welcome to this special edition of the midas touch podcast we are excited to make a major announcement here live with everybody as the midas touch network continues to expand continues to grow, continues to support the development of lots of people who are moving into this space of YouTube, new media, the way news is consumed in 2026. It is with a great honor to introduce the newest addition to the Midas Touch Network and also someone who the Midas Touch Network will be working with and partnering with to build a media network, YouTube channel, sub stack, and everything that comes along with it. Everybody welcome Scott McFarlane. You all know him. a legendary reporter now the midas touch network's chief washington correspondent and in addition to being the midas touch network's chief washington score correspondent scott mcfarland will also be launching his platform scott mcfarland reports
You can subscribe to Scott McFarlane reports on his YouTube channel at Scott McFarlane News. And then also a sub stack where you can search for Scott McFarlane and subscribe to his sub stack as well. Let's bring on Scott McFarland to talk about this incredible announcement and to also talk about the types of things we'll be doing together. And then let's talk about building Scott's platform. And then let's get into some of the news with this war in Iran. Donald Trump here on the homeland attacking Robert Mueller posthumously. Then you have Treasury Secretary Scott Besant saying, look, it was Mueller who raided Mar-a-Lago. And then also just that reckless, reckless, malicious appearance by Scott Besant, the disinformation flooding the zone with this Trump regime.
And frankly, why growing platforms like this? Why you joining the Midas Touch Network? and why you launching your own platform as well is so important. So, Scott, let me hand it over to you to just talk about this announcement.
Hey, Ben, it's never been more important. to be a reporter than it is now. Let's just reflect on the significance of this moment. You have this distinctive, if not historic, moment of political toxicity, political violent threats, a challenge to the separation of powers, challenges to democracy. It's never been more important to be an enterprise investigating reporter. And it's exciting to have this platform. People who watch, who listen, who I know care about these things. It's in their DNA. It's in their bones. They care about the future of this country and the future of democracy. And we have now this limitless platform and this limitless opportunity, Ben, for unfiltered, unadulterated reporting, independent reporting where everybody has some skin in the game.
So talk to us about this kind of dual role. And this is the kind of way I think the Midas Touch Network is going to expand. Because on the one hand, you're going to be the chief DC correspondent for the Midas Touch Network, which I think is going to play a vital role to our nearly 7 million subscribers on YouTube. We're one of the biggest substacks out there. You have... incredible sources in washington dc and throughout the country and so bringing that information to our substack to our youtube to our platform is going to be massive but when we use the word our it also includes a platform that you're going to be building and this is where midas touch wants to be the fuel uh to engines like yours to build your own media platform to build your own youtube
to build your own media company as well so that you can do this reporting as well and also build something generationally as well that I know you always wanted to build. So talk to us about that as well, Scott.
I think the values are pretty clear, and I hope they come across as consistent. I've been championing this for quite some time. Not going to platform conspiracy theories, not going to platform lies, and not going to allow the whitewashing of history. And that's the ethos at which I'm tackling reporting, have been for some time now. And I think when we launch the program, the daily program, it's going to be an informational, newsy program.
