Conservative Commentator Exposes Daily Wire's Plot to Overpay Him | Steven Crowder Case Analysis 

I keep telling myself I won't follow this drama anymore, but then I have to hear what Todd Grande would say.

It's always about the money. When they say it's not about the money. It's about the money.

Dr. Grande, thank you for not diagnosing and only speculating about what could be happening in a video like this!

"He did not want to... follow the crowd." "He fell in with the... wrong crowd." I laughed way harder than I should have at this.

I can always count on this guy for a cooly rational, even-handed analysis of issues and public figures. Thank you, Dr. Grande.

My appreciation. I said I wouldn't watch another Crowder related video. I couldn't believe people were actually falling for the "helping the little guy" line, but I saw you had put this up and I HAD to know what you were going to share. Again, thank you.

11:22 -persuasion vs. reinforcement in political discourse is such a critical lens to look through. Very well spoken, doctor. All the best to you👍❤

They offered him 50 mill but then he asked for 120 mil but he says it’s not about money😂😂😂

Dr Grande.....the calm, steadying voice of reason.. We thank you for your genuine approach. Seriously.

The ending is so important. It's nice to feel validated, but if you win every argument, you're not challenging yourself enough. The stronger my conviction, the more I should want to scrutinize it. Commentators must recognize nuance, employ logic and *well-supported evidence*, and be able to demonstrate this level of self-awareness.

Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating on what part Canada had in the making of a Crowder-like personality like this.

When someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE THEM.

“Plot to overpay him?!!?” Bwahahahaaaa! Whatever side you take, Dr. Grande is STONE COLD!!! 🤣☠️🤣☠️

Thank you, Dr. Grande for all the puns in this video.

Your closing commentary was brilliant. America needs that message right now. Bravo Dr. Grande.

"It's like he doesn't have empathy" (Dr. Grande). You nailed him right there.

A very balanced and nuanced take on the situation, as always.

Dr. Grande, I just saw your interview on Law and Crime Network regarding the Todt family. So nice to see you in a different light. Congratulations! Steven Crowder is from my part of the world, he must want to be more popular and valued than he is! I'm happy that Daily Wire refused his crazy demands!

Your analysis of this situation is your best work to date.

Yes! Finally! I was waiting for you to drop this video. I found you during the Idaho college murders and I haven’t missed one yet. Love the even keeled tone of your takes.

I could not imagine recording someone who had been a friend for over a decade and trying to embarrass them with it. Betrayal by a friend is never a good look. Instead Crowder embarrassed himself.

Dr. Grande could be analyzing a bridge collapse and remind us that he's not diagnosing anybody in this video, only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this.

Excellent analysis, I truly enjoyed your commentary on this. Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤

Your comments are not only informative, Dr. Grande, they are highly educational. Thank you for your RU-vid channel, I listen to it on a daily basis since, in my experience, it happens to be more informative and educational than any of those large news agencies/outlets.

Love how you deconstructed and criticized Steven, yet never insulted him. I struggle finding honest critiques of political youtubers that aren't just mudslinging. If more people thought like you we might actually get shit done in this country. Yet with this bipartisan system, we will only ever operate at half capacity (if that).

Perhaps the best analysis I have ever heard on political ideologies. Thank you Dr. Grande for a very important lesson during these extremely difficult times.

I have to say: Dr Grande is definitely a crowd pleaser!

This was a lot more substantial than I thought it could be, great job doc!

Thank you Dr. Grande being from Australia I have read many posts about your subject and I really wanted to understand thank you again that was brilliant!🇦🇺

Man this whole conflict is utterly pointless, tbh.

Accurate, enlightening. Just an excellent analysis 🔥 Thank you Dr. Grande.

You've described a major problem with YTers; instead of focusing on valid content and quality of ideas, they pick one extreme and go with it. The motive isn't always money, but often is, and it ruins channels that might otherwise have been worth something other than the revenue. For example, in the realm of "prepping", many channels devolve into a general theme that the end of all things is just around the corner, and by watching their videos, you'll be okay. The problem is that "what is about to happen" has been about to happen for a decade or two, and the "what" keeps moving based on reality. Furthermore, if the things they talk about really do happen, those few ounces of gold you bought or that water purification system and .10 acre garden will have very little to do with whether you survive. Want ideas for the stock market? You'll find 10 people promoting the next 100X "to the moon" stocks and 10 people predicting a market crash of 80% that is "coming soon". I prefer channels that present their information as is, rationally, and without too much bias......it is up to the watcher to consume and learn, or not, and there is no shilling, click-bait, or extremism. To each his own, but I'm with Dr. Grande on avoiding putting yourself into an echo-chamber or simply seeking confirmation bias on topics you already have set beliefs in. In my opinion, everyone should have a little Mulder and Scully in them, mixed with humility and skepticism.

“Fell in with the wrong crowd” lol

We're 2 months away from dr grande doing response videos to libs of tiktok. Change my mind.

Thank you for all your very qualified views and really good wit.I love the remarks.

Todd, I appreciate such a well balanced video. I had never heard of the two categories of political commentary (persuasion vs. reinforcement) and am looking forward to analyzing/evaluating the commentators I listen to through that lens. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Excellent work, Dr. Grande

Dr. Grande, yes SC did mention 'walking away from 50 million dollars.' It's in his first video on this topic.

I appreciate your analysis of this whole situation, and I agree. Crowder is someone I followed for years, but lately I couldn’t sit through any of his videos. He might make a good point, but I’d have to sit through 20 minutes of him and his buddies chatting about nonsense and making fun of people to get to it. Most of the time it wasn’t worth it. Just like you said, if it was about big tech, he never would have even considered an offer from DW, but he did. He didn’t get as much money as he asked for, so he turned it down, and his big complaints were about what? Money. I think he did all this to try to look like a hero to get viewers to follow him to his new platform, but he didn’t think about how bad it would make him look.

Wasn’t the money total operating costs? Meaning 12 million a year but that pays 30+ employees, building, utilities, servers, etc.?

DW’s dastardly plot to overpay Crowder 😂 Doc your video titles alone are works of art. 👍

Hey doctor Todd Can you do the Pfizer/project Veritas breakdown? Crazy times!

Dear Dr G, an interesting checked shirt for a very checkered individual. We all rely on your analysis to keep our intellect fed whilst our funny bone is simultaneously stimulated. Thanks and well done.

Always a pleasure hearing your thoughts on these topics 👍🏼

If I understand the proposal correctly, Crowder would have had to make payroll for his employees partially out of his pocket whenever RU-vid demonitized a video. Crowder should have just rejected the offer quietly and moved on.

I was hoping you would do this one. It was excellent. 👍

My initial reaction to this situation was "Crowder's acting like a little b!tch" and nothing has occurred to change my mind.

This is on point Dr Todd. I couldn’t figure it out, until now. Thank you for the clarification.

I'm thrilled that you took the time to analyze this awful situation. The Daily Wire has every right to call him out on being grossly unreasonable. He wants his show to get paid even when they aren't making the Daily Wire money..... thats poor business and he should know that. Crowder knows how reckless he can be. He should have never signed a contract b/c he knew he would live up to the expectations. This is why it's best to leave family and friends out of business practices.

Thank you Dr Grande. This was 👌🏻 ‘Dr Grande for President 🇺🇸’

What I love the most about Dr. Grande is how he does all this with a straight face... slightly on the strained side XD Keep up the awesome videos Dr. Grande!

Happy weekend, everyone!

You bring up a good point that most of these commentators focus on reinforcing beliefs. Their proliferation is a byproduct of political beliefs becoming the core tribal identity in the US. Defending the correct party line is important---not doing so can cost one's livelihood. But I think that there is a more important reason; most people probably don't really believe what their in-group says that they should believe.

Doctor, your channel is getting better and better, and I love the way you're keeping abreast on new topics and ones people are really interested in. I'm personally a HUGE Crowder fan, but after hearing Mark Dice and all he has to say about him and Ben Shapiro and even Sean Hannity, I don't know what to think.

Well analyzed! Thanks, Doctor.

“Talented but not necessary “ Excellent job Dr G!

I’ve been waiting to hear you talk about Crowder literally for years! Even suggested it in the comments a few times!!!

Crowder is the Prince Harry of the conservative movement.

Excellent analysis! Thanks Dr. Grande.

Hey Dr. GRANDE! Thanks for the new video 😂😂😍😍😍

Wasn't expecting to see you cover this! Very interesting as I watch both Crowder and Ben and wasn't really on either side. Pleasantly surprised seeing this in my inbox Dr. Grande and excited to hear your insight!😁👍

Dr Grande, you're hilarious 😂 I love your takes - informative, brilliant & so witty. Thank you!

This was a brilliant analysis, Dr. Grande.

We don’t deserve Dr grande The voice of reason we all need

I love this channel because you don't shy away from politically hot topics, but I never detect a bias one way or another. You just lay out the facts and provide your thoughts without attempting to jam an agenda down your viewer's throats.

It’s giving shade and tea and I’m here for it Dr. Grande, be messy.

Love the stuff you talk about and the way you get to the bones during your analysis. This show / subject (Bearing in mind I AGREE) I do wonder but hope not, is it possible members of the Daily Wire team have requested your input and even included a few tips, hints or points. That! Dr, Todd Grande is my analysis of this video.

I love how your wording and psychologist manner. I actually learned a lot because I do not follow this stuff, yet heard comments all over the place. Thank you

The puns and dry humor of Dr Grande in this upload makes me laugh even more than his prior #1 - IMHO - the “Dhar Mann” analysis:) Thank you!

This is a great take. Thank you for a nuanced view

Dr. Grande you can roast people in the coolest, most smoothest way and I applaud you for it

Hi Dr Grande. Could you do a video about the strange breakdown of the Pfizer guy caught out by veritas? He may have been on drugs but there was some bizarre stuff going on there and would love to hear your analysis.

Big fan of Crowder. He effed up big time.

Good show Dr. Chiquito! It's short and sweet.

I need to rewatch it in order to count how many times you use the word "crowd". You are very witty, smart and subtle with you humour, Dr. Grande)

For the interesting dialogue and algorythem ✊️

The worst part is that the audio that he released was completely unnecessary, it didn't add any new information. It's just Jeremy saying that to any new guy they would offer essentially the same contract, which was pretty obvious. Crowder just made himself look bad for no reason

I love the title! Like good titles do, it sums up the whole saga perfectly.

I was over watching videos about DW and Crowder...until I saw this pop up in my notifications. Thanks for this analysis.

We live in an extreme world and greed is the lubricant oiling the engine. Thanks Dr. Good analysis to go with my morning coffee.

Love your content a lot Dr. Grande!

Well said! Best analysis of this topic hands down.

"Noiser with crowder" i instantly subscribed to this channel, nice to meet you Dr.Grande Saludos desde Uruguay

He should try crowd funding😏

Excellent analysis as always, Dr. G! I always appreciate your unbiased summaries!

Great review 👍🏼. Ty

Omg Dr Grande has done it again.. the crossover I didn't know I need

It may also be relevant to note that outlets like Daily Wire, Blaze, Turning Point, Prager U, etc. function more like PACs than traditional businesses, which is why they're able to throw around money like this. This isn't typical outside that sphere of political commentary.

Great insights about political commentary and Crowder more specifically. Another great video Dr Grande 👍

That was a very good one! Science is what we need! Set a hypothesis but welcome facts that disprove it! Your common sense and logic always shine! 🎆✨🎇

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for another amazing analysis!!. I have been binge watching a lot of your content! and truly love watching your analysis of different aspects of mental health!. I love your wit and humor! It really helps to get through some of the more dark things that people say and do!. I truly appreciate your time effort and energy!. And again I truly wish there was a mental health provider in my area like you!! I hope you and your family are doing amazing. Ps. I am totally going to go get your books!!…I didn’t realize you even had! books. How did I not know this!!?? Damn…..😅 Have a great day/night..

You're accurate, Although I am a woman and I'm speaking for myself, I like Steven for the comedy, Ben for the logic and Jordan for the depth.

Dr Grande, here's recognition for your consistency.

Well done. Thank you!

Perfect comedic pun timing Dr. Grande! Your break down of this situation is measured, balanced, and logical. I'm grateful for minds like yours, and the fact you are sharing it with all of us. Much gratitude to you.

Tucker complaining about the elites is like Elon musk complaining about billionaires! He's an elite himself.

Good summary at the end!

Simply the best, informative and thoughtful analysis. Thank you, Dr. Grande!

Doesn’t seem like a balanced analysis
