=== Alcohol Deaths Exceed Pandemic Losses (05:14) ===

[00:02:13]  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]  But we have to continue to demand justice.
[00:02:31]  And with that, trying to find out what exactly happened the last couple years with the vaccines, with lockdowns.
[00:02:38]  What does the data actually show?
[00:02:39]  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]  NationalReview.com, more than more Americans 65 and under died from alcohol-related causes than COVID-19.
[00:03:04]  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]  So let me just first say this.
[00:03:18]  Morally, no problem if you drink, whatever.
[00:03:23]  But I do say drinking's not good for you.
[00:03:25]  There's very little upside to drinking.
[00:03:27]  I don't like people that drink too much.
[00:03:29]  I think that it really, I've seen it impact lives negatively.
[00:03:32]  This is a thought crime.
[00:03:33]  I couldn't care less, especially in politics.
[00:03:35]  There's a lot of drunks in politics.
[00:03:37]  But I say this all the time.
[00:03:39]  I say alcohol is a killer.
[00:03:41]  People roll their eyes.
[00:03:42]  The way that we have kind of become socially accepting of what alcohol is in the country.
[00:03:47]  Again, if you drink, no problem.
[00:03:48]  I'm not saying you're a bad person.
[00:03:49]  Like, fine, do it in moderation, I guess.
[00:03:51]  But it's technically poison.
[00:03:53]  It destroys your body.
[00:03:54]  It does.
[00:03:54]  Again, I'm not trying to say you're a bad person or anything.
[00:03:56]  I don't like doing that sort of moralistic stuff, but it's a killer.
[00:03:58]  It is.
[00:03:59]  I've seen it destroy lives.
[00:04:01]  I have.
[00:04:01]  And the way that we kind of just kind of normalize it has been very fascinating in more ways than one.
[00:04:07]  And look, I'm not saying the Bible says you should not drink.
[00:04:09]  That's not true.
[00:04:12]  In the Bible, you are, I believe, there's different interpretations.
[00:04:16]  I believe a very moderate intake of alcohol is biblical.
[00:04:19]  I choose not to intake it.
[00:04:21]  That's just my own personal decision.
[00:04:23]  How I'm able to keep the pace I keep.
[00:04:26]  But it does warn against drunkenness.
[00:04:28]  It says the man who drinks forgets the law.
[00:04:32]  There are dozens of warnings against drinking in the Bible.
[00:04:36]  Dozens.
[00:04:38]  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]  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]  I guarantee you'll sleep better, you'll eat better, you'll definitely lose weight, you'll be a happier person.
[00:05:04]  Just something to consider.
[00:05:06]  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]  That we shouldn't have locked down our schools, especially for young people.
[00:05:17]  We shouldn't have locked down people in their apartment buildings.
[00:05:21]  We should have put the National Guard in front of liquor stores.
[00:05:24]  Now, I'm kidding, of course.
[00:05:25]  I'm saying if it was all about saving lives, that's what this study shows.
[00:05:29]  So let's dive deeper.
[00:05:33]  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]  A new study finds.
[00:05:46]  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]  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]  Now, why did alcohol-related deaths go up from 78,927 to 99,000?
[00:06:16]  It went up by over 20,000 because you lock down all of society.
[00:06:19]  People are going to try to find something to do with their time.
[00:06:22]  And unfortunately, drinking culture prevailed.
[00:06:25]  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]  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]  The study shows just another unintended consequence of COVID-19 lockdowns and mitigation measures.
[00:06:48]  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]  Because if you didn't, you weren't being consistent.
[00:07:09]  The data shows that, actually.
[00:07:11]  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]  Now, of course, alcohol kind of gets a pass.

=== Lockdowns May Have Increased Pain (05:08) ===

[00:07:27]  It's kind of baked into our culture, isn't it?
[00:07:31]  People overdrink as kind of part of kind of a societal norm.
[00:07:35]  It's a release for a lot of people.
[00:07:37]  But the biochemistry of alcohol is really bad for you in more ways than one.
[00:07:43]  It's a depressant.
[00:07:44]  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]  It tapers off after 15 minutes, if you will.
[00:07:56]  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]  You're going to get to actually a more depressed state.
[00:08:09]  That's why people have to keep on drinking to keep that state going.
[00:08:15]  The lockdowns were actually lockdowns on virtuous activities.
[00:08:19]  So not only were the lockdowns bad, the lockdowns were the worst mistake we've done in modern history.
[00:08:24]  We argued against it.
[00:08:25]  Of course, we weren't taken seriously because we're not senators or congressmen or whatever.
[00:08:30]  Our leaders were too busy wearing masks or doing whatever they do.
[00:08:33]  But so we locked down churches.
[00:08:36]  We locked down gymnasiums.
[00:08:39]  We locked down businesses.
[00:08:41]  We locked down schools.
[00:08:44]  Yet we kept open strip clubs, liquor stores, weed dispensaries, video games, and online pornography.
[00:08:50]  So we locked down things that would allow people to become better versions of themselves.
[00:08:56]  We locked down things that allow people to go on a journey of self-improvement.
[00:09:02]  We locked down things that allow people to have the liberty to flourish.
[00:09:06]  But we open up things that, by definition, do not create better human beings.
[00:09:11]  I had that trans porn person here, and we had a discussion with that individual.
[00:09:17]  And basically, the trans porn person, Buck Angel, and that debate will come out soon.
[00:09:25]  We had this debate back and forth.
[00:09:27]  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]  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]  We know these things are chemically addictive.
[00:09:46]  We also think they are deteriorating for an individual and a society.
[00:09:50]  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]  They numb us.
[00:09:59]  They do not heighten our state of awareness.
[00:10:02]  They do not sharpen you as a person.
[00:10:05]  Again, you can make whatever lifestyle choice you want.
[00:10:08]  I can just say this.
[00:10:09]  One of the things that Tucker Carlson and I have in common is we do not drink.
[00:10:13]  Not to say that I've never drank.
[00:10:15]  That's a completely different thing.
[00:10:16]  Tucker drank in his life as well.
[00:10:18]  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]  And maybe people can do that and they're just maybe better at it than I am.
[00:10:31]  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]  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]  I can guarantee you'll lose weight.
[00:10:53]  I guarantee that you'll be a happier person.
[00:10:56]  And if not, then there might be other things that you might have to address.
[00:11:02]  But the study is so incredibly stunning.
[00:11:05]  More Americans 65 and under died from alcohol-related causes than COVID-19.
[00:11:11]  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]  I'm not even saying we should ban alcohol.
[00:11:20]  There's people that say this.
[00:11:21]  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]  I'm not suggesting it.
[00:11:29]  I'm simply saying challenge yourself to become a better version of yourself.
[00:11:34]  Try to flourish.
[00:11:36]  And alcohol might be getting in the way.
[00:11:40]  How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
[00:11:42]  Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
[00:11:45]  And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
[00:11:47]  In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
[00:11:52]  That can do it getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
[00:11:57]  They are on a mission.
[00:11:58]  You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
[00:12:00]  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]  And I believe they'll do it.
[00:12:07]  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.

=== Teacher Feedback On Kid Identity (05:28) ===

[00:12:36]  So, speaking of things that might be damaging to you, young kid children are being taught by this person.
[00:12:41]  Watch closely.
[00:12:42]  Cut 43.
[00:12:44]  So I'm not allowed to be out as trans non-binary at school.
[00:12:49]  Do not come up in my comments saying that I am allowed because I'm not.
[00:12:52]  I live in Louisiana and it sucks here.
[00:12:55]  So, of course, my response to this is to be as obnoxiously queer as possible.
[00:13:02]  So I've got my rainbow hair with leopard print.
[00:13:06]  I've got my rainbow glasses.
[00:13:08]  Sometimes I wear pens too with various rainbow things on them.
[00:13:13]  I don't have any today.
[00:13:13]  I just have my COVID sticker.
[00:13:15]  I wear things that do not match at all.
[00:13:18]  Basically, my goal is to look like a unicorn through me up.
[00:13:24]  If I can't do that, what's the point?
[00:13:27]  You know, it's so funny.
[00:13:28]  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]  So that was really helpful.
[00:13:37]  Okay, Cut 44: fourth-grade teacher comes out as trans to her students.
[00:13:42]  Be careful when you send your kid to public school.
[00:13:45]  Be careful, parents.
[00:13:46]  Please play Cut 44.
[00:13:48]  Kids coming out as trans.
[00:13:50]  It's a teacher that's kind of not a guy and not a girl, like somewhere in between.
[00:13:55]  Oh, you're kind of boy, you're kind of girl.
[00:13:58]  Kind of, yeah.
[00:13:58]  Yeah.
[00:13:59]  You too, that's me.
[00:14:00]  Okay, right on.
[00:14:01]  I want to be a boy, but I don't like being a girl.
[00:14:03]  You know what?
[00:14:04]  Every, you know, you have choices in this world to be all sorts of different things.
[00:14:08]  But that's why it's MX.
[00:14:10]  So Mix Chavez.
[00:14:12]  That's where that comes from.
[00:14:13]  I know some of you were a little confused.
[00:14:14]  Some of you came and talked to me about it.
[00:14:18]  Some people do identify that way.
[00:14:19]  I'm actually trans, so I'm not a tomboy.
[00:14:22]  I'm trans.
[00:14:23]  But some people do, and I'm sure if they wanted to, they could also go by mix in their classroom.
[00:14:30]  Okay, so let's just take a step back.
[00:14:32]  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]  The kids are kind of confused.
[00:14:42]  And then one kid is like, oh, maybe I want to be trans.
[00:14:45]  So don't give me this nonsense.
[00:14:47]  Like, oh, yeah, all of them already believe in trans.
[00:14:49]  No, this is a recruitment strategy.
[00:14:52]  Kids that age, they follow the crowd, they follow leaders.
[00:14:55]  So their teacher is going through all this.
[00:14:57]  And then, can I just point out the most obvious point?
[00:14:59]  Why is this teacher filming this?
[00:15:02]  It's like really weird.
[00:15:04]  So it's like one thing to go do it and to go tell the kids.
[00:15:10]  And then it's like, I'm going to film it.
[00:15:11]  And I know some people say, well, it's because she's proud and she wants to be TikTok famous.
[00:15:15]  But it's like, okay, that's such like an insanely bizarre complex.
[00:15:26]  And someone said to me, they said, well, they live in a bubble where they think this is beautiful.
[00:15:32]  I mean, I think it's so degenerate.
[00:15:34]  And I think it's ugly.
[00:15:35]  I really do.
[00:15:36]  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.
[00:15:44]  I'm kind of in between.
[00:15:45]  I'm not a tomboy.
[00:15:47]  What parents are okay with this?
[00:15:51]  And then TikTok props up this nonsense to weaken American institutions, which of course is a Chinese military propaganda operation.
[00:16:04]  So we get some feedback every so often at freedom at charliekirk.com about the trans issue.
[00:16:11]  I'd say 95% of the feedback is very positive, 5% is not.
[00:16:16]  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]  Like, it's not that big of a deal.
[00:16:25]  And I get that temptation.
[00:16:27]  I mean, I don't want to talk about the trans issue every single day.
[00:16:31]  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.
[00:16:40]  There is no moving on from it.
[00:16:42]  They're doing this to fourth graders.
[00:16:43]  Remember, it started with Jenner on Vanity Fair.
[00:16:47]  Started with Jenner on Vanity Fair, that we had to accept that.
[00:16:50]  We kind of thought it was weird, whatever.
[00:16:51]  Now it goes to force pronouns.
[00:16:54]  Then it goes to propagandizing young children.
[00:16:57]  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]  And I thought to myself, there's no way they're actually split.
[00:17:11]  I said, that's not the country I live in.
[00:17:13]  And so I decided to actually look at the poll itself.
[00:17:16]  It's a very long poll, lots of pages here.
[00:17:19]  And so it shows that 51% of Americans are in support of the bill and 32% are against.
[00:17:26]  That's not split.
[00:17:27]  That's a blowout.
[00:17:30]  51% to 32%.
[00:17:32]  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]  What does that say for the type of people that were graduating from our educational institutions as well?
[00:17:49]  Here's the takeaway.
[00:17:50]  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.

=== Compete For Formerly Besmirched Business (15:16) ===

[00:18:05]  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]  It's the perfect time to refinance and get some cash out of your home.
[00:18:15]  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]  Or you could refinance right now all of your mortgage needs with my friends.
[00:18:27]  Guess what?

[00:19:16]  I have been waiting for this interview all day, and so it's going to be exciting.
[00:19:20]  I've known Jeremy Boring for a while.
[00:19:22]  In fact, Jeremy offered me a job way back when.
[00:19:24]  I can say that about very few guests, actually.
[00:19:28]  Jeremy is the God king behind Daily Wire at DailyWire.com and they're phenomenal.
[00:19:34]  Ben, Candace, Matt, Michael Knowles, and many others do a wonderful job at dailywire.com.
[00:19:40]  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]  I'm going to let Jeremy explain it for us.
[00:19:51]  Jeremy, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:19:53]  Oh, thanks for having me on.
[00:19:54]  It is true I offered you a job and you turned me down.
[00:19:56]  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]  So see how far you've come, brother.
[00:20:04]  Yeah, well, well, thank you.
[00:20:05]  And we're not there yet, I guess.
[00:20:07]  But I will buy your razor, that's for sure.
[00:20:10]  So tell us about this.
[00:20:12]  I think the whole thing's hilarious and brilliant and exactly how we need to respond to these weak corporations.
[00:20:18]  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]  And that was shocking to Harry's Razors.
[00:20:33]  It had never once occurred to them that the people they were paying to reach a conservative audience may actually say conservative things.
[00:20:38]  And so they pulled their money off of our shows.
[00:20:40]  They'd spent about $80,000 with us up until that point.
[00:20:43]  They canceled an additional $80,000 worth of advertising.
[00:20:47]  Now, that didn't bother me.
[00:20:49]  Listen, I'm a market guy.
[00:20:51]  I believe that businesses have the right to make decisions about how they want to spend their money.
[00:20:55]  I think our advertisers, within the bounds of a contract, of course, can pull their money for any reason.
[00:21:00]  Maybe they're not making as much money as they thought.
[00:21:02]  The ads aren't as effective as they thought.
[00:21:04]  Maybe they're going through a bad economic time internally.
[00:21:06]  Maybe they don't like the cut of our jib.
[00:21:08]  Maybe they don't like our politics.
[00:21:09]  All of that is just fine.
[00:21:11]  But here's the part that I do have a problem with.
[00:21:14]  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.
[00:21:27]  And Harry's Razors did exactly that.
[00:21:29]  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]  Their exact term on Twitter was that it was inexcusable and represented values misalignment.
[00:21:42]  And look, that's an attack on my business, right?
[00:21:45]  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]  So again, if you want to take your ad money, that's your business.
[00:21:57]  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]  We don't have to.
[00:22:03]  It's not like the old days where we're all beholden to linear networks.
[00:22:07]  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]  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]  And Harry's is a great product.
[00:22:25]  They're just assholes, is all.
[00:22:27]  So I knew on that day, we have to start our own razor company.
[00:22:30]  It's not enough to lead a boycott, which is temporary and ineffectual.
[00:22:34]  Yes.
[00:22:34]  Because it's temporary and ineffectual because we still need razors.
[00:22:38]  Boycotting Nike over Colin Kaepernick doesn't do anything because we still need shoes.
[00:22:42]  Boycotting Disney over their leftist sucker punches in their programming doesn't do anything because we still need good entertainment.
[00:22:48]  This is the problem.
[00:22:49]  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]  And I think that's what we're trying to do at Daily Wire that's a little bit different.
[00:23:04]  So I thought this is a great opportunity.
[00:23:05]  Let's just launch a razor company.
[00:23:07]  And who better to name it after than a guy who hasn't shaved in 17 years?
[00:23:11]  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]  You'd think that like they would acknowledge that men are men.
[00:23:22]  Like, I mean, it's kind of their main constituency, right?
[00:23:26]  It's their constituency.
[00:23:27]  Yeah, that's right.
[00:23:28]  I mean, that's what's so shocking about it.
[00:23:31]  And they accuse you guys of hating all this.
[00:23:33]  And so what I love about this, though, is the entrepreneurial angle, right?
[00:23:36]  Because it's, you're right.
[00:23:37]  Boycotts are easy.
[00:23:38]  We do them all the time.
[00:23:39]  I tell people to try to buy products that they align with.
[00:23:43]  But I mean, without getting too deep into the weeds, like you're now starting a new business, right?
[00:23:48]  So you do podcasts, you guys do feature-length films, and you do razors.
[00:23:51]  So you guys are standing this whole thing up.
[00:23:54]  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]  And by the way, it's ihateharrys.com.
[00:24:00]  Just for everyone.
[00:24:01]  Over to ihateharries.com to buy your razor.
[00:24:03]  So tell us about it.
[00:24:03]  I mean, it would have been very, this is not easy, right?
[00:24:05]  You probably had to learn more about the razor margins of production than you probably ever thought you would, right?
[00:24:11]  Yeah, look, today we're kind of the dog who caught the car, right?
[00:24:15]  We launched it.
[00:24:16]  We were serious from the beginning.
[00:24:17]  You know, we sourced razors.
[00:24:19]  We came up with a mix for shaving cream and post-shaving balm.
[00:24:23]  You know, we created all the packaging.
[00:24:24]  I mean, it's a lengthy process.
[00:24:26]  It's why it took us a year to actually get to the launch stage.
[00:24:29]  Even so, as with any new venture, you're not sure it's going to work.
[00:24:33]  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]  And the statement was important to me.
[00:24:42]  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]  Because again, I think that's a place where conservatives sometimes miss out.
[00:24:56]  I feel very privileged to be in the fight that we're in.
[00:24:58]  I know things seem bad all around us.
[00:25:00]  It's a fallen world.
[00:25:01]  Things don't typically go our way.
[00:25:03]  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]  I have fun doing it, and I wanted that to come across in this commercial too.
[00:25:14]  And what I told my team is if we accidentally sell some razors, that will just make the joke even funnier.
[00:25:20]  And we sold a bunch of razors yesterday.
[00:25:22]  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]  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]  But again, for me, the statement yesterday or before yesterday, the statement was more important to me than selling razors.
[00:25:44]  Today, suddenly I'm very concerned with selling razors.
[00:25:47]  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]  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]  I want to play a cut of the commercial.
[00:26:07]  I watched it twice.
[00:26:08]  I mean, it was just like kind of hard to process.
[00:26:10]  It was like visual overlord, overload.
[00:26:13]  And by the way, you were kind of like, you know, God king on the throne.
[00:26:16]  The whole thing was kind of overwhelming.
[00:26:18]  I want to play just the short snippet of it here for our audience.
[00:26:20]  PlayCut 87.
[00:26:22]  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]  You're giving me fierce.
[00:26:28]  You're giving me power.
[00:26:30]  Could make you look more like this guy, though.
[00:26:35]  And that's the most homoerotic moment you'll ever get from a Jeremy's Razor commercial.
[00:26:41]  Right now, you're probably wondering if this whole thing is a joke.
[00:26:45]  Sure, it is.
[00:26:47]  That doesn't mean it isn't real or that it won't be the best shave of your life.
[00:26:50]  Harry's Razors doesn't want your business.
[00:26:53]  I do.
[00:26:54]  They seem to hate you.
[00:26:55]  And I, well, I can't say that I love you, but I don't mean you any specific harm.
[00:27:04]  I mean, it just goes on from there.
[00:27:06]  Flamethrowers, the whole thing, the Game of Thrones thrown.
[00:27:09]  I mean, what I love, though, is the self-deprecation of it.
[00:27:12]  And also, you could just see the Harry's like marketing team screaming at their computer while the video's play.
[00:27:19]  Yeah, good luck, guys.
[00:27:20]  And the point of the commercial is don't give your money to woke corporations who hate you.
[00:27:24]  Give it to me.
[00:27:25]  I don't hate you.
[00:27:26]  And this is, you know, it is part of an actual strategy.
[00:27:29]  I know it seems very goofy.
[00:27:30]  You watch the commercial.
[00:27:31]  It's so over the top.
[00:27:32]  It's so absurd.
[00:27:33]  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]  I'm aware of the fact that I'm doing that, but it is part of a strategy.
[00:27:42]  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]  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]  Market incentives are the strongest incentives that there are.
[00:28:00]  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]  We shouldn't have to depend on them for goods and services.
[00:28:15]  I actually believe this isn't a short-term unity project, right?
[00:28:19]  This is a very divisive thing that I'm doing.
[00:28:21]  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]  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]  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]  Again, not a short-term project.
[00:28:55]  I think this is a 40-year undertaking that we're talking about to reorient the country.
[00:28:59]  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]  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]  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]  I can't keep track of all of it, right?
[00:29:23]  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]  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]  Like that's a real cost to them.
[00:29:41]  That's measurable.
[00:29:42]  Talk about how you think this will reunify us in the end.
[00:29:45]  I found that to be really interesting.
[00:29:47]  Yeah, well, again, I don't think it's going to reunify anybody tomorrow.
[00:29:49]  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]  But while that is a destructive act, it's also constructive, right?
[00:30:03]  We're building something.
[00:30:05]  We're building, and what we're building ultimately is economic incentive.
[00:30:08]  Do I think that I can beat all the razor companies in the world?
[00:30:11]  I mean, maybe we beat Harry's.
[00:30:13]  Maybe we take a lot of points off the board for them.
[00:30:16]  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]  The left owns all of the institutions.
[00:30:25]  That's really where I'm going.
[00:30:26]  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]  We know all of this.
[00:30:38]  By creating alternatives, the first thing that you do is further divide us.
[00:30:43]  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]  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]  We'll both have a good laugh about that.
[00:31:07]  I'll laugh harder because I will be much richer.
[00:31:09]  Yes.
[00:31:11]  But that's only one, but that's only one step on a journey.
[00:31:14]  The real journey isn't the day that Harry's realizes that we beat them at something.
[00:31:19]  The real victory comes on the day that Harry says, maybe we shouldn't put out this woke garbage.
[00:31:24]  Maybe we actually need to compete for the business of those people that we've formerly been besmirching.
[00:31:32]  That's what I want.
[00:31:32]  I want them to actually have to come back and try to get our business again.
[00:31:36]  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]  I want the media.
[00:31:41]  This is what the Daily Wire does with news.
[00:31:42]  It's what we do with entertainment.
[00:31:43]  It's what we're doing with razors.
[00:31:45]  I hate Harry's.com.
[00:31:47]  I just purchased their $60 founders kit proudly to deprive the beast and make Jeremy rich.
[00:31:53]  Yeah, we want reunification.
[00:31:55]  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]  I don't want to live in that country, and you shouldn't either, right?
[00:32:06]  And by the way, it's always something uncontroversial.
[00:32:08]  I mean, you're dealing with it on Twitter right now, right?
[00:32:10]  You're not banned for saying something that only 5% of Nazis believe.
[00:32:15]  You're banned on Twitter right now for saying something that the vast majority of Americans currently believe.
[00:32:20]  That's right.
[00:32:20]  And the overwhelming majority of all human beings in all of human history have believed.
[00:32:25]  That's what is suddenly defined as hate speech.
[00:32:27]  That's what, by the way, the people who are banning you all believed the exact same thing 15 years ago.
[00:32:34]  That's right.
[00:32:35]  Because no one believed anything else 15 years ago other than that men are men and that women are women.
[00:32:41]  So it is, it's not just that these are our beliefs.
[00:32:43]  It's not even just that they're true.
[00:32:45]  It's that they are substantially, definitionally mainstream beliefs.
[00:32:51]  We're being penalized for believing what everyone actually thinks.
[00:32:56]  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]  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]  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?

=== Redefine Mainstream Beliefs Today (03:01) ===

[00:33:21]  How can you redefine gender?
[00:33:23]  How can you redefine marriage?
[00:33:24]  How can you change the actual definitions of reality and not subject that to public debate?
[00:33:31]  It's absolute insanity that we're living, Carol.
[00:33:34]  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]  You mentioned Disney and all this.
[00:33:41]  How do we slay the Leviathan?
[00:33:43]  I mean, this is part of it, right?
[00:33:45]  But what's the attitude?
[00:33:46]  What does success look like?
[00:33:47]  I mean, you say 40 years.
[00:33:49]  I agree.
[00:33:50]  I say that to some of our supporters and some of our donors and our listeners.
[00:33:53]  They don't like to hear that because some people know they might not see us get to the promised land.
[00:34:00]  Well, I think two things.
[00:34:01]  One, you have to change your outlook.
[00:34:03]  When I say 40 years, I don't mean 40 years to get some victories.
[00:34:06]  I just mean 40 years for the pendulum to swing.
[00:34:09]  But how do you do it?
[00:34:10]  You do it one step at a time.
[00:34:11]  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]  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]  We should be privileged.
[00:34:23]  This is the time that God gave us.
[00:34:25]  We're not supposed to spend our lives lamenting a past that, by the way, it was not as though the past was perfect.
[00:34:30]  1950 was great and all, unless you were black and couldn't drink at a water fountain.
[00:34:34]  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.
[00:34:43]  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]  I don't think that's who we are.
[00:34:58]  I think we still have the best ideas.
[00:34:59]  I think we still have the best values.
[00:35:01]  I think we just have to get back in fighting shape and get out there and throw some punches.
[00:35:05]  It's well said.
[00:35:06]  IhateHarry's.com from the wonderful DailyWire.com.
[00:35:09]  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]  It's really promising to see this.
[00:35:20]  Everyone, go buy the founders kit.
[00:35:22]  I have ihateharrys.com.
[00:35:24]  And Jeremy, so now I'm going to expect all sorts of stuff out of you.
[00:35:26]  I'm going to expect all sorts of different types of products, not just razors.
[00:35:30]  You got to have a whole, we got to have soft drinks.
[00:35:32]  You're already doing the Disney thing.
[00:35:34]  You got to be all over the place.
[00:35:35]  So razors is just the first.
[00:35:36]  Thanks so much, Jeremy.
[00:35:37]  We got to run.
[00:35:38]  Thanks, Charlie.

[00:35:41]  Okay, everyone, email us your thoughts.
[00:35:42]  As always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:35:44]  I just love that story because it's not about complaining.
[00:35:48]  It's not negative.
[00:35:49]  It is inherently positive.
[00:35:50]  It's hard to build things, it's hard to start new products.
[00:35:54]  And it's by definition what makes us American.
[00:35:58]  We look for solutions, not just the negative energy.
[00:36:01]  So I was really pleased to see that.
[00:36:03]  And I just could just see the woke people at Harry's Razors, whatever company that is.
[00:36:07]  Never heard of them, getting pretty upset.
[00:36:10]  Okay.
[00:36:10]  Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
[00:36:11]  Email me directly, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:36:14]  Thank you so much for listening.
[00:36:15]  God bless.
