@RealCandaceO 💯 I cancelled my years long DW subscription because Shapiro’s constant Israel First obsession became impossible to overlook

Very good read — I would only add that the Daily Wire also suffered in the end from a Ben Shapiro problem. Any plan to save the company would have had to include him stepping away as the public face of it. That’s just the reality. His brand has become toxic to growth.
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta

The Daily Wire is the case study of why personality-driven media companies can't compound. Peak in late 2023: Shapiro's YouTube alone pulled 170M monthly views. Daily Wire+ subscriptions, a Nashville studio operation, Bentkey kids streaming, an e-commerce arm with razors and chocolates and cigars. The company was running a billion-dollar conservative Disney bet. Then they made the studio bet bigger. Pendragon Cycle, an Arthurian fantasy series of the kind that has bankrupted larger production houses. Bentkey trying to compete with Disney for kids' attention. Daily Wire+ chasing Netflix. Running a newsroom, a film studio, a children's streaming platform, and a private-label consumer goods business simultaneously requires either limitless capital or extraordinary discipline. Some of it worked. Matt Walsh's "Am I Racist?" was the top-grossing documentary of 2024. Most of it didn't. In March 2024, they parted ways with Candace Owens. She walked into the open market and built a show that competes with theirs. Today she has 5.5M YouTube subscribers and added 10.9M followers across platforms since January 2025, generating roughly 805M views in that window. Daily Wire converted its biggest distribution asset into its largest competitor. Early 2025, co-founder Jeremy Boreing stepped down as co-CEO and launched a solo podcast outside the company he co-founded. Bentkey was shuttered the same year. Entire team cut. Then the audience math hit Shapiro himself. 170M monthly YouTube views in late 2023 to roughly 22M in early 2026. An 85% collapse in 18 months. Another 60K subscribers gone in the last 90 days alone. Layoffhedge.com estimates cumulative workforce reduction above 60% over the past year. Tucker Carlson left Fox in 2023, kept his audience, runs his shop with a fraction of the headcount. Megyn Kelly's network drew 138M YouTube views in February alone. The personalities figured out they don't need the platform. The platform discovered the opposite. Daily Wire built a billion-dollar valuation on names that can walk, take the audience with them, and run a competing show from a laptop the next morning. 170M views to 22M. The company kept the overhead. The audience left with the people.

@dissidentwest Remember when Shapiro hijacked TPUSA’s last AmFest to spew his sanctimonious BS. And then all the Neocon and Israel Firsters spent a week tripping over themselves to claim he “saved conservatism” and was the future of the movement LOL

The fall of The Daily Wire needs to be studied. They were the biggest conservative media company outside of the mainstream by a long shot and now they’re laying off half of their work force after just a few years.

Clay is 100% correct. Kentaji Brown Jackson is an illegitimate Supreme Court justice who was hired on the basis of race, which is illegal in the United States. She should be replaced. If I had a job opening for a new assistant and I said out the gate: "I’ve made no decision except one: The person I hire will be a Black woman" — I’d be sued the minute I hired her and I’d be on the hook for major legal damages. But this is EXACTLY what Joe Biden did. Here’s his own words on how he’d pick his Supreme Court nominee from BEFORE she was chosen (and keep in mind he said this during the campaign, after his election AND during the selection process): “We talked about the Supreme Court. I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a black woman on the Supreme Court." "I’ve made no decision except one… That person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court. It’s long overdue, in my opinion." “I’m keeping the commitment I made during my campaign for president—I will nominate the first Black woman to the United States Supreme Court.” That’s hiring on the basis of race. It’s illegal for any of us to do and the highest court in our land should be held to the same standard.
Clay Travis@ClayTravis

There is a legitimate argument that Ketanji Brown Jackson’s appointment to the Supreme Court — which President Joe Biden specifically said was directly intended to put a black woman on the Supreme Court — was unconstitutional under federal law.

NBC leaves so much out of this story They leave the Congo,(because of the war), travel to Brazil and then use coyotes,(reportedly), to enter illegally in Arizona and then get moved to Maine... There they got welfare and got an Asylum Hearing AND an Appeal in early 2025 When they lost both, they didn't say ok, time to go, ICE had to get involved to remove them So they traveled half way across the world through TONS of safe countries to make it to Portland Maine for the Welfare... And now its being framed as some sob story

Billionaires in the USA have spent the last 60 years lobbying our government to import 100M migrants to lower their cost of labor, and now the descendants of those migrants are going to vote to take all their stuff. It’s poetry.

ICE arrests fell 12% in the five weeks after Homan announced that the Trump administration was pulling out of Minnesota, dropping from an average of 8,347 arrests per week in the preceding five weeks to 7,369 per week in the five weeks that followed. Nationally, 46% of those arrested by ICE in the five weeks before February 4 had no criminal charges or convictions. That share fell to 41% in the five weeks afterward. New data including April shows that the share of detained illegal immigrants without a criminal record has fallen even further, down 21% from its peak in January. Follow: @AFpost

@DLompoc @Cernovich @JoshuaLisec No. I think a 90lb / 5 ft tall female has no business being a Secret Service agent - regardless of whether they have a gun Your reading comprehension needs work

@DLompoc @Cernovich @JoshuaLisec You think the simple act of being in possession of a pistol is the “great equalizer” and qualifies anyone for top level professional security? LOL That’s great logic - if the threats are exclusively from untrained, unarmed rubes in non-physical encounters

Without open borders, there would be no Democratic Party. The Americans harmed and killed by illegal aliens, the workers displaced by cheap foreign labor, and the decay in America's culture is nothing to the Democrat machine but collateral damage in their thirst for power.
