A Decade Of Wins, And One Question That Changed Everything

As The Daily Wire approaches its 10th anniversary, it’s the perfect time to celebrate some of our great achievements. No win has defined the last decade of company success quite like Matt Walsh’s hit documentary “What is a Woman?” 

This cultural juggernaut proved that one provocative question has the power to shatter the mainstream narrative and literally change the nation forever.

When “What is a Woman?” premiered on June 1, 2022, the first day of Pride Month back when most companies still celebrated, it launched a revolution. The documentary film featuring a simple question broke Daily Wire streaming records and sparked a national debate. The title became a rallying cry for everyone fed up with the madness of radical left-wing gender theory. 

From the opening scenes, Matt Walsh set out to do exactly what our community knows best: ask a pointed question and refuse to accept a nonsensical answer. The Daily Wire podcast host confronted academics, activists, therapists, and everyday people who struggled to define the word “woman.” The result called into question all those previously taboo “truths” that radicals had been trying to mainstream for years.

The release wasn’t all sunshine and roses. The Daily Wire’s site was hit by a DDoS cyberattack as critics and trolls tried to shut us down before we could even get started. But that backfired. The documentary premiere became the most trafficked live stream in Daily Wire history.

The massive success of “What is a Woman?” was no flash in the pan. One year later, the film exploded again on X when The Daily Wire made it available for free. Viewership skyrocketed once more and even Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk himself jumped in, tweeting “Every parent should watch this.”

Leftists melted down over the impact of the film, but ultimately they were left with nothing but an empty defense of a harmful ideology built on lies and intimidation. Normal citizens who were too afraid to speak up before were suddenly emboldened, and they joined Walsh in a chorus that sounded a lot like standing up for what’s right and true.

And that’s where the real MVPs come in: you. Daily Wire members didn’t just watch “What is a Woman?” – though they did that too. They also shared it, praised it, defended it, and kept streaming it even while the site was struggling to keep up. Your support helped turn that simple question into a movement that eventually became a culture war victory.

Common sense and conservative principles got a major victory through “What is a Woman?” — but the fight against the Left hasn’t stopped. As much as ever before, The Daily Wire is continuing to push back against leftism’s crazy and dangerous ideas. 

Now we’re celebrating ten years of podcasts, news articles, merch, and more, and it’s all thanks to our loyal members. You’re the reason we keep raising the bar. You remind us that asking the tough questions, even when our enemies attack for it, is always worth it. Because the free market of ideas is still free thanks to people like you.

Here’s to a decade down. And a future where one question, one film, and one community at a time, we keep winning. 

We can’t wait to see what the next ten years bring.
