During Tuesday’s “Backstage” event on DailyWire+, the show’s stars — Daily
Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro, and
their fellow Daily Wire podcast hosts Candace Owens, Michael Knowles, Matt
Walsh and Andrew Klavan — spoke on a variety of topics, among them Taylor
Swift, Shapiro’s chart-topping rap “Facts,” and the “secret plot” to box
Kamala Harris out of the Democratic nomination.

Boreing began the discussion of Swift by noting how his young daughter made
him aware of the pop star’s “It” factor due to the her hit song “Shake It
Off” being used in the animated movie “Sing.” From there, the hosts launched
into a conversation about Swift and her wide-reaching influence — for good or
ill.

Owens had a particularly strong take on Swift, calling her “the most toxic
feminist that’s ever existed.”

“Obviously, if you’ve seen what she’s even done in business and how she tries
to manipulate her audiences to get out of deals and contracts, she’s totally
insane,” said Owens.

When Walsh noted that such a description was significant, Owens elaborated,
explaining the pop star’s relationship to her fans, her battle with music
executive Scooter Braun, and the woman from whom Swift said she “learned”
feminism.

The hit rap song “Facts,” by Tom MacDonald and featuring Ben Shapiro, also
came up during the wide-ranging event, as Billboard recently revealed that it
had become the number one purchased rap single.

Boreing began by noting the song’s massive popularity, and asked Shapiro if
he actually penned the lyrics to the section of the song he rapped. Shapiro
explained the role he played in writing the rap, and noted that the original
version had even more deep cuts about economics.

Klavan took a moment during the show to offer some advice to men in our
culture — at the prompting of Boreing — saying that one must begin with
oneself.

“Who am I? What do I want? What am I doing here? Where am I going?” a man
must ask himself, said the bestselling author. “A guy who doesn’t understand
that about himself isn’t going anywhere.”

The host went on to say that this generation is in a moment of massive
change, and it’s the moment when men must live speaking out the truth, or
“we’re done for.”

we're done for." – @andrewklavan speaks directly to men

When the issue of marriage came up, Walsh spoke about the problem of divorce,
and how the alleged rate of marriages that end in failure is misleading.

If “basic things” are done to help fortify the marriage, he argued, such as
spending time together, being religious, practicing honesty with one another,
one’s chances of divorce are significantly smaller.

While the hosts largely kept their discussions about broader cultural and
political topics, they all took a moment to react to news that broke during
the broadcast that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had been impeached by the
House of Representatives.

Knowles presented the case for impeaching Mayorkas by describing him as being
“criminally negligent” in his handling of immigration laws, while Boreing
asserted, “Well, they should impeach Joe Biden for the exact same thing then,
because he’s Mayorkas’ boss.”

Prompted by Boreing, Shapiro addressed questions about his past assertions
that he “does not give a damn about the browning of America.”

Shapiro said in response that he does not “care about the race” of
immigrants, rather he cares about the ideology of those who are migrating to
the United States — a sentiment that flies in the face of how the Left
portrays the Right as as supposedly troubled by changing racial demographics.
The Left, Shapiro said, also cares more about ideology despite their
pandering to the racial grievance crowd.

for commenting a couple of times over the years that you don't give
a damn about the browning of America. What do you mean by that?"

Walsh also spoke about immigration and sovereignty, noting that we have to
“have a much greater sense of our own history” in order to defend ourselves
from the Left’s accusations of colonialism.

“Europeans taking over the continent is one of the great things that’s
happened in human history,” Shapiro responded. “Without America, this globe
is doomed to be a hellscape.”

As President Joe Biden’s health continues to make news, in response to a
viewer question, the hosts discussed the Left’s plans regarding Vice
President Kamala Harris.

Boreing speculated that the Left has a plan in place to get rid of Harris by
paying her off, noting that simply replacing her with someone like California
Governor Gavin Newsom would upend their hold on the Democratic base.

“Right now there is a move afoot to have her step down as vice president and
to pay her a five year, $100 million deal to run a foundation for the next
five years. So she should make $20 million a year,” said Boreing. “That’s
because they know that there is the possibility that Joe Biden won’t be able
to run for president … And they know how deeply unpopular she is.”
