It's 2025. The Daily Wire is about to turn 10 years old. And yesterday, the President of the United States signed an executive order titled, Protecting Our Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation, which prohibits surgical and chemical mutilation of our children. It is a great day for The Daily Wire.

This order comes on the heels of other critical actions taken by President Trump in just his first week in office, which affirm that the federal government will reform its practices to recognize the scientific and moral reality that there are only two genders, male and female. These actions should bring an immediate and dramatic end to what's been a true period of national disgrace, which I think will be remembered as no less evil than slavery or abortion. And Donald Trump deserves enormous credit for righting this terrible national wrong. For me personally, though, this is also an exciting moment to reflect on what we've accomplished as a company. There are a lot of people in the conservative movement who deserve a lot of credit for this victory, but a lot of the people who deserve the most credit are sitting right here in this room today. We don't often get to tout all of our own accomplishments, modesty being a virtue, but false modesty is a sin.

And to put it bluntly, The Daily Wire has been leading on this issue from the very day that we were founded. I couldn't be more proud of all of our enormous contributions to this issue. We've made enormous contributions to a range of issues, and I'm often proud of the team, but never more so than today. It is rare... in life. I've been in this business for a minute. I've seen a lot of things. It is rare in this life that you get to be a part of a moment like this. And it would be inappropriate for us not to take a moment to reflect on it together as a team and to reflect on it with our audience, with the people who have supported us, with the people who have empowered us by listening to our shows, by sharing our content, by engaging with our advertisers, our advertisers who actually did the advertising, our subscribers who made it possible for us to take some of the stands that we've taken against incredible odds.

I don't think people, sometimes even inside the company and certainly outside, actually realize just how difficult it has been to wage this particular fight and what it means that we've been able to participate in this victory It's a very special thing. We should hold on to it. Like with all of your successes in life, you should hang on to it loosely, but you should hang on to it nonetheless. Nobody has fought harder than we have on this issue. And for that reason, I've never been more proud. And I want to tell you a little bit just in reflection on how it came to be in this moment. Two weeks after the founding of the company, Ben Shapiro went on CNN and did a show with Dr. Drew and Zoe Turr. If those of you don't remember, Zoe Turr is a biological man. Yes.
Jeremy Boreing 3:01
who it's hard to remember him because he's basically disappeared from public life. But he's a biological man who at that time was defending so-called trans rights, which were fairly novel at the time. Most of us had not really engaged with this issue in a major way. And yet there was Ben, 2015, I can't stress enough, two weeks after we started The Daily Wire, and he was debating these issues and he referred to Tur as Sir, which in retrospect was perhaps a little bit more polite than Ben should have been. Tur, though, responded to this by grabbing Ben by the neck and saying, if you say that again, you're going home in an ambulance. It was an amazing moment of television. I mean, here you had a rather large biological man in a dress threatening physical violence if Ben didn't bend the knee to this obvious delusion. And what was the reaction from CNN? Nothing. What was the reaction from Dr. Drew while one of his guests was being threatened on national television for saying a political opinion? Nothing.

And that was the first clue that we had as a company as to what this fight was going to be like.
