I had to share this with you right away. Fox News hosts are banging their heads against the walls right now as the MeidasTouch Network is cleaning their clock. Well, to be clear, they aren’t literally banging their heads on the walls. But I hear Jesse Watters almost punched the wall as he was so pissed that the MeidasTouch Network gets more digital views than he and the other Fox hosts get.
My sources at Fox do not have access to the Signal chat with Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, Ingraham, and some Fox bigwigs, but from what they’ve been told, I hear the MeidasTouch Network is a major topic of conversation—and they continuously complain about us and our growing size at meetings and lunches.
Jesse Watters’ mom is a big MeidasTouch fan and a great person, so I know it’s extra personal for Jesse. She previously warned Jesse about being the mouthpiece for Trump’s authoritarian regime.
The latest digital views charts show that MeidasTouch gets 1.6 million more daily views than Fox News and 240k more “likes” a day than they get.
From what I’ve been told, Fox News management is constantly getting berated by Rupert Murdoch—that they have “unlimited funds and you’re getting your ass kicked by the Meidas boys.” This usually leads the Fox executives to take their anger and aggression out on their digital team and assistants.
I know some large Fox shareholders and at least one Board Member have raised the issue: why have “so much damn money, and can’t keep up” with the MeidasTouch Network?
I must admit, I do find some humor in seeing the Fox digital team try all sorts of tricks to get more views than us by flooding their YouTube with content. We still beat Fox and put out about 1/4 the amount of videos on YouTube as they do. I guess it’s just quality over quantity, Fox. It’s about the truth and facts. (Please remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on audio on Apple Podcasts and Spotify).
The thing about Fox is that their audience is built on fear and hate. Their audience is kept in the manufactured rage echo chamber, where demonizing migrants, “the woke,” and gay people are cycled with a hypnotic frenzy throughout the day. Paralyzing people with fear necessarily has its limits, as it entraps its prey in virtual rage algorithms, transfixed and glued to television sets.
Real and lasting movements of change are not built on hate. They are based on love and the desire to burst out of our bubbles to make real connections with others to find common purpose. That is the magic of the most formative movements of generational change. I feel we are in one of those moments right now, where the hate-fueled MAGA movement and its regime propaganda—Fox—have shocked the consciousness of our country and the world. A resistance and opposition has formed with a force whose full potential is seismic and that cannot be stopped. We are honored that the MeidasTouch Network can play a role as a catalyzing agent to bring people together and fight for hope, joy, freedom, love, and democracy.
The Fox hate brigade can throw their tantrums at Meidas. The Fox board members can cry about having billions of dollars and losing to us in views. The Fox hosts can yell at their team members and rant and rave like lunatics. Whatever. They won’t be able to stop what has already been unleashed and what will grow and grow and grow.
The MeidasTouch Network grows because we are a movement of millions of people with a common purpose and common goals to move us forward and not hold us back. I look forward to many more days of Fox whining and Meidas thriving.
Let’s keep it up, Meidas Mighty.

Good Morning Ben,
Watched the Meidastouch brothers broadcast this morning and I was fired up. Your rants about these anti Americans running our government is exactly the way I feel. These losers are traitors. Due Process is the most important part of our democracy. They are trying to eliminate our rights. The recent deportations of the almost 300 to El Salvador without due process is a violation of our constitution is the Canary in the Coal Mine. Trump and his billionaires prove that money can’t buy happiness.
Never prouder to be a member of the Meidas Mighty!
