A Movement Without a Shot Caller Is a Movement in Trouble

Let me start by saying this clearly:
We respect all of these people.

This is not an easy business. It’s hard being Tucker. It’s hard being Ben. It’s hard building companies, raising families, carrying platforms with millions of eyes on you. Every single one of these figures has, at some point, contributed something positive.

Candace did.
Dennis Prager — the OG of OGs — did long before most people were even paying attention.
Glenn Beck played a role.
Bill O’Reilly played a role.
All of them did.

And I genuinely hope Dennis and Sue Prager are doing well. Truly.

But that’s exactly why the question right now is unavoidable:

What the hell are you guys doing?

Momentum Was Built — Together

Let’s not rewrite history.

These people were front-runners in bringing together the social media ecosystem that helped win in 2016 — and again in 2024. Whether you like Tucker or Candace or Ben or Megyn Kelly is irrelevant. Like them or hate them, they helped build something real.

This wasn’t accidental.
It wasn’t individual.
It was collective.

Which makes what’s happening now even more frustrating.

Because when you build something together, you don’t tear it down in public like a reality show.

Where Is the Shot Caller?

Every organization — every movement — needs a shot caller.

Someone who can say:

“Enough. Call a meeting. Sit down. Talk it out.”

I’ve done this in my own company. I once had two executives who hated each other. They both respected me. I called a breakfast meeting, didn’t tell either one who else was coming. They both showed up angry. I told them straight:

“You’re not here because of me. You’re here because you need to talk.”

Nobody ever knew that meeting happened.
But the problem got resolved.

That’s leadership.

So again: who is that person right now?

Because it’s not Erica. You don’t become a shot caller just because you married one. Charlie Kirk built something extraordinary — but he’s gone. So who’s next?

If the shot caller exists and this is above your pay grade, call the meeting anyway.

If I were the shot caller, that meeting would’ve happened a week after what happened to Charlie.

Turn the Cameras Off

And let me be very clear about this:

This meeting does not need to be on camera.

Not everything is content.
Not everything is clicks.

People sometimes call me with inside information, hoping I’ll blast it on the podcast. I tell them immediately:

“You called the wrong guy.”

I don’t do talking points.
I don’t take marching orders.
I process issues in real time — that’s why people trust the show.

This isn’t about feeding narratives.
This is about protecting something bigger.

Debate Is Healthy. Public Destruction Is Not.

Let me say this too:
I don’t mind debate.

Israel vs. Gaza? Fine.
Younger audiences questioning Israel? Let’s listen to them.
Journalists disappearing? That’s a real conversation.
Restrictions on reporting? Worth discussing.

Debate is healthy.

What is not healthy is tearing each other down for attention.

That’s not leadership.
That’s not building.
That’s not how you preserve a movement.

This Isn’t About Money — It’s About the Future

I’m not doing this for clicks. I’m not doing this for money.

I’m doing this because I love America — and I’ve got four kids.

If we stay this divided, distracted, and self-destructive, don’t be shocked when one day you wake up to an AOC–Newsom ticket sitting at the top of the polls.

And when that happens, everything you built?
It gets dismantled — piece by piece — through executive power.

So ask yourself:
What future do you actually want?

Respect the People Who Came Before You

One of the reasons Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time isn’t just his talent — it’s his humility about history.

When asked if he was the GOAT, he said it was an unfair question. He respected Kareem. He respected those who came before him. He even said the NBA was bigger than any one player.

That’s leadership.

Movements don’t survive without respect for legacy.

A Movement in Transition Needs Leadership — Not Chaos

Right now, what we’re feeling is the absence of a unifying leader.

Tucker isn’t that guy.
Candace isn’t that gal.
Ben isn’t the guy.
Megyn Kelly deserves massive respect — but she isn’t it either.

So who steps up?

Maybe it’s someone who doesn’t even want the job.

But someone has to do it.

Because without a shot caller, you don’t have a movement — you have noise.

Final Word: Call the Meeting

This is my plea — especially right before Christmas:

Call the damn meeting.

You know who you are.

Sit everyone down.
Hash it out.
Solve it privately.

Rise above the business model that rewards destruction.
Choose building over tearing down.

Because if this turns into the political equivalent of the Source Awards — ego, chaos, public feuds — everyone loses.

I respect what was built.
I want it protected.

So call the shot.
