They Are Trying to TAKE DOWN MeidasTouch…OMG!!!
By Ben Meiselas
Don’t be fooled.
You may be noticing that some MAGA podcasters and right-wing podcast bros are trying to change positions on issues.
Most notably, you may have seen Joe Rogan pretending he cares about migrants and that he does not support the ICE raids against migrants who are not criminals.
A number of other right-wing podcasters are starting to moderate their positions as they see Trump’s popularity plummet.
A number of sports podcasters and celebrities who have not been with the cause are spending tens of millions of dollars to get clicks, and they seem focused on clout more than the issues.
Don’t fall for their lies.
These are the people who enabled Trump and still prop him up.
Joe Rogan will always be the first at a UFC fight to hug and fist bump Donald, who is still his close friend.
What has happened?
There has been a major vibe shift over the past week as Trump’s approval plummets.
The disastrous budget bill. The Epstein files. The ICE raids. The war with Iran. Trump’s failed trade war. The flash floods in Texas.
People are recognizing how weak and incompetent Trump is.
Now, the right-wing podcasters see their audiences rapidly shrinking. They see MeidasTouch growing rapidly.
They see that by speaking the truth, and by standing up for people, the MeidasTouch Podcast gets more downloads in a month than Rogan and every right-wing podcast combined.
Now the pendulum is starting to swing sharply against Trump, and all these right-wing podcasters are terrified they’ve scared off their audience by sucking up to Trump.
Also, corporate news that bent the knee to Trump is suddenly trying to copy the Meidas digital strategy—after mocking and attacking us for many years as we were building.
Look, all these people and groups think they can throw millions or billions of dollars into their channels and shows, and rebuild their audiences and brands. I think they are mistaken. People can smell inauthenticity and phonies a mile away!
Regardless, I welcome their challenge if they are coming for us. Also, I suppose their criticizing Trump is better than the propaganda they spewed—regardless of whether it’s driven by their failing business. It also makes you think whether they have any convictions at all, or if they just follow whatever side they think helps their audience. Who knows?
Regardless, the news landscape is more competitive now than ever.
MeidasTouch still leads all cable news in views and all podcasts in downloads—but we know we must keep on growing.

I support democracy and I support MeidasTouch......but....I think you have a much better chance of growing if your headlines were accurate.
Today's headline is "They Are Trying to TAKE DOWN MeidasTouch…OMG!!!" and nowhere in your email do you mention anyone trying to take you down. You do say, however, that "People can smell inauthenticity", so pretty please remain authentic.
How many more lies will we survive? Everything this heartless, cruel man has done is a criminal offense or a lie. His hair is a fucking lie for Christ sake. His education, crowd size all of it has been a lie or a grift to line his pockets with taxpayers money. His greed is shared by many people around him, lying to the American public daily and repeatedly. Young people are going to develop illness like we have never seen before and we are already seeing this. The mainstream media is part of this greed. These men and women are not journalists and have chosen to ignore us during these times and report nonsense. We are going to die if we don’t form a plan and rise up to this terrorist network kidnapping American citizens off the street and deporting them to foreign prisons without due process. This is terrorism. Look at the SCOTUS, cherry picking cases to invalidate your rights. We are under attack America. This won’t go away on its own and you are ignorant if you think it will. I’d like to remind you of 1/6/21. This greed wasn’t possible to achieve without using religion as a weapon and people as pawns. Many of these people need to make a very important distinction between true Christians and extremism. Maga is and will always be EXTREMISM. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/new-apostolic-reformation-christian-nationalism/
