The Daily Wire's Decline

The Daily Wire has been having some hard times. Layoffs, a CEO stepping down, and losing some major talent. This video looks at the decisions that led to its current situation. In this case, decline is not the same as death, but things don't seem to be going well there. If you are a streamer reacting to this video, please wait at least one week after its upload date, but if you're just using short clips, you can play those right away. Also, please provide a link or some other means of directing people back to this channel.
