In this episode, we have a special guest, Dominique Trippi, join us to talk about The Daily Wire and what's going on with them. We discuss the enchilada that is the Daily Wire, the death of moderate conservatism, and the brave new world for conservatives as we enter into what media might look like in the near future.
00:04:54.880But we want to be in this space of, you know, of true conservative media, culture and politics
00:05:00.760and applying the scripture to all of life.
00:05:03.900And so we want to learn a few lessons ourselves and what's going on.
00:05:07.880Why is the Daily Wire that it seemed not that long ago is such a titan with household names, completely disrupted Fox News and seemed in many ways to take their place on the scene.
00:05:20.640And and yet it feels like, you know, Jesus parable, the four soils, you know, that one is on the rocky soil.
00:05:27.600But then the sun comes out and it withers.
00:05:29.660And so we want to talk about what's really going on behind the scenes with The Daily Wire and then our speculation, but then also some application and implications of what does this mean for us?
00:05:39.680What can we do? How can we be sure to be courageous and to not just take one hill and be content with that and then just try to monopolize, you know, and play it safe?
00:05:50.780But how can we keep moving the ball down the court in a way that honors God, in a way that is truly America first?
00:05:57.480So for this task, we have invited in the cold open, I mispronounced his name.
00:22:27.400And when you have people that are supposed to be influential figures saying that to a
00:22:32.500digital media audience who, like you said, is primarily under 45 and almost none of them
00:22:37.440want to hear that anymore it screams inauthenticity it screams straight up lying and i think that um
00:22:45.120i don't think they're going to be able to get out from under this i don't think there's any chance
00:22:48.740i agree yeah i think that at this point uh people people have seen a little bit too much you you
00:22:56.580know like they they've peeked behind the curtain and uh and like i said like not everybody's going
00:23:01.320to come to the same conclusion some guys are going to go further than others you know some
00:23:04.320people are going to say, well, Israel certainly shouldn't be our ally. And then other people are
00:23:08.220going to say, and also the Jews are responsible for everything. So there's a lot of wiggle room
00:23:12.540in between those positions and people will land at different places on this scale. But to say,
00:23:18.760to take the position of Israel is our greatest ally, they can do no wrong. And it's great
00:23:25.540that we have a ton of federally elected individuals with dual citizenship.
00:23:32.780you know like that that position is just indefensible at this point people have seen too
00:23:38.060much um it's it's just not going to work out and and like we said i was going to say financially
00:23:43.760like it's one thing of like well we got this person on our team they contribute we don't agree
00:23:47.400and we'll push back publicly but candace owens it was the feud with her and ben shapiro that led to
00:23:51.940her departure you're letting someone go out the door supposedly her and brett cooper were two of
00:23:56.500the last really profitable shows they had willing to see hundreds of thousands to potentially
00:24:01.120millions of dollars walk out the door over your opinion on that that's when it goes from hey we're
00:24:06.520all under one roof i think the blaze does this really well they have a bunch of different
00:24:09.580contributors who have different views but they're not trying to gatekeep or not trying to say like
00:24:13.500hey you're on our network you can't say x y and z right we've got our differences but as long as
00:24:17.940you sign this contract you're producing you're doing all that no big deal daily wire said we'll
00:24:22.900let you we'll let millions of dollars we'll let your influence walk out the door over this single
00:24:27.960issue legitimately we have differences on other things but if you're not down with this we're
00:24:32.700content to see you walk and i mean like you can't be bad when you make that your test and the money
00:24:37.520walks away and it keeps walking away and i think that's the name of the game so dominic i i agree
00:24:42.720with you 100 that's kind of the lingo that you know me and some of our constituents have been
00:24:46.960using is woke wars one woke wars two i think there's a lot of guys on the right who you know
00:24:53.280they they they fought they fought valiantly were grateful for what they did you know they were like
00:24:57.800social justice is a scam um wokeness is a scam crt is a scam all these kinds of things but really
00:25:04.440at the end of the day that's like their commitment is still to 20th century liberalism they're like
00:25:09.620it's there there's a difference you know i i tweeted out the other day i said um historic
00:25:14.040christianity is greater than 20th century liberalism wearing a christian skin suit
00:25:19.120and that's where we're finding i think that's the dividing line today right there's like a ton of
00:25:23.920different issues israel is one of them uh what is an american is one of them heritage america like
00:25:29.000h1b visas you know all the way that immigration um you know who should be uh able to vote you
00:25:35.060know like there's a million different issues feminism you know the 19th amendment there's
00:25:39.120all these different things but if i was to sum it up right because a lot of people want to know
00:25:43.480where are the battle lines what what is it what is it you know if you could sum it up you know
00:25:48.080give it a central rallying cry. Basically, I think the battle today is historic Christianity
00:25:54.740versus 20th century liberalism wearing a Christian skin suit. That's what it is. Because for the0.76
00:26:01.440longest time, I tried to make it more ideological. And for me, because I'm a pastor, you know, I
00:26:07.200tried to, for me, the ideology would have been theology. And so for me, I was like, well, it's
00:26:12.220eschatology. You know, there's guys who are pessimistic in their eschatology, you know,
00:26:15.800their dispensational pre-mill and you know they've just checked out of the culture war because jesus
00:26:20.500is going to come back next thursday and then there's post-millennial guys and like you know
00:26:26.560i i tried to i tried to think like it's that you know it's there's got to be some theological
00:26:30.980reason uh but but then you know the you know a year goes by two years go by and you realize
00:26:37.720no that's that's actually not it because there's guys who are post-millennial um but but in their
00:26:43.460day-to-day life in terms of their their active strategy you know and their mission um their
00:26:48.600post-millennialism all it amounts to at the end of the day is yes christ will win gradually
00:26:53.260progressively not despite a losing church but through the church and he will do it thoroughly
00:26:58.340successfully in 50 000 years but for now we need to support our greatest ally you know and i'm like
00:27:05.520and so it turns out that like post-millennial you can be post-millennial and still be a zionist
00:27:10.760100 100 and and you know and so anyway so i'm looking at these things and i'm realizing okay
00:27:18.140this is what it comes down to um who who likes john calvin and who would excommunicate calvin
00:27:25.280who likes athanasius and who would excommunicate athanasius who likes you know who um who will
00:27:32.440take tours lead tours of a bunch of reformed christians you know and go and visit luther's
00:27:38.160graveside but also if luther was alive today would excommunicate luther you know and and that's
00:27:45.000basically what i realized is like okay when it comes to picking your team um i decided like i
00:27:50.900think i i think i want to be on the team of the guys who um who aren't just agreeing with the
00:27:57.020soteriology of luther or calvin or whatever but who actually um actually think that you know that
00:28:04.720maybe there were real christians before the 1940s and and i think that's the dividing so the woke
00:28:11.220war one they were like yeah let's you know let's get back to the 1980s you know the the good old
00:28:16.760the good old years and and they're just content to do that that's that's enough for them um woke
00:28:22.120war two is guys who are like no we haven't won yet that's that's a victory we're grateful for
00:28:27.040but we still need to push the ball forward they're the guys who are asking questions like what is an
00:28:31.140american and and you know you joel barry's of the world are like well any anyone who has uh american
00:28:38.140citizenship and it's like but but we want to speak that way with any other country i could attain
00:28:43.020japanese citizenship probably not but maybe maybe they let me do it but i'd never be japanese and
00:28:49.000i said well that's because it's japan you know that's different they're asian you know well you
00:28:52.160could do the same thing in europe like i i could attain french citizenship i'll never be a french
00:28:56.560management i never will be i'll never be a brit you know and so um but in america anyone from
00:29:03.860anywhere like it's like there's two people in the world two categories there are americans and
00:29:07.460potential americans what what who lives in india 1.3 billion potential americans live in india
00:29:13.020and and i think a lot of people are like that is insane that's ridiculous nobody ever thought this
00:29:19.440way no one in all of human history ever thought this way even it's not even just historic
00:29:23.880christianity at this point it's just historic humanity pagans didn't think this way muslims
00:29:28.800didn't think this way nobody has thought this way ever ever and and some guys are just like the
00:29:36.080james lindseys of the world they didn't like wokeness the reason they fought in woke wars one
00:29:40.500is because they didn't want to be replaced by minorities in in the halls of academia right0.90
00:29:46.920that's all it was for them for them it was literally just securing their job
00:29:50.260but but for others of us we're like no like we actually want we want to secure you know the
00:29:57.440potential and the freedom and the jobs you know and and the heritage not just for ourselves but
00:30:01.660for our children's children we want to fight a little further we want to go a little further
00:30:06.580and so everything is just fracturing and I and I think it's going to continue to so all that
00:30:11.440being said the last thing I was going to mention is I think the name of the game right now is back
00:30:15.360to what you were saying west um blaze has it has its own problems but here's the thing with blaze
00:30:21.000it's um you can point to you know it's less institutional that there are some institutional
00:30:26.720but it's more like this you know this contributor this contributor but i like this contributor and
00:30:31.320i like this contributor and i think that the model that the blaze has like for one it's like
00:30:36.780like 40 50 different contributors i can name five of them um you know so that model versus daily
00:30:42.360wire and and the biggest thing is not gatekeeping and not trying to steamroll and centralize
00:30:48.520everything and so what i think moving forward is we're probably going to have a lot of smaller
00:30:53.300voices um you know and and people are just it's going to be decentralized everybody's going to
00:30:59.080have their guy i listen to joel i listen to isker i listen to this guy i listen to that guy
00:31:03.020you're going to have a lot of that and you still need you need comrades in arms you still need that
00:31:09.000That's inescapable. But I think loose coalitions, loose coalitions is the name of the game where where you can have friendship, real friendship and and not have friendly fire, not not turn on each other and and try to destroy each other because you disagree on one issue.
00:31:27.600So loose coalitions that are working towards the same general thing, but then you have to iron out what is that general thing.
00:31:35.320And I think if you could sum it up, it's liberalism.
00:31:41.060We have to beat 20th century liberalism.
00:31:43.260I'll give you the final word, Dominique, and then we'll go to a commercial break.
00:31:47.040So just one last point regarding the troubles that Daily Wire is experiencing.
00:31:52.060I think one of the foundational reasons for, we'll call it their downfall, is just the sheer hypocrisy in which they operate.
00:31:59.480I mean, these are the people that very famously espoused, facts are not your feelings.
00:32:04.060But then all of a sudden, when we try to bring up completely unbiased and really not any facts that have any ulterior motives, I'm stating them,
00:32:13.900they immediately just try to discredit, smear, and essentially slander anyone that brings them up.
00:32:20.520So I just think that the fact that, you know, they so defiantly were talking about that only facts dictate the truth and only facts are going to be our guiding light for them to so outwardly ignore many of the things that people are seeing in front of their eyes, like the fact that we created a task force for October 7th when we're not even the country that was affected by it.
00:32:43.460We created a task force for anti-Semitism on college campuses where we're deporting people that are legally here, even though I don't necessarily want them to be here to begin with.0.96
00:32:52.500The excuse for deporting them instead of actively trying to deport the 40 or up to 50 million illegal immigrants that are here in the United States today, it just shows that they're just they're out of touch and they appear, you know, is it that they're out of touch or that they're naive or is it that they're being intentionally deceptive?0.90
00:33:11.780And I believe that it's the latter.1.00
00:33:13.460I agree. All right, let's go to our first commercial break and then we will be right back.

00:34:24.760duty before God and not to have their consciences ruled by the doctrines and commandments of men.
00:34:29.400Reese Fund exists in order to see the Ten Commandments properly applied, not just as a
00:34:33.860plaque on the wall, but to actually be used in business as though they're commandments from
00:34:38.360God that we're supposed to obey. Our goal is to find businesses and to buy them and to build them
00:34:44.520up. We want to find manufacturing businesses and use them to make sure that we can maintain our
00:34:49.200capacity to do things here. Reese Fund, Christian Capital, boldly deployed.
00:34:57.340All right, welcome back. Dominique, all you. You tweeted out over the weekend. You're hearing it.
00:35:03.860that the daily wire is apparently looking at bankruptcy attorneys tell us more
00:35:11.220yes so um so i actually have a bit of a friendship with ian carroll and i also have a bit of a
00:35:16.820friendship with uh one of these reporters that he called out brett cooper leaving two weeks before
00:35:22.660it happened he called out jeremy boring leaving before it actually happened he's a gentleman by
00:35:27.380the name of jeremy lee and so he on private channels was telling me that there was turmoil
00:35:33.940that they were thinking about hiring or excuse me firing their public relations director who
00:35:39.540supposedly is very chummy with jeremy boring and also contributed to some of the toxic culture that
00:35:44.820we hear about there but um excuse me but basically i had heard that there was troubles and i reached
00:35:53.380out to a couple other people that i knew had sources there and they told me that it was quite
00:35:57.060a bit worse than uh people actually knew and that they were looking at officially hiring a bankruptcy
00:36:03.380attorney or not that they were looking to but they officially did hire a bankruptcy attorney and i
00:36:08.400will say allegedly because i am unable to confirm that other than through this source although
00:36:13.560daily wire has not denied it but um yeah i mean basically we found out that it's just cascading
00:36:21.240the issues they've had over the last several weeks that we've learned about um that culminated in
00:36:25.280jeremy leaving and then we started to kind of go through the fact uh about the animation department
00:36:31.420about the fact that 25 of their staff was being laid off and so the bankruptcy attorney was
00:36:38.460allegedly hired because i mean it appears they're going through a formal restructuring and i mean
00:36:44.440that it does make a bit of sense considering the fact that they did let two of their most
00:36:49.280profitable creators go by far but i will say you know in 2023 uh now it's a private company so
00:36:57.260these these financials are not public but axios reported that they were uh their valuation was
00:37:02.760north of one billion dollars and then also uh in may of 2024 axios also reported that they made
00:37:09.300over 23 million dollars just in commerce in 2023 so they certainly have made money and i think it
00:37:17.540goes it speaks to just the severity of some of these decisions that jeremy boring made
00:37:23.520especially with his ventures into trying to create major hollywood films and these animated
00:37:28.740series like i touched on um i think that there was just totally unscrupulous uh terrible financial
00:37:35.380decisions made and yeah that that's what's happening now can can you tell us dominique
00:37:40.060real quick um honing on jeremy so we did an episode uh talking you know when when he first
00:37:45.340announced um or it was announced that he was going to be stepping down as co-ceo um but i yeah i've
00:37:54.400heard a thing or two but i i don't feel comfortable saying anything because i i can't i can't confirm
00:37:59.140and if and if you don't feel comfortable either because you can't confirm but um but if you have
00:38:03.840anything that you feel like is is fairly you know reliable i i've just i've heard that um it's on
00:38:12.000one level, it's the financial decisions of, okay, you've got a political, cultural, pundit
00:38:19.120media business, which yes, we do need good conservative art and media and entertainment
00:38:27.720and stuff for kids. I agree with that vision, but you have to know what you have. You know what I
00:38:32.960mean? You have to know what you have. And The Daily Wire is predominantly, it's Ben Shapiro,
00:38:37.680Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, talking about, it's a daily show. It's a
00:38:41.980daily show on politics that's what it is and and it's one thing to say you know this is our bread
00:38:47.500and butter this is what you know what brings home the bacon and how everybody gets paid this is
00:38:52.980what's viable and uh but we're going to put a little bit aside and we're going to try to make
00:38:57.560you know one good film you know we're going to try to make a program a tv show for kids um but but
00:39:03.480it's but it's a whole other thing to say we're going to spend you know a hundred million dollars
00:39:08.420in the course of just a few years, you know, producing Hollywood level films, which we'll all
00:39:15.960have a female protagonist, you know, there'll be conservative, good conservative films, except
00:39:21.980everything you would imagine a young man doing, it'll be a chick. Because we're not that
00:39:27.900conservative, you know, you know, so run, hide, fight, you know, whatever. But, but it's, but to
00:39:33.720do it at that level it did kind of seem like at some at some point it felt like it's one thing to
00:39:40.480do this on the side but remember what your main business model is like what what the daily wire
00:39:45.680is but but then at a certain point it felt like now ben shapiro and walsh and knowles they the
00:39:53.440daily show the daily political analysis just exists to to to fund uh jeremy's you know kind
00:40:01.280of hollywood career like like i you know i grew up in like more you know charismatic churches and
00:40:05.960and you always had those guys on the worship band it's like this guy clearly like his dream was to
00:40:11.860be like in a rock band right you know and uh and uh sunday morning worship team is his way of trying
00:40:17.680to fulfill that you know he's like like we're singing a song and then he's like ripping like
00:40:22.580a guitar solo you know and and um it's like it's a little bit too much um and so it seems like
00:40:28.260that's kind of what jeremy was doing uh so one just the business model of like is is is the daily
00:40:32.960wire just your stepping stone for fulfilling your hollywood dream and then and then second
00:40:38.640uh second thing is i have heard and but but i want to give it to you dominique uh but i have heard
00:40:45.100that interacting with jeremy uh boring wasn't necessarily a picnic you know just personality
00:40:51.840wise is there anything that you can say from from your sources that would be reliable
00:40:56.740uh in in either of those arenas uh absolutely so what i've and i'll just i'll just say who said it
00:41:06.140because he has said it publicly as well but a journalist friend of mine jeremy lee he has said
00:41:11.400that sources within the daily wire that actually work there said that jeremy boring was one of the
00:41:16.660biggest prima donnas uh just a basically a terrible guy extremely difficult to work with
00:41:22.880someone that caused division within their office where people are taking sides you know are you on
00:41:28.060Jeremy's team are you on Matt Walsh's team that type of situation and exactly what you said about
00:41:34.460sort of his illusions of grandeur as far as being a Hollywood star or whatever his aspirations were
00:41:41.040I think that's very evident just in the way that not only the many different projects that that he
00:41:46.920attempted to do which he was featured in but also quite frankly and not to personally insult the guy
00:41:52.200but he just appeared to be unnatural on camera like he was forcing it anyways like he was
00:41:58.860trying to force this dry humor and trying to force himself to be someone that was deserving
00:42:04.500of having an on-camera opportunity and i just don't think the guy was really that likable i
00:42:09.100don't think he was really that talented and i think that i think that actually bled over to
00:42:13.760some of his business decisions and of course i don't know their their precise financials but i
00:42:18.540know that plenty of people have gone on record saying that he is not a good person to deal with0.94
00:42:24.780and that frankly he's stupid as far as many of his aims so there is validity to those claims 1000.90
00:42:31.000and i think that you're actually going to hear some more about that um from candace owens this0.98
00:42:36.900week because when the pr director admitted that she resigned i saw that candace actually went
00:42:42.900after a bit and said well now i'm no longer contractually obligated to keep secrets about
00:42:47.200you if you're no longer part of the con the company so thank you very much for admitting it publicly
00:42:51.680so i think you're going to see much more about this um let's be honest guys you know
00:42:56.480where when there's smoke there's fire and we're seeing a heck of a lot of smoke right now yeah
00:43:01.520that's that's helpful i think um you know just just from an outsider perspective um
00:43:07.360god king is a pretty bold nickname i mean like to be fair accessible christians to be yeah for
00:43:14.560for an evangelical christian like and let's be fair lowercase g right lowercase k but still like
00:43:21.740i mean and you mentioned like well i got to say this because it's just it's just way too relevant
00:43:26.500for myself um you know so elephant in the room uh i even last night my wife and i you know the
00:43:33.120last week i've gotten so many i don't know if you know this dominique um there's a lot of people
00:43:38.640don't like me so like so you mentioned likability and it's like i'm i'm not that likable wes we're
00:43:47.000friends we hang out a lot i like you okay west likes me but he's like autistic so there's a
00:43:55.240few but you're the same thing as me yeah he's like yeah like you're weird i'm weird you know
00:43:59.540so like michael likes me you know but both of them are paid to like me you know but but let's
00:44:03.660be real not pay very much i don't want to cut you off but you're most certainly like well you're
00:44:10.480just not likable to people that despise the truth especially ones that are inconvenient especially
00:44:15.560ones that kind of shake you up when you say hey you know this is a christian country and these
00:44:19.840are the steps that we need to take these are the people that should be voting this is the0.99
00:44:23.500traditional family structure we need to have women deserve a secondary role because that's0.98
00:44:28.020what god intended and i think that many of the things that you say those were the norm they were0.87
00:44:34.040the decades for hundreds of years like i've seen here throughout the world and the fact that these
00:44:39.740people ignore the truth that's right in front of their eyes that they know are they really so
00:44:44.960naive or do they are they really so overconfident to think that they are smarter than everyone over
00:44:51.020the course of human history i do not i think you're very likable and there was a reason why
00:44:55.580i was excited to join the show today so just keep doing what you're doing man sorry to cut you off
00:44:59.600no i appreciate that i appreciate that that's super encouraging super encouraging i need that
00:45:05.500um thank you but i that that's what i think you know like i it's funny because i i describe
00:45:12.760myself to a lot of people is um i honestly like like wes will tell you like i'm i'm a moderate
00:45:19.720it i'm kind of squishy sometimes i'm like what is this like i'll tweet things out and west will
00:45:25.100just straight up like just i i gotta i gotta defend my boy west you know because some guys
00:45:29.760like i'll tweet things out yesterday i tweeted something uh uh you know metrics for who should
00:45:35.260be allowed which was a quote of matt walsh who was doing a great job yeah matt walsh he he tweeted
00:45:39.480something i thought it was pretty good pretty good you know i'm you know i'm proud of him he's
00:45:45.440you know baby steps you know baby steps and uh and so he was like these are the people who should
00:45:49.260vote you know you should be married you should be this you should be that um it was like welfare
00:45:53.540yeah not taking welfare paying taxes you know and be married you know those kind of things
00:45:58.140um and i was like hey you know that's a good start and so then i tweeted out my version you
00:46:02.660know i just retweeted them and i said you should be a third generation american um and and you
00:46:08.820should um not take welfare i agree with that christian you should be christian um you should
00:46:14.620be white no i'm just kidding i didn't say that but third generation american you should be christian
00:46:21.080you should be what else did i say west male uh male yep so head of household you should be male
00:46:26.640uh repeal the 19th right i think that's a moderate position i think you know so so i just said
00:46:32.000typical moderate things and west like you know guys are like swarming west you know offline you
00:46:36.900know guys who follow the show and they're like west like come get your boy what is this like0.98
00:47:12.020But we were a little concerned that he said that, you know, that ultimately what would stop the Me Too movement is just a few executions.0.91
00:47:25.200I said, look, here's this is the book of Deuteronomy.
00:47:27.740This is just scripture that whatever the charges that you're levying towards someone else, whatever the penalty would be if they were found guilty.
00:47:34.300if it turns out that you're lying in a court of law then the same penalty that would have fallen0.78
00:47:39.420on their head falls on your head right into the biblical penalty for r-a-p-e um is death and if0.50
00:47:46.580it turns out you're lying about that then death would be the penalty that you get very moderate
00:47:51.180position super super chill eye for an eye tooth for a tooth eye for an eye tooth for a tooth life
00:47:55.640for a life yeah so this is like basic christianity everybody you know held to these kinds of views
00:47:59.860not that long ago but people lose their minds so anyways but back to likable my wife and i were
00:48:04.380talking you know last night and she was like joel like you're always in trouble i love you like we'll
00:48:10.780sit down we'll watch full episodes together so that you know because the clip will go viral so
00:48:14.280she can get the context and she's like yeah i agree with that and she was like is there anything
00:48:18.260you can do and i was like sweetheart i i don't know if there is because um at the end of the day
00:48:23.140like brian silvey has a handlebar mustache writes love songs about his daughters right you know what
00:48:30.120i mean and is chuckling you know and has this ongoing you know rapport and and uh with you
00:48:36.000know with ben and like like some people are just going to be more likable than others and so my
00:48:40.840point in all that as it pertains to our topic today with jeremy is i'm sympathetic i'm like
00:48:45.660i'm not you know i'm sympathetic if a guy's just not likable but but there's a difference in the
00:48:51.480random person on the other side of the world watching your content not liking you because
00:48:55.460they're a leftist you know or a reformed christian but i you know i'm being redundant at this point
00:49:01.500but like they're a leftist and and and they hate your position and therefore they don't like you
00:49:06.800but there's like dominique is saying but there's another level when it's like
00:49:10.300when somebody in house doesn't like you like like lots of people don't like joel webbin
00:49:16.640but people in our church like like michael you're like yeah joel sometimes you're a little spicy
00:49:21.460you but but um but michael knows me west knows me the members of our church know me so when somebody
00:49:29.020digs up you know my sin real sin but from 12 and a half years ago our church uh doesn't bat an eye
00:49:35.100they're like we know you we know you're like people think i'm arrogant but they're like even
00:49:40.660the clips that go viral is like i'm the best uh the best we got our church was there for the sermon0.98
00:49:44.840they're like yeah that came on the heels of 10 minutes of you talking about how retarded you are0.94
00:49:49.280and how like the christendom that you're working towards you wouldn't even be uh able to be0.94
00:49:53.500licensed to preach you know like not even youth pastor right i'm not even allowed to be a youth
00:49:58.520pastor and the christendom the ideal that i'm working towards and all that was in the sermon
00:50:02.980but 30 seconds gets deceitfully clipped out so people in my orbit this is the point people in
00:50:08.820my orbit my wife my kids my parents who are members in our church michael wes um all the
00:50:14.580other members in our church our board 80 robles they're all like like they are constantly telling0.99
00:50:19.220me joel maybe confess to a few less people and maybe um maybe don't talk about how dumb you are0.96
00:50:25.240you know and share like your iq with you know every like you're you're you're too authentic0.98
00:50:31.020you're you're too honest and and sometimes you beat yourself up a little bit too much0.99
00:50:35.180everybody else in in in the internet world they're like he's a jerk you know he's full of himself0.97
00:50:40.660whatever but for Jeremy it seems like from what I hear it seems like it's the opposite0.97
00:50:45.120and that I think is when there's a problem when when outside you know the people who don't know
00:50:51.540you who are just watching lady ballers or whatever they're like hey he seems like a great guy but
00:50:56.540everyone who knows you is like he wouldn't stand up for us I feel underpaid he won't listen to our
00:51:03.940view he like that to me that's what's most concerning Doug Wilson has said this in the
00:51:09.040past i think he's absolutely right a man's greatest credentials um is the laughter at his
00:51:15.480family dinner table do your kids love you right does your wife love you do the people who actually
00:51:21.360know you who really know who work for you your duty to them as their boss as the president
00:51:26.120right like my whole life by in this all the grace of god it's not me but by the grace of god
00:51:30.840my whole life has been um look nathan nathan you can vouch for that my whole life has been
00:51:37.480being underpaid because i keep giving other people too much money
00:51:41.360that that's pretty much my entire life um i'm like hey you know what i want to take care of you
00:51:49.200hey i want to want to take care of you um like right now i'm actively thinking like can i can
00:51:55.080i take half of my salary with the church so that we can pay other elders to shepherd the sheep
00:52:00.260more thoroughly uh that's that's just how i think from what i hear that is not how jeremy boring
00:52:07.640thinks dominique any thoughts you know something as far as his likability or favorability goes i
00:52:14.720just want to remind people like it's not like there's some isolated incident like just a few
00:52:18.500weeks ago people decided jeremy boring's a bad guy i mean you remember as far back as the whole
00:52:23.140stephen crowder thing he had very terrible things to say about jeremy boring and the entire company
00:58:21.280There's a charitable thing besides – because that also casts him in a light where it kind of besmirches him a little bit to say, well, even if you knew that, you were selling out a little bit, right?
00:58:42.220the most charitable approach would be um 2019 2020 2021 that he was he was going hard on some
00:58:51.440issues that at that moment um were formidable they like at that moment dei looked like it was0.80
00:58:59.880going to win the day right transgenderism looked like it was going to win the day and so it's0.68
00:59:04.920perfectly acceptable for him to say you know what i'm going to go hard on these issues nobody has0.94
00:59:10.240to like we we have to keep nobody um has a moral obligation to be prolific nobody has to be an
00:59:16.140expert in and everything it is perfectly acceptable like there's some youtube channels where it's like
00:59:20.720the guy just talks about one thing over and over and over again and sometimes he'll get flack and
00:59:24.540people be like why don't you talk about this and it's like well that's that's not what i do and
00:59:28.060that's okay it's okay to to i'm gonna make you know two or three things my bread and butter and
00:59:33.760i'm just gonna go hard on these things and so that is the most charitable take and i'm happy to to
00:59:38.960give that charity to matt and say um that it wasn't just you know in a back room he's you know
00:59:44.520he got the call from from you know ben shapiro um you know best best most charitable take that we
00:59:50.260can say is that um in 2020 2021 like we were in woke wars one and in woke wars one the most
00:59:57.500pressing issue was um was are we are we ever going to hire white people again and are all of our0.98
01:00:05.240planes going to be uh flown by by female black lesbians who aren't qualified and is everyone0.98
01:00:12.780going to die like that was a real question in 2021 you know and and we're seeing the fruit of0.98
01:00:17.640it now but but a lot of that battle you know there's still the implications rolling out you
01:00:21.940know with you know but a lot of the battle has been won praise god and so maybe we could say
01:00:27.340you know that that was the focus and now he's able to focus on other things all right so let's
01:00:31.380what i want to do is go ahead ask dominique what do you see as what to look for next for the daily
01:00:37.060wire now let's let's talk daily wire but let's talk broader than that let's talk like for
01:00:41.760ourselves let's talk for dominique but let's just talk like moving into the future um what what is
01:00:48.540going what's who's going to make it and what's going to be what what is the quintessential
01:00:53.780you you've got to you know what's the dividing line what what what is going to make it or break
01:00:58.820it for media as we move into the future so as far as what i anticipate um as far as the daily
01:01:09.320wire is concerned i think that there are a lot of interests that want to keep a daily wire around
01:01:15.720you can assume what interests those might be but it is it is a fairly large company with a fairly
01:01:21.740large reputation it would be a very big public loss for them to go down and it'd be very visible
01:01:28.520for people so i don't think that they're going to go fully belly up i think there likely could
01:01:33.020be some significant company restructuring because it does appear evident that they had some some
01:01:38.060very poor financial decisions being made i think that matt walsh is going to leave the daily wire
01:01:44.740before the end of the summer and the reason why is because i think that he senses the direction
01:01:50.600that the wind is blowing i think that the main separators as far as conservative commentary are
01:01:57.120concerned are people that still actually speak and uphold uh conservative christian values people
01:02:03.060that actually talk about christianity people that actually talk about things like race people that
01:02:07.880actually talk about things like israel and i do understand that oftentimes you know you see
01:02:13.280especially like the trump administration they discourage every single conversation about that
01:02:18.220when's the last time you've heard any of these major figures speak about um like the assault on
01:02:23.700white people going across the entire world you know places like london were 90 percent white in
01:02:28.8201970 now it's 35 even america you know in 1950 we were 89.5 percent white today it's something like
01:02:36.08059 so you used to hear those sort of talking points prior to trump winning the election now
01:02:42.440you're not hearing him at all because everyone's just saying oh if you're too far if you're hitting
01:02:46.420us from the right you're not part of the team and we're going to try to ostracize you so i think
01:02:50.500ultimately matt is going to be guided by truth and justice i think he made some money for a while
01:02:55.600i think maybe he decided to not uh emphasize certain points for quite some time i think he's
01:03:02.880a good man though and i think that ultimately you know the statement the truth will set you free
01:03:06.820i think he's due for a for a healthy scoop of freedom here soon that's my prediction
01:03:11.080yep do you have a background in law and bankruptcy just to be able to kind of explain when a company
01:03:16.580files chapter 11, what kind of actually goes on, the way they cut departments, the way they move
01:03:22.420things around, new owners could come in. Are you able to explain that? I don't want to put you on
01:03:25.960the spot if you'd be forced to speculate. No, no. So I don't have a legal background,
01:03:29.560but funny enough, I actually do have some experience with bankruptcy, not me personally,
01:03:33.720but for anybody that knows me out there, I actually got into sort of the political media
01:03:38.720sphere, if you will, through a close personal friend of mine by the name of Owen Schroyer.
01:03:43.000And he works for no one, none other than Mr. Alex Jones, who has gone through perhaps one of the largest bankruptcy cases almost in history.
01:03:52.440He was he was sued for something to the tune of one point four trillion dollars.
01:03:57.300And so his company, in order to kind of keep his house, keep his car, keep, you know, his sort of personal life sustainable,
01:04:06.020he tried to file bankruptcy for InfoWars, which is owned by a company called Free Speech Systems, LLC.
01:04:13.980And so what I can tell people is that the bankruptcy process is extremely complicated.
01:04:21.460It's not really something that someone that's not a lawyer should be going to the weeds on.
01:04:25.920So I will just say that just because someone hired a bankruptcy attorney doesn't necessarily mean that they're filing for bankruptcy.
01:04:34.240it may mean that they just need to do such significant restructuring to their company
01:04:39.620that there wouldn't be really no one else more qualified to do that than an attorney that does
01:04:43.660that so that's just a little bit of what i think about it it could be uh we're hiring you because
01:04:48.920we're trying to avoid going to bankruptcy and what do we need to do preemptively what would
01:04:53.480you know what would be the tipping point where we're no longer able to pull it back from the edge
01:04:57.900right yeah it could be a flag for help too as well like a filing bankruptcy is not a
01:05:03.040like red lobster every red lobster in the united states shuts down tomorrow right rather we're
01:05:07.300declaring that we're in distress we're looking for buyers we're looking for investors we have a lot
01:05:12.000of exciting things so just because you hire an attorney and even if you declare chapter 11
01:05:16.420that doesn't mean the next day they're coming in they're moving out of the office it rather means
01:05:20.560some things could significantly change but practically speaking what that does mean is
01:05:24.780that you have the biggest conservative media company in the united states looking at a very
01:05:30.480questionable shaky future at the very least maybe not if they will exist but what in what form they
01:05:36.360will exist right yeah and it's important for the audience to know too that there's a big difference
01:05:40.200between chapter 7 bankruptcy and chapter 11 bankruptcy uh i believe the latter is restructuring
01:05:46.160with the intention of meaning a business so if there was anything going on at the daily wire
01:05:50.900i don't think it has anything to do with them potentially closing but i do and i mean honestly
01:05:56.140guys how long can they really continue to exist if they um continuously put out these talking
01:06:04.640points that are are very evidently so unpopular with the viewers i mean it's they're dropping
01:06:10.660like flies and i just don't know how much longer they can kind of keep up this facade of no we're
01:06:16.660doing fine and no everything's good and just to also put something in perspective you know these
01:06:21.840reports that came out over the weekend he ben did the interview with megan kelly saying they were
01:06:26.900fine that was six seven days ago so that was actually before any of this stuff came out we
01:06:32.420already know there has been issues confirmed by people leaving especially jeremy boring so
01:06:37.400i just think they're kind of doing this tightrope act and you know this isn't just my opinion but i
01:06:43.840think they're lying and i think the audience senses that they're lying and i just am not too
01:06:48.280sure what the future is in media for people that so clearly seem to be aligned with a particular
01:06:54.040agenda so let me ask you this um what what do you think the future is so now getting beyond the daily
01:07:01.240wire um what do you think the future because right now it feels like the left like the hard left
01:07:08.660you know transgenderism and you know well you know all you know whatever kamala that that kind
01:07:15.620of that platform was handedly defeated obviously there's still some raging leftists who are never
01:07:20.920going to put the woke away and who are going to double down um and praise god for it you know
01:07:25.780that's great you know that just makes our job easier um but it does seem like you know some
01:07:31.660people have you know seen the light and are kind of you know moving towards the center you know
01:07:36.960gavin newsom trying to you know rebrand himself with charlie kirk you know those kinds of things
01:07:41.520and it seems like MAGA has won so handedly that it's it's almost like I feel like you know the
01:07:50.660battle now is not going to be so much MAGA versus the left but internally on the right you know
01:07:59.060and it's not just that MAGA defeated the left the hard left but it seems like MAGA may have
01:08:04.580defeated your you know your your bushes you know and and and romney's like even you know
01:08:11.360and cheney neocons yeah the the neocons might have gotten beaten the worst out of everybody
01:08:17.220um it seems like that like they may be done forever you know and and so my point is um you
01:08:23.200kind of had two parties you know the the left and the neocons maga came in and just just crushed
01:08:29.120both of them and uh but we i don't think we're going to be moving away from the two-party system
01:08:34.240anytime soon and taking politics out of it but in terms of media and and and what we're trying
01:08:40.320to do and others what do you think what do you think the future holds like do you think do you
01:08:46.240think it's what i'm saying like decentralized you know just a bunch of you know small contributors
01:08:50.420um could anybody rise to the top in this environment again or are the major players
01:08:56.440already set right is it just going to be you know you've got some of your legacy guys who arrived
01:09:01.34020 years ago you know look with notoriety like tucker you know and and they'll continue to have
01:09:06.660that status you know and until their careers you know um you know until they retire and and you
01:09:13.520know or do you think can any can something like the daily wire ever happen again are the conditions
01:09:19.680even there do they even exist to where you know somebody could build something further right and
01:09:26.540and attain that kind of influence or is it just going to be a lot of little guys
01:09:31.540so my perspective is that first of all i want to preface this by saying that it's fantastic
01:09:39.380that the far left some of these crazy ideologies that we all are so wholeheartedly against it's
01:09:46.400terrific that they're on their heels and it appears that they've lost that that war and that
01:09:51.020hopefully it's it's eliminated from our society but this is unfortunate and again i voted for
01:09:56.080trump three times i consider myself to be conservative but you said this the other day
01:09:59.860joel with conservatives like these who needs liberals the art art movement if you will the
01:10:06.280mag of movement effectively and most noticeably after the july assassination attempt on donald
01:10:13.620trump when elon musk threw his hat in the arena with this crazy amount of money by virtue of doing
01:10:21.720that and also by by purchasing x and essentially turning it into uh i mean let's be honest people
01:10:28.460are paid on x to give their opinions elon musk is very closely and openly associated with donald
01:10:33.860trump he owns this platform so that effectively almost makes it paid political propaganda
01:10:39.660considering that you're literally paid to do it and the things that are trending and the most
01:10:43.920popular are typically pro elon pro trump material but i think what's happened is the maga movement
01:10:50.200which was based in nationalistic pro-native populist sentiments has effectively been dragged
01:10:57.260to the left really to the center left because any of these things that that conservatives are
01:11:03.700supposed to be standing for things like uh just just overall degeneracy like we saw this whole
01:11:09.300thing this alleged incident with robert f kennedy jr you know some of these sexual misgivings and
01:11:15.060things of that nature and what were what was the response you started to see you started seeing
01:11:19.840people say things like oh who cares i don't care how many women he slept with i don't care if he's
01:11:24.420disrespected his wife and his family and you know his wife uh committed suicide and apparently the
01:11:30.840reason was due to his infidelity and this was back i believe in the early 90s or late 80s so
01:11:35.500the point is though is yes i think that we have forgotten what being conservative in america really
01:11:42.260is and that is not uh being aligned with these huge corporations or elon musk or any of that
01:11:48.780And another sign that things have so drastically changed is you just look who is in attendance of the inauguration.
01:11:54.600You've got guys like Sam Altman, guy that participates in surrogacy and homosexual, all that stuff.
01:11:59.940You've got Elon Musk. You've got Jeff Bezos. You've got Bill Gates.
01:12:03.560You've got all of these entities that the Trump sphere swore legioncy to fight against.
01:12:11.560And now you see all these people are lining up to cozy up to the administration.
01:12:15.960So I think that you're seeing the right be co-opted by this new force and how that relates to media.
01:12:24.060I think the people that have the courage, that have the intellect, that have the ording ability to actually effectively combat this sort of new deep state, if you will.
01:12:36.040I think those are the people that are going to be very successful in this new hyper competitive media landscape.
01:12:40.980and i think you're actually seeing that um today in the shift in popularity of some of these major
01:12:46.420figures and i also do think that is why a guy like matt walsh um is sort of sensing the direction the
01:12:51.720wind is blowing and starting to intensify some of his talking points yeah well said michael west
01:12:58.080any thoughts i was just gonna say i can think too some of the things the daily wire has done
01:13:02.460you talked about these are our conservatives i mean his ad for jeremy razors right had
01:13:07.240inappropriately dressed women the movie that they produced run fight hide had like explicit nudity
01:13:12.520was full of f-words like that's it we're getting back to based conservative content right and it's
01:13:17.840the same slop with just right like what what even are we doing different exactly to your point
01:13:23.800dominique it has we have to wipe the slate of that we have to say we no not like this not pretending
01:13:30.620to look exactly like the world look exactly like the stuff hollywood's produced we've got to put
01:13:35.140all of that away and what you're going to lead with i had a good friend he said uh the second
01:13:39.600you hear someone talking like daily wire did we're coming for disney he's like your level of hubris
01:13:44.680is off the charts you're not going to be making feature films right out of the gate right you're
01:13:49.380going to be doing things like this you're going to be talking you're going to be building probably
01:13:53.640a local community extending and building a network you do those hard things first as the foundation
01:13:58.680and then you build up and you prove yourself in many ways so from the foundation of it christian
01:14:04.680principles from the foundation of it moral principles from the foundation of it virtues
01:14:09.080if you don't you'll have a base that's narrow jesus speaks of this a sand and you'll get there0.91
01:14:14.420and you're doing advertisements like jeremy boring where you're surrounded by scantily clad women1.00
01:14:19.140like wait a second what's we build all of this to do and not a surprise he took a billion dollar
01:14:24.360company and it's very possible that his ego destroyed it as a warning to men he defied the
01:14:29.500odds he built something of generational wealth and in less than 10 years he probably also destroyed
01:14:34.940it yeah it's really tricky because like even you mentioning disney there at west in some ways the
01:14:41.820reason that disney became what it became was exactly what we talked about earlier in the
01:14:46.680episode which was they were early adopters to a new technology and so it really does present a
01:14:53.240very difficult problem that we have to think through in that the established fortunes and
01:15:00.580companies that are so very strong and powerful, I mean, Jeff Bezos is not just going to roll over
01:15:06.560and become irrelevant, right? Bill Gates is not going to do that either. And it is a real big
01:15:12.060thing that we have to think about as true conservatives. Let's give the benefit of the
01:15:18.000of the doubt to the maga movement and say they wanted to do some real good and push in this
01:15:22.860populist direction like you're talking about dominique what what do we do when the rich and
01:15:28.880powerful who were the early adopters at one point i mean that like there are so many people and
01:15:33.560companies who are what they are because their grandfather found oil under his property right
01:15:39.060and then built a company and that became a steel company and it is incredibly difficult to build
01:15:46.040something of that scale just from scratch. And now that there are companies and people of that
01:15:53.160scale, of course, they're going to flock to the power, right? Their vested interest is to be close
01:15:59.900to power so they can continue to be lucrative and financially profitable and expand and grow
01:16:06.460and increase. And so in some ways, like we bemoan the fact that Bezos and all those others were
01:16:15.640there at the inauguration gates were there at the inauguration on the other hand though like
01:16:20.640that obviously was going to happen of course they are yes yes of course they are yeah and you have
01:16:26.840to be impervious um to that temptation right like that's and that's just that's the christian life
01:16:33.500for all of us is like as the lord exalts whoever he sees fit to exalt which typically biblically
01:16:41.240speaking is the humble the lord exalts the humble but having been exalted there's always the
01:16:47.040temptation that you can remain small in your own eyes or you can begin to believe your own press
01:16:52.420right that's what happened with saul right samuel says you were once small in your own eyes right
01:16:57.360when when samuel was looking to anoint him as king he couldn't even find him you know he was
01:17:02.400hidden away in this and and not because of some insecurity complex like saul even his physical
01:17:08.660stature he was head and shoulders the bible says above everyone else right you know like um which
01:17:13.900for the record getting into the nephilim and giants for just a second that's part of the
01:17:17.660reason why goliath was a legit giant this is not a six foot nine person this is at least 10 feet
01:17:23.620tall uh because if he was six foot nine then saul would have been about his height so anyways but
01:17:29.000the point is like saul is um he's an adonis he's he's looks like thor you know what i mean like
01:17:36.100he's tall he's strong he's strapping he's courageous all these kinds of things but um but
01:17:42.000eventually along the way as everybody rallies to him like what do you do when all of a sudden
01:17:47.520there's a king in israel you know like well you you play nice you know and you come and you massage
01:17:53.380his ego and all these kinds of things and eventually saul believes his own press and he
01:17:58.840becomes full of himself and he starts making executive decisions he begins to compromise
01:18:03.580the clear word of the Lord spoken through the prophet Samuel and eventually the kingdom is
01:18:09.000torn away from him. He loses the kingdom and God has done that and God can do that and God will do
01:18:17.020that again and again and again. And it's so important. You have to seize power, right? So
01:18:23.640for the longest time, Christians have just been, especially evangelicals, have been weak and1.00
01:18:27.720pathetic and and it basically demonized anything that's that would remotely fall into the realm of0.99
01:18:34.300masculinity ambition especially so um ambition has only been spoken of as though it were0.98
01:18:40.600a vice you know ambition watch out for ambition you don't want to have ambition you're like
01:18:44.900and then at the end it's so frustrating because in the same pastor who's demonizing ambition in
01:18:50.560every young man will turn around on father's day and and then you know begin to condemn every single
01:18:56.700father in the room for for being apathetic but you just told me the other 51 weeks of the year
01:19:02.500not to be ambitious like what do you want and so ambition is good power is not inherently evil or
01:19:07.880or or right power is a tool just like everything else hammers are great but but you can use a
01:19:13.880hammer to build a house or you can use it to bash in a man's skull you know it depends on
01:19:17.720on its utility how how are you going to use it and so too it is with masculinity and in particular
01:19:23.500ambition and so we need ambitious men we need masculine men courageous men the problem though
01:19:30.220is it when you when you find the crown that's lying in the gutter and you decide to pick it up
01:19:34.620and put it on your head um then you are going to be faced with certain temptations um that otherwise
01:19:42.940you you want to be faced with and ambitious men uh will have you know david we always think about
01:19:49.260about you know david's mighty men it's like it said everybody who was downcast and trodden and
01:19:53.400those who were in debt you know and all they all rallied to david um well i i you know it's a little
01:19:59.500bit implicit it's not explicit in the text but i don't think it's far-fetched to assume i wonder
01:20:04.000if there were any bad characters who also rallied to david right they knew that he was the guy that
01:20:09.900he was up and coming he's going to be the new thing i wonder if if there were some some some
01:20:14.640bad faith characters that also rallied to david and we're like hey man we want to be in your
01:20:19.520inner sanctum we want to be you know when you come into your kingship we can see it's written in the
01:20:23.680stars it's gonna happen and you know and and so we're trying to you know to make alliances now
01:20:28.560like there are probably some guys that david you know that david needed to shape up and and
01:20:35.520sanctify and and equip and teach and and train and there were probably some other guys that david
01:20:42.280need to say get lost right um and that's just inevitable like when god exalts someone he exalts
01:20:48.600them because of their authenticity because of their humility because of their honesty their
01:20:53.960integrity their courage their ambition all these things um but as god exalts someone's profile
01:21:00.660they will inevitably come to face temptations that most men you know could only dream of
01:21:07.640they will have opportunity after opportunity to sell out and to compromise. And it's a lesson
01:21:14.980for all of us. If the Lord would see fit to increase our views, to increase our influence,
01:21:23.620those kinds of things, you better get right with God now. It's far easier to make vows with the
01:21:31.920lord to set in accountability internally all those kinds of things uh when you're small it's a lot
01:21:38.020harder to do that when you're big let's go to our last commercial uh break and then when we come back
01:21:42.780uh we want to deal with we've got a lot of super chats we want to honor those and uh and anybody

01:24:14.820all right uh so we've got some super chats and questions but before we get into them uh dominique
01:24:20.640two two things one i want to uh give you a chance if you have any final thoughts on our topic for
01:24:26.700today the daily wire and then secondly do you want to stick around for the questions some of
01:24:30.680them relate to our topic and then some of them are theological but you you may be interested and
01:24:35.300we're happy to have you typically basically at this point in the show we've got i'd say we've
01:24:39.720got another half hour do you want to stick around with us or you want to give some final thoughts
01:24:43.000on the daily wire and and log off i'll absolutely stick around i'll give some final thoughts if you
01:24:48.600don't mind go for it i think that daily wire is ultimately going to go in the direction that
01:24:55.260society goes and i think it's one of two ways i think that uh gentlemen like us are either going
01:25:00.980to become significantly significantly more popular because people will understand that
01:25:06.160we actually are telling the truth we actually well at least especially in your case trying to
01:25:11.460you know, you're, you're trying to guide people ultimately to God and to maintain those Christian
01:25:15.860principles that have been so valuable to maintaining this country and in keeping it
01:25:20.500going, you know, how it is today. And I, I ultimately think that either that's going to
01:25:25.580happen and we are going to experience sort of like a second awakening and a victory in woke
01:25:32.640war two, we'll call it, or, and this is unfortunate, but, and this is kind of what I'm sensing.
01:25:38.480or you're going to see some of the biggest censorship laws passed down that you've really
01:25:45.680ever, ever encountered. And something I find a little bit troubling is I definitely am a big
01:25:52.780fan of some of the freedom of speech and things on X for certain, but I'm worried that they may
01:25:58.460actually, because it's very clear that the conversation has changed, especially regarding
01:26:03.440things like israel which daily wire is you know they're they're known for their affiliation but i
01:26:08.540think that they may use some of this online um rhetoric to actually justify some of these types
01:26:17.640of censorship laws i think they're interested in passing down and with the creation of these task
01:26:22.460force uh with the sole goal of eliminating anti-semitism with the deportations of these
01:26:28.260students that you're seeing uh i think it's kind of pretty evident that that is something that this
01:26:34.800administration is is really interested in and if it ends up that um that that's true i think someone
01:26:42.140like daily wow daily wire will flourish simply because they're giving uh they're they're playing
01:26:47.880in a very advantageous sandbox if you will so i think you're going to see total victory total
01:26:54.480america first total christian victory on our behalf or i think you're going to see um draconian
01:27:00.120censorship laws get passed down and you know using ai to scan people's content and actually
01:27:06.640you're seeing that even today with the program that the state department just released
01:27:11.000it's called what is it catch and revoke and they're speaking about uh finding these people
01:27:17.160that are putting anti-semitic talking points into you know whether it's on campus or whether
01:27:23.060it's in social media and ultimately you know revoking their visas so if they can do that
01:27:27.640to some of these foreigners who i don't want them to be here anyways but still if they can do that
01:27:33.040to them they can ultimately use the same apparatus to do it to us and if anyone's old enough to know1.00
01:27:37.900about the patriot act that's exactly what they did they they put it all around you know islamic0.78
01:27:42.740fear-mongering and and terrorist attack on 9-11 and then it really ended up being um something
01:27:48.700that that really went against the the freedom of normal american citizens so i think that's kind of
01:27:54.080what i think is going to happen guys well said um so to sum that up that because that was incredibly
01:27:58.980insightful and i'm going to give you guys some very practical pastoral advice some counsel
01:28:05.860application here what dominique just said what that means in a practical sense is um go for the
01:28:12.960gold. Be courageous. Be bold. Preach Christ unashamedly. Stand for America first, Americans
01:28:20.640first, and buy Palantir stock as a black pill hedge. That's basically what Dominique just said.
01:33:10.520We're going to have informal security, guys carrying.
01:33:12.880But then we also have, you know, formal security.
01:33:15.500We're going to have a couple of sheriffs that are going to be there and help keep us safe.
01:33:19.540And so you will need to show your badge, not necessarily your driver's license.
01:33:23.300But you'll come in, your register, show your badge at the door to get in.
01:33:26.360But then, yes, Wes, that's a great practical piece of advice.
01:33:29.920If you're in a line of work where attending our conference could get you into trouble, show your badge at the door and then tuck it in your pocket.
01:33:36.420You don't have to wear your badge as you're going around.
01:33:38.760We don't need to make it easy for the leftist.
01:33:41.400these are people who hate christ and they hate you and they hate your kids and uh and they want
01:33:47.320to ruin your life oh yeah and they will be there because um it's it's impossible uh to vet all of
01:33:53.000them all right here's the next one this is chris it's actually two he's got two all right we'll
01:33:56.660read them back to back chris tisking two fifty dollar super chats so a hundred bucks very
01:34:01.920generous thank you chris we really appreciate it he says how do you deal with brothers and he puts
01:34:07.300brothers in quotation marks here i appreciate that uh who call you a demon or satanic simply
01:34:13.420for wanting cultural christianity i want christ in everything that's my politics that's everything
01:34:20.480i've gotten a lot of pushback from daily wire fans on this he says dw i'm gonna i'm gonna say
01:34:27.800daily wire here's the second half could be it could be a different dw um second half he says
01:34:35.060my pastor is clearly peeved frustrated at me posting about Israel and Judaism in the church
01:34:43.560slack so they've got a church slack line executive pastor is for it as long as it lines up with
01:34:50.940positive fruits lead pastor hates it and some churchgoers are gossiping about me and my wife
01:34:58.460what do I do now he added a comment too that was in a super chat that said his wife
01:35:03.640wears a head covering but she's the only woman and she gets really derided for that behind the
01:35:08.180scenes by the other women right god forbid that a woman uh cover her head i yeah but1.00
01:35:13.700i get i get mad about these kinds of things it's like they're transing kids and and your biggest
01:35:22.680concern as a christian minister yeah is that uh that somebody's wife might have a conviction
01:35:29.660to do what R.C. Sproul's wife currently still does.0.91
