Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh stood firm in their defense of free speech and conservative values after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even as some unhinged leftists called for more political commentators to be targeted.
Shapiro and Walsh dedicated their shows on Thursday to honoring the legacy of Kirk, who was killed while speaking to students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. During their shows, both Shapiro and Walsh also told their followers that despite concerns of more violence against conservatives, they would never back down and continue to stand &#8220;up for what America is and what she should be.&#8221;
&#8220;I saw a lot of rumors online today that I&#8217;m going to cancel some sort of college tour. That&#8217;s bullshit. I saw those rumors. They are false. I will be coming to college campuses, many of them this year,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;So will we all, I am sure, because we are Americans. And we&#8217;re not going to be deterred.&#8221;
&#8220;Charlie&#8217;s voice is not silent. We&#8217;re going to pick up that blood-stained microphone where Charlie left it,&#8221; Shapiro added. &#8220;And to those who would intimidate, who would seek to stop us, who would seek to end free discussion, who believe that they have ownership over public spaces and can violently threaten and kill people who speak freely, we are not going to stop. And I have two words: fuck you.&#8221;
&#8220;We will not stop telling the truth. We will never stop telling the truth,&#8221; the Daily Wire editor emeritus continued. &#8220;We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and for what she should be. And we will never let Charlie Kirk&#8217;s voice die.&#8221;

Walsh also remained undeterred from speaking the truth after Kirk&#8217;s assassination, adding that the &#8220;evil gloating&#8221; of Kirk&#8217;s enemies following his killing &#8220;are accolades in their own right.&#8221;
&#8220;May we all be so successful and productive that our enemies celebrate when we die,&#8221; he said. &#8220;May we all be so devastating to the leftist project that they long for our demise. May we all fight so hard and so effectively that they have no choice but to try to kill us. May our lives be a problem for these people, and our deaths a relief.&#8221;
&#8220;Let them dance on my grave as they did on Charlie&#8217;s, then I will know that I did my duty,&#8221; Walsh continued, saying that even through Kirk&#8217;s smile and respectful debate, he was a &#8220;devastating fighter.&#8221;
&#8220;And his opponents are overjoyed because they think that they&#8217;ve gotten rid of him, but they&#8217;re wrong. They have gravely misjudged the situation. The only thing more powerful than a living fighter is a martyred one,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I want to be very clear that we will not back down after this. We will not shrink away or go into hiding. We will not fall silent. We will not walk in fear. We will stand taller and prouder than we ever have, and be louder and bolder than we&#8217;ve ever been, and fight harder than we&#8217;ve ever fought.&#8221;

Ben Shapiro Vows To ‘Pick up That Blood-Stained Microphone Where Charlie Left It’

The last time I saw my friend Charlie Kirk in person was when I appeared with him on stage at the TPUSA pastor’s summit back in the spring. I spoke with him backstage beforehand and told him, as I had several times before, that I was incredibly impressed by this institution and movement that he built. But he wasn&#8217;t interested in listening to me compliment him. He deflected, as always, and started asking me about myself and saying nice and encouraging things. 
A few months before that, in the wake of Trump’s victory, Charlie made a point of posting something to X to give me credit for helping Trump win. It was one of the very few times that I&#8217;ve disagreed with something Charlie said. The truth is that he was the primary reason why Trump won. It was his organizing and advocacy and activism and mobilization that helped to turn the tide. And yet he wanted to give the credit to other people, even people who didn’t deserve it. That&#8217;s the kind of guy that Charlie was. A rare type in the world today. Even rarer in this business. It may seem like a small thing. But Charlie’s desire to give other people credit, to point to and praise and lift up other people rather than himself, is one of the most profound testaments to his character.
Charlie was truly a great man. Great in personal virtue. Great in achievement. Great in his talents. He was a builder, an organizer, and a fighter — a rare combination. In this movement, you have a bunch of big personalities who can inform, entertain, and hold your attention on stage or in front of a camera. And then you have the organizers who know how to orchestrate and build, harness those personalities and point them in the right direction. Charlie was the only guy I ever knew who was truly great in both areas. He was a one of a kind talent. Everyone who knew him — and so many who did not know him personally — could tell that he was destined to be the President of the United States one day. I would have been proud to vote for him. Tens of millions of Americans felt the same way.
Charlie was brave. He would go anywhere and talk to anyone. He would debate anyone in any environment. He trusted in his own vast rhetorical skill, and in the rightness of his ideas. Most of all, as a man of deep faith, he trusted in the Lord. I don&#8217;t know if he had Isaiah 41:10 written as a mantra in his house somewhere, but it certainly seemed to be written on his heart. “Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” He knew that the Lord was with him, protecting him, guiding his thoughts and his words. Which is really the only way to explain Charlie&#8217;s nearly supernatural ability to win every debate he ever had with anyone. God had called him to this moment, and blessed him as he rose to it, again and again.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1656-america-will-never-be-the-same-after-charlie-kirk-s-assassination?elementPosition=0&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
Charlie was a patriot. He loved America. He fought for her every day. And he died for her. His central ambition was not for his own personal advancement but for the well-being and flourishing of this country. For Charlie, Make America Great Again was not a slogan on a hat. It was his mission, his great project. He did more to complete that mission than you could ever expect one man to do. Most importantly of all, of course, Charlie was a husband and a father. He loved his family dearly. You didn&#8217;t have to know him or ever meet him in person to know that about him. It came across in everything he said and did. This was a man who cherished his family. And would have died to make a better world for them. And did.
Now he’s gone. We have seen him die right in front of our eyes, on stage. He died while trying to have a free and civil debate, which is all he ever did. He didn&#8217;t insult. He didn’t defame. He didn’t shout anyone down. He invited everyone to come and speak to him, to prove him wrong. And for that, they killed him. I have to tell you that, as a fellow conservative in the public eye, I always worried that it would come to this. That eventually they would start killing us. But I never thought it would be Charlie. He was the nicest, most generous and charitable of us. Far less inflammatory than plenty of other people in this space, myself included. And they killed him in spite of that. Or not in spite, but because of that. He was too effective. Too widely beloved, especially among the younger generations. So they killed him.
I can only be honest with you in this moment and tell you that I am sad, I am heartbroken, and I am full of rage. If you want a kumbaya message of unity and togetherness, you will not get it from me. Over the past 24 hours, I have seen some in the media — some of the very same people who intentionally stoked murderous hatred against people like Charlie Kirk — now saying that we need to &#8220;turn the temperature down&#8221; and “start having conversations.” Well, Charlie tried to have conversations with you on the Left. And you killed him for it. You’re killing us in our churches. You tried to kill our president. You killed one of our greatest advocates in Charlie Kirk. You have been openly cheering for and celebrating and encouraging and committing political violence for years. Antifa. BLM. Well-funded, highly orchestrated, widespread movements based in and fueled by violence. You made a hero out of Luigi Mangione. And you celebrate Charlie’s death even now. It is too late to turn the temperature down. This is not a time to hold hands. It&#8217;s a time for justice. It&#8217;s a time for good to fight back against evil. It is a time for the righteous to prevail. For the sake of our country. For our children. For Charlie.
Many of you have seen all of the myriad posts and videos from leftist demons celebrating Charlie&#8217;s death. I know we want to tell ourselves that these are fringe voices, but they aren&#8217;t. There is a very large group of people out there who want us dead. Even in Congress, they tried to have a moment of silence after Charlie&#8217;s passing, but Democrats jeered and heckled. This is who they are. Not on the fringes, but in the main. They could not possibly make themselves any clearer about it. 
But I do want to say this. When I see these rodents gloating now over the death of my friend, I am, of course, disgusted by it. Yet also, I truly see it as a powerful tribute to Charlie’s life and work. Charlie had many friends who loved him dearly. Many fans who adored and admired him. That is, without a doubt, the greatest testament to the sort of man he was. But as a true culture warrior, it must be said that the evil gloating of his enemies is an accolade in its own right. May we all be so successful and productive that our enemies celebrate when we die. May we all be so devastating to the Leftist project that they long for our demise. May we all fight so hard and so effectively that they have no choice but to try to kill us. May our lives be a problem for these people, and our deaths a relief. Let them dance on my grave, as they dance on Charlie&#8217;s. Then I will know that I did my duty. Our opponent should be happy when we leave the ring. If they aren&#8217;t, then we didn&#8217;t punch hard enough.
Charlie punched harder than anyone. He did it with a smile. He did it through speech and debate. But he was a devastating fighter all the same. And his opponents are overjoyed because they think they’ve gotten rid of him. But they&#8217;re wrong. They’ve gravely misjudged the situation. The only thing more powerful than a living fighter is a martyred one. In life, Charlie motivated and rallied us to put on the armor of God and fight for what we believe in. In death, he motivates and rallies us all the more. I want to be very clear that we will not back down after this. We will not shrink away or go into hiding. We will not fall silent. We will not walk in fear. We will stand taller and prouder than we ever have, and be louder and bolder than we&#8217;ve ever been, and fight harder than we’ve ever fought. They think they can kill the movement by killing us. But in the entire history of the world, that strategy has never worked. And it won&#8217;t work now. I promise you that.
You can kill a man. You can shoot him in the neck on stage. You can spill his blood for the whole world to see. But you cannot kill a cause. Especially when that cause is nothing else but love of God, love of country, love of family. That cause is truth. You can&#8217;t kill the truth. No matter how many of us you shoot. You cannot kill it. 
Many of us — conservatives on the public stage — have seen the death threats and death wishes over the last several hours. Leftists across social media are making their wishlist of who they’d like to see assassinated next. I’m often on the list. Ben is on it. Many other names. I do think the chances of a copycat event are very high. And that is why I feel it&#8217;s important for me to say that I will not back down. I am not going to hide. None of us will. If we back down, then the demons who killed Charlie will win. And they cannot win. They will not win.
A day before his death, Charlie posted a picture of Iryna, the young woman who was killed on the light rail in Charlotte, and added a short caption. “America will never be the same,” he wrote. Amen, my friend. You had no idea how right you were. America will never be the same. It will be better. Thanks in large part to your work, your legacy, and your example, America will ultimately be better. But there is a lot more to be done in the meantime. The fight continues. You finished your race, Charlie. You fought the good fight. You kept the faith. Now we will take it from here. And we won&#8217;t give up until the work is done. You can rest in peace, knowing that. Godspeed.

America Will Never Be The Same After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

America Will Never Be The Same After Charlie Kirk's Assassination

Conservatives

Turning Point USA

Yesterday, I covered at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-savage-crime-the-media-doesnt-want-you-to-know-about">great length</a> the horrific killing of Iryna Zarutska, the 23 year-old Ukrainian refugee who was savagely stabbed to death on a train in Charlotte by DeCarlos Brown, an evil, psychotic criminal barbarian with a lengthy rap sheet. To review: Iryna was on her way home from a shift at the pizza place where she worked. She boarded the light rail car and sat down in front of Brown without a single word exchanged between them. A few minutes into the ride, Brown pulled out a knife, stood up, and began butchering Iryna to death without warning. He then proceeded to walk around the train, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Nobody attempted to intervene at any point.
We now know Brown had been arrested 14 times before this awful crime was committed. The criminal justice system — which has no interest in dispensing justice to criminals — had 14 chances to get this creature off the street. They could have permanently removed him from society after the third arrest, or the fourth, or the seventh, or the tenth, but instead they gave him 14 chances. Even after he committed armed robbery, and assault, and more than a dozen other crimes. The system simply churned him back out, waited for him to get arrested again, and then churned him out again, like some kind of demonic merry-go-round.
This is a huge national story. A young woman lost her life in one of the most heinous ways imaginable. It is everything that George Floyd was purported to be, but never actually was. Floyd’s death didn’t matter that much. He was a violent career criminal who contributed nothing of value to society and then overdosed. Iryna, on the other hand, is an actual innocent victim of brutal interracial violence. Her death is a major scandal. It is the direct result of deep and widespread systemic failures and corruption. She should have the murals and the streets named after her. The judges and city officials who let her killer loose on the street should all get the Derek Chauvin treatment.
Instead, up until yesterday, Iryna’s case, far from being treated like a national scandal, was completely ignored by the national media. None of the major national outlets had said a word about it. CNN and MSNBC hadn’t spent even 30 seconds of airtime reporting on it. The New York Times and the Washington Post hadn&#8217;t dedicated 5 sentences of coverage to it. It was a total media blackout, made all the more infuriating by how utterly, disgustingly predictable it was.
But these days the media don’t lead the conversation, as much as they wish they could. The conversation happens without them, until they are forced to chime in for fear of being reduced to permanent irrelevance. So, over the 24 hours since our episode aired, finally some of the major corporate outlets decided to acknowledge this case, as we had left them no choice. And their spin is exactly what you would expect. To the media, the story isn&#8217;t the murder itself, but the fact that conservatives are talking about the murder. It isn’t that a black criminal butchered an innocent white woman, but that we have noticed it.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1654-the-matt-walsh-show?elementPosition=0&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
There are now headlines like this one from Politico: “Ukrainian refugee killed in North Carolina gets dragged into political messaging war. President Donald Trump and MAGA allies are using the killing of Iryna Zarutska to attack Democrats.” Yes, you see, Democrats are really the victims here. A young woman bled to death in public but the real concern is that Democrats are being attacked by conservative pundits on social media.
Axios had a similar spin. Headline: “Stabbing video fuels MAGA&#8217;s crime message.” They’re right, of course. The stabbing video does fuel our crime message. That’s because our crime message is that crime is bad. And people who commit crimes should go to prison, and not be permitted to stab women to death on the train. In the same way you could say that a video of a house fire fuels our firefighting message, which is that it’s bad for houses to burn down, and we should put out the fires rather than allowing them to engulf entire neighborhoods. Our messages tend to be pretty simple in that way.
But there is one part of this absurd <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/12/trump-media-maga-influencers-election">Axios piece</a> that warrants special mention:
<blockquote>“MAGA influencers are drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases. <a href="https://www.wbtv.com/2025/09/05/light-rail-stabbing-graphic-video-shows-moments-before-after-woman-killed-charlotte/">Shocking video</a> of the fatal Aug. 22 <a href="https://www.charlottenc.gov/cmpd/News-Information/Newsroom/Homicide-Investigation-in-the-Central-Division-08.22.25">knife attack</a> on 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina, dominated weekend conversation on Trump-friendly social media… The rising number of surveillance cameras in public spaces, including on Charlotte&#8217;s light rail, has become a big accelerant in these cases. The video is easily shared or leaked, and can instantly pollinate across social media — a visual counterpoint to statistics showing crime decreases.”</blockquote>
That’s correct. As I&#8217;ve covered extensively in the past, crime stats can be manipulated in many ways. You can show “decreases&#8221; in violent crime simply by now reporting the crime, or not charging the criminals. If a city decides to pretend that vast categories of crime are no longer crimes, then “crime,” statistically, will go down. It is not hard to make a city safer on the stat sheet.
Making it safer on the light rail car, however, is a different matter. A city can be safe on a sheet of paper, but not safe on the street, or the sidewalk, or at the gas station, or on public transportation, and so on.
The videos break through the false narratives and the juked crime stats by showing us what’s actually happening. It is one thing to hear that a city has X number of murders. It&#8217;s another thing to see what that means, to see how these murders are happening, and where they&#8217;re happening, and who they&#8217;re happening to, and who they’re being committed by. That’s why all of the security cameras and police body cameras are becoming a major problem for the Left. Don’t be surprised when there’s a major push to get rid of the cameras in the name of “privacy.” As we’ve talked about many times, we&#8217;ve already seen the beginnings of this process with police body cams. The left-wing race hustlers demanded the body cams, and then the body cams proceeded to annihilate all of their narratives about police brutality, and now they’re not so hot on body cams anymore. A similar thing will happen — and is already beginning to happen — with security cameras.
Here’s a story out of Canada:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

So, he has ten cameras because of a rash of attempted break-ins. The cameras have been used not only to protect himself against burglary and other crimes, but to help solve and prevent other crimes in the neighborhood. Now his local city school marm bureaucratic tyrants are telling him to take the cameras down because of &#8220;privacy&#8221; concerns. But we all know the real concern. It’s that the cameras are not only documenting crime, but documenting who is actually committing most of the crime. And that is the thing we aren&#8217;t supposed to notice. The noticing is the problem.
That’s certainly what CNN is worried about:

So the narrative we hear from the media is as predictable as it is revolting. They are infinitely more outraged at the alleged “racially charged language” of conservative pundits than they are at the actual butchery of an innocent woman by a 14 time career felon on public transportation. They are not angry that this woman was killed. They couldn’t care less. They wouldn&#8217;t even be talking about it, if they had their way. Instead they’re outraged by the “racism” of conservatives who have noticed that the murder happens.
Then we hear from Van Jones that we can’t say for sure whether that black criminal killed Iryna because she was white. So just to review: the media can say for sure that it’s racist to say mean things about a black guy who killed a white woman, but they can&#8217;t say for sure that it’s racist for a black guy to actually kill a white woman. The murder isn’t racist. The commentary is. That&#8217;s what these despicable snakes are actually claiming.
Keep in mind, this is coming from the same people who declared from the first moment that the George Floyd footage went viral that it was a racist hate crime. There was nothing in the video — not a single thing — that indicated any kind of racial motivation whatsoever. And yet when a black suspect ODs while being detained by a white cop, it&#8217;s a racist killing. When a black criminal slaughters a white woman on the train, it’s a mental health episode. This is what these soulless goblins expect us to believe.
Hey, Van, here&#8217;s what we know. Statistically, a white person is 30 times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around. In 2019, there were about 560 thousand violent interracial incidents between blacks and whites. 470 thousand of them were black on white. That&#8217;s 85%. 240 black people were killed by whites. 560 white people were killed by blacks. And this is all in spite of the fact that white people make up 60% of the population. Blacks are 13%. Just by raw numbers — not even per capita, but raw numbers — there are more black interracial killers than white. There are 171 million more white people in the country, and yet there are more black interracial killers. That kind of disparity should be impossible. And yet it&#8217;s real, and it&#8217;s happening.
Per capita, the situation is even more dire. Black people — young black males in particular — are an order of magnitude more violent and more likely to commit crimes than any other group in the country. Black men are 5 or 6% of the population but they commit the majority of murders in this country. That makes black males in America more dangerous than perhaps any other demographic in the entire world, let alone the country. And we know all of this despite the efforts by the FBI and every other institution to hide and bury racial crime statistics. Imagine how much worse it really is. Imagine how grisly it would look if they let us see the whole picture, instead of just pieces of it.
But we can see enough to know, without any doubt whatsoever, that the violent crime epidemic is driven by one demographic to an overwhelmingly disproportionate degree. And all of this has happened while you, Van, and your propagandist cohorts, have spent years claiming that the reality is exactly the opposite of this. You paint a picture of a country where black people walk around in fear of white violence. Where black people are constantly tired and exhausted by the brutality inflicted upon them by the villainous whites.
But those of us who you condemn as “racists” — we are the ones who are tired. We are tired of not being able to walk down the street in our own cities. We are tired of losing good, productive citizens at the hands of violent degenerates who contribute nothing to society. We are tired of the total lack of accountability and responsibility. We are tired of a system that prioritizes the “restoration” and “rehabilitation&#8221; of violent psychopaths over the protection of innocent, law abiding people. And we are tired of pretending that all of this isn’t happening. We aren&#8217;t going to pretend anymore.

The Savage Crime The Media Doesn’t Want You To Know About

Criminal Justice

Stabbing

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. 
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. 
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.
“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 <a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1572313369528635392">reported</a> 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.”
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 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tennessee-looking-at-child-gender-transition-legislation-after-vanderbilt-transgender-videos-released">called</a> for an immediate end to the procedures. 
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. 
Walsh later testified before state lawmakers in favor of the Republican-backed bill to ban transgender procedures on kids in Tennessee. 
“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.” 
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. 
In June 2025, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in United States v. Skrmetti that states were allowed to protect kids from transgender procedures under the Constitution. 
Walsh said that the decision was a “fatal blow” to transgender ideology. 
“Three years ago, we launched our investigation into Vanderbilt’s child mutilation practices,” he <a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1935345883769430153">said</a>. “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.”

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 “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman?row=0&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;rowType=Square+Show+Carousel">What is a Woman?</a>” 
This cultural juggernaut proved that one provocative question has the power to shatter the mainstream narrative and literally change the nation forever.
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. 
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.
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 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-a-cyberattack-tried-to-stop-you-from-watching-matt-walshs-what-is-a-woman">most trafficked live stream</a> in Daily Wire history.
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, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/every-parent-should-watch-this-elon-musk-retweets-what-is-a-woman-to-his-140m-followers">tweeting</a> “Every parent should watch this.”
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.
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.
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. 
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.
Here’s to a decade down. And a future where one question, one film, and one community at a time, we keep winning. 
We can’t wait to see what the next ten years bring.
