That was this blog, media property company.

And The Daily Wire, you know, with his help became like the biggest publisher on Facebook for many months, beating out, you know, CNN, Fox, New York Times.

It just became this unstoppable property at the time.

I would say probably about 2020.

That was the year when the Daily Wire was consistently month after month becoming the top publisher on Facebook.

That was their peak Facebook posting time.

That was their peak ad revenue time.

They were making $100 million or more a year, which is completely insane even now for what was essentially a blog.

Even in conservative media, they were a huge outlier.

And they were riding so high and they were making so much money that for a time it was like they didn't really even know what to do with the money.

They were this blog that had become this giant media empire.

And so they started kind of

thrashing in a lot of different directions and exploring a lot of different ways to spend um they had ben shapiro there was one other important guy in the operation named jeremy boring who was this basically this theater kid my friend co-founder co-ceo and most importantly the god king of the daily wire jeremy boring moved to l.a as a young man with stars in his eyes 20 years ago and now

And we want our movies to be defined less by what they're about and more what they aren't about, which is left-wing sucker punches and left-wing propaganda.

You know, his big push was to take the anti-woke model they had been successful at in their blog and on Facebook and really make this...

alternate Hollywood and make all of these different media properties that were anti-woke and satirical and anti-left.

And so, you know, they started making movies.

They started like going into Hollywood and making these big feature films that they would put into theaters, movies like Lady Ballers.

A guy can become a girl with no physical changes at all.

And am I racist?
