Alex Jones and other sources identify the Wilks brothers, Dan and Farris, as the billionaire backers of the Daily Wire. Based in Cisco, Texas, the brothers made their fortune in fracking and are known for their extreme privacy and religious conservatism. They are described as the "secret Koch brothers" who use their wealth to influence the Republican party and promote a specific theological agenda through media outlets.
Farris Wilks is identified as the pastor of the Assembly of Yahweh, a Messianic Jewish church in Cisco, Texas. The segment explores the controversy surrounding Messianic Judaism, which traditional Jewish denominations often view as a deceptive form of Evangelical Christianity. The hosts find it ironic that Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, is financially partnered with a family whose religious sect is often accused of "supersessionism" and proselytizing Jews.
