Don Lemon and MeidasTouch GO LIVE On Substack

Welcome to Substack, Don Lemon

By Ben Meiselas

I’ve got to say—hosting this Substack Live with my brother Brett and our friend Don Lemon was one of the most energizing moments we’ve had since launching here. And yes, it was a first: Don Lemon’s very first live appearance on Substack. And he brought the fire.

We launched MeidasTouch on Substack because we needed a platform that doesn’t censor independent voices or water down truth to appease corporate overlords. A place where facts matter and where community thrives. And having Don Lemon—a journalism icon and fearless truth-teller—join us on Substack? That speaks volumes.

Don's debut on Substack is already a powerful reminder of what makes this platform essential: authenticity, independence, and a real connection to the people. He talked about leaving the suits and makeup behind in favor of man-on-the-street reporting—capturing the raw, unfiltered voices that the corporate media too often ignores or distorts.

We laughed, we got fired up, and we dug into some real talk about Trump’s dangerous incompetence, the unraveling of his MAGA ecosystem, and the billionaire class that’s trying to buy our democracy—literally. Elon Musk dropping millions on races in Wisconsin like it’s Monopoly money? That’s not democracy. That’s oligarchy. And Trump’s cabal doesn’t even try to hide it anymore. Their SignalGate chats read like a frat house playing a video game with the U.S. government. It’s disgraceful.

Don said it best—people are waking up. And with his on-the-ground report, he is seeing this seismic shift happening firsthand. The Trump regime thought they could keep firing people, gutting veterans’ benefits, and giving power to unelected billionaires like Musk without consequences. But reality’s catching up with them. And thanks to independent journalism, the truth is getting out.

And we will keep laughing. Because as Don reminded us: joy is resistance. That’s why fascists hate humor—because when you mock them, you strip away their power. So yes, we’ll fight hard. But we’ll also cook breakfast, sing karaoke, and crack jokes about Trump’s sippy-cup America.

This is the start of something big. Don’s here. We’re here. And you’re here.

Discussion about this video

Yes, I’d like to see a regularly scheduled joint show with you guys and Don Lemon, sounds great.

Expand full comment

Yes, and please do lots of Don-on-the-street clips in those morning shows. I hope you also talk to the siloed MAGAs and plant some seeds of truth in their compromised brains.

Also, so many would like to subscribe to several Substack contributors, but can't begin to afford the cost of each one. Would it be possible to take Jim Acosta's umbrella idea and offer one discounted price subscription to several contributors?

We need to request hand counting of ballots for all elections. There are some shady things happening with the voting machines. Listen to President Trump and take him at face value when he says, "Thank you Elon for rigging the election."

Expand full comment

You are so right. I have started doing a deep dive. Wisconsin / Pennsylvania and Michigan

Expand full comment

Another way they cheated: Over 3 million voters were Purged from the voter rolls in ALL the swing states. We have to fight to keep them from getting away with this again!!

Expand full comment

Yes… I thought I linked 2 of Jessica Denson’s videos

Expand full comment

Especially in 2026. Numbnuts is keenly aware of his unpopular policies and will try even harder to rig the election with Elon's help.

Expand full comment

A group of statisticians led by CHIEF STATISTICIAN Dr. Elizabeth Clarkson who served as the Chief Statistician at the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University have found some surprising data from all of the swing states concerning voting machines showing potential election manipulation. When she legally requested a hand count of ballots in Kansas, she was told the election was over and her request was denied.

Here is the youtube link regarding the investigation:

There is a lot of information regarding the outcome of that should/must be investigated and reported on. There will be a lot of obstacles thrown in the way, but it’s very suspicious that dump thanked musk when the election was over, the votes counted and the results were in.

The truth will come out one day.

Expand full comment

Same thing happened to 7 more states. Jessica Denson has been covering it. Was there a “mole” in the Campaign?? I have only one name I suspect but I don’t want to be sued by her

Expand full comment

Great thankyou. Please see Election Truth Alliance they have a petition to demand a recount. They have proof musk rigged the election. They've done podcasts with Jessica denson and others, to detail their evidence.

Expand full comment

Thank you so much, Chella for posting the best video that exists on the net!! It's 100% how I've been feeling ever since the cursed nov. 6th 2024!!

Expand full comment

I sent you a DM. I stumbled across Jessica right before the election. Did you know she beat 🤬🐣💩 in court 4x. The fourth was a class action where 100 of his NDA’s were overturned. Maybe Putin has the NDA’s?? There is an eerie quiet from the rest of that family

Expand full comment

Oh my gosh! I didn’t see this so I’m all confused but… it makes my anxiety go to the most intense level. True “MAGA” terrify me because this is like being a character in a really bad “fractured fairy tale”.

*🚀🐀 Robbing Hood

* The 🤬🐣💩 Emperor with No Clothes

I can’t even think of one to describe MAGA as a “whole” separate species in some “lala Land Way”.

For me it’s just “Frozen” for far too many reasons. I often feel like I don’t want to move this is all so insane … they make us feel like we are making everything up. Omg

Expand full comment

You need to conquer your anxiety. I have a very strong anxiety too but I've felt all this a decade ago; in a way, I'm having it a bit easier as I now see my dreads were warranted and my anxiety was understandable.

Do not let fear paralyze you but if it starts doing that, then, take a break and relax. Remember you're only one human person and you can only do so much!!

Expand full comment

Those are Jessica Denson. She has a bunch more because she interviewed most of those who wrote duty to inform letters. She has one from last week too, but the one with the election official is so profound

Expand full comment

From the moment it was announced tRumputin "won" the popular vote, I knew that was NOT possible unless a steal for him took place!! From all the materials that independent experts showed what was going on the nov. 5th 2024, I got 100% convinced that election was the real steal!!

Absolutely! everything they say is a lie and every accusation is a confession.

They're criminals heading to prison, of course they cheated. Trump is the biggest cheater that ever lived!!

Hello beautiful lady

How are you doing and how are you enjoying the show Ohio?

Expand full comment

If we can heal the divide between “we the people” we may have a chance.

Expand full comment

AGREE 👍🏽

Expand full comment

We have to remember they are a cult. We need to have a MOVEMENT so we can have all of our “Former Republicans “ and “Never Trumpers “, former Tea Party Republicans, independents who are republicans and democrats who were Republicans. We need a Movement because he only cares about “American Soil” and we need to be US… blue states connect to Canada???

Expand full comment

Precisely, Chella!! Anything and everything in order to stop and defeat tRumputin&his entire reign of terror!!

Expand full comment

I am just not sure about those who still believe that there is nothing going on and they aren’t “into” politics

Expand full comment

Those who say “we aren’t into politics” need to understand that they’re automatically by default NONtRumputinist and the terrorist tRumputin-regime have a plan to enslave them in various ways once ANTItRumputinists “get destroyed”. Tell them in this totally unprecedented situation - it is impossible to be not into politics ‘cause tRumputin-his regime only need their warriors; anyone else is dispensable - tRumputin already bragged about shooting people on Fifth Avenue, bloodbaths, slaughters, how disabled should die, about his favorite character hannibal the cannibal lecter, how he wants his generals to be more like hitler’s and many other generally murderous ways.

Expand full comment

I agree too. It’s so sad that they are so… poisoned. That is really what we need to staRt saying …

The poisoned koolaid.

Side note… my sister is in NC surrounded by fires, one of my best friends is 2 hours north stuck in her house in an ice storm and my other best friend just got on a plane. I am a “bit frozen” atm; however, I do think we all have a “Super Power”. Empathy should never be taken for granted nor lightly. That would solve everything. Sort of joking but …. There is none on the other side

Expand full comment

We the NONtRumputinists and ANTItRumputinists have been saying that and throughout our entire lives been overly compassionate to repukkkes-tRumputinists, whether in our immediate family or no,- and it turns out - to our own detriment. That needs to stop, IMHO, 'cause it's hardly working at all. Let tRumputinists learn their lessons when they're isolated with only their ilk and boycotted!! It's the only way they'll snap out of their cult!! IMHO.

Expand full comment

I am still baffled that there are so many who still think that it’s politics as usual

Expand full comment

Exactly, but that is done in only one way - the good side i.e. all NONtRumputinist and better yet ANTItRumputinist Americans on one side must defeat and disempower the evil side i.e. tRumputinists on the other side!! This is the only differentiation that now exists in America - which side of the two a person is on!! The push has come to the shove and the shit has hit the fans!! Under NONtRumputinist Americans are also all those who don't even participate in politics, at all, they're automatically NONtRumputinists who must be allied with us ANTItRumputinists!!

Expand full comment

I hear that and I get why you are saying the two names together but it is going to be really hard to convince some people that Putin really does intend to take us and

Europe over

Expand full comment

Trump, Russia, China, North Korea want to rule the entire world. They carve the world up like a pizza. Putin doesn't want USA. Trump has said some of the countries he wants (add Mexico) Russia wants Europe, China and North Korea to have their own sections.

They are dictators and want all the power and the money and the resources. They're stronger together, supporting each other. Putin and trump are openly supporting each other with the others watching and waiting. This is why trump is so blaze about Ukraine war ending bc at the right time putin will strike and just take it. They have a plan and are going along step by step, hoping nobody notices.

Expand full comment

Democrats should know that the midget terrorist refused to accept the fact that ussr HAS LOST the cold war which its monster stalin had started and that he’s obsessed with retaliation against entire Modern West, in various ways. Actually, most of republicans should know that too, unless they’re too far gone in the tRumputin’s cult.

All NONtRumputinist and better yet ANTItRumputinist Americans must persist in keep harping this message onto entire America, ‘cause it’s totally true. Like the excellent Andrea Chalupa did with Jessica Denson in a brief segment, keep showing from the terrorist putin’s media longer segments from the past and present where his regime’s zombies brag about tRump being their man!! Keep saying that tRump is kgb’s agent krasnov!!

Expand full comment

I had to re-read your comments and I did send you a Direct Message. I have a really difficult time with “geography “ and that being said… I wonder if those 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫drinking the koolaid have any concept of the fact that Russia is NOT the Soviet Union. I truly hadn’t thought about it because I am really horrific when it comes to sparial perception but he has so little power…

Until 🚀🐀 and 🐣🤬💩

Come along. I am not sure If I shared the following with you or not. I know someone said they didn’t need to know about Tesla and 🤬🐣💩. It’s the exact way it all went down… this came out the weekend after the election and I do wonder if the plan is bigger than we can comprehend ( I mean the former administrations and our generals have been way Quiet)

Should I reply to this comment of yours here or in Direct Message?

Anyhow here I can say that terrorist putin of russia really wants to megalomaniacally recreate the soviet union and more. the magats are deluded that they could partition the world with that midget terrorist from kremlin. The two evils along with the islamistic terrorists.

Expand full comment

💯 nailed it

Expand full comment

Do you think that 🤬🐣💩 really is all that cognizant ? I’m not making excuses - but a professional observation… something is so so much more wrong. I know he has Alzheimer’s but wow

Expand full comment

Of course that, also, tRumputin should have undergone the full psychiatric evaluation by the expertly psychiatrists who specialize for the criminally insane!! It's why I'm a huge fan of the World Mental Health Coalition!!

Expand full comment

To your Point … why can Mary not do a 72 hour hold? She has her Doctoral in psychology …

I mean the rest of them are really just as libel to the damage he has done and that is why we can’t just ask for impeachment. They made this big deal about President Biden’s cognitive issues … as always … “Every Accusation is an Admission.” There is no way these people cannot see how ill he is. I’m not making excuses. His dad had senile dementia. They made a big issue about President Biden’s health being the greatest lie? That coming from the side who only tell the truth out loud - those quiet truths … ugh ( it was Anthony Davis on Meidas said “He always says the quiet parts out loud”. What was that real secret he had with Mike Johnson? It wasn’t the ACA …

Expand full comment

Doctors i.e. expertly social and individual psychiatrists from World Mental Health Coalition were pretty clear about tRumputin ever since 2017 Dr. Bandy X. Lee's book The Dangerous Case of Donald J. Trump on. he not "only" proved their points but showed he was way worse than what they had thought at first. tRumputin is a sort of full-blown sociopath-psychopath. A most extreme example of unfitness for office, especially unfit to be a president of any country, especially not of USA!! It's bizarre and totally puzzling to me that American Psychiatric Association had given a greater importance to a vague "goldwater rule" making it an obstacle (read, an excuse) for not doing their ethical part of protecting the American and world's society/ies from psychopaths on highest powers. Therein is the crux of the problem.

As far as I know, Mary Trump is a psychologist, not a psychiatrist. She's the only sane Trump that we know of. Whether she's a member of World Mental Health Coalition, I'm not sure, I hope she is. Long story short, the most dangerous personality disorder is what tRumputin has, never treated so surely he's only getting worse. All other neurological disorders only compound to his dangerous condition.

Okay… just putting it out there. Did 🐣🤬💩 sell us to Putin? Nothing makes sense!😢

Expand full comment

I know right!?!?

Expand full comment

Yup-years ago!

Expand full comment

IMO, he sold HIS soul to Putin years ago - then the diehard magacult - now he's trying to claim all of us and US for Putin as well.

So on the happier side, I'm thinking how nice it would be to have a once-a-week sort of round table morning show with Ben, Don, one or both of the brothers (rotate?) and one or two guests. I really enjoy/appreciate listening to several points of view, cause and effect, frustrations, legalities, etc.. Knowing how much time they already spend doing these newscasts, I don't know how they could fit it in on a regular basis. I just remember my favorite boss from working days, telling me, "if you need something done, give it to a busy person."

Sorry about how the orange menace is treating your country. I did not vote for him. Canada is a beautiful country and I love the Canadian people. Millions of Americans are protesting in the streets and we will Make American Respectable Again. I only hope the world will be able to forgive us someday and we will have to make amends. I just want my country to be normal and sane again.

Here here!!! From your mouth to God's ears!

Expand full comment

Thanks Aprille! We know that over half of Americans despise him like we do. We have nothing against all of you who didn’t vote for this. We’re curious though if his supporters really are okay with him ANNEXING us so we no longer exist as a country? That’s nuts! My neighbours were just in Florida and more than once got yelled for being Canadian. It’s like they’re all in an angry cult. Anyway, like you, I just want your country to be sane again. Take care!

Expand full comment

His supporters are even bigger idiots than their orange cult leader and Florida is a cesspool of depravity. I live in the liberal Northeast and my kind aren’t welcome in Florida either, so tell your neighbors not to take the rudeness personally. I think the heat melts their brains. As for the annexation nonsense, it’s a delusion of grandeur from a demented old man and it will absolutely never happen. His supporters couldn’t care less about invading Canada, Greenland or Panama. They just wanted cheaper eggs and the undocumented to be deported. Don’t worry too much. We the People have second amendment rights for good reason and I don’t believe our military would ever carry out such a ridiculous order. We are not the Russians. And if they did, half this country would defect and fight with the Canadians. MAGA would be F’d. Although, I wouldn’t be opposed to Canada annexing New England where I live and maybe New York too. Similar liberal politics (except for Maine) and we have a lot of money. Province of New England has a nice ring to it. That would be one way to stick it to Felon 47. He can keep all those destitute states in the redneck south. Maybe B.C. could extend all the way to SoCal. Then, Canadian’s wouldn’t even need a passport to travel to a warmer climate in winter. Just think of it! I am kidding of course, but it would be amusing to see Canada turn the tables on these MAGA fools. I’m loving Charlie Angus BTW. He was just on the MeidasTouch with Ben Meiselas. That guy is awesome. Love his tenacity. Wish we had more like him in our Congress. Anyway, this too shall pass and know we support the Canadians in their boycotts and whatever you need to do to protect your country from the monster that has taken over mine….for now at least. This country was built on Revolution in the very state I live in. We even named our sports teams The New England Revolution and The New England Patriots. MAGA is a disgrace and they have no idea what it means to be a Patriot or an American. Peace.

I love the idea of you guys getting together, hanging out, joking around, cooking, being casual, having fun. This would be a place to tune in to unwind, have a break from the terror we live with not knowing if we will survive if the Trump regime dismantles... fill in the blank. Sounds good. I would be willing to bet Dem Congressional members or members of the legal community would also be tuning in just to take a break and have a few laughs; a kind of pro-democracy club. And if you want to do a talk show, that would be kewl, too. More formats for the uninformed to check out and get some facts, frfr, instead of regurgitated Right-wing propaganda. Go for it. 👍👍

I'm so happy you are here now!! The news is getting crazier!! How can we fight back if they're going to prosecute everyone who touches a Tesla? The attack on our courts, the CDC/DHS massacre? I'm a blind person who replies on SS, Medicare, Medicaid and I've been calling and emailing. It feels like we aren't getting anywhere!! Not the Tangerine Tyrant is going to take Greenland???!! WTF?!

What does Putin have on him? Epstein ? Diddy? I think Putin is going to take us over then take Europe we need Martial Law to stop them. This isn’t time for playing nice

Expand full comment

it’s as much Peter Thiel ( rich investor) as Putin because the oligarchs want global freedom to do what they want and not have to pay for any of the little people- corporate everything wins and the little people suffer

Expand full comment

I truly feel that Putin wants what is his only competition and if they ditch Constitution then his Tesla boy will really be able to be president. I don’t get these people who think we have until 2026

Or 2028. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️Possibke Trigger Warning

I was looking up the rates of “Self Exiting” ( sorry too much YouTube that is how they refer to it lol) and the amount of calls the hotline got on Inauguration alone rose 30%.

Don - Chris Christie said that in 2010, 🐣🤬💩 was telling him to file bankruptcy… Chris Christie said “Donald I can’t do that … I’m a state”. Nothing makes sense and we have no allies 😢😢 Pete Buttigieg 2028!

What fun. I always love it when people can find humor!

It's still amazing to me that people are still not angry at Trump. He is still ok in their eyes...it's Musk. Musk is the problem. ...when Trump put him there and keeps him there.

Who is going to point out the fact, it was Reagan who sent all of the manufacturing jobs overseas in the first place. 🤨 Everybody seems to not understand the Reich wing was the original cause, and are now trying to return the manufacturing to our shores. It's been more than 30 years, no one here knows how to do those jobs now. How do they (Reich wing) think this will work immediately? 🙄

I don't put Trump/Elon past election tampering. My God they're blatantly buying votes!

I agree with Don about the need to build an ecosystem, but I often fear that we're just talking to ourselves. How can we mainstream a Centrist perspective that's based on facts only, and reach all audiences so we can collectively course correct?

Regarding the kidnapping of student for “pro hamas activities”. She signed an op-ed critical of Israel. It’s pretty ironic to deport people for being critical of our allies. Trumpacrites

When CNN downgraded Don Lemon from being a two-hour per day major news anchor I was upset. When they put him on some jerky feel-good program I was pissed, and when he left CNN - I suspected that they had made his job simply untenable - that was it for me and CNN. Never to watch it again and a major reason why I needed to cut the cable and stream the news and read it on Meidas or the dozen or so main news outlets here and abroad that I check every single day.

A great move to open your arms to him on Meidas! Now I see you're asking if I would watch a Don Lemon morning show. I wouldn't, because I work. But what I'd really like is an evening show that streams live (Xfinity cable is cut permanently) as streaming is really a strong adjunct to live cable TV, or any TV. I'd love to see Meidas with its own streaming channel (yes, I know you're on YouTube but it really isn't the same as a dedicated channel that I could stream and turn to whenever I wanted to). Something to think about.

MTN, if you aren't aware, and want to add more pro-democracy podcasts/substacks to your life. On Offensive and Find Out are on substack. The Find Out podcast is about 6 democrat voters from various backgrounds are getting together to discuss things, attempting to break the brosphere. On Offensive is with Kris Goldsmith, a veteran who started Task Force Butler and Veterans Fighting Facism. These companies/groups are going after, in court, the nazi or wannabe nazi groups such as Patriot Front.

Since MTN is doing well and getting viewers, it is time to start lifting up all the other voices as well. I have a list of over a dozen other people Meidas can showcase. Same idea with the reporters like Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, and Joy Reid they can easily get viewers and could platform other pro-democracy voices.

Love Don Lemon! So glad he’s here. Just subscribed. I know I say, as do so many others, that they fucked around and found out but the problem is he’s still going to be president and we’ve got to survive 4 years of this if it’s survivable. We are uprising and showing strength but we need help from the inside. I’m just using all of my wishes on something happening that’s going to stop him and his little side kick, Musk. If the Signal mistake is being spun by them as a successful mission instead of the fuck up it was I just don’t know what it’s going to take.
