Hey, it's Jeremy Boren, co-CEO and God King of The Daily Wire.
00:00:40.880
Do you remember one year ago today when Harry's Razors dropped their ads on The Daily Wire because,
00:00:45.280
well, because we had the audacity to disagree with them on a political issue?
00:00:50.920
Well, corporations cancel their advertisements on conservative shows and platforms all the time.
00:01:01.620
They want conservatives to buy their goods and services, but they also want to virtue signal
00:01:05.780
to the woke mob and their 23-year-old employees by publicly repudiating those same conservative customers.
00:01:14.340
I remember every time one of these cowardly companies betrays us.
00:01:19.740
They know our politics before they advertise with us.
00:01:26.300
They want that audience to buy their goods and services.
00:01:29.580
We go out of our way to make absolutely sure they know what we're about before they get
00:01:34.140
And they get into business with us anyway because it works.
00:01:37.540
They're happy that we leverage our personal credibility to tell our audience about their
00:01:43.140
But then at the first sign of trouble, in the case of Harry's Razors, it was an attack from
00:01:47.880
a Twitter account with two, yes, two followers online.
00:01:51.560
Well, then they not only pull their sponsorships, but they publicly attack us and the very audience
00:01:57.800
Harry said our views, in this case, the very common view that gender dysphoria is a mental
00:02:14.440
They said it publicly, showing the whole world how pure they are, of course, but also signaling
00:02:19.280
to all of our other advertisers that the only excusable thing to do would be to also cancel
00:02:25.000
See, that makes it a direct attack on our business and a direct attack on our audience, too.
00:02:31.660
Well, what conservatives have been doing for years is lose.
00:02:35.340
We're supposed to take the L. We're supposed to get a little poorer.
00:02:52.060
Stand up to the censorious left, we shout, by sending us your money.
00:02:55.240
And what you get for your money is, well, more losing and more bitching and more begging.
00:03:03.900
As far as actual action, at most, we might rally for a good old-fashioned boycott.
00:03:08.420
Boycotts, of course, cost the offending company in question virtually nothing, and they're
00:03:14.480
Because in the end, we still need those products.
00:03:17.340
Nike may endorse Colin Kaepernick, but we still need good shoes.
00:03:21.220
Hollywood may sucker punch us every time we turn on the TV, but we still need good entertainment.
00:03:25.800
Harry's may call us inexcusable, but you still need a good shave.
00:03:34.020
And I want to have a frickin' good time doing it, because losing?
00:03:39.260
That's why today, The Daily Wire is launching Jeremy's Razors, a direct competitor to Harry's,
00:03:44.400
where people with inexcusable values like mine can get a great razor without having
00:03:48.700
to give their money to people who clearly hate them.
00:03:51.120
It's why The Daily Wire launched its own film company last year, so people, again,
00:03:55.240
with inexcusable values like mine, can get great entertainment without giving their money
00:04:01.280
It's why The Daily Wire is in the podcasting business, and the news business, and the commentary
00:04:11.280
We don't make our money by complaining and begging.
00:04:14.080
We make our money by building value and selling it to people who think it's worth buying.
00:04:21.400
The left is happy to bifurcate the culture, to rip it in two.
00:04:24.920
They're convinced they'll pay no economic price for this, because they know what I know.
00:04:31.440
So in order to win, we have to rip the economy in two.
00:04:35.300
We have to give conservatives their own companies.
00:04:37.600
We have to give conservatives their own products to buy.
00:04:39.640
We have to build actual market alternatives that, in success, will force the left to take
00:04:45.720
real losses if they don't compete for our business.
00:04:57.240
It certainly won't work perfectly, this being the real world and all.
00:05:03.120
And what doesn't work is the non-profit right losing its way to higher and higher donations
00:05:08.520
from a smaller and smaller conservative movement that still has to actually spend its real money
00:05:13.100
paying the left for all of its goods and services.
00:05:21.180
And competition means building a future, not just lamenting the loss of the past.
00:05:25.920
It means fighting in the economy and culture, not just complaining about the loss of the
00:05:31.600
It means starting for-profit companies that create actual economic incentives for better
00:05:43.440
If you want a better future, you have to build it.
00:05:46.420
And if you want a better shave, well, we're going to build that for you.
