I like to interview first because then I think you can incorporate it into your message later🤷‍♀️ just as a writer -those things inspire me …talking to somebody else gives me other ideas for stuff later! Everything you do is awesome🥰

Chris Hale's avatar

My view too, but I love Sundays anyway

Sandra Przybylski's avatar

Agree. I was just going to post that.

Merry Neth's avatar

Me too. Interview followed by discussion.

Catherine Voight's avatar

What would we do without Meidas Touch?! The interviews are insightful and it’s encouraging to hear from these leaders.

Wanda Enman's avatar

Honestly, here in Canada, it's the only news I will watch. Plus we have our own Charlie Angus with #MeidasCanada. Love Meidas Touch, they make the insanity less horrifying.

Elbows Up! We stand with you

Paul Richardson's avatar

Agree for sure🇨🇦

Scott MacFarlane did an interview with Dean Blundell. It was good.

Have to get the women in there!!! IHIPNEWS for US and The OShow in Canada.

Power ladies....please step up!!!!

Karen Rivera's avatar

Until I found this community of kindred folks I felt pretty alone in my views, and totally unsupported.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Community makes us so much stronger!

Martha Kenne's avatar

I am hoping SOMEBODY listens to those generals and admirals. Yikes. Congress? With some Republican spine? (I know, I know 🙄)

Karen Rivera's avatar

LOL! No such thing exists: "some Republican spine?"

Republicans are Invertebrates

Karen Rivera's avatar

Actually, that would be *slimy* Invertebrates 😆

Geri Cochran's avatar

They haven't been republicans in quite a while. The Party has changed to the MAGA Party.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Not that I want to give Old School Republicans any props, but there are old school Republicans still living underground waiting for the Maghat bullies to lose. Democracy has to have at least 2 sides in the debate for it to work so they have to come out of hiding. Without multiple points of view we get what we have now - Dicktatorship.

Martha Kenne's avatar

Clearly I realize that!! 😆

Hi Ben. Loved your interview with Mark Kelly! I like our coffee conversations early. Since you asked! Either way I do appreciate hearing the truth and benefitting from your research. The oil situation and the reality of it all is unbelievable. But then DT is always unbelievable. Thank you

Nonnie's avatar

Thanks for the news! Stay on the Arkansas races. Hallie Shoffner and Chris Jones are now ahead of (Little) Tom(my) Cotton(mouth) and French Hill! Sara Huckaby’s governor run is tightening up, with an unwanted retirement in her future. Good riddance.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

ditching sarah f-a-bee sanders & all of her kind would tickle my fancy.

Nancy Endersby's avatar

Man , Sara Huckaby is another one who I can’t stand listening to! I am not in Arkansas so don’t have to listen and can just read what she did later on.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Nonnie, Yay for hopefully getting DEMS back in Arkansas! Also make sure the voting takes place to make Huckabee outed!!!

SARAH SMITH's avatar

I live in Arkansas. I’m voting for Hallie to get rid of Cotton who doesn’t work for the ordinary Arkansans. I’ve been spreading the word as well as I can.

Sandra Przybylski's avatar

Didn't Trump get money for Venezuelan oil & stash that money in a Qatar account?

Geraldine L Sheremeta's avatar

He did..and continues to do so.

Msfis's avatar

Sunday message first please.

Terri Foster's avatar

Either one or both Ben. We need all the info we can get!

Brian Collins's avatar

Thanks as always Ben, to you and the team this sabbath day. YNWA.

Susan Friend's avatar

The country has had enough of trump. When are Democrats going to catch up? Party leaders like Hakeem Jeffries who meet with Jared kushner are NOT acting in our interests.

Gerry's avatar

I am NOT A FAN OF JEFFRIES OR SCHUMER. BOTH THESE guys need to stand down. They are not helping forge a future, they are anchors on the DNC. We will be back in this same situation if they don’t relinquish house leadership. Schumer, a Jew, is too entangled with Netanyahu; who the hell knows what Jeffries is doing with Kushner, but it can’t be good.

Geri Cochran's avatar

That's exactly what I think!

Gerry's avatar

Both of us with great first names & better opinions!

Thanks, Gerri

WJB Motown's avatar

Jeffries and Schumer are both bought and paid for by AIPAC!!! Progressive Dems better step up or the Blue wave will turn into a puddle very quickly.

Right now there is no true opposition to Trump.....just crckets.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Progressives are doing what they can, imo. But it would help if democrats would friggin' support them instead of putting blocks in progressives' way.

Catherine Winckler's avatar

As a Canadian, many of us don't quite see the 'clown show' vis-a-vis Trump that dismisses things like 51st state, governor, and now Lake of America to be just 'diversions.' Could it be that these are 'testing grounds' for a far more serious issue in the future that segues nicely into the Greenland 'clown show' -- that is, control of the North. And not just not a Sharpie takeover of the waterways, but actual entry. Last year the US ordered state of the art icebreakers to be built by Canada as part of the The Icebreaker Collaboration Effort or ICE Pact -- a trilateral partnership between the United States, Canada and Finland. I think this needs more attention. One day a lake, the next the 10,000 km of the Northwest Passage, increasingly navigable because of climate change? This is where I think the Canada/US/Greenland conflict will finally end up... and I just hope Meidas will be there.

Karen Rivera's avatar

It is concerning. I hope he's just way out of his lane and over his skis to be able to bring all of that to fruition. If Putin has given instructions, though, that could be a reason for all the focus up North.

Tim's avatar

Ben, I really enjoy the interviews first and then reading your message. Many thanks to you, Brett and Jordy for all you three do!!

Why Is It That Fascist Israel Gets A Media Pass?

WE are all watching the MSM report on the Iran war and the central focus is Cheeto and his not only illegal but costly war for essentially nothing gained to our country’s national security.

So why is it that in the same breath while critiquing Cheeto is not the fascist Israeli government not being brought into the conversation. MSM seems to have conveniently forgotten that it was Netanyahu who talked Cheeto into bringing America into his long wanted fantasy conflict. There are two issues with this.

First keeping the fascist Israeli government out of the line of MSM fire is curious as this fascist regime is America’a partner in this war. Why does Israel get a pass? Because part of America’s negotiation has at least been blown up twice due to their Lebanon military operations that took Iran out of a agreed upon settlement. But secondly, is MSM keeping Israel out of the news because the American Jewish community with its AIPAC political funding arm is a little skitterish about being linked to the war. Maybe it’s running an antisemitic protection scheme. Whatever there’s no excuse for MSM’s cover.

FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS, WE NEED TO CLEAN UP OUR HOME THEN the rest can follow!

Karen Rivera's avatar

Unlike t-Dump we know how to plan a project. First Vote Blue in large numbers so we take back healthy Majorities. Get rid of Traitor Jeffries; elect new Dem leadership in both Houses. Win the WH; initiate consequences for the traitor SCOTUS> Justices Roberts,Thomas, Alito: your Free trips and other incentives are over. Justice Kavanaugh needs to be tried for perjury during his confirmation, and tried for sexual assault and defaming the witness who came forward.

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

Yes, they are scum, they warrant to be revealed and prosecution to follow.

It's so shameful, so disgusting they get away with murdering our United States of America.

When yey are responsible

Madannie's avatar

You forgot ban skum from American and make sure he doesn't cheat again

Karen Rivera's avatar

Good point - We'll deport all of the criminals to a 3rd world country they've never been to! That way we don't have to support their worthless carcasses in a prison Thanks!

Susan Raquel's avatar

Glad that you brought that up as I have been thinking the same thing. How come no reports about Israel and what they are doing. TY

Karen Rivera's avatar

There is an existing Security Agreement with Israel going back to probably the 1948 founding of Israel, so we mutually have to show up to aid the other. I don't think that ever mandated being complicit and looking the other way about Israel's program of Genocide. You would think after the Holocaust they wouldn't want to be guilty of the same horrific actions. When Israel first went into Gaza, they were wholesale targeting and killing aid workers. Some were affiliated with an Org I supported. I reached out to my entire Congressional Delegation. The only one who even replied told me to not allow myself to become antisemitic. I said I was anti-murder, destruction and Genocide. There seems to be some "understanding" that we don't call out Israel; but Netanyahu is a different sort of animal.

Dee Joy's avatar

They all get millions from Israel according to AIPAC tracker list. They all work for Israel. AIPAC and other dark money needs to be removed from the govt. politicians need to work for the people only.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Not all of them. Progressives don't take AIPAC money. Though AIPAC is hiding its donations through other PACS.

Karen Rivera's avatar

When we win big majorities back in both Houses in Nov that needs to be high Priority house cleaning. we only have 2 years until the General Election

Susan Raquel's avatar

I agree, objecting to how Netanyahu is behaving is not being antisemitic. That would be the same as objecting to how trump is behaving and saying one is anti-american.

Geri Cochran's avatar

MAGAs will call you an antisemitic, but I just tell them "That's a maga".

Geri Cochran's avatar

This regime doesn't respect anything that's been done, so (though I appreciate the reminder) what we agreed upon at that time doesn't matter. The felon decides what's okay and what is not.

Karen Rivera's avatar

That's why it's a Dicktatorship and they are going to lose. Schoolyard bullies.

Thomas Thompson's avatar

P.T. Barnum would have loved Donny; they're cut from the exact same cloth! "A sucker born every minute" has been edited to: "They'll believe anything, so lie your ass off!" And the fact is, there seems to be 30-odd percent of America that WILL believe anything! The Venezuela deal is, just as the article states, a product of Trump's demented imagination. Big Oil has already turned down his entreaties to fix the oil infrastructure there, both because it would cost too much and because the govt. owns everything. They would most likely invest a hundred billion and then be told to take a hike! The oil is extremely low grade and difficult to refine and it would mean another huge investment in equipment to remove the sulfur. Long story short, none of this shit is going to happen!

Gerry's avatar

This approach was tried when they first stormed into Venezuela. Major companies said NO. THE OIL IS TOO CRUDE, TOO REMOTE, EXPENSIVE TO REFINE. IT WOULD COST MORE TO GET LESS. CHUMPS JUST WANTS US TO LOOK AT THIS SQUIRREL SO WE DONT LOOK AT OTHER TRUMPISMS.

Carol Gamm's avatar

Thank you. How many will still support Trump and his Trumplicans in spite of everything?

Renee Goodman's avatar

Carol, only the STUPID OR BRAINWASHED PEOPLE!

Geri Cochran's avatar

In rural east Texas: 98%. :( In the grocery store while waiting in line I hear their complaints of high prices - but they don't blame their savior the felon...they blame democrats and Biden. LOL

Well, some women simply don't watch the news because it's too awful. And they won't discuss it either. These are people I think that are sitting on the fence, having not quite decided who they support this time... Of course Catholics who are magas I hope will be ex-communicated by the Pope. MAGAs behaviors are directly opposite what Jesus Christ taught Catholics. If the Pope doesn't do it, I'm guessing these folks will have a surprise upon their natural death.
