Sunday Message from MeidasTouch Co-Founder

Hey everybody, it’s Ben Meiselas, co-founder of the MeidasTouch Network.

As you know, these Sunday coffee messages are my favorite posts of the week.

Even during difficult and uncertain times for our country and the world, taking a moment to sit down with a cup of coffee, reflect on the week behind us, and think about the week ahead is something I genuinely look forward to. More than anything, it’s the chance to spend time with this incredible community.

No matter how chaotic things get, no matter how serious the challenges we face, I always leave these conversations feeling hopeful because of you.

So here we are at the beginning of June.

Donald Trump still has no plan to extricate the United States from this catastrophic and unlawful war with Iran that continues to rattle markets, destabilize the global economy, and create pain here at home. I don’t need to tell you that prices remain too high. The coffee I’m drinking right now costs more than it should. Groceries cost more. Rent costs more. Gas costs more.

And yet Trump appears completely disconnected from what everyday Americans are experiencing.

Instead, he talks about golden ballrooms, arches, reflecting pools, and vanity projects that feel entirely detached from the realities facing working families.

I suspect we’ll see another round of regime media spin today. After Friday’s market selloff, I expect there will be headlines designed to create the appearance of breakthroughs and momentum. At the same time, Trump is reportedly preparing more events with major AI executives as he continues to stock trade and manipulate markets.

And as a lifelong Knicks fan who grew up in New York, I have to say this.Trump’s announcement that he’s attending Game 3 at Madison Square Garden has already created chaos. Increased security measures, longer wait times, and disruptions for fans are already being discussed. Somehow, even a Knicks Finals run risks becoming another Trump disaster.

It’s remarkable. Whether it’s sports, government, or national crises, everything gets pulled into the same orbit of self-promotion and hate.

And then there’s the bizarre UFC setup at the White House. The entire thing looks like a White House junkyard. At times it feels like we’re watching reality television rather than the functioning government of the United States.

The irony? Early forecasts suggest the outdoor event could be hit by rain and thunderstorms. We’ll see what happens, but it’s hard not to notice that even nature seems determined to weigh in these days.

Before we know it, we’ll be entering the final stretch toward the midterm elections. It’s June already. In a few weeks it’ll be July. Time moves fast.

These midterms will be the most consequential elections of our lifetime. Accountability matters. Truth matters. Democracy matters.

As always, we’ll be on the front lines covering every development, exposing every lie, and making sure the facts reach people who need them.

Today, though, I’m going to spend some time with family. My mom is in town. We’re taking family photos. I’ll enjoy some time away from the cameras before getting back to work.

But before I go, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for spending part of your Sunday with me.

Thank you for building this community.

Thank you for believing that facts still matter.

This week we surpassed 10 billion views on YouTube. We finished number one again on the podcast charts. Those milestones belong to all of us.

We’re going to keep grinding.

We’re going to keep telling the truth.

We’re going to keep showing up every day.

That’s what we do at the MeidasTouch Network.

Have a great Sunday, enjoy your coffee, and if you’re not already subscribed, hit subscribe and help us continue to grow.

We appreciate you.
