I will keep this short.

MAGA is very triggered right now, apparently.

I was finally getting some rest last night, watching Gladiator 2 with my wife, when I got a phone call from a 714 number. I didn’t pick up, and it went to voicemail.

I checked, and a lady left me a voice message calling me “Ben Meidas” and saying she has “all the personal information” for me and “for your b*tch a** brothers.” She said she would keep releasing information about where I live, and where my family lives, to the public unless I shut down the MeidasTouch channel. In other words, extortion of the worst kind.

I’ve included the voicemail she left in this Substack post.

Shortly after leaving the voice message, she followed up with a text message to me from her phone (yes, I have her phone number unless it’s spoofed), telling me to shut down the channel or she would keep making my personal info public. She included a screenshot of my home address and the addresses of my brothers and family, including my mom and dad.

Sorry, MAGA, we are not shutting down! We aren’t going anywhere! You don’t scare us. At all!

Sadly, as you know, threats like this have become a frequent occurrence.

It’s unfortunate that this now “comes with the territory” of leading the MeidasTouch Network.

We have obviously beefed up security measures, and I will be reporting this lady to the authorities. I’ll keep you posted.

Anyway, I look forward to writing my Sunday morning coffee post tomorrow and having coffee with you, as always, on Sunday.

I want to make this network so big and impactful that it forever changes the media for the better and saves democracy.

These threats don’t scare me.

I use them as fuel to keep growing and working harder.

If you aren’t already a paid subscriber to this Substack, please become one now if you can. Let’s make history together and keep growing with zero outside investors!

See you soon for coffee.
