Any truth to any of this? If so, thoughts?

Ben just said on Megyn Kelly’s show that financially they are just fine. And also added they are making big moves. I’ve seen rumors that Fox wants to buy them.

[u/Glad_Ad6948 → u/Zealousideal_Bend691]

DW selling to fox news would be such a fkn kick in the nuts. I love DW because they aren’t Fox News.

[u/Zealousideal_Bend691 → u/Glad_Ad6948]

It would I agree.

[u/5panks → u/Zealousideal_Bend691]

Where there's smoke, there may be fire. I'm doubtful that they hired a bankruptcy attorney because I'm pretty sure Milo Yianoppolis started the bankruptcy attorney rumor. That doesn't mean they aren't cleaning house after Jeremy left, but there is definitely a rise of antisemitism on the right that would like to see the Dailywire doing much worse than it is.

[u/Zealousideal_Bend691 → u/5panks]

Nothing is true until I see a legitimate news source or journalist reporting on this. Ben could be lying but I highly doubt it because it would be such a blatant out of character move for him.

[u/Pears009 → u/Zealousideal_Bend691]

Because Ben Shapiro would never lie? Right?  It’s not like he’s gonna tell the truth and say, “ Oh yeah, we’re in a heap of trouble!!!” He’s gonna of course lie through his teeth. Wants to try to keep it under wraps as far as long as possible. Not scare any advertisers or investors. But of course, the truth and reality will eventually show up! What does Ben always say? “ Facts don’t care about your feelings?” Well, it seems like the facts are that they are in a lot of financial trouble, and sooner or later the truth will come out. Which is already starting to coalesce. Now give me a moment while I pull out the tiniest violin and play it for the Daily Wire. In fact, Ben can even join. He’s A pretty adapt and accomplished violinist.  

[u/SandwitchZebra → u/Zealousideal_Bend691]

Well, clearly if he said it than it must be true. He has no motivation to lie about his company’s financial status

[u/5panks → u/SandwitchZebra]

You're in /r/benshapiro I'm not sure what you're expecting. Did you expect a bunch of people in this subreddit to not believe him?

[u/Secret_Guitar4718 → u/Zealousideal_Bend691]

Cos that fuck never tells a lie.

[u/BrotherTerran]

no idea, and I'm honestly don't care too much. I hope DW is solvent and keeps on kicking butt. We may not agree on everything, but DW is an important player in the populist MAGA movement.

[u/PolarPros → u/BrotherTerran]

Populist? What world are you fucking living in dude. A post-modern neocon lite establishment hell bent on furthering international conflicts across the middle-east at the behest of the owners and donors/backers, on top of advocating domestic anti-populist policies—genuinely, what world are you living in?

Just because someone says “MAGA” or “I like Trump”, it does not make suddenly make them populists.

The dailywire excels however are consolidating populist support and diverting this energy elsewhere and down the wrong paths.

Edit:

Since people are so willfully blind/stupid, go ahead and name the populist positions the daily wire advocates for

• Warmongering our country at the behest of Israel is not populist.
• Pushing for the advancement of mega techno-corps swallowing our country whole and decimating Appalachia is not populist.
• Pushing for sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel for the middle east, is not populist.
• Pushing for the U.S. to not only conduct, but further military operations in the middle east is not populist.
• Pushing for the continued destruction of the middle/lower classes at the behest of the parasitic tech-donor class is not populist.

If your sole determination on whether they are populist or not is based on the fact they say trans women are not women(aka culture war shit), then you are simply a lost cause.

Yes, trains are men, wow, so brave! Populism is when you recognize troöns are r*tarded, folx

Downvote me all you want but truth is truth.

[u/LTtheWombat → u/PolarPros]

Please just actually listen to some content on the daily wire before commenting again.

[u/Jecht315 → u/LTtheWombat]

They employed Candace Owens. They are definitely not populist. She's nuts

[u/ewheck → u/PolarPros]

Ben Shapiro ≠ The Daily Wire. Knowles and Walsh disagree with Shapiro on a lot. IIRC Walsh straight up said the US should cancel aid to Israel.

[u/PolarPros → u/ewheck]

Actually Ben Shapiro = DW—Ben isn’t some random ass employee, he’s one of the founders and is the face of the company, he is central to the company and who is hired/kept/fired.

Matt is not representative of the DW, Matt is just Matt, at most you’ll see him as just a “host” of the daily wire.

Every single other person there is beholden to the same causes; allegiance to Israel—pretending this isn’t the case is cope, you’re lying to yourself, their rhetoric has always been extremely open and clear on these topics.

Disagreeing either means you’re willingly not seeing the truth for what it is, or you equally support and share the same allegiance they do.

[u/ewheck → u/PolarPros]

Actually Ben Shapiro = DW

Would only be true if he was the only pundit. I don't care who the CEO is. I don't care who the CFO is. I don't care who the COO is. I care about who the pundits are. The same logic applies to people who watched Tucker when he was on Fox even if they disliked Murdoch and co.

he is central to the company and who is hired/kept/fired

And he keeps a pundit on staff who said the US should cancel aid to Israel. Interesting.

Matt is not representative of the DW, Matt is just Matt, at most you’ll see him as just a “host” of the daily wire.

You are correct. He is ⅓ of their daily pundits.

Every single other person there is beholden to the same causes; allegiance to Israel

And what does "allegiance to Israel" mean? By reasonable definitions of those terms ⅔ of Daily Wire's daily pundits have no more "allegiance to Israel" than they do "allegiance to the United Kingdom."

Pretending this isn’t the case is cope, you’re lying to yourself.

[u/Licalottapuss → u/ewheck]

What does it matter? Ben is resolute in his cause. I’m sure there are people on his staff who might share some different views but support the overall cause wholeheartedly. Matt has his own ideas, but he’s also not openly and fervently against Israel. There is a big difference between thinking something should be something and actively advocating for it.

[u/Zealousideal_Bend691 → u/PolarPros]

I didn’t know the “Populist” had a creed but now we know.

[u/FloridaCutter]

As I have said for two years, the only thing they have to do to not find themselves in financial distress is not allow Jeremy to blow nine figures on weird niche entertainment nobody asked for because he’s butthurt actual Hollywood didn’t want him. I’m not surprised at all they are doing layoffs.

[u/JackFig12]

DW has become trash over the last 2 years.

[u/IMowGrass]

Looking at my calendar....this story checks

[u/FSU1ST → u/IMowGrass]

Fake news, they fired everyone.

[u/PFalcone33]

Left would love nothing more than see DW disappear.

[u/Never_Forget_711 → u/PFalcone33]

How ironic that it’s an implosion. I guess if you want to do gay shit like make terrible chocolate bars then you’d have to be making money elsewhere too. Lord knows the money wasn’t being put into making the app workable.

[u/Zealousideal_Bend691 → u/Never_Forget_711]

They didn’t “make” chocolate bars dumbass. Anyone can brand a chocolate bar nowadays. It was a response to M and M’s making “Trans” characters for commercials. They fought this culture war for years now with the help of subscriptions that should have been good enough for conservatives. If you want to say complain about the App that’s fair but to say the Chocolate was “gay shit” means you’re literally ignorant and probably into Russian propaganda from nefarious influencers from degenerate internet subcultures.

[u/saltysaysrelax]

Feels like Aprils fools joke.

[u/DrtyMikeandTheBoys]

I mean there is no way they are coming anywhere close to breakeven on all their movies (docs excluded) and children programming. They went way too hard and too fast at that. My gut says that Jeremy pushed them in that direction because he's a theater kid at heart who just happens to have conservative values. All that spending likely led to his departure.

[u/SlightlyCrazyVegan]

I don't think this is true, Ben Shapiros channel on social blade says its growing. Even if they lost out of all the movies, they would have accommodated that.

[u/Derocker]

I'm guessing Bentkey went bellyup

[u/toastyhoodie → u/Derocker]

I subscribed specifically for BentKey and it’s really a tough interface. Login issues constantly too.

[u/Derocker → u/toastyhoodie]

I never heard it advertised on any of the podcasts either. Idk I think getting into original content creation was a financial black hole. They should have stuck with what made them successful.

[u/SlightlyCrazyVegan → u/Derocker]

As an Australian, I never got access.

[u/scaryblackrifles]

Clickbait nonsense as per the norm. I’m sure we will hear direct from them when there is something to be said.

[u/Pera_Espinosa]

Lll

[u/LoFiEats]

Honestly, if this could be a wake up call for Ben to stop pandering to the MAGA republicans I would be so happy

[u/Pera_Espinosa]

If there is any truth to it and it will make a video clothing to the point of orgasm. Actually, she'll do that just the same even if there isn't. When has the truth ever deterred her from being a piece of shit.
