I will be brief. Trump supporters have been calling for the Trump regime to arrest me and charge me with sedition. They want me gone and they want to shut down MeidasTouch. Here is an example of some of the messages I’ve received over the past 24 hours.
Our coverage of Trump’s ICE raids and his attack on Los Angeles has received 20 million views on YouTube in the past 48 hours. This beats all cable news networks. I also personally attended and participated in the protests against the ICE raids in Pasadena, California. I took photos of the AC Marriott where the ICE raid was taking place and posted them on social media as I protested in front of the hotel with others.
Trump supporters have responded to my coverage by calling on Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi to arrest me and charge me with sedition. It’s not just me. MeidasTouch star anchor Aaron Parnas, who also runs his own media company, has also been relentlessly attacked by MAGA over the past 48 hours as they’ve demanded he be arrested.
Trump is escalating things quickly. To me, it’s not a sign of strength. It’s a sign he is desperate and weak. His dictator military parade is on June 14, and he wants to shut down all dissent before the dictator parade.
This is not a drill or something adjacent to authoritarianism. America is living under a dictatorship as I write this. It’s an idiotic one, for sure, but it’s still a dangerous dictatorship.
I want to let you know that MeidasTouch will never back down. We will never hold back. We will never mince words. We will call out the authoritarian regime. We will not run away. We will not cower.
Until the regime rips the microphone from my hand, I will not stop reporting the truth. Our reporters at the MeidasTouch Network are all committed to doing the same.
This is an existential fight, and we need your help.
We expect the attacks against the MeidasTouch Network will continue to accelerate. I don’t know what the regime will do to me and my brothers.
We need to increase our reach from 20 million views every 48 hours to 40 million views. We need to increase our subscriber count to 10 million. These are realistic goals if we set our minds to it. The bigger our reach, the more people are getting truthful reporting.

Ben, you and the brothers are brilliant and brave, and you have so many of us behind you, and so many lawyers, these people are so evil
America has fallen. Military parades in the capital, citizens kidnapped off the streets.
