Yes. How does the timing change anything he said?

-Non-binding offer sheet comes in

-Month (Nov) later, he counters. Demands $30 million/yr
-------DW politely declines and wishes him the best

-Couple days later, he participates in the DW election special

-Month later (Dec.) he registers BigCon.com

-Month Later (Jan) he texts Boering to chat. Records and edits for maximum deceptive effect.

-Week or 2 later, goes after DW for the ORIGINAL NON-BINDING OFFER SHEET

How does timing change anything he said? That's how!

Whether you believe him or not, he clarified it wasn't about him but those yet to come up in the movement as he referred to it.

Brett Cooper did a IG live going over her experience as a DW “young talent” and makes plenty of good points.

This time line changes nothing. He said what he said about the term sheet and the timing of it means nothing. If he says it November does that make it worse or better? What about December? Why would he bring any of that up when he's still under contract from the Blaze?

You're looking at this 100% from the perspective of a DW fan. That's fine. I'm admittedly more of a Crowder fan. I wish he would have done a better job bringing up his complaints and he's at fault here too, but that doesn't absolve all the actions of DW. I'm interested to see what Crowder has to say on Tim Pool's show Monday. I expect Tim to be fair and try and get his side of this. Ben has put their side out and you've decided that's the only side that matters. That's fine.

Crowder and DW both grift off the drama, but that's part of the business of what they do.

Crowder is throwing a fit because his agent solicited an offer, and the offer he was given asked him to keep doing what he already does.

Theres nothing genuine about his The Movement ™


Simultaneously, DW is running PR.

I was a fan of both. Pretty sure I was the first person ever to post Crowder content on this board, several years ago.

Crowder lost me in the last 24 hours.

People going to bat for Crowder on this seem way out of touch with reality. You're getting caught up in the emotionalism that Crowder wants you to be caught up in, IMO. He is defining the terms in the contract offer as penalties when, in reality, it's just basic business: If you lose money, we lose money, and that means we can't pay you as much.

You don't have to like that reality. It isn't the Daily Wire's fault any more than it's Crowder's fault that big tech censors everyone's content. But if Crowder should get banned, the Daily Wire doesn't want to just pay him whatever he wants to "back him up", as someone else suggested. Because they cannot afford to just pay him as an act of good will. They aren't an NFL franchise. Every single one of those people on DW faces censorship every day, and that makes their business model very volatile, financially. Crowder was set up to make a killing, no matter what, and yet he acts as if some grave injustice has been inflicted upon him.

And he secretly records this guy who is supposed to be his friend, and puts it on youtube? I have to agree with what Shapiro said about this, which is that Crowder had this planned for months as leverage to use against Daily Wire to bring people into his new platform that he's starting up.

Honestly, people need to open their eyes and really think about what Crowder is doing. It's not the least bit noble, from everything I've seen and heard.
