Flux, Feuds, and Fox News: The Daily Wire Exodus Nobody Saw Coming

In partnership with

By Donald Shapiro, CanAmerica News

Well, folks, if you can say “Daily Wire” five times fast without accidentally naming a fired host, you deserve a cookie. Grab your favorite facts and logic (hopefully gluten free), because the online conservative juggernaut just tripped right over its own subscription model, leaving a trail of broken contracts, bruised egos, and more plot twists than a Ben Shapiro debate with a leftist vegan. Now let’s hear from our sponsor:

Let’s break it all down in plain English—yes, even your lib uncle who thinks “co-founder” is a sandwich could understand this one.

Candace Owens: From Queen of Clapbacks to Out-the-Backdoor

Candace Owens, once the face of viral takedowns and the loudest voice at the Daily Wire dinner table (second only to Ben’s dramatic sipping), finally took one hot take too far. After months of sparring with the bossman Ben Shapiro over the Israel-Gaza conflict, Candace decided to up the ante, dunking so hard on Israel that she was awarded “Antisemite of the Year” faster than you can say “bad optics.” She pushed conspiracy theories about Jewish influence, downplayed Nazi atrocities, and basically ensured she wouldn’t be winning any Hanukkah trivia nights for the rest of her career.

Calls to "cancel Candace" didn’t just come from her critics, they came from her own boss. Ben Shapiro, looking more stressed than ever, reportedly told her on social media, “You’re out!” (Paraphrasing, but you get the vibe.) To her credit, Candace is still out there, giving interviews to anyone willing to nod while she talks about “being a victim…again.”

Brett Cooper: The Comments Section We Actually Read

Then comes Brett “Gen Z’s Favorite Big Sister” Cooper, whose YouTube show The Comments Section was the only reason half of the under-30 crowd could spell “Daily Wire.” In true corporate fashion, the network tried to swap her out for her own producer (seriously), and then wondered why views dropped like Ben’s head when he loses a debate. Brett, not one for being replaced by a faceless “team player,” took her takes and her TikTok savvy straight to Fox News, where, rumor has it, she was hired to attract people who still remember Vine.

But she didn’t stop there. Oh no—Brett launched her own YouTube channel (The Brett Cooper Show), which skyrocketed faster than a Daily Wire lawyer drafting a non-compete clause. Millions now tune in weekly to hear her opinions on everything from pop culture to politics, all without corporate interference or required Shapiro cameos.

The Men in Charge: If You Can Keep Track, Congratulations

While all this was happening, the Daily Wire’s co-founders seemed to be playing a game of “CEO Musical Chairs.” Jeremy Boreing, the “Hollywood Dreamer” behind some…um, ambitious TV projects, stepped down as co-CEO, focusing on filming millions of dollars worth of elf battles or dragon swordfights or something. That left Caleb Robinson as sole CEO.

To make things spicier, Jeopardy! producer-turned-network-boss Mike Richards stepped in as the new president. Yes, that Jeopardy! guy. Makes perfect sense unless you look at it for more than five seconds.

Of course, with all these new faces and high-level departures, The Daily Wire laid off a bunch of staff. Was it creative cost-cutting or just cleaning up after too many “creative projects”? We’ll let the commenters decide.

The Takeaway: When Conservatism Becomes Survivor

So what have we learned? First, if you want to stay famous in conservative media, don’t get replaced by your own producer. Second, controversial takes can make you internet famous—or just make YOU an internet controversy.
