1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Al Zone Mediah.

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: I started the episode Garrison.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 3: Really really what an energetic entry into I'm tired, Tell

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 3: me things that make me sad. Oh, I don't worry,

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 3: I will like that is my favorite thing to do.

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 3: Let's let's yeah, let's talk about things that are actually

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: sad for the first first half of this episode. You know,

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: the past few years, it's kind of been increasingly profitable

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: to be friendly to the gaze, which is kind of

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 3: a new trend. You know, if if you look at

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: the past twenty years or so, it's becoming more more profitable,

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: which we if you're if you're like a queer accelerationist anarchist,

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 3: maybe maybe that's a bad thing, right, But if you're

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: just trying to like not get killed in the interim

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: as the climate collapses, it's you know, maybe maybe a

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: good thing that that generally queer acceptance has been improving.

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 3: But as it's been improven, there's also been a pretty

18
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 3: sizable backlash from some members of the Christian right who

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: don't really like this or are trying to use this

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 3: backlash as a way to promote their own economic interests.

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: And I don't think this needs to be an either

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: or I think this can definitely be a both scenario.

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: Speaking of Matthew Walsh, the Catholic, self described fascist, this

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: is going to be kind of the topic of the

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: first half of this because he has been able to

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: the work he's done, has been able to really propel

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: the Daily Wire as an actual political entity in a

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: way that Shapiro just never really has. Shapiro was really

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: good at creating eye catching YouTube videos, clickbait and stuff,

30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: but we never really saw him campaigning hard for any

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: political cause. He was never really doing that type of stuff.

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: They come at a different eras in different communities. For

33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: one thing, Ben Shapiro is Jewish and came of age

34
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: and came into prominence in the early two thousands when

35
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: conservatives had political power but basically zero like social power

36
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: as they saw it, right, and so he was always

37
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: positioned as like I am sort of the I'm the

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: insurgent conservative, like I'm Rush Limbaugh. You know, I'm going

39
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: to provide a safe place for you, even though you

40
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: control the government to a large extent, where I can

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: yell at and make fun of the people that you

42
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: think are bad, right, And that's that's the only thing

43
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: he ever really sought to do is like lol, liberals dumb.

44
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: Walsh comes out of the Christian kind of dominionist adjacent

45
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: movement at the very least, and their goal has always

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: been capture the seven pillars of culture, right, and so

47
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: he from the beginning has thought of this more as

48
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: I am waging a Christian war against secular society and

49
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: doing so like kind of methodically. So they just kind

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: of have approached what they're doing fundamentally from a different

51
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: way and came into it at different times.

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: Walsh's definitely the most evangelical Catholic I've ever seen, and

53
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: which is weird because like back when he was a

54
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: popular Christian blogger, his stuff was very popular in evangelical circles,

55
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: even though evangelicals generally are not very friendly to Catholics,

56
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: but his stuff was widely shared because he was quite provocative. Now,

57
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: he spent a few years just kind of laying low

58
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: running a podcast at The Daily Wire, and then What

59
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: Is a Woman really really propelled him into the spotlight

60
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: and he got a glimpse of fame and popularity that

61
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: he's been endlessly trying to replicate. And because this fame

62
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: was based around hating trans people, that is what he's

63
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: decided to pivot his whole career year to doing that

64
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: is now his entire focus in life is about how

65
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: he doesn't like trans people because it was very profitable

66
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: for him. In twenty twenty two, so as a part

67
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: of an ongoing right wing harassment campaign against TikTok influencer

68
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: and chronic theater kid Dylan mulvaney, Matt Walsh started a

69
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: viral boycott campaign against bud Light for having a brand

70
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: partnership with a trans person. Now, I'm not going to

71
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: spend too much time here talking about right wing boycotts.

72
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 3: I'm sure we've all watched, you know, like Nike shoe

73
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: burnings and Gillette razors being flushed down the toilet and

74
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: people dropping their Cure eggs off rooftops. Generally, boycotts don't

75
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 3: tend to work, but this bud Light thing did show

76
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: some success. And success in this instance specifically refers to

77
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: Walsh and the Daily Wire cronies receiving a lot of

78
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: attention and free publicity, so they sought to replicate this

79
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: strategy while publicly telegraphing their harassm methodology. Here's two tweets

80
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: from Matt Walsh quote here's what we should do. Pick

81
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: a victim, gang up on it, and make an example

82
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: of it. We can't boycott every woke company, or even

83
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: most of them, but we can pick one it hardly

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: matters which and target it with a ruthless boycott campaign.

85
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: Claim one scalp, then move on to the next. Our

86
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: goal is to make Pride toxic for brands. If they

87
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should

88
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: know that they'll pay a price. It won't be worth

89
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: whatever they think they'll gain. First bud Light and now Target.

90
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: Our campaign is making progress. Let's keep it going so

91
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: as Walsh said there, Walsh's next target was target the

92
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 3: Department Store due to the store's history of prominent Pride

93
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: displays in the lead up to Pride Month during twenty

94
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: twenty three, Target was met with online and in person harassment,

95
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: with a wave of emails and calls to individual stores

96
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: accusing them of grooming and indoctrinating kids with the presence

97
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: of Pride themed apparel. People started ransacking stores, destroying Pride displays,

98
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: threatening violence against employees in person, as well as calling

99
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: in multiple bomb threats into many many different stores, mirroring

100
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: the harassment campaign against trans clinics and hospitals the year prior,

101
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: which was also spearheaded by Matt Walsh. We've seen this

102
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 3: tactic game prominence. This bomb threat tactic is now quite

103
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: common among the right. We saw it be called into

104
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: There was a lot of bomb threats called into like

105
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: four hundred synagogues this past winter that was you know,

106
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: most likely done by some form of neo Nazi. But

107
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: we've just seen this, this specific bomb threat tactic pick

108
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: up a lot because it provides a pretty sizable minor

109
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: or short term disruption to regular, regular services. Now, in

110
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: response to this wave of harassment, Target Corporate mandated that

111
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: many stores remove their front of store pride displays in

112
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: late May, all across the country, but especially in the South.

113
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: Target released a statement saying they were quote making adjustments

114
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: to our plans given these volatile circumstances unquote, and these

115
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: adjustments included relocating or removing pride displays due to quote

116
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: threats impacting our team members a sense of safety and

117
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: well being at work.

118
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: Quote.

119
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: Employees were also instructed to specifically remove items quote at

120
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: the center of the most significant confrontational behavior unquote, like

121
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: shapewear binders and tuck friendly swimwear and to quote replace

122
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: them with swimwear to better meet our sales goalsuote. Now,

123
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: Walsh claimed that the tuck friendly swimwear was being marketed

124
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: to kids, but it only came in adult sizes. A

125
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: lot of this sort of harassment campaign isn't really based

126
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: on anything truthful, but that doesn't really matter. Here's a

127
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: quote from Walsh again, quote, I think this Target boycott

128
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: has real staying power. Target has now branded itself as

129
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: a far left organization to the point where it's embarrassing

130
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: to shop there. This is the branding that makes the

131
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: boycott stick. It happened about Light, I think it's happening

132
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: to Target. This is what conservatives have missed in the

133
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: past with failed boycott attempts. It's not enough to simply

134
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: tell people not to shop somewhere or buy something. You

135
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: have to make it so that they don't want to. So.

136
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: After a around five percent sales drop in the second quarter,

137
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: and again it's hard to actually figure out what that

138
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: can be attributed.

139
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: To, beer sales also hit like their lowest level in

140
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: recent history. Yes, you're just kind of.

141
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: Again, it's hard to see if these things are actually working,

142
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: but that doesn't matter because the right can claim them

143
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 3: as a success. Yeah yeah, and Target released an update saying, quote,

144
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: the reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt

145
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: and learn so that our future approach to these moments

146
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: balances celebration, inclusivity, and broad based appeal unquote. And Walsh

147
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: claimed this announcement as a quote qu massive victory. Now,

148
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: I hope, you know, I hope many of us aren't,

149
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: you know, shopping for Pride products at a store like Target.

150
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: But for a lot of kids and even adults in

151
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: more conservative areas of the country, Target was really the

152
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: only place to get gender firming clothing like binders and

153
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 3: trans friendly swimsuits in person. These things can be tricky

154
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: to buy online. Sometimes you don't want to package showing

155
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: up to your door if you can't be the one

156
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: to like open it. So Target really was the only

157
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: place for a lot of people to have access to

158
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: this kind of stuff. Now, last year, Michael Knowles tried

159
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: to kind of replicate the Matt Walsh strategy because it

160
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: proved to be very, very successful, So they had Walls

161
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: going out on doing very similar kind of anti trans speeches.

162
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: He spoke at a lot of the big conservative conferences

163
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 3: talking about how we need to eliminate transgenderism. He jumped

164
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: on this, this boycott stuff and addressed his viewers saying, quote,

165
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: we need to make the Pride symbol toxic for brands.

166
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: We need to make companies think twice as we're making

167
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: these symbols culturally toxic. We've got to come in with

168
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 3: more political force to ban this stuff. Don't back down.

169
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: The progress conservatives have made on this just between twenty

170
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: twenty one and twenty twenty three. The fact that companies

171
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: are trying to back off shows that we are winning.

172
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: Keep pushing much much harder. Unquote, and at the very least,

173
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: local governments were responding to this sort of thing. In

174
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 3: another instance of the government being in cahoots with the

175
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: Daily Wire, on July fifth, twenty twenty three, the Attorney's

176
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: General of Indiana, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and South

177
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: Carolina sent a joint letter adjusted to Target's CEO, ostensibly

178
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: threatening legal action against Target for carrying LGBTQ merchandise. I'm

179
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: going to read some quotes from this letter because it's

180
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: a really interesting thing that I've never really seen done

181
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: before in terms of like five or six of these states,

182
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: all all coming together to act, actually affect the market quote.

183
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: Target's pride campaign not only raises concerns under our states

184
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 3: child protection and parental rights laws, but also against our

185
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: states economic interests. As Target shareholders, Target's management has a

186
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: finicciary duty to our States as shareholders in the company.

187
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: The evidence suggests that Target's directors and officers may be

188
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: negligent in undertaking the pride campaign, which negatively affected Target's

189
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: stock price. Moreover, it may have improperly directed company resources

190
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: for collateral, political, or social goals unrelated to the companies

191
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: and its shareholders best's interests. It is likely more profitable

192
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: to sell the type of pride that enshrines the love

193
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 3: of the United States. Target's pride campaign alienates, whereas pride

194
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: in our country unites. Target's management has no duty to

195
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 3: fulfill stores with objectionable goods, let alone endorse or feature

196
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: them in attention grabbing displays at the behest of radical activists. However,

197
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: Target's management does have a fiduciary duty to its shareholders

198
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: to act in the company's best interests. Targets board and

199
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: management may not lawfully dilute their fiduciary duties to satisfy

200
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: the boards or the left wing activists desire to foist

201
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 3: contentious political or social agendas upon families and children at

202
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: the expense of the company's hard won goodwill and against

203
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: its best interests unquote. And it's just generally not a

204
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 3: great sign when the government is trying to convince a

205
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: business that it's in their legal and financial interests to

206
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: throw the gaze to the wolves.

207
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: Now, it's also, yeah, that's not how fiduciary duty works. Like, no,

208
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 2: it's not a legal principle. It's more of a philosophical

209
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: principle among capitalists that is dominant. But like, you actually

210
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: are not breaking the law by doing something that's not

211
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: in fiduciary interest of your shareholders. That's, among other things,

212
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: basically impossible to pre anyway. Whatever. This is all like it,

213
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: but it's a question of like what you can get

214
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 2: away with, right. This is what fascists always do. And

215
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: it's from a strategic standpoint. If you're looking at the

216
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: culture war as a kind of mutual insurgency, it's a

217
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 2: strategy of denying terrain to the enemy, in this case,

218
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: access to a place that is available in basically every

219
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: state where trans people can purchase stuff like binders and

220
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: get to try them all Like it's making life. It's

221
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: reducing maneuvering space for the enemy, as they see it.

222
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this campaign worked specifically because of the Christian

223
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: rights willingness to use physical violence, property destruction, and threats

224
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: against workers to achieve their goals. That is why Target

225
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: caved because enough of their employees were feeling threatened, enough

226
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: of their displays were being destroyed and ransacked. No one

227
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: was held accountable because they're not going to arrest these

228
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: people for the stuff. And that's what causes to really

229
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: have any level of success. Now, during Pride Month back

230
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, Starbucks union members began coming forward

231
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 3: saying that Starbucks and store managers weren't letting employees put

232
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: up their usual Pride decorations, telling workers that it was

233
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: a safety concern, citing recent incidents at Target and the

234
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: Manufactured Above Light controversy. Now, Starbucks Corporate claimed that they

235
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: made no policy changes regarding Pride decorations, but that quote

236
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: retail leaders continued to work with store teams to find

237
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: ways to celebrate their communities, keeping in mind our safety

238
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: standards unquote, So I think this was more up to

239
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: kind of like local ownership and local management. The union

240
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: publicized confirm instances of managers not letting workers wear pride

241
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: pins or put up flags, and then in early June,

242
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: a regional director ordered a collection of one hundred stores

243
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: across Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri to throw out pride decorations

244
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: from previous years and were barred from putting up any

245
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: Pride related decor inside stores. The Union claims that there

246
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: was workers in a total of twenty one states that

247
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: were not allowed to put up pride decorations. And I

248
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: think for the Daily Wire hosts that are pushing this

249
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: sort of stuff, and especially Michael Knowles, especially Matt Walsh,

250
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: their motive is deeply theological for this, But for the

251
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: Daily Wire this is deeply economical because all of this

252
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: also serves as free advertising for the Daily Wire, and

253
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: it builds the personal brand of their hosts, which is

254
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: the very thing that Jeremy Boring was trying to get

255
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: started with Ben Shapiro back during Truth Revolt. This was

256
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: his whole idea was building up the personal brand of

257
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: these of these of these right wing media figures, and

258
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: all of this anti queer stuff provides really really great

259
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: marketing to propel these one time very niche figures into

260
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: actual like national spotlight. Do you know what else deserves

261
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: to be put into the spotlight, Robert.

262
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: Now, that's a crime. All of my ideas are to

263
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: suggest crimes. So let's just move on.

264
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: Let's just let's you know, I think ads what deserves Huh.

265
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: There we go the spotlight.

266
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: Great, all right, we are back. It's once again time

267
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: to talk about the Daily Wire Plus and their hit

268
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: new streaming service. So when Jeremy Boring announced the Daily

269
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: Wire Plus back in twenty twenty two, the early marketing

270
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: was made in response to the Disney Company having very

271
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: very very very slight pushback on Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill. Now,

272
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: a big part of the Daily Wire Plus announcement was

273
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: about how Disney has been woke afying children's TV shows,

274
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: and so the Daily Wire decided to position itself as

275
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: a safe alternative media hub for conservative families. I'm going

276
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: to play a short clip from the announcement.

277
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: There is unbelievable kids content in the mark.

278
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: The beauty of kids content is that unlike adult content

279
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: there's always new kids and they go back and watch it.

280
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 4: So there's an unbelievable library of content. Most of it's

281
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 4: at Disney, let's be honest. But it's not that the

282
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 4: content isn't great, it's that you can't trust the platform.

283
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 4: You can't put your kids in front of a classic

284
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 4: piece of Disney content because you don't know that the

285
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 4: very next thing that plays won't be that not so

286
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: secret gay agenda that teaches your daughter that she's a boy.

287
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: That's why we have to have Daily wire Plus. So

288
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: that is that is what they're framing the Daily wire Plus.

289
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: Ass That's that's why the Daily wire Plus is important. Also,

290
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: I love how he said that kid's content is so

291
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 4: profitable because there keeps being kids, unlike adult content, which

292
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 4: doesn't make any sense because kids.

293
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: We stopped aging. But like a plague hit, it doesn't

294
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: make any sense at all. Yeah, that's like a reverse

295
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: Children of Men sort of feel. Anyway, God, what a

296
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: mess that would be. Man, that's not a bad idea

297
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: for a movie. Just people keep making more babies but

298
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: they never grow up. So just like a dwindling number

299
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: of adults and infinite babies. That's not bad, not a

300
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: bad idea.

301
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 3: This is why I like watching Jeremy Boring because there's

302
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: so many moments like this, because he's so not charismatic,

303
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: but his complete void just makes I just can't stop

304
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: staring into the void.

305
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I already just listening to thirty seconds of him.

306
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: I've had an idea for a multimillion dollar adaptation, gritty

307
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: adaptation of the Rugrats. I think we could, really, we

308
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: can make a lot of money with this.

309
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: So a press release put out by The Daily Wire

310
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: itself went into more detail about the company's child content initiative.

311
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: Now I'm gonna read this, this is a direct quote.

312
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: Quote.

313
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: On Wednesday evening, the Daily Wires co CEO and god

314
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: King Jeremy Boring, announced that the Daily Wire Company town

315
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 3: hall that the company will invest a minimum of one

316
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars over the next three years into a

317
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: line of live action and animated children's entertainment on its

318
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 3: streaming platform unquote, and that that term god King is

319
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: constantly how Jeremy refers to himself, which I guess is

320
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: supposed to be a joke, but the fact that he

321
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 3: does it at all is is is the actual joke.

322
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: That the fact that he just calls himself the God King.

323
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 3: Is what a what a perfect look into the soul

324
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: of just a completely dead man. Yeah, he the God

325
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: King of the Daily Wire. That's that's been like rewritten

326
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: in like deadline variety, like actual publications have been forced

327
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: to write the God King. Jeremy boring anyway. So to

328
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: start this child content initiative, Jeremy brought some writers from

329
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: Netflix's Veggietails and The Babylon Bee to head up their

330
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: kid's content. I have a picture in my script here

331
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: that Robert can see of Eric Brand's gum, which is

332
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: a great name.

333
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is an amazing name.

334
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: Who is the co creator of the first Daily Wire

335
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: kids show, Chipchilla and Robert, do you want to describe

336
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 3: what's in this picture of Eric?

337
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there is a heavy set man wearing a

338
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: T shirt that is to be frank a little tighter

339
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: than is comfortable. He's got a red beard, he has

340
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: sunglasses on. It looks like right up above his hairline.

341
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: A massive Confederate flag lines the wall behind him, and

342
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: he appears to be casually pointing a handgun at his penis,

343
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: at his dick. Yes, yes, can't tell if his fingers

344
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 2: through the trigger guard. But I hope so.

345
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that is the co creator of Chipchilla, which

346
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: we will we won't get to in a sec Now,

347
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 3: I don't know this.

348
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: Also, there are four to six moist spots on his

349
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: shirt and it does not it doesn't. It's not a

350
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: flattering look. I'm not body shaming the man. I'm just

351
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: saying there are four to six moist spots on his

352
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: shirt and I wouldn't want to be filmed with that

353
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: many moist spots on my shirt while pointing a gun

354
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: at my dick in front of a Confederate flag.

355
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know if this is either despite or

356
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 3: because of The Daily Wire's constant attacks on how Disney

357
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: has a gay agenda. But The Daily Wire did manage

358
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: to acquire some talent from Disney. In August of twenty

359
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: twenty two, they recruited the showrunner of the Emmy winning

360
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 3: animated series Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, Chris Sonnenberg, to be the

361
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: Senior VP of Animation Development and Production at The Daily Wire. Now,

362
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 3: they most likely got this guy vi Jeremy Boring's and

363
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: Sonenberg's mutual friend, Zachary Levi, who again was in was

364
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 3: in Boring's first movie, and zachar Levit also starred as

365
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: Flynn Ryder Entangled and This and This Tangled animated series

366
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: for the Disney Channel. So I'm guessing this is how

367
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: this connection was made. But yeah, so this this guy

368
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 3: who was actually like a very successful, like mainstream showrunner

369
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: for animated animated shows, some somehow decided to agree to

370
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: get hired by The Daily Wire and this is this

371
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: is now his jobs overseeing the animated production for chip Chilla.

372
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is the Bluey knock off. I mean, yes,

373
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: I get it, among other things. There's been a lot

374
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: of layoffs and animation. I have no doubt that a

375
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: number of people who don't align ideologically but are desperate

376
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 2: for a job and just more morally flexible than others

377
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: are going to wind up working for this project.

378
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So this past October, the Daily Wires multi

379
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: year initiative to create a slate of children's programing finally

380
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 3: had something to show. In another livestream announcement, Jeremy Boring

381
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: ranted about how Disney is using their parent trusted brand

382
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: to quote indoctrinate children into the LGBTQIA cult unquote Now.

383
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 3: While he praised Walt Disney as an American entrepreneur, Jerry

384
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: Boring derided the current state of the Disney Company as

385
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: quote pushing all of the worst excesses of the woke left,

386
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: including paying for employees abortions, promoting anti racism training end quote,

387
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: going to war on behalf of the left wing social

388
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: policy in Florida unquote. Boring framed Disney's quite tame political

389
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: stances as a huge cultural loss for conservatives. And here's

390
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 3: a part of that announcement.

391
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 5: It would be impossible to overstate just how big a

392
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 5: loss this is for Americans who believe in basic reality.

393
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 5: Disney controls the greatest content library ever created. Their cultural reach,

394
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 5: particular with children, is beyond anything that's ever existed. Recognizing

395
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 5: the scope of this loss, the Daily Wire announced that

396
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 5: we would spend one hundred million dollars over three years

397
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 5: to begin our own kids entertainment company. And today, on

398
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 5: the one hundredth anniversary of the day Walt Disney founded

399
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 5: his company, I'm proud to announce the launch of ours,

400
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 5: introducing bent Key, an entirely new company for The Daily Wire,

401
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 5: a company dedicated to creating the next generation of timeless

402
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: stories to transport kids into a world of adventure, imagination

403
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 5: and joy.

404
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so Bent bent Key, Robert, how do how

405
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 3: do you feel about one? The name, the name bent Key,

406
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: and the and the the bent Key logo.

407
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: The bent Key logo looks like a flaccid penis.

408
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 3: He does kind of look like a flacid penis.

409
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not an appealing name. You know.

410
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: One thing you've got to say for Walt Disney, and

411
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: I guess it's impossible to say, Like my head says,

412
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: there's something just kind of inherently attractive about the last

413
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: name Disney. Yeah, like made it always a good brand.

414
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: But maybe if like if he'd been named Blufpo, would

415
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: it have worked, Would Bluffo Entertainment be be the cultural

416
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: powerhouse that it became. I can't even we can't answer

417
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: Disney's such a thing. You can't answer it even.

418
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they could have gone with boring entertainment, but I

419
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 3: guess they, Yeah, that was not gonna happen.

420
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: Bluffo's a better one than boring.

421
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 3: But yeah, bent Keys. That's the word bent and the

422
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: word key, and yeah, the logo is this lowercase B

423
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 3: with a little droopy arm connecting to the letter K.

424
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, which doesn't really look like a key, but does

425
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: look a little bit like an abstracted penis. You've got

426
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 2: the B part kind of forming the head. You've got

427
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: the ties of the key are two balls. I would

428
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: have given it three times if I was making the key,

429
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: just so it didn't look like balls.

430
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: Ah. Well, do you know what else? Is a really

431
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: important announcement that we have for our audience now, it's

432
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: these products and services that support this podcast. To pay

433
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 3: close attention. This is crucial information about the fight for

434
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: America and to secure our values. Okay, all right, we

435
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 3: are back back to talk about bent Key Entertainment, the

436
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: new hit streaming service that your kids can enjoy. So

437
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: the Daily Wire Kids content used to be under the

438
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: banner of just Daily Wire Kids or DW Kids, right,

439
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: and the choice to rebrand, even with a name as

440
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 3: silly as bent Key, I think is actually one of

441
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: their smarter moves here. They recognize that The Daily Wire

442
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: is a very politically charged and possibly limiting title if

443
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: they want to create a growing children's media company. Now, ever,

444
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: since what is a Woman and up to their most

445
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: recent releases like Lady ballers. The name the Daily Wire

446
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 3: has actually been hidden or not included in like legal

447
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: contracts and forms when people are signing up to these projects.

448
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 3: So I think bent Key allows them to cast the

449
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: widest net possible to not only, you know, get people

450
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: to buy their service, but also to get people to

451
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: collaborate with them on media. And it also like it

452
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: also works to attract parents that might not even be

453
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: aware of what the Daily Wire is. It's just this

454
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 3: new kids streaming service company. And also bent Key Ventures

455
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: also happens to be the name of the Daily Wire's

456
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: parent company, so that's probably why they picked it. I

457
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: still don't know what bent Key means, but it's also

458
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: the name of the parent company for the Daily Wire,

459
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: which is probably the name they're going to use for

460
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: a lot of like their contracts, and they're trying to

461
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 3: like get like actors and like producers to sign into

462
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 3: their stuff. Because whenever someone sees the Daily wiren't on something,

463
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 3: if they're if they're smart at all, they'll be like

464
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: absolutely not. But if the word bent Key is on

465
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 3: there instead, maybe that won't raise as many red flags.

466
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 3: So the new child focused app is available for only

467
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: ninety nine dollars a year, hell hell of a steal.

468
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: Wow And at launch included one hundred and fifty episodes

469
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: across eighteen different shows, four of which were produced in house,

470
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: with new episodes airing every Saturday morning. Their flagship show,

471
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: Chipchilla is about a family of homeschooled chinchillas. Now, some

472
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: have pointed out that this appears to be a blatant

473
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: conservative ripoff of the very popular kids show Bluey. Yes,

474
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: and I have I have a picture comparing Blue and Chipchill, Like.

475
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: You're the same fucking animation style.

476
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 3: Yeah except except. I think this also shows that if

477
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: you've seen any of the Bluey art, you can compare

478
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: it to the Chip Chilla art. They do look similar

479
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: in like color palette, but there is a massive difference

480
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: in like the appealing design of Blue which actually looks

481
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: pretty good versus the the design of the Chip Chilla

482
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: characters just looks slightly off it. It looks kind of

483
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: like they're all on like half a tab of acid

484
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: versus yeah versus Bluey looks like has like pretty good

485
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 3: character design like it has it has a lot of

486
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: it has a lot of range for like expressions versus

487
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 3: everyone in Chip chill. It just all has the same

488
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: like wide eyed look.

489
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: Pretty widely considered to be like one of the better

490
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 2: children's animated shows. That's that's just existed.

491
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so somehow, the somehow the Blue Dog Show must

492
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: have been too woke, so instead in the Daily Wires version,

493
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: the kids are all homeschooled and operate as like a

494
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: stereotypical nuclear family.

495
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

496
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: So this was This was the first show they announced,

497
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: but they have others. Their other original content includes a

498
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 3: show where a middle aged woman talks to a dog

499
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: puppet god.

500
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, lamb chop okay.

501
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: And two other original live action shows star child actors

502
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: that teach fitness and history to kids. And all of

503
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 3: between all of the Daily Wire original content I've watched.

504
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: The thing I feel most uncomfortable about is the amount

505
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: of child actors who've been forced into doing this, who

506
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: don't know anything about the Daily Wire or politics. They're

507
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: just these poor kids who've now been forced to participate

508
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: in this like evil machine. Now, I'm gonna play a

509
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: one minute, one minute trailer for Robert. I'm not gonna

510
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 3: play it for the audience here, because you don't need

511
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: to just hear this ad but you will hear our

512
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: reactions afterwards. So here's for Robert. Here is the trailer

513
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: for bent Key. Oh god, how'd you feel about the

514
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: bent Key trailer? Robert?

515
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, we'll see if it

516
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: takes off. I'm sure it could be a profitable business,

517
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: right yeah, yeah yeah. In terms of capturing the wider

518
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: cultural market, I don't see it being a Disney level

519
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: success or even like a Nickelodeon level success. I'm looking

520
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: at it right now on Twitter. It's got four hundred

521
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: and ninety likes and six hundred something thousand views. So again,

522
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: I can see them getting enough downloads to make this

523
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: maybe worthwhile enough. If they're spending thirty million or more

524
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: a year on production, that is going to be kind

525
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: of hard, especially given like bandwidth costs and shit to

526
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll say, yeah, I'm surprised if it's

527
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: able to be a functional business. I don't think. I

528
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 2: don't see anything on there that makes me think, oh

529
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: this is kids are going to fall in love with

530
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: this shit. Most of these most great like children's networks

531
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: and children's like entertainment companies were driven by iconic successes

532
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: that like absolutely took over and were like dominant culturally.

533
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: You think about like in the early nineties, shit like Aladdin, right,

534
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: and like or The Lion King, how fucking everywhere and

535
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: how a generation before you had, you know, the earlier

536
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: generation of Disney animated movies. You think about stuff like

537
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or like the Uh. That

538
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: kind of stuff was was not just it was dominant

539
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: among kids, but it also like adults continue to watch

540
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: it for generations. And I've never run into anybody outside

541
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: of weird right wings outside it's not even weird right

542
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: wing circles. I've never run out into anybody who has

543
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: not work for The Daily Wire talking about these shows.

544
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: Yes, I think there's a few things about that. I

545
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: think one, they don't need kids to like it. They

546
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 3: only need parents to pay the annual fee.

547
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, for it to make sense, it's a business for

548
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: it to for it to do culturally what they want,

549
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: rather more is required.

550
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 3: At least a few years ago, they were pulling in

551
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: over one hundred million dollars in revenue per year. And

552
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: one thing that Daily Wire has shown is that they

553
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: are kind of playing the long game with this sort

554
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: of stuff. They're not looking for short term profit. They're

555
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: looking to slowly build dominance in this industry, mostly to

556
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: just fulfill Jeremy and Ben's dreams of working in Hollywood.

557
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: Like that's all this is is that they're trying to

558
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: fill their childhood dreams of making movies. So all of

559
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: this is just being put towards making industry connections to

560
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 3: be able to actually just make TV and films like that.

561
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: That's all this is actually four so which leads us

562
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: to the most ambitious upcoming bent Key production, a live

563
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: action fairy tale adaption written by Jeremy Boring in response

564
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: to Disney's own upcoming remake of their classic film snow White.

565
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 5: The company Disney found it doesn't agree with their founder

566
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: and visionary they're remaking their own iconic film nearly one

567
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 5: hundred years later. They've decided to make some key changes.

568
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: Their lead actress the new snow White, Rachel Ziegler, has

569
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 5: summed it up saying, quote, I just mean it's no

570
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 5: longer nineteen thirty seven. We absolutely wrote a snow White

571
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 5: that she's not going to be saved by the Prince,

572
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 5: and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.

573
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 5: She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be,

574
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: and the leader that her late father told her she

575
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 5: could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true.

576
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 5: While Disney still uses Walt's name, they've all been abandoned

577
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 5: his legacy. Instead of telling stories about timeless truth, what

578
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 5: the ancient fairy tales were all about, Disney's New snow

579
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 5: White is an apology for their past and will expose

580
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 5: children to the popular but destructive lies of the current moment,

581
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 5: which is why, in addition to announcing the launch of

582
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 5: our Kids Entertainment Company, I also want to announce today

583
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 5: that company's first live action feature film. It's a story

584
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 5: about a princess and a prince, about beauty and vanity,

585
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 5: about love and its power to raise us from death

586
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 5: to life. It's our nation of an ancient fairy tale.

587
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 5: It's coming in twenty twenty four, and it's called So.

588
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 3: Before I play the rest of the trailer for Robert,

589
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 3: there is a few funny things about this clip that

590
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: I just played for the audience as well. Mostly when

591
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 3: he's describing like the New Disney snow White, it's like

592
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: a very like sensible message that the lead actor was

593
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: talking about He's like, this is horrible. Imagine.

594
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: I also don't even think it's a great message. Like

595
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: it's a very conservative message that like this woman is

596
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 2: born to lead and it is about her finding her

597
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 2: place in the bread, in hierarchy of her of her state.

598
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: Like that's a pretty conservative message. They just hate it

599
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: because a Walm set it.

600
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 3: Yes, but now will I will play you the very

601
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: brief like thirty second trailer based on like this one,

602
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 3: this one thing they've shot.

603
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: One subera Jesus Christ.

604
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: So bad, a tale of typeless truth.

605
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: Prince would come. Wow, little on the nose. Oh my god.

606
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: She's even got a basket of red apples, the kind

607
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: of apples that don't exist anywhere but a gene engineered farm.

608
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

609
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: Oh and it's clearly snow white. Oh my god.

610
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: Yes, ah fuck, So I actually I actually do want

611
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: to play that for the audience because it's just so nunny.

612
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: You keep that in there. That's that's good because like

613
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 2: the song they've got in there is like completely without wonder.

614
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: She's like once upon a time a principal come or

615
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 2: some shit. She's like in the woods picking apples that

616
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: are like a color of red that you don't even

617
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: see in the like not a natural red at all,

618
00:36:54,840 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: just just profoundly off putting in weird. So a hundred

619
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: in seventy seventeen thousand views. So I don't know, we'll

620
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: see if this beats the original snow White or whatever

621
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: snow White real actors and writers are making.

622
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 3: So this is This is snow White and the Evil Queen.

623
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure if you pick this up. This

624
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: is this is starring failed actor and the Daily Wire's

625
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: own gen Z female clone of Ben Shapiro, Brett Cooper

626
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: as snow White. It's that other Daily Wire host that

627
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 3: looks like a weird female version of Ben Shapiro is

628
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: starring as Snowing. And it all just looks like really

629
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: bad cosplay. Like the it is, it was quite something.

630
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: So that is That is their first bent Key upcoming

631
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 3: original movie. So I'm sure everyone's gonna be excited for

632
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: that one. And like it seems the entire bent Key

633
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 3: strategy is to either be so banal that it it

634
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: appeals to like unassuming parents who don't know what The

635
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 3: Daily Wire is, or to create these like fake culture

636
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: war outrage moments to scare parents into thinking that woke

637
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: corporations are trying to turn their kids gay or or

638
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: trying to turn their kids into like feminists, and the

639
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: only way to stop that is to give the Daily

640
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 3: Wire one hundred dollars a year to watch failed screenwriters

641
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 3: and actors poorly imitate better pieces of film and TV.

642
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 2: I think the trouble they're going to have here is

643
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: that there's a I think a discrepancy between what would

644
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: do the best job of achieving what they claim as

645
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 2: their social mission right, which is incepting conservative ideas into

646
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: mass culture by taking over pop entertainment, and they're what

647
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: is clearly their more important goal, which is making a

648
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: lot of money. Because the best way to make a

649
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: lot of money, and I think they there's a good

650
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: chance they can succeed building a content network for their

651
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: weirdo fans that cost one hundred dollars a year, but

652
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: they want to reach the most people. The best thing

653
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 2: to do would be to get to a point where

654
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: they can sell their videos streaming to Netflix and the like,

655
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: But that doesn't keep people in their walled garden, and

656
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: also probably is less profitable over time than having a

657
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: monopoly on this shit. And so I don't know what

658
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 2: they're going to choose to do. That'll be interesting to watch,

659
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean it's the kind of thing as

660
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: a business this could work for sure. We'll see about

661
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 2: the other stuff.

662
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: And again, so this is only half of their efforts,

663
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 3: because on top of the one hundred million dollars put

664
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 3: towards children's program thing which has resulted in bent Key,

665
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 3: the Daily Wire Plus was also putting an additional one

666
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars into more adult oriented entertainment. Now, most

667
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 3: of the Daily Wires production effort has been going into

668
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 3: adapting the Christian Arthurian novels The Pendragon Cycle into a

669
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 3: live action seven episode mini series directed by Jeremy Boring.

670
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: The upcoming fantasy series just wrapped filming in Europe this

671
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 3: past fall. The cast is mostly made up of like

672
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 3: Sealist actors.

673
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: Never never, I don't know where they made this scarrison,

674
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: but never has a production seemed more Croatia than this.

675
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: It's filled in Hungary and Italy.

676
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 2: So oh my god, I was close. I was close.

677
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 3: There you go, there you go?

678
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 2: Ah, Okay.

679
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: The cast is made up of mostly like sealst actors,

680
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: some Daily Wire staff and actors from small rules in

681
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 3: like Game of Thrones and The Witcher. So this is

682
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 3: coming out later this year. It's based on this series

683
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 3: of novels that came out in the in the two thousands.

684
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: It's it's it's like an Arthurian story, but set slightly

685
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 3: before the rise of like England. It's it's during like

686
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 3: the fall of like British Rome. I think is what

687
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: they call it now.

688
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: Guys, I'm sorry. We all got to see a great

689
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: Arthurian cycle movie recently, and something tells me this one's

690
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 2: gonna have a lot less of a guy coming into

691
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: a scarf.

692
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 3: You don't think it's You don't think this will be

693
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 3: as good as The Green Knight.

694
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna get a real fucking clear

695
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: shot of one guy's come in a scarf. I'll tell

696
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 2: you that.

697
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: I trust director Jeremy Boring's vision to.

698
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: Man.

699
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 3: But the project I am the most excited about is

700
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 3: that The Daily Wire has acquired exclusive rights to adapt

701
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: Inin Rand's Atlas Shrugged into a television series. Oh wish good,

702
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's like, that's like being an opponent

703
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: of the Nazis in nineteen forty one and hearing that

704
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: they've just invaded the Soviet Union.

705
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 2: Like, oh thank god, Okay, okay, we're on the down

706
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: swing of this one.

707
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 3: Boys, I am. I am so excited to see the

708
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 3: libertarian wet dream that's gonna be this Atlas Shrugged TV show.

709
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: There is no one else I would rather adapt to

710
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 3: Atlas Shrugged than the Daily Wire pose.

711
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 2: Shrug is like famously like the least filmable thing of

712
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: all time, like it's it's.

713
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: The gout Heads actually could be like a fine movie,

714
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 3: but Atlas, I don't. I'm I'm excited to.

715
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 2: Think you can make Atlas Shrugged to do. I hope,

716
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: I hope they do shot for shot that one like

717
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: seventy page speech that what's his name goes on? Oh yeah,

718
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,200

719
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: Ah.

Speaker 3: So yeah, I am actually excited to excited to not

721
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: like hate watch, but like curiously staring into the void

722
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 3: watch their Atlas there at Las Shrug show. But the

723
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 3: one Daily wireplus series that I am not very much

724
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 3: excited about is an upcoming adult animated descripted series created

725
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: by Adam krolla entitled Mister Burchum.

726
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,959
Speaker 2: God in Heaven. Yeah I saw ads for this one.

727
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, this show's description sounds like the most old man

728
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 3: yells at cloud premise I've ever heard quote. Mister Bircham

729
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 3: attempts to navigate a world he doesn't understand or approve of.

730
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 3: He's befuddled by his gaming streamer's son Eddie, annoyed at

731
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 3: his selfie taking snowflake students, and is constantly at war

732
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 3: with the school district's appointed Jedi Justice, Equality, Diversity and

733
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: Inclusion officer, mister CARPONSEI unquot So that's that's the description

734
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: of the show, which I don't know about you. That

735
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 3: sounds like a horrible time. The cast includes Corolla as

736
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 3: mister Burcham, Megan Kelly, Roseanne Barr, conservative comedian Tyler Fisher,

737
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: Daily Wire hosts Brett Cooper and Canas Owens, comedian Alonso Broden,

738
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 3: a former Amy Schumer, writer Kyle Dunningen, and unfortunately Danny

739
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: Treyjoe and Patrick Warburton.

740
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 2: That that last one hurts, that last one, I know.

741
00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 3: That's I know it, sat Let's I I am going

742
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: to play this for the audience because, oh my.

743
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not surprised that being in Venture Brothers

744
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: didn't pay enough for him to avoid this.

745
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and apparently Warburton is a conservative. I am interested

746
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 3: to see what some of these people were told before

747
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 3: they agreed to this, because I know the dad player's

748
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 3: name has been hidden in a lot of contracts.

749
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: Well, and Adam Caroling is a real comedian, Like I

750
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,040

751
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 2: a career in Hollywood. Yeah, I get it. So yeah,

752
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,560

00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 3: gaming chair.

776
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: When I was on the construction site, my chair was

777
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: a five gallon bucket.

778
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 3: Was also my toilet.

779
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 2: See, it's what's amazing about that? All of that Megan

780
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: Kelly and like terrible voices to them. Adam Carolla sounds

781
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: like a parody of himself. He's going too hard into gruff.

782
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 2: It just it's maybe maybe if I see the show,

783
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: it'll be better because it may just have picked some

784
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 2: lines where he was doing that, but there's not much

785
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 2: character to his voice. What I will say is I

786
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: hate that he's in this, But Patrick Burton still a

787
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 2: pro every man. That man can do a line read.

788
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: That man knows how to do a fucking line read.

789
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 3: No, it's weird how many of these are like actual

790
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 3: comedians who have been who are being forced to read

791
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 3: like non binary and they're like they don't know what

792
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 3: non binary means they're just being forced to read a

793
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 3: script written by Ben Shapiro, and they're like, one of

794
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: these words, it doesn't matter, just keep going.

795
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, get your paycheck. I don't know, it's it's it's

796
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 2: a bummer.

797
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 5: Uh yeah.

798
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: I it's weird because, like Adam Carola, I've never felt

799
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: anything positive towards or particularly negative towards until recently. I

800
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 2: guess now I'm on the negative side. Even with this,

801
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 2: I still feel overall good about Patrick Warburt, and he's

802
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 2: just given me too much. It'll take a lot.

803
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 3: So this this, that is most of what I wanted

804
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 3: to talk about, because the only other Daily Wire project

805
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 3: I have anything to say about is the movie that

806
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 3: came out a few months ago, Lady Ballers, and I

807
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 3: I could not, I could not fit my Lady Baller's

808
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 3: thoughts into this episode because that is that is gonna

809
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: be its own, its own special event.

810
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 2: That's that's gonna be your Fittigan's Wake.

811
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 3: Yes, So a few weeks ago I watched it for

812
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 3: the first time. I took a lot of notes. I'm

813
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 3: gonna watch it again here and we are gonna go

814
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 3: deep into the production of this movie. This thing was

815
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 3: shot this This just just as a peak of of

816
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 3: of of of the writing quality you're you're about to

817
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 3: hear about. The whole strip is written in two weeks.

818
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 3: It was, it was shot in like a month. It's

819
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: it's it stars the only Daily Wire hosts. Every single

820
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 3: actor they approached for this turned it down because they're like,

821
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 3: absolutely not, no, fuck this shit. And it is a

822
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 3: It is a a insightful, insightful look into the soul

823
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 3: of Jeremy Boring. He wrote, directed, produced, and starred in

824
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:27,200
