You have a responsibility to pay for your family.
But if that's your highest priority, then definitionally all of your other priorities are subordinate to it.
The highest priority still has to be the mission.
In political media, if the highest priority isn't the mission, then pretty soon you're going to be peddling a bunch of things that aren't true, because the audience...
online will always reward falsehood.
They'll always ultimately reward like pornography.
I mean, if we just want to start a subscription business and make the most money online that we can make, we would all just go into porn.
The mission is always the highest value, not the only value.
Got to succeed, got to make money, got to do activism, got to win votes, got all the things that we have to do.
Mission always has to be number one.
One of my criticisms of the current state of conservative media is that there's very little that's currently being built to be long-lasting.
It really feels like we're all playing to the audience.
We're all playing to the algorithm.
We're all trying to be creatures of our time, of our moment.
And I think that that can bear a lot of short-term reward, but it's not going to bear a lot of long-term reward.
I think the conservative movement is really fractured and is in a lot of trouble.
I sometimes bristle at the what has the conservative movement conserved because I think that it's a line that people want to use to propose a more radical ideological positioning for the movement.
that in a way is itself not aimed at conserving anything that has traditionally been associated with America.
A lot of the what has conservatism conserved people are sort of like anti-American revolution, anti-democratic systems, anti-liberal, you know, lowercase l liberalism.
And I think that, of course, the reality is what conservatism in this country has conserved is the country.
