Daily Wire hosts and co-founder Jeremy Boreing will cover President Joe Biden’s “State of the Union” address during an episode of “Backstage” that will stream live on Thursday evening.
Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Andrew Klavan, and Boreing will discuss Biden’s speech and top political and cultural stories during the livestream, which will begin at 8:30 p.m. ET. Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who would normally be a part of the “Backstage” crew, will attend Biden’s address in person as a guest of Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN).
“It’s a great honor to attend the State of the Union — and all the more so as the guest of Congressman Ogles, who has proven himself to be among the most principled and courageous conservatives, not only in Congress or the State of Tennessee, but in the country,” Knowles said. “I look forward to the President’s address as we all look forward to the course correction that will follow come November.”
Biden’s address, which is scheduled to begin at 9:00 p.m. ET, will be the president’s most important event of the year so far as he battles with former President Donald Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, on the 2024 election campaign trail. During his speech, Biden is expected to tout his economic record, defend his party’s fight to promote pro-abortion policies across the country, and contrast himself with Trump.
One of the biggest points of interest for Americans who will tune into the “State of the Union” is how Biden will address the ongoing crisis at the southern border, the issue at the top of voters’ minds heading into the election. The president’s handling of the border crisis has been slammed by many on both the Right and the Left, who are calling on the Biden administration to do more to stop the record flow of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S.
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro recently visited one of the most heavily trafficked portions of the southern border, where he investigated the full story of Biden’s border crisis. During Shapiro’s border visit, which is streaming as a docu-series on DailyWire+, the Daily Wire editor emeritus looks into how the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. has tripled in just over two years under Biden compared to the entire four years of the Trump administration.
“When Joe Biden says he wants more funding for the border, what he really means is he wants more funding to process the illegal entry of illegal immigrants,” Shapiro said. “He wants that spigot opened up even wider. According to Joe Biden, the only solutions at our southern border, aren’t solutions at all. They are things that make the problem worse.”
