I don't expect Benny to have that capacity since he was born with a silver spoon. You only gain self-reflection through suffering and mistakes and Ben never has had that.

Ben of the past is where Ben wants to be in terms of influence but that's it. His hissy fitting at the bipartisan calls of Israel's outright hypocrisy but also people are just kind of sick of Jews. They are constantly unscathed in any issue such as the NYC child grooming rings, Hollywood groomers etc.

People are starting to view them as nepotistic kabal (not all are) who continually act the victim but goddamn if you call them out on their bullshit.

YOU'RE AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!

No, I will not agree or let my country sway my opinion that Israel is so good when Israel has always been for Israel and guilting whatever simpleton believes them. If they want to kill 1 million kids, then they can have that blood on their hands and not mine. That's Israel as a whole though a gutless, feckless regime that is driven by self-motivation. Jews fucking love money after all.
 
A theory I have about Daily Wire is that their contracts probably allow each of their hosts to run their YouTube channels sort of as their own business, while sharing Daily Wire designers and video editor employees. This is why Ben shills for Israel so hard, but Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles tend to focus more on cultural issues like the LGBT (but barely touch Israel, and don't appear to be pressured to)
 
if it were not for the last paragraph, i would believe jeremy that he would not want to fire candace. the last paragraph sounds like the weasel lawyer excuse he and ben are looking for to fire candace.

my guess is there are looking really hard to find the "violations of the terms of her contract" and her dismissal, without the payout, is coming soon.
 
I respect this move. I'm sure Ben could get Candice fired if he really wanted it, but I will grant the limited credit deserved for sticking by the convictions you espoused about never canceling your own people.
The problem is that they have cancelled their own people before. Granted she wasn't a major host like Owens was, but they have no problem cancelling people when they need to do so.

The problem with Owens is not only a contract one but also just the fact that she is a bigger face with her own fanbase. If they fire her, they know it is going to create a shitstorm that will probably only ruin them with it.

Also Owens is a attack dog. A good one at that. She undoubtedly has dirt on Ben and the Daily Wire as a whole. They'd be smart to be careful around her
 
It would be hilarious if Candice took a job with Crowder and took over Dave Landau's old Chair.
After calling Crowder a monster for being a faggot in front of his ex? Not sure about that.

Conservative outlets have fired their own people before for not following conservative dogma. Like how TheBlaze fired Tomi Lauren for being pro-choice or how Chris Hogan got let go from Ramsey Solutions long after signing a high-figure book deal for adultery/having an affair with a co-worker. Those actions were used against them to embarrass them by folks like Trevor Noah to show the dysfunction and hypocrisy in these outlets.

Some people saw the writing on the wall as early as 2018. Hell, even farther back if you want listen through some of the old takes from TRS.biz.

A running debate on this side of the divide is over the utility of guys like Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and other slightly edgy characters. The claim is that these types of insider critics of the prevailing order are a gateway to more radical thinkers on this side of the divide. A normie starts reading Ben Shapiro or listening to Jordan Peterson, and before long he finds his way to our team. There is not much in the way of proof of this, just some anecdotes from people who swear that is how they made their journey to the dark side.

The counter argument is that these edgy guys serve as palace guards, maintaining the line between what is and what is not acceptable. Their job is to make sure that none of the bad think from the outer dark creep into the thought of the orthodoxy. As a result, they make a big deal out of opposing racism, sexism, antisemitism, and homophobia. The Four Olds figure prominently in their arguments, not as a way to inoculate themselves from the Left, but to make sure no one to their Right is allowed into the debate.

Both claims are right, depending upon the person in question. Take, for example, the Nick Nack of neoconservatism, Ben Shapiro. He is fond of posting the sort of unhinged rants about the people to his Right, that we generally associate with feminist cat ladies. This should not surprise anyone, as the spiritual distance between a Ben Shapiro and a feminist campus harpy is not big. He is just as haunted by the Four Olds as anyone on the Left. He just finds it easier to make a living peddling old CivNat nostrums.

You see that in this post at National Review, where Shapiro appears to be defending bad think, but in reality he is engaged in an act of deception. He does not bother to go into the issues that get a Charles Murray or a Sam Harris in trouble. Instead, he shifts the focus from that to pumping air into his own tires. A few days later, his dear friend Bari Weiss is out promoting the so-called “intellectual dark web” which Ben Shapiro just happens to be part of, along with Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson. Funny coincidence, I am sure.

Unlike a guy like Peterson or Sam Harris, Shapiro is just another grifter from Conservative Inc. He is the edgy band your parents said was OK, hoping you would not start listening to the stuff they thought was dangerous. That is his utility to the managerial class. Instead of people noticing what happens to our guys when they try to engage in public debate, their eye is focused on how poor Ben Shapiro had to wait a whole hour while the campus police removed a few overwrought students from the auditorium.

That’s why Shapiro will drone on endlessly about how unfair it is that he does not get lucrative speaking gigs on state campuses, but remain stone silent on the endless harassment of Richard Spencer by the Left. Like all of Conservative Inc., he is for free speech that pays him well, but otherwise sides with Antifa against his competition. He’ll never talk about the fact that corporate America is willing to sponsor an Antifa convention in Chicago, but coordinates their efforts to prevent VDare from holding a private gathering.

Even though guys like Shapiro are explicitly opposed to us and are happy to lock arms with the Left against us, some still insist that they serve a purpose. This is true, but not for the reasons they claim. What a guy like Shapiro demonstrates is that there is an unbridgeable gap between the prevailing orthodoxy and the Dissident Right. There is no middle ground between the blank slate and biological realism. Race is either an invalid social construct or a useful model of biological reality. There is no middle ground here.

Ultimately, what a guy like Ben Shapiro tries to do is distract people from the real issues, by focusing their attention on the trivial. He starts from the premise that there is a real battle between the Left and some ideological alternative. That battle was over long before anyone reading this was born. The Right in America, for more than half a century, has simply been a modifier, a restraint, on the American Left. Shapiro’s job is to make sure otherwise sensible people never notice this. Otherwise, there will be a revolt.

Now, not all of these guys in the outer belt of the prevailing orthodoxy are members of the palace guard. Jordan Peterson is just an eccentric weirdo who suddenly got famous. He is probably harmless, and he may open doors to our side. A Gavin McInnes, who is mostly an incoherent grab bag of cosmopolitan fads and libertarian jabberwocky, is at least willing to engage with our side. Most, however, are there as a barrier. Fundamental to the Dissident Right project is the destruction of Conservative Inc. and the palace guard.

One of the best takes I've ever come across comes from thezman.com who puts forth one of the best arguments as to why Ben Shapiro is not an ally of the United States and should be shunned by Christian conservatives, much less Christians themselves.
