She texted him after that debate and said, you know, you really like this guy.

He's amazing.

He did this great debate.

He's a little too Trumpy.

And he goes, I'll take a look.

And so I guess the two of them were kind of like grooming me in a sense.

They wanted me to go maybe and be a daily wire or maybe looking me as a potential conservative activist or influencer.

And so they started paying attention to me.

And the more critical of Israel I was, I started to get this really intense pushback from the both of them and from a lot of the people at Daily Wire.

You have to look at it, not in retrospect, because hindsight is 20-20.

And so looking back, you could say they made a terrible mistake because look at sort of what they provoked or what they catalyzed.

But at that time, you got to consider I'm 18 with no following, with no network.

I'm coming from the suburbs of Chicago.
