I Won’t Apologize for Sending a Strong Message Back…
By Ben Meiselas
I won’t say I am sorry for how I responded to Trump and Fox. I simply called them what they are: vile pieces of trash. I said I have zero respect for Donald Trump regardless of the fact that he occupies the Oval Office. That is true and it’s how I feel. I said he is covering up a pedo sex trafficking ring. That is what he’s doing with Epstein. Trump is a criminal. He is a felon. He is a sexual abuser. He is a fraud. Fox is a network that defames just as they did with Meidas all week and Gavin Newsom all week.
Just because I run this network doesn’t mean I want to mingle with corporate news stooges and behave like them. I want to be the opposite of them. This network is built to be the antithesis of corrosive cable news. When I get heated and call Trump and Fox hosts fascist scum, I am simply reflecting my opinion. If this means I lose sponsors or lose revenue or I can’t land interviews, I truly don’t give a crap.
I am getting a little heated writing this because I am pissed at the amount of messages I am getting from weak people telling me I’m going too far. In this moment there is good versus evil and if you remain silent you enable the evil. Never apologize for trying to destroy evil.
It does seem that Fox attacks us most when we have the momentum. This week feels like we all came out swinging and shellacked the Trump regime. Our coverage was relentless. We beat Fox in the latest charts for digital views and engagement, which has pissed Rupert Murdoch off so much since he spent the whole week having his hosts try to destroy us. When you attack “the Meiselas boys,” as you call us Rupert, we strike back and beat the Murdoch clan. It’s that simple.
The momentum has been exactly what I thought was needed once summer ends. We need to take this passion through the end of the year and beyond. Have you subscribed yet to this Substack?

Receipts beat rage. Keep swingin baby.
Ben, appreciate “Never apologize for trying to destroy evil.” Here’s the thing : passion only grows power when it stays handcuffed to evidence, and you’ve got clean exhibits.
Dominion’s $787.5 million settlement showed the Murdoch machine platformed lies on purpose. Because discovery proved Fox hosts and executives knew claims were false while airing them anyway. The Epstein record has a core betrayal too: the 2008 non-prosecution deal brokered by Alex Acosta, later made Trump’s labor secretary in charge of trafficking enforcement. Because rewarding the architect of a wrist-slap told every survivor the system protects friends first.
If this lands, recommend this post, restack with tonight’s stream time, and drop one timestamped receipt in the comments your audience can deploy. Turn on notifications before the next stream. For compact receipts that pair with this fight, I keep a running file at www.xplisset.com. No flinching. No euphemisms. Keep the pressure on where the facts are.
It is definitely good vs evil and anyone who can’t understand the dire moment we’re in just needs to step aside. MAGA too believes this is a good vs evil scenario, them (Orchs) being the good guys. Obama was correct about the right clutching their guns and Bibles to the bitter end as they mean to stifle our first amendment rights with their second amendment rights. Make no mistake, their goal is for a white male Christian ethnostate so losing is not an option. We need to throw everything we have into this fight for our freedom, our values.
