Everyone saying JP is classy here, but he confesses they pay him a ton of money. So what he’s really saying is “I’m NAWT risking my bloody payday, bucko!”

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

As someone that does not watch DW content anymore (since about 2019 or so), this comes off as people wanting JP to have the same opinion that _they_ do, about some pointless drama (of which I'm not aware). From what I've seen, a lot of Catholics tend to be dissatisfied, with anyone who doesn't agree with everything they think, at all times (and this seems to be a 'Catholic' channel). It's cult-like.

[@BigPhilly15]

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 I’m sure you’re accurately describing *some* people. However, you admit you haven’t watched the content, so it’s presumptuous of you to believe you understand my opinion.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@djoseph5072 & @pitface3016 (this goes for both of you) Your argument, which is the same argument for both of you, just in a different light, is flawed because it hinges on him being comprised “subconsciously or consciously” by money or camaraderie, which is unfalsifiable and speculation, because he could just not be. But we still have no idea. And ironically what’s your “subtextually explicit, subconsciously,” motivation for wanting to think, without evidence, that he’s comprised? There’s obviously a reason beyond Jordan himself. I mean there one thing to just make conclusions or theories on current and past evidence but your going beyond that, obviously, pulling subjective examples from your emotions. If we just went on his past track record besides the Israel and now Candice thing, the evidence of his integrity is in his favor, by a lot. But he could very well be compromised, but we have no idea either way, so I don’t think it’s helpful to anybody besides yourself, to make statements as unequivocally true that are based on literal assumptions about his character.

[@JoaoBarq]

Because the christians that they tolerate are the lukewarm christians. The ones that think that the universal religion concept, which tries to conceal the Truth behind the relativism, is aceptable. The ones that go to the Abrahamic Family House. While the ones that testify to the uniqueness of following Christ and say things like "Christ is King" are being persecuted. If they ever do any seminar about the Gospels, it will be that bland modernist view and not a true christian perspective.

So, I noticed the pattern and concluded that they're likely some kind of controlled opposition, and probably funded by Swamp dollars -- too many connections with people like Glenn Beck, etc.

[@Mdawgnhisposse23]

@@jeangold8789 I don't think what he said was terrible. Although I do think it was measured. He chose to talk about his own experience with the DW plainly because that's what he felt comfortable sharing in the moment and because of his fruitful partnership with them. And it's no wonder. It's like the DW took JP's ideas for potential projects, pumped them up with high-level production and a crap ton of funds and made them into a reality that was beyond anything he could have done himself. From his POV, it makes sense. "A contract has been worked out so that all of the stuff I want to do is backed by a multi-million dollar company with no drawbacks at my expense? Sign me up!!" (I mean, there was no way JP could have created that mini-documentary and tribute to Newfoundland and Rex Murphy without DW's backing). But I get it. People want him to criticize the DW for how they unjustly fired Candace but he chooses to sidestep the issue altogether because, as people believe/suspect, they're paying him generously and effectively tampering his tongue. For now though, I'll tentatively take JP's word at face value. I do hope it will 'sort itself out' and, as he also commented, that anything he could have said would only have caused more trouble than net benefit. Otherwise, he would be breaking his "tell the truth or at least don't lie" principle. And, to steal another one of his phrases, "These things are complicated!" A twitter/X exchange and clips regarding a messy termination issue of public figures and incorporated businesses, no matter how impressionable they can be, do not do enough justice to pierce the corporate veil to show the entirety or true character of Candace's interactions with DW that lead to the breakdown of their relationship. If this was just some beef between KZbinrs, I'd give the online exchanges/comments more weight (although what's shared online still probably is insufficient). But involving a corporation as big and complex as the DW doing business deals with a well-known figure like Candace who has her own backing vis-à-vis her well-capitalized, business-savvy husband? I'd suspect there was a lot more back and forth behind the scenes that isn't at least fully shared due to contracts, confidentiality agreements, privacy laws, professional ethics, etc. blah blah blah, etc. Call me a fence sitter, grifter, a DW/JP supporter, a Candace Owens hater, a willfully blind idiot, whatever, but I'd rather wait than cast dispersions without being sure of the full picture.

[@Compassiron1]

I would read that as being Dr JP being respectful to his partners/employers at the DW without casting pointless aspersions against Candace Owens. but also perhaps not wanting to add fuel to a fire on this in-fight within a burgeoning, powerful and popular neo-conservative alliance, as these fissures can become schisms and hamper the progress of what their big strategic objectives are.

[@micaiahwiersma6996]

There is no such thing as a fruitful discussion with Candace. There never has been. It is continuously astonishing how well she has managed to pull the wool over so many people's eyes just by throwing out the correct assortment of buzzwords. It just shows that a large plurality of those on the "neo-conservative" right are just as ideologically shallow and infantile as the screaming whiners on college campuses.

I think the real reason people are so upset about his response isn’t because they think he’s a shill, even if they do think he is, but it’s because they, themselves, need someone to tell them if the daily wire and Shapiro and all of them can be trusted. And when he said he has nothing to say either you take that as he’s being courteous and truthful or he’s sold out and won’t say what he actually believes. I mean Peterson jumped on the Israel bandwagon so quick people were kinda shocked by that and then the accusations of him selling out came flooding in more than ever before and it could be true on that but also we have no idea if that’s actually what he 100% believes or was told to, but he also said they leave him alone, so who knows. It doesn’t matter who he partners up with, there will always be people throwing these kind of accusations around. I mean why else would you get so upset besides already hating him to begin with? It’s pretty obvious.

If there is a black massacre she would jump up and down, not that silent. During the height of the feud after Ben's video, she posted a line saying you can only choose God or money. Ben's response was nothing wrong, if she thinks working for DW gets in the way of her serving God, she should quit. But no, she runs around saying she was simply quoting the Bible and being attacked. Really? Candace, the mama bear, the drama queen, was simply quoting it without any implications for the other side at all? I saw it as a lie, and using Bible to your own agenda is much more sinister, and I'm not even religious like somebody who is always using buzzword "Chris is King" to their agenda like her. Was a follower before that but it was too obvious from her moves and lies. She was trying to find a way out, did everything she could to stir the pot, and appeal to the large population of ever growing Muslims, who always consider her "Chris is King" is their enemy.
