A Decade Down, Forever To Go: Introducing DailyWire+ Lifetime Membership

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 10 years, The Daily Wire has put up some incredible wins, and over the next few weeks, we’re looking back at 10 of our greatest victories — none of which could have happened without the support of our loyal members and fans. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of our biggest victories occurred over the summer as the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling upholding a Tennessee law protecting children from surgical and chemical gender mutilation. The ruling allowed states across the country to keep in place laws protecting children from life-altering transgender procedures. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Tennessee law at the center of ruling was inspired by an investigation from Daily Wire host Matt Walsh. In September 2022, Walsh released an investigation revealing that the pediatric transgender clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center was removing the breasts of girls who identified as boys and prescribing cross-sex hormones to gender-confused children.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“My team and I have been investigating the transgender clinic at Vanderbilt here in Nashville. Vanderbilt drugs, chemically castrates, and performs double mastectomies on minors,” Walsh </span><a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1572313369528635392"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> at the time. “They now castrate, sterilize, and mutilate minors as well as adults, while apparently taking steps to hide this activity from the public view. This is what ‘health care’ has become in modern America.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the days following the investigation, Walsh met with top Tennessee lawmakers who vowed to introduce legislation to ban transgender procedures on kids and Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tennessee-looking-at-child-gender-transition-legislation-after-vanderbilt-transgender-videos-released"><span style="font-weight: 400;">called</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for an immediate end to the procedures. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A month after the investigation broke, Walsh led a rally in Nashville attended by top Tennessee Republicans like Senator Marsha Blackburn and others like Tulsi Gabbard calling for an end to child mutilation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walsh later testified before state lawmakers in favor of the Republican-backed bill to ban transgender procedures on kids in Tennessee. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We should be able to agree that it is never OK to chemically castrate, sterilize, butcher, or mutilate a child. And in fact, all decent people do agree on this point,” Walsh said during his testimony. “But many of the people who hold power in this country and who run our institutions — including our medical institutions — do not pass this basic test of decency.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After Tennessee’s law was passed in March 2023, over a dozen other states moved to enact similar legislation to protect kids. Tennessee’s law was challenged by leftist activists and the Biden administration, bouncing through the federal court system before the Supreme Court agreed to take it up. Walsh also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1498-on-demand">spoke</a> at a rally in front of the Supreme Court in December 2024, continuing to push for an end to transgender procedures on children. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In June 2025, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">United States v. Skrmetti</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that states were allowed to protect kids from transgender procedures under the Constitution. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walsh said that the decision was a “fatal blow” to transgender ideology. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Three years ago, we launched our investigation into Vanderbilt’s child mutilation practices,” he </span><a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1935345883769430153"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “We rallied in the state capital. Our lawmakers responded with a law banning child mutilation in the state. Today the Supreme Court upheld our law, which means child mutilation can be banned anywhere and everywhere in the country. And should be. This is a truly historic victory and I’m grateful to be a part of it, along with so many others who have fought relentlessly for years.”</span></p>

Decade Of Daily Wire: How We Fought Back Against Child Mutilation And Won

<p>Isabel Brown, Gen Z firebrand and popular content creator, is bringing her unique blend of humor and cultural commentary to The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>This fall, <a href="https://www.theconservateur.com/features/isabel-brown-launches-new-show-with-the-daily-wire">Brown began hosting an original series</a> on DailyWire+. Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Brown joins a growing Daily Wire team in our nation’s capital. A new mom and Colorado native, Brown rose to fame posting her unfiltered thoughts on Instagram, where she now has over a million followers.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">I am SO excited to finally announce that my podcast, The Isabel Brown Show, has a new home with <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realDailyWire</a>!!</p>
<p>I have never been more passionate about fighting as hard as we can on offense to save the West. It’s time for us to not just *react* to the insanity of the upside… <a href="https://t.co/mUKxMHe8FJ">pic.twitter.com/mUKxMHe8FJ</a></p>
<p>— Isabel Brown (@theisabelb) <a href="https://twitter.com/theisabelb/status/1942222116817862859?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>On her show, Brown tackles the same subjects she addresses on her social media pages — everything from pop culture to the pro-life movement — and bring viewers with her as she takes D.C. by storm with her family.</p>
<p>“Earlier this year, I transitioned into the most important role of my entire life: mom,” Brown said. “Seeing the world through my daughter&#8217;s eyes and a fresh perspective has only given me more passion for our generation to fight on offense as hard as we can for what is good and true and beautiful.”</p>

<p>“Isabel Brown is sure to win over the hearts and minds of the Daily Wire audience with her common-sense takes, elegant humor, and intellectual prowess,” says Mike Richards, Chief Content Officer and President of Daily Wire Entertainment. “She brings brainpower, pop culture fluency, and the kind of fearless fun that causes liberal tears to flow like NPR tote bags at a Bernie rally.”</p>
<p>Daily Wire viewers will have plenty of time to get to know Isabel as they join her devoted community of “truth seekers” this fall.</p>
<p>Here’s everything you need to know about The Daily Wire’s newest host.</p>
<h3><b>She’s Fearless</b></h3>
<p>Whether it’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEpsnWPO5Br/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free speech </a>in the digital era, women’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDaLn3yyqta/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biological identity</a>, or humanity’s most basic <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCR_Iv8yDZu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">right to life</a>, Isabel proudly stands up for her views — even when they’re unpopular. She was among the first to stand up for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDXhxcxS6YO/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok’s</a> importance as a free speech platform, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFOdldUug_4/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defends life </a>from the moment of conception, and even appeared <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9Z5DDKuUEn/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the cover</a> of <i>Newsweek</i> to champion conservative principles for Gen Z.</p>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-943343" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel_Final-4-384x576.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel_Final-4-384x576.jpg 384w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel_Final-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel_Final-4-768x1151.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel_Final-4-1025x1536.jpg 1025w" sizes=" (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></div>
<h3><b>She’s All About Faith and Family</b></h3>
<p>Isabel grew up in a chaotic, loud, and very pink home, the oldest of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_qJa2fuBKC/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three girls</a> who loved to steal each other’s clothes and fight over who got to play with which American Girl doll. As a wife and new mom, Isabel is cherishing every second of her home life with her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-VeLjEuI6J/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">husband</a>, Brock, their beautiful baby girl, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKLDIgYNh8M/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isla</a>, and, of course, her trusty sidekick, Liberty the Corgi. Guiding Brock as he converted to Catholicism inspired Isabel to take an even deeper interest in her faith, and she’s currently pursuing her master’s degree in theology at the University of Notre Dame. Go Irish!</p>

<h3><b>She’s Always On The Move</b></h3>
<p>Despite all the time she spends online, Isabel’s favorite thing to do is spend time in the great outdoors. Isabel scaled her first 14,000+ foot peak in her home <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CTcjRRaAYQy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mountains of Colorado </a>at 10 years old. She’s on a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CfejxLUJdXl/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quest</a> to visit all 63<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CxRmJ3EtHeY/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> National Parks</a> and has traveled to 24 countries, scaling peaks in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0o__FFSnGA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Zealand</a>, road-tripping the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-7tJxgu5-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scottish Highlands</a>, and retracing the steps of Jesus in the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CiatG7FvjL8/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holy Land</a>.</p>
<p>She’s also a trained ram handler, thanks to her time caring for Colorado State University’s live mascot, CAM the Ram. Every weekend, she’d run with CAM on the football field in her boots to celebrate every touchdown, and spent many hours shearing sheep.</p>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-943345" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel-5049-384x576.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel-5049-384x576.jpg 384w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel-5049-200x300.jpg 200w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel-5049-768x1151.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Isabel-5049-1024x1536.jpg 1024w" sizes=" (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></div>
<h3><b>She’s…Kind Of A Nerd</b></h3>
<p>A self-described “certified theater kid,” Isabel has starred in “Hairspray” and “Les Misérables” and has seen nearly every Broadway production on stage. While she’s less likely to get dressed up for the theatre with a new baby at home, she loves singing &#8220;Wicked” and “The Sound of Music” at home with Isla.</p>
<p>She also loves sci-fi and fantasy, both books and movies — especially “Harry Potter,” “The Lord of the Rings,” and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C710k6SOXcK/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Star Wars</a>. She maintains to this day that “The Empire Strikes Back” is the greatest standalone film ever made, and actually cried driving through Glencoe, Scotland while listening to the “Harry Potter” film score. Don’t judge.</p>

Meet Isabel Brown, The Daily Wire’s Newest Host

LIVE UPDATES: Mamdani, Cuomo, And Sliwa Fight It Out In NYC Mayoral Debate

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As The Daily Wire approaches its 10th anniversary, it&#8217;s the perfect time to celebrate some of our great achievements. No win has defined the last decade of company success quite like Matt Walsh’s hit documentary “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman?row=0&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;rowType=Square+Show+Carousel"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is a Woman?</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This cultural juggernaut proved that one provocative question has the power to shatter the mainstream narrative and literally change the nation forever.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When “What is a Woman?” premiered on June 1, 2022, the first day of Pride Month back when most companies still celebrated, it launched a revolution. The documentary film featuring a simple question broke Daily Wire streaming records and sparked a national debate. The title became a rallying cry for everyone fed up with the madness of radical left-wing gender theory. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the opening scenes, Matt Walsh set out to do exactly what our community knows best: ask a pointed question and refuse to accept a nonsensical answer. The Daily Wire podcast host confronted academics, activists, therapists, and everyday people who struggled to define the word &#8220;woman.&#8221; The result called into question all those previously taboo “truths” that radicals had been trying to mainstream for years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The release wasn’t all sunshine and roses. The Daily Wire’s site was hit by a DDoS cyberattack as critics and trolls tried to shut us down before we could even get started. But that backfired. The documentary premiere became the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-a-cyberattack-tried-to-stop-you-from-watching-matt-walshs-what-is-a-woman"><span style="font-weight: 400;">most trafficked live stream</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in Daily Wire history.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The massive success of “What is a Woman?” was no flash in the pan. One year later, the film exploded again on X when The Daily Wire made it available for free. Viewership skyrocketed once more and even Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk himself jumped in, </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/every-parent-should-watch-this-elon-musk-retweets-what-is-a-woman-to-his-140m-followers"><span style="font-weight: 400;">tweeting</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “Every parent should watch this.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leftists melted down over the impact of the film, but ultimately they were left with nothing but an empty defense of a harmful ideology built on lies and intimidation. Normal citizens who were too afraid to speak up before were suddenly emboldened, and they joined Walsh in a chorus that sounded a lot like standing up for what’s right and true.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And that’s where the real MVPs come in: you. Daily Wire members didn’t just watch “What is a Woman?” – though they did that too. They also shared it, praised it, defended it, and kept streaming it even while the site was struggling to keep up. Your support helped turn that simple question into a movement that eventually became a culture war victory.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common sense and conservative principles got a major victory through “What is a Woman?” — but the fight against the Left hasn’t stopped. As much as ever before, The Daily Wire is continuing to push back against leftism&#8217;s crazy and dangerous ideas. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now we’re celebrating ten years of podcasts, news articles, merch, and more, and it’s all thanks to our loyal members. You’re the reason we keep raising the bar. You remind us that asking the tough questions, even when our enemies attack for it, is always worth it. Because the free market of ideas is still free thanks to people like you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s to a decade down. And a future where one question, one film, and one community at a time, we keep winning. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We can’t wait to see what the next ten years bring.</span></p>

Hour 1

The Ben Shapiro Show

Ep. 2300 - The Democrats Have BIG Problems…But Will Republicans BLOW IT?

In this episode, Isabel Brown confronts the growing culture of hatred and political violence that’s poisoning America from the inside out. Across social media and in the streets, activists who claim to stand for “tolerance” and “democracy” are increasingly celebrating when their political opponents are silenced, attacked, or dehumanized.

From chants at “No Kings” rallies to online mobs labeling conservatives as “fascists” or “Nazis,” to even the all-out celebration of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the rhetoric has gone far beyond disagreement—it’s becoming open justification for hatred. When violence or tragedy is met with applause instead of prayer, America loses a piece of her soul.

Together, we explore
- How radical activists use moral language to justify political aggression.
- Why calling opponents “Nazis” or “fascists” has become the Left’s default weapon—and why that’s dangerously unserious.
- The chilling effect this has on free speech, faith, and public life.
- What young Americans can do to stand up for truth without becoming what we oppose—defending liberty, dignity, and genuine democracy through faith, courage, and conviction.

We don’t save America by matching the Left’s hatred. We save it by remembering who we are—and by refusing to let rage rule us.
Join the conversation on how we restore moral sanity, reject political violence, and rebuild a nation rooted in truth and virtue.
