Ben Shapiro / The Daily Wire - Commentator, Lawyer, Writer, WAP Sommelier, Vanquisher of SJWs, Podcast Host, Mara Wilson's cousin

This is why I didn't want to take sides back then, as everyone in show business is a cunt.


I don't think it proves DW right, they still offered a shit contract, but it does prove Crowder wrong in that he was just being a dick for clicks as he was pulling the same exact shit himself and all of it was boilerplate.
I hate crowder and I don’t think it was a shit contract. If you want big money you have to produce. And if you want to produce on social media you can’t be edgy.
 
There's also this weird clip that many have celebrated as Crowder mentioning he was bisexual in the past. Even in context, it doesn't make much sense in any other way, but maybe he was just trying to make a joke that didn't land. At 7:42.

This reminded me of the old joke about Pierre, Pierre the Cocksucker. (Delivered in a French Canadian accent) "All my life, I swam in the Olympics, but do they call me 'Pierre, Pierre the Olympic Swimmer?' Non! As an architect, I designed and built hundreds of bridges, but do they call me 'Pierre, Pierre, the Bridge Builder?' Non! But you suck just ONE cock...."
 
So did anything emerge from the hacked Matt Walsh emails spanning 20 years?

And by anything, I mean Abby Shapiro pictures.
Nothing yet, so there might not be anything exciting in them. That or they're waiting for the right time.

As for Khazaar Milkers, I'm sure Ben is used to it by now and all we'll get is "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed folks. Remember, facts over mammaries folks."
 
Wired did an article that seemed to indicate the guy was just bored and didn't have plans to weaponize it in any way. That's certainly how it seemed from the tweets--it didn't come off as a deranged activist who was going to leak a whole bunch of damning stuff.


The Hacker Who Hijacked Matt Walsh’s Twitter Was Just ‘Bored’
The breach of the right-wing provocateur was simply a way of “stirring up some drama,” the attacker tells WIRED. But the damage could have been much worse.
EDITOR'S NOTE: FOLLOWING publication, Twitter permanently suspended this article's author, WIRED senior reporter Dell Cameron, citing its policy against the distribution of hacked material. WIRED believes Twitter's actions were unjustified. Please see statements from WIRED managing editor Hemal Jhaveri and editor-in-chief Gideon Lichfield for more details.

The hacker who claims to have compromised the Twitter account of right-wing commentator Matt Walsh last night says he meant no harm—though he was clearly in a position to exact some. The whole purpose of the attack, he says, was to stir up controversy and sow chaos on Twitter.

If that was all he was after, well, mission accomplished.

Walsh’s account first appeared compromised Tuesday night after a series of out-of-character posts appeared on his feed. They included jabs at fellow conservative media figures, including colleague and Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro. In a tweet directed at Shapiro, the hacker, who goes by the alias Doomed, wrote: “You Know What You Did, You Are A Closeted Homosexual And Hide Behind Being Jewish.”

Other tweets included “Joe Rogan Is A Pedophile,” and “I Can Confirm Andrew Tate Kidnapped And R*ped Those Girls,” a reference to the former British kickboxer and controversial misogynist arrested in Romania last year on allegations of human trafficking.

Walsh, who hosts a Daily Wire podcast named after himself, has been frequently characterized as an “online troll.” He’s previously described himself as a “theocratic fascist,” claims to believe anime is “satanic,” and pushed for state executions of doctors who provide minors with gender-affirming care.

Due to his efforts to foment attacks against the LGBTQ community online and in media, denigrating trans people in particular as “groomers,” Walsh drew criticism more recently over a series of resurfaced remarks in which he refers to girls as young as 16 as being the “most fertile.”

“The intent was to make funny tweets, as Matt Walsh likes to ‘trigger’ people,” says Doomed, who declined to provide his real name. “We caused no financial harm, threatened anyone, [nor] ruined anything.” It was merely, he says, “a few silly words on social media.”

A pinned tweet on Walsh’s profile, which was suspended a few hours after the hacks began, read: “My Pronouns Are That/N***a.”

The hack was accomplished, Doomed says, using a technique known as SIM swapping. The attack typically involves hackers tricking a cellular provider into switching a victim’s phone number to a SIM card the hackers control, rather than the one in the victim’s phone. Doomed, however, claims Walsh’s phone was compromised with the help of an “insider.”

In addition to his Twitter account, Walsh’s Google and Microsoft accounts appeared to have been compromised, granting Doomed unfettered access to the right-wing host’s private emails.

Several screenshots were provided as proof of the intrusion, including an apparent copy of Walsh’s W2 tax form, which lists his employer as Bentkey Services, LLC, the publisher of the Daily Wire. (Business records list Shapiro as the company’s director.) Other images included a direct message on Twitter from Shapiro from 2017; emails between Walsh and the conservative commentator Steven Crowder, host of the Louder with Crowder podcast, dated March 2014; and a photo of Walsh holding up a paper dated November 2020—apparently used to authenticate some type of accompanying message.

The emails between Walsh and Crowder are largely benign, with Crowder introducing himself before he and Walsh begin opining about the imminent collapse of the cable news industry (which has thus far failed to materialize) and the growing obsolescence of talk radio. “Talk about shrinking marketshares,” Walsh, a former terrestrial radio host himself, remarks. Walsh goes on to say that his primary goal is growing his personal brand for profit: “There's certainly plenty of money to be made when you can get millions of hits online, and I'm a capitalist and I have a family, so I've decided to start getting serious about that.”

Other screenshots appear to show the hacker in the midst of compromising Walsh’s accounts, triggering authenticating requests received on the SIM-swapped device—attacks Walsh could have prevented by using an authentication app instead of receiving security codes via SMS, or by upgrading his defenses with a USB token such as a YubiKey. Twitter announced in February that it would no longer offer SMS authentication to people who don't subscribe to its Blue service, a move security experts say is nonsensical.

“SMS is dogshit for security,” Doomed says.

The hacker, who acknowledged he was merely “bored” and felt like “stirring up some drama,” also used Walsh's account to plug what he called a “silly ironic LGBTQ rap song” written by a friend. One tweet read: “I Ain’t A Gangsta, I’ma Sassy Shoota.” Vice News first reported on the meaning behind the tweet (though the hacker says promoting the song was not really his primary goal).

“I noticed he panicked and removed his iCloud and stuff,” Doomed says, adding he didn’t really care what Walsh had stored on it. “I literally only wanted his Twitter account to make stupid tweets. And it worked, both sides are arguing over it.”

Likely to the chagrin of Walsh’s online detractors, Doomed says he has no plans to continue plaguing the self-described “fascist,” telling WIRED that he’s already signed out of Walsh’s accounts and has even tried returning his access. (Attempts at contacting Walsh have so far failed, Doomed says.)

A WIRED email to Walsh went unanswered. However, understandably, he may not be immediately reachable for comment.
 
I really think we need to have a thread on Crowder because holy shit.

I've just reached the point in the interview with Landau where he discusses the contract that Crowder was offering him. It's insane. He's making him do LWC with Crowder and then he "gives" him his own show that he's not getting paid for. Crowder also forces him to release all of his specials through him and he owns the right to them, he's forcing them to come every day even though it's gonna prevent him from doing stand up. Contract forces him to take him out of school and move his family to Texas within a few months. No salary bump, more conditions, and a penalty for being 5 minutes late. Is only allowed to go out of Dallas, Texas once every three weeks. It goes on and on and on.


Starts 52 minutes in.

And that contract was offered after the whole Daily Wire contract thing.

Absolutely lolcow material. Between that, the getting dressed in drag, the gutfield texts about crowder sitting indian style in a bar drinking milk, the bisexual comments and all the other weird shit, it's time.

This contract was draft by Dave's agent. Dave's agent, that Crowder poached and turned him into his agent, and used to try and fuck Dave hard by having his agent telling him it was a great deal:

- No pay raise after almost two years
- Family is forced to move to Texas within 3 months
- His son has a disease where his mother's insurance covers it in Michigan but wouldn't be covered in Texas and they knew about it.
- Only allowed to go out of Texas once every three weekends (not during work days, during weekends)
- Forces him to write for the show every day for the sake of busy work (always making new sketches that won't be produced, etc)
- Has to start his own Friday two months later (so he can't tour on Fridays)
- He's not getting paid for doing his own Friday show (and can't make money doing stand-up)
- Has to be at work 5 days a week
- Can't work on his show while he's working on Crowder's show even if it's busy work
- Can't do stand up shows unless Steven is on the ticket
- Crowder now owns his comedy specials and they are exclusively released through him
- This is non-negotiable
- If he arrives 5 minutes late, he will have to vacate the company premises and will not be compensated for the day, nor be reimbursed for his expenses.
- Will promote his stand-up once a week "in a medium of company's discretion"
- Dave offered to give them 5% of any show's profits, 10% of any show he sells out so they promote him more; they refused
- Was not allowed to be in rehearsal, had to sit in a separate room so would spend nearly 2 hours doing nothing while they prepared
- No clause in his contract got better; at best they stayed the same as the previous contract, or they got more restrictive.

Also mentions there's a bunch of shit behind closed doors he's not going to get into

This just tells me that Crowder is seething that he couldn't hack it as a stand-up comedian because he isn't nearly as funny as Dave so he wants to hinder Dave's whole comedy career. Pure closeted homo jealousy.
 
No one seems to last long at The Blaze, other than Dave Rubin.

Lauren Chen, Gavin McInnes, Crowder.
I don't know anything about Lauren, but both Gavin and Crowder are spergs, with Rubin being the only somewhat sensible person in terms of professionalism who went on to make Locals. The Blaze also hired Elijah and others, so they're willing to hire lunatics, which has mixed results.

That's touched upon earlier in the podcast actually, where there's some comedian they want to bring on as an opener that has some popularity, but because he had a better reception in the first few stand ups than Crowder her ended up being blackballed.
 
Since there is no dedicated Dennis Prager thread, I'll post it here
the man himself defending loli, its ok to jack it off to it guys, you're all safe now:
