Steven Crowder called out "Big Conservative Media" for sheisty negotiating contracts, but the company he accused says that wasn't the full picture. So what is actually happening? Who's in the right and who's in the wrong, or are they both wrong/right? Also, Greta Thunberg fakes her own arrest and so much more!

Well, it seems that Daily Wire has responded to Stephen Crowder.
We were all asking the question: What was going on with this video that Stephen posted the other day?
We'll bring you up to date with that, saying that conservative media was trying to take advantage of individuals, try to ruin their lives, and essentially just running and grabbing cash instead of actually fighting for the values that they claim to support.
Well, everybody had their ideas, they thought who it could be.
But then, in a bizarre turn of events, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boring puts out a 52-minute video with one of the strangest and most antiquated responses line by line.
Today's video, we're going to be reacting to some of that, and we're going to be talking about the bigger picture of what's going on with conservative media.
As somebody who's worked in conservative media for a lot of my adult life and worked with these people and in these companies and around many of the individuals that are listed here, I can say none of them are bad people.
Most of them are just trying to do their best.
But the schisms and the division is quite strange.
People are taking sides.
And what does this mean for the future of our entire movement and the people that are fighting to change this country?
Well, we're going to react to that live here on this episode of Nightly Offensive.
It is approximately 10:15 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States.
Let's have an epic live stream.
Welcome back to another installment of Nightly Offensive, the Monday, Wednesday, Friday live streamer.
We're a little bit late today, but we still have the amazing sound effects.
We can turn those down.
Amazing.
I know those are fantastic.
I am joined in the studio by the lovely, by the beautiful Kez Queen Fetus.
Yes, I'm here to talk about some big issues today.
And it's all because I'm an expert on this, and I'm just really happy to give my expert opinion.
Well, some good news.
If you guys have been around this for a while, a couple updates that are going on here.
Number one, I can bring up videos, which is always cool.
I can also bring up chat.
So many of you guys want to know exactly what's going on.
And I officially can bring up the chat right here.
So that's pretty awesome.
I also have the Rumble chat as well, which I'm bringing up at all times.
And I can also bring up the chat there on the locals.
Remember that we are member supported at ElijahSchaefer.locals.com.
Make sure you click, you join the community because we have a great discussion today.
And do not forget that Kez has her own buttons as well.
At any point in the live stream, she can bring herself up.
I meant the live chat.
There you go.
We are so excited to be back, guys.
We are so back and we are so ready to talk about this.
We need to jump into all of this.
Don't forget that you can leave super chats in locals and on Rumble, but not on YouTube because we're completely demonetized.
So for all the newbies here who have no idea what's actually going on, we need to confront this because I think you're one of those people.
I genuinely don't think you have any clue on what's happening here.
So we got to give a little bit of a background.
Do you know what's going on with the Steven Crowder drama?
I have absolutely no idea.
I haven't been following it.
I don't know what's going on.
What I've been seeing on social media is Greta is what I've been seeing.
So it's a little Greta funberg.
Right, which we will get into that.
So, okay, so basically there was this, there was this about six, seven months ago, Steven Crowder was trying to figure out what he was going to do next.
Okay, trying to figure out where he was going to go, what was going to be the next stage in his journey.
And he was sort of shopping around, figuring out where was he going to stay.
Of course, at that time, him and I both worked for Blaze TV, which is a conglomerate network.
There's only several networks that actually exist for conservative media.
It's basically Blaze TV, Daily Wire, Fox News.
And then there's also some alternatives, right?
There's nonprofits like PragerU and Turning Point USA.
And then there's also a – is the chat already causing problems?
Sorry, I'm taking off the screen.
There's nonprofits.
And then there's, of course, publications like Breitbart, like Rebel, et cetera, that are more news publications.
But your options are pretty limited.
You're either independent like this show, or you work for a network.
And there's not really two options.
I don't know if you know about that, but there's not really two options.
And before we even take any sides here and get upset or get mad at anybody for what's going on, I'd like to say this.
The fact is that every single person who was mentioned by Steven or not mentioned by Steven, every single person that was in Daily Wires video or not mentioned Daily Wires video, I've either met these people personally, had meals with them.
either know them very well or have just worked alongside them directly.
And so I don't, I'm not going to come out of any angle of like being some shill for conservative media because it definitely has its drawbacks.
But I'm also not going to just attack Daily Wire or attack anybody just because it's fun.
Because honestly, these people enable a lot of right-wingers to live life.
They actually provide income.
And I want the show to always be as unbiased as possible in terms of not just taking a side.
People are always like, oh, why don't you just side more with Charlie Kirk?
Or why don't you side more with Nick Fuentes?
It's like, well, because I'm not like Charlie Kirk and I'm not like Nick Fuentes.
And I respect both of them.
And I think they have very interesting strengths, weaknesses, and general approaches.
But we're just going to go Elijah Schaefer.
We're going to go slightly offensive backer.
And I think everyone, the temptation in these moments is to get divided and everybody to try to choose a side and just be like, oh, I want to, I back Steven Crowder or I back Daily Wire.
But I think if we don't look at it more intricately and look at the bigger picture and what this is communicating to us, then I think we're going to miss a lot of what's going on.
And so, you know, so Steven Crowder left.
He announced that he left Blaze.
It was complicated.
Leaving networks never is not from Fox News to MSNBC to everything.
Leaving any job is complicated.
You leave a tax job.
It's probably complicated.
But he kind of was cryptic.
He was putting out weird messages saying like, we're going to tell you tomorrow.
He was making claims that he's not allowed to keep his mug club subscribers.
And it was all just kind of weird for a while.
Have you, you've met Steven before?
I don't, maybe, I don't know.
You never met him?
I met a lot of people.
I just, I don't know.
I know who Steven Crowder is, but I can't, I just, it's not like a memory that I, I don't have anything against him, but it's not like I like really cherish that memory.
I don't know.
I've never seen a full episode of Steven Crowder's show, but I've been in the studio during a full taping and like live.
Like I've sat down and watched him record live, but I've never done that.
I've never watched.
I've never seen any question this, the ones he goes on the street says, change my mind episodes.
I watch all of those ones.
I do really like those ones.
Right.
Those are really good.
He's extremely talented.
So here's what he did.
So obviously, you guys, if you want to know this, we don't have a bunch of clips cut out.
We are going to look at all the clips of the Daily Wire stuff, but I have to give this background to you on what's going on before we watch all the timestamps because it's just weird what's going on.
And it's weirder for me, I feel like, than a lot of people, simply because, like I mentioned, because of knowing these people, they're not just internet personalities.
It's like, you know, when it's like Jeremy Boring, he's mentioning Tyler Cardin, who's a great guy, and then he's mentioning Steven Crowder, who's a great guy, and you start hearing people that you know to be good people that are honest, that just try to do their best.
We're all flawed.
It's like a hard thing to really take sides because you realize that I don't want to, I don't want to slap right.
I don't want to punch right.
I'm not into that anymore.
And I'm not petty against right-wing people because I just don't hold on to grudges and I don't do that kind of stuff.
And I don't think that's what's going on here.
So anybody who's got hate in their heart that's just like, yeah, Jew wire or whatever, it's like, okay, save that shit.
Well, I don't care.
And then anyone who's just like, you know, oh, Staley Wires knows what they're doing and Steven Crowder's just jealous.
Like, fuck you too.
You know, you guys are all retarded.
You're gay and retarded and you're fake.
And why don't you actually be a real person for a moment and realize the reason why we ought to talk about this is because Steven Crowder made some serious accusations against an unknown de facto group.
There is a group, there's certain media groups that are run by certain types of people that love litigation and contract.
Kanye West talked about that at one point in his life, but he got canceled for it.
So we'll stay off that for the remainder of this conversation.
Who is they?
Who is they?
Who is they, baby?
I can't answer that question.
Well, we get into today's story.
So the CEO of Daily Wire, I, again, I don't punch right.
I don't really give a damn what your personal opinion is of Jeremy Boring.
His last name is Boring.
That can say a lot about the content.
But I also know, the matter of fact, he's a human being.
He's running a great operation.
Does Daily Wire have massive drawbacks?
110%.
They do.
I mean, like I've talked about on here before, that they don't, you know, during the pandemic, they sort of pushed their people to not talk about certain things to avoid demonetization.
They really toe on a business line, like their business strategy.
If you're upfront about it, then there's nothing wrong with that.
You guys have to realize they're about making money first and foremost.
And they're not really about, like, if something gets in the way of them making money, they don't really fight it.
So they're not, you're not going to get unadulterated, unfiltered content.
But because they choose, on the flip side, they choose to not really hit on harsh issues, warn you about vaccines, call you a dope for not getting the vaccine, and they fuck up sometimes.
They also get the benefit of massive reach.
So it's like they get 90% right, 10% wrong.
Can we really call the whole organization evil like some people do?
Or they all suck or something just because they get 10% wrong.
No.
Wouldn't you drink a glass of water if it had 10% poison in it?
Yes.
Okay.
So that's my point.
Was that a trick question?
Can I just say this really quick?
Hold on.
So, so, but no, but I'm saying this honestly.
Because one, this is a more heady live stream, a little bit different than what we normally do.
But I do want to bring this up.
It's like a good example of somebody that I respect, an old colleague of mine, maybe still consider him a colleague.
You know, we follow each other on social media, which is the 2023 equivalent of being friends, is like Matt Walsh.
Matt Walsh has made incredible films through Daily Wire, like What is a Woman?
It created a social conversation.
Did Matt Walsh get the pandemic wrong?
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, if you look at his tweets from 2020, he was literally like accusing people of like killing their grandmas essentially and stuff.
It was like borderline hysteria.
Did he admit that he got certain things wrong?
From my understanding, yes.
Did he push and tell everyone they were retarded for not getting the vaccine?
No.
And do we all get things wrong sometimes?
Yeah.
So it's like, I'm not going to sit here and like, I would never attack Matt Walsh because I think he's a very positive contributor.
He's very smart, very wise.
He's much better at making content than I am.
He's got a better team, better show, everything.
So it's like, no, I'm not going to come and tear people down.
And why would I?
For a guy that's doing so well for himself and contributes so much to society, he got the COVID, you know, initially wrong.
Fine, okay.
He's shaped up.
I give Ben shit just because his advice killed people, but that's different.
Because that's just different.
But also, that doesn't mean the whole network.
What are you going to say Brett Cooper's bad?
Michael Knowles, Andrew Clavin?
Are we really going to come and discount an entire group of people just because some people on the network got a few things wrong?
I think that's kind of intellectually dishonest.
That's why I never tell people, don't listen to Daily Wire.
Don't follow Daily Wire.
Because the reality is that if you're new to politics or you're wanting to be a part of it, it's going to be a very intellectually engaging community.
And I feel like you're not paying attention to shit in this entire thing.
I'm waiting for you to explain to me what's going on.
I'm trying to have a conversation with you.
And you're just looking at the locals people are distracting you.
Yeah, well, they're actually saying things that make sense to me in my mind.
So I want to.
Wait, can I show you this one thing that they posted?
Yeah.
They're up on the screen right now.
Yeah, look here on mine.
Elijah after he talks about them.
So, yeah.
Good times, good times.
All right.
So what I'm going to explain to you.
No, I'm trying to explain it to you.
This is the explanation is retrospectively speaking.
What I'm saying is that I understand what you're saying.
That you've got good.
Is this the way?
Did you practice this with dyslexia in class?
So what you're saying is, who doesn't love a yellow school bus?
There's, I, from, look.
Look, there's all kinds of companies and organizations and industries.
And at the end of the day, whether you're the medical industry or the media industry, it's an industry and you have to make money.
And so whoever it is, Fox News, Daily Wire, whatever, at the end of the day, they have to make money.
That's how they pay people and whatever.
And for the most part, I think everyone can really get behind a lot of the things that they say and a lot of the hosts that they have.
And I think you and I would both probably agree with a ton of the stuff that they come out and talk about and say and share a lot of values and stuff.
But there are some things that you disagree with, which is pretty much you just, I think that's like normal and totally fine.
Right.
And so now we get to the story of Stephen.
What did Stephen do?
So the breakdown of this is that Stephen Crowder went ahead and brought a contract, which I immediately knew was from Daily Wire.
Flawed Zilla actually was like, I wonder who this contract is from.
And shout out to Flawed.
You can follow him.
And then I just like DM'd him.
I'm like, DW.
And he's like, yeah, I was thinking that too.
Because, like I said, there are certain types of people that are extremely litigious.
And I actually want to bring this up because one of the things that I don't like from people to do is they assume that because, you know, maybe you had a bad experience with someone or something or you go from somewhere that you're going to be net negative.
Let me tell you something very positive here.
I knew this was not about Blaze TV, like 100%, because Blaze TV's contracts are not as litigious or as long or hold any of those things.
And Steven Crowder was working for Blaze.
So people that came out immediately and were like, this is Blaze TV.
They're trying to screw him.
Like, you were reaching because if that was true, then someone like myself would have just told you guys.
That was the reality.
But the truth is, is even those contracts are not that long.
Now, here's the problem where we start.
What Stephen was saying is he's frustrated because when he, allegedly, I have to be very careful with saying this, not about any other reason than just I haven't seen the documents.
This is just all that's come out.
Apparently, apparently, so let's start at the very basis of where the problem is.
It seems that Stephen had Mug Club, which is how he funded his show.
Now, I find it so funny that Stephen's like, I only want one ad in a show.
I want it to be funded by the people.
So let me fund it.
I don't want to put more ads.
I don't want to be an ad-centric show, which is totally respectable.
And I love that.
And then, of course, I have ads in my show and everyone suddenly started attacking.
We're like, duh, this show sucks.
You have ads.
I'm like, well, we're demonetized.
And I love to hear complaints from people who don't support on locals, which you can support on locals at elijaschaf.locals.com.
They don't support.
We've only been independent for four months.
And I would love to never have an ad in the show again.
I'd love to just totally be member supported.
Unfortunately, we don't have hundreds of thousands of supporters.
Spaghetti Edwards said it's a really great time for a gold co-ad right now.
Get your gold, co.
Invest in gold and silver.
No, it's true, but it is how we fund the show.
And one of the most important parts about this that I want to bring up is that when he's leaving Blaze TV, allegedly, they're not letting him keep his mug club members because technically he was working for Blaze.
So, you know, when you sign up for Mug Club, it actually became a Blaze TV subscription and you don't get to keep that email list.
Now, I can attest to that, that when I left the company, when you leave any company, you don't get to keep any of the information.
Like I built up a massive email list with a lot of members and people that signed up with my promo code and it was a bunch of members.
You don't get access to any of your subscribers or followers when you leave.
I can say that from experience.
You just don't, you don't get that.
And I know he was mad.
He was really mad because let's say me, I have maybe hundreds, thousands of subscribers.
I mean, I don't know.
They never tell you.
But you build up this huge list for your channel of all these people that paid supporters.
And then when you leave, you have no idea who was supporting you at all.
You don't get to keep the information and you're just kind of left to start from zero from scratch.
And for me, it's like, okay, if it's a few thousand people, it could have been 10,000.
I have no idea.
It could have been a few hundred.
I'm saying for me, I could be mad, but I'm sure I know why Steven's more like upset because that's probably hundreds of thousands of people at least.
Maybe 100,000 more paid subscribers that now he probably doesn't have access to.
It could be wrong.
And if I'm wrong, that's fine.
I just, that's what I've, that's what I'm saying could be happening here.
So he's pissed because he's probably going to have to restart from zero.
Like start from the ground up.
Maybe.
And maybe Blaze is really cool and actually gave him a list.
I have no idea.
I don't really care.
It's not my life.
All I'm saying is he did release an initial, like that initial video on Twitter.
That's what I'm referring to, where he was just kind of like, I don't get to keep my info, sign up at Mug Club forever.
And he was mad.
And I can feel that resentment because as a content creator, it sucks when you, for three, four, five, six years, you're with a company and you build up that base.
And then these people supported because of you.
You don't get to keep that information.
I feel like ever since he came out and said that, it's sort of put a downhill spiral on terms of like, he even said in his video, he hasn't been happy for a while.
And as a man, like when you don't have access to where you can make money, I think it makes you unhappy because one of the best things of a man is being a provider.
So he seemed really depressed, really discouraged.
And I like Steven a lot personally as a person.
He's a very nice guy.
His team is incredible and I really like them.
And I also love Tyler Cardin, the CEO of Blaze.
Incredible guy.
Love him.
He is a mastermind.
And so it's, you know, it's hard when there's disagreements between people you both appreciate and you love and to see there be that problem.
You keep looking at your crotch and smiling.
I'm not even looking.
If I was looking at my crotch and smiling, it would have to be like this.
Okay.
So just to make that clear to everyone.
And also, I'm really trying hard to focus on you and to listen to what you're saying.
So now, so the point is, is that Steven Crowder initially released a video saying that he's trying to leave Blaze.
He felt a little bit frustrated because he wasn't going to be able to, by the sounds of it, have access to his base that he built up.
And now I'm assuming that's true because that's what happened to me.
So I'm assuming that that happened to him too.
It seems to happen to everybody.
So I'm saying he's not exclusive.
Like I'm putting this out, meaning they didn't just try to screw him over, right?
It's not like, oh, Steven, fuck you.
We're not going to give you your thing.
It's like you leave a company.
You can't contract how it works.
You don't get access to your base.
You have to restart.
Right.
So now Steven released a video talking about a contract by an unnamed media company.
He didn't name the media company.
No, but it was long contracts, very detailed, a little bit shysty, and had the scent of something on it.
Well, like, it's like Daily Why just came out and said it was them, right?
Well, the point we already knew this because Jordan Peterson tweeted about it and was like, oh, he's exposing media, conservative media.
And then his tweet got deleted and it was like, Jordan.
Oh, Jordan maybe didn't know?
Yeah, I'm sure he didn't.
He didn't know because I'm sure he's just older and he probably doesn't even handle his own contract because he probably has a team that does it for him.
But I found it to be funny because I also know, I know the position Steven's in.
I know Steven wants, I know Steven wants a lot of money.
I know that.
I know he deserves a lot of money.
And I liked one comment that I said that said, Boar, rich people fighting over how much money they should get.
Something next.
Okay.
So in as few words as possible, in as simple language as possible, explain to me what happened.
Steven released a contract exposing media companies.
And now the Daily Wire feels personally attacked.
Yeah, so I actually have a video that explains explains the well basically explains everything as clear as I can explain it.
And essentially, this was the explanation that I can give you.
I don't know.
An ad break.
Yeah, ad break.
I did want to tell you guys about this actually before we jump into this.
So we have our sponsors continuing on this continuation of the show.

It's called Undertak.

Undertack.com slash or just undertack.com, promo code offensive20.
All right, let's check this out.
So basically, so that's where we're at.
I was going to show you a video.
It was really funny.
It was, I guess I can't, can I download it real fast?
It's actually true.
It's not even like a joke.
Like, it's actually what happened.
It actually explains everything.
Do you want to see it?
Yeah, because I, yeah.
Do you want to see it?
I want to see a video that can just be a quick little clip that'll just summarize it really quickly to help me to understand what the situation is happening.
Okay, so let's go ahead and let's put that up.
So this is basically a very small explanation of what has been going on and what is happening.
And I don't want to make a, I don't want to make a joke of it.
I don't want you to laugh at it.
But this was the joke that was.
Well, apparently I'm not allowed to laugh.
Okay.
Here we go that said though Sam you mentioned that you've got a lot of voices in your head leaning up to this one What have they been telling you?
Oh that makes so- So that's basically what happened with Stephen Crowder and Dick.
That was the full example of what actually happened.
So that was everything.
You could have said that originally, and that would have made everything make more sense.
Yeah, that was.
Basically, what you're saying is the Daily Why gave Stephen Crowder a contract.
No, so what I'm trying to say is the most important part is that I'm trying to give an inside perspective because everyone's got an opinion, but it's like, can you just tell us what happened and then give you a point?
We have a two-hour live stream, so we have time.
It's called content.
I know you're not going to think you, I know that you're getting frustrating.
No, I'm not frustrated with you.
I'm trying to explain the fact of that.
So what comes out is basically this.
Steven Crowder doesn't just say like, hey, I have a bad contract or like I got bad numbers.
He accuses this unknown company of being in bed with big tech because of clauses that say if you get demonetized, we're going to dock your production budget and your pay by 25%.
And he goes, dude, that's literally like they always demonetize us.
Like I'm demonetized.
And he's going, these companies are in bed.
So I get paid less if I get demonetized.
Then they're going to make sure I get demonetized.
They're going to keep trying to push.
It's going to be inevitable.
Right.
It's not so bad.
It almost is inevitable.
Don't do anything that's going, don't do or say anything that's going to get you demonetized because you are going to feel the yeah, and it was from each platform, like from Facebook, from YouTube.
Everything you get demonetized from.
Now, I want to remind people, we're a very small show.
This is a micro show, which means it's about two centimeters larger than my penis.
And this is a micro content.
Now, we're heavily suppressed.
I don't care.
We're censored.
We're demonetized.
We're throttled.
We get strikes all the time.
It's just, we're just, it's a messy, messy place.
To put it into perspective, how messed up it is, we have 1,846 live viewers on YouTube with 498,000 subscribers.
And we have 1,100 live viewers on Rumble with 28,000 subscribers.
We have almost the same amount of live viewers on Rumble as we do on YouTube with like literally 1,500% less people that subscribe to the channel.
It's pretty jacked up.
However, I will say this.
It is inevitable that if you, and the reason why that's the case is because we don't back down.
Now, we obviously, there's certain questions.
We have fun.
We have humor.
We play around the bush.
Sometimes we watch Russian.
We play around the bush.
Play better than playing with your bush.
Interesting.
Yeah, play around the bush.
Yes.
Beat around the bush.
I know that that sounds close.
It's because I thought the beating your bush sounded sexual in nature.
And I didn't know what it was.
Playing around the bush totally didn't sound sexual.
Beating around my bush.
Boys, beat around your bush less.
Go beat your own bush.
Boy.
No, so what he was saying is like this.
And that's why, like, I'm going to be completely honest.
I've had a very bad experience in general when it comes to what's his name said?
When you look at contracts and offers from different people.
I've had multiple contracts and multiple offers from different companies.
And they were all very, very shysty and bad.
And I've never accepted them.
Did I make videos about it?
No.
Because I would assign NDAs and I just don't, I don't cover that kind of stuff.
And also, I'm afraid of those people that are in charge of the contracts.
Because I'm an easy target because I don't want millions of dollars.
Those people don't play around the bush.
They don't play around the bush.
They just.
Nope.
No.
They beat the shit out of me.
Out of the Palestinians.
All right.
All right.
My bush, yeah.
Okay.
No more jokes.
Okay, be serious.
So, no, I was going to say that that's the case.
However, I will say this, that it is absolutely true in a hundred ways, more ways, that he was explaining that not only these contracts exhaust you, but they basically take away your creativity and force you not to speak your mind, not to speak about what you would want to.
Now, now you start to understand why certain, he didn't name them, but now that the company's out there, why certain people who are awesome, by the way, who I know personally, who have loving families, who are incredible individuals, like Matt Walsh, like Michael Knowles, like Brett Cooper.
Actually, if you guys want to hear something sad, the week that I left the Blaze, Michael Knowles was scheduled on this show.
I know.
Where's the sound?
I know.
Michael Knowles, that was like people going, aw.
Do I?
Never mind.
It was just in my dreams.
Yeah, I don't think I have that.
Nope.
I know.
But I've had Brett Cooper on.
I've had Andrew Clavin on.
I've been on Tim Cast with Matt Walsh before.
I've been on shows.
I like these people.
They're very kind.
Outside of Ben Shapiro, everyone is genuinely not an asshole.
And I mean that sincerely.
But also, if I was Ben Shapiro and I had that kind of money and I wore a Daytona Rolex, I might be an asshole too.
I'm just going to give him credit.
It's kind of cool.
I mean, if I was, he said, I think he said on HBO that he had a bed made out of money.
And I believe that.
Is he joking?
I don't know.
But I would like to say that for generations, people similar have had beds made of money.
So it could be real.
I don't know.
But I also mean that company is not a bad company.
I've also been on Candace's show.
I've worked with every single person that's big on that network outside of Ben in my professional career, and they're cool and they're fucking awesome.
And I'm not going to talk shit on them because there's no reason to.
And at Blaze, by the way, like with any company, you can bump heads with people, you can have issues, but for the most part, everyone there, hosts are very cool, and also the staff and the executives are very cool.
And oh, people go, oh, I, you know, you know, cause problems.
I'm not going to cause problems.
You know why?
Because in the midst of this, I don't think there needs to be a problem between Daily Wire, between Blaze, between Crowder.
I think that there's a middle ground.
So what I was expecting to do is I was expecting Jeremy Boring to come out and just be like, not say anything, because it's like, okay, so Steven Crowder just says that you guys are shysty.
Everyone kind of knows this.
I mean, you don't just, I respect the hell out of Brett Cooper, so I'm not mitigating her success.
I just meant you don't just gain 12, you know, 1.2 million subscribers overnight unless you're working for a company that's got some connections with big tech like and some serious marketing money and some serious advertising money.
And you know what?
People who talk shit on Brett Cooper for growing so quickly, they're just jealous because I wish I had that kind of money.
And the truth is, is that no other company backs their people and spends more money than to promote them and to get them big outside of the networks, like maybe Fox News or MSNBC than Daily Wire.
Blaze doesn't, Breitbart does it, Turning Point doesn't.
Nobody does, okay?
Nobody does.
Pregerhuven spends a shit ton of money on advertising and promotions, all generated views and stuff.
And it still does not compare to the budget that Daily Wire invests into their hosts.
And that's so respectable.
That's incredible.
That's why a lot of people are jealous because all you got to do is not talk about one subject or whatever subject they tell you not to talk about in the moment that could get you demonetized.
And then you'll have the best fucking job for your entire life.
So it is a little bit jealousy people have.
I think, you know what I'm saying?
People are like, oh, well, they can't talk about, this is my favorite.
This is now shit on working class America, but it's always the guy that's like making $40,000 a year that's like, oh, Matt Walsh didn't hit on the pandemic earlier in the year.
And you're like, well, dude, have you ever made seven figures?
Have you ever made eight figures?
Sometimes you might question, like, is it worth jeopardizing the greatest provision for my family ever to just be right about something?
And I mean that as a man.
Like, it's like you're in a company and it's everyone's always like, you should name them.
And it's like, hey, fuck you.
You should go up to your boss today and tell him what you really think.
No.
Like, really?
Really?
Oh, so these people control the media and they run everything, but you want me to just shit on the people that fund my job?
Okay, that's.
It's easy to speak the truth when you have nothing to lose and they have nothing to take from you.
Like, what?
There's this like quote.
There's this quote that's like, if you can only control a man if you don't take everything away from him.
But if you take everything away from him, you can't control him and he's free.
So if you have absolutely nothing to lose, say whatever you want.
You've got absolutely nothing to lose.
But if you have something to lose and you have people depending on you and a family and stuff saying whatever you want that comes with consequences and you actually have something that is valuable to lose, it's probably a harder decision to make.
I can understand that.
Well, and by the way, by no means am I defending the Matrix am I saying that it's that it's correct?
What I'm saying is it's easy to judge people when you haven't been in their shoes.
So it's really easy.
Like it's like, oh, well, you know, Andrew Tate isn't promoting that stuff.
Andrew Tate made his money off of cam girls.
So, you know, and like 50 Cent isn't doing that.
Well, he made his money off of selling drugs, you know, initially.
So a lot of these guys haven't made those risks.
And so maybe they're not, maybe the risk they're taking now is not speaking up on something.
And that just proves the fact that you really probably can't get ahead and make a ton of money without some compromise.
And that's a shitty truth.
And everyone's going to hate me for that in reality.
But there's a reason why a lot of people go independent, don't get ahead, never get as big as other people.
It's because they're not willing to take, they're not willing to compromise.
So there's a ton of people I know who just are not willing to submit to that.
And there's a reason why Blaze TV has a lot more hosts than Daily Wire.
Because there's a ton of people who want to make money, but most people don't want to submit to that level of control.
And that's a really difficult thing for me to say when the fact I respect these people.
I'm not one of those people.
It's not that I was going to work for Daily Wire or anything, but I've always struggled when someone above me or around me tries to tell me, you can't tweet that, you can't say that, you can't do that.
Because I'm like, fucking, why?
Why?
It's what I think.
Why can't I explain to you what I really think about the world?
Because I think that men should be completely blunt about how they view the world and that we shouldn't toe the line, that we shouldn't hide these things.
And I think that's what Steven was mad about, was that Steven's had a lot of autonomy.
Even in Blaze TV, his studio is separate.
It's in a whole nother building far away.
And I think he's just kind of like, I've never been told what to do.
I don't want to do this.
And I'm not going to be one of those people.
And when I say this about not wanting the Matrix, I'm not saying people should compromise.
I'm saying that was what Steven, I felt like, was saying.
Was like, maybe other people are willing to not speak about vaccines or different things because the money is worth it to them.
Maybe they want to give in to certain hysteria or listen, but I'm not going to do that.
And he was insulted.
From my understanding, he was insulted that he was being kind of like told that if you think for yourself, if you're fully independent, if you actually don't listen to us, then we're going to punish you.
And it is insulting.
It's fucking gross and it's insulting.
And that's why I call this a bizarre rant from the CEO because why don't you just be forthcoming about your company in terms of like Prague or you?
Everyone's like, PragerU is a Jew media.
It's Jew controlled.
Bro, they're literally, they're like mission statements.
We support the interests of like Israel and the United States.
Like you get mad at cats for meowing.
Like they're very upfront.
They're very upfront with what they support.
Just don't consume them if you don't like them.
But I think that I don't know if Crowder was living under a rock or what, or he just didn't, he was so focused on work that he didn't pay attention.
But I guess he didn't know the sacrifices that people make to work for those organizations and the amount of control that those organizations have on what you can and can't say.
Like, I mean, look, I think Candace Owens wasn't allowed to have Kanye on her show anymore.
It's her friend.
I would rather spend a day for free with Kanye West just to respect him than I would to take all the money in the world and work for a place like Daily Wire.
And they would never offer me a job either because fuck it.
They know I would never submit to that shit.
And I think that that's where they kind of got confused because Crowder was a big name.
Maybe he was going to submit, but he was never going to.
Because Crowder is legit.
I do know that.
I'm going to say that.
Crowder's not in this for the money.
I know that for a matter of fact.
Does he make a shit ton of money?
Yes.
He's one of the biggest entertainers in the entire YouTube sphere.
But he's humble.
Where do you think the balance is in like I'm just thinking this out loud, so I don't really know how to gather my thoughts into proper words.
But you're you say whatever you want, basically, and you are completely silenced.
And so only people who follow you can see what you say and whatever.
And other people similar to you who say, you know, they're just blunt about certain facts and truths or different things like that get totally like suppressed in their reach along with all the other things that they talk about.
There may be just 10% of the things that you talk about is what suppresses you, whereas everything else, or maybe the 90% of other things, is going to be the same as the people who work at Daily Wire, except you go an extra 10% further.
But with the Daily Wire people, their reach is endless and their money is endless.
And the people that they could maybe red pill or get to, maybe they're not saying the extra 10% that people feel like, hold on, if you're going to say the truth, say the whole truth, go further, don't just stop there.
Do you think, like, where's the balance?
Or do you think there is still good in that of like, look, maybe they don't say everything, but they are reaching people that you could dream of reaching.
And probably they're so much more mainstream and accepted.
Because they are tame in their speech and they aren't allowed to say certain things, they are going to be allowed to be more involved in the conversation with people that you just aren't going to be able to.
Yeah, I think what people...
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Yes, but what I think that's what I said about The Rock is that people, if you're not honest about that, like, you know, people are like, oh, you know, I'm trying to be honest and correct, not saying I like it.
Like, it's like, I can already tell the chat people get mad, you know, when they're like, oh, he wants the Daily Wire money or whatever.
Dude, I'll never, they'll never offer it to me.
I not only don't want it, they're never going to offer it to me.
In fact, I've had nothing but problems working in big conservative media because of the things that I say.
And in fact, it's been a constant struggle to make money.
And if you followed the show, I've lost seven figures of money over the years.
In fact, I've lost most of the funding of this show from taking risks and from doing things.
I mean, I was told not, you know, I've been told a lot of things.
I'm not going to get into it because it would piss people off.
But I've been, you know, there's been a lot of attempts of control on my life over the years, and I've resisted the best that I can.
And I've never not said something because I was told not to say it.
I've always spoken my mind.
But I'm not super extreme in the fact that I actually started this to be in the center and I was honest.
What I am trying to say is, is that if you don't, just because Matt Walsh is cool and Michael Knowles is cool and all these people are cool, you have to know what you're getting when you watch the Daily Wire.
You're getting a filtered perspective of standardized, central, centralized, mainstream, neoconservative viewpoints that are like kosher, advertiser-friendly, and safe.
And you're not going to be hitting on ideas that are stretching the bounds of discovery or challenging the status quo.
You're not going to be getting cutting-edge entertainment.
It may look like it, but most people don't want that.
And that's who they're catering to.
They're catering to the mainstream.
Most people just want to believe Israel's our greatest ally.
They want to believe Trump was bad and DeSantis is the answer or the opposite that Trump may back vaccines and have pushed shutdowns, but he's still going to save our country, even though he's having his first rally with Lindsey Graham.
People have this cult-like tribalistic mentality.
And if you play to that, and I know that I always had pressure to play to that because you work for a network, you get pressure from people.
It's not like it's the executives or people like that.
It's like internally, like the company, like host people, that they stop inviting you on your show.
They talk to you.
They're like, why are you doing this?
And people try to pressure you out of being yourself.
I'm just saying I have a lot more respect for Crowder now because when you find out that Crowder was offered a ton of money for this, I want to go to some timestamps.
Let's listen to a couple of this response.
So Jeremy Boring, the CEO.
It sort of reminds me of like churches.
For people who are familiar with going to church or whatever, I think one thing that you and I have always struggled with is when you go to churches, they often feel like, I think they call them like crown churches, like the colors, those little colors, because you go in and it's almost for like new believers, for someone who's never heard the Bible before, a really watered down message.
You're not going to hear them talk about abortion.
You're not going to hear them talk about gay marriage.
You're not going to hear them talk about really stuff that's offensive and uncomfortable.
But I think the majority of churches are like seeker-friendly churches.
I think that's what they're called, where everyone's welcome if you're gay, if you're this, whatever lifestyle.
Come and just, we're going to just say, don't be anxious.
God is love.
Jesus loves you.
And just come in and just be a part of our community.
And you can bring a lot of people in there, but you're not going to hear things that would even make Christians feel uncomfortable and challenged.
And perhaps in these big media companies, they're like seeker-friendly for conservatives or people who have those views.
And you can come in and go, yeah, drag shows are bad.
And yeah, this, you know, climate, you know, or talk about these different kinds of things that is like, that's not really offensive to most people.
Like, that's pretty basic unless you're some really crazy person.
But I think you are not seeker-friendly, conservative.
I think you are very offensive where even people who are conservative and would agree with 90% of what you say would feel offended by some of the things you say or feel confronted by some of your views and opinions.
I feel confronted.
All 14 of my personalities.
No, you're not.
No, you're not.
You're not.
Yes, I am.
No, I'm with you on that.
I'm definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
You know, I tried to start a mainstream show one time.
I tried to start a live mainstream show.
Didn't work out.
But I had a shot and I tried it.
And I guess I'm a little too crazy for most people.
But it's whatever.
I like that.
I mean, you know, the voices in my head tell me it's all going to be okay.
And as we go on to it.
So here's what the term offer is.
What?
You're going to bring it up.
Yeah, I just like people.
Seeker-friendly churches?
Yeah, Eric.
Seeker-friendly chats?
Yeah, it's so funny.
Yes, seeker-friendly churches, okay?
And then also, too, a little reminder, a little reminder.
Where is this at?
I do want to bring this up because I need to start, I need to interact.
Somebody told me I need to interact with chat more.
Is that true?
Do I need to interact with chat more?
Yeah, hiding logos chat is always, they always have some great stuff.
Well, I know I didn't bring this up.
Shows called Slightly Offensive, Sleeping, and people are mad, Seeker Sensitive, Clay and Buck are suicidally boring.
Jolovsti, and we're all salt.
We love salty here.
Elijah's slightly offensive.
There I am, Gary.
There you guys are all getting on there.
What is Modern Christianity?
Before you guys start putting stupid stuff in the chat.
Yeah, it's like.
What is this?
What is this?
Why do I see this stuff?
What is a show hide thing?
It must be some moderation they have on YouTube.
I should take that off.
I don't know.
Okay.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know.
One of the best teachers I've ever had.
People are sitting here.
Yeah, read all the chats.
By the way, yeah, I'm going to get back in the chat.
So let's watch this.
Okay, so here's what he says is the deal.
Here's the terms of the offer that he offered him.
Listen, this kind of money.
This is like stupid money for most people.
Stand firm here, but we're willing to compromise there.
And over time, you either get to a deal or you don't get to a deal.
But that's how a good faith negotiation always works.
100% of every interaction I've ever had with any talent, that's the process.
And so here we go.
Here was our offer.
A four-year initial term with two-year renewal at DW's sole discretion.
That just means Steven's going to work for DW for four years.
And if it's going really well, DW can retain him for an additional two years.
Two, the fee.
Remember, this is the minimum number that we thought would get the conversation started with Steven.
$50 million for the initial term plus $25 million for the renewal term, if extended, paid in monthly installments.
Like I say.
Okay, so the reason why the number is a little higher than normal is because apparently he's been covering all his own production costs.
So that was his first production conference.
He comes with his own team and everything.
Yes, but apparently that's like about, it comes out with the episodes that he was being offered to like, I think even if like they were offering him an additional day to shoot, they'd be paying him $15,000 a day on top of what he was making to do some other work as well, which is pretty good.
I don't know about you, but I mean, the kind of money that people in media make is really insane.
It's borderline crazy.
And you'll see that's why it attracts the most narcissistic and probably some of the most crazy stuff.
That's why I always say, like, it's like, why do you think there's so much cut down?
Like, even this drama, it's all about fighting.
Because there's a lot of money on the line.
And so people think of other people as, if someone sees someone as competition, they'll just cut them down.
Or like, that's kind of like politics, right?
You ever watch politics?
Like, it's like somebody's running against the other person.
And then rather, like, you never hear anything about the policies they're fighting for.
Like, you have nothing.
You don't know anything about what John Fetterman wants for the country, but you know he's a caveman and he's retarded.
I know he's got an incredible fashion sense.
Yeah, and he's actually a class A actor.
But it becomes about drama.
So when people become threats, it becomes about drama.
And people get bitter, people have problems.
And so I don't want that to happen from this.
I've seen some of the worst, nasty stuff over the years.
January 6th is a good example of politically motivated hatred.
It's like, you know, it's not an argument about who committed what crime, right?
Did you commit a violent crime or a non-violent crime?
It's like, you're bad because you're an insurrectionist and you're evil.
We got to take you down.
And the amount of backbiting, backstabbing, gossip, slander, hatred, jail time, all this shit that comes in politics.
You've got to be a psychopath to work in this industry, for sure.
There's kind of a reason why I'm not really ever that interested in it.
And I talk about culture and kind of stay on the outside.
But even I'm not exempt from the fucking bullshit.
Not a psychopath?
No, I'm a psychopath.
That's true.
Yeah.
But I'm also saying, like, I'm no longer talking to anyone in the industry.
Like, well, I'm just like doing my own thing because the industry, I thought maybe I can change it.
I can change her, Dad.
I swear I can change her.
I can bring her.
And I thought, like, I could do something to the industry and I could help it.
It's not going anywhere.
It's fucked.
And the people are fucking shitty.
But I will say that's why I feel bad about this because it's like, ah, Steven, you got millions of dollars.
Why are you and the other millionaire fighting over money?
Like, I ignore the bullshit, but this is like pretty high-level stuff.
And so I find this interesting because, you know, like I said, I know these people, if you're just on the live, I've dealt with these contracts, kind of contracts before.
I understand the frustrations of Steven.
And I also know, like, I see Dave Rubin weighing in on this and kind of being like, oh, Steven doesn't know what he's talking about.
I don't know why.
But, you know, so it goes.
So it goes.
Also, people call me Elijah Fetterwoman.
That's actually in the chat that they do.
I like that.
And also, they also said that he doesn't need Louder with Carter doesn't need it.
And then someone also said, Sponge is going live.
Yeah, Nick Fuentes is back on the air, apparently.
On YouTube?
I don't know.
So Jeremy Boring goes over the entire contract that they sent to Stephen.
So, yeah, but here's the point.
So it actually doesn't really matter.
So here's what he goes on to say.
So he goes on to say he clarifies this here.
Where is this?
802 about the contract details.
Quality of the production will be as good as or better than his currently existing content.
This just, again, Stephen's going to produce his own content.
It has to be as good as the stuff that Stephen's audience has come to expect from him.
And that'll come out of the $50 million.
So it's not like all of that $50 million goes right in Stephen's pocket.
He's going to use some of it to pay for.
Okay.
Can I also just say this, clarify, I don't think Steven actually gives a fuck about the money, but I think his team, the people working on it, do, because money is important and it's about understanding.
But I think the main reason why he was mad, and I think it's so funny that this particular group of people starts with talking about the money as if that's the only important thing when in reality what Steven seemed to be most mad about was the level of control and pressure and the way that they were in bed with big tech.
So there's a certain group of people that likes to say like, but we'll give you money and we'll give you money in media.
And they give a lot of people a lot of money in media.
And who am I talking about?
Executives.
Exactly.
Executives and lawyers.
They give lots of money to people for doing their work, except they just want you to shut up.
And that's one of the difficult perspectives.
I don't know if Stephen's been in one of these negotiations for a long time, is that they'll just pay you less, the less they can control you.
It's just like the less power we have, the less power we have to control you, the less we're going to pay you.
But that makes sense to me because for a company like Daily Wire or Fox News or whatever company, the less control they have over their employees is probably a little bit scary to them because their employees are a representation of them and their views.
And so if Daily Wire or Fox News or whatever company is trying, you know, wants their company policy or stance on something is particular and you have an employee that's not going to fall in line or not going to say the things that you agree to, then there's going to be issues.
Like, you know, like the whole Tommy Lauren situation at Blaze where she was pro-abortion and it was sort of like, well, this company is not for abortion.
And so you kind of need to represent our things.
So, I mean, I don't necessarily agree with it, but I can understand from a company point of view, having less control of your employees and what they say and put out publicly is probably a liability to you.
Oh, yeah.
And one of the things that that's what I'm saying, like one of the things is if it reflects bad on the company, like I will never understand, and I've seen this in media.
There is plenty of people who work in media who have no clue that they're representatives of the company and they write shit and then they get fired for it, right?
Like Disney, everyone.
It's like you write something, it's like, oh, you're an editor at Disney, and then you make a comment about drag queens, you might get fired because why the fuck are you commenting on your corporation business?
You're a low-level employee that works in the creative department.
Why the fuck are you making public comments about your company?
Like it's inappropriate.
It is.
It's totally.
But Steven's not a low-level employee.
He's literally hired as a representative or a brand ambassador.
He's actually a face, right?
So I fully agree about the control of people whose job isn't communicating.
Like if I hired you to fucking edit, do not be talking about my company on the internet.
Like just fuck you for doing that.
But if I hired you to talk about my company on the internet, then yeah, I might want a little control, right?
It's to be like a public representation.
That's what I meant.
I hired you to talk.
So I hired you to talk.
Let's figure out what levels you can talk about.
Our values.
Yeah.
Correct.
But if you're not hired to talk publicly, shut the fuck up and don't talk about my company.
And I agree with that.
Anybody I've ever worked with, if they ever spoke about me, they're retarded.
Meaning, like, that's just dumb.
And I've worked for companies that have told me, like, I've mentioned things, for instance, about like my photo.
Like, I remember one time I commented on a review on a photo booth company on Yelp, and the company's like, you can't comment on reviews of the photo booth company.
And I'm like, yeah, okay, I understand that.
And also, too, the reason why you have to mitigate that is because, like in this conversation, I could see why they would want control because let's just be straight up.
There's something called the crazy ex-employee thing where people leave bad situations, bad relationships, and then they fucking trash companies.
This is very common.
You see this in bad reviews on Yelp in Google reviews.
People get on and all of a sudden they're a victim of the executive, you know, and this and that.
And there's a huge problem.
And so like, you do have to have contracts in control because people do just go fucking blitzed and they just, people team up.
People do crazy stuff.
And Steven's not exempt from that.
And I do know that that's why like Steven wanting complete independence under a contract doesn't fully make sense to me because like people do dumb shit all the time.
They just fucking stay dumb shit.
And so you don't want that to happen.
But I also don't think Steven has a history of just going out and creating drama against people.
I've never seen that.
I've never seen it.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I've never seen it.
I do know that through this as well, that there was some of this, there was a conversation about whether they would own his social media.
Daily Why would?
Yeah, but they responded to that with this here.
His official Facebook, YouTube, Apple Podcast, Spotify, Snapchat, Rumble, and other social media accounts, excluding his existing personal Twitter and Instagram accounts.
So why would we exclude some and not exclude others?
Well, we're saying that during the term, we have, of course, he puts his podcast on Apple Podcast.
We're the ones monetizing the Apple Podcast.
So this is just making clear that, yes, if we're selling ads in his podcast, the podcast goes out on Apple Podcasts.
That revenue comes back to us.
We put something up on Facebook.
Same thing.
We bring in ad revenue off that Facebook piece of content.
But we're going to own that during the term.
Obviously, at the end of the term, he's going to get his official Facebook account back.
He's going to get his official YouTube account back.
He's going to get his official Apple Podcast channel back.
But during the term, again, all those people behind us, we've got experts in every one of these platforms, how to optimize it, how to make sure that you're getting the most out of it.
And we'll manage that and we'll collect the revenue.
But not as Twitter and Instagram, because those are very personal channels.
You can't manage someone's Twitter.
I can't beat.
Oh, they do, though.
Like, obviously, I'm bound by lots of contracts.
I would never, I'm also professional.
I'm not going to say shit about shit.
I'm not that kind of guy.
I don't go after people.
I'm not going to say this.
But I will say this.
You definitely can't say what you want when you work for a company.
And I find that to be the weird thing, though, that people think that media is exempt.
Like, can you, if you work for Northrop Grumman, I don't think you can even post anything.
If you work for defense contractors, if you work for a university, you're very like, so people are always like, oh, if I work for media, I can say whatever I want.
But if what you're saying hurts the end goal of the company, then you can be penalized.
Well, even doctors.
I had...
The company's...
What?
What?
When I spoke to a doctor the other day and asked them a question, they said, well, I'm not allowed to advise against vaccines or against certain things.
And so you're trying to ask a question like, oh, so like, what do you think about this or whatever, a medication or something like that?
And they go, well, I'm not allowed to sort of say anything.
You know, even in doctors, their hands are tied.
depending on the office you work at.
I don't know.
Maybe that's just, does that make sense?
Yeah, no, it does make 100% sense.
It is pretty crazy, though, like in the midst of all this, because like, so it's like, it's like saying that we own them during the term.
And people don't realize they really do.
They can control anything that they can take down anything.
They can delete anything.
They can remove anything.
They can add anything.
It's like they do have control of your social media.
And anyone you know that works for a network, they do not probably control their social media.
Probably.
And a lot of even what people write probably isn't even them.
Like, it's not.
A lot of these companies, they're just, they have writers and people.
It's like AI.
They just write their tweets and they're really good at writing.
And it's just part of how the companies work.
And it shouldn't shock you because that's literally how media is.
You think it's one guy.
It's an industry.
You think that guy's smart, that he's like, you know, really writing his show and has all these segments?
No, he just walks in.
It's ready for him.
He has no idea what's going on and he moves on with his life.
That's usually what it is.
And can't remember day into day out.
You're different than all the other boys, aren't you?
They sometimes say I am.
Some people say.
Some people say.
Who's that bitch?
Who is that bitch?
All right.
Some of the other time stamps I want to look at are really important.
Huge shout out to Mike, who helped me with these time stamps.
I'm working a lot closely with my buddy Mike here, who's helping me with keeping this content going at such a high pace because it's so hard.
We're doing five videos a week plus clips plus everything.
It's a shit ton of work, but we're grinding.
We're blazing our way independent.
It's really working out well.
I'm not joking.
It's doing like we're really figuring this out.
And I'm really happy about it because we're really focused on the growth on Rumble and other platforms.
And YouTube is just, you know, sits in the background now.
And so we just do whatever.
This is crazy.
So here's what happens if Crowder fails to deliver an episode.
Well, the club is part of DW Plus, right?
We're the ones who are going to own subscription revenue during the term.
So I think all this is very fair and very obvious to anyone.
You wouldn't pay somebody $50 million to then compete with, have them work for your competitor, and you wouldn't pay them $50 million to have them compete directly against you.
Now, here's this section that I know Stephen was very offended by.
And I think he misunderstood and therefore misrepresented.
Fee reductions.
There's a different fee reduction for all those kinds of contents we've created.
Daily content.
If he fails for any reason to deliver 192 episodes of the daily show, Or if he fails to include the ads that we agreed to or the promotions that we agreed to in those episodes, then we'll give a $100,000 reduction every time.
What's that about?
Well, again, you can't pay someone any amount of money, but you certainly can't pay them an unimaginably huge amount of money for their show and then not get the show.
So, what this is saying is you don't have to produce a show every day.
You don't have to produce 260 or 250 or 240 or 230 or 220 or 210 episodes a year.
You've got to produce 192 episodes a year.
You can film some of them in advance.
You can stack them up.
All of that's contemplated in there.
You can shoot on a Friday so that you can take two days off next week.
But if you don't give us 192 episodes, we can't pay you the same amount of money as if you did give us 192 episodes.
So this is just, yeah, you give us 192 times four minus one.
Then out of your 50 million, we're hitting minus 100,000.
Steven said that this is unfair, that if he had a sick day or gotten a car wreck, we'd dock him $100,000.
But I think that's just totally inaccurate for two reasons.
One, presumably, if he was sick this Tuesday, he could just shoot an episode next Friday, and you'd be completely even.
He's got an awful lot of extra time in the year.
Even Stephen.
I want to bring this up here.
We got one from Not Your Podcast said, in some ways, I get where Jeremy is coming from.
At the same time, how can you win a culture war when you punish your host for getting demonetized on big tech?
This is from Rumble.
Also said they should have offered some contract.
It was obviously not up his alley, Lol.
How did they not know he'd be pissed?
Weird.
And those are from our Rumble, this is from the Rumble chat that you can always go there and you can super chat.
We will get later in the show to some of the locals.
Don't forget that you can support at locals directly by following us there, which is amazing.
You get amazing memes just like this.
I think, look at that.
Amazing.
Wow.
When did you win that?
No, but you can get to the unfiltered chat here, which is great.
And you can send super chats there and we'll read them at the end of the show.
It's amazing.
And if you want to be a sponsor of the show and join us in helping support and raise our own support, we really appreciate that as we continue to grow and make the show possible.
Some good guests coming up.
I'm not going to give, but we have really good guests lined up for the next several weeks.
It's just taking me a little bit of time because I'm just trying to find the right people to work with.
I'm trying to book people.
It's just so many challenges.
There's always so much bullshit and red tape and everything.
But I'm really happy that we're getting back on the game.
And after exploring a lot of new guest ideas and people that were out there, we have a lot of amazing people and faces.
You might have already seen who I love and are good friends.
But one of the most important parts I think about this was that Tim Poole said that Steven Crowder is going to be on Timcast on Monday.
Apparently.
That'll be interesting.
So is that it?
No.
Was that the whole situation?
No.
So this is where he clarifies.
So the main accusation was about the fact of big tech, right?
And he doesn't get to it until 30 minutes into the show.
This is a very litigious people group type of thing where it's like you go on this bizarre rant for 50 minutes and you really don't hit home until 30 minutes in.
It's almost like a nightly offensive line.
Yeah, it kind of reminds me of this show.
We'd have to get every just talk and talk and talk and talk until we got to the real main juicy part of what the whole drama was about.
But let's not talk about anything else.
Let's just wait.
What was that law?
Oh, that's so funny.
That's so funny.
That's just funny.
Who are you?
Well, I don't know.
I do want to, so we are going to look at this.
He gets to the main crux of it, which is really amazing.
And I do want to remind you guys, but I just want to give a huge shout out to another sponsor on the show that actually has helped me make this possible.
As we are demonetized everywhere, don't forget to check out specifically pixetine, which are nicotine-infused toothpicks.
Now, many of you guys know if you're trying to smoke or you're going somewhere, there's restrictions, you can't really do it anywhere anymore in a lot of places, a lot of cities, you're looking for a way to get the nicotine buzz that actually releases acetylcholine, et cetera.
And you're looking for a way to have something that doesn't smell, doesn't leave mess.
Well, let me tell you, you might want to try Pixetine, which are nicotine-infused toothpicks for anyone that's 21 and older.
Go to pixotin.com slash Elijah for 20% off.
I encourage you to check out the Winter Fresh and the cinnamon flavors.
And guys, I love a good smoke at any point.
If you're looking for some alternative to smoking, or you're just looking for that nicotine buzz and you want to get rid of your vape, you want to get rid of your cigarettes, et cetera, and you're looking for a better alternative, in my opinion.
I don't smoke cigarettes or those things because of the harmful additives.
Even when I smoke cigars, they're hand-rolled.
They have only tobacco products, none of the weird fillers or any of that kind of stuff.
But maybe you're looking for something to change the direction of your life in the new year.
So I encourage you to check out Pixetine at pixotiene.com/slash Elijah, E-L-I-J-A-H.
Check it out today, pixetine.com/slash Elijah.
Let's check this out.
So let's get into this.
Let's get into this video, back in this video.
He addresses what's going on with the accusations of big tech here.
It's money off of us.
So in that way, Stephen is still driving, he's still driving success for YouTube.
It's unfortunate that YouTube has chosen to cut him out of participating in that success.
In fact, I think YouTube is utterly wrong.
The only time I've ever, of course, they're going to want to alternative platform.
But right now, we all still are dependent for getting our message out to have access to big tech and to monetize our content.
We have to have access to big tech.
That's where the audience is, and it's where the money is.
It's also where Stephen Crowder has made his entire name.
He's the biggest conservative YouTube star of all time.
He put out his video criticizing us and this contract as not being sufficiently conservative.
The number one place people will view it is on YouTube.
And that's not wrong.
That's where people are.
Of course, they're going to watch it on YouTube.
Of course, he's going to put it out on YouTube.
That's where the audience is.
Now, Stephen might respond by saying, yes, but I don't make any money off of YouTube.
I have been demonetized there.
And that's a point that we'll talk about here.
Nevertheless, obviously, you and I never went when we go to YouTube to watch Steven Crowder.
Steven Crowder may be demonetized and he may not make any money.
YouTube, though, still makes money off of us.
So in that way, Stephen is still driving, he's still driving success for YouTube.
It's unfortunate that YouTube has chosen to cut him out of participating in that success.
In fact, I think YouTube is utterly wrong.
The only time I've ever talked to the CEO of YouTube, it was to criticize her for her treatment of Steven Crowder.
I didn't even talk to her about the Daily Wire.
I had nothing to say at that moment about Daily Wire, but at that time they had demonetized Stephen.
And I used my one audience with one of the most powerful CEOs in the world to tell her that what she was doing to Steven Crowder was absolutely unethical and wrong.
So what were we trying to accomplish with this section?
Well, let's go through it.
The reduction of fee from lost revenue from boycotts, content strikes, or bans from major social media platforms.
A add drop.
If Crowder is boycotted or dropped by more than 50% of his then-extant advertising partners, that is, if 50% of the money that he's making from advertisers is suddenly gone and we're not able to replace that revenue within 90 days, then his fee will be reduced by 25% until such time as the ad revenue has been restored for a period of 90 days and then it would all reset.
Stephen says, all the left does is boycott our advertisers.
So this just says to the left, your boycotts work and we'll enforce it for you.
We will punish the content creator for you.
This isn't about punishing the content creator.
This is about if the Daily Wire is going to leverage, I can't say, I can't stretch it, probably $100 million by the time you have marketing, infrastructure costs, by the time you pay for all the legal compliance, all the technology that it takes to support Stephen Show and Stephen Show, even at the price that we offered for it, which he would have wanted much more, at least $100 million.
Obviously, if the show makes dramatically less money, well, then Stephen has to make less money because we're making less money.
And I brought this up to Stephen on the phone, and I said, Stephen, if your show, if we guarantee you $1, $1 for your show, and the show makes $1 in ad revenue and $1 in subscription revenue, then how does the money work?
Well, it works that $2 come in, you get your guaranteed dollar, we get a dollar.
What do you do with your dollar?
Well, you produce your show and you pay yourself.
What do we do with our dollar?
Well, we market your show, provide all the back-end infrastructure, pay for the 250-plus humans who work to make all of this continue to grow.
By the way, we don't pay for one single person more than we need.
There's no charity jobs.
We're not giving our money away.
If anything, we're understaffed by 50%.
We ask more of our employees than any other company probably in America today.
We drive people incredibly hard because our resources are limited, because we're trying to accomplish so much for our values, for our movement.
So we pay for that out of our dollar, and then we pay ourselves.
That's how it works.
I said, if the next day one of the dollars, the ad dollar, goes away, now what happens?
Should it be that you said something on your show that caused that $1 to go away?
Now you keep your $1 and we make zero?
I said, that wouldn't make any sense.
Obviously, you would have to lose a little and we would have to lose a little.
I said, we're trying to sort of emulate the idea of a joint venture.
And Stephen said, no, you should lose all the money.
It's your business.
I said, well, Stephen, how would we have a business?
Why would we be in business?
And how would we stay in business?
And Stephen, this is a very important point.
Stephen, again, I think the most entertaining, talented person in the conservative movement, I think one of the most entertaining and talented people in entertainment generally in the country today has created a very successful content generation company, a very successful production company.
But Stephen's never had to create the company that actually distributes, markets, and monetizes all of that content.
You know, he talks in his video about that.
Okay, so before we get into that, he basically is saying on the midst of this, okay, so Stephen, you know, he's like, okay, so Stephen Crowder, you know, is like, he basically is complaining that we're working with big tech and then doesn't refute that.
So that's where we make our money.
And that's been one of my biggest issues.
You know, I'm just going to call her, I'm just going to call her some A, okay?
I know somebody who's one of the biggest advertiser financiers for all of right-wing media.
So this might be boring for some people, but this is incredibly understandable.
The way that companies, right-wing makes money is if you're a left-wing podcast and you talk, you know, you're a woman, you go, I'm not clit sturdy.
And then people go, yeah, and they go, but first, you know what I do love?
A Big Mac from McDonald's.
You're like, hold up.
Did you just make a crass joke about your vagina and you're sponsored by McDonald's?
I'll never look at that soggy lettuce the same.
I carry on.
I was making a point.
Yeah.
See, it got your shock, but I've heard podcasts like this.
It's like Amy Schumer, etc.
Yes.
So they go like this.
Now, right-wing, right, people made jokes about this that were like right-wing podcasts are like, do you love this country?
Do you ever get a parched throat from singing the national anthem while you're shooting your guns?
Well, you need to get that with a little bit of patriot water.
It's like regular water, but for people who bleed red, which is also everyone, but also for patriots.
And you're like, what?
I have no idea what that even means, but they're sponsoring the show.
And then people dog are like, this is a grift.
Dude, you've got to fund a show.
I'm sorry that our CPMs, like a lot of conservative shows, our CPMs are pennies on the dollar compared to liberal shows.
We get no major sponsors.
You ever seen who sponsors Fox News?
It's like vegetable capsules.
And I'm not knocking because I'll take a vegetable capsule sponsor.
As long as they give you your money back guarantee, as long as somebody gives you your money back guarantee, remember, under TAC, UnderTAC, UNDERTAC.com, promo code offensive 2020% off their underwear.
Guess what?
Money back guaranteed.
I tell people, if a company will give you a money-back guarantee or they give you a lifelong guarantee, then I will trust their product.
Because if they trust their product enough to give you a refund, then there's no reason to not try it or to at least give into it.
But the problem is, is that she was telling me, like, back in AM Radio days, we used to find companies that would sponsor and our views would be on radio.
So we couldn't get deplatformed off the radio waves.
Well, you could, but you, for the most part, you couldn't.
And we would find conservative companies that would partner with you.
Now, the problem with this is, is that that would allow you to speak freely.
That's why AM Radio still remains one of the best conservative talking points or places to speak about your ideas.
Alex Jones is still on AM Radio.
When we started putting all of our effort into putting our ideas onto big tech platforms that hate us was our biggest demise.
And she told me that.
She goes, because it's like, the problem is, is that even when you find a company that will advertise on YouTube, you know, you get your channels demonetized.
Like, I just want to put into perspective, we make pennies on the dollar, but if you evaluate, it's so funny.
If you look up this channel, it says we should be making like, you know, like an ad revenue somewhere between like, you know, we're making anywhere from like three.
I mean, I think last month in December, this channel did like 25 million views or something, which in itself is worth about $50,000.
It's worth $50,000 in ad revenue, like minimum, pretty much.
It's worth about $50,000.
That's $50,000 we just don't get on this channel.
We just don't get the ad revenue.
And every month we should be getting somewhere between like $5,000 to $12,000 minimum a month on this channel for the views that we get.
And we just don't get that.
On top of that, we don't get super chats, which can be another 10 grand a month.
You're losing out on quarter million dollars on a small channel a month just by being demonetized.
Literally, a quarter million dollars.
That's literally how much money you're losing out on.
But even if you get remonetized, they're going to give you the shitty CPM.
So you're going to get like maybe 50 grand a year, which to you, a lot of people is good money.
That's great.
You can hire a new editor.
You can bring someone on.
You can expand.
And I'm not knocking 50 grand.
I'm just trying to say that she said that the demise of right-wing media where we really pussied out was when we relied on big tech platforms for our money.
And I'm here too.
And I'm just here for fun.
No, but I mean that genuinely because I've taken risks and guess what?
I've paid the cost.
And I've taken risks with advertisers.
I paid the cost.
And I think I've calculated it.
And the amount of advertisers I've lost and money, I think we're like over $2 million now in terms of money this show's lost from just things I've said and done.
Lost over $2 million in funding.
So that's a small show.
So it's not a small thing to give up money.
And I'm okay with it.
Do am I happy?
Yeah.
Would I have like $2 million to run the show?
Would I have pocketed it all myself?
No.
Probably about a million of that would have gone to just like making films or doing things.
I would have loved to have had more money, but whatever.
$2 million, fuck it.
We can make it somewhere else.
I just mean, legitimately speaking, I'd rather live off of my $17 a week in Trident Layers.
Shout out to the locals community who makes this show possible.
But I mean, like, he's basically saying, like, look, we've cocked ourselves out as media organizations.
We literally make our money from people who hate us.
And we've done it.
We've screwed ourselves over.
We now get all of our money and we entrust our ideas to be accurately displayed on platforms that don't express our ideas, that hate us, that want us dead.
And so the genius, our enemy, has us by the throat.
It's really smart stuff.
It's got to be moralized.
It's a little black pilling, but then you get these guys that are your boss.
And you don't want that as your boss.
I can tell you that from knowing.
Only because you really don't want.
And if you think that's bad, wait till you see what it's like having big tech as your boss because everyone you know that's not on that's on big tech isn't Fuentes made cozy TV.
It's cool.
I think Owen Benjamin's on his own thing, right?
Some people have made it.
You're asking me?
Yeah.
Yes.
I know all about these people.
And where they make their money.
Where they make the money.
Can I just say as a side note, last night, Elijah and I tried to watch a movie and it takes maybe five minutes into the movie before Elijah has to research what everyone's getting paid, how much was the budget, how this, that, and the other, and the whole movie, that's all he does is just tell me, oh, and this actor made this much money and look at the budget.
Yeah, and this and this.
It's like, just watch the movie.
Why don't you, you're like, wow, this is such a good movie.
I wonder how much all these things costed.
Yes, I love information and I just consume it at a higher rate.
But my point is that I feel bad because, realistically speaking, it's like...
It was A Quiet Place 2!
How did someone know that?
Spaghetti N-Word said a quiet place too.
Yes, we literally watched A Quiet Place 2.
How did you know?
It was a great movie, by the way.
And I didn't have nightmares.
So it's good.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
So here's where it gets.
So Crowder's going to come up with a response.
We're going to be tracking this all week.
We're going to be tracking it.
We should do an inception.
Please.
Oh, come on.
Please.
Track it with someone else.
This has really been tough for me.
I'm trying, darling.
I'm really trying to just channel my mind to think about money and numbers and contracts.
And this man said this.
I can't.
You just buy the furniture in the house.
Yes.
What do you want from me?
Oh, I should see her.
She has no idea about money.
She has no idea about money.
She just goes, click, and passes them a piece of plastic and they hand it back to her and that's her life.
Right?
Yeah.
Well, I asked you first.
No, I know, but I'm saying, like, your life is like, there's just a card.
And for some reason, when you need something, it works.
Why should I have to know all the details?
I love it.
Let's keep it like, let's keep it like that.
I'll tell you.
One day I'm going to find out that we're in massive, massive amounts of debt.
Actually, my student loan payments is pretty bad.
Back to Jeremy Boring, who's apparently a lot of fun.
Jeremy Boring is on here, and this is where he kind of like, this is where it gets personal.
Oh, so, okay, so we're still going on this.
Yes.
This is where he gets personal.
He like does massive digs at Crowder.
Are you thinking we're getting to a really juicy pop?
This is men drama.
Girls are like, oh my God.
I wish we would have started with some of the juiciest books.
I literally had a whole layout for the show.
And then Mike was like, bro, we got to change the whole show.
He was like, don't even talk about Greta.
We were going to talk about Greta.
I can tell you things about her.
She's a little girl and things like that.
We could have talked about that, but no, we have to talk about this man.
That's fine.
That's fine.
So now, but now it's getting juicy.
So for those of you who have been captivated this whole time, just wait till you hear what he says next.
Play.
Let's see.
Let's see.
I am on the edge of my seat.
It's Elijah boring, dot, dot, dot, his wife tonight.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
And Tim Poole apparently spent his whole show running interference, the Daily Wire.
We're not going to do that here, but see, we're running interference.
We're not going to attack the Daily Wire.
We're just going to not run interference for them either.
I don't know what that means.
Like, just like running cover?
Anyway.
One of the only true independent conservative voices.
And I find that incredibly offensive.
You know, Stephen, the whole time I've known him, has worked for someone else, has been paid by someone else.
That doesn't mean other people tell him what to say.
He's a very independent voice, and that's good.
So is Matt Walsh.
So is Candace Owens.
So is Ben Shapiro.
So is Michael Knowles.
So is Brett Cooper.
But Stephen, you know, as much or more than any of them, a very independent voice.
But he's not exactly a self-made man.
That's not true.
He was paid by PJ TV when I met him, which was owned by a billionaire at the time.
Then he was paid by CR-TV for a number of years, which was owned by a billionaire at the time.
Then he was paid by The Blaze, which was subsidized by a billionaire, until Tyler Carton, one of the real genius businessmen in our movement, turned the company around and made it profitable.
During all of that time, Stephen drove a ton of revenue.
He's incredibly valuable.
I'm not suggesting that he wasn't driving value.
He was.
I'm only saying he didn't have to build all of that.
He didn't have to think about it.
And he didn't necessarily have to be profitable.
And he doesn't know for a fact that he was profitable because, as he has said very publicly, all those companies, none of them really shared all the information about what was happening with them.
So Stephen feels very certain that his show was always profitable, but he doesn't know that his show was profitable.
And even if it was, what became of that profit?
Most of that profit almost certainly was reinvested into growing the infrastructure and growing the technology and growing the marketing and growing the compliance.
That's how business works.
And if you were going, if you're the Daily Wire, we're a very successful company by conservative media standards, and we're a tiny fraction of the smallest legacy media company.
If we're going to make one of the biggest investments we've ever made in talent, which is what we were offering Crowder here, an amount of money that puts all of our investments at risk.
I mean, if it doesn't work, you're not going to be able to make that kid's entertainment content.
You're not going to be able to make that, those movies and TV shows.
You're not going to be able to continue to do things like sue the federal government to stop the vax mandate.
You're not going to be able to do things like deploy investigative journalists to Virginia where they uncover the Loudoun story that changes the course of a gubernatorial election.
All of that takes resources.
When you leverage $50, $60, $70, $100 million, you're taking an enormous risk.
You're putting all of that at risk.
You don't do it cavalierly.
So let's be fair to boring here in the fact that, like, yeah, of course, it's a huge risk.
And I think Crowder took shots at Boring as well in terms of saying that they were trying to shyist him out of things.
But I also think that like, this is so freaking petty, like that this is all public.
It's embarrassing.
I'm in absolute shock.
I'm just like, he said, what?
This drama is, I just want to stay out of it, to be honest, because I would hate for someone to make a 52-minute long video about me talking about just rating, I don't know, something.
I don't even have any eyebrows anymore.
I've been spending so much time in the sun.
My eyebrows disappeared again.
Okay, so, but no, I'm saying like he's putting this out.
What?
I just want to say I see you, MJ.
He's pointing this out again where it's like, hey, we're putting a lot on the line for risk here.
What I think here was what happened was the contract was stupid.
Crowder shouldn't take it.
It is a stupid amount of money.
I don't think it's worth it.
I think Crowder could do his own thing.
I think from experience, life is much better independent.
It's extremely fun, independent.
I get to work.
I get to travel.
I'm getting to visit family.
I'm having a good time.
I'm living my life.
I'm no longer chained.
I can say what I want.
I actually spend less time on social media now.
There's less pressure.
I'm not around anybody that I don't want to be around.
I'm not forced to communicate with people I don't want to communicate with.
And there's just no drama.
I just live my life.
And for some reason, it's drama-free now.
And that's the key thing.
It's like, Crowder, just say, I don't want the drama that comes with the money.
It's chains, right?
It's golden handcuffs.
I don't, you, you guarantee me money, and I don't want that.
And that's fine.
Tim Poole doesn't take the money either.
Tim Poole's out there and he's around.
Now, Tim Poole's obviously, I still, what?
Y'all are talking like this in a falsetto.
Ooh, ooh, baby.
I, I, I, fuck y'all.
Like, ooh, ooh, baby.
Y'all are talking like this.
Okay, I get what you're saying, but I'll, so I'll move on.
However, however, I do want to, I, I do want to say that, uh, you know, realistically speaking, since, since Tim Poole, you know, even wrote on the comment that he's being correct, Tim Poole, right?
The Blaze try to sign Tim Poole.
I think Daily Wire might still be trying to, or tried to sign him as well.
A lot of people are trying to sign a lot of people.
The contracts are horrible.
I've never, I mean, with contracts, I've never heard anyone that's happy with their contract and things are always pretty screwed up.
But it's also a lot of money and they do secure you.
And I think that's one of the things that you can get mad at these companies for.
But like, one of the things I want to say this is like, you know, I'm grateful.
The Blaze, you know, had financed my life for years and the show and around him.
Now, this is nightly offensive.
This is my live stream.
And being independent, I'm figuring it all out from the ground up, right?
When I left, they took all my communications with my base and all of my advertisers and everything.
So I started with zero.
I left like a new channel.
All of my, and I wasn't allowed to produce for like a month for a while.
And I didn't even know if I was still allowed to produce.
So I had like ruined my algorithms, took away all of my connection with base, and I had no advertisers.
And it was like, okay, you start from the scratch.
So Steven, I get it.
I feel you.
I know what it's like to kind of just start with nothing again.
But also, critics are saying that Steven just did this to try to bring people to his website, which would be a good idea, actually.
It wouldn't be bad.
But I also have Steven's back because I know what it's like to sort of leave with nothing and have to kind of start over again.
And it's hard and it's difficult.
And I really hope he does well.
And I'm kind of excited to see where this goes.
And I hope it gets resolved Monday so we never have to talk about it again.
Oh, Lord, please, God, have some intervention here, please.
You just are praying, Lord.
Please solve the.
I'm going to be praying for Steven Crowder tonight.
I'm going to be on my knees begging the Lord.
I'm going to pray for my friends at the Daily Wire.
I'm going to pray for my friends at Steven Crowder's show.
I'm going to pray for all of them.
Everyone gets to pray.
Go ahead and say a prayer for Dave Landau.
He needs it more than anybody.
Dave Landau needs Jesus Christ.
Dave, you need help.
I love Dave.
Dave's got a new sitcom out, actually.
It's really funny, and I'm actually very happy about it.
I really like Dave a lot.
Oh, I'd love to watch something really funny.
We'll go watch a little bit of.
Would you like to preview Dave Landau's sitcom?
Oh, my God.
No, it's a show.
Is that really actually funny?
Yes.
All right, let's put it on.
He asked if I would share a little bit.
Dave, he's coming on the show soon.
But Dave asked me if I would share a little bit of his show.
Let me go to my DMs here real fast.
He asked if I would share a clip.
That's just Dave being retarded.
I do love this.
Let's see.
Here we go.
so why are we going to episode one why don't we just go to Dave Landau's um I do love Dave is very very funny guy where Dave just uploads so much stuff.
Okay, here you go.
Here's Dave Landau's.
Here you go.
Are you ready?
So here's his dystopian future.
This is from his sitcom.
It's really good.
So it's like a show.
Yeah, it's a real show.
Wow.
Watch.
Play my favorite TV show.
Hal, stop.
I don't really remember the show being like this.
This is the updated version.
It is much better.
Hal.
Play my favorite.
Wow.
Seeing everyone get injections like that is what my nightmare is made of.
I look, and this one too.
I love.
Here's another clip from the show from later on the episode.
So is it like each episode is like little...
Yeah, it's sort of like Black Mirror type thing.
Seems like we'll watch.
You're going to prison?
Because Belle listens to everything you say on your phone.
Belle, stop.
I don't say anything incriminating on the phone.
Hi, I'd like to order a large Supreme hand tossed with everything on it.
Except black olives.
I hate those.
I really don't see how loud.
I hate those.
Black.
Hal, stop.
This is an infringement of my privacy.
No, it isn't, Angela.
You hit I agree on Pal's terms of service.
Oh, come on.
No one even reads that whole thing.
Pal hears all.
hell sees all Chinese eyeballs?
Oh, my God.
Oh, man.
That is Dave Landau's show.
This is so good.
Where can people watch it?
Where can people watch Dave Landau's show?
I mean, it's not on Netflix.
You are correct.
That would be 100% true.
Let me see.
I probably could bring it up here.
I think it's right here on YouTube.
If you want to go to watch it, Corblack Garrett's involved with it, though, so you already know it's going to be horrible.
I'm just getting no, but I love Corblock.
Corblack's coming back on the show, too.
I can't wait to fight fake fight with him, but you can get it here, which is I don't know.
Okay, you can go to Dave Landau's.
There you go.
Normal World Episode 1, Dave Landau.
You can see it in the corner of the screen.
Let's move back on back to Jeremy Boring videos.
Yes.
I was wondering when we were going to get back to those.
Yes.
This is really.
Well, we'll leave it there with Jeremy Boring.
We'll leave it there.
Until next time.
We'll leave it there.
We'll leave it there.

Yeah, I can do it.
View tipped, go to the top.
And let's bring it up.

Nope.
There's more.
There.
Go all the way up to the top.
There you see.

There we go.
Okay, so we have Daily Wire response video sponsored by Manoschwitz.
Manoschwitz, how much Jewish wine can you handle?
Expect it.
So Daily Wire offered us $50 million for the little mug cub pieces.
I think you need to click on it to get the picture.
Oh, I think I have to bring it up here.
I told Boring where he could shove that.
Steven Crowder.
Yeah, go back to your click back on your thing, I think.

I watched the whole thing.
Alex Lindquist said, happy birthday to all the Nick G-U-R-R-S's out there.
Wow.
Spaghetti Edwards said, who could have been behind all these awful contracts?
John Boy Mag, turn it, pick it.
It's a picture of all the context.
And it says here, look at all this fucking racist bullshit.

Oh, wait, there's one above that, right?
Yeah, you didn't read it.
Oh, in 38 minutes in, and I'm very uncomfortable with how much emphasis Jeremy puts on making money.
We're living in the 1776 moment now, and George Washington wasn't ever worried about becoming rich at the time.
Not once, was too busy fighting tyranny.
True, you got to fund the show one dollar at a time.
Eric said, one more dollar.
And Doomsday Cracker said, Everything that's fake and gay, me.
Doomsday sent that great meme.
MJ also said, okay, me too.
One more.

Spaghetti Edwards said, interrupt this boring guy with some falsetto and said, thanks for the falsetto.
And then sent a five.
MJ said, falsetto, thanks, Kez.
Everyone's really happy.
Holy shit, time for some Jesus.
Let's put it up on the screen.
Let's go make that full screen.
Oh, that's very long.
So, are you really listening to this?
Really listening?
God's kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and then accidentally found by a trespasser.
The finder is ecstatic.
What a find and proceeds to sell everything he owns to raise money and buys that field.
Or God's kingdom is like a jewel merchant on the hunt for excellent pearls.
Finding on that is flawless, he immediately sells everything and buys it.
Or God's kingdom is like a fishnet cast into the sea, catching all kinds of fish.
When it is full, it is hauling the beach.
The good fish are picked up by put in a tub, those unfit to eat are thrown away.
That's how it is when the curtain comes down on history.
The angels will come and cull the bad fish and throw them in the garbage.
There will be a lot of desperate complaining, but it won't do any good.
Jesus asked, Are you starting to get the handle on this?
They answered yes.
And that's awesome.
That's a message.
It's a paraphrase version of the Bible, too.
If you wanted to know, and they do have versions like that that are not really the Bible, but they are paraphrased if you want to get an update.
And then type, oh, go down.
John Boy also sent that.
Oh my gosh.
Then we have two more.
Type Bean Neg.
Now I'm not going to read that.
No message.
Just a tip.
Rim shot and MJ sent a $5 tip.
