On this Veterans Day episode of the MeidasTouch, Ben, Brett and Jordy disucss the harsh truths facing America following Trump's win. Trump has already begun picking folks to fill his administration, including extremists like Tom Homan to be his “border czar.” Homan was the architect of family separation policies during Trump’s first term and was a Project 2025 author.
On this episode, the brothers also reflect on Trump supporters already facing the consequences of their votes, President Biden’s speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and the need for new leaders and we push ahead to safeguard our democracy.

FYI...Greg Palast, voter fraud investigator, found that 2.7 million votes are missing. Checkout his website GregPalast.com. Greg urged Biden/Harris to get Garland out of the closet to do an investigation.
This news troubles this British ally. But am not surprised to hear it. If the shoe was on the other foot I'm sure Trump would be whinng and screaming.
I looked at his website, just now, but do not see reference to him having found that 2.7 million votes are missing…..
There NEEDS to be a recount and checking the voting machines. Musk has people who are perfectly capable of hacking voting machines. This NEEDS to be investigated because something is fishy.
Garland won’t do a damn thing, unfortunately.
He is part of the problem not part of the solution! He sat on his hands instead of moving forward with trump right after Jan 6th! This such BS!
Trump should have been taken into custody upon the end of his term. Thanks, Garland!
On the discussion about why people voted against their interests - in my family I have two adult sons who I think both voted for Trump and when we were discussing the candidates, they said they’re not listening to Fox News, but they are clearly listening right leaning podcasts and spouting off things like, Kamala can’t string a sentence together and we don’t know what she stands for. We don’t like her at all so therefore there’s not a good choice. I think there’s a lot of things that contributed to the election results but the disinformation and the right wing messaging pounding away at one thing over and over again was huge to overcome for the Democrats. The transgender sports issue was also huge for my sons. So depressing and disappointing.
I am so sorry about your sons. And even sorrier that so many Americans simply cannot think. Did he ever watch a Harris rally and compare it to a trump rally???? Did he ever consider how many legitimate mental health care professionals were willing to put their name to saying trump is showing major signs of mental decline compared to how many said that about Harris? You did not have to listen to any particular news source in the election all you had to do was take the initiative to view the rallies each candidate had...both were very honest about what they would do although it was very hard to follow much of what trump said. I have read that there have been a few posts on social media where people have asked if they can take their vote back....if that is true that anyone posted that, well, that about says all we need to know about the voters in America. I have a nephew who is transgender and one of the best doctors in his field. I hope your sons will be sure to ask before they get life saving surgery is the surgeon is a transgender, and then pick a less qualified one if he or she is, or will they be hypocrites and say transgender is fine for saving my life but not sports. I can feel a little for your disappointment as I lost my best friend to trump several years ago and there has been no one to replace her and it gets lonely.
The interesting part about the transgender issue is that my sons are not opposed to or have any ill will towards transgender people. What they are opposed to is the whole sports thing with boys playing girls sports and boys in girls bathrooms. my older son is not a low information voter and he’s a really good debater so it’s hard to have these conversations. I’m a Democrat through and through and at least one of my kids is conservative and that’s hard in general. I don’t wanna lose access to my grandchildren I have a great relationship with them and so I try to keep my mouth shut and not get too much into politics but inevitably we do end up there and it’s never pretty.
I cannot imagine the difficulty of your situation. Sadly chances are unless one of your sons has a trans gender kid who wants to play sports they will never understand, and even then they may just disown the child which would be so very sad, but is happening all over the US. I hope you have a good support group to lean on, other folks that are experiencing what you are....often times that really can help.
I can appreciate your dismay. My grandson has broken off contact with me over my assertion that any Veteran who supports Trump has abandoned their oath to "support and defend" the Constitution. He demanded an apology and I said no. He said he wants no further contact with me. I told him it was his choice. My family is filled with career military Veterans of every conflict from WW1 through Afghanistan. I cannot accept draft dodger trump's assertion that they were all "sucker's and losers" much less, his total disregard of our Constitutuon.
I voted straight Democratic ticket, as I always do, and contributed to the Harris/Walz campaign on a weekly basis. I also wrote and paid the postage for campaign postcards through Daily Kos. I will continue to work to elect Democratic candidates to all levels of government.
But I am also a gender critical feminist, and it frustrates me that Democrats have embraced the most extreme aspects of the trans rights movement without really examining what that agenda means for women and girls in sports and in public spaces previously segregated in the basis of biological sex.
It also angers me that liberal Dems have chosen to respond to our concerns by calling us ignorant bigots who are tools of the white nationalist patriarchy. As feminists, we are hardly that, but we've been forced into an uncomfortable alliance with the right because the left has made it plain we are not welcome. This unquestioning embrace of the "transwomen are women" and all its consequences for women is definitely one of the reasons Harris lost.
What makes you people assume there’s ever going to be another election? This is the problem that I’m having.
I'm sick of the finger pointing and blaming. It's not a good look for the Democratic party. It's embarrassing and demoralizing. Kamala & Tim were great candidates. I'm devastated by the election results. I'm a naturalized citizen and have been here for years. Now I have to get ready for possible deportation and am concerned about my finances.
So if they denaturalize people does that include all of trumps children except Tiffany? No didn’t think so.
Make no mistake, they will target which companies they choose to raid… Home Depot and Hobby Lobby, for instance, doesn't have to worry just yet. It has nothing to do with "family values" it will have everything to do with political values of the company.
Campaign contributions by corporations may also play a roll in if a company gets targeted for raids. Citizens United screws America once again.
I don’t think he’ll go after many corporations. Instead it’s much easier to go after small business owners who rely on immigrants. Many small business owners voted for Trump, and will pay the price when they can’t get or keep employees.

Ok. I'm sure the Lovely goons at our front doors will happily be FACT CGECKING YOUR LEGAL STATUS YOU FUCKING MORONS FOLKS
The first lady crying 🙄but yet still " im not going to apologize " ... I hope her favorite stage comes soon and hard. They guy with his trump gear has bought into the lie that Everyone 😳 else are criminals (like some other's that have come) think that because they have become home owners and business owners "family oriented " that they are above deportation and family separation 🤬. I agree ppl (musicians, actors,retired military, members of government) and even present government positions Spoke up to late... and some will not speak now worried about their reelection. Donald will ride on everything positive President Biden started claim it as his own accomplishment and he,his base and the media will Scream and give him credit... Donald did it all 🤮🤬. I don't wanna point fingers because I only have a few but to all of his ablers,voters i give the 2 finger salute🤬.
I am so tired of T-rump all the time with MeidasTouch. He has dominated the airwaves since the 2016 election. Free advertising. Could we get him off his extreme dominance and give the pro-democracy team some publicity?!

Would love to be paid member but I’m a senior on limited budget
that tic toc girl is crazy as a loon. and she is a female. does she not see they hate her. how ignorant she is. and Thank God her family doesn't want her in their lives, she has lost her mind.
I totally agree…where is the Democrat leadership?! I feel deserted, when we lost by a narrow margin. We can’t just give up and turn everything over to them. I’m 80 and pissed as hell!!! They need to get out there and resist. We all do.
Regarding trump's deportation plans, please search and read Lucian K. Truscott's piece on Oct. 23rd titled, "Trump's Threat of Mass Deportation is a fear mongering Lie and here is Why." He lays out the incredible logistical obstacles that he will face. I don't refer this as any consolation to his horrendous aim but it will be an uphill battle for him.
Do you guys know when I try and post this to our county committee’s Facebook page, it gets tagged as “spam” and removed?
of coarse it does. Zuckerberg is a nazi trumper and will continue to send misinfo and do everything he can to help trump and musk. evil folks period. would do well to get off all social media , especially facebook and X. evil nazis running that cult too.
Wow…
get off social media and stay off. that is their source to destroy America. and it has begun and he won't even be in office til Jan. 2025. America will be no More. we will now be trumps Nazi country. Period.
extremely clueless girl!
really young and stupid.
Bottom line I believe is that a huge portion of the population is plain ass stupid uneducated ignorant and blind
There is something fishy how trump won so much I don't think it's all legal
The trickle down effects right? Has anyone ever even CONSIDERED the trickle UP effects?!
People are so blind. Immigrant come in at the bottom and so do " scut " work and work to build to be become Americans.
Working farms and do jobs that alot of Americans literally think their too good for .
So have you ever think how this is going to hit out economy this way too,?
Trump is an evil master mind
Bingo
It is absolutely the naïveness and uneducatedness of voters that they were counting on
I don't feel sorry for her one bit
She voted for a Rapist, Nazi, and a convicted felon. Plus all the people trump will do harm to.
Just another opinion but the Right Wing has a much larger megaphone than the Dems. Fox has been the soundtrack of many a middle class household for years. I don't really see that many liberal outlets or any attempt to nurture a liberal network.
I thought you said people shouldn’t be playing the blame game. A little over half way through, you’re playing just that.
Exactly I am really disappointed with the Democrat circular firing squad.
Troll?
The Biden/ Harris admin should develop a shadow government to deal with our allies. If Donny Boy was doing this for the past 4 years with our enemies. Then they can do it with our allies.
Love Brett and Jordy giving Ben shit about “Delulu”. Nothing like a little sibling joking around lol
Pull up your big boy pants, dust 'em off, blow your nose and drink some clean water and now fight the good fight! Resist what is wrong. Speek truth even when it coasts you to be uncomfortable. Uncomfort is a good thing ! Get moving, do something.
I love Meidas Touch, but am not able to concentrate on audio and don't have time to watch an hour of video. Any chance there is a transcript or summary I can read? I can read faster than y'all can talk!
Love substance version of Media+! Love ad free content as subscriber.
Biden wasn't a fascist liar criminal.
I read an economist say the deportations alone will outspend kamala’s real estate deals to citizens. Sorry lost track of the source
Land of the Brave Because of the Brave!!!
Love it. Should be a saying for Meidas Migjty.
Land of the Brave has become Land of the Stupid
Thank's to Donald John Trump.
Poor girl... she is separated from her family? That is so awful. Right?!
SHE MADE HER CHOICE. and now like all women in the USA she is soon to be a 2nd class citizen. And SHE voted to do that to HERSELF. THAT is the Height of STUPIDITY.
Calm down. It's sarcasm referring to Trump's plan to separate immigrant families.
Sarcasm HAHAHA the joke’s on you buddy.
I. just converted all my mutual funds to I class government. Don’t want to hurt people, but if we all pull out of the stick market, would be a signal or just make the rich richer…..
I recently subscribed for a year. On YouTube your podcasts are now ad free BUT when I want to listen to Meidas using my iphone podcast app your podcasts are NOT AD-FREE. How do I change that so your Medias podcasts are ad free when I access them through the iPhone podcast app?
Thats one thing that did annoy me about the Harris campaign. Instead of saying how GREAT the Biden administration (herself included) had DONE she distanced herself and said there was a 'new way forward' Actually one of the stupidest bits of politics I have seen in my 78 years.
The Harris campaign had to thread a very narrow needle. Lots of people hated Biden & so there had to be an effort to distinguish the two.
Arrest this satanic man who , if their “Christian” beliefs are true, will def burn in their own Hell.
Why can’t Biden do something now? Arrest trump as a danger to democracy!
Who's going to pick up Steven Miller's trash when the janitors are deported?
What I tried to say before, Trump tried to downplay Covid, and millions of people died, and HE got Covid!! He is a senile old man!!
You guys give me hope!! Keep doing what you’re doing. I got your back.
And that’s what kills me…Trump tried to downplay Covid, millions died, an
After Biden's shite debate performance the short runway left for anyone else to pick up and run with was bound to be a shit show. Harris didn't gain any traction in the 2020 primaries and nobody voted for her as president in the 2024 primary (VP is a far cry from the Oval Office). But what other path existed? I think it's a simple reason she lost was that a large number of Democrats just did not feel like she was their pic.
I'm sorry, but this yakkity-yak with a tweeker-eyes guy is turning me off quicker than the double jerk-off dance.
Maybe I'm too old for this style of resistance backlash, but as a former heavy metal bass player and topless dancer, I can only say wow...... shit's gone to crap. Please keep transliterating because I cannot watch or listen to this.
Is this an opportunity for the green party to step in as an alternative to milk toast Democrats? Most of the policies are the same. They don't have the depth of bench the Democrats do but what good has it done them?
Scaramucci made an interesting point earlier regarding moms and sons. The meme of the dad voting and telling his daughter I'm voting for you has a flip side. Conservative moms don't like all this work stuff for the way it is impacting their sons. That's where some of the women's vote went.
This so reminds me of the old movie invasion of the body snatchers.
My goodness, your grandfather looks exactly like Brett. 😍
TOO LATE!!! DONT FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO VOTED FOR A “CONVICTED FELON” A SEXUAL ABUSER, CAUSED A INSURRECTION , STOLE U..S. CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS!!!
WE HAVE A US CONSTITUTION!!! PRESIDENT BIDEN YOU HAVE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY!!! ITS TIME TO USE IT AND USE THE CONSTITUTION AKA….OUR LAWS!!!!!
You three are such youngsters. I just have to laugh. I will not be sorry for the illegal immigrants who may be marched out since the Latinos voted for him. Karma is a b$th.
Please tell us how a felon can become Commander in Chief of the military, though the military categorically will NOT allow felons to join the military.

Thank you for the podcast. My only worry is… are we preaching to the choir? You may already be doing this and I have just not seen it, but can you post short important videos on all social media platforms so everyone can be aware? Obviously if we subscribe to Meidas Network we already agree. We need to reach the people who are so ill informed. Thank you for your work.
Amazing and amazing and thank you for giving us this clarity and yes!! WHERE ARE THE DEMS OF OUR FUTURE??? Help us
And need you the MIGHTY! Honest and great stuff
Keep it going for our sanity
Can we PLEASE take a break from the photos/videos of these monsters? I'm in such a bad place that I can't even get through more than 30secs of of an update.
Have you guys went over the list of appointees so far to see how many are from project 2025?
Biden had covid and was given tylenol pm before that debate
Ben, get yourself on BSKY! This community is looking for you!
What you guys do is great, so appreciated. What scares me more than anything, I had posted some of my concerns on some of the videos before the election on YouTube . I have 3 brothers. all in their 60's and 70's. All did fairly well in life, all pretty smart and reasonable people. All seem normal, nice and kind. Not crazy MAGA , But....yet they cannot see what I tried to show them. They agree the country is a garbage can, and immigrants are invading the cities. The whole felony case was a sham. Kamala and Tim are stupid, can't put two sentences together and will destroy this country beyond recognition. I sent videos and facts, not just on Trump but what the democrats have done better than Republicans in the last several decades. There is more to tell, but you get the picture. So they are willing to vote this viral, disgusting, narcissistic, want to be dictator in office. I'm afraid this will take me a while to understand. They believe they did better under trump financially, we were safer, etc, etc. These kind of people really disturb me the most.
Oh boy, this means that Melania, Barron and their "entire family" WILL BE un-naturalized, immediately placed into concentration camps and deported.
In Trump's he was the Joke of the Planet. Now that he has been re-elected President again,
THE USA IS THE JOKE OF THE PLANET.
