Notes

Public split with The Daily Wire in 2024 over editorial pressure regarding Israel coverage; continued podcasting independently afterward — the persistence-under-cost test (criterion 4 / criterion 9). Has become one of the most prominent mainstream conservative voices publicly criticizing the Israeli government and questioning the structure of US support for it.
