump, they have recreated this, not just for themselves, but for all of us. Now we rise above it and tell the truth, like you do.
Again, MTN you guys are spot on. You will save my sanity for at least in 2025. I"ll have to go year by year... Mmmm, let's change it Day by Day. HA! Anyway, HNY?!
Maybe you had better make that Trump post by Trump post. Esspecially those 3am posts when his brain is most bizarre.
The current dialog is that when MAGA realizes that they were bamboozled, they will be "pissed". The big challenge to that response was pointed out by Carl Sagan a few years back.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back".
Of course it is important that the Dems create sound messaging before the the midterms when voters weigh in again! Telling a person that they were bamboozled likely will not work!
Is that service a satanic event. Never would be a Christian service where someone is grifting with a $$$$ to attend event. Not even when the Pope holds services is there a pay to pray fee. But then again, Trump is pure evil and not an ounce of good can be found in him.
I attended Eastern Orthodox services for decades. A donation was gratefully accepted but never mandatory. But then we know about Jesus vs. the money changers in the Temple. Let's just say it didn't go well for the money changers.
We did warn them!!! You did warn them!!! Smh!!!🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I don't see all the MAGA followers feeling betrayed -- unfortunately, I'm close to many, and news doesn't reach them until it has been sanitized and told "what is really going on" by rightwing radio, emails, and mostly rumors and shared memes & clips with no context.
And even when they see a bit more reality, they will just follow like sheep. Before they were anti-crypto or anything non-cash/gold backed.. but they are all running to crypto without knowing a thing about it. Anyway, that's my 2 cents on mentions of MAGAs crying or complaining about who Trump seems to be siding with.
They are talking about on X primarily.
Just like the sheep they accuse us of being. Never tried to invest in crypto. It's pretty much smoke and mirrors.
What about your patreon subscribers?
Felon45 and Meloni are proving that absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
Sorry, I meant to say, "Felon34".
Awesome podcast guys. Hope you guys have a Happy New Year and will see you soon. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙💙🇺🇸
Exactly 1,000% correct.
It's not about the wealth of the people, but the will of the people that matters.
First of all, why do we have to re-check our email and click an additional link to sign into this feed to comment? It's too much trouble! That's just my take. Second of all, I don't think the affirmance of the verdict against him in Carroll II is a 'crushing blow' to Trump. It's not even a shock. Why would he care? At this point, E. Jean Carroll as brave as we all find her to have been, is just a gnat on his sleeve. He has all the power and all the fame and all the fortune. We need to focus on what's real, which you do -- defending our democracy, increasing the power of independent media, and keeping our state and local entities strong and supportive for two or four years. And, as implied, taking back Congress at the midterms. I don't think we should waste our time on anything other than the fight to keep our states safe and to take back Congress in two years and the White House in four years. If we lose sight of that, we will fail.
Thank to all 3 of you keeping the positive vibes flowing because if not for you I would be so depressed over the next 4 years,,, well hopefully people will wake up and vote blue in the 2026 🙏🤞
What is the plan to ensure we still have access to MTN when the authorial regime comes after the media? This is the only outlet I trust right now.
The world does know about Trump. He's the village idiot and those of us out here (I'm in Australia) can't believe people are stupid enough to vote for the village idiot to run the thing. What a lot of drips.
Happy New Year to all of you and your families! Blessings for a collective awareness where the US heals from this chaos. Thank you for all you do to keep us informed. Take care and keep up the fight. xo
The Louisiana Purchase was a purchase, not a war. AK was a purchase, not a war. trump is an evil clown not a deep thinking strategist. CNN is garbage, legacy, corporate news that rivals OAN in its fealty to trump.
trump admires Andrew Jackson, not the impeached racist Andrew Johnson, although trump is more like Andrew Johnson historically.
I am a 74y/o vetran and just love Ben's ABC motto. Pete Butigige as the spokesman of the Democrats has set a great example for us all.
Right after hearing the results of the election I became so upset and depressed I could not function for a few days. However after listening to MTN and the various posts I slowly began to regain my mental footing. I chaulk that up to mostly the clear messaging by Ben and the brothers. Then the clarity of the law as explained by Popok kicked in to give me a sense of hope. Now two months post election I am developing a determination to work to help fix this situation. Thanks to the whole crew at the MTN for helping me cope and for encouraging me to act to fix things.
Right now we have the BOW TO THE BILLIONAIRE PARTY ! Back in 80s I started my union pipe fitters apprenticeship and one of the teachers explained it basically like this if you get up in the morning
to an alarm and get dressed for work you’re a democrat and that’s what I will always believe
Thanks for getting your podcast to us without making us pay for it…which we will do as soon as we are able to!
Many words of wisdom from the Meidas wise guys☺️(and I mean that in the best possible way)..thank you for the updates and the laughs. Let's all have a safe and happy new year.🧨🎆🎉😄
Happy New Year. Thanks for your message.
You Boyz Rock💥 Thanks so much for sharing your Podcast for folks who can't afford to Pay for their News. Happy New Years to you and your readers🥳💯👍
Who is hearing the Kristen Walker show this morning with Johnson
What is wrong with YouTube? It keeps cutting off the video I’m watching and returning to a previous video. MTS your Meidas Mighty broke YouTube. Congrats 😁🎉
Help, I can’t tell the real Meidas Touch from the imposters on Instagram
I wish you would concentrate on this crucial component of the degradation of the Constitution about which no one cares. Think of that. The American Democrats cannot be bothered enough to uphold the 14th Amendment, Section 3. Trump simply cannot not be certified because in order for an insurrectionist (of which he was found guilty) to be ‘forgiven’ for being in violation of the 14th amendment and therefore be allowed to the Office of the President, Congress must vote to breach the Constitution and make an exception for Trump. Congress has not performed this requisite action. Therefore, under the Constitution of the United States, Donald Trump cannot be certified as President.

Sen Patti Murray must watch MTN as she posted on local news a win for a nonprofit in Tacoma Wa. Go Patti! Maria Cantwell lets start hearing from you.
Shout out to the Medias Mighty! I am impressed with the three of you. Scrappy but professional.
Happy New Year Brothers!
oh yes, that WAS interesting...I won't comment further..there isn't a whole lot more to say, is there ?🙁
