What promises does the Midas Touch Network make to its community after the 2024 election?

Ben Meiselas 0:00

Good morning, Midas Mighty, joined by my brother Brett. Certainly not the show that I wanted to uh do this morning. Um certainly not The mode that I wanted this channel to go in to. I was excited to build upon uh the rights and freedoms and projects that I think President Biden did well, but I want to send a very clear message to all of you. The first very clear message is is that the Midas touch network is not going anywhere. This community is not going anywhere. We are going to continue to grow this community together. And we will never tire, we will never stop protecting, defending, and doing everything we can to save our democracy. That is my promise to you. My other promise to you is that we will always be in this together.

Ben Meiselas 1:11

We will get through this together. And I'm not going to say it's gonna be easy. I'm not gonna say this is simple. But I am going to say that we will lead with the values that we all built this network on. And those are not values of hate. Those are not values of demeaning people. Those are not values of trying to hurt or harm or divide. It's what we've always believed this network was and is talking about the importance of democracy, talking about Passion. being there for our fellow Americans and frankly fellow humans who inhabit the world. And in a space media. That It's pretty much now dominated by billionaire oligarchs who control the corporate media. There's frankly no choice we need. to build a people powered pro democracy network and continue to grow.

Ben Meiselas 2:34

It's moving forward. I think we will increase our coverage on our federal court system, the ins and out of the Supreme Court. We will continue our coverage, of course, on all of the day-to-day events through a pro-democracy lens, not a propaganda lens that you will see elsewhere on CNN and MBC and all these other networks that have propped up Donald Trump. You know, and I I I I certainly see today um People pointing fingers at other people. That's what the oligarchical billionaires want us to do. They want this group and ethnicity to blame that group and ethnicity. And that group to blame, this group and this one to point at that and say it's your fault and to divide us as Americans and as and as human beings.

Ben Meiselas 3:41

That's always been the strategy to get people to ultimately do things against their own very self-interest and what's better for them. Енсо, а й болів і з момент. Not gonna tell you. how to feel. Uh I I'm not gonna if i if you need to spend some time and and and and w whatever you need to do to process this. Take your time and process this. And I'm not trying to make this sound like it's easy, like this is somehow theoretical or philosophical. No, I understand this hits human beings. especially marginalized communities, especially women. But what I want to make to you as a promise. Is that we will be here for you. We will do everything that we can to continue to grow this network, to continue to lead with our values.

Ben Meiselas 4:58

and to do our little part each and every day. I think Rather than pointing fingers at each other and saying, Well, it was this group that screwed us and that group that screwed us and you're the one who really screwed us. I think you have to look at

How does the show describe its core values and why are they important now?

Ben Meiselas 5:17

What were the billionaire oligarchs one what do they want today? They love when everyone's pointing fingers at each other, rather than pointing fingers at them. The real bullseye of of the situation is that mostly all of our media, mostly all of it. Ever almost every single aspect of it. is a right wing owned entity by some corporate conglomerate at best, or a sheer right wing propagandist operation. At worst. That's basically the structure of corporate media. Even a lot of these digital websites are owned by um kind of corporate overlords with you know with agendas. That they have to, you know, pursue. And we saw the consequence of that uh here in this election. We saw the outcome of of what that means.

Ben Meiselas 6:20

And so We will continue to you know. Videos every day, the shows go on. And we're here with all of you. And uh I want you to know that.
