Once-unknown singer-songwriter Oliver Anthony has gone viral overnight with his song, “Rich Men North of Richmond,” with many conservatives hailing the song as an anthem for the working man.

Anthony’s song voices many struggles of working-class Americans. The song communicates the pain of being overworked for subpar pay, only to have the money “taxed to no end” and to see others cheat the welfare system.

The full performance was posted to the YouTube Channel RadioWV. In roughly 48 hours, the original video has acquired 1.7 million views on YouTube, as of press time. It has also been viewed over 2.5 million times on X.

In response to the success of the song, Anthony posted to his X account, “Rich Men North of Richmond has been uploaded to all major streaming platforms and will show up there in a few days. Im [sic] still in a state of shock at the outpouring of love I’ve seen in the comments, messages and emails. I’m working to respond to everyone as quickly as possible.”

Perhaps the most notable theme throughout the song is the great chasm between the elites and the average working man. The “rich men north of Richmond” in Washington, D.C., and New York City, among other cities, “don’t think you know” what is right, so “they all just wanna have total control,” Anthony sings. The song makes a very clear reference to Epstein Island when he sings, “I wish politicians would look out for miners, and not just minors on an island somewhere.”

The solemn tone and relatability of the song are underscored by Anthony’s incredible voice being complemented by the acoustics of the surrounding woods and his resonator guitar. He stands just under a deer blind while a few of his dogs lie next to him and listen.

Many prominent conservatives have come out praising the song. Daily Wire host Matt Walsh posted to X, “This is the kind of country music I like.” Walsh shared that he was listening to other songs Anthony has posted, saying, “Happy to report that his other songs are great too. Raw and poetic. The man expresses the pain that many forgotten Americans live with every day.”

Glenn Beck praised the song, saying, “This is the voice of much of America. Oliver Anthony Thank you for your voice.”

Benny Johnson described the song as an “American working-man’s protest song.”

“Rich Men North of Richmond” is the most listened to track in the world in the past 24 hours.

This American working-man’s protest song has millions & millions of plays.

Jack Posobiec recounted his reaction. “Don’t even remember the last time a new song hit me like this,” he said, and then sarcastically adding, “Be a shame if this anthem went absolutely viral.”

Country music star John Rich shared the video with the caption, “VOLUME UP!” The video of the performance was even shared by Joe Rogan and Sean Hannity.

“Haunting sound and commentary on what’s happened to America’s working class,” Fox News’ Laura Ingram said of the song.

Jason Howerton made contact with Oliver Anthony and shared some of Anthony’s story through a thread posted on X. Anthony has struggled with mental health and alcohol in the recent past, Howerton said. Prior to the success of the song, he promised God he would get sober if God would help him pursue his dream, according to Howerton.

Oliver Anthony currently resides with his three dogs in Farmville, Virginia, pursuing an off-the-grid lifestyle on 90 acres of land, according to WhiskeyRiff.

Let’s play a quick, good old-fashioned game of “Would You Rather?” Here are four questions, and then we’ll tell you what your answers mean.

If you answered positively to the former option to any of those questions, then you should buy from Harry’s Razors.

If you answered affirmatively to the latter, then Jeremy’s Razors is for you. Buy here.

As DailyWire+ subscribers well know, Harry’s was a former sponsor with The Daily Wire. In 2021, Harry’s infamously dropped The Daily Wire because best-selling author and Daily Wire podcast host Michael Knowles had the audacity to say that boys are boys and girls are girls. Worse, the company publicly condemned The Daily Wire — which by implication condemned our audience and subscribers.

So, The Daily Wire’s co-founder, Jeremy Boreing, launched Jeremy’s Razors in response. Turns out there’s a strong market for individuals who need a close shave and believe in basic fundamental truths. Not only has the venture been wildly successful, but the razors are awesome.

What has Harry’s done since then? The company has doubled down and then some. For example, in June 2022, Harry’s released a video promoting a woman who apparently has had “top surgery.” That Instagram video was captioned “celebrating my first Pride with facial hair!”

The promotional campaign promised that “100% of profits” from the purchase of the advertised face and body shave kits are donated to the Trevor Project —  a group that supports transgender treatments for minors. Watch for yourself:

But Harry’s descent into their dogmatic belief in wokeism apparently started earlier than that. Videos have surfaced showing that Harry’s Razors’ CEO embraces radical gender ideology  because his company is “socially minded.”

What does that mean exactly? Well, The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh has unearthed Harry’s internal “global strategy” agenda from 2018. The document is called “Painting the World Orange: Positioning Our Way Into a More Progressive Future.”

That document helped shed light on why Harry’s feels such an impetus to link arms with transgender ideology.

“We recognised that rigidly binary gendered constructs were part of the toxic scaffolding we needed to slowly dismantle,” the document said, adding that it hoped to “shift culture significantly.”

So what has The Daily Wire and Jeremy’s Razors been doing? Well, we’ve released “What Is A Woman?” We reported on how bodily mutilation is a “huge money making” opportunity for doctors and insurance companies. The Daily Wire exposed summer camps that would place grown men with children — and much, much more. We’ve also launched an array of shaving kits, soaps, lotions, shampoos, and even traveling cases.

Our co-founder has stayed focused on the one mission that he stated on the day we launched Jeremy’s Razors: “Winning.”

“If we want to win, we have to compete. And competition means building a future — not just lamenting the loss of the past,” Boreing said in March 2022. “It means fighting in the economy and culture — not just complaining about the loss of the economy and culture. It means starting for-profit companies that create actual economic incentives for better behavior. That’s what animates me. That’s what drives The Daily Wire. That’s the real fight.”

“If you want a better future, you have to build it and if you want a better shave, well we’re going to build that for you,” he added.

So, after reading all that, we will ask you one last “Would You Rather?” question.

Would you rather buy from Harry’s or Jeremy’s Razors? We think we know the answer.
