00:01:35.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:39.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:40.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:41.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:43.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:48.000 Turning point USA.

00:01:49.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:58.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:01.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:02:06.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.

00:02:13.000 With the Russian invasion of Ukraine and with the not very smart person who wants to be on the U.S. Supreme Court, it's very easy to kind of keep your eyes off of what we just lived through the last couple of years.

00:02:27.000 But we have to continue to demand justice.

00:02:31.000 And with that, trying to find out what exactly happened the last couple years with the vaccines, with lockdowns.

00:02:38.000 What does the data actually show?

00:02:39.000 Now, we've been through this many different times, but there's more and more data that's kind of trickling out that is exposing the vaccine, exposing everything we've lived through the last couple of years.

00:02:53.000 NationalReview.com, more than more Americans 65 and under died from alcohol-related causes than COVID-19.

00:03:04.000 Alcohol-related deaths increased 25% from 2019 to 2020, with alcohol-related deaths among adults younger than 65 outnumbering deaths from COVID-19 in the same age group.

00:03:15.000 So let me just first say this.

00:03:18.000 Morally, no problem if you drink, whatever.

00:03:23.000 But I do say drinking's not good for you.

00:03:25.000 There's very little upside to drinking.

00:03:27.000 I don't like people that drink too much.

00:03:29.000 I think that it really, I've seen it impact lives negatively.

00:03:32.000 This is a thought crime.

00:03:33.000 I couldn't care less, especially in politics.

00:03:35.000 There's a lot of drunks in politics. 1.00

00:03:37.000 But I say this all the time.

00:03:39.000 I say alcohol is a killer.

00:03:41.000 People roll their eyes.

00:03:42.000 The way that we have kind of become socially accepting of what alcohol is in the country.

00:03:47.000 Again, if you drink, no problem.

00:03:48.000 I'm not saying you're a bad person.

00:03:49.000 Like, fine, do it in moderation, I guess.

00:03:51.000 But it's technically poison.

00:03:53.000 It destroys your body.

00:03:54.000 It does.

00:03:54.000 Again, I'm not trying to say you're a bad person or anything.

00:03:56.000 I don't like doing that sort of moralistic stuff, but it's a killer.

00:03:58.000 It is.

00:03:59.000 I've seen it destroy lives.

00:04:01.000 I have.

00:04:01.000 And the way that we kind of just kind of normalize it has been very fascinating in more ways than one.

00:04:07.000 And look, I'm not saying the Bible says you should not drink.

00:04:09.000 That's not true.

00:04:12.000 In the Bible, you are, I believe, there's different interpretations.

00:04:16.000 I believe a very moderate intake of alcohol is biblical.

00:04:19.000 I choose not to intake it.

00:04:21.000 That's just my own personal decision.

00:04:23.000 How I'm able to keep the pace I keep.

00:04:26.000 But it does warn against drunkenness.

00:04:28.000 It says the man who drinks forgets the law.

00:04:32.000 There are dozens of warnings against drinking in the Bible.

00:04:36.000 Dozens.

00:04:38.000 So here's this story that says more Americans 65 and under die from alcohol-related causes than COVID-19 in 2020.

00:04:46.000 And so I would just like to challenge young people out there that might be unhappy or they might not be hitting the goals they want to hit, which is: can you take 30 days outside of alcohol?

00:04:56.000 I guarantee you'll sleep better, you'll eat better, you'll definitely lose weight, you'll be a happier person.

00:05:04.000 Just something to consider.

00:05:06.000 Because the studies actually show that the thing that we should have locked down is we should have locked down our liquor stores.

00:05:13.000 That we shouldn't have locked down our schools, especially for young people.

00:05:17.000 We shouldn't have locked down people in their apartment buildings.

00:05:21.000 We should have put the National Guard in front of liquor stores. 0.99

00:05:24.000 Now, I'm kidding, of course.

00:05:25.000 I'm saying if it was all about saving lives, that's what this study shows.

00:05:29.000 So let's dive deeper.

00:05:33.000 Alcohol-related deaths increased 25% from 2019 to 2020, with alcohol-related deaths among adults younger than 65 outnumbering deaths from COVID-19 in the same age group in 2020.

00:05:45.000 A new study finds.

00:05:46.000 Alcohol-related deaths, including from liver disease and accidents, increased to 99,017 in 2020, up from 78,927 the year prior.

00:05:57.000 So let's just say this again: that alcohol-related deaths, including liver disease and accidents, nearly 100,000 people a year die from that, not to mention 100,000 from drug overdoses.

00:06:09.000 Now, why did alcohol-related deaths go up from 78,927 to 99,000?

00:06:16.000 It went up by over 20,000 because you lock down all of society.

00:06:19.000 People are going to try to find something to do with their time.

00:06:22.000 And unfortunately, drinking culture prevailed.

00:06:25.000 While 74,408 Americans ages 16 to 64 died of alcohol-related causes, 74,075 individuals under 65 died of COVID-19, the study found.

00:06:35.000 The rate of increase of alcohol-related deaths in 2020, 25%, was greater than the rate of increase of deaths from all causes.

00:06:42.000 The study shows just another unintended consequence of COVID-19 lockdowns and mitigation measures.

00:06:48.000 And so I just want to kind of introduce a little bit of a contrarian take here, which is those of you that are adults that were super into lockdowns and vaccines and masks, did you tell young people in your life to stop drinking?

00:07:07.000 Because if you didn't, you weren't being consistent.

00:07:09.000 The data shows that, actually.

00:07:11.000 The data shows that a student in your life under 65, a 45-year-old, a 55-year-old, was more likely to die of something related to alcohol than related to the Chinese coronavirus.

00:07:25.000 Now, of course, alcohol kind of gets a pass.

00:07:27.000 It's kind of baked into our culture, isn't it?

00:07:31.000 People overdrink as kind of part of kind of a societal norm.

00:07:35.000 It's a release for a lot of people.

00:07:37.000 But the biochemistry of alcohol is really bad for you in more ways than one.

00:07:43.000 It's a depressant.

00:07:44.000 It's one of the few drugs out there that is widely available that requires constant intake to actually have you continue the buzz.

00:07:53.000 It tapers off after 15 minutes, if you will.

00:07:56.000 And so if you are not consistently having an intake of the drug alcohol, then you're going to lose the feeling.

00:08:07.000 You're going to get to actually a more depressed state.

00:08:09.000 That's why people have to keep on drinking to keep that state going. 0.99

00:08:15.000 The lockdowns were actually lockdowns on virtuous activities.

00:08:19.000 So not only were the lockdowns bad, the lockdowns were the worst mistake we've done in modern history.

00:08:24.000 We argued against it.

00:08:25.000 Of course, we weren't taken seriously because we're not senators or congressmen or whatever.

00:08:30.000 Our leaders were too busy wearing masks or doing whatever they do.

00:08:33.000 But so we locked down churches.

00:08:36.000 We locked down gymnasiums.

00:08:39.000 We locked down businesses.

00:08:41.000 We locked down schools.

00:08:44.000 Yet we kept open strip clubs, liquor stores, weed dispensaries, video games, and online pornography.

00:08:50.000 So we locked down things that would allow people to become better versions of themselves.

00:08:56.000 We locked down things that allow people to go on a journey of self-improvement.

00:09:02.000 We locked down things that allow people to have the liberty to flourish.

00:09:06.000 But we open up things that, by definition, do not create better human beings. 0.70

00:09:11.000 I had that trans porn person here, and we had a discussion with that individual.

00:09:17.000 And basically, the trans porn person, Buck Angel, and that debate will come out soon.

00:09:25.000 We had this debate back and forth.

00:09:27.000 Basically said that there's nothing wrong with strip clubs, liquor stores, weed dispensaries, or any of these things if you just kind of do it in moderation.

00:09:38.000 It's no different than if you work out too much at the gym, which of course, we find that to be preposterous.

00:09:44.000 We know these things are chemically addictive.

00:09:46.000 We also think they are deteriorating for an individual and a society.

00:09:50.000 In fact, it's the business model to try to have you get hooked on them and try to destroy the soul of the human being.

00:09:58.000 They numb us.

00:09:59.000 They do not heighten our state of awareness.

00:10:02.000 They do not sharpen you as a person.

00:10:05.000 Again, you can make whatever lifestyle choice you want.

00:10:08.000 I can just say this.

00:10:09.000 One of the things that Tucker Carlson and I have in common is we do not drink.

00:10:13.000 Not to say that I've never drank.

00:10:15.000 That's a completely different thing.

00:10:16.000 Tucker drank in his life as well.

00:10:18.000 But it's very hard to perform at the highest level in anything you do when you intentionally make decisions that actually might make you more prone to error.

00:10:28.000 And maybe people can do that and they're just maybe better at it than I am.

00:10:31.000 But when you go 18 or 20 hours a day and you have to travel the country and speak and do radio programs and raise money and manage people, you want to try to control the variables, if you will.

00:10:43.000 And so I can guarantee you this, that if you just take alcohol out of your life for a short period of time, your life will improve in at least a couple ways.

00:10:51.000 I can guarantee you'll lose weight.

00:10:53.000 I guarantee that you'll be a happier person.

00:10:56.000 And if not, then there might be other things that you might have to address.

00:11:02.000 But the study is so incredibly stunning.

00:11:05.000 More Americans 65 and under died from alcohol-related causes than COVID-19.

00:11:11.000 I never heard anyone saying that we had to confiscate alcohol, that we had to lock down the liquor stores and all this.

00:11:18.000 I'm not even saying we should ban alcohol.

00:11:20.000 There's people that say this.

00:11:21.000 I mean, we can go into actually the truth about prohibition, which is actually a mistold part of American history, but I'm not even recommending it.

00:11:28.000 I'm not suggesting it.

00:11:29.000 I'm simply saying challenge yourself to become a better version of yourself.

00:11:34.000 Try to flourish.

00:11:36.000 And alcohol might be getting in the way.

00:11:40.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:11:42.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.

00:11:45.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:11:47.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:11:52.000 That can do it getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:11:57.000 They are on a mission.

00:11:58.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:12:00.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:12:06.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:12:07.000 So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.

00:12:36.000 So, speaking of things that might be damaging to you, young kid children are being taught by this person.

00:12:41.000 Watch closely.

00:12:42.000 Cut 43. 0.93

00:12:44.000 So I'm not allowed to be out as trans non-binary at school.

00:12:49.000 Do not come up in my comments saying that I am allowed because I'm not. 0.98

00:12:52.000 I live in Louisiana and it sucks here. 1.00

00:12:55.000 So, of course, my response to this is to be as obnoxiously queer as possible. 1.00

00:13:02.000 So I've got my rainbow hair with leopard print. 1.00

00:13:06.000 I've got my rainbow glasses.

00:13:08.000 Sometimes I wear pens too with various rainbow things on them.

00:13:13.000 I don't have any today.

00:13:13.000 I just have my COVID sticker.

00:13:15.000 I wear things that do not match at all.

00:13:18.000 Basically, my goal is to look like a unicorn through me up.

00:13:24.000 If I can't do that, what's the point?

00:13:27.000 You know, it's so funny.

00:13:28.000 I was going to describe for our podcast listeners that this individual looks like unicorn vomit, but they did it for me.

00:13:35.000 So that was really helpful. 0.89

00:13:37.000 Okay, Cut 44: fourth-grade teacher comes out as trans to her students. 1.00

00:13:42.000 Be careful when you send your kid to public school. 0.97

00:13:45.000 Be careful, parents.

00:13:46.000 Please play Cut 44. 1.00

00:13:48.000 Kids coming out as trans. 1.00

00:13:50.000 It's a teacher that's kind of not a guy and not a girl, like somewhere in between. 0.77

00:13:55.000 Oh, you're kind of boy, you're kind of girl.

00:13:58.000 Kind of, yeah.

00:13:58.000 Yeah.

00:13:59.000 You too, that's me.

00:14:00.000 Okay, right on. 0.99

00:14:01.000 I want to be a boy, but I don't like being a girl. 1.00

00:14:03.000 You know what?

00:14:04.000 Every, you know, you have choices in this world to be all sorts of different things.

00:14:08.000 But that's why it's MX.

00:14:10.000 So Mix Chavez. 1.00

00:14:12.000 That's where that comes from.

00:14:13.000 I know some of you were a little confused.

00:14:14.000 Some of you came and talked to me about it.

00:14:18.000 Some people do identify that way.

00:14:19.000 I'm actually trans, so I'm not a tomboy.

00:14:22.000 I'm trans.

00:14:23.000 But some people do, and I'm sure if they wanted to, they could also go by mix in their classroom.

00:14:30.000 Okay, so let's just take a step back.

00:14:32.000 Okay, so first of all, there's a bunch of fourth-grade students of a teacher who is coming out to her class as trans.

00:14:40.000 The kids are kind of confused.

00:14:42.000 And then one kid is like, oh, maybe I want to be trans.

00:14:45.000 So don't give me this nonsense.

00:14:47.000 Like, oh, yeah, all of them already believe in trans. 0.96

00:14:49.000 No, this is a recruitment strategy.

00:14:52.000 Kids that age, they follow the crowd, they follow leaders.

00:14:55.000 So their teacher is going through all this.

00:14:57.000 And then, can I just point out the most obvious point?

00:14:59.000 Why is this teacher filming this?

00:15:02.000 It's like really weird.

00:15:04.000 So it's like one thing to go do it and to go tell the kids.

00:15:10.000 And then it's like, I'm going to film it.

00:15:11.000 And I know some people say, well, it's because she's proud and she wants to be TikTok famous.

00:15:15.000 But it's like, okay, that's such like an insanely bizarre complex.

00:15:26.000 And someone said to me, they said, well, they live in a bubble where they think this is beautiful.

00:15:32.000 I mean, I think it's so degenerate. 0.56

00:15:34.000 And I think it's ugly.

00:15:35.000 I really do.

00:15:36.000 I think it's the opposite of beauty to try to convince young people and glamorize the fourth graders where she's like, oh, I can answer questions about this. 0.99

00:15:44.000 I'm kind of in between.

00:15:45.000 I'm not a tomboy.

00:15:47.000 What parents are okay with this? 0.72

00:15:51.000 And then TikTok props up this nonsense to weaken American institutions, which of course is a Chinese military propaganda operation.

00:16:04.000 So we get some feedback every so often at freedom at charliekirk.com about the trans issue.

00:16:11.000 I'd say 95% of the feedback is very positive, 5% is not.

00:16:16.000 Now, part of the 5% of the feedback that isn't so positive are people that say, Charlie, can you just move on from this topic?

00:16:22.000 Like, it's not that big of a deal.

00:16:25.000 And I get that temptation.

00:16:27.000 I mean, I don't want to talk about the trans issue every single day.

00:16:31.000 But I'm also a little bit more, let's say, battle-hardened to know better that this is the fight that we have to wage right now. 0.96

00:16:40.000 There is no moving on from it.

00:16:42.000 They're doing this to fourth graders.

00:16:43.000 Remember, it started with Jenner on Vanity Fair.

00:16:47.000 Started with Jenner on Vanity Fair, that we had to accept that.

00:16:50.000 We kind of thought it was weird, whatever.

00:16:51.000 Now it goes to force pronouns.

00:16:54.000 Then it goes to propagandizing young children.

00:16:57.000 So there was a poll that was done, typical politico, where they say Americans are split over Florida's controversial bills on gender, identity, and race.

00:17:08.000 And I thought to myself, there's no way they're actually split.

00:17:11.000 I said, that's not the country I live in.

00:17:13.000 And so I decided to actually look at the poll itself.

00:17:16.000 It's a very long poll, lots of pages here.

00:17:19.000 And so it shows that 51% of Americans are in support of the bill and 32% are against.

00:17:26.000 That's not split.

00:17:27.000 That's a blowout.

00:17:30.000 51% to 32%.

00:17:32.000 That's an overwhelming margin of people that want the quote, don't say gay bill, which is actually an anti-predatory transgender grooming bill.

00:17:44.000 What does that say for the type of people that were graduating from our educational institutions as well?

00:17:49.000 Here's the takeaway.

00:17:50.000 Parents, if you do not have control, not just input, but control over your beautiful child's education, they might be preyed upon by all these malevolent forces.

00:18:05.000 Look, did you get hit with a big tax bill you were not expecting with rates still being very low and home equity being high?

00:18:12.000 It's the perfect time to refinance and get some cash out of your home.

00:18:15.000 Look, you could go to one of these woke banks, Citibank, Chase, where they hate you, they hate the country, and they hate Christianity.

00:18:23.000 Or you could refinance right now all of your mortgage needs with my friends.

00:18:27.000 Guess what?

00:19:12.000 That's AndrewandTodd.com.

00:19:16.000 I have been waiting for this interview all day, and so it's going to be exciting.

00:19:20.000 I've known Jeremy Boring for a while.

00:19:22.000 In fact, Jeremy offered me a job way back when.

00:19:24.000 I can say that about very few guests, actually.

00:19:28.000 Jeremy is the God king behind Daily Wire at DailyWire.com and they're phenomenal.

00:19:34.000 Ben, Candace, Matt, Michael Knowles, and many others do a wonderful job at dailywire.com.

00:19:40.000 And I just love this story because this is the ultimate way to push back against kind of the petty corporate garbage that we are seeing.

00:19:49.000 I'm going to let Jeremy explain it for us.

00:19:51.000 Jeremy, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:19:53.000 Oh, thanks for having me on.

00:19:54.000 It is true I offered you a job and you turned me down.

00:19:56.000 It's also true that I spent the next five years telling everyone, one day we'll all work for Charlie Kirk.

00:20:01.000 So see how far you've come, brother.

00:20:04.000 Yeah, well, well, thank you.

00:20:05.000 And we're not there yet, I guess.

00:20:07.000 But I will buy your razor, that's for sure.

00:20:10.000 So tell us about this.

00:20:12.000 I think the whole thing's hilarious and brilliant and exactly how we need to respond to these weak corporations.

00:20:18.000 Yeah, well, it all started exactly one year ago when a Twitter account with two followers, two, tweeted at Harry's Razors and pointed out to them that the conservative hosts at the Daily Wire have conservative points of view.

00:20:30.000 And that was shocking to Harry's Razors.

00:20:33.000 It had never once occurred to them that the people they were paying to reach a conservative audience may actually say conservative things. 0.91

00:20:38.000 And so they pulled their money off of our shows.

00:20:40.000 They'd spent about $80,000 with us up until that point.

00:20:43.000 They canceled an additional $80,000 worth of advertising.

00:20:47.000 Now, that didn't bother me.

00:20:49.000 Listen, I'm a market guy.

00:20:51.000 I believe that businesses have the right to make decisions about how they want to spend their money.

00:20:55.000 I think our advertisers, within the bounds of a contract, of course, can pull their money for any reason.

00:21:00.000 Maybe they're not making as much money as they thought.

00:21:02.000 The ads aren't as effective as they thought.

00:21:04.000 Maybe they're going through a bad economic time internally.

00:21:06.000 Maybe they don't like the cut of our jib.

00:21:08.000 Maybe they don't like our politics.

00:21:09.000 All of that is just fine.

00:21:11.000 But here's the part that I do have a problem with.

00:21:14.000 And that's when they feel like they have to virtue signal publicly and attack us, their partners in that project, and our audience, the people they were paying us to tell that they should buy their product. 0.93

00:21:27.000 And Harry's Razors did exactly that. 0.68

00:21:29.000 They went on Twitter and said that our views, in this case, that gender dysphoria is historically a mental illness, that that is hate speech.

00:21:37.000 Their exact term on Twitter was that it was inexcusable and represented values misalignment.

00:21:42.000 And look, that's an attack on my business, right?

00:21:45.000 Because by making that statement, they're essentially telling other advertisers that the only excusable thing to do would be to also pull their advertising from our network.

00:21:54.000 So again, if you want to take your ad money, that's your business.

00:21:57.000 If you want to now attack us, your former partners, if you want to attack our audience, I'm just not going to stand for it.

00:22:02.000 We don't have to.

00:22:03.000 It's not like the old days where we're all beholden to linear networks.

00:22:07.000 We have large audiences on a sort of pay-per-view type of scheme with podcasting and the shows that we produce at the Daily Wire.

00:22:15.000 So I thought, you know, I'm going to have the exact same number of people listening to me tell them that Harry's doesn't want their business as I had yesterday telling them that Harry's is a great product.

00:22:24.000 And Harry's is a great product. 0.99

00:22:25.000 They're just assholes, is all. 0.99

00:22:27.000 So I knew on that day, we have to start our own razor company. 1.00

00:22:30.000 It's not enough to lead a boycott, which is temporary and ineffectual.

00:22:34.000 Yes.

00:22:34.000 Because it's temporary and ineffectual because we still need razors.

00:22:38.000 Boycotting Nike over Colin Kaepernick doesn't do anything because we still need shoes.

00:22:42.000 Boycotting Disney over their leftist sucker punches in their programming doesn't do anything because we still need good entertainment.

00:22:48.000 This is the problem.

00:22:49.000 Conservatism in my lifetime has spent a lot of energy complaining, a lot of energy criticizing the culture, but very little energy constructively building in culture.

00:23:01.000 And I think that's what we're trying to do at Daily Wire that's a little bit different.

00:23:04.000 So I thought this is a great opportunity.

00:23:05.000 Let's just launch a razor company.

00:23:07.000 And who better to name it after than a guy who hasn't shaved in 17 years?

00:23:11.000 Well, what I find so funny about this whole thing, which is Harry's, it's not like they're a sunglass company or, you know, like Fedora's.

00:23:19.000 You'd think that like they would acknowledge that men are men.

00:23:22.000 Like, I mean, it's kind of their main constituency, right?

00:23:26.000 It's their constituency.

00:23:27.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:23:28.000 I mean, that's what's so shocking about it.

00:23:31.000 And they accuse you guys of hating all this.

00:23:33.000 And so what I love about this, though, is the entrepreneurial angle, right?

00:23:36.000 Because it's, you're right.

00:23:37.000 Boycotts are easy.

00:23:38.000 We do them all the time.

00:23:39.000 I tell people to try to buy products that they align with.

00:23:43.000 But I mean, without getting too deep into the weeds, like you're now starting a new business, right?

00:23:48.000 So you do podcasts, you guys do feature-length films, and you do razors.

00:23:51.000 So you guys are standing this whole thing up.

00:23:54.000 So it's out of principle, but I think you're going to do very well on the business side of it.

00:23:57.000 And by the way, it's ihateharrys.com.

00:24:00.000 Just for everyone.

00:24:01.000 Over to ihateharries.com to buy your razor.

00:24:03.000 So tell us about it.

00:24:03.000 I mean, it would have been very, this is not easy, right?

00:24:05.000 You probably had to learn more about the razor margins of production than you probably ever thought you would, right?

00:24:11.000 Yeah, look, today we're kind of the dog who caught the car, right?

00:24:15.000 We launched it.

00:24:16.000 We were serious from the beginning.

00:24:17.000 You know, we sourced razors.

00:24:19.000 We came up with a mix for shaving cream and post-shaving balm.

00:24:23.000 You know, we created all the packaging.

00:24:24.000 I mean, it's a lengthy process.

00:24:26.000 It's why it took us a year to actually get to the launch stage.

00:24:29.000 Even so, as with any new venture, you're not sure it's going to work.

00:24:33.000 So what was the most important to us was this commercial that we released, the Jeremy's Razor commercial, because that was going to make a statement about the Daily Wire.

00:24:40.000 And the statement was important to me.

00:24:42.000 A, that we're doing something constructive, that we're doing something entrepreneurial, that we believe in the future, that we want to be a part of building the future, that we're not afraid to fight, and that we're having fun while we're doing it.

00:24:52.000 Because again, I think that's a place where conservatives sometimes miss out.

00:24:56.000 I feel very privileged to be in the fight that we're in.

00:24:58.000 I know things seem bad all around us.

00:25:00.000 It's a fallen world.

00:25:01.000 Things don't typically go our way.

00:25:03.000 But what a privilege that we get to actually fight for our values every day, that we get to do the work that you and I and Ben and many of our colleagues get to do.

00:25:10.000 I have fun doing it, and I wanted that to come across in this commercial too.

00:25:14.000 And what I told my team is if we accidentally sell some razors, that will just make the joke even funnier.

00:25:20.000 And we sold a bunch of razors yesterday.

00:25:22.000 So to your point, we now have a razor company and we're rapidly moving to make sure that it's here to stay.

00:25:30.000 We're looking for great people who have logistics and fulfillment backgrounds and trying to figure out how to make this a competitive product going forward.

00:25:38.000 But again, for me, the statement yesterday or before yesterday, the statement was more important to me than selling razors.

00:25:44.000 Today, suddenly I'm very concerned with selling razors.

00:25:47.000 Well, and what I love again is like now Harry's has to have like a crisis meeting of like, how much business are we losing to this side project?

00:25:57.000 And then I could just hear like the woke HR person that went to Brown like, don't worry, like it won't cut into our margins, but like this could actually be really big.

00:26:05.000 I want to play a cut of the commercial.

00:26:07.000 I watched it twice.

00:26:08.000 I mean, it was just like kind of hard to process.

00:26:10.000 It was like visual overlord, overload.

00:26:13.000 And by the way, you were kind of like, you know, God king on the throne.

00:26:16.000 The whole thing was kind of overwhelming.

00:26:18.000 I want to play just the short snippet of it here for our audience.

00:26:20.000 PlayCut 87.

00:26:22.000 And I want to be clear that shaving with a Jeremy's Razor won't actually make you look more like me.

00:26:27.000 You're giving me fierce.

00:26:28.000 You're giving me power.

00:26:30.000 Could make you look more like this guy, though. 0.91

00:26:35.000 And that's the most homoerotic moment you'll ever get from a Jeremy's Razor commercial. 0.98

00:26:41.000 Right now, you're probably wondering if this whole thing is a joke. 0.59

00:26:45.000 Sure, it is.

00:26:47.000 That doesn't mean it isn't real or that it won't be the best shave of your life.

00:26:50.000 Harry's Razors doesn't want your business.

00:26:53.000 I do.

00:26:54.000 They seem to hate you.

00:26:55.000 And I, well, I can't say that I love you, but I don't mean you any specific harm.

00:27:04.000 I mean, it just goes on from there.

00:27:06.000 Flamethrowers, the whole thing, the Game of Thrones thrown.

00:27:09.000 I mean, what I love, though, is the self-deprecation of it.

00:27:12.000 And also, you could just see the Harry's like marketing team screaming at their computer while the video's play.

00:27:19.000 Yeah, good luck, guys.

00:27:20.000 And the point of the commercial is don't give your money to woke corporations who hate you.

00:27:24.000 Give it to me.

00:27:25.000 I don't hate you.

00:27:26.000 And this is, you know, it is part of an actual strategy.

00:27:29.000 I know it seems very goofy.

00:27:30.000 You watch the commercial.

00:27:31.000 It's so over the top.

00:27:32.000 It's so absurd.

00:27:33.000 Of course, to your point, it is self-deprecating in the sense that I'm playing the worst version of myself, right?

00:27:39.000 I'm aware of the fact that I'm doing that, but it is part of a strategy.

00:27:42.000 And the strategy is this, that I think that the left believes that they can bifurcate the culture with no economic consequences.

00:27:49.000 And I believe that what conservatives need to be doing is bifurcating the economy as well, creating market incentives for the left in the attempt to change their behavior.

00:27:56.000 Market incentives are the strongest incentives that there are.

00:28:00.000 I want a day to come where these corporations have to actually compete for our business again instead of taking for granted that they can treat us like second-class citizens and still depend on us to fund them because we still need their goods and services.

00:28:12.000 We shouldn't have to depend on them for goods and services.

00:28:15.000 I actually believe this isn't a short-term unity project, right?

00:28:19.000 This is a very divisive thing that I'm doing.

00:28:21.000 But I actually do believe that it has more chances of succeeding at giving us a future reunification as a country than many of the other things that we've tried because I really do believe that only making them compete for our business.

00:28:34.000 Listen, I think the institutions between us and the state, corporate America being perhaps second only to the states, the most important one in terms of how people's actual day-to-day lives function.

00:28:44.000 You have to create consequences for them for becoming the mouthpieces of the state, and you have to create an incentive for them to treat us better in the future.

00:28:53.000 Again, not a short-term project.

00:28:55.000 I think this is a 40-year undertaking that we're talking about to reorient the country.

00:28:59.000 But I think that you're not going to accomplish that if we don't actually put some economic might behind it.

00:29:05.000 Well, and also, you know, Jeremy, you articulated this well, which is actually having a positive competitor, that really is a tangible way to hurt their bottom line, right?

00:29:15.000 So, where, you know, with Harry's, I could say for myself, when I do a boycott, I forget all the stuff I'm boycotting.

00:29:21.000 I can't keep track of all of it, right?

00:29:23.000 So it's like, you know, I have the coffee boycott, I have the airline boycott, but then I got to get to Cleveland, so I got to like put that one on the side, and then I got the NBA boycott, but I kind of want to watch the finals.

00:29:33.000 You got on saying where it's like, but now all of a sudden you'll be able to be like, you know what, Harry's actually, we did $15 million in sales and none of that went to you.

00:29:40.000 Like that's a real cost to them.

00:29:41.000 That's measurable.

00:29:42.000 Talk about how you think this will reunify us in the end.

00:29:45.000 I found that to be really interesting.

00:29:47.000 Yeah, well, again, I don't think it's going to reunify anybody tomorrow.

00:29:49.000 I think a lot of the things that we're talking about, I'm specifically calling for us to further bifurcate the economy as a response to the left bifurcating the culture, you know, to in some ways rip it asunder.

00:30:00.000 But while that is a destructive act, it's also constructive, right?

00:30:03.000 We're building something.

00:30:05.000 We're building, and what we're building ultimately is economic incentive.

00:30:08.000 Do I think that I can beat all the razor companies in the world?

00:30:11.000 I mean, maybe we beat Harry's.

00:30:13.000 Maybe we take a lot of points off the board for them.

00:30:16.000 But, you know, there's Dollar Shave, there's Gillette, there's Shick, there's a lot of Razor companies, but most of them are pretty woke as well.

00:30:23.000 The left owns all of the institutions.

00:30:25.000 That's really where I'm going.

00:30:26.000 Right now today, they've infiltrated the family, they've infiltrated the church, they've infiltrated all the corporations, all the media companies, they've infiltrated the deep state, the government.

00:30:37.000 We know all of this.

00:30:38.000 By creating alternatives, the first thing that you do is further divide us.

00:30:43.000 But over time, if those alternatives are successful, you have created incentive for reunification because, again, they can no longer simply take for granted that they can mistreat us and still cash our checks.

00:30:57.000 I will think it's very funny if two years from now I come on here and tell you that I'm now a Razor magnate and I have 2 million Razor subscribers.

00:31:06.000 We'll both have a good laugh about that.

00:31:07.000 I'll laugh harder because I will be much richer.

00:31:09.000 Yes.

00:31:11.000 But that's only one, but that's only one step on a journey.

00:31:14.000 The real journey isn't the day that Harry's realizes that we beat them at something. 0.94

00:31:19.000 The real victory comes on the day that Harry says, maybe we shouldn't put out this woke garbage.

00:31:24.000 Maybe we actually need to compete for the business of those people that we've formerly been besmirching.

00:31:32.000 That's what I want.

00:31:32.000 I want them to actually have to come back and try to get our business again.

00:31:36.000 I want the government to have to come back and try to get our business again, try to get our trust again.

00:31:40.000 I want the media.

00:31:41.000 This is what the Daily Wire does with news.

00:31:42.000 It's what we do with entertainment.

00:31:43.000 It's what we're doing with razors.

00:31:45.000 I hate Harry's.com.

00:31:47.000 I just purchased their $60 founders kit proudly to deprive the beast and make Jeremy rich.

00:31:53.000 Yeah, we want reunification.

00:31:55.000 I want to live in a country where a two-follower Twitter account can't derail an ad contract for a conservative media company for something that's non-controversial, right?

00:32:03.000 I don't want to live in that country, and you shouldn't either, right?

00:32:06.000 And by the way, it's always something uncontroversial.

00:32:08.000 I mean, you're dealing with it on Twitter right now, right?

00:32:10.000 You're not banned for saying something that only 5% of Nazis believe.

00:32:15.000 You're banned on Twitter right now for saying something that the vast majority of Americans currently believe.

00:32:20.000 That's right.

00:32:20.000 And the overwhelming majority of all human beings in all of human history have believed.

00:32:25.000 That's what is suddenly defined as hate speech.

00:32:27.000 That's what, by the way, the people who are banning you all believed the exact same thing 15 years ago.

00:32:34.000 That's right.

00:32:35.000 Because no one believed anything else 15 years ago other than that men are men and that women are women.

00:32:41.000 So it is, it's not just that these are our beliefs.

00:32:43.000 It's not even just that they're true.

00:32:45.000 It's that they are substantially, definitionally mainstream beliefs.

00:32:51.000 We're being penalized for believing what everyone actually thinks.

00:32:56.000 Even if we were to posit that it's possible that we're wrong on the issue of transgenderism, I don't see how we possibly could be.

00:33:03.000 But politics, it's not my obviously, I think that I'm right about everything that I think, but I'm also certain that I'm wrong about some of the things that I think.

00:33:11.000 But who gets to make this decision that things that are beliefs that are held by the vast majority of everyone are suddenly no longer fit for public discourse?

00:33:21.000 How can you redefine gender?

00:33:23.000 How can you redefine marriage?

00:33:24.000 How can you change the actual definitions of reality and not subject that to public debate?

00:33:31.000 It's absolute insanity that we're living, Carol.

00:33:34.000 So, in closing here, Jeremy, some of our audience is cynical, and you can't blame them because they're up against huge forces.

00:33:40.000 You mentioned Disney and all this.

00:33:41.000 How do we slay the Leviathan?

00:33:43.000 I mean, this is part of it, right?

00:33:45.000 But what's the attitude?

00:33:46.000 What does success look like?

00:33:47.000 I mean, you say 40 years.

00:33:49.000 I agree.

00:33:50.000 I say that to some of our supporters and some of our donors and our listeners.

00:33:53.000 They don't like to hear that because some people know they might not see us get to the promised land.

00:34:00.000 Well, I think two things.

00:34:01.000 One, you have to change your outlook.

00:34:03.000 When I say 40 years, I don't mean 40 years to get some victories.

00:34:06.000 I just mean 40 years for the pendulum to swing.

00:34:09.000 But how do you do it?

00:34:10.000 You do it one step at a time.

00:34:11.000 And the main thing, if I could leave anybody with just one message, it would be make me richer and buy my razors, IhateHarry.com.

00:34:17.000 But if I could leave you with two messages, it would be buy my razors that ihateharry.com and enjoy the fight.

00:34:22.000 We should be privileged.

00:34:23.000 This is the time that God gave us.

00:34:25.000 We're not supposed to spend our lives lamenting a past that, by the way, it was not as though the past was perfect. 0.94

00:34:30.000 1950 was great and all, unless you were black and couldn't drink at a water fountain. 0.98

00:34:34.000 We can build a better future by looking to the values that worked in the past, using them as a foundation to build something constructive in the future. 0.95

00:34:43.000 If we aren't doing that, Charlie, we deserve to lose because what we're essentially saying is that we're the former heavyweight champ who got lazy in success, stopped competing, and doesn't deserve to win fights anymore.

00:34:56.000 I don't think that's who we are.

00:34:58.000 I think we still have the best ideas.

00:34:59.000 I think we still have the best values.

00:35:01.000 I think we just have to get back in fighting shape and get out there and throw some punches.

00:35:05.000 It's well said.

00:35:06.000 IhateHarry's.com from the wonderful DailyWire.com.

00:35:09.000 They are phenomenal and they are changing the way conservative media is published and spreads online despite all this nonsense happening on Twitter and stuff.

00:35:19.000 It's really promising to see this.

00:35:20.000 Everyone, go buy the founders kit.

00:35:22.000 I have ihateharrys.com.

00:35:24.000 And Jeremy, so now I'm going to expect all sorts of stuff out of you.

00:35:26.000 I'm going to expect all sorts of different types of products, not just razors.

00:35:30.000 You got to have a whole, we got to have soft drinks.

00:35:32.000 You're already doing the Disney thing.

00:35:34.000 You got to be all over the place.

00:35:35.000 So razors is just the first.

00:35:36.000 Thanks so much, Jeremy.

00:35:37.000 We got to run.

00:35:38.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:35:39.000 IhateHarry's.com.

00:35:41.000 Okay, everyone, email us your thoughts.

00:35:42.000 As always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:35:44.000 I just love that story because it's not about complaining.

00:35:48.000 It's not negative.

00:35:49.000 It is inherently positive.

00:35:50.000 It's hard to build things, it's hard to start new products.

00:35:54.000 And it's by definition what makes us American.

00:35:58.000 We look for solutions, not just the negative energy.

00:36:01.000 So I was really pleased to see that.

00:36:03.000 And I just could just see the woke people at Harry's Razors, whatever company that is.

00:36:07.000 Never heard of them, getting pretty upset.

00:36:10.000 Okay.

00:36:10.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:36:11.000 Email me directly, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:36:14.000 Thank you so much for listening.

00:36:15.000 God bless.
