Board said founder's conduct 'gives rise to criminal liability… at a minimum, a third degree felony.' Dennis Kennedy with Hillary Clinton / National Diversity Council A prominent diversity, equity, and inclusion nonprofit declared bankruptcy this month after its board accused its founder and top employees of stealing millions of dollars, a Daily Wire investigation found. Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey are set to keynote a conference run by the alleged thief, apparently through his for-profit firm, next month.

This rumor comes from Ian Carroll and comes immediately following co-CEO Jeremy Boreing announcing he was stepping down as co-CEO and would move into an advisor role working on creative endeavors such as The Pendragon Cycle. On March 18th, The Daily Wire and Boreing announced he was stepping down. In a press release, Boreing said, “When Ben, Caleb, and I founded The Daily Wire in 2015, we set out to build an institution. I’m enormously proud of our team, of our many battles, and of the successes we’ve achieved together over the last decade. And we’re just getting started.” “To...

Harvey Weinstein was seen showing off a toothless grin in court this week at his sex crimes retrial — but the fallen movie mogul says the smile wasn’t from happiness. It was to showcase dental care in the can. “I’m not doing well, I’m in Rikers Island… this is a horrible place, no one should be here...". He said that because the medical care at the facility is so poor, he’s had his teeth pulled by prison medics. (He’s unsuccessfully requested previously to go to his own dentist.) But when Weinstein called us from jail in advance of his retrial,...

Over the past few years, conservative commentator Brett Cooper has made a huge number of videos at a YouTube channel which, until very recently, was called “The Comments Section with Brett Cooper.” That YouTube channel is run by the Daily Wire, which is, in turn, run by Ben Shapiro.Here is one of Cooper’s videos from that channel, so you can see her style of talking in case you’re not familiar with her:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU8kGWoaroMCooper recently left the channel, and has been replaced with what is being referred to as “Temu Brett Cooper.” For those of you who aren’t familiar with Temu, it’s...

Obama’s ‘Censorship’ Office Goes Bankrupt COMMENTARY By Gabe KaminskyDecember 30, 2024 Obama’s ‘Censorship’ Office Goes BankruptAP The Global Engagement Center, an office housed within the State Department and aiming to thwart disinformation and misinformation, has been forced by Congress to close up shop. It’s no mystery why; the taxpayer-backed GEC violated its mandate to work only overseas and devolved into a partisan enabler of speech suppression in the United States. Here’s how. Founded in 2016 and technically the product of an Obama-era executive order on counterterrorism, the GEC lapsed in December and lost congressional funding. Over the last two years,...

The former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says that “all the anger about illegal immigration” pushed him to publicly make the case for the importance of legal immigration, he told The Daily Wire. Gingrich, along with his wife Callista Gingrich, is set to release a documentary on the value of legal immigration to the United States next month. He says the idea is to highlight immigrant stories that made the country a better place. “Callista and I wanted to make the case for legal immigration with all of the anger about illegal immigration. We wanted a diverse range...

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s wife discussed sexual orientation in the classroom as a high school teacher, and spoke to at least one student about his sexuality before he had told his parents he identified as gay, the student said during a campaign event aimed at LGBTQ voters. Jacob Reitan, a former student of Gwen Walz when she taught at Mankato West High School in Minnesota, has said on numerous occasions that Gwen Walz told his entire class “on the very first day” of sophomore year that her class was a safe place for any student that identified as...

In a court order Tuesday, a U.S. District judge rejected the Biden State Department’s attempts to dismiss a censorship lawsuit brought by The Daily Wire, The Federalist, and the State of Texas. The Daily Wire lawsuit, filed jointly by the New Civil Liberties Alliance with The Federalist and Texas in December of 2023 to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleges that the U.S. State Department is engaging with and promoting censorship technology designed to bankrupt domestic media outlets with disfavored political opinions.

The Daily Wire and controversial right-wing commentator Candace Owens parted ways on Friday, according to CEO Jeremy Boreing. “Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” announced Boreing on X. Owens’s departure comes after months of tensions between her and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro over her promotion of various anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. After the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel and outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip, Owens quickly emerged as a critic of Israel’s military operations, promoting falsehoods about supposed religious segregation in Jerusalem and all but accusing Israel of genocide. In the months since, Owens...

'Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,' co-founder and CEO Jeremy Boreing posted on X Friday morning. Owens, 34, reacted to the news saying, 'The rumors are true - I am finally free.' She also shared her personal website for those who want to support her work and teased 'many announcements in the weeks to come,' saying she will bring back her show on YouTube after a brief hiatus....

Candace Owens has wagered her career that French President Emmanuel Macron's wife was born a man. The controversial conservative commentator took to X to tout the false theory, hours after outlining it on an episode of her podcast. It goes that French First Lady Brigitte Macron, 70, was actually born Jean-Michel Trogneux, before eventually transitioning at age 30.

Early in 2023, we were among many outlets to report on Jamie Reed, the transgender clinic employee who became a whistleblower over what was going on at St. Louis Children's Hospital Gender Clinic. The news was damning, and snidely dismissed by the media as a 'receptionist with an agenda.' And now lawsuits threaten the 'booming' gender-transition business, and yet another whistleblower has come forward. This time a doctor, and now the feds are going after him. A Doctor Blew The Whistle On His Hospital’s Transgender Clinic. Now The Feds Are Trying To Ruin His Life. https://t.co/Lo91U8lpxh — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire)...

The Daily Wire, The Federalist, and the state of Texas joined on Tuesday in a lawsuit against the U.S. State Department, alleging that the government agency funded censorship technology designed to bankrupt domestic media outlets with disfavored political opinions. The State Department is tasked with foreign relations and has no authority over domestic affairs, yet it took a government office designed for countering foreign terrorist propaganda, the Global Engagement Center (GEC), and unleashed it against Americans engaged in what it claimed was “disinformation,” according to the lawsuit, filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas on Tuesday night...

“Lady Ballers,” a movie that mocks the recent and controversial phenomenon of men competing in women’s sports, will be released by The Daily Wire at 8:00 p.m. ET Friday. The DailyWire+ original and the company’s first-ever feature-length comedy has already received praise following its red-carpet premiere. “Lady Ballers” tells the story of one down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach, Rob, who will do anything to win — which in this case means teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports. “Lady Ballers” is directed...

In the past few years The Daily Wire has begun attempting to move into the movie production business, having apparently seen an audience for conservative leaning films that's been largely abandoned by the main Hollywood studios. Last year they acquired the rights to a small independent super hero movie called 'The Hyperions' and have since begun working to make their own movies such as their upcoming adaptation of the Snow White faerie tale, 'Snow White and the Evil Queen'. Well, today Jeremy Boreing of The Daily Wire dropped the trailer for a new movie they've produced and boy oh boy...

There’s some real anger spilling over at the Daily Wire this week but I think it’s fair to say this has been building up for a while now. Ben Shapiro, the co-founder of the Daily Wire, has obviously been one of the most outspoken defenders on Israel online. Candace Owens works there as one of their most prominent voices but she’s taken a very different view. For instance, she has argued that the charge of anti-Semitism has been “weaponized” to silence people.

Homeland Security’s legal immigration agency put an employee on leave Wednesday after being confronted with her history as an operative for the Palestine Liberation Organization and a more recent series of pro-Hamas social media posts. Nejwa Ali had been hired at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as an asylum officer in 2019 and is now serving as an adjudication officer, according to her LinkedIn profile. That profile is also used to highlight her time as a public affairs officer for the PLO, an umbrella group that advocates for Palestinians and has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S....
