Billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> joined in on heated debate over the H-1B visa immigration program this week, saying that some tech companies have to outsource skilled positions and arguing that the H-1B program makes America stronger.
His position pitted him against many conservative commentators who came out against the position, arguing that the H-1B program prioritizes foreigners over skilled Americans, brings down wages, and actually hurts innovation.
Musk said that U.S. companies, such as Apple, are being <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1872349959875690709" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forced</a> to outsource skilled positions because the &#8220;expertise they need simply does not exist in America in sufficient quantity.&#8221;
&#8220;The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B,&#8221; Musk posted to X on Saturday, before <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odd8Zdhuj9o">busting out a quote</a> from the comedy Tropic Thunder. &#8220;Take a big step back and F*** YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.&#8221;

In another post, Musk endorsed a position posited by CNN contributor Scott Jennings, who said the program needs to be overhauled to stop companies from using it for cheap labor, while instead using the program to recruit the top .01% from other nations.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re using the H-1B program to abuse it, to recruit interns, accountants who could easily be recruited in the USA, because you want to do it cheaper? That&#8217;s not fine,&#8221; Jennings said. &#8220;What a lot of people in the party want to do is eliminate the fraud in this H-1B program, retain the top engineering talent; there&#8217;s a way to do this.&#8221;

The debate all started when, in a post centered around 90s sitcom references, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy argued that companies are forced to hire skilled foreigners because, in part, the American culture &#8220;has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long.&#8221;
&#8220;A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;A culture that venerates Cory from &#8216;Boy Meets World,&#8217; or Zach &amp; Slater over Screech in &#8216;Saved by the Bell,&#8217; or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in &#8216;Family Matters,&#8217; will not produce the best engineers.&#8221; 
Ramaswamy said American culture needs to change to once again prioritize &#8220;achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.&#8221; 
&#8220;That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood &amp; just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it,&#8221; he added. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born &amp; first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy &amp; wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers &amp; if…

The post went viral, generating more than 96 million views and more than 46,000 comments. Many noted their impressive resumes and test scores while claiming they have been overlooked for work in the tech industry, rebutting Ramaswamy.
Nikki Haley, who formerly served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, replied, &#8220;There is nothing wrong with American workers or American culture. All you have to do is look at the border and see how many want what we have. We should be investing and prioritizing in Americans, not foreign workers.&#8221;

Eric Weinstein, who earned a PhD in mathematical physics from Harvard, argued strongly against the H-1B visa program. Weinstein said the program effectively displaces America&#8217;s &#8220;great&#8221; minds and talent for foreign talent. He also said the outcome, for one thing, creates &#8220;pliant&#8221; employees, which hurts America overall.

Others highlighted President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s past position on the program, which was articulated in 2016.
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
&#8220;The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/posts/donald-j-trump-position-on-visasmegyn-kelly-asked-about-highly-skilled-immigrati/10156715268505725/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time. &#8220;I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements.&#8221;
&#8220;I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions,&#8221; he added.
But Trump on Saturday said he now supports the visa program. &#8220;I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/28/us-news/donald-trump-backs-h-1b-visa-program-supported-by-elon-musk/">New York Post</a>. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.&#8221;
</div>
Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing waded into the debate, noting that the U.S. immigration system has been &#8220;weaponized to destroy our culture and national identity for decades.&#8221; He said the entire system needs to be fixed before the country can have a healthy debate over how to best design a foreign worker visa program.
&#8220;Our immigration system has been weaponized to destroy our culture and national identity for decades,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Immigration has also been fundamental to our national character and history, and high-skilled immigration (which represents only a tiny fraction of total immigration) is a great tool for maintaining technological and economic hegemony.&#8221;
&#8220;But until the system stops being weaponized against us, people will continue to become more radical on the issue,&#8221; Boreing continued. &#8220;Elon and Vivek et al are making a mistake defending h1bs at the moment, not because they are wrong on the merits, but because they are wrong on the politics. You can’t win a philosophical argument on this topic when the country is being overrun.&#8221;
&#8220;Solve the existential problem and people will be in a better mood to have nuanced discussions about what a proper immigration policy should look like,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Not the right-wing socialist Bernie Bro types or groyper racists, of course. They will never care about nuance. But everyone else. That’s what this moment requires.&#8221;

DailyWire+ documentary “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/am-i-racist">Am I Racist?</a>” has been <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/am-i-racist-snubbed-on-oscar-documentary-shortlist-1236209076/">snubbed</a> from the Oscar shortlist, despite the film’s record-breaking box office success and massive cultural influence. 
“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/am-i-racist-opens-as-third-highest-grossing-film-in-the-country">Am I Racist?</a>”, which features Daily Wire author and podcast host Matt Walsh exposing the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-dei">DEI</a> grift, outperformed any other documentary this year. Additionally, “Am I Racist?” is one of only 15 documentaries ever to open in over 1,500 theaters and earned the third-highest opening day gross for a documentary in the last decade. The shortlist is determined by Academy Documentary Branch members, who later decide the five Oscar nominees. 
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/amiracist/">WATCH ‘AM I RACIST?’ ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
“The Academy Awards announced the shortlist for documentaries,” Walsh posted to X on Tuesday. “These are their top 15 films in the genre that will be whittled down to 5 nominees. ‘Am I Racist?’ did not make the top 15 even though it is the highest grossing doc of the decade and easily the most talked about, most watched, and most influential documentary of this year.” 
“This is the outcome I expected, of course, but it doesn’t make it any less of a farce,” he added.

Co-founder of The Daily Wire and “Am I Racist?” executive producer Jeremy Boreing, on the other hand, said the snub was shocking in light of the doc’s massive success. 
“I have to say, I am genuinely surprised by this result,” he wrote. “I truly thought they would have to acknowledge AIR, if only to save face.”

Walsh also highlighted the success of  “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman">What is a Woman?</a>”  – a Daily Wire documentary about gender that preceded “Am I Racist?” – and underscored how Hollywood believes they “own” filmmaking and resent the Right for their success. 
“If a conservative can make a documentary that crushes every other film in its genre that year and beats every film in its genre in the past 6 or 7 years, and yet still not even crack the top 15, that means that conservatives are simply excluded from having their work recognized,” he wrote. “Again, this is not a surprise. But that’s what it means.” 
“One thing I’ve learned after getting into filmmaking is that the Left truly believes it owns the art of filmmaking,” Walsh asserted. “Any conservative who makes a film is an intruder, a sinister usurper showing up in a place where he doesn’t belong.”
“The truth is that the success of my films — and they are both easily the most watched and influential documentaries of the decade — actually makes it LESS likely that they’ll be recognized by critics or awards,” the conservative added. “Our success is an affront to them. They hate us for it.”
“Deadline,” a prominent entertainment outlet, also deemed the omission of “Am I Racist?” from the Oscar shortlist a “<a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/am-i-racist-snubbed-on-oscar-documentary-shortlist-1236209076/">snub</a>,” noting that the film earned “more money at the box office than any other documentary this year, by far.”

‘Am I Racist?’ Snubbed From Oscar Shortlist Despite Record-Breaking Success. Walsh Reacts: ‘A Farce’

The year 2024 has been a huge success for conservatives pushing back against diversity, equity, and inclusion and LGBTQ initiatives that woke companies have rubbed in their faces. 
After years of wokeness infiltrating what seemed to be every area of the culture, Americans stood up this year and fought the DEI cult with amazing success. Thanks to conservatives like Matt Walsh, Robby Starbuck, and Jeremy Boreing, the Left was finally put on the defensive as their woke ideology was exposed for its insanity. 
Walsh’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/am-i-racist">Am I Racist?</a>” comedy put the craziness of wokeness on full display. The film features Walsh going undercover in the world of DEI to expose the grift of the race hustlers profiting off people’s emotions through deception. 
Starbuck, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pure-lunacy-robby-starbuck-on-exposing-dei-in-corporate-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposed DEI</a> in major U.S. corporations, which resulted in companies such as Walmart, Harley-Davidson, Ford, and Tractor Supply announcing they are abandoning their DEI policies and programs and cutting ties with controversial progressive groups, including the Human Rights Campaign.
Even Pride Month, when many companies push LGBTQ messaging during June, was toned down in 2024 compared to previous years. 
Jeremy Boreing, the co-CEO of The Daily Wire and founder of Jeremy’s Razors, has also continued to stand up to the woke mob and fight for traditional values. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s92UMJNjPIA&amp;t=5s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s Razors</a> was founded as a response to leftist companies forcing their views on customers. What better way to celebrate conservative victories while sticking it to the woke Left than shopping <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/black-friday-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">30% off Jeremy’s Cyber Week sales</a>, which continue throughout the week? 
While conservatives rightly celebrate these massive victories, the fight isn’t over. Multiple major companies are still pushing woke causes. Here are a few of them: 
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-ags-warn-apple-about-entrepreneur-program-that-excludes-white-asian-men" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple</a> </h3>
Apple faced backlash from conservatives after it posted its requirements for its “Apple Entrepreneur Camp” on August 13. The posting from the company said that all “female,* Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and Indigenous” developers were welcome to apply. The asterisks around “female” pointed to a note that said Apple “believes that gender expression is a fundamental right. We welcome all women to apply to this program.”
A coalition of 14 Republican attorneys general wrote to Apple, warning the tech giant that the program might be illegal. 
Apple is the third-largest company by revenue in the U.S. 
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-11-most-biased-responses-from-googles-gemini-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google</a> </h3>
Earlier this year, Google’s Gemini AI was slammed after it failed to produce historically accurate images. Gemini also spit out leftist talking points when asked about political topics. As people played with the AI tool and asked it questions, they found that it often had biased responses on topics like the Israel-Hamas war, COVID, racism, and the definition of “woman.” 
Google also has a <a href="https://about.google/belonging/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">web page</a> focused on “gender equity,” “LGBTQ+ inclusion,” and “racial equity.”  
During the 2024 presidential campaign, House Republicans were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/google-says-bug-kept-donald-trump-out-of-auto-generated-search-suggestions-pushed-users-to-stories-about-kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concerned</a> that Google was “censoring information about former President Donald Trump.” The tech giant claimed that bugs in its system caused searches for Trump to generate articles about Vice President Kamala Harris.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fans-rip-disney-for-new-snow-white-trailer-especially-nightmare-fuel-cgi-dwarfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disney</a></h3>
Disney is doubling down on its live-action “Snow White” after actress Rachel Zegler criticized the original fairytale, calling the traditional love story “weird.” Any sign of tradition in Disney’s remake appeared to be gone as Disney’s filmmakers dropped the traditional dwarfs to supposedly fight against stereotypes of people with dwarfism. Instead, the film depicted “magical creatures,” a move that was blasted for caving to the woke mob. 
Disney scrubbed the “magical creatures” idea and went back to dwarfs, but the computer-generated imagery (CGI) portrayal of the seven dwarfs was blasted after Disney recently released another trailer. 
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-jerrys-sues-woke-unilever-over-alleged-censorship-of-its-leftist-views" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben &amp; Jerry’s </a></h3>
Last month, the ice cream giant sued its parent company, Unilever, accusing it of censoring pro-Palestinian public statements, a claim that Unilever denies. That came after Ben &amp; Jerry’s targeted Israel in a boycott in 2021, which led to some investors divesting Unilever shares, and then, Ben &amp; Jerry’s sued Unilever for selling its business to a licensee in Israel. 
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wokest-wash-around-doves-campaign-against-normalcy-continues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dove</a></h3>
Dove’s hypocrisy was on full display earlier this year when it claimed to support girls and women in sports despite the fact that two years ago, the brand congratulated Laurel Hubbard, a male weightlifter who competed against women at the Olympics.
Dove continues to push its “anti-racist” and pro-LGBTQ messaging on its website. 
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harrys-sends-another-bag-of-cash-to-group-promoting-radical-gender-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry’s</a></h3>
While some companies toned down their Pride Month messaging this year, Harry’s doubled down on the wokeness, bragging about its support for radical gender theory and announcing on June 1 that it’s continuing its partnership with The Trevor Project, an activist organization that runs a chat room where minors can talk to peers and adults about their sexuality.
Some companies may never learn that wokeness is being rejected by most Americans. But thankfully there are alternatives that will never force leftism on you, and alternatives that will join the fight against wokeness — alternatives like Jeremy’s Razors.

The first debate between Vice presidential candidates J.D. Vance and Tim Walz will stream live on DailyWire+ on Tuesday, and Daily Wire hosts will give pre-debate analysis and post-debate reactions on &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/2024-vp-debate-dw-backstage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Backstage</a>,&#8221; beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Following the September 10 debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the showdown between Vance and Walz on October 1 will provide voters with a second opportunity to hear from the candidates on the 2024 presidential ballot. DailyWire+ viewers can get exclusive pre-show analysis from Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and Jeremy Boreing, followed by a post-debate breakdown with insights not heard from the mainstream media.
As Election Day nears, the stakes continue to grow for the Vance-Walz showdown, and with Trump and Harris not meeting on stage again, the VP debate will likely be the final big 2024 debate before November 5. Polling in battleground states couldn&#8217;t get any closer between Trump-Vance and Harris-Walz as the campaigns hit the final five weeks of the road to the White House.
The debate will be hosted by CBS News and take place in New York City. “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan will moderate the debate.
Viewers don&#8217;t have to change the channel from &#8220;Backstage&#8221; once the debate begins and can <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/2024-vp-debate-dw-backstage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">watch a simulcast</a> of the entire debate on DailyWire+.

The rapid response team for Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; presidential campaign stepped in it again on Tuesday — just over a week after even CNN was forced to slap @KamalaHQ with a brutal fact-check — when the account identified The Daily Wire&#8217;s Matt Walsh as a &#8220;top Trump operative.&#8221;
Walsh may be many things — a best-selling children&#8217;s author, a renowned DEI expert, and a documentarian to name a few — but a Trump operative he is not. But still, KamalaHQ ran with a post &#8220;outing him&#8221; as such in addition to tying him to The Heritage Foundation&#8217;s Project 2025 — which they have repeatedly and dishonestly claimed is Trump&#8217;s second-term agenda.
&#8220;Top Trump operative, echoing Project 2025: Not only should the Department of Education be abolished, but the entire public school system should be abolished,&#8221; the post captioned a video clip of Walsh from his show.

The Daily Wire&#8217;s Matt Walsh fired back on Tuesday at critics who expressed concern about the methods he had employed during the making of his hit comedy film, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/am-i-racist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist?</a>&#8221; — namely that he had &#8220;lied&#8221; to the &#8220;unwitting stars&#8221; who made his film possible.
Walsh was responding to those like Denny Burk, who argued in an <a href="https://wng.org/opinions/is-owning-the-libs-a-justification-for-lying-1726567683" target="_blank" rel="noopener">op-ed</a> titled, &#8220;Is &#8216;owning the libs&#8217; a justification for lying?&#8221; that the film &#8220;opened up a conversation about the ethics of deception and lying when doing so for an ostensibly good cause.&#8221;
But as Walsh pointed out in a lengthy X post, the reason he had to go to such lengths to expose the unwitting main characters — in both &#8220;Am I Racist?&#8221; and &#8220;What is a Woman?&#8221; — was that he was dealing with people who would never intentionally reveal themselves.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
As there’s a lot of conversation about it today, I will say one more thing about the methods we used to make “Am I Racist?” and “What Is A Woman?” before that.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;We are trying to expose the so-called expert class — our self-appointed moral superiors who impose their doctrines on us from on high. Some conservatives have expressed discomfort with the fact that we use &#8216;deception&#8217; to accomplish this goal,&#8221; Walsh said, adding that he did not necessarily believe that the word &#8220;deception&#8221; was the most accurate descriptor.
&#8220;The better question is this: how else can these people be exposed?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Sure, you can make your arguments, present your opinion, explain why these people are full of s***. But that doesn’t expose them. Not in the way Robin DiAngelo was exposed, or the professor in WIAW, or any of the other unwitting co-stars in our films.&#8221;

Walsh went on to argue that the only way to truly expose the &#8220;expert class&#8221; was to convince them it was safe for them to &#8220;come down from their perch and open themselves up to it&#8221; — largely because, as he said, &#8220;these people will never do that intentionally. They will never knowingly make themselves vulnerable.&#8221;
The only solution, Walsh argued, was to &#8220;use more innovative and maybe even ruthless means to lure or drag them out from behind that wall — because the alternative would be to simply give up.&#8221;
&#8220;That’s what we’ve done with our films,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;And once we have them, we let them embarrass themselves. And we laugh at them. It’s not the nicest thing. But niceness is a luxury we don’t always have.&#8221;
Daily Wire co-founder and co-CEO Jeremy Boreing also weighed in on Burk&#8217;s article, laying out what set Walsh apart from his critics — particularly those, like Burk, who agreed with outcome but questioned his methods in achieving it.

&#8220;Such is the plight of the man in the arena that he must endure slings and arrows from those whose interests he advances but who themselves lack the courage and faith to do the same,&#8221; Boreing began. &#8220;I say courage and faith because the man in the arena must be bold enough to stick his neck out, and he must have faith enough to trust that his inevitable errors were borne by the only Perfect Man.&#8221;
&#8220;The critic on the sidelines needs no courage and requires no faith,&#8221; Boreing continued, noting that the critic would never face the same scrutiny as the man who took action. &#8220;His faith, like his achievements, remain largely academic.&#8221;
&#8220;The man in the arena knows God only recommends Himself, and that He uses broken vessels to enact His will, no other vessels being available to Him but One. &#8216;Maybe,&#8217; he thinks, &#8216;that means He could use a wretch like me,'&#8221; Boreing concluded. &#8220;The critic points fingers and shouts, &#8216;Look at that wretch! He should try doing things exactly the way I would do them, if I ever did anything at all!'&#8221;

Comedian Tim Young posted on <a href="https://x.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1825957276131406191">X</a> about the news, “How mentally ill do you have to be to get an abortion from a truck at the DNC?”
Pro-life news site, LifeNews, posted on Tuesday on <a href="https://x.com/LifeNewsHQ/status/1825971764905795999">X</a> that the number of abortions during the convention was reportedly even higher.
“Planned Parenthood has killed 25 babies in free abortions so far at the Democrat convention,” the post read. “They were 25 little boys and girls whose lives were made in God&#8217;s image. Our hearts break for them.”
Ahead of the convention, Planned Parenthood announced that it would be in the Windy City during the convention offering “free abortions and vasectomies this week” near the convention, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/planned-parenthood-bus-offering-free-abortions-vasectomies-outside-dnc">reported</a>.
The “mobile health clinic” is reportedly parked about a half mile down the street from the convention offering services on the first two days of the gathering.
Appointments are already entirely booked out, and there is a waiting list for vasectomies, according to Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which covers the St. Louis area and sent the bus.
The Planned Parenthood affiliate said it would take more appointments if people canceled. Free emergency contraception will also be available without an appointment at the mobile clinic.
While a majority of Americans <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/321143/americans-stand-abortion.aspx">oppose</a> abortions past the first trimester, a majority identify as “pro-choice” and support abortions early in pregnancy.
Democrats have hammered the abortion issue throughout the election cycle and are expected to continue to emphasize it over the course of the DNC this week.

Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing touted Daily Wire’s upcoming movie “Am I Racist?” as a breakthrough for conservative filmmaking.
Boreing praised the film during the latest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/daily-wire-backstage-live-at-the-ryman-240815">episode</a> of Backstage filmed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Wednesday. The episode was released on Thursday, coinciding with the release of pre-sale tickets for the new movie starring Daily Wire host Matt Walsh.
Walsh’s latest film shows the Daily Wire commentator going undercover among members of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion crowd, including scoring a sitdown interview with author Robin DiAngelo. “Am I Racist?” is Walsh’s second film after “What Is A Woman?” released in 2022.

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
“The movie is a great successor to ‘What Is A Woman?,’ but it is an evolution. It’s not another, sort of, documentary where Matt, the every-man, goes in and has conversations with these people. It’s really something we haven’t seen before from the right,” Boreing said. “It is a genuine comedy in which you allow these people to be the butt of the joke in a way that we’ve historically only seen from Sacha Baron Cohen, or even John Stewart in sort of the heyday of the Daily Show.”
“You both mock and allow these people to mock themselves in a way that I don’t think we’ve ever seen on the right. It’s a truly special film and a true risk,” Boreing said.
“Am I A Racist?” will open in theaters on September 13. Walsh asked fans to buy tickets to see the movie earlier in order to give it the widest possible reach.

“Preordering tickets is so important – and I know that if you&#8217;re like me, I&#8217;ve never pre-ordered a movie ticket in my life because, I don&#8217;t know, like I get to see one movie every 10 years. I don&#8217;t know when that time will come. When it comes. We go. But it&#8217;s so important in this case because that determines a lot,” Walsh said.
“It determines how many theaters get to show the movie, and it determines the success of the movie in a big way. And if we want more films like this to make it into theaters, then that&#8217;s why we need all of your support,” he continued. “But the thing is we&#8217;re not just asking for charity here. I promise that when you go watch the movie, you&#8217;re in for a really fun time at the movies as well.”

The Daily Wire

Daily Wire hosts, along with co-CEO Jeremy Boreing, discussed the state of the 2024 presidential race during a &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/daily-wire-backstage-tonight-7pm-et" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Backstage</a>&#8221; episode on Tuesday after a momentous week that included an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, as well as President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to end his campaign and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.
The episode began with Boreing and Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro along with hosts Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan analyzing where Trump and Harris stand as they prepare for a short campaign against each other.
&#8220;This is a different race,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;That doesn&#8217;t mean that Donald Trump doesn&#8217;t have the advantage. Donald Trump obviously does have the advantage at this point in time. If you look at the polling data, he&#8217;s running somewhere between one and two points in the national polling ahead of Kamala Harris.&#8221;
&#8220;With all of that said, obviously he&#8217;s no longer running against a dead person,&#8221; Shapiro added. &#8220;And pretty much everybody had been expending their mental energy on the fact that Joe Biden is senile and incapable of holding his office, and now Kamala Harris is in there. And this race kind of looks like the dynamic that this race had before the first debate, before Joe Biden completely fell apart, which means that Donald Trump has an advantage, but it&#8217;s less of a massive advantage and more of a slight advantage.&#8221;
Knowles said that while the Democrats ousting Biden and propping Harris up as the presumptive nominee shows that the party was &#8220;desperate,&#8221; it also serves as a reminder that the Democratic Party will do &#8220;whatever it takes&#8221; to win an election.
&#8220;We shouldn&#8217;t underestimate how formidable that political force is,&#8221; he said.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/scamala-kamala-harris-unmasked" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH BEN SHAPIRO’S ‘SCAMALA: KAMALA HARRIS UNMASKED’ ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
Boreing agreed that Harris shouldn&#8217;t be underestimated by conservatives and Republicans.
&#8220;She has, in fact, found herself in a position, never having received a single popular vote in a Democratic primary, she finds herself her party&#8217;s nominee to be president,&#8221; Boreing said. &#8220;And as we learned in 2016, if you are the nominee, you can win.&#8221;
Boreing added that with Harris as the presumptive nominee, &#8220;there&#8217;s a huge wave of new voter enthusiasm [that] completely changes the game.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s unfair,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They basically got to the last inning of the game, realized that their opponent was far, far ahead, and then they just called a complete reset — fundamentally changed the rules of the game, fundamentally changed the competition, but that is the reality that is before us.&#8221;
Boreing said that Trump, his campaign, and &#8220;everyone who wants Trump to be the next president&#8221; must &#8220;do the work to get him elected.&#8221;
Walsh also agreed that conservatives should not underestimate Harris&#8217; threat to Trump&#8217;s election chances, and added that the legacy media&#8217;s role in the election could prove pivotal as well.
&#8220;Sometimes we like to wish cast and tell ourselves that corporate media is irrelevant, but they&#8217;re not,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;We saw what happened when they, along with the donor class and Democrat elites, decided they wanted to get rid of a sitting president. They did it in three weeks. So if they set out right now and they decide that, you know what, Kamala Harris is a transformational candidate, she&#8217;s a once-in-a-generation political figure, she&#8217;s going to be the first female president, she&#8217;s all these things. &#8230; If they decide they want to convince the public of that, they have a real ability to do that for a lot of people.&#8221;
Klavan chimed in and quipped, &#8220;I have to say that Kamala does have some strengths that actually are strengths. She hates Jews, she kills babies, and she bails out rioters. And those are things that the Democratic base not only likes, but they will make it less likely that the Democratic Convention is overrun by pro-Hamas Nazi protesters.&#8221;

Daily Wire Hosts Analyze The State Of The 2024 Race After Biden's Exit

Elections

Conservatives and social media users slammed President Joe Biden for opting to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-drops-out-of-presidential-race?topStoryPosition=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announce the end of his campaign</a> on Sunday through a letter posted on social media instead of a live televised statement.
Biden wrote in a letter that circulated on Sunday afternoon that “while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” The president added that he &#8220;will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.&#8221;
Biden was quickly blasted on social media for informing the country of his decision through a letter instead of a live address to the nation.
&#8220;To do this by letter and tweet where we cannot see your face or hear your voice amid all the palace intrigue and after saying for weeks you would not do it is such a failure of leadership and will open up so many conspiracy theories…&#8221; Daily Wire Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing posted on X.

Addressing Biden&#8217;s announcement in a short video on Sunday, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-biden-dropping-out-creates-massive-questions-for-democrats?topStoryPosition=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the White House choosing to release a statement on X about the move &#8220;demonstrates where things are at.&#8221;
“You would figure that he would do a sort of ‘farewell’ press conference,” Shapiro said, adding that Biden&#8217;s announcement &#8220;leaves open a massive question as to why exactly he is qualified to continue running the country right now, but he is not qualified to continue running for the nomination of the Democratic Party.”

They just tweeted it out with a digital signature lol. No video expected until &#8216;later in the week.'&#8221;
&#8220;Full clown world. We have no idea if Biden authorized any of this,&#8221; Schachtel added.
After announcing the end of his re-election campaign, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place atop the Democratic Party&#8217;s ticket. The endorsement, however, does not ensure that Harris will be the nominee, potentially setting up a chaotic Democratic National Convention next month.
Numerous Democrats urged Biden to step aside following his disastrous debate performance against Republcian nominee Donald Trump on June 27.

“Black Panther” star Letitia Wright — who is an executive producer of “<a href="https://www.angel.com/tickets/sound-of-hope-the-story-of-possum-trot?utm_source=The+Daily+Wire&amp;utm_medium=partner&amp;utm_campaign=dailywire&amp;utm_content=dailywire&amp;codes=DAILYWIRE&amp;oid=35&amp;_ef_transaction_id=dee764931a7745c491a7dab741acd5df&amp;promo=dailywire">Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot</a>” — blasted The Daily Wire’s partnership with Angel Studios to release the hit movie, prompting a direct response from Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing. 
“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sound-of-hope">Sound of Hope</a>” was released in theaters on July 4 and quickly took off, surpassing box office expectations and bringing in $6.8 million over the holiday weekend. Despite the film’s success in bringing attention to the foster care crisis, some on the Left focused on Angel Studios’ partnership with The Daily Wire. Wright released a statement on social media, saying she is “in no way aligned or affiliated with” the conservative company. 
Multiple Hollywood news outlets, including Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, and Variety, covered Wright’s rebuke of the Angel Studios-Daily Wire partnership. 
“To be clear, after we completed the production of this film, Angel Studios were brought on board to handle its distribution and they later partnered with The Daily Wire. That was not my decision, and I was not given an update or made aware of this decision. I am in no way aligned or affiliated with The Daily Wire,” Wright <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9GWT_lIOXY/?hl=en&amp;img_index=3">wrote</a> on Instagram. “It’s a shame to see pockets of discourse online take a divisive political turn. This story isn’t about politics, it’s about children. Any conversation that detracts from that is unnecessary and harmful.” 
“I am thankful for all who want to positively champion this film and campaign to serve children,” Wright added. “However, I do not condone using this beautiful film for divisive political purposes. That is not why I joined the project.”
Boreing, who announced his company’s partnership with Angel Studios on “Sound of Hope” last month, <a href="https://x.com/JeremyDBoreing/status/1811157424142741580">responded</a>, saying that even if there are political differences between Wright and the conservative media outlet, it’s more important to focus on the film’s message of “a community banding together to help kids in need.” 
“On its opening day &#8211; July 4th – Sound of Hope was one of the highest grossing films nationwide, second only to Disney&#8217;s biggest release of the year. This movie is tracking to be huge and has the potential to launch a movement to end America’s foster crisis,” Boreing wrote on X. “The Daily Wire is truly honored to partner with Angel Studios on such an important project. But, such is the intolerance of the modern left that instead of celebrating this accomplishment and all it might mean, one of the film’s producers, Letitia Wright of Black Panther fame, used the occasion to condemn The Daily Wire’s involvement in sharing this message across the country.” 
“Letitia and I probably don’t share the same politics, but I believe we share a Christian faith and, more importantly, the same goal of shining a light on something we can all agree on &#8211; a community banding together to help kids in need,” Boreing added. “We hope people don’t allow this distraction to steal from the message from the film and the impact it can have. Everyone should see this movie and join the fight for kids. It’s too important not to.” 
Angel Studios President Jordan Harmon also responded to Wright’s statement, <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/07/letitia-wright-sound-of-hope-daily-wire-1236006412/">saying</a>, “This powerful film takes a stand for vulnerable kids, and we’re pursuing partners who are passionate about this fight. Angel Studios is grateful for both Letitia and Daily Wire’s partnership on getting this story out into the world, and everyone concerned about the foster care and adoption crisis to get involved and see Sound of Hope.”
“Sound of Hope” is based on the inspiring true story of Donna and Reverend Martin, a couple who joined 22 families from their rural black church in the small East Texas town of Possum Trot to adopt 77 of the most difficult-to-place kids in the foster system.
The movie sits at an impressive 98% <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sound_of_hope_the_story_of_possum_trot">Rotten Tomatoes</a> audience score and an A+ CinemaScore rating.
