In this episode of Lunch with Jamie, Jamie sits down with Ben Meiselas, co-founder of Midas Touch and one of the most outspoken voices in progressive media, to talk about the state of American politics, the media’s failures, and the fight for democracy.

From Donald Trump’s health and the rise of authoritarianism, to JD Vance’s role in the MAGA movement, to the future of the Democratic Party in 2028 and beyond — nothing is off the table.

  • Trump’s health, JD Vance, and the authoritarian threat ahead
  • How Republicans use power vs. how Democrats often hesitate
  • Why mainstream media is failing — and how Midas Touch is fighting back
  • The danger of clickbait and disinformation in a polarized nation
  • What the Democratic Party must do to win in 2028 and beyond
  • The real issues voters care about: affordability, healthcare, and global conflicts
