Daily Wire hosts will meet for “Backstage” on Tuesday evening and will keep the show off of YouTube after the Big Tech platform banned Candace Owens earlier this month.
During “Backstage,” hosts Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and Owens will discuss “America’s Identity Crisis.” The show will touch on subjects such as California’s passage of a bill allowing judges to consider whether a parent “affirms” a child’s gender identity during custody battles, New Mexico’s governor restricting the constitutional right to carry guns, and a man arrested in Florida for trying to cross the Atlantic Ocean — in a giant, man-made hamster wheel.
The hosts will also discuss the success of the new DailyWire+ true crime series “Convicting a Murderer,” starring Owens. The series, which premiered last week, already has a 92% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, even as mainstream critics and media outlets refuse to review the series.
“DailyWire+ had one of our biggest releases in history this past weekend. Our first-ever true-crime docuseries ‘Convicting a Murderer,’ starring the lovely Candace Owens debuted and is receiving rave reviews,” Knowles said in a video before the “Backstage” stream. “It already has over eight million views. It is the second-most popular TV documentary on Rotten Tomatoes. We have the privilege of having Candace on ‘Backstage’ tonight to talk about the huge success and all the latest news.”
“We’ve run into a little bit of an issue,” Knowles continued. “YouTube, you see, hates us. And YouTube with its vague, some are even calling it tyrannical guidelines and their proclivity to censor conservative voices, has once again banned my friend, Candace, prohibiting her from posting or appearing on any of The Daily Wire’s YouTube channels.”
YouTube’s censorship of Owens isn’t the first time the Big Tech giant has targeted Daily Wire hosts for sharing their opinions. Owens, Knowles, Walsh, Brett Cooper, and DailyWire+ host Dr. Jordan B. Peterson have all faced censorship numerous times for daring to oppose the Big Tech Giant’s position on hot-button social issues, such as transgenderism.
