Ben, Jordy, Brett, Ron, and the entire MTN cast (podcasters and support staff): what a delight it is to see and be part of your growth! I canceled WAPO subscription and used the savings to become a paid Meidas Plus member. I am 78, a FL resident, losing my eyesight to wet macular degeneration so your podcasts are a lifeline. SIRI reads me your emails. I am so very grateful for all of your affiliations and growing number of podcasters. Love KFA, Popock, TN Brandi, Coach D, learning of Noah and Adam Mockler, the movies you are airing. Keep up the great work!
Oh, and I voted early—my daughter drove me to the local library to put my ballot I the box and get my I Voted sticker. Blue, of course. And I 0post MTN many times a day on my FB page.
Thank you for caring, because the results of this election will have either a very positive or very negative effect on our allies. May the sane and patriotic Americans prevail.
Thanks for everything Ben, Brett and Jordy. Thank you for keeping this Canadian well informed during these scary times. Love you all to the moon and back. Finish Trump off once and for all. 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇨🇦🌊🌊🌊
I do wish that Meidas+ would allow one to choose the amount we wish to pay, either one time (donation), or monthly subscriptions, at a level one can afford, while still supporting Meidas+ financially, and in viewership. The current set "packages" are not always the best way to garner financial support. It's kind of a 'take it or leave it' situation.
I think it probably IS the best way to finance the operation, even though it’s inevitably prohibitive for a segment of the public who would like access everything, but can’t—or doesn’t care to—pay the rate. If you look at the incredible growth in MTN which we’ve all observed over the last couple of years—numbers of contributors numbers of behind-the-scenes people who make it all look so smooth and easy, burgeoning numbers of videos and podcasts, the equipment it takes to put all of it on the air—it all costs $$$. Should producers work for nothing? should the microphones and computers and digital audio workstations be donated by their manufacturers? Should all the commentators and writers take on full time jobs to feed/clothe/house themselves and their families? OBVIOUSLY they are worth every penny they make, and it ought to be a lot more!
THere’s still loads of content posted on YouTube every day, and loads of free content via Substack. Maybe some sympathetic rich folks could start a sort of scholarship program for folks who would love to see everything, but just can’t afford it…but meanwhile, those who can pay, should! And without the membership levels (which is how most Substacks operate), i.e. with a pay-what-you-like system, I’m afraid human nature says that a LOT of otherwise great people would decide that they didn’t need to pay a full $80 or whatever it is, as someone else’s subscription was surely enough. Sad, of course—but best to accept reality and just offer those membership levels!
The "Dynamic Duo" strike's again ! Thank You for the invitation,Ben and Brett. You've come up with a Brilliant way to cover the Election of our"Lifetime" for the American people and me. Will reStack ASAP 💯👍🇺🇸💙🌊🌊🌊
I wish i could pay you for your wonderful coverage. At 78, i find myself in financial limbo. Trying to settle a house in California for a new life in a different state. I will become a paying member as soon as i can. I promise.
Well, you can pay to subscribe to individual Substack threads. I am a paid subscriber to Meidas+ and some other threads that I regularly read. I’m a non-paid subscriber to some that I read less often, or that I perhaps don’t give as much credence to.
A young woman I helped 4 years ago, she was out of rehab trying to build back her life.
I gave her an (old but well running) car so she could go to school.
People do not understand how critically important transportation is.
If I sold the car I would have gotten maybe $800 or $1,000.
By gifting the car to someone who needed it, that really really made a huge impact on her life.
A lot of times people need just a hand up, that is all, just a break, a hand up so they can pull themselves up the ladder of life. The little bit of money I would have gained by selling the car would not have made much of a difference in my life, but it had a huge impact on her life. Huge.
I am so proud of her, she did it, she completed her program and became a licensed paramedic.
4 years ago I had to argue tooth and nail with her to register and vote. She was all "I'm not really part of society." Remember she had been way down just struggling back when I first met her. I convinced her she WAS part of society and she HAD to participate, could not shy from her responsibility to vote. Well anyway she registered, and she voted. That was 4 years ago. Yesterday I texted her, did you vote yet? She said not yet, but was planning on it. I jumped right on her, "C'mon you can vote Saturday and Sunday here, just go do it, do it tomorrow." This morning she texted me a picture of her "I voted sticker" I'm proud of that. She texted me that I motivated her to vote and after work yesterday she went ahead and voted.
I had left over literature from my door knocking on Friday so when we went to Walmart this morning I leafletted all the cars until I ran out of leaflets. So now I really am done. I helped. It might not have been much but I know I helped a little bit. I would say I got 6 to 8 people on door knocking that said they would go vote on Saturday or Sunday that they did not realize they could early vote on the week-end. So if Kamala wins by 9 people in my state you better believe I AM claiming that win! LOL.
We watch MTN all day long, and appreciate your commitment to Truth and Democracy👍🏻🇺🇸
This morning I had an email from Nikki Haley asking me to read her WSJ Op Ed & I wanted to vomit! I supported her & volunteered during her primary campaign, but am disgusted that she did a 180 back to support the Orange Lunatic 🤨
Thought I should share my response with you… feel free to use quotes or discuss if you’d like! We are too close to this going bad & I cannot stay silent (I’ve been off social media since 2017 when it got ugly & divided) when the American Experiment is in jeopardy!!
True “patriots” support Checks & Balances, equality and acceptance, Education as a path to success for ALL… not a wannabe dictator in a diaper! Ugghhh!!!

Here’s my reply to Nikki:
Seriously, Nikki?!
You know he’s the devil (possibly even the Anti-Christ)and should be in jail. You know he despises the military “suckers & losers” (like he called your husband, Michael🤨) He has always been a racist, misogynist, bankruptcy-claiming fraudster to avoid paying his bills or any taxes!
We grew up in NY/NJ and saw firsthand the piece of s@&t he is- from creeping on pageant contestants (I was one in a more legit system & am appalled by his behavior)to cheating on his wives/mistresses, to denying and evicting black residents so he could “upscale” properties, to literally knocking people over to get ahead (Cory Lewendowski was actually the one who pushed my cousin out of line to get into a Yankee game, then the Donald walked right over her without a word or gesture of apology. Just a terrible human being!) He’s a dangerous tyrant-worshipping wannabe dictator (yeah- “only on day 1” that makes no sense!) and does not deserve another chance to disgrace the Oval Office.
Project 2025 (which he knows nothing about…) is a scary manifesto for keeping low income, women & minorities down and “Making America (a Christian, white male supremacy society) Again”.
Taking over the DOJ & the Media, eliminating dept of ed & rallying law enforcement & “the military, if necessary” against American citizens who disagree with him or want to hold him accountable for his ignorance, malice and narcissism, oh and CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES!!! Despicable.
You know he has only one goal and that’s to absolve himself for the heinous Jan 6th attacks on Democracy & dangerous threats to our rightfully elected leaders. Stacking the Supreme Court with sycophants was not about Roe… we know he’s paid for abortions in the past. It was a distraction pandering to actual Christians for their support in order to have them do his bidding and make the consequences of his actions go away!
I’m still disappointed that you left the race, but MORE disappointed that you keep going back to kiss the ring, in hopes you’ll be the nominee in 2028- But if trump gets elected (God Forbid) you can kiss that goodbye, too, because he told us “we’ll never have to vote again”
We have to believe him and his MAGA maniacs are poised to launch a coup & start a civil war if he doesn’t win again…will you be able to sleep with a clear conscience at night, knowing you are on the wrong side of history?
My wife and I gave Idaho a helping hand by knocking on doors yesterday. Sadly, we live the Red section of Washington state. Let’s go Harris-Waltz! We got this!💙

Thank you for caring, because the results of this election will have either a very positive or very negative effect on our allies. May the sane and patriotic Americans prevail.
Amen!
Thanks for everything Ben, Brett and Jordy. Thank you for keeping this Canadian well informed during these scary times. Love you all to the moon and back. Finish Trump off once and for all. 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇨🇦🌊🌊🌊
You guys and all the contributors for Meidas Touch are heroes. Thank you for all you have done and will still do.
Can’t wait! I was wondering if you were but you answered that question. Let’s bring Madam President Harris home. 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊🌊

PS Do you need to be a paid subscriber to watch?
I wish i could pay you for your wonderful coverage. At 78, i find myself in financial limbo. Trying to settle a house in California for a new life in a different state. I will become a paying member as soon as i can. I promise.
Yayyyy
I hope I'll be watching from Germany. Your mail says I'm not a paid subscriber, but since September I am. I hope I'll be able to watch.
Paid subscriber to Substack?
Well, you can pay to subscribe to individual Substack threads. I am a paid subscriber to Meidas+ and some other threads that I regularly read. I’m a non-paid subscriber to some that I read less often, or that I perhaps don’t give as much credence to.
I got one more vote for Kamala!
