I have watched both and this is all just a negotiation using public sentiment now.
Will be even more interesting if crowder responds with a more conciliatory tone, or says that DW was just an example of the most recent term sheet but he wasn't angry at them alone.
Nick Rekieta has a pretty good breakdown of Boring's response to Crowder; DW is full of *****
All I see is an hour and 22 min video on Youtube and I don't want to invest that time without details, can you please summarize?
Watch on Rumble, don't give YouTube clicks. With that said, Rekeitas stream on Rumble is 4.5 hours, so it's going to take some time to filter through it all and make note of the highlights.
Edit: the discussion starts at around 17:00 in the video below
Edit: The 40 minute mark gets interesting as he starts slicing up Boerings argument.

Watched the first bit of it. He lost me early when he had came out defending Crowder and admitted he had not watched the video. Then he also was taking the tack that everything Crowder claimed was gospel. The Mug Club discussion was where I stopped because he didn't address that the concern for DW was verification of those subscribers and money which Crowder was very vague about. He also said that Crowder wanted the minimum number at $70 million or more when it appears that number was under $50 million because Boering said that he had to find a way to at least get to his minimum ask.
Just not a fan of him watching the video and commenting in real time when it is such a complicated topic and he started with a clear bias and stated right off the bat things that were not the case based on what happened in the video. Watch the damn video and then do a breakdown. When he throws out his conclusions at the beginning and then tries to make the video he is watching for the first time fit those conclusions it really hampers credibility.
lol more like blind supporting of DW no matter what they do.
Sure that's it, just ignore the lengthy arguments. I like and support DW in general but I certainly don't blindly support them. I disagree with many things they do and say but I try to be objective.
You clearly don't listen to them though if you somehow think Shapiro is a fan of gay marriage or that he believed in mandates. He probably was as transparent in following the science as anyone throughout Covid and he was always clear that this should involve personal decisions. He got vaxxed because he had elderly parents he spends a lot of time with but he would not vax his kids and he was outspoken in his opposition to mandates.
I get the neocon argument but it's also insincere. Bill Kristol is a neocon. Shapiro is a guy that really likes Israel and wants the US/Israeli relationship to be strong. That certainly ties in with his faith. He's a bit more pro involvement than I would like but he is definitely not a "let's go to war with everybody" kind of guy or a "America needs to be world cop" kind of guy. On Trump he was NeverTrump to start but gave him a fair shot once he was in office and has praised him when he did things he liked and criticized him when he didn't. He definitely doesn't like Trump's personal insults and stupid behavior, he mainly just wishes Trump would not shoot himself in the foot continually and get so easily distracted. It's not like Shapiro is unusual in that opinion.
In the end every commentator has flaws and things I agree with or disagree with. None are perfect. At least with DW they put real effort into being transparent and they have real skins on the wall in terms of the culture war with a lot of things they have done that weren't a direct money making enterprise for them. Some of their pro life content is as good as I have seen and honestly shifted me even further in that direction.
It's also noteworthy how hard they are still working to be complementary of Crowder through all of this and wish him success. It took a lot of balls for Boering to do that video so quickly and he was very professional in how he handled it.
