Joe Biden, IMO, was a wonderful President. He presided over a wildly successful 4 year term. Could he have done more? Yes, I think we can all agree he should have. But he pulled us out of the Covid pandemic and a financial disaster Trump left him. But Joe’s political style has shown us all we don’t live in those times anymore. It’s time for the next generation of leaders. People who aren’t beholden to the current paid-off political structure. I think you owe it to your listeners to give exposure to young candidates who don’t take money from PACs. Grassroots candidates who aren’t afraid to confront the political status quo. I have appealed to you to interview Graham Platner who’s running to unseat Susan Collins in Maine. His campaign is really catching fire! He will be one of the most powerful voices of the new generation of Progressive Democratic politicians.

Excellent discussion & excellent guest Emily Galvin Almanza!

Jared Yates Sexton aside, the guests are disheartening lately. The podcast host, Mr. Davis offers a clear and properly frank assessment of the state of America and its institutions and values, but the many guests like Emily Almanza seem underwhelmed by the dangers our country faces. I just can’t listen anymore.

The guy in Minneapolis was a veteran of the force, not a simple couch commando. Denigrating each other doesn’t solve our real problems facing the society.

Well, per usual, Jared Yates Sexton has hit it out of the park once again. “The truth sets us free” (John 8.32); it need not make us happy. “The truth serves only a world that lives by it.” (Helen Hayes, First Lady of the American Theatre, as the Dowager Empress in Anatole Litvak’s enduring classic, Anastasia.) For us constitutional democracy adherents, the anointing on Sexton’s life continues to flow unabated. Thank you, my Brother, for continuing to set your face like a flint toward that which is ethical (Isaiah 50.7c), for continuing to remain humble, and for continuing to seek after and speak the truth since your words will not return void (Isaiah 55.11). I have shared this video with my most beloved family. We have chosen to walk together all our lives in covenant community of decency and honor. Pastor Roberts Houston

Your interview with Jared Yates Sexton was one of the very best I’ve ever listened to! We are in very troubling times! Your conversation about China’s growth into a world power reminded me of the mad rush to China around 2000. I managed 2 divisions of an international tech company at the time. I asked our American VP of Asia what would happen in 25 yrs when the West had built China’s economy. His stunned look told me he hadn’t even thought about it. His reply that “they’ll be grateful” was so ridiculous that I laughed. And now, here we are…I swear none of the tech world ever thought about the dangers. Just the money.🤬🤬

Fantastic pod. So much better than MSM. Deep dives, smart, relevant. Thanks for all of your hard work Mr. Davis.

Anthony always brings clarity and depth of info to every topic he explores with his great guests!

I love Anthony! His voice is a breath of fresh air. I love how he brings up what is actually happening and brings on other hosts that know what they are talking about.

Anthony Davis is a first rate analyst.

Grateful for all the MeidasTouch shows! Timely and truthful.

Anthony Davis is one of the best podcasters on this team. I love his diverse insights and unfiltered facts he provides to the world. This and “unfiltered” on Wednesdays are my favorite shows.

Really like this informative podcast, however, the hosts too often fall into silly, inappropriate laughter. I understand that they want to lighten-up the seriousness of the subject matter but it seems too distracting. Many people might believe it’s unprofessional and stop listening to their thought provoking discussions.

This is a vital podcast, and I sincerely hope that it reaches an audience beyond those of us who are in agreement about trump’s mental unfitness. As a trauma therapist in private practice, I have greatly appreciated Dr. Bandy Lee’s insights. If she is on future episodes, I was wondering if she could address the mental characteristics of those who succumb to trump contagion and right-wing propaganda. For instance, my husband and I both grew up in families who have unfortunately been “converted” by Fox News, etc, however, we are clearly the opposite. I am sure there has been something written about this somewhere, but I was curious as to her perspective. Is it simply a matter of age, geography, sex, etc, or is it something more? I have highly-educated neighbors who believe the election was stolen, so I don’t believe that education is solid determinant either. Thank you so much and be well:)

Thank you Anthony for your continued great reporting in educating us about tRUMP contagion- I’m so sick of him - I long for the day when we can go forward 🦋

All Americans should listen to the 2024/8/25 episode in which Dr. Bandy Lee discusses Trump’s mental unfitness for any job. To compensate for his lifelong lack of empathy, like Hitler, Trump has developed a skill to manipulate crowds, inciting resentment and violence. This makes him a danger to society.

My only criticism of today’s analysis (9/8/24) is that the hosts keep identifying the problem as “Russia,“ when the truth is that loyalty to particular nation-states is quaint and irrelevant to the billionaire class. When corporations became multinational, by definition, they lost their national identity. Amazon, for example, is a storefront for cheap, low-wage-labor-produced merchandise, whether it is made in China, Texas, or Bangladesh. Fox News is not a mouthpiece for the Republican party, per se, but for the international oligarchical regime that has taken over the U.S. Republican Party. Likewise, Russian propaganda is not designed to benefit “Russia,” but rather the oligarchs who spend most of their time on the beaches of Europe. They might hire Russian programmers, or they might hire programmers from Myanmar, it’s all the same to them. Along those lines, I am curious to know what you think about Trump TWICE suggesting that he might move to Venezuela. He loves strong dictators, balmy weather, and beautiful women, so it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he has developed a back channel to flee there when the need arises.

Anthony Davis is an excellent source of information.

I am afraid that Trump could win the electoral college vote, too many good candidates won the popular vote but did not win the election. Thank you for your shows!

This was another excellent conversation. Miles is one of the best, if not the best, “explainer” out there. Thank you for doing this, Anthony.

What a intelligent fact factory minus the hyperbole, Brilliantly done!

Always a very good podcast.

Critically important topics for the times we are in.

I love the objective analysis of Dr Bandy Lee. Unfortunately in America, denial of mental health issues and their causes is embedded in mainstream culture. Please keep talking about it to ‘wake them up.’ Love Anthony as sole host too!!

Love your show. I highly recommend we STOP saying “threat to DEMOCRACY” & instead say “threat to constitution” or to “the republic”. A LOT of people directly associate ‘democracy’ with the Democratic Party. I know it’s hard to believe but it’s very, very true. Iowa is such an example. When someone says “threat to democracy”…a lot of ppl think that means the democrats!!!

Remarkable in depth analysis of current events, this is a powerful listen when I have the time while driving or doing chores, etc! So good Anthony, thank you!

Excellent and informative show always worth the time to watch. Thank you.

I stumbled on your show by accident. I’m overwhelmed with frustration at the American love affair with Trump. People who claim to be devoutly Christian but don’t care that Trump boasted about sexually assaulting women. I love your perspective. It’s great that you were born and raised in the UK where religious zealotry is not tolerated. These days I watch American tv and half of the program is pressuring us embrace Jesus. Very tiresome. What does that have to with politics?

Anthony Davis, in the latest episode, just said, “Maybe we should all join No Labels.” No Labels is a far-right-funded party trying to run Joe Manchin under the guise of “centrism”, in order to syphon off votes from Biden in 2024. Davis saying what he did, without explaining what No Labels is, is not just the height of irresponsibility, it’s incredibly stupid. I doubt he even knows that No Labels is funded by far right Republicans, because he’s a bloviator who apparently prefers listening to own voice to thinking.

Fabulous interview with Anthony Amanatuick. All of the interviews are really interesting. I look forward to this podcast every week.

AD is the best interviewer in the business bar none. His speaking style and mastery of the English language make listening so enjoyable, I often listen twice. I also appreciate his perspective on our current political and social problems. To put it mildly.

I enjoy the wise and compassionate reasoning of the interviewer with his guest. A style I can learn from and enjoy listening to. Thank you!

Tremendous discussion on this Patreon kickoff episode. Thank you. I appreciated the discussion of Jimmy Carter, his ups and downs, and his valuable contributions to our Country. He was/is a man of honor, and America chewed him up and spit him out. Anthony, what you’re witnessing is the loss of American honor and, yes, you should feel the discomfort. Isn’t it a pity? Reread and rewatch THE LOUDEST VOICE IN THE ROOM to understand Fox outrage TV entertainment. I’ve never managed more than 10 minutes of that c**p because I simply want to gouge my eyes out. The 10 minutes I did watch was Yawn H. calling for the immediate firing of the US attorneys because THIS IS WAR. He was literally hollering at the audience. And sure enough TFG fired the attys en masse the next day.

We all have to take a stand against the Trump disgusting monster. I am embarrassed to think what other countries think of us . We are better than this as long as we all come together we can overcome

I have enjoyed many of the guests of this podcast but some of the host’s way of using “us vs them” language is hard to listen to.

Anthony Davis is an interviewer who knows when to just let the guest speak and when to move things along. Love his interviews.

Filipkowski was the so brilliant in his take on Trump, the media, and America. I listened twice. I hope many Democrats were listening. He should be invited to speak on many other podcasts. Great great show!

Tonight’s interview was the BEST!

Anthony has a great relatable perspective & his style of interviewing really brings candor to his guests.

Thank you for this refreshingly rational discussion/debate.

I like your analysis and your interview style, and you have great guests. I’d like it even more if you could set your volume level equal to your guest. As I listen on my headset to #41 today, I’d crank up the volume to hear you, and then the guest would blast in my ear… turn down the volume… and you come on and I can’t hear you… up and down the entire episode. Thanks for a great series.

Well that’s it. If you’re going to bring on Joe Walsh and let him spout the Republican/MAGA “but we’ve got the First amendment … Second amendment” blather without any pushback or correction then I’m going to avail myself of my right to unsubscribe.

Episode 36 was intense—great job Anthony

But why are you giving time and air to this raving lunatic lying OAN manchild?

Anthony Davis and his guest are extremely informative about what is going on in the US. He brings thoughtful conversations and asks great questions. I learn so much from this podcast. And I love Anthony’s accent.

Thank you for bringing on guest that speak truth.

It is very refreshing to have serious, provocative discussions with smart engaging guests. Love it!

Anthony Davis is informative, great guests, educational and engaging discussion. Would also recommend 5 Minute News that he hosts daily which breaks down the KEY daily happenings. Lastly, recommend listening to Meidas Touch pods (any of them are ussful). Kremlin Files gives us a view of across the pond/national security type, LegalAF is EXCELLENT Legal analysis discussion. etc etc...

fasinating guests

Great weekend show
