Well, it's taken a cultural shift and that's been driven by a lot of investigative work. And as you mentioned, we have to note that The Daily Wire, while certainly not alone in exposing this, often took the lead in several key ways. And I'd like to highlight a few of those moments. It's a pretty long list, so just bear with me here. Sure. Mm-hmm.

Then, as many of our listeners might remember, our 2021 investigation into the alleged cover-up by Loudoun County Public Schools of a boy wearing a skirt sexually assaulting a ninth-grade girl in a girl's bathroom alarmed parents and became a flashpoint in the national discussion. Matt Walsh has also been a major voice on this as well.

He starred in the Daily Wire documentary, What is a Woman?, which really galvanized the criticism of gender ideology.

Right. This proved to be a crucial campaign issue that drew a lot of support for Trump. The trend of males encroaching on women's sports often came up. And that's something we've also highlighted on this show, where female athletes have been seriously injured by trans-identifying male players or lost out on victories or felt violated sharing a locker room with male teammates.

So again, we weren't alone, but The Daily Wire has approached this as an urgent issue that has needed to be exposed for what it is. And the tide appears to have turned now.

While there's still broad support, about 57% of Americans support legalizing recreational marijuana as of March of this year, and only 1 in 10 say it should not be legal at all, even for medical purposes.
