Nikki Haley, big mistake!

What Michael Cohen did in court was the best two finger salute in history.

Vote blue. Vote for president biden. He gets things done.

In my 78 years, I've NEVER seen a fringe party act like the MAGA party. This is unprecedented in my experience.

Nikki Haley just sold her soul!!

Vote blue for democracy

Michael Cohen was exceptional in the court. Well done Michael, you deserve to finally speak your truth about the disgusting monster that betrayed you. Karma 😃

Dina is smart and amazing. So eloquent 💙💙💙 Thank you for standing up for democracy and Law&Order 💙💙💙💙💙

God I’m praying for guilty with lots of jail time

We just got to say that the Prosecution did a magnificent job!

Is anyone in the court going to say “MC was sentenced to 3yrs for THIS crime. Why is it not a crime for DT?”

Ben PLEASE send Michael our LOVE!!! He has done well!!!! 💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊

Any MAGA republican who is currently practicing law in this country should be called out and disbarred.

In February 2009 I was in a wine bar in St Moritz. It was shortly after the election of Barack Obama. The bar was populated by intelligentcand successful people from all over the world and because it was such a small place ( made smaller by the owners Italian Cane Corso!) people soon discovered my friend Jen and I were Americans and our tab was comped and everyone in the place wanted to buy us drinks. They applauded us!!! One gentleman wearing a Tyrolean coat said to us as he was leaving, quote " America was once the leader of the free world. We are all hopeful it will be so with the Obama presidency" It was that statement that caused me to feel embarrassed by the antics and incompetence of Donald Trump

Not voting at all is voting.. but for the wrong people or the wrong reason. Two choices..Democracy or dictatorship.... choose wisely. But for the country's sake please VOTE!!

Any single juror who tries to hang this trial will never be able to appear in public again.

#TrumpInPrison2024!!!!! #TrumpInPrison2024!!!!! #TrumpInPrison2024!!!!! #TrumpInPrison2024!!!!!

Guilliani being told to report for booking at sheriff's office within 30 days is a positive highlight! 😊

We aren't talking about this cause we are all holding our breath, crossing every digit we have and saying prayers to our Gods. .. send this Anti-Christ to jail . PLEASE

1 WTH, Nikki Haley? 2 Dina - really looking forward to your shows. 3 Ben - take a break, it's your honeymoon!

Very glad 😊 that Michael Cohen did well in court, for the prosecution. 😮

Trump will still say he was acquitted no matter what

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

🕊️"It will be a great relief when the guilty verdict comes out."⚖️"

I think we already have a verdict! 😂 Guilty on ALL CHARGES😅

Meidas Touch break downs are Priceless!! The mainstream media is dropping the Ball on so many topics, thank you for keeping us informed!!!😊 VOTE BLUE 💙🗳️

I will light a candle and pray for the jury--Guilty!!!!

The way the juror's reacted to the Defense, I think 🤔 tRump will be found guilty 😔

Dina is the bomb. Beautiful smile, brilliant, well spoken. If there is a guilty verdict, let's all get out on the street and sing and dance.

I’m so happy she’s joining our democracy team but will be glad to see Michael back !vote blue and save our democracy

All of the news stations are just awful and these podcasts are the only way to know what is truly going on. Thank you Ben~!

Ben's right, Mainstream media has normalized #45's craziness and Dina can't yell loud enough for people to vote. So glad all of you are out there talking an discussing what we're thinking.

The jury will come back by Thursday with a verdict, and the verdict will be guilty on all counts. Trump will appeal. But the conviction will not be overturned.

Wow, 39,000 views in just an hour! You folks at Meidas are doing good work, attracting a lot of support and spreading MUCH needed messages of mature responsibility.

We have to vote vote for democracy help save our country we need all the votes we can get on the good side💙💙💙

GUITY GUILTY GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS !!!!!! THEY HAVE A SMART JURY.

I have tremendous respect for Michael Cohen. It takes a lot of courage to admit that you've been wrong, then still more to take a stand against the wanna-be mob boss. Here's to your good efforts,Michael. May they bear fruit!

I hope if there is a guilty verdict that the jurors are protected !

Tell Cohen not to worry about the court artist. He'll look like that in twenty years' time. Kudos to Michael Cohen. Living proof that your integrity can resurface. A man or woman who has never had integrity can not recover,that they never had. Stand down, Michael. You have been counted and not found wanting.

Looking forward to getting our Cohen back and that he didn’t go through all this for a hung jury and all of us as well.

Justice for Cassie & EVERY other victim of Sean Puffy Combs. 😡⚖️⚖️⚖️

I pray the jury reaches it's verdict soon.

The prosecution did its job. Now, the jurors have to do theirs, and I'm hopeful they'll arrive at the correct decision.

Yay Dina! Can't wait for your first full episode! ⚖️🗽🇺🇲 🎉👏🥳🥂

Thank you Ben & Dina! Michael Cohen, hope you are able to breathe, refresh and restore yourself during this pause. You did yourself & our fellow NYC residents proud. Thank you.

Ben you are a TRUE PATRIOT!👏👏👏👏

I watch MTN religiously. Such a great variety of people. I'm really glad to hear that Dina Doll is getting her own show. I think it's well deserved. She has a great way of breaking down issues to easily understand them. She has wonderful insight and expresses thoughts clearly. Good luck Dina can't wait for your first show.

We miss and love Michael Cohen ❤

The Meidas Touch sharing hope, thank you.

Dina is so sharp, she pinpoints so much in her analyses, it's truly a revelation to have discovered her work and that of Karen F. Agnifilo on your network: it's a fantastic opportunity to learn from them and enjoy their dissection of different legal situations ..! Thank you all for the great service you're all doing for the public with your media network 🌟

“I’m releasing a contraception bill in 2 weeks”. 2016-2020 “ I’m going to release a healthcare bill in 2 weeks”. Also 2016-2020 “I’m releasing the best infrastructure bill in 2 weeks”. Can we stop with this madness?

Dina Doll is superb -one of the best on TV 📺 these days!! 🎉🎉

Yes man!I don't watch corporate news anymore only your programming for the real news ❤. Keep it coming Ben and Dina

We have to hope there is not one cultist on the jury because we all know their minds cannot be changed.

If you don’t want to get fired, stay out of the board room. If you don’t want to be convicted, stay out of the COURT ROOM !!!!

Love Is Blue!

Well done Michael. Once this is all over you need to go on holiday for a real rest.

Love seeing Michael Cohen’s recorded sponsor messages while he’s on trial break. Stay strong Micheal, you did great!

Quality episode as usual. Dina is rocking it! Respect!

❤Dina Doll.

🥰👏🏆🎉 WISHING MICHAEL COHEN 💯💯💯LOTS OF LUCK!🙏🙏🙏HOPE HE WINS HIS CASE! Hang in there Michael!🎉

Excellent Reporting Ben, Dina & MeidasTouch!🎉 Keep bringing the truth! 😇 So that Trump & other Politicians who lies, will think before lying and commiting crimes again! 😈 In the end Democracy wins!🙏🇺🇸♥️🤍💙

Dina articulates exactly the things I have come to know and believe. I cannot wait for her show.

Costello was beautiful, handed it right to them. It was awesome to watch.

The only way you fix this is by Voting.

Dina Sayegh Doll has penetrating insights, great logic, and good manners. Ben and Dina listen and do not interrupt. Vote Blue🌊

Diana's absolutely right there at the end. In all of history I can't think of a time when things turns out well for those who lean into fascism.

Jail time!

You mean the one juror who gets his news from X and Truth Social. If this is not a hung jury, I will be pleasantly surprised.

YESSSSSS ❣️ 🌺❣️🌺❣️ GUILTY!!!

We think Trump and attorneys went into court with a false hope they would rattle , shake , upset , anger Mr.Cohen ! That never happened! But that did happen to the defense attorneys 😂😂😂😂😂

May this be a Grand Memorial quick Week ! .... GUILTY

Me too, God I’m praying for lots of jail time. No cell phone.

I'm really praying that the jury sees what we have, and they find him GUILTY!! Everyone else has and is doing prison time that had anything to do with Trump. Now it's pass time for his turn!! Please vote guilty!! Vote blue to save our country and democracy 💙

Thank you guys from Germany!🇩🇪

❤️❤️ More Dina please!!!

Hi Ben and the lovely lady, Dina Doll❤ What a beautiful, fun name. I really appreciate the Meidas Touch...

Thanks, Ben and Dina! 💙💙💙

I am so proud of Michael. He did a fine job testifying!

Dina is a doll! Beautiful and smart. Does not need to fake anything

Thank you Ben and thank you Robert Costello and especially thank you Dina Doll

Yaaaaa ! ! I am so glad every time I hear Miss Doll will be back 😊😊😊 She is great ! ! We need her voice, her energy, and her presence. Thanks, Ben.

I quit ABC and CNN for MT, for exactly the reasons you list, Ben. I'm sick of the Trump-pandeting by mainstream media.

It would be Soooo delicious if it turns out that the jury was convinced of Trump's guilt by Costello's performance, since it was Trump who demanded he gets put in the stand! Just the chefs KISS!

👍 up to Michael Cohen. But like I said, I knew he would handle those nuts with dignity and grace...😊❤ Looking forward to his intake when he is back on Political Beatdown❤

If the Juror's are smart, they would have seen that Trump's lawyers had nothing, and at best try and convince them that this is everyone's else's mistakes.

As a woman who has had many years of political history. Nikki Haley is always been given more credit than she deserves…. Really dislike saying that.

Costello...the witness from hell!

I'm ready ! My champaign is chilling..🍾 🎉 He's Guilty as charged!

On Tuesday! Great Ben ! Thank you so much , we were really needing to know this! That’s great news ! I hope it is a guilty on all counts ! 🙏🤞🤞🤞

Ben, calm down. We are as pissed off as you are. Thank you though, for being as passionate as you are.

Congrats, Dina!!! I'm happy for you, me and all the women in our Country!❤

Thanks from the UK

I'll tell you. Why corporate media is silent. They think Trumps not gonna go to jail.

Truly enjoy the back and forth between you both, it is a real treat to hear Dina's unique perspective and amazing insights combined with Ben's energy and ever-constant research and ability to back up everything he tells us. Thank you both for another terrific discussion. So happy to see that Dina will be on regularly in the future; Dina, you are a special addition to the team. Your warmth and deep care for our democracy shines through in everything you say.

Dina rocks! Look forward to having her as a regular✌

As someone who once was planning on moving to the USA. Back then USA was a cultural mesh, but everything was rather chill and peaceful, 9/11 happened about 5-6 years later. After 9/11 everything seemed to start changing, globally. Fear or terrorism spread like a disease from the US to Europe and in Europe to my home country. Irrational thoughts started to sound more and more logical even though they had nothing to do with logic, only emotions, than then affected the logic. In my homeland the situation has developed since 2007 (?). Firstly, rascistic concepts started to appear in politics. Some people were amazed, what is happening. More and more far-right thinking appreared and whether we liked or not, the rhetorics and those rascistic concepts started to be more and more normal. And on political stage, no one really could tell, what the actual target of that kind of speech was, what did they want? They wanted to shut down borders from illegal immigrants and refugees, and that was pretty much everything. As the time went by, there has been more and more Christian religious concepts and the finance politics is even more far-right than before. We had our own "Republican Party" but that far-right, in which many Democrats etc. believed in, but were frustrated with the politics of that day and gave their vote to the far-right, have noticed "Republican Party" is more considerate in finance and economics than that far-right. Milton Friedman and all the big names of Republican politics and our own politics, have been thrown to trash and we have got a new rule based on: "Nothing to the poor, refugees, unemployed, those going to school, to veterans, old people etc. etc. etc." They are themselves sucking part of the money but directing it to big businesses which is pretty much killing our inner markets and causing inflation. Now, seeing Republicans in the state of turmoil and chaos, I do not recognize the God-fearing party anymore. It has become that far-right party that we have been witnessing in my country for over a decade. Blooming large and blaming others for their own mistakes, like it was their strategy, but I do believe they are "believers" who have no capability to self-reflection, self-criticism, irony etc. So what else is there, than making up statistics because universities are futile and statistics lie, unless they are self-made by the party, and blame other parties and people for their own mistakes. Sounds familiar? It does. And that has, in the end nothing to do with nationalism, religion, concerns over immigrants etc. It is about their own fears that they can not reflect and they themselves are making all their fears come true. In my country it has meant: "They fear terrorists, so they have become terrorists themselves". They do not fear themselves, but other people do, those who had no such fears before are now fearing the far-right...

Justice is long and treacherous.

💖💖💖💖💖🔊🔊🔊 YAY DINA. It is a pleasure listening to such an intelligent woman. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
