For those asking, yes, I would like to start a MeidasTouch Network in the UK and Australia next in Q1 of 2025 in addition to Canada.

That's exciting!
Please send Anthony back to us. We'll send hard hitting GB News anchor Peter Andre to America as a replacement 🤣
U.K here ready to participate 💙✊🏼🦋
Second that. ✊
We definitely need good independent journalism in the UK. We face a very similar threat as America. Elon Musk is actively trying to destabilise our government. The threat to our democracy is very real and links back to the insidious Steve Bannon. Nigel Farage is the active torchbearer in the UK.
Please do not forget New Zealand, that little land to the east of Australia!
* the land of the long white cloud*.
Absolutely
BHN Big Hairy News is alive and well in Dunedin
Oh Lorde!
The world needs MTN's pro-democracy message. Fuck tegacy media that sells its soul for "access".
All about the money, eh Ben.
Is that Canada the country, or Canada the state? I kid, I kid...sweet jesus.
Excellent. Thank you. 🇨🇦
Yes please! 🇨🇦
Yes!
@meiselasb.bsky.social totally here for a MeidasTouchCDN channel. It's been a little weird hearing MT talking about Canada so much over the last few weeks.
Right? I finally feel like all my 5 years of training will pay off, following American politics as a Canadian.
That sounds amazing.
That's wonderful Ben, I'm sure they will welcome you with open arms, spread the news that not all American are Trump voters or supporters!! He won by a plurality, the rest of us are stuck with him.
Canada needs it. So much right-wing misinformation here.
Good to know! So when I get TH out, I wish, of this cesspool of a country I can still stay connected and informed! MTN is the only bright light leading us down a road of democracy, justice, and truths! I will NEVER again watch mainstream media! They are, one by one, showing us exactly who they are!
Canada needs that do look badly! Where do I sign up??
Whilst the politics in Australia is nowhere near as extreme as the US, our conservative party is definitely taking some notes from the Magats...
Copy that from
I’ll move to Australia to head up operations. Put me in coach.
Definitely Australia please 🙏 We are a ‘tricky’ lot here - so you’d have to be accurate with info related to us 😉 Not sure you’re up for that 😝😝😝😝
Actually in rethinking my last reply…. You might find it a breeze considering we use the Westminster System. More efficient voting and unclogged legal system. Two things the US lacks. 😉😉
Already watching you for awhile on YouTube from Australia
I'd be very interested in being involved in Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Yup, me too!
We need Medias touch in Canada. Trump is a threat to our economy and nation.
What about Germany?
Finally….
Wonderful 💙💙🦘💙💙
Thanks for expanding your coverage in Canada. Its much like the USA in the lack of media reporting. There is one large Liberal newspaper, the Toronto Star, and the only Liberal TV network is the CBC, which the Conservatives want to end if they get into power.
Justin Trudeau has been given the same raw deal in the media like the Biden administration. They both did great things that were ignored by the media, but the media constantly criticizes them.
All the rest are large Conservative Organizations that run the National Post, the Globe & Mail, Global TV, CTV and they all spout conservative viewpoints. Talk Radio is the same as well as local news stations
Yesssssssss!
UK is OK - quite near to Europe
And Ben, perhaps you could couple your proposed Australian operation to include New Zealand, as Meidas Touch Network is my 'go to' YouTube channel! I am an older New Zealand lady, and have followed you and most of your Meidas Touch content creators during the election and beyond! Thankyou Ben!
Here’s hoping that the UK, Australia and Canada are receptive. Awesome news network!!! Go Meidas Touch!
Great idea. The dark side has established a global network so initiatives like this are required to balance things out.
Oralè Resisters Latinos contribute $3.7 Trillion Dollars to America’s GDP. Trump plans on spending $2 trillion dollars deporting 10 million Mexicans. This is thank you the get For risking their lives in pandemic to feed America! #FarmWorkers
You should consider having your podcasts dubbed in Spanish. Trump didn’t gain support from the Latino vote simply by engaging with them directly. This last decade, right-wing billionaires have been buying up Latino radio stations across the U.S., flooding them with right-wing propaganda in Spanish.
1000%
Can I come Ben???
Keep it going!!
Yes, Ben. We need you in Canada.
Just make sure you’ve got culturally matching presenters and ride hard these right wing nutjobs cause I’m fed up opening my LinkedIn profile and seeing all these clueless, privileged idiots praising American dumbest ideas like privatising NHS, or Elon sponsoring russian cockroach farage. God speed.
Murdoch has also corrupted the UK and Australian media landscape, so some independent media would be great.
You may appreciate Michael West of YT The West Report. I do like the broad spectrum of contributors on #MeidasTouch. A sane alternative to the fraudulent Zio brainwash.
We need all your help here Ben!
I'm not sure how I can help, but I write a lot. I am US-based, I would love to get more involved.
Not sure about Aus. We have compulsory voting which means both major parties try for the middle vote. We don't have extremism like in the US e.g our conservative party banned anything above a double barrel shotgun about 30 years ago, and both parties send illegal refugees offshore.
Please, we need this in Canada asappp
Also not a journalist but if there is anything I can do to help this in the UK please let me know x
That is an amazing idea. I worry for you in the USA.
You will save on Canada when it becomes the 51st state!
Please, Please add 'The Republic of Ireland' as it is not part of the UK.
sad you need to remind people
Not a journalist but long time media and tech industry in Aus and keen to support. @deniseshrivell.bsky.social in the space could help.
Thank-you from Canada 🇨🇦 We desperately need MeidasTouch here. Love you guys!
Not in the UK, but a MeidasTouch in each of the four nations that make up the UK. I would support a MeidasTouch Network in Scotland, but not a UK or 'Bwitish' one.
Three countries where people know exactly what is going on, they are very well-versed in the who is behind all the bullshit.
Say yes to Canada we need more objective reporting for sure! I would be watching for sure. Do It.
I for one would like to hear 🇬🇧🇦🇺 and 🇨🇦 content in addition to 🇺🇲. Maybe even some 🇳🇿 as well.
My neighbours came over last night and said MT and you Ben are their favourite channel. YES!!! And we're all loving your Cdn coverage! Followed you on YT before you hit 250k. I knew you and MT were 1 of the greats.
Why is Canada a passing thought? We are your neighbor
Yes please Ben - Australia needs this 🌏
👏🏻👏🏻💙
God we would love to have you in Canada. Lord knows we are next on the MAGA hit list for our election next year.
Yes, Ben. A MeidasTouch Network would be invaluable to counteract all the Brexit nonsense that's still out there.
Please do! We could really benefit from you up here 🇨🇦
Yes. Counter the coming VOA disinformation that will be pushed by Kari Lake.
🇨🇦
Yes please! 🇨🇦
I would be humbled and honored to be a Canadian independent journalist with Meidas! If you're looking for people, please let me know! www.reddit.com/r/polls_for_... This is the gallery of work I've done so far, I started from square zero last June
Please help organize a counter programing for J20 inauguration. @briantylercohen.bsky.social @davidpakman.bsky.social @adammockler.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social @joyannreid.bsky.social No one wants to watch that garbage, we have a huge opportunity to put up our own
It looks like there aren't leaders stepping up in this, but I've seen a bunch of stuff. What I'll do, w research 👒, is check #J20 #boycott #nationalboycott etc stuff as we MUST have a coordinated strategy! I will suggest all of #US #USToo wear #blue 💙💎💙 on that day as identification! Agree??
I'll keep eyes for those tags, and feel free to tag me directly as well if anything starts taking root, I'll be happy to help. Nice to have someone else actually acknowledge it lol. Maybe we'll have to do one without them lol
That's great!! It's time @meidastouch.com had a more international presence 👍🙌
Go for it!
No you need to be a part of Bluesky cable network most of your analysis is spot on🥷 you’re like the liberal ninja heheh 🤭
Please come, we have way too much Murdoch media here in Australia!
You mean in Canada for reporting on Canadian politicians and their connection to MAGA and India? Biggest propaganda spreader is Rebel News which is a Fox News wannabe.
You need satellite journalists, several in each state would be a great start. So there can be eyes and ears reporting, on site, in real time.
Terrific, our mainstream media is owned by lying knobs and parasites.
You’re welcome to come to Canada anytime Ben!
I would love to somehow be involved in providing a Canadian perspective…we need a Meidas Touch representative in Canada.
Excellent news Ben and very much look forward to that.
Go for it!
Great - Musk is planning to bankroll the far right here in the UK and has been meddling by attacking our democratically elected Labour government.
MeidasTouch worldwide, everyone deserves the truth and facts.
If you do the UK, can I have a go?? Man on the street etc x
You are my #1 “go to”source for news. I’ve turned all my friends onto the MeidasTouch Channel as well. We really appreciate all your hard work. 💙🙏🏼
Canada needs this channel ! Yay Ben!
We do need a Canadian edition. Our deputy pm and finance minister, Chrystia Freeland just resigned
We are SO sane here in Australia compared to your 💩show in the USA voting that orange menace back in 🤦♀️
I used to think so, until the voice to parliament happened.
I voted Yes. Michael West of YT The West Report may appeal to you for journalism. Australia is brainwashed by Murdoch News Limited at the convenience of Gina Rhinehart. The main party politicians are just comlpiant lackey cowards of the Jewish Lobby. Our parliament & media are complicit to genocide
I'm following Michael already, also a number of indies. I also voted yes, but my heart broke to see Australia being sucked in by the lies.
It is disappointing to see ignorance & racism flourish on the Murdoch news limited fraud. I see today the new chair of the ABC is from 9. The rot really set in at ABC with the appointment of Ita. The world is becoming aware 9/11 was a false flag, & the govt politicians are unprocessed war criminals.
If you have direct contacts, please share healthcare system info to US listeners.
I would support that 🇨🇦
Keep up the good work.
Ben you will LOVE Sydney.. We are friendly. Sydney is expensive but a lovely place to live. Sadly a minority are under trump spell.
You will also love Adelaide.
Not to mention Adelaide Hills.
cc @@quesarasaras.bsky.social
PLEASE DO.. REQUEST FROM AUSTRALIA. Our potential PM adores Trump.. a Murdoch puppet.
@meiselasb.bsky.social curious if that takes your eye off the ball here? I also think it would help to have local meidas touch in local communities talking about local impact to all of the things that will occur
Your going to have fun in Australia. A resurrected Nuclear debate. Rise of the neo right. Racism. And do little parties. Just in time for an Election
If he's Active Duty wonder if they will discipline him under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) Double jeopardy could apply. Not WILL. BUT COULD APPLY.
@BenMeiselasYou need to do one in Germany! There are a lot of retired Military Civil Servants, and even Germans who speak English here who watch you as well!!
Yes please. We need independent information more than ever.
You sure do like to keep busy. Make sure you take time to enjoy your beautiful little girl….they grow up way too fast!
Sure welcome in Canada...As long as you do not give thousands of hours of free airtime to Poilievre as you did for Trump and his MAGA!!!
Promoting your network, while the fires a fascism rises, sorta like Musk promoting Teslas at the crash site.
So... Discussions Ben ?
👍🏻
Sounds doable. But beware of over-expansion of your empire. I'm kidding! Good luck in your future endeavors. I'll be there for you guys.
Excellent idea
Also.. make sure to check out Ian Hislop in the UK (journo and editor of private eye and host of have I got news for you)
Definately. You will get a kick of out some of our politicians but compared to US, we are pretty sedate This type of coverage from someone like you will shine a light on how things are in our countries compared to the US. Aus votes yes! PS: A collab with FriendlyJordies would be nice..
I think it’s fairly sedate because the snakes in the grass are all slithering behind the scenes conducting their bad deeds whilst they mouth off pathetic slogans in public mimicking maga doing the bidding of IDU & probably foreign entities
Nah he is too busy at the moment.
Like many other Canadians I would recommend currently independent journalist @rachelgilmore.bsky.social as a Canadian correspondent/journalist. She is without question the journalist most hated by the Canadian right. What better reference could she have?
That is good news. I think we learned the hard way that shared news IS good news. Truth is also good. Good luck, Ben!
Go for it Ben the whole world needs to hear the truth. We are all behind you guys. Stay strong and thank you
We are already working on stuff over here in the UK @majorityquiet.bsky.social and would love to join forces with you.
We would indeed! Hello @meiselasb.bsky.social
Canada must be next because they want to install Trump of the north with pollivere, as if we didn't suffer 10 years under harper
Amen! Harper was a disaster
Great. The UK needs you as the rise of Reform and Farage we need all the help we can get.
I appreciate you covering Prime Minister Trudeau standing up to trump. Canadian media has been Americanized and I’ve never seen such unbalanced coverage of a PM in my lifetime! Please cover more of his accomplishments.He’s not perfect but he’s a better human being than Maple mini Trump wannabe PP.
Canada needs this Have you seen today's shitshow?
Great news Ben.
Please 🙏💪
Without Tariffs!🙄
For Canada, do you plan on having a French-speaking portion of the MeidasTouch Canada network programming? French is the first language of about 25% of the population and one of Canada’s 2 official languages. Send me a DM if you would like to discuss this. I am willing to help within my capacities.
Yeah… welcome to Canada 🍁 🇨🇦
Yes, please! 🇨🇦
That’s amazing let me know I’d love to be a part of it and help save other countries from right wing bull!!
Wonderful 🇨🇦
YAY
@deanblundell.bsky.social @timbousquet.bsky.social @rachelgilmore.bsky.social
Let me know if there’s anyway I am able to help!!
Fantastic Ben! I’ve been mentioning the importance of a collaboration between responsible, independent Canadian & American & other country’s journalists& other professionals for a couple of years since I found you all on YouTube~It will be awesome!!🇨🇦
@meiselasb.bsky.social I appreciate all that you’ve done for the cause of democracy. With the upcoming election next year in Canada we are definitely in need of the @meidastouch.com to make people aware of the dangers presented by some who will be running for parliament. #TruthinMedia
How about helping organize a resistance?
PICK CANADA!!!!!
Canada needs you now! Trudeau is bailing as fast as he can, but the ship is sinking.
This is exactly what the world needs right now—a global shield against the lies of Trump and Musk. Truth isn’t confined to borders, and neither is the fight against disinformation. Together, we can expose propaganda, empower facts, and show the world that integrity still triumphs over deceit.
Meidas Touch gained a lot of followers backing genocide Joe & his trusty sidekick. Check out her form in California. Nut case. Dr. Jill Stein was & is the only person qualified to run the USA. Red & Blue are all Zionist warmongering psychopaths gouging the public purse for the AIPAC traitors. EVIL!
OMG yes please Ben & Meidas. People are being brainwashed up here, as were yours, to vote against their own best interests. This post is the "news" I've always wanted to hear for Canada, since our media is SO compromised. Every single CONservative is complicit by their words and deeds. Thank you ❤️
This makes me so happy as someone born and raised in Canada but now living in the US. As someone with dual citizenship I still want yo stay connected to Canadian politics and MeidasTouch is my most trusted news source now.
Absolutely!
Wow. That’s really ambitious Ben. I’m looking forward to seeing how this goes. I’m sure you will have success. We’re grateful for your analysis and the clarity you, your brothers, Michael and Karen have provided these past couple years. The UK and Australia will welcome you and your colleagues!
I would love to see a MeidasTouch UK. It would be a welcome addition in countering the pro-Trump lies we are being fed this side of the pond.
From the 51st state, we'd love it
Doors wide open for you here in the UK.
Cam Wison from Crikey, would be interesting to hear his views on the state of Australian politics
I would love to help you with Canada!
Same
If your covering UK, I’m from Northern Ireland and I would be interested in UK coverage. I would contribute to the content if I could, I find your network very informative.
I’m a UK academic and writer. If there’s any contribution I could possibly make to help establish a MeidasTouch UK, please DM me. My hourly rate is £0.00
Love this
I would watch the shit out of this. Regards, a UK resident
As a follower from Scotland, I think this is a superb idea
@crimsonslug.bsky.social
Antipodeans also need a Meidas Touch of common sense and balanced reporting …
Sounds great Ben! We do need a well rounded Global view of what's unfolding. Been watching you guys way too much for years now. We need foreign reporters asking real questions to tell our allies about security.
What a great idea!
With elections looming in Australia and the LNP already sprouting misinformation, it'll be needed.
Great idea. Canada needs your kind of truth, especially with the Finance Minister resigning today and the liberals being in worse shape than ever while Pierre Polievre will be eager to jump in with lies and bluster.
Your kind of truth is a dangerous idea, no?
Wonderful news🇨🇦
How bout the south!? We need more pro-democracy voices down here!
As an Australian I wholeheartedly endorse support and love this move! 😃
Talk to the Australian Prime Minister about Offshore Detention
Go on do it
👍👍!
Yippee!!!
OH!!!👀 Yes Please!!!!
Hopefully you’ll have more insight into what’s going on in those countries than you did in the U.S. All summer you fed us stories about how great Harris was doing and what a bumbling fool Trump was (well that is true), but the voters picked Trump. Fewer commercials more real reporting? Dump Cohen.
This Aussie approves this Idea! 👍 Bring it on! Thank you!
Yes! 🇨🇦
Wonderful news 🇦🇺
They need one—Elon is planning to buy elections in both places!
So important! You know Murdoch had had an unfortunate influence on the people there and they are hungry for the truth! Yes! Yes! Yes!
I'm in! Let me know!
That sounds great. Would love to be involved. Although, due to our political system we have nobody to rival Trump. Just fringe figures on the hard right, who don't have a lot of influence. And our High Court does not have the stench of SCOTUS. But there's still enough interesting stuff to report on.
I am sure Ireland would love to have a wee bit of MeidasTouch as well.
How many languages is MeidasTouch in? The same content translated to many languages????
This is great news Australian media needs a shake up. @friendlyjordies on YouTube is another great follow for everything Australian! 💙
How good would it be to see a Jordan / Meidas collab.
That would be something indeed 😆
UK needs you!
Go for it
Do it!
Ben, you need a good Floriduh correspondent since we are once again the center of the Turd Reich Redux. DM me. 😉
I thought if you were online and in social media, you were already everywhere. We need(ed) Spanish versions.
🇨🇦 please!
You may need to move to one of those countries
The UK need is desperately urgent! We’re seeing the Trump playbook starting to be used quite openly with Farage. He will absorb the Tory party before the next election & will play the numbers with the Musk machine et al.
Starting? Farage and Boris were the reason Cameron committed to an EU ref, the money for Leave came from Russia through the DUP, Boris sped E. Lebedev to HoL against MI5 nat'l security advice. Boris cleaned the Tories of decency years ago after meeting Lebedev in Italy; L's da put Putin in the Krem.
Canada! It is surreal hearing you mention our Provincial representatives on your channel. Can't stand Ford and the Conservative Party (I work in public education-he f'd us all as well as our hard working nurses & others) but I do agree with his position on the Trump and some of his asinine plans.
You need to get a lot better at delivering 'the news' and not be so proud of talking.
He need to keep his YouTube videos below 10 minutes.
CDN here, and that would be great Ben
