Shapiro is off putting ... but this may have more to do with the mood in the room right now. Moderates on both sides are stepping away from the daily unrelenting back and forth.

It's happening on the left too.

Only the extremists are pulling the numbers and even they are seeing decines in their impressions.

I'm not sure that's It's the Jewish messenger as much as it is the message.

No, absolutely not.

I typed that moderates are stepping away from the likes of Shapiro, and his counterpart influencers ... moderates on both sides.

Moderates on the Right are ignoring Shapiro, Megyn, Tucker, et al. Alex Jones went dark, out of business, today.

Moderates on the left are ignoring Hassan Piker, Jennifer the lizard woman, Bone Smoking whatshisname Don Lemon, et al.

People are tired of the bullshite. It's exhausting. School is almost out. Summer is almost here. This has been going on for too long ... ain't nobody got time for the zealots anymore.

Actually, AI is taking over the coding jobs…. So, the new phrase is, “ learn to coal mine!”

I am not questioning this as I sense there is fatigue and people realizing there are nut jobs on both sides and are distancing themselves from those people and “tuning out.”

With that though, do you have numbers/evidence of this? I’d love to dive into some numbers/data if there’s a good place to find this stuff.

Is Ben still planning to push forward in his exhaustive work into his 80s.

Or is a retirement package being put together?

He's certainly a moderate in that he is nothing like the Pikers or Owenses of the world.

Matt Walsh is probably the best commentator out there right now.

I don't have specific numbers. I've been monitoring the views on various platforms for a few weeks.

Alex Jones went out of business today.

Tucker Carlson's views on YouTube are down 36% since this time last year.

Megyn Kelly's numbers are down over 20% just since September ... and she is suddenly, visibly, doing an about face from her anti-Trump, pro-Candace, pro-Tucker stance that she took in March. So we must assume she has been told to reverse course, in a hurry, because her numbers/view and unsubscription were going in the wrong direction in a hurry. Fellow influencers are noting it ... putting it into a timeline. Megyn is in panic mode.

Shipiro, the Daily Caller, are cutting half their workforce. That's a clear sign that they're in trouble.

Views" are easy to find, and compare, on YouTube. Of course that doesn't count Spotify or X or Instagram or TicTok ... but I suspect that's it's a cross platform trend.

And I used first ten vs last ten podcast, within the 365 day time frame, from today to 1 May 25 to pull Tucker's numbers. When I looked back to 1 May 2024, the decline is even more pronounced. He was in a rapid growth phase mid 24.

Also, and I've read this in several places, Tucker's paid subscription numbers are already in the tank. Down 70+% since his TCN launch in 2023 which peaked, (paid), in January 26. He's hoping to pull lefties and Muslims now ... but they'll never pay him, not on an individual basis. Qatar is no doubt funding him through 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm led by Omeed Malik ... who Don Jr., has had a major falling out with. And both TPUSA and Clay Travis have both pulled out of 1789 Capital since Tucker went off the rails siding with Candace.

Candace's numbers are up but her paid subscriptions are bottoming out and advertisers are avoiding her like the plague. She's on a fast track to bankruptcy even before she loses all the lawsuits against her.

What’s the Qatar connection through 1789 Capital? I had never heard of it prior to your post but I read the wiki (I know I know how lazy of me). Also, I didn’t see anything about Don Jr. stepping away or being at odds with the company - I’m sure it’s awkward since Tucker has been railing against his father and brother-in-law.

Not sure why everyone thinks Tucker is pro-Islam like Shapiro is pro-Israel. Tucker lamented about Muslim immigration in this week’s podcast with MTG.
