On this ad-free episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, posted here exclusively for Meidas+ Substack subscribers, Ben, Brett, and Jordy tackle the latest political news and unravel the corporate media’s complicity in enabling Trump’s corruption.
Maddow surprisingly backed Biden's plan to pardon Hunter and spoke about much of the same things you did. I don't know how you feel about her, as she is legacy news, but if they ever try to get rid of her, I hope that you may try to bring her on board.
She’ll start as a guest, but the idea is to eventually give her a show of her own, similar to Legal AF or Miss Trial. Her boldness in legacy media has been remarkable, always pushing boundaries. With the freedom to fully align with The Meidas Touch truth, the possibilities are exciting.
She is one of the true voices over there, but if they oust her, she is extremely well-off. I think she might retire and maybe write another book. I don't see her moving to YouTube. But, one can hope right?
I don’t think Rachel Maddow is driven by money. Her career has always been about spreading the truth and making a real impact through her journalism. Sure, she’s rich—she could have left her current role long ago if money was all that mattered. But people like Maddow, who truly make a difference in the world, aren’t just in it for the paycheck. As for moving to a platform like YouTube, I doubt it would matter to her as long as she could continue her mission. What she values most, and has always prioritized, is being surrounded by people she respects and admires, who share her dedication to meaningful work. That’s what sets her apart.
I’m sure Ben has someone reading the comments here, and I’ll leave it to them to decide. I appreciate you telling me what to do, but thanks anyway! Have a great day, and let’s remember, this isn’t YouTube—let’s keep it respectful.
I'm glad Joe pardoned his son. What was he supposed to do? Let him rot or be tortured in prison by the Felon Administration, or mysteriously die there like Navalny? Joe did the right thing.
Someone should sit down with Trumpanzee and explain to him that Hunter is a reforming addict who regrets his actions while Trump is a total shit. This may be too subtle for his empty head to comprehend.
MSM is running the clips of Patel threatening Hunter Biden, right? Of course not! Truth telling is not their thing. When President Biden said he wouldn't pardon his son, there wasn't someone nominated to a position that would allow him to destroy Hunter. President Biden did the right thing!
For King Maggot and his jokers to be so angry makes you wonder and worry what the sentencing would have been...makes me despise all the Maggot supporters even more.
Dems complain Bidens too docile and now complaining he’s too brash. They don’t Even discuss that Biden and his son have been targeted by trump as Biden Criminals and on list for revenge….and trumps putting Cabinet members in place who swear to follow trumps wishes!!!
What parent would leave their relative esp son, in harms way. DEMS are a lost, out of touch colony….go home!
I absolutely loved that President Biden pardoned his son. I'm amazed at how the mainstream media is normalizing Trump's crimes and his cabinet choices.
Trump is a lawless criminal and a perpetual liar. He will do what he likes whether President Biden pardons his son or not. I'm glad President Biden pardoned Hunter, who was singled out as a political target when Trump wanted to smear Joe Biden. Great move, Joe! You understand the absurdity of providing a "perfect" political response to the insane reality Trump has created.
"He lied"! "He Lied", "He lied"...they cried in fake indignation. ! Never mind their guy LIES ALL THE TIME! That's all he does. Who the hell are they to call anyone a liar! They are just pissed off because to quote Nixon, "They won't have Nixon (Hunter in this case) to kick around anymore". They were salivating at the prospect and that has now been taken way from them. BOO HOO. GO JOE!! You did the right thing. To have ignored the threat of KRAZEE KASH PATEL, would have been parental malpractice, especially since they were only after him because they wanted to get at Biden!!!!
In the meantime South Korea had an attempted coup, a martial law that legally lasted 155 minutes, and military leader is still supporting the corrupt PM. People stood up and protected democracy there. Bluesky was the place to go for news during this entire episode.
You are totally correct! So disturbing that many dare criticize Biden. Like that will promote Trump transgressions. Are you crazy? He is doing fine on his own. I hope Biden will pardon hundreds that Patel will persecute. He is obsessed with Hunter and has no scruples.
Hunter should be protected. And others. His charges were absurd and unprecedented.
Shame on Tim Miller and others overreacting when we’re dealing with such dangers to our democracy.
I've been thinking the same thing. Preemptively pardon all members of his administration, Democrats in Congress, Liz Cheney & Jan6 commission, Adam Kinzinger, and any media figure that Trump has threatened by name.
I’m so glad Biden finally pardoned Hunter! Now they need to go on a long vacation out of this country so those crazy MAGA nuts can’t touch them!! F all this high road 🦬💩!!
Also Meiselas brothers please, please make sure you protect yourselves and your family before this madman takes power! Also everyone who is part of this independent network!!
I’m so glad Joe pardoned Hunter. He actually has been the victim of a “witch hunt”.
I 100% agree
Yes, absolutely!!!!
Me too!!
I so agree!
Your absolutely right xx

I would love for Ben or Michael to have her as a guest

Maddow and Lawrence O'donnell are truth speakers. The only news I listen to other then Meidas Touch, Legal AF !
Don't forget Ari Melber!
She is one of the true voices over there, but if they oust her, she is extremely well-off. I think she might retire and maybe write another book. I don't see her moving to YouTube. But, one can hope right?
Absolutely! Please read my response to Jaye. Take care
I don't think they can afford her. She is making 25 million a year to work one day a week .

Okay , ask Ben to invite her to come on as a nonpaid guest. That should answer that question.
I’m sure Ben has someone reading the comments here, and I’ll leave it to them to decide. I appreciate you telling me what to do, but thanks anyway! Have a great day, and let’s remember, this isn’t YouTube—let’s keep it respectful.
I’m happy for Hunter!! Stupid Trump wants to pardon all his J6 thugs but it’s not ok to pardon your son?!? He’s a freakin idiot!!
Me too!
I'm glad Joe pardoned his son. What was he supposed to do? Let him rot or be tortured in prison by the Felon Administration, or mysteriously die there like Navalny? Joe did the right thing.
Very well stated !!

Intentions matter

And why can't he change his mind for goodness sake. Shame on all those who diss biden! Stop this crap
Biden has always stood up for us with honor and integrity. That he's now standing up for his son with love, is no less admirable.
100% correct. Keep on pushing back!
For King Maggot and his jokers to be so angry makes you wonder and worry what the sentencing would have been...makes me despise all the Maggot supporters even more.

can't win for losing

Joe did right pardoning Hunter. He should grant clemency tp everyone on Trump's enemy list.
Could image if he did...that would blow their minds
