This is why they want us gone… MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas Sep 30 By Ben Meiselas They want us gone. Trump. MAGA. Corporate news. They want us gone. This is not going as planned for them. Good. They thought they’d dominate the narrative over the government shutdown with their lies. They thought they could blame it all on migrants and transgender people. It’s not working. Their playbook is failing. Every single major poll that has been released shows the American people blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown. America is waking up. People realize that it’s actually their healthcare that is about to be taken away by Trump. They aren’t buying Trump’s lies this time. We’ve been covering the looming shutdown for months. Just as we’ve been covering the Epstein files for years, we take a long-term view on all these pressing issues so our audience is not suddenly surprised by the chaos of “breaking news,” when the facts leading to a development have been going on for a long time. We’ve been talking about freight decreases, farming issues, trucking problems, and construction problems consistently for months. We’ve been keeping you apprised of international affairs—whether it’s in India, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Japan, countries in Africa, or China—so none of these recent developments come as a surprise to our viewers. Trump and corporate news want to exploit the shock and awe of breaking news which seemingly comes out of nowhere. However, it doesn’t come out of nowhere. We make the connections, we give historical perspectives and links, we focus on international developments, and we don’t give up on coverage when we get threatened by Trump and MAGA. We get more viewers than Fox on digital and Joe Rogan. That means tens of millions of Americans who watch Meidas have been aware for months of the root causes of this shutdown. They know the absurdity of the claims by Trump that he brought in $17 trillion in tariffs. Our demographics show that we reach a lot of red-state MAGA voters who are finally hearing the truth from us on social media channels, the same way they were infected with lies by right-wing media in the ’80s and Fox until recently. Now they hear the truth. This makes what we are doing very important. Existential. When I say we, I am including you and this movement. It’s important work, and it’s vital work that you help us with every single day. That makes us a target for Trump and MAGA and corporate news. But it’s worth it based on our mission together. Now more than ever, we must continue this mission. We must expand. We must reach more people. I am confident we will. Let’s keep our heads down and put in the work. We will always fight for you. We will always be by your side. Before I make a video now, let me make one quick ask. We need your help. So please subscribe now to this Substack if you haven’t yet. This Substack has allowed us to beat Fox and all cable news on digital and to continue to dominate all right-wing podcasts on the audio charts.

JUST A FEW COMMENTS: 

I’m seeing posts in Facebook from people who believe the Democrats are asking for trillions of $ for trans surgeries on minors, and healthcare for “illegals”. We need to counter these ridiculous claims with the truth.

I’ve been telling all of my patients, especially those with ACA insurance, what they’re actually asking for and who’s actually responsible. I called our one Democrat in DC this morning to ask him to get the truth out to all the people of Fox and FB obsessed MS.

I was kicked off FB because I would confront those ridiculous claims with the truth. Especially when the issue came out of the people eating cats.

My household is a Nielsen household, and given the fact that I pretty much keep the Midas touch network on YouTube at all times you guys are getting fantastic ratings out of this house.

Nielson measures online activity? Wow! As the A.I. 'bot says, This is a major evolution from their historical focus on traditional television ratings.

Good for you guys!

Thank you for what you do!

But, you’re preaching to the choir.

They want us all gone.

And the horses we rode in on. I think the choir is expanding.

I watched the speeches about the shut down after the WH meeting with Trump last night. Watched very little of liar Mike's because it was such another lie coming out of his smirking mouth. He made me want to throw up. They are not politicians, wanting the best for our Country and peoples. They are liars and cheats out to destroy our Country as we knew it and only make it their own. I doubt if there are more than 5 people in that party that are willing to tell the truth, if they had a chance. They sure are giving Republicans a bad name and a name that can't be trusted. I did see the clip of Durbin((?) telling what is happening in our government and going after Bondi. That has given me some hope. Great speech and honest, too.

This administration has got to go.

These tariffs have cost my daughter and son-in-law their mom and pop trucking business, trouble finding jobs. This on top of having lost everything in a house fire in a small rural town, and I mean everything including 5 beloved pets in April 2024.

As they had been having delays with the rebuiling.

The contractor just yesterday told them to continue building an additional $60,000.00 would be needed. This amount occurred due directly to the #$%%^^ tarrifs.

They don't have the money.

So now they no longer have a home!

tRump and his goons are now in Illinois, my beautiful home state. My 92 year old mother said last night there goes elections now, Hitler type rule is here.

The original quote from the contractor was December 2024, not even a year. So yes the tarriffs are a direct result.

At the end of the day …. The republicans have been complicit in electing Donald Trump and allowing the subsequent extremist take over by Donald trumps MAGA crazies.

The good republicans need to either clean house and eject the MAGA cult from its ranks or be forever as one and the same with the orange American Hitler and his guesstaco force and any future human rights abuses they inflict

There are still some good Republicans in this world that are more old-school Republicans. Maga are the crazies! That’s what they call themselves. They are so far off the charts that they are crazy!

Anyone who votes republican is supporting the take down of America. So there is no such thing as a “good republican” if they cast a vote for this. END OF STORY.

MAGAs are “Republicans” in the same way that Charlie Kirk was a “Christian”.

“The party of Lincoln?”

“The party of limited government?”

“Following the teachings of Jesus, viz Matthew 5-7, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 6, the Epistle of James?”

Puh-LEEEZ. They’re Republicans-In-Name-Only and Christians-In-Name-Only.

Thanks to Ben and the whole Meidas crew, the world is getting the straight goods.. Please support them. The way Trump puts his 17 Million dollar harvest: Claims by Trump that he brought in $17 trillion in tariffs would cause one to think its coming in from outside sources. Well the bad new is its coming from the American consumer. YOU. If one listens to the tyrants rant, one is getting shafted.

I drove my usual monthly trip across AZ so pleased with the easy flow of traffic. Later, I realized it was because there were no 18-wheelers on the road.

I have noticed the same thing on IH-65 and IH-70 in Indiana. Traffic flow is easier due to the lack of trucks.

Get off the interstate highways, and drive on state and county roads: a LOT of farmers have unharvested soybean and corn crops, with many “FOR SALE” signs planted outside farmhouses.

Are We Grate Yet?

We are with you every single day MTN. We are in this together because team work makes the dream work (the dream of a free democratic country). My thoughts are with our military members today - I hope they have the strength and courage to push back on the pedophile-in-chief. Bone spurs does not care about the military nor does he deserve their respect and admiration. He certainly does not care about our veterans because he slashed VA funds. To our brave service members: please remember your oath to protect the constitution, we are counting on you. We need to release the Epstein files, hold the pedophiles and criminals accountable, and start the work of rebuilding our nation.

I am Canadian. Like most Canadians, we love & support the anti-fascist movement & peoples in the US! We support you in any way we can like how we did against Disney about Kimmel. We canceled everything to fight it & we'll help against the Trump regime. Idk exactly how much we can do from here but we ARE doing wut we can. If we gotta send the MOOSE brigade, we will cuz we sure as HELL don't trust him with our BEAVERS! (Had to toss a joke in there to lighten the mood) We have our share of magats here, mostly in Alberta & we fight against them too. We just want you to know that no matter how & what he sez about us to drive us apart, WE all know the truth! We're your friends, not ur enemies, you're loved, wanted & needed like it used to be. Stay strong America and stay SAFE! We got ur back! Sorry, sorry for venting/ranting but I had to get this out. Fight as hard as u can whether ur a natural born or immigrant citizen. Trump, Vance, Dr. Ooze, RFKill everyone junior, Krusty GNOME, Crash Patel & the rest MUST be removed! Sorry again for venting but this regime is killing me. He's copying Fatboy N.korea & Po*tang & won't make a move without their ok. My apologies, I'll stop now. Sending all of Canada's love & support to you & thank you meidas for not backing down & getting the truth out! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

And Putin's invasion of Ukraine is not going as PLANNED! One would hope that when there is a plan for the take over of the US that the US Military and the US Supreme Court would take their responsibility seriously and step in ....... unless of course they are complicit ..... in which case they have stepped in ...... because the US is being taken over .....

Tennessee Brando has told his fans that in Red States, whenever you go in the South: Doctors Offices, Dentists Offices, Restaurants, Bars, Government Buildings, the Television programming is only Fox News. The Red States people have only the Viewpoints of what is shown on Fox News media and similar Republican based Podcasters. So this is why the General Population does not know the real truth. There is No exposure to any view points other than the Republicans. If Fox News Media was shutdown, then the General Population could hear the truth.
