  1. Don't forget that Black Rifle Coffee wormed their way into their good graces.

  2. To be fair, look at what happened with Kevin McCarthy. The Patriot 20 reigned him specifically because they kept arguing with the rest of the Republicans. This could end up in a situation where both parties benefit because they have to look within themselves to see what they could do better.

  3.  @notalizardperson4899  The people they scammed did. They actually thought they were helping to plant trees in Scotland.

  4.  @TheSpicyLeg  But it's okay when Project Veritas secretly records phone calls, isn't it?

  5. To be fair, business and personal are married when it comes to Steven. The Daily Wire knew this and offered him a scummy contract anyway. Not to mention that Jeremy Boering tacitly admitted that this became personal with that nearly 1-hour video he was in when he should have kept this ordeal private. TDW made their bed, now they must lie in it.

  6.  @MrJpmoneypants  Keep in mind that at least one of the founders cough Ben Shaprio, is a corporate neocon.

  7. It's partially about the money, but there's also the factor of creative control, and given that Steven Crowder micromanages his show, that was a larger issue.

  8. I still say that YoungRippa59 has the best take.

  9.  @NinjaKittyBonks  Technically, he didn't make it public because there was still a degree of anonymity. The Daily Wire on the other hand confirmed everyone's suspicions with that stupid video. Had the video never surfaced, then everyone would have forgotten about this within a week.

  10. Eric July said it best. DW went with a generic contract when they knew that Steven Crowder would want an NBA-style contract.
    2
  11.  @CA11100  Crowder initially kept a degree of anonymity. Boering made the unbusinesslike move of confirming everyone's suspicions instead of forwarding Crowder a better offer whilst explicitly requesting in the letter that this stays between the two parties involved. Crowder did cross the Rubicon, but DW crossed it first.

  12. So, we should ignore that he omitted crucial information, such as the fact that Elijah Schaffer's firing is linked to Crowder leaving TheBlaze?

  13. You can thank Jeremy Boering for that one. Had he not made the video reading the contract, then Crowder wouldn't have launched a counteroffensive.

  14.  @samwell707  Nah, YoungRippa59 has a better one.

  15. Conversely, if you start with too low of an offer then you effectively tell the talent that you're trying to sign on that not only are they easily bought, but they're not worth much in the first place.

  16.  @charlie1832  He doesn't want to be in Sargon of Akkad's situation with The Lotus Eaters because in that situation, the norm is Louder with Crowder with Dave & Louder with Crowder with Gerald. Plus, because business and personal are married with him, should he go fully independent, then he would need a middleman or two to help with the business side of things, and they would have to be infinitely patient with him.

  17.  @libertytcm540  Because DW is so great? Ben Shapiro isn't the only corporate neocon running the show.
    2
  18.  @fishtopher24  DW isn't right-wing and, by Crowder's own admission, neither is he. Hell, Ben Shapiro isn't the only corporate neocon running the ship.

  19. Keep in mind that corporations are far less accountable than governments. A perfect example of this in action is Big Tech.

  20. Unfortunately, as Lauren Chen pointed out, this union could never happen and it was always going to result in a mess.

  21. Nah, YoungRippa59 has a better take.

  22. But not DW? Had Jeremy Boering not released that video, then Crowder wouldn't have launched a counteroffensive.

  23. Keep in mind that he's supposedly friends with the Daily Wire, and they still offered him a scummy contract in spite of knowing how well he would take it. Maybe, just maybe, they were never friends to begin with and Crowder learned that the hard way.

  24.  @chrlpolk  Funny you should say that because Quarter Pounder worming his way into Crowder's good graces is cause for concern.

  25. You should see how the corporate neocons running The Daily Wire act.

  26. Crowder's a bit of a diva and business is married to personal when it comes LwC. DW knew this but went ahead with the scummy offer and confirmed that their feud is personal by uploading that nearly 1-hour video. Personally, I'm cynical enough to think that Shapiro & Boering felt slighted by Crowder's refusal because they felt as if he owed them, as if LwC was destined to become part of DW's umbrella after the contract with TheBlaze expired.

  27. Nah, YoungRippa59 made a better take. Should we ignore that Shapiro's own word prove Crowder right about DW caving into Big Tech. Heck, Shapiro is in bed with Facebook because he throws millions of dollars at the company so he doesn't get throttled.

  28. You should see YoungRippa59's.

  29. Interesting that, among other things, the part where Steven Crowder brings up the business model isn't used. He wasn't exactly wrong. The Daily Wire claims to be flipping Big Tech the bird when all they did is just hop on the train and follow the everchanging rules and guidelines. It's not a sustainable business model and sooner or later it will bite them in the butt. Frankly, both the offer and Jeremy's words in the phone call, which was a business call because the two parties were discussing business, point towards one conclusion: DW is yet another conservative company that's run by a bunch of corporate neocons who really want to be liked by mainstream media. Ben Shapiro is in fact a corporate neocon and you can look it up if you don't believe me. I find it very interesting that Crowder's reasons for leaving TheBlaze as well as the fact that Elijah Schaffer was fired were omitted because the two are linked. While we'll likely never the whole reasons behind Schaffer's firing, he was repeatedly getting into fights with Glenn Beck over what he could and couldn't cover (ex. the Israeli-Palestinian conflict). Word on the street is that a driving factor behind Crowder leaving is that the bigwigs wanted to moderate his content (more). Moderation is exactly what would have happened if Crowder moved to DW regardless of whatever contract was offered. After all, as an example, we all know for a fact that Crowder's use of the r-word wouldn't fly under DW's terms. Even more interesting is the fact that Crowder's attempt to mitigate the situation by confirming that he's still fond of Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, and Jeremy Boering himself, Shapiro's and Candance Owens's videos and Twitter posts were left out. Shapiro claimed to not be caving into Big Tech whilst confirming that they do in fact cave into Big Tech's rules. Owens failed to address the meat of Crowder's video, and they both have been acting quite catty on Twitter. Crowder on the other hand shared his videos on Twitter and has not since made any new tweets about this situation. There is one particular angle that wasn't addressed here. Crowder and the Daily Wire crew may never have truly been friends in the first place. Shapiro & Boering may have very well just been currying favor with him in order to acquire Louder with Crowder, and Crowder may have learned that the hard way. Admittedly, I don't know that much about Boering, but Shapiro is absolutely that much of a money-grubbing, conniving weasel. He throws millions of dollars at Facebook so he doesn't get throttled instead of flipping them the bird by jumping ship to VK, Diaspora, MeWe, or another alternative. Not to mention we still don't know the full details of his meeting with Mark Zuckerberg. Lastly, it looks like Rumble may be attempting to woo him into signing a deal, and YoungRippa59 still has the definitive take.

  30. Not entirely. He think it's fundamentally about money but there's the larger issue of creative control, and Crowder is the creative, so he approaches the issue from that perspective.

  31. He wasn't the only one who acted inappropriately. Owens and Shapiro have been catty on Twitter, and Boering made the unbusinesslike move to release that stupid video that's nearly 1-hour long. Had he not done that then everyone would have forgotten about this within a week.
    1
  32. Keep in mind that we don't know the whole story and neither side is being entirely honest. Look at Ben Shapiro's response. He essentially said "we're not caving into Big Tech. We just want to make money while following all of their rules."

  33.  @chesscomsupport8689  Or is it the reverse?

  34. And TDW isn't?

  35. If his analysis is so honest then why did he ignore Crowder trying to mitigate the situation by confirming he's still fond of Boering, Shapiro, and Klavan, Shapiro & Owens acting catty on Twitter, Crowder's reasons for leaving TheBlaze, and more details? He said that his initial video was over an hour long. Ever think about what he conveniently cut out in this video?

  36. It's not entirely objective. He left out important parts including, but not limited to: Crowder trying to mitigate the situation by pointing out that he's still fond of Boering, Shapiro, and Klavan, DW's conduct on Twitter, and Elijah Schaffer's firing. The last one is linked to why Crowder left TheBlaze.
    1
  37.  @Chrismw81  Then why did try to mitigate the situation by confirming that he's still fond of Boering, Klavan, and Shapiro? Hell, let's not forget that Shapiro is exactly the kind of money-grubbing, conniving weasel who would gladly blow smoke up Crowder's ass in order to acquire LwC. After all, he pisses away millions of dollars by throwing it at Facebook so he, and he alone, doesn't get throttled.
    1
  38.  @reecedrystek2992  Why do you assume that they were ever truly friends to begin with? It could be that Boering and Shapiro have only been blowing smoke up his ass from the beginning.

  39. How stupid are you? Crowder's pro-Israel and Fuentes thinks a Jewish cabal is actively trying to ruin his life. Fuentes would need to be a better actor than Sir Alec Guinness in order to sway him.

  40.  @shawnfoogle920  Is it? There are many companies that want to be the next Daily Wire or usurp them. They would absolutely risk a secret recording in order to achieve that goal.

  41.  @adamimberti6948  He is the kind of man requires a hell of a lot of patience to work with, if not infinite patience, because he micromanages LwC. It's his baby.

  42. Does the name "Ben Shapiro" ring a bell?

  43. Not everything.

  44. Eh, YoungRippa59's is better.

  45. He wasn't entirely honest because he left out important parts including, but not limited to: Crowder trying to mitigate the situation by pointing out that he's still fond of Boering, Shapiro, and Klavan, DW's conduct on Twitter, and Elijah Schaffer's firing. The last one is linked to why Crowder left TheBlaze. Furthermore, Crowder self-moderates. He wouldn't get that privilege with DW. For example, they would never allow him to use the r-word.

  46. I've seen better.

  47. Why do you assume they were truly friends in the first place? The fact that DW threw exactly the scummy contract that music companies are known for suggests that DW, Boering & Shapiro in particular, felt that they were owed Louder with Crowder. Make no mistake, Shapiro is that much of a money-grubbing, conniving weasel. For crying out loud, he throws millions of dollars at Facebook so he won't get throttled.

  48. What if they were never truly friends to begin with? What if Shapiro & Boering were only currying favor with Crowder in order to snatch his show up after his contract with TheBlaze ended?
    1
  49.  @kayeoffers4339  I don't. I believe he's currying favor in order to be in a financially beneficial relationship with Crowder. After all, Quarter Pounder is the same man who tried to get daddy Elon to make him the succeeding CEO to Twitter. Seriously, that had to be one of his unmanliest displays ever.
