The Leadership Crisis Nobody's Talking About | Xaviaer DuRousseau DSH #1090

53.903 - 56.925 Host

Everybody's just in a celebratory mood, just happy to be here. Absolutely.

56.945 - 59.547 Host

There's been a lot of drama this week, though. A lot of speakers backing out.

60.827 - 67.752 Host

I know. You know what? That's why I mind my business. I come here. I have my little champagne. I come on my little podcast and I go home.

68.353 - 70.915 Host

You do have a little bit of a tension with Tim Poole though, right?

72.731 - 83.497 Host

I want to say there's tension. I think he's mad at me. Why? My assumption is he's mad at me from what I've heard. So basically, do you remember Josh Sider? No. He was the guy who pretended to be trans. He used to be on The Bachelor.

83.517 - 83.777 Host

Oh, yeah, yeah.

100.265 - 117.332 Host

So he was going to do this experiment trying to expose that the right was going to be way more accepting of him being transgender than the left and to make the left look like hypocrites. And I just left that on read because I cannot express enough how much I did not want to be a part of that mess. So months and months go on and I'm seeing this guy like

117.952 - 134.879 Host

pretending to be a woman, doing these insane videos. And it got to the point where it's like, no shade. I know Josh, admittingly, has a lot of issues with his mental health. I'm like, I think he is so committed to this bit, he might be starting to believe a little bit of it. So I started getting concerned. Well, anyway, I went on Megyn Kelly's show for the first time, which is a huge deal.

135.239 - 158.754 Host

And I did not expect Megyn to ask me about Josh. So I told her, and that was the first time I ever spilled the tea, that this is all a facade. This is all just a ruse to try to do some social experiment. And right after that, about a week or two after that, Tim Pool over at TimCast drops this huge, like this little documentary telling Josh's whole story and how they flipped the mission.

176.825 - 181.068 Host

And if that's completely wrong, Tim, blame the people who spread the rumors. I still love you. Yeah.

181.368 - 188.173 Host

Well, he's getting a lot of heat now for joining Daily Wire. So I'm sure he's more worried about that. Oh, is that official? I don't know if it's official, but rumors, I guess.

188.473 - 197.22 Host

Yeah. See, that's the thing. There's always so many rumors. It's unfortunate. It's like if you don't come and clarify, then you never really know. But at the same time, you can't entertain every single rumor. Yeah. But it's interesting.

197.3 - 197.38 Host

Yeah.

197.4 - 208.109 Host

There's a whole lot of drama going on. It's kind of frustrating that so much drama is going on right now within the right-wing space right after we just had this huge win. Everybody's already fighting each other. So much.

208.53 - 210.111 Host

I thought that was a left thing to do. Yeah.

210.431 - 223.675 Host

You know what? I should have known better. Everybody is just full of drama. Politics and Hollywood are literally the same energy. It's like people just don't even realize how messy it is behind the scenes. There's so much, just so much politics behind the scenes of politics.

223.695 - 227.716 Host

It's a mess. Predictions for Brett Cooper. Do you think she'll do better on her own?

227.836 - 246.47 Host

Yeah. she'll definitely make a lot more money. I mean, when you go independent, you're able to monetize in so many more ways. And there is such a massive wave of support for her now that she's going independent that I think she's just going to keep riding that momentum, finding her own voice, and not saying that Daily Wire at all was forcing her to say anything or telling her not to say anything.

246.69 - 266.721 Host

But there is a different level of comfortability when you are on your 100% own platform and not having to align your values with a company's values, if you get what I'm Yeah, you saw it with Candace Owens. Exactly. Candace Owens is probably making more money than ever before. Her podcast is doing great numbers. I think Brett's going to see a lot of that success.

297.335 - 309.803 Host

Yeah. A lot of people think she snakes her and stuff. Shout out to today's sponsor, Prolon. If starting the year with a fast feels a little daunting, you're not alone. There's an entire community of individuals wanting to make a meaningful decision in their health, just like you.

310.123 - 327.538 Host

This is what makes group fasting so powerful and why I'm joining in on Prolon's January Longevity Challenge, which is a coach-led program to set you up for fasting success. Prolon's fasting mimicking diet is a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting. I got all five boxes here and I'm starting day one tomorrow.

327.658 - 343.049 Host

It's researched and developed for decades at USC's Longevity Institute and backed by leading US medical centers. It helps promote healthy blood sugar, enhanced skin appearance, fat loss, and improved energy and focus. It all starts with their five-day program, which contains snacks, soups, and beverages designed to keep the body in a fasting state.
