Daily Wire personalities took the stage in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, capping off a schedule of high-powered conservative speakers during the first full day of the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

During their panel, Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan, along with Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing, celebrated the momentous start to the second Trump administration and revealed their favorite accomplishments in President Donald Trump’s first 30 days in office.

From obliterating radical gender ideology to making a mockery of the legacy media, the Trump administration has been firing on all cylinders, the Daily Wire hosts said.

Knowles began by praising the Trump administration for pardoning both the January 6 defendants, along with the nearly two dozen pro-life activists targeted by the Biden administration.

“These are American heroes, these are deeply virtuous people, they were trampled on by their government — and Donald Trump rectified a major, major wrong. He deserves a lot of credit for it,” Knowles said of the pro-lifers.

Walsh then told the crowd his favorite thing about the new Trump administration is “basically the end of the trans agenda, of gender ideology in this country.”

“The fight continues because the people that advocate for this butchery and this insanity aren’t just going to go away,” Walsh said. “They’re going to find a way to keep victimizing kids, and so the fight will continue in that way, but with Donald Trump in just a few weeks, we’ve got banning men from women’s sports, we have putting an end to child castration in the hospitals, defining sex as man and woman.”

“It’s the beginning of the end of gender ideology in this country,” he added.

Klavan went next, saying “the absolute decimation and destruction of the mainstream media” has “by far” been his “favorite thing about the Trump administration.”

“The moment the results of the election came in, this blanket of peace passed over me because I realized what had happened — that we’d beaten them,” Klavan said. “It couldn’t have happened without Trump. It couldn’t have happened without us, too, and without all the Joe Rogans and the podcasters and small media that grew up suddenly and exposed them for what they were.”

Shapiro praised Trump and his team for exposing the “extraordinary” amount of power that has “aggregated in the executive branch over the course of time.”

The Daily Wire editor emeritus said that for the past 100 years, the Democratic Party pushed for the executive branch of government to be the most powerful. “And then they basically said, Republicans can’t touch it. When we run it, we’ll run it and we’ll put permanent employees in place so that when you run it, you don’t run it,” Shapiro said of the Democrats’ strategy.

“And President Trump came in and he said, ‘No, no, no, you’ve given all this power to the executive branch, guess who’s the president now? It’s me.’”

Boreing said that Trump represents “disruption.”

“And it’s not even necessarily that I agree with every single one of Trump’s disruptions; it’s that I agree with the idea of the disruption itself that Trump represents,” Boreing added. “Because only through disruption do you shake things up from the status quo and create the actual opportunity for change.”
