It's a busy day on this Monday following the collapse of SVB. The Feds have stepped in to assure us that all deposits - no matter the amount - that were in Silicon Valley Bank will be covered. Depsite that there has been another bank failure, and more are likely on the way. Meanwhile, my experience interacting with the Etsy seller community (covered in my stream this past Saturday) showed just how shaky the ground is on which so many small businesses are built. In this video I break all this down and give my thoughts on the state of things.

On Friday SVB (Silicone Valley Bank) was shut down by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and put in receivership with with the FDIC. Meanwhile the Etsy selling community is in a panic as many deposits have been held up by this failure. In the video I will discuss the latest news on the bank, where I think the Etsy selling community is going wrong in their response, and what I think is coming next for America.

Steven Crowder appeared on Timcast IRL last night to make his case against what he calls "Big Con" and why he thinks companies like The Daily Wire are doing it all wrong. Prior to this appearance I was first faily neutral on this mess, but after his recorded call with Jeremy I was finding more fault with Steven. The question is, did Steven change my mind? In this stream I discuss my thoughts on it all. How I can relate to Steven. Where I think he is right. Where I think he is wrong.

Support the show! Great merch now available at https://soulewisdom.com/merch News has come out that Iowa GOP leaders have introduced a bill that would cut out such staples and fresh meat and sliced cheese from the SNAP program. While we are generally not about handouts here at The Soule of Wisdom, we don't see this measure as something that makes any sense. In this video we'll break down the news on the bill, what it says, and what we think the GOP should really focus on. We'll also quickly discuss the latest on Steven Crowder / Daily Wire mess as Steven is scheduled to appear on Timcast IRL tonight. As well, we'll have a rant about Kroger.

Yesterday I discussed the conflict between Steven Crowder and The Daily Wire, and I was thanked by many for having a balanced take. That was before Crowder published a video containing a phone call with Jeremy Boreing that he secretly taped. That video changed things, at least for me. In this video I am going to break down key points of Steven's newest video and explain where I take issue and why.

Alec Baldwin will be charged in New Mexico with involuntary manslaughter for the death of Halyna Hutchins during the filming of the movie Rust in 2021. In this video I will delve into the latest news and what it means.
As well, I will be discussing the now open rift between Steven Crowder and The Daily Wire over their offer to have him bring Mug Club to their platform.

It has recently come to light that San Francisco has a "reparations committee." This committee is proposing that every longtime black resident receive a $5 million payout along with other compensations. In this video I break down the story, give my thoughts, and explain why this is, put simply, a stupid idea. I will also be discussing the story of an Indiana man being arrested after his toddler son waved around a loaded gun on live TV.

Over the weekend Alabama basketball player Darius Miles was arrested and charged with capital murder. In this video I'm reviewing the details of this story and discussing what this alleged incident and incidents like it say about our society. In addition I will be talking about Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's comments on faith as well as discussing some changes we're making here at The Soule of Wisdom.

Kevin McCarthy Is Still Short On Votes to be Speaker of the House as Friday voting begins. Despite overnight reports that progress had been made on a deal, it's now clear that the 21 holdouts are not budging and the votes are simply not there. In this video I cover the latest and give my thoughts on the matter as the House is gaveled in for another day of crazy.

We can simply say that 2023 is anything but dull as Kevin McCarthy loses 7th speaker vote in a row. The group that is standing against McCarthy is holding strong at least for now, and it's clear through this vote that even if Kevin McCarthy gets the job in the end he'll have a group of people on him at every moment. In this video I discuss why I think this group standing firm against McCarthy is historic, funny, sad, and needed, and all these things all at once.

This morning I woke up to the headline "Trump Throws Support Behind Kevin McCarthy." 2023 has just started and it's already crazy isn't it. The idea that Trump would not fully endorse McCarthy - a swamp creature - says a lot, and none of it is good. In this video I break down Trump's announcement and what I think it says about Trump himself. #Trump #McCarthy #speaker
I've made the case in part across my last two videos, and I'll make it again. What republicans need to learn to win in 2024 is that the game has changed. In person voting isn't gonna cut it. A strong, fact-based message isn't gonna cut it. We need to learn the dem's game and play it better than them in order to win. After that we can discuss fixing the broken system. In this video I go into detail on this idea and make my case for it.

Once I saw the vote the last few days, I was predicting Kari Lake would lose to Katie Hobbs. To be clear, not the result I wanted, but a Kari Lake win was not looking likely. Last night they called the race for Hobbs. To be fair, Lake has not conceded and will likely fight this. But all that aside, there are things we need to understand from here if we are going to stop disasters like these midterms from happening again. This doesn't just apply to Arizona. It applies to the whole country. In this video I break down my thoughts on the next steps that we all need to take. For much of the voting base, their feelings don't care about facts. This is being made clear as the midterm results come in. Facts don't care about your feelings is a phrase made popular by Ben Shapiro, but the opposite of that phrase can no longer be ignored. In this video Dan discusses what the midterm results are telling us about the voter base, and he ponders if there's anything we can do to change things.

Finally... election day is here! While you may be excited for it to be over, the truth is the election means it's time for us to perform our most sacred duty to the country. But you should not enter this day uninformed! In this video Dan covers some stories from the last 24-48 hours that he feels are important for you to consider as you cast your vote today.
Yesterday Producer-Wife Beth received a flier in the mail that cast Arizona Senate Candidate Blake Masters as dangerous. The flier portrayed Masters as an anti-abortion zealot and featured several quotes of Blake saying anti-abortion things. The problem is his quotes were completely misrepresented. In this video Dan fact checks the entirety of this anti Blake Masters flier so we can all decide if he's dangerous as accused. He also talks about what this says about the state of our politics as a whole.
It appears that Russian President Putin has deployed the Belgorod Submarine, which is the newest in his fleet and the longest known sub in the world. Dubbed the "City Killer," The Belgorod is believed to carry a new weapon, known as Poseidon, which is designed to cause tsunamis that would destroy and irradiate coastlines. In this video Dan discusses the news of this sub putting to sea and reflects upon what it all likely means in light of the slew of recent events involving the Russia-Ukraine war.
It's true my friends... Jennifer Lawrence has nightmares. In a "stunning" admission, Lawrence admitted to what 100% of the world already knows. Bad dreams happen! But the fun doesn't stop at nightmares in a recent Vogue interview that can best be described as unhinged. In this video Dan breaks down the interview and discusses how perhaps we need to stop looking at the Hollywood elites for our information, thoughts, and ideas, because if Jennifer Lawrence is an example of their collective wisdom, then they have none at all.
Last night we were all treated to a Joe Biden primetime speech. In his address Biden went on the attach against so-called MAGA Republicans and the danger they supposedly represent. In truth, if you dig into the speech, Joe Biden is actually telling more of a tale of himself and the democrats. In this video Dan expounds on this idea as well as pointing out how little knowledge Biden seems to possess about our Constitution and now the United States actually works.
At 8:16am today, YouTube censored me. My video regarding Steven Crowder being removed was itself removed, and YouTube issued a warning to my channel. In this video I discuss being censored, what I did about it, and how it proves the points I've been making in recent videos about YouTube.
