It was going to be threats, threats of physical violence, threats of economic hardship, threats of demonetization, of blocking, of harassment, of threats against essentially the livelihood of everyone who worked for this company and our opportunities at success at every turn if we did not accept this obvious lie. So from day one, it was the Daily Wire's policy not to give into this.

From day one, it was our policy not to use the ridiculous novel concept of preferred pronouns in any of our reporting. And we decided instead we would just use pronouns in our reporting like reporters had been doing since the dawn of time.

But at the time, in retrospect, that's not a very big deal, except that at the time, everybody was moving as quickly as they could to rewrite the rules of language to accommodate for this gender madness. Back then in 2015, we only had two hosts, Ben and Drew.

At that time, I'm not even sure that we had hired Michael Knowles to be our social media manager, which was the worst decision we ever made in the history of the company. We eventually had to give him a show just because he was so bad at his job. But even with only two hosts, this issue was never far away from our coverage. I remember Ben talking about it on his 20th episode.

I remember Drew talking about it in the first month of the company and giving one of his first comedic monologues about men going into women's restrooms. And you should go back and watch it.

And in retrospect, it feels like these were just very small moves that were happening, but they were pronounced moves at the time. In fact, many right-of-center commentators and journalists at that time, even many who now are on the correct side of the issue, who now have done heroic work since having the scales lifted from their eyes, nevertheless, in those days, they were not on our side.
