Not every company kicks off in a converted garage and expands into one of America’s fastest-growing conservative media outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment - but then again, no other company is the Daily Wire. Built from the ground up by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing, the Daily Wire started as a side gig and morphed into a political news and commentary powerhouse in just 7 short years. Now, the Daily Wire is producing entertainment content, investigative journalism, multiple chart-topping podcasts, and - you guessed it - some fire memes.
And we’re not stopping there. Our team is constantly moving, innovating and growing. We adapt to any and all obstacles with a team of creative geniuses that are all aligned in creating unparalleled content that provides a voice for facts and for freedom. We don't just echo whatever’s trending - we set trends.
