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....

When Nike had Dylan Mulvaney frolicking around in a sports bra and leggings a couple of months ago, we were pretty put off. And just plain annoyed. Little did we know how quaint that whole thing would seem compared to what Nike still had planned for us. Daily Wire field reporter Spencer Lindquist has the disturbing scoop: BREAKING: A leaked email from inside of Nike and obtained by @realDailyWire reveals that the company will host a talk with a child sex change surgeon to celebrate pride month. Nike will also host a "drag story time," along with several other pride...

Earlier on Thursday, Jeremy Boreing, CEO of The Daily Wire, shared a disturbing thread in which he detailed how Twitter had censored content because it included instances of “misgendering.” According to Boreing, the social media company canceled a deal to promote and stream Matt Walsh’s What Is a Woman documentary. That came after a screener was sent over and Twitter employees decided it was abuse and harassment for a man to call his biological daughter “her.”(See: The Daily Wire Alleges Elon Musk’s Twitter Canceled a Deal Over ‘Misgendering,’ and There are More Disturbing Revelations)As I wrote in my initial write-up...

On Thursday morning, The Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing dropped a bombshell claim about how Twitter is currently doing business.

It has become one of The Daily Wire’s most successful projects, and the plan was to promote and screen...

Last year, University of Kentucky swimming star Riley Gaines spoke out about being displaced by trans UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas on the awards podium despite tying for fifth place in the NCAA women’s championship 200-meter freestyle race. Thomas received a trophy that day, while Gaines did not: Speaking with The Daily Wire in a phone conversation, Riley Gaines said that as NCAA officials were handing out trophies on the podium following the race, he said: “Hey, I just want to let you know, we only have one fifth place trophy, so yours will be coming in the mail. We went...

With his January 17, 2023 video "It's time to stop," Steven Crowder, host and owner of the biggest conservative channel on YouTube, an equally impressive channel on Rumble, and the website Louder with Crowder, spent 28 minutes airing his concerns that conservative media entities are overly helpful to Big Tech control of speech and questioning the effects such business arrangements have on the culture and the country. Crowder described terms offered to him by an unnamed big conservative media company. I immediately thought of bad music industry contracts. Referring to conservative corporations that use contracts to enforce cancel culture as...
