Boys, keep it rolling.

America was not “ready" for Barack Obama. America will never be “ready” for anyone who is not a straight white elderly male. Not until we force the issue and become the supporters of the next generation in word, deed, and vote. I'm in.

The brothers have done a fantastic job. Ben Meiselas brings his legal expertise as a former civil rights litigator. Brett Meiselas brings his editing skills and expertise to the table being that he was an award winning editor of the Ellen Degenerous show. Last but not least Jordy Meiselas. The one that came up with the name Meidas Touch. He mixed both their paternal last name ( Meiselas) and his mother's last name Golden. And came up with Meidas Touch. He's brilliant. He also has a background in marketing. He worked for well known companies bringing his marketing expertise. All these skills makes their network a huge success! I wish them continued growth and prosperity. They deserve a Nobel prize for being stewardess of democracy and decency. 🗽🇺🇸

My dog boy has never in his 8 year life heard a single uttering from Fox ENTERTAINMENT ever in his entire Democratic life. He’s very much a Democrat. He is kind, empathetic, beneficial and sweet and cuddly. I love him! He’s what is good in the world! Oh, so is my husband!!!!

Agree with all criticism of same old media companies, but Rachel Maddow is due a hat tip for covering protests when NO ONE ON NATIONAL TV did so. Also, for her honesty and careful journalism.

Yep, & you, MeidasTouch & the rest needs to keep putting the screws to legacy media for their water carrying.

Also this here “(Yes, he apologized. He also complained about “context” and cast himself as a victim.) And he declared who can and who cannot call themselves Black.” Along with Florida’s “slavery was a a benefit” bs had me pissed 😡.

It resulted in me writing the historical based articles I post here on Substack.

Uh…we were most definitely ready for Obama so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Not only once, but we were ready for him twice!

Orange Cheeto's Social Security Fiasco

In this inflationary time for Americans with a deteriorating purchasing power of the fiat dollar(witness the rise in gold price which reflects this loss) due to the massive quantitative easing done by the Fed over decades, financial struggles for average Americans will come into sharp focus

The largest credit bubble in world history has been popped prompted by the Strongman and the equity markets are reflecting this With 3 straight days of greater 1600+ points/day this will not play out well and will tank the American and global economy

The country needs to go back on a gold standard that a Republican Nixon took us off which allowed egregious spending on both sides Bonds are going to be problematic when foreign investors stop buying our debt With China now alienated and the largest purchaser of our debt there will be a true currency crisis

This makes the Nazi attempt at decimating Social Security even more dangerous for Americans trying to make ends meet Fortunately the Orange Cheeto's admin is incompetent

That was a perfect analysis of what we have been saying. We want real news. Not corporate billionaire bullshit. They have failed us and we will let them fail. Thanks Adam.

Hey Sexy Patriot Dudes!

What’s up with your fine, sexy patriot asses today?! 🤩

LOVE your newsletter, Sam and Adam, and please DO keep up the great work! 💪🏽😎

But I don’t get it … this is at least your 4th coverage nail/knock-down about the “MeidasTouch” versus the “Joe Rogan Experience” in at least the past five days. Wassup?!

I do NOT — as the slightly altered saying goes — “have a cock in this fight.” I don’t subscribe — nor listen — to either the “JRE” nor to the “MeidasTouch.”

I count on you two dynamic, sexy, patriotic duo to provide / nurture me with a daily oxygen mask dose of irony, sarcasm, and wit — all of which you have consistently delivered for the past 2+ years of my subscription.

However, for the past week at least, you brilliant and SMART gentlemen seem to be veering off to condemn a third-party (and I could not care less) which smacks of willful censorship and targeted bashing (seems antithetical to your newsletter’s core purpose of balanced — if belovedly and expectedly and often wildly random — snarky commentaries).

I encourage you to “stick to your original knitting” — as this anti-JRE (again, I do NOT care one whit about this feud) is starting to smack of charlatanism and bias (more so even of your well-targeted, reliable, and highly-deserved smack-downs of other offensive “main-stream media” (whatever THAT is these days).

Keep up your great work, gentlemen … just a friendly “caution” from me about your “endorsements” and / or “sponsorships.”

😬🫣⚠️🚨😎☮️😘

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Our congrats and thanks to Ben, Brett and Jordy Meiselas. We are wishing you continued, unapologetic, pro-democracy success. Follow The MeidasTouch Podcast to help keep them #1.

Absolutely. During the 2024 election cycle, I saw the sanewashing of trump and the outright Biden bashing, and Harris hassling. Corporate media was rooting for trump and I turned them all off once I found Meidas and Substack. From the both sides CNN and NYT garbage to other outlets getting ready to cozy up to trump, I had enough. Cancelled both WaPo and NYT, cut the cable cord so I dond't give a dime to fox, and instead spent that money on quality content such as this fine site and Meidas. trump is easy money for corporate media. Les Moonces infamously said, trump might not be good for America, but he's great for CBS. Now, as long as dems don't find another way to snatch defeat from the hands of victory... With Meidas on the job, they will have to stay in the game and not flounder in the corporate media cesspool where they always fail. Go, Meidas, and thealtmedia!

The world would be such a gloomy place without the Meidas touch and Pod Save crew. And now I’ve found you. The news is safe to read, watch and believe again.

You need to let subscribers know how charges are going to appear on their accounts.

I had no idea what Prestige Inc was until I did a google search. Almost disputed the charges.

Now MeidasTouch needs to start mixing in with it's message that we will NOT GO BACK to the Status Quo. We will not let the Corp. Dems back into power. That is why support for David Hogg is so important. I won't give a dime to the DNC, haven't since that Beatch from Florida broke the law when Bernie won the Primary for President. HC4A, Increase Min Wage, Gun Control, Anti-Trust enforcement, a nation wide ban on gerrymandering, and womens rights, maybe we should just nationalize all of Muskovites businesses since so many are intricately entwined with our defense. It is about time take back space and put NASA back in the drivers seat. Centralized control of our satellite system. The people can control what our Government does. We just haven't bothered. That needs to change. And reinforce the Separation of Church and State.
