A feud between two of the largest names in right-wing media, Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire has broken out over a $50 million offer proposed to Crowder that he leaked on his show.
Crowder who is newly independent released the terms of the deal without explicitly naming The Daily Wire. In the video, Crowder urged his fans to “Stop Big Con” as he delved into the offer.
Fans quickly figured that Crowder was talking about Daily Wire, and have awaited a response from Ben Shapiro’s outlet.
Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing has now released an hour-long video breaking down the contract. Claiming that Crowder has misconstrued their offer.
Steven Crowder’s ‘Stop Big Con’ campaign explained
Daily Wire has put an initial offer forward to Steven Crowder in hopes of acquiring his talent.
Crowder appears to be ‘outraged’ by the offer and makes it public knowledge. He explains the terms sheet to his audience in two parts. One is that he would lose money if he failed to deliver all of his contractural episodes. Another is that his money could be reduced if he was banned from YouTube or any other platform.
He went on to claim that those in charge who he calls “the big conservatives” or “the big con” are really “the biggest cons going right now.” He alleges that in their contracts they will enforce the guidelines of Big Tech and “punish” conservatives on their behalf.
The 35-year-old show host then starts to read out the contract, focusing on demonetization. Crowder claims that if he gets “boycotted” or “dropped by more than 50% of the advertising partners” then his fee will be reduced by “25%.”
He talks mainly about YouTube demonetization, as this is what would affect his show. However, Crowder does state that these terms only apply if the company is not able to replace the advertisers within 90 days.
Steven Crowder further states that he is already demonetized on YouTube. This is something that Jeremy Boreing accepts in his response and says would have easily been “scratched out in a second draft.”
The Daily Wire responds to Steven Crowder’s ‘Stop Big Con’
Jeremy Boreing of Daily Wire has responded to Steven Crowder’s ‘Stop Big Con’ video in a YouTube clip posted to Daily Wire.
Boreing says that Crowder has been his friend for over a decade and believes he is one the best entertainers in the business. Further praising his “independent voice” and describing him as a “monster talent.”
Jeremy begins by explaining how they got the ‘conversation started.’ He then walks through the terms sheet that Daily Wire sent Steven. Boreing feels that Crowder has misinterpreted the document and firmly feels the offer they have made is “fair.”
The CEO alleges that Daily Wire was making the biggest investment they have ever made in talent. Explaining that it is a big “risk” but Steven is “worth” that. However, he did explain that if the talent wasn’t making them money, this has to be a “shared responsibility.”
Boreing concludes that this is one of the “saddest things he has had to face” and wishes he wasn’t having a “public dispute.”
