When we created The Daily Wire, we didn’t do it just to get into politics; we launched this company so that we could have a marked influence on the culture of America. So when we saw what was happening with Disney, the most influential children's brand on the planet, we knew we couldn’t sit still. We immediately got to work, and announced a commitment of $100M over 3 years to launch a children's entertainment company. Just this past week, we realized the launch of that commitment, and we call it Bentkey. I was joined by my Daily Wire co founder Jeremy Boreing to talk about our journey to get here, and what we hope to achieve with our company in the future.
