I watched all 4 hours of Reikeita Law's cast on Rumble and he has 100% the correct take. And he goes over Cocaine Owens' meltdown on Timcast IRL, basically, she sounds hysterical because she probably realized she got completely fucking screwed, but like a jabbie who is scared and angry that they got the jab, they take it out on people who didn't because misery loves company.
Shadiversity also put out a lengthy video on how bad the contract was. Here's the video. He went through it line by line. Apparently Shad has been burned by, and been offered, bad contracts before, and hates them with a passion.
He argues, rightfully, that just because the business is that way, doesn't make it right. These predatory contracts use intentionally complicated legalese to screw over people who don't know better, and who can't afford a lawyer to unfuck the legalese. It's a self fulfilling prophecy of lawyers creating conditions which require more lawyers. It's why so many people rightfully hate lawyers and the profession in general. It doesn't need to be this way. The response I often hear is that "well Crowder could've counter offered". Bullcrap. The contract offered by Daily Wire is an insult, and shows what kind of people they are, and what they think. The people putting out contracts like that are intentionally obfuscating the truth, with the intent of screwing other people over, trying to take them for as much money as possible. That's not behavior by good people. It's liars using lies to screw over others.
This is exacerbated by the fact that the contract in question would force Crowder to abide by the insanely authoritarian censorship of Big Tech. It's not only bending the knee to that censorship, but actively participating in enforcing it, by punishing any content creator that says anything moderately verboten. From what Daily Wire said in their response to Crowder, this is apparently a standard contract by them, which means that probably all of their content creators must abide by this rule. This proves that the Daily Wire is a false choice trap. They don't care about the truth. They don't care about fighting the system. They don't care about correcting the wrongs. At the minimum, they only care about money. At worst, they do this intentionally to trap normie right wingers into milquetoast right wing positions using half truth approved opinions.
Every aspect of this shows that the Daily Wire are liars and can't be trusted.
This is what gets me... Crowder doing this is like a major musician with his own label calling out the record companies for the insanely shitty, awful contracts they have that they use to steal the lives of starry-eyed young kids who are told they're going to be the next big 'thing'. They then labor beneath their contract and make zero money off of their music.
But because it's Daily Wire, their stupid fans are going 'muh private business negotiations' and 'why not just walk away and say nothing'.
Crowder's entire first video was wholly about telling new talent and young people to not sign predatory contracts locking them into being nothing but ad robots and parroting Zuckerberg's political agendas. That was it.
The stupidest fucking thing is that all the DW fans are going "boo he shouldn't have recorded his friend".
He did it because he knew that the shekel-pinching fucks at DW were going to try to flip the script and make him sound like a greedy primadonna. He recorded Boering because Boering did exactly that with his hour-long video, revealing lurid details about how much Crowder 'thinks' he's worth and making it all about money.
They then had their least-popular personality on Timcast to scream for 30 minutes in a coke-fueled hysteria about nothing but money.
The Daily Wire has so far never, not once, fucking talked about a single thing Crowder was upset about. Matt Walsh on Twitter is cumming in his own face about how they "totally changed the culture with the greatest documentary ever made", when literally nobody has seen What is a Woman who wasn't already on his side. Not a single fucking person in the centrist space even heard of it, much less were going to cross the paywall for it.
Yeah, you cannot and do not counter-offer from an insane lowball. Crowder probably estimates that he needs about $22.5M/year to operate. Daily Wire's opening offer was barely half that. That means in order to even begin to try to 'meet in the middle', Crowder is forced to counter-offer something absurd like $35M a year. And having to negotiate up two hundred and fifty fucking percent from the opening offer is utterly insane. You don't go to a job interview expecting to make $110K/year, and then when they say "we'll pay you $30K" you think you can realistically counter with "how about $250K?". When they offer you $30K you pack your shit and walk. It means they think you're fucking worthless.
Agreed on all counts. I knew Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro were MIGA Con Inc. Uniparty false choice right wing, but I'm still surprised when new information comes out about how bad those kinds of people are. Traitors in our midst should be dealt with more harshly and more swiftly than an army at the gate. Daily Wire, and all the rest of the false choice right wingers, are traitors to the movement. They're traps for content creators and for viewers. May they be outed, kicked out of town, and burn in hell.
Genuine people record phone conversations when they're worried that the other party will lie. There have been lots of stories over the last few years of right wingers saving themselves from hatchet job interviews with mainstream media organizations, precisely because they had the wherewithal to record the conversation themselves, enabling them to release it after the fact and reveal the whole truth. It's also how Project Veritas gets their content, by getting the lefties comfortable and letting them speak their mind, how they really feel. One can't demonize Crowder, without demonizing the others.
Daily Wire are the ones claiming they've been friends with Crowder. Jeremy Boreing said as much in his video response. It's an old manipulative tactic. They're using an emotional appeal to sway people to their side, by claiming that Crowder betrayed their friendship. It's obviously false, because friends wouldn't have done what they did to Crowder. Given everything else we've seen from Daily Wire, that they use legalese to hide how bad their contracts are, for the sole purpose of screwing people over, they're proving themselves to be manipulative liars.
Furthermore, Daily Wire know their contracts are bad, because Boreing admitted (I can't remember if it was the video response or the phone call released by Crowder) that their contracts for newcomers are literally slave contracts. Good people don't do that. It also reveals how pompous they are. They view themselves as better than everyone else, and that they can take advantage of the lower cast, people who can't afford lawyers, and the naive who don't know how predatory DW are. It's some of the worst forms of human behavior possible. Boreing admitted to Crowder, in an attempt to get Crowder on his side, that Crowder is better than the lower cast slaves, and they offered him a better contract than those filth. If the contract they gave to Crowder was one of their better ones, what the hell are they giving to us peons? If Daily Wire feel that way about people, how could anyone trust the "news" and "content" they give to us lower cast slaves?
Lastly, in Boreing's video response to Crowder, where he went over the contract, nearly line by line, he was lying and inverting the truth the entire time. He repeatedly contradicted himself, often times jumping from one side to the other with only seconds between. Shad pointed out most of the hypocrisy in his response video. Either Boreing is so accustomed to lying he didn't notice, or he's a massive hypocrite that doesn't see his errors. It's probably both, as liars necessarily must be hypocrites. In either case, he hoped no one would notice, which is why he released the video. It perfectly matches the attitude he has for us peons, as literal slaves. Fortunately, for us peons, it's obvious as hell. Boreing was trying to claim to be the victim, when he wasn't, and attacking Crowder for things he didn't do. It was all lies, logical fallacies, and manipulation. It's literally the "jew cries out in pain as he strikes you" stereotype, in the flesh. I couldn't find any info about his heritage through an internet search, but he certainly fits the jewish stereotype, and the worst forms of human behavior.
I'd also like to point out that the Daily Wire has to have their own troll farm, because the number of people I've seen shilling for them is unnaturally high. They use the exact same tactics that shills and liars use. They make unsubstantiated claims, invert the truth, put the burden of proof on others, claim evidence doesn't exist, misrepresent the timeline of events and the truth itself, tell people are wrong without explaining why, repeat the Daily Wire talking points verbatim, use logically fallacious arguments, and they're very active.
This is my theory with Candice. She only now realizes that she got boned, but like crabs in a bucket, wants to make sure that the next Candice Owens gets the same shitty contract so they don't do better than her.
