The Soule of Wisdom

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.

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.

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.

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. The Soule of Wisdom Episode 142 #Crowder #LouderWithCrowder #DailyWire

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.

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. #McCarthy #speaker #Vote

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. #McCarthy #speaker #Vote

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. #Midterms #voting #winning The Soule of Wisdom Episode 135 On The Soule of Wisdom, Dan and Producer-Wife Beth debate the news and current events of the day with an emphasis on topics that affect us all.

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. #Midterms #KariLake #NextSteps The Soule of Wisdom Episode 134 On The Soule of Wisdom, Dan and Producer-Wife Beth debate the news and current events of the day with an emphasis on topics that affect us all.

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.

Recently Oklahoma football coach Cale Gundy resigned from his assistant position with the Sooners. This resignation was sparked by Gundy reading aloud what was displayed on a player's iPad.

In this video Dan discusses the pickle that Coach Gundy got himself into and what the response from the Oklahoma Football program tells us about the state of our society.

On Sunday the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act along party lines, with Kamala Harris breaking the tie. Immediately after passing this act, the media went to work fast to rebrand it as a "health care, climate, and tax bill."

In this video Dan shows you the rebranding efforts and delves into a few examples of how the bill does nothing to reduce inflation but rather increase the power of the federal government.

Word can down on Monday that Georgia is going to allow tax deductions for fetuses.

The July 4th Highland Park shooting is setting the internet ablaze with yet another discussion of mass shootings, guns, violence, and the like.

In the wake of Roe being overturned, Dan had a social media exchange where he brought up this point. A family member claimed that they did not understand. So in this video Dan expounds on his idea that there are numerous choices that are made as you travel the road to getting an abortion, not just the choice to have the abortion itself.

In their release on the opinion today, the Supreme Court did exactly what we already knew they would do and overturned Roe v Wade. The real question is what does it mean and what's next. In this video Dan picks out a piece of the opinion that he feels the left will focus on next. He also delves into what the left is saying about this ruling, where abortion rights currently stand across the country, and what he feel every woman concerned about the impact of Roe v Wade being overturned should consider doing.

In a shocking yet not shocking admission, USA Today removes 23 articles for its website after an investigation shows that one of its reporters, Gabriela Miranda, used fabricated sources in her work.

We all woke up this morning to news on an Elon Musk Twitter Takeover bid. The takeover bid is of course being met with both praise and consternation all over the media.

In this video I explore this idea, how I think our political lines are drawn, and how we move forward.

After two weeks of pouring through the media, it's clear to me that words are being used against us.

They say words are weapons, but in this video I explore how that weapon is being wielded to battle us all.
