Hey everyone, it’s Ben Meiselas here on Monday morning with a message.
We need your help more than ever to spread the word about this independent media network.
As we approach the midterms and beyond, I never want to take for granted what this community has accomplished, or rest on the past success of this network’s growth.
We are constantly under attack by right-wing media networks, by Trump and MAGA stooges, and by the Trump regime directly.
Our hosts are fighting the biggest battles on their platforms and in the courts, bringing transparency, truth, and justice.
And this is an international battle, not just one here in the United States.
We see Trump and Netanyahu interfering in foreign elections, on top of Putin’s interference, and it’s all straight out of the same playbook.
What Trump is doing in Brazil and across South America is exactly why we need to focus on our international growth.
So let me give you some easy ways to help right now.
First, the easiest: subscribe.
Subscribe to our YouTube channel. Subscribe to MeidasTouch on audio. And tell a few friends or people you know about this network today. That goes such a long way.
Second, if you can, become a paid subscriber.
Now’s the time. We understand these are difficult economic times, and we’re grateful if you’re able to. I hope we’ve shown how we’ve built this network brick by brick, from our DC bureau to our international divisions to our hosts across the country and the world. I think you’ve seen over the past year that what your membership contributes to is tangible. And we’re growing not just for the short term, but for generations.
Third, our book, WTF America. It’s based on the MeidasTouch community, and the first page is dedicated to you, the Meidas Mighty.
In it, we lay out the generational challenges we face, and why, as important as elections are, we also need to think about the long-term growth of an independent news network that gets out the truth every damn day.
There’s an audiobook that I read with my brothers (we spent countless hours in the studio recording it, or at least it felt that way), plus an ebook and a hardcover. It comes out October 20th, but pre-orders are important, so please pre-order if you can.
Finally, and maybe most important of all: remember we’re in this together.
These next few weeks are the sprint. We sprint like hell to be truth tellers and get out the facts. As I’ve said before, I don’t even believe this is a partisan message. It’s a message of lived experience. Trump has been awful for 99.9 %of Americans, and MAGA has been so harmful to this country. We need to get out of this hell, and we can get out of this hell. There’s a real opportunity to send a powerful message about human values and principles.
I’m going to be sending more of these morning messages.
As you know, I’m doing YouTube videos and live shows and running around all day recording and running this network.
But I want us to speak more, every morning, to pump each other up, stay motivated, and stay refreshed. I want to hear from you, and I want this to be interactive.
We’re in this together, okay? We’ll get through this. I promise you. And we’ll be here together every step of the way.
We love you. We’re grateful for you.
Shout out Meidas Mighty.
I wish MeidasTouch had come along 15 years ago, but you’re here now. Proud and privileged to be a paid subscriber 💗 thanks for all you do every day!
Thank you for the morning update Ben! I tell everyone that I know about MTN and I hope at least few subscribe. We need to go Hungarian on his ass and put a stop to this madness. We know he is trying everything in his power to cheat. Let's make him the lamest duck ever. Have a great day.
