It's nasty to attack my company and DW+ hosts as "Big Con" by lying about the meaning of a non-binding term sheet. It’s despicable to plan weeks in advance to attack my best friend (and your friend!) by setting up and secretly taping a phone call, all to grow your email list.

Here is the timeline.

Prior to October 5: Steven's agent requests we send an offer.
October 5: We submit a non-binding term sheet.
November 2: Steven tells Jeremy he wants $30M per year and us to send him a new offer, refusing to red-line the term sheet.

~November 14: We told Steven we couldn't do that.
December 12: Steven apparently registers StopBigCon.com, knowing he’s leaving the Blaze, and that we haven’t provided him an offer to his liking. Steven needed a plan. Attacking us was the plan.

December 15: Steven announces he’s leaving The Blaze.
January 7: Steven texts Jeremy in friendly fashion to ask if they can talk.
January 9: Steven calls Jeremy and secretly tapes him.

This means 96 days elapsed between when he received the term sheet and when he secretly taped Jeremy. And it means that 36 days elapsed between when he decided to attack Daily Wire and Jeremy by purchasing StopBigCon and when he called Jeremy to tape him.

Gross.

Once more, if you actually care about the supposedly horrific non-binding first offer term sheet offering $50M/4 years, Jeremy reads it line-by-line here.

It is quite simple. If your show loses money, you lose money. This is how capitalism works.

You know who knows this? Steven Crowder. That's why he has a "Piss Off YouTube" segment in which he deliberately does not say things that will get him kicked off YouTube, and directs people behind his paywall. He must be a shill for YouTube or something.
