=== Vaccine Rates Explained (03:46) ===

[00:03:25]  Irish County with 99.7% vaccination rate has highest COVID case rate, according to Daniel Horowitz.
[00:03:33]  With 99.7% of adults in the Irish county of Waterford having received the COVID shots, they have the highest per capita rates of COVID anywhere in the country.
[00:03:44]  Are they now going to suggest it's the fault of the 0.3%?
[00:03:48]  The Irish Times reported last week that one Waterford City District had at a 14-day incidence rate of 1,486 cases per 100,000 of the population.
[00:03:58]  Let me just stop and say, Daniel Horowitz, who's been a guest on our show, I would have Daniel on our show once a week if I could.
[00:04:04]  He is one of the smartest people.
[00:04:05]  He's courageous.
[00:04:08]  He's the only person, I shouldn't say that.
[00:04:11]  There's like a couple dozen.
[00:04:12]  That's about it.
[00:04:13]  But he's one of the few people that's actually talking about this story.
[00:04:17]  And if you follow conservative people in the media and they refuse to talk about these types of issues, you got a problem.
[00:04:24]  Daniel Horowitz continues by saying Waterford has the highest incidence rate of anywhere in Ireland.
[00:04:30]  The COVID rate is three times the national average, which in itself has been increasing steadily in recent weeks.
[00:04:35]  Despite 91% of Irish adults being vaccinated, Waterford says, quote, Waterford has the highest rate of vaccination in the country, with 99.7% of adults over the age of 18 fully vaccinated.
[00:04:47]  The county has gone from having one of the lowest rates of COVID-19 infection in Ireland to one of the highest.
[00:04:54]  According to our world and data, most Irish began to get vaccinated in April and May, which is exactly when we saw a reversal of fortunes.
[00:05:04]  So what else happened?
[00:05:05]  They had an increase in COVID cases.
[00:05:07]  And it's not just mild cases.
[00:05:09]  Ireland has the highest number of people in the hospital with COVID since March, and the trajectory is getting worse.
[00:05:16]  This is with the highest vaccination rate in the EU, over 90% of those over 16.
[00:05:22]  How many more pieces of evidence do we need?
[00:05:24]  How about Singapore?
[00:05:25]  After vaccinating over 85% of its population, Singapore has the highest rates that they've had.
[00:05:34]  How about Israel?
[00:05:36]  At what point are people going to accept a conversation and say, well, is this helping?
[00:05:43]  Now, it's not a matter of if you want to believe it.
[00:05:47]  The question is, is it true?
[00:05:49]  Yeah, this is an inconvenient pattern of information.
[00:05:55]  It is an inconvenient truth.
[00:05:57]  I get it.
[00:05:58]  It would be easier if it was like the measles mumps rebella polio vaccine and you get it and move on.
[00:06:05]  But this incredibly compelling body of information and growing, it's not exactly easy to all of a sudden say, huh, when we started to massively vaccinate people, rates go up.
[00:06:23]  Daniel Horowitz calls this a leaky vaccine.
[00:06:29]  He continues by saying, 70% of deaths in the United Kingdom are people that are fully vaccinated, fully vaccinated.
[00:06:40]  And meanwhile, you have Scandinavian countries that are pulling the vaccine for children.
[00:06:49]  Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland have now said we are no longer going to be administering the vaccine for people under the age of 30.
[00:07:00]  So a very good question is, what data are the Scandinavian countries looking at that our leaders are not looking at?

=== Scandinavia Pulls Vaccines (05:04) ===

[00:07:11]  Are they dealing with a different set of circumstances?
[00:07:13]  Of course not.
[00:07:14]  They're dealing with human beings and they're dealing with the very same vaccine.
[00:07:18]  Yet why is it that the Scandinavian countries are now repeatedly pulling the vaccine?
[00:07:27]  Iceland becomes fifth European country to halt the COVID-19 vaccine.
[00:07:32]  Iceland.
[00:07:34]  Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting the COVID-19 vaccine.
[00:07:39]  Sweden and Denmark pause the distribution for the COVID-19 vaccine.
[00:07:47]  The Swedish Total Population Cohort Study shows the following.
[00:07:52]  That protection from infection below 50% after four months if you get the vaccine, no protection measurable after seven months, if that's Pfizer.
[00:07:59]  The Swedish study shows that AstraZeneca wanes faster, even becomes negative, and protection against severe outcome only after 40% after six months.
[00:08:10]  Alex Berenson, who has been completely censored and suppressed, if you type in Denmark high vaccination rate, people were celebrating that's the case.
[00:08:22]  And then all of a sudden, did you realize and notice that their COVID rates go up?
[00:08:29]  Denmark Health Minister says light down likely because of high vaccination rates.
[00:08:35]  Alex Berenson is one of the few people that's actually saying, wait a second, this could be contributing, not preventing the actual spread of the virus.
[00:08:45]  Someone just emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:08:48]  Are these people ignoring the efficacy of ivermectin?
[00:08:50]  Of course they are.
[00:08:51]  That's been their entire campaign.
[00:08:54]  Part of the entire strategy is to try and ignore any sort of treatments that might be helpful, that might be cheap and effective.
[00:09:09]  I want to play a tape here of a guest that was on Joe Rogan.
[00:09:14]  Do we have that tape?
[00:09:16]  No, we don't.
[00:09:18]  The tape about the ivermectin.
[00:09:21]  If you can get that, that'd be great of how allegedly members of Congress are taking it.
[00:09:25]  Okay, yeah, let's go to CUT 66.
[00:09:27]  That's fine.
[00:09:28]  Cut 66.
[00:09:30]  There's some suspicion, and it's not confirmed yet, that over 200 members of Congress have been treated with ivermectin.
[00:09:38]  This is on Joe Rogan's show, play Cut 66.
[00:09:40]  I mean, it should be no surprise.
[00:09:41]  I had Dr. Pierre Corey, who is one of the doctors from the frontline critical COVID care group, that has been treating people, including, by the way, 200 Congresspeople have been treated with ivermectin for COVID.
[00:09:55]  Did you know that?
[00:09:55]  They did not know that.
[00:09:56]  Holy crap.
[00:09:57]  Google that.
[00:09:58]  200 members of Congress.
[00:10:01]  This is according to Dr. Pierre Corey.
[00:10:04]  The media is saying that's not true, but I've heard this from multiple sources now.
[00:10:08]  So why is it that members of Congress get to use ivermectin, but you have to be told it's a horse dewormer?
[00:10:13]  Go to the hospital, sit down and shut up to the overwhelmed hospitals, by the way, and get on a ventilator and hope someone checks in on you.
[00:10:22]  This also ties to one of the stories that we talked about last week.
[00:10:26]  And almost no one wants to talk about this story, but it's really important.
[00:10:32]  And I'm not saying that we know why this is happening, but we need to talk about it.
[00:10:41]  Overall death rates are going up for people under the age of 50 in America.
[00:10:46]  National Public Radio did an entire story on this, where they basically say the shocking rise of deaths across America.
[00:10:53]  I wonder why people are dying.
[00:10:54]  And not just from COVID.
[00:10:55]  It's not COVID, by the way.
[00:10:56]  NPR admits it is not because of COVID.
[00:10:59]  They just say death rates are going up.
[00:11:02]  Why is there not a deliberate campaign to get to the bottom of this immediately?
[00:11:06]  One of the most important stories happening in America.
[00:11:09]  That death rates just go up and we're supposed to take that?
[00:11:11]  Like, oh, yeah, it's just perfectly normal.
[00:11:15]  Hospitals are being overrun, but they're not being overrun by COVID patients.
[00:11:19]  They're being overrun by people that are having heart issues, myocarditis, people that are just having general health complications.
[00:11:29]  And you're not allowed to talk about any of this, according to the activist press.
[00:11:32]  You're not allowed to even ask the next question.
[00:11:35]  But when it comes to treatment, Dr. Pierre Corey says they treated over 200 members of Congress at ivermectin.
[00:11:43]  So let me get this straight.
[00:11:44]  Congress exempts itself from the vaccine mandate.
[00:11:47]  Congress exempts itself from Obamacare.
[00:11:50]  Congress exempts itself also from the propaganda campaign of horse de-wormer, and that comes down to it, which is if Republicans take back the chambers of Congress, they should have Dr. Fauci do a drug test.
[00:12:08]  They should have Dr. Fauci administer a urine sample to find out if Dr. Fauci's been taking hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

=== Good Ranchers Promo (03:12) ===

[00:12:16]  It's only fair.
[00:12:18]  Dr. Fauci and every member of Congress should have to submit to a drug test to find out who in Congress has been taking effective antivirals.
[00:12:29]  We need to know what leaders are taking hydroxychloroquine before we give the vaccine to a five-year-old.
[00:12:37]  I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.
[00:12:40]  You can stop imagining because it's a reality.
[00:12:43]  Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down completely.
[00:12:48]  Why?
[00:12:49]  Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve.
[00:12:53]  That's why Good Ranchers is here.
[00:12:55]  They exist to support local American farms and help you make great American meals.

[00:13:16]  Do not buy foreign meat.
[00:13:17]  Did you know the product of USA TAG has been stolen by foreign countries that hate us?
[00:13:22]  They process their meat here and they label it like it came from America.
[00:13:26]  Because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat, over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.
[00:13:35]  Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the farmers that worked to raise the meat that we enjoy.

[00:14:22]  I mean, the least we could do is to say, hey, you're a member of Congress.
[00:14:26]  You're pushing forced vaccinations on your constituents.
[00:14:29]  Why don't you show the country that you haven't been taking horse dewormer?
[00:14:32]  Come on, step on up to the plate, Nancy Pelosi.
[00:14:35]  Come on.
[00:14:37]  Let's just make sure that you are doing what you say you're going to do.
[00:14:40]  It's the least we could do.
[00:14:43]  Meanwhile, constituents are being forced to go into overcrowded hospitals, be put on ventilators where there is mixed data of whether or not ventilators even help.
[00:14:51]  In fact, there's some data that shows that ventilators hurt.
[00:14:53]  I'm not going to make a blanket statement and say that they hurt everybody, but there's evidence to show that they are not the treatment that people think they are.
[00:15:02]  And yet doctors who prescribe ivermectin and prescribe these anti-malarials, antivirals, they could lose their license.
[00:15:09]  I said this at our campus stop with Turning Point USA, and I'll say this again.
[00:15:14]  That the suppression of a conversation around ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, which is just a ZPAC, aspirin, and monoclonal antibodies, what I call the big five.

=== The Big Five Drugs (02:38) ===

[00:15:29]  All of you need to know about the big five.
[00:15:30]  By the way, I'm not saying you should take it.
[00:15:32]  I'm not saying that it's right for you, but the fact you are not even aware about the big five is remarkable to me.
[00:15:41]  The big five, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, zithromycin, monoclonal antibodies, aspirin.
[00:15:50]  And if I had to add a big six into it, vitamin D and zinc.
[00:15:54]  But those five right there.
[00:15:56]  You are not allowed to talk about those things on digital social media.
[00:15:59]  Tech companies collude with the NIH, CDC, and Pfizer clamp you down.
[00:16:03]  You're not allowed to talk about this on most television shows.
[00:16:07]  This segment might offend you because it's a mom reading about what children are learning in public school.
[00:16:14]  If your child is in public school, you better read all the curriculum and all the books that they're being exposed to.
[00:16:18]  Now, here's what's amazing.
[00:16:20]  This mom goes to a school board meeting.
[00:16:22]  She reads from the child pornography book because that's what children are being taught.
[00:16:26]  Her mic is caught off.
[00:16:28]  Her mic gets cut off.
[00:16:31]  And the district goes after the mom for reading inappropriate material that 10-year-olds are learning.
[00:16:37]  Parents, you got to shift gears.
[00:16:39]  You got to get out of cruise control.
[00:16:42]  This is an extraordinary video.
[00:16:44]  PlayCut 76.
[00:16:46]  Take her out back, we boys figured, then hand on the put it in her coin box, put it in her cornhole, grab a hold of that braid, rub that calico.
[00:16:55]  You can find that on page 39 of the book called Out of Darkness, which you can find at Hudson Bend Middle School and Bee Cave Middle School.
[00:17:04]  All right, not gonna lie, I had to Google Cornhole because I have the game in the back of my yard.
[00:17:09]  But according to Wikipedia, Cornhole is a sexualist slang vulgarism for anus.
[00:17:16]  I do not want my children to learn about anal sex in middle school.
[00:17:21]  You are supposed to be educating our children.
[00:17:25]  Do not teach them about anal sex.
[00:17:28]  They cut off her mic.
[00:17:29]  That's Lake Travis right outside of Austin, Texas.
[00:17:33]  And they go after her for reading the actual material that children are learning.
[00:17:39]  Another tweet by Christopher Ruffo.
[00:17:41]  This tweet is so graphic.
[00:17:42]  I don't even know.
[00:17:43]  I'll be very honest with all of you.
[00:17:44]  I don't know how I'm going to read this tweet.
[00:17:48]  I don't know.
[00:17:49]  So this is Keller ISD, a Texas school board, where legitimate visual pornography, a felony offense, is in one of the libraries.
[00:17:58]  I can't even look at these images.
[00:17:59]  It's so disgusting.
[00:18:01]  And it's two men literally having sex and they're giving it to 11-year-olds.

=== Texas School Board Porn (15:08) ===

[00:18:07]  I can't believe the tweet is still up, to be perfectly honest.
[00:18:11]  I can't even read what it says in here.
[00:18:13]  People would email us in such record numbers.
[00:18:17]  How do I describe this, Connor?
[00:18:18]  Is there even a way to walk through this?
[00:18:20]  I don't even.
[00:18:21]  Let's just say it's the most graphic images and material of two men that are having sex given to 10-year-olds.
[00:18:30]  Literally the image is right there.
[00:18:32]  And Christopher Ruffo tweeted it out alongside Libs of TikTok, which is quite a Twitter account, I got to tell you.
[00:18:40]  Yeah, you could just go to charliekirk.com, go to our Twitter to see it.
[00:18:44]  It's so bad, everybody.
[00:18:46]  I don't want to cause a car accident for all of you listening on the radio.
[00:18:51]  Parents, your kids are being targeted by forces of darkness.
[00:18:58]  It's long past time to do something about it.
[00:19:00]  And grandparents, don't sit idly by.
[00:19:03]  You will lose your kids and your grandkids, and they will not share your values unless you do something.
[00:19:10]  Everybody, look, there are shortages all over the place.
[00:19:13]  We are running out of stuff quickly.
[00:19:15]  It's scary out there.
[00:19:16]  We can't get fish sticks anymore, sour patch kids, toilet paper diapers.
[00:19:21]  It's not a joke.
[00:19:22]  People are going to suffer because of the malevolence and some would say the incompetence of this regime.
[00:19:30]  I'm a prepper.
[00:19:31]  So my wife and I were good because we know that calamity and chaos, it's coming.
[00:19:37]  In fact, it's already here with food shortages all across the country.
[00:19:41]  It's a reality.
[00:19:42]  We got to prepare for it.
[00:19:43]  That's why we looked far and wide.
[00:19:44]  We said, hey, on the Charlie Kirk show, we want to partner with a company that knows how to prepare for you, doesn't rip you off.
[00:19:51]  It's not one of those awful things that is like infomercials.
[00:19:54]  No, these are real people.
[00:19:55]  We know the owners, and they're my Patriot supply.
[00:19:58]  The smartest thing you could do right now is get a three-month emergency food kit from my Patriot supply.
[00:20:03]  I have vetted them.
[00:20:04]  I have boxes of their stuff at our home because when things start to fall apart, we're going to be well fed at our home because we know that we have my Patriot supply.
[00:20:13]  You could save $100 right now on their three-month emergency food kit just in time before all the panic.
[00:20:19]  Literally, Pete Budajedge is coming out and he's saying things are running out.

[00:21:34]  There is an important Senate race right now in Ohio.
[00:21:38]  And JD Vance, who I've endorsed, is a great guy and a friend of mine.
[00:21:42]  And I think represents really where we need the conservative movement to go, which is one of action and one that understands the existential threats that we are up against and willing to do something about it.
[00:21:53]  I want to talk about that, including a lot of issues that are impacting people.
[00:21:57]  JD Vance running for Senate in Ohio.
[00:21:59]  JD, how you doing?
[00:22:00]  Good, Charlie.
[00:22:01]  Thanks for having me.
[00:22:02]  Thanks for coming on.
[00:22:03]  So let's just start from, how's the race going in Ohio?
[00:22:07]  You started as an author, Hill Billy Elegy, and now it looks like you're almost tied.
[00:22:11]  How are things going?
[00:22:12]  Yeah, yeah, we got a lot of momentum.
[00:22:14]  Seems like things are going in our direction.
[00:22:17]  It's early, man.
[00:22:17]  We still got seven or so months to go.
[00:22:19]  So a lot of voters are still starting to pay attention.
[00:22:22]  But man, I'm excited about where we are.
[00:22:24]  If you'd asked me when we declared the candidacy in early July, if we'd be where we were in late October, I would have taken it, you know, every single day of the week.
[00:22:34]  So I'm happy.
[00:22:35]  You have a lot of momentum, and I think it's just getting started.
[00:22:37]  So let's talk about a couple issues.
[00:22:40]  The vaccine mandate.
[00:22:41]  Why is there so much silence from establishment Republicans on this vaccine mandate?
[00:22:46]  JD, if I'm not mistaken, you're a Marine.
[00:22:48]  You served in our military, and you did so courageously.
[00:22:52]  We are now entertaining the dismissal of hundreds of thousands of members of our military.
[00:22:59]  Why are we putting up with this?
[00:23:01]  Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
[00:23:02]  Members of our military, but also nurses, while we have a hospital shortage, truck drivers, and we have a major supply chain crisis.
[00:23:08]  It's one of the craziest things that I've ever seen.
[00:23:11]  And I guess I think the reason most Republicans are silent on this stuff is that they're terrified to sort of upset the apple cart when it comes to private companies, right?
[00:23:19]  We're very comfortable as Republicans, and even a lot of establishment folks were criticizing the Biden government vaccine mandates.
[00:23:25]  But I think that if we're going to actually represent our people and defend the interests of our people, we have to recognize that when the major multinational corporations say that you have to take a vaccine, you have to take an experimental shot to be able to work in this economy, to be able to support your family.
[00:23:40]  We as Republicans have to stand up and push back against that.
[00:23:44]  And so many Republicans, I think, say, well, we'll do it if it's the government, but if it's a private company, there's just nothing we can do.
[00:23:50]  Of course, that's been the approach of, say, Christy Noam in South Dakota.
[00:23:53]  But I think that's stupid because at the end of the day, what we're most interested in is liberty.
[00:23:58]  We're interested in our people being able to live fulfilled lives.
[00:24:01]  And that's impossible when they're being forced to do something just to work at a normal job.
[00:24:06]  Well, let's talk about that because some conservatives say, no, no, no, liberty is having the companies do what they want.
[00:24:11]  And if you don't like it, go find another job, go to another college.
[00:24:15]  And it kind of goes to this argument that you started a couple of years ago in a good way.
[00:24:20]  Just why won't you leave Ohio, JD?
[00:24:22]  Why aren't you living in Manhattan?
[00:24:23]  I mean, come on, it's not like Ohio's nice.
[00:24:25]  It's this idea that you must betray the rootedness, is that you must kind of crumple the three-tied knot, as Edmund Burke would say, of the past, the present, and the future.
[00:24:34]  And that's not a nation.
[00:24:36]  That's nothing more than colony hopping.
[00:24:38]  Why should we say, no, no, no, no, liberty is the pursuit of virtue.
[00:24:42]  We need a balance between, you know, private companies, obviously, and entrepreneurs starting new things, which we support.
[00:24:47]  We like private property rights.
[00:24:49]  But as soon as AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson  ⁇ Johnson, BioNTech collude with Facebook, Google, Twitter, the CDC, and the NIH, like, excuse me while I say, no, this is not what I'm defending.
[00:24:59]  This is not what the founding fathers thought of as liberty.
[00:25:01]  Yeah, that's exactly right.
[00:25:02]  We're not just an economy of rootless individuals.
[00:25:05]  We're a nation of people with a common history and a common future.
[00:25:08]  And at the end of the day, you know, you raised something very important.
[00:25:12]  Like the division between the government and the private sector when it comes to these vaccines is very bizarre, right?
[00:25:18]  Because it's not just the private sector over here, the government over here.
[00:25:21]  What it is is the government is very often pushing the private sector to do things that maybe the private sector wouldn't like to.
[00:25:27]  And then you have the private sector using the government as a cudgel to do something that it couldn't do on its own.
[00:25:32]  And then, of course, the people who are approving the drugs sit on the boards of the FDA and the NIH.
[00:25:38]  I mean, the really disgusting, swampy way in which all of these institutions interact and depend on one another is one of the reasons why I think this is the moment where conservatives have to stand up and say, enough is enough.
[00:25:51]  I don't want to live in a country where a private company can force people to do what they want to do just to live their lives.
[00:25:58]  At the end of the day, you should have the right to at least earn a living for yourself and your family.
[00:26:03]  You shouldn't be forced to take Pfizer's experimental vaccine if you want to do that.
[00:26:07]  And this is where some conservatives just are paralyzed because either they're bought and paid for by these companies or their special interest groups, or they hide behind slogans and dogma while their voters are getting crushed.
[00:26:21]  And this is a really important moment where conservatives need to take a step back and say, what are we really trying to do here?
[00:26:28]  Are we trying to preserve some sort of esoteric kind of one-liner like, oh, well, we stand for unfettered capitalism?
[00:26:38]  And don't get me wrong.
[00:26:39]  I love markets.
[00:26:39]  They're phenomenal.
[00:26:40]  It's the best way to organize society.
[00:26:42]  But markets should serve people.
[00:26:44]  And when people start to get crushed, then we should be unafraid to take a stand and say, you know what?
[00:26:48]  No, you're not allowed at Ohio State University to mandate a vaccine.
[00:26:53]  You're not allowed at the United States military to discharge Marines because they don't want to take a vaccine.
[00:26:58]  And so what would you as a senator, JD, do about this?
[00:27:01]  Because I'm seeing it is all quiet on the Western front.
[00:27:04]  And I will say, Rand Paul's been good on this, on the medical tyranny part of this.
[00:27:08]  He really has.
[00:27:10]  And I think Josh Hawley's been really good on the corporate overreach part of it, kind of different focuses and Senator Cruz as well.
[00:27:16]  But what would you do as a senator?
[00:27:19]  What's the message you would bring with this issue?
[00:27:21]  Because this is one of the top issues for me and I know for our listeners.
[00:27:26]  I don't think there's no reason we couldn't do at the Senate level, at the federal level, what Rhonda Santis has effectively done in Florida, which is say neither the government nor a multinational corporation will force someone to take the shot in order to earn a living.
[00:27:39]  No school is going to force a four or five year old child to wear a mask to live a normal life in this country.
[00:27:45]  These are decisions that have been made by government leaders to effectively allow this medical tyranny.
[00:27:50]  Of course, Dr. Fauci sits at the top of it.
[00:27:52]  There's an entire public health bureaucracy underneath.
[00:27:55]  Those people have been given free reign by our leaders.
[00:27:57]  It's a simple fact of reining these folks in, right?
[00:28:00]  Put the dogs on a leash, say, you're not allowed to go so far.
[00:28:03]  You're not allowed to force people to do what you want them to do in order for them to live a normal life.
[00:28:08]  That's really all this is about, right?
[00:28:10]  Most people in our country, some want the shot, some don't.
[00:28:14]  They just want to be able to live their lives in accordance with their own values without being constantly told what to do by people who hate them.
[00:28:23]  And whenever I push back against vaccine mandates, Charlie, one of the things that I always hear from people from the left is, well, George Washington required smallpox inoculation 240 years ago in the Continental Army.
[00:28:36]  And I said, well, yeah, that's a fair argument if you assume that George Washington and Anthony Fauci are the same people, but they're not.
[00:28:43]  It's a different set of leaders.
[00:28:45]  It's a different disease with a different mortality profile.
[00:28:48]  We have to have a different response to it in this era.
[00:28:52]  George Washington was the president of the Order of Cincinnati, which your hometown, Cincinnati, is named after.
[00:28:57]  Cincinnati was a Roman general who served in the war and went back to his farm after he was serving.
[00:29:02]  Fauci's not going back to a farm and giving up power anytime soon.
[00:29:06]  When George Washington did not automatically become dictator, King George looked to his advisor and said, if that is true and George Washington is not becoming king, he's the greatest man to have ever lived.
[00:29:16]  That is a quote from King George.
[00:29:18]  So now, JD, I want to talk about there's a super PAC Club for Growth that is spending ads against you, but it's bizarre for them to try to attack you on Trump credentials.
[00:29:29]  And for whatever it's worth, I don't speak for the president.
[00:29:33]  He's a friend of mine.
[00:29:34]  I did write a book that did very well called the MAGA Doctrine.
[00:29:37]  I would say you are the best kind of heir to Trumpism in Ohio without a shadow of a doubt.
[00:29:43]  But what's been really interesting, it's not about Trump.
[00:29:45]  That's not what this is about.
[00:29:46]  What it's about is that you're willing to talk about breaking up companies' corporate tyranny and international trade.
[00:29:51]  Can you talk a little bit about this?
[00:29:52]  Because I find it repulsive that this group is spending money against you while they also oppose Trump.
[00:29:59]  It's kind of this kind of weird AI deep fake that's going on.
[00:30:03]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:30:04]  And as you know, Charlie, like a lot of conservatives, right?
[00:30:08]  I had some critical things to say about Trump five years ago.
[00:30:11]  I was an enthusiastic supporter of his over the past several years.
[00:30:15]  And, you know, it's called the Club for Growth.
[00:30:17]  I call it the Club for Chinese Growth because the end result of their policies is to build up the Chinese economy on the backs of the American middle class and the American manufacturing sector.
[00:30:27]  They hate the idea that I'm defending Trump's tariffs.
[00:30:32]  They hate the idea that I'm defending the concept that we should have manufacturing and economic independence in this country.
[00:30:38]  And so they're spending a million dollars of ads against me to try to take down my candidacy, which as we talked about earlier, has a lot of momentum.
[00:30:45]  At the end of the day, I take it as a positive sign that this organization that's endorsed Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake, a lot of other rhinos over the past four or five years is attacking me.
[00:30:57]  I welcome their attacks.
[00:30:59]  I welcome the fact that they're standing against me because I think it sends an important signal.
[00:31:03]  You know, I think if we learn anything over the last five years, it's that the problem, and there is a problem in the Republican Party.
[00:31:10]  It's not, as the media says, with President Trump.
[00:31:13]  It's with the entire set of institutions and establishment political figures that actively fought the president on immigration, on trade, on his core economic philosophy.
[00:31:24]  And I think the reason they're attacking me is because they know that at the end of the day, on these core issues, I'm actually for American economic nationalism.
[00:31:34]  I believe in our economic independence.
[00:31:36]  I believe that we should have a robust manufacturing sector.
[00:31:39]  I don't think that we should enrich Wall Street banks and ship all of our jobs off to China so that we can get a bunch of cheap garbage at Walmart.
[00:31:46]  That is not my economic viewpoint.
[00:31:48]  And because of it, they're attacking me.
[00:31:50]  Self-sufficiency and breaking up the corporate oligarchy are two things that those groups are afraid to say because they might interrupt the capital flows of people that are highly intertwined with Wuhan China.
[00:32:03]  Let me say that again.
[00:32:04]  A self-sufficient America and breaking up the corporate oligarchy.
[00:32:08]  Those are top priorities, though, for conservative base that are losing their job because of vaccine mandates.
[00:32:13]  They can't get stuff at their local grocery store because of the supply chain crisis.
[00:32:17]  We have a supply chain crisis because we don't make stuff here because we have not made the decision to try to invest in our own workers.
[00:32:25]  And I know that's a popular position in Ohio.
[00:32:27]  Yes.
[00:32:27]  You know, talk about your website, jdvance.com, jdvance.com, and just when is the race and how can people help?
[00:32:33]  Yeah, the race is in May.
[00:32:35]  They can go to jdvance.com.
[00:32:36]  They can either volunteer for us or support us with resources if they're so inclined.
[00:32:40]  One of the things I'm proud of is that I actually wrote my own issues page on my website.
[00:32:44]  I didn't have a consultant write it.
[00:32:46]  So go there, read what I'm about if you're interested.
[00:32:48]  We need all the help that we can get.
[00:32:50]  Ohio is a big state.
[00:32:51]  There are a lot of people out there.
[00:32:52]  We're trying to meet and shake every single hand that we can, but we need people's help in order to get the message out there.
[00:32:57]  And I'd love their help.
[00:32:58]  There is a new conservative movement, everybody, one that fights, one that's willing to look at the voters and tell them the truth, not the same sort of conservative movement that existed before that won election and lost the country.
[00:33:09]  And I think JD's on the cutting edge of that of the new right.
[00:33:11]  So JD, God bless you.
[00:33:12]  Thank you for coming.
[00:33:13]  And we'll be talking to you soon.
[00:33:15]  Thanks so much.
[00:33:15]  Thanks, Ed.

[00:34:10]  You will not be disappointed.
[00:34:14]  There is so much news happening, but we've been keeping a close eye on the Biden regime and this chaos that is happening in Washington, D.C. Biden is going to Scotland soon for some sort of climate change summit.
[00:34:26]  It's a G20, but this is a climate change-focused one, right?
[00:34:29]  Is that right?
[00:34:30]  Chaired by Greta Thunberg.
[00:34:31]  So she's getting in her Viking ship from Sweden.
[00:34:37]  She's not allowed to board an airplane.
[00:34:39]  So Greta Thunberg is going to Glasgow.
[00:34:42]  I don't know if she's going or not, but I'm sure she's the honorary chair.
[00:34:46]  So let's go to Cut 68.
[00:34:47]  Let's just frame this because the Democrats are trying to spend trillions of dollars we do not have.
[00:34:52]  And the answer needs to be no, no, no, no.
[00:34:54]  We have massive increasing in inflation.
[00:34:57]  They want to spend money on absolute garbage.
[00:35:00]  Let's go to cut 68 on how Democrats are getting frustrated with the progressives.
[00:35:05]  Cut 68.
[00:35:06]  But right now, Biden's facing a huge obstacle.
[00:35:09]  One moderate Democrat told Fox News, quote unquote, it's the effing progressives.
[00:35:15]  We actually cleaned that up.
[00:35:17]  Even with a massive price tag now set at $1.75 trillion, the far left is furious at what's been cut and cut and cut from the plan.
[00:35:28]  Furious.
[00:35:29]  Well, if you go back to some of the episodes we did here on the Charlie Kirk show back in January, in February, we predicted that there was a Democrat Civil War fighting over the spoils of the feast, and they do not know how to govern.
[00:35:39]  Democrats do not know how to govern, how to have compromise, deliberation, negotiation.
[00:35:46]  All they know is how to infect and how to take over.
[00:35:49]  That is all they know how to do.
[00:35:51]  So now Biden is saying it's $1.75 trillion.
[00:35:54]  So here's the good news, everybody.
[00:35:55]  I know that there's not a lot of good news out there.
[00:35:57]  It seems as if the Democrats' plan to spy on the bank account via the IRS is dead.
[00:36:04]  That further empowering the IRS, the Internal Revenue Service, is dead on arrival.
[00:36:08]  That seems like Manchin, God bless him, has killed that.
[00:36:12]  Is that right, Connor?
[00:36:13]  That looks like that's what's happening, right?
[00:36:14]  The IRS thing is over with, and that was a very unpopular provision.
[00:36:19]  It seems as if that paid family leave is over, not happening.
[00:36:24]  A lot of the green energy nonsense, done, not happening.
[00:36:28]  Joe Manchin literally told Joe Biden about the IRS thing.
[00:36:31]  This is just insane.
[00:36:33]  Thank you, Joe Manchin.
[00:36:34]  And I'm not one to try to compliment Democrats, but the fact the IRS would have back-end access to all of our bank accounts, yeah, no, that's not going to happen, okay?
[00:36:44]  Joe Biden gave a meandering speech.
[00:36:46]  Now, Joe Biden is trying to get this done before he goes to Glasgow, Scotland, and the clock is ticking.
[00:36:51]  I think he thinks he's going to Italy because that's what he said in the press conference.
[00:36:54]  He'll say, I'll see you in Italy.
[00:36:55]  Glasgow's not in Italy unless you're going somewhere else that we're not aware of.
[00:36:59]  You're going to Rome.
[00:37:00]  Actually, he's going to the Vatican.
[00:37:01]  Okay.
[00:37:01]  He's going to see the Pope, kindred spirits of two international globalists that are trying to destroy the country, try to destroy the planet.
[00:37:09]  Cut 73.
[00:37:11]  Biden says compromise is the only way to get things done in democracy.
[00:37:15]  We aren't a democracy.
[00:37:16]  We're a republic.
[00:37:17]  But this framework includes historic investments in our nation and our people.
[00:37:20]  Play Cut 73.
[00:37:21]  No one got everything they wanted, including me.
[00:37:25]  But that's what compromise is.
[00:37:27]  I've long said compromise and consensus are the only way to get big things done in a democracy.
[00:37:34]  But this framework includes historic investments in our nation and in our people.
[00:37:39]  Any single element of this framework would fundamentally be viewed as a fundamental change in America.
[00:37:47]  So it went from $3.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion.
[00:37:51]  Now, this doesn't include the bipartisan infrastructure package, the BIF, that far too many establishment Republicans have been supporting.
[00:37:58]  Now, some of the establishment Republicans, like someone who I have respect for, Senator Kramer in the flag radio network, I totally disagree with this, but he thought his rationale was that if we support the bipartisan infrastructure package, it puts them on defense for this major spending bill.
[00:38:13]  And I think this is on top of the continuing resolution.
[00:38:15]  Is that right, Connor?
[00:38:16]  So there's like three things.
[00:38:17]  There's a continuing resolution to try to fund the government.
[00:38:19]  There's the bipartisan infrastructure package.
[00:38:22]  And then there's this 1.75 build-back better plan.
[00:38:25]  But here's where it is.
[00:38:25]  It's Pelosi versus Jayapal.
[00:38:28]  It's Pelosi versus the radical left-wing kind of aspects.
[00:38:32]  And I just want to say this, for all of you who think that elections are totally rigged and there's no chance, I do believe that our last election was interfered with.
[00:38:39]  But guess what?
[00:38:40]  The Democrats have like a six-seat majority right now in the House.
[00:38:44]  Four seat.
[00:38:44]  Four seat?
[00:38:45]  Three seat.
[00:38:46]  Man, they're dropping like flies.
[00:38:47]  That's why AOC, Rashida Talib, and Jayapal have so much power.
[00:38:51]  If Pelosi really was able to get all the elections she wanted to get all across the country, she could just run over Jayapal, run over AOC.
[00:38:59]  She needs Ayana Presley.
[00:39:01]  She needs Jayapal.
[00:39:02]  She needs AOC.
[00:39:03]  She needs Hakeem Jeffries.
[00:39:05]  She needs every single one of these radicals.
[00:39:07]  And so Biden's entire spending palooza is put in jeopardy.
[00:39:10]  And he's just hours away from leaving the country while his domestic agenda to destroy the country is in peril.
[00:39:17]  And that's a good thing.
[00:39:17]  We're going to keep our eyes on what's happening in D.C. as the regime falls apart and they are having their own Democrat civil war.
[00:39:24]  And quite honestly, I'm loving every single minute of it.
[00:39:28]  Bring it on.
