00:03:25.000 Irish County with 99.7% vaccination rate has highest COVID case rate, according to Daniel Horowitz.

00:03:33.000 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.

00:03:44.000 Are they now going to suggest it's the fault of the 0.3%?

00:03:48.000 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.

00:03:58.000 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.

00:04:04.000 He is one of the smartest people.

00:04:05.000 He's courageous.

00:04:08.000 He's the only person, I shouldn't say that.

00:04:11.000 There's like a couple dozen.

00:04:12.000 That's about it.

00:04:13.000 But he's one of the few people that's actually talking about this story.

00:04:17.000 And if you follow conservative people in the media and they refuse to talk about these types of issues, you got a problem.

00:04:24.000 Daniel Horowitz continues by saying Waterford has the highest incidence rate of anywhere in Ireland.

00:04:30.000 The COVID rate is three times the national average, which in itself has been increasing steadily in recent weeks.

00:04:35.000 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.

00:04:47.000 The county has gone from having one of the lowest rates of COVID-19 infection in Ireland to one of the highest.

00:04:54.000 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.

00:05:04.000 So what else happened?

00:05:05.000 They had an increase in COVID cases.

00:05:07.000 And it's not just mild cases.

00:05:09.000 Ireland has the highest number of people in the hospital with COVID since March, and the trajectory is getting worse.

00:05:16.000 This is with the highest vaccination rate in the EU, over 90% of those over 16.

00:05:22.000 How many more pieces of evidence do we need?

00:05:24.000 How about Singapore?

00:05:25.000 After vaccinating over 85% of its population, Singapore has the highest rates that they've had.

00:05:34.000 How about Israel?

00:05:36.000 At what point are people going to accept a conversation and say, well, is this helping?

00:05:43.000 Now, it's not a matter of if you want to believe it.

00:05:47.000 The question is, is it true?

00:05:49.000 Yeah, this is an inconvenient pattern of information.

00:05:55.000 It is an inconvenient truth.

00:05:57.000 I get it.

00:05:58.000 It would be easier if it was like the measles mumps rebella polio vaccine and you get it and move on.

00:06:05.000 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.

00:06:23.000 Daniel Horowitz calls this a leaky vaccine.

00:06:29.000 He continues by saying, 70% of deaths in the United Kingdom are people that are fully vaccinated, fully vaccinated.

00:06:40.000 And meanwhile, you have Scandinavian countries that are pulling the vaccine for children.

00:06:49.000 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.

00:07:00.000 So a very good question is, what data are the Scandinavian countries looking at that our leaders are not looking at?

00:07:11.000 Are they dealing with a different set of circumstances?

00:07:13.000 Of course not.

00:07:14.000 They're dealing with human beings and they're dealing with the very same vaccine.

00:07:18.000 Yet why is it that the Scandinavian countries are now repeatedly pulling the vaccine?

00:07:27.000 Iceland becomes fifth European country to halt the COVID-19 vaccine.

00:07:32.000 Iceland.

00:07:34.000 Finland joins Sweden and Denmark in limiting the COVID-19 vaccine.

00:07:39.000 Sweden and Denmark pause the distribution for the COVID-19 vaccine.

00:07:47.000 The Swedish Total Population Cohort Study shows the following.

00:07:52.000 That protection from infection below 50% after four months if you get the vaccine, no protection measurable after seven months, if that's Pfizer.

00:07:59.000 The Swedish study shows that AstraZeneca wanes faster, even becomes negative, and protection against severe outcome only after 40% after six months.

00:08:10.000 Alex Berenson, who has been completely censored and suppressed, if you type in Denmark high vaccination rate, people were celebrating that's the case.

00:08:22.000 And then all of a sudden, did you realize and notice that their COVID rates go up?

00:08:29.000 Denmark Health Minister says light down likely because of high vaccination rates.

00:08:35.000 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.

00:08:45.000 Someone just emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:08:48.000 Are these people ignoring the efficacy of ivermectin?

00:08:50.000 Of course they are.

00:08:51.000 That's been their entire campaign.

00:08:54.000 Part of the entire strategy is to try and ignore any sort of treatments that might be helpful, that might be cheap and effective.

00:09:09.000 I want to play a tape here of a guest that was on Joe Rogan.

00:09:14.000 Do we have that tape?

00:09:16.000 No, we don't.

00:09:18.000 The tape about the ivermectin.

00:09:21.000 If you can get that, that'd be great of how allegedly members of Congress are taking it.

00:09:25.000 Okay, yeah, let's go to CUT 66.

00:09:27.000 That's fine.

00:09:28.000 Cut 66.

00:09:30.000 There's some suspicion, and it's not confirmed yet, that over 200 members of Congress have been treated with ivermectin.

00:09:38.000 This is on Joe Rogan's show, play Cut 66.

00:09:40.000 I mean, it should be no surprise.

00:09:41.000 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.

00:09:55.000 Did you know that?

00:09:55.000 They did not know that.

00:09:56.000 Holy crap. 0.98

00:09:57.000 Google that. 0.96

00:09:58.000 200 members of Congress.

00:10:01.000 This is according to Dr. Pierre Corey.

00:10:04.000 The media is saying that's not true, but I've heard this from multiple sources now.

00:10:08.000 So why is it that members of Congress get to use ivermectin, but you have to be told it's a horse dewormer?

00:10:13.000 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.

00:10:22.000 This also ties to one of the stories that we talked about last week.

00:10:26.000 And almost no one wants to talk about this story, but it's really important.

00:10:32.000 And I'm not saying that we know why this is happening, but we need to talk about it.

00:10:41.000 Overall death rates are going up for people under the age of 50 in America.

00:10:46.000 National Public Radio did an entire story on this, where they basically say the shocking rise of deaths across America.

00:10:53.000 I wonder why people are dying.

00:10:54.000 And not just from COVID.

00:10:55.000 It's not COVID, by the way.

00:10:56.000 NPR admits it is not because of COVID.

00:10:59.000 They just say death rates are going up.

00:11:02.000 Why is there not a deliberate campaign to get to the bottom of this immediately?

00:11:06.000 One of the most important stories happening in America.

00:11:09.000 That death rates just go up and we're supposed to take that?

00:11:11.000 Like, oh, yeah, it's just perfectly normal.

00:11:15.000 Hospitals are being overrun, but they're not being overrun by COVID patients.

00:11:19.000 They're being overrun by people that are having heart issues, myocarditis, people that are just having general health complications.

00:11:29.000 And you're not allowed to talk about any of this, according to the activist press.

00:11:32.000 You're not allowed to even ask the next question.

00:11:35.000 But when it comes to treatment, Dr. Pierre Corey says they treated over 200 members of Congress at ivermectin.

00:11:43.000 So let me get this straight.

00:11:44.000 Congress exempts itself from the vaccine mandate.

00:11:47.000 Congress exempts itself from Obamacare.

00:11:50.000 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.

00:12:08.000 They should have Dr. Fauci administer a urine sample to find out if Dr. Fauci's been taking hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

00:12:16.000 It's only fair.

00:12:18.000 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.

00:12:29.000 We need to know what leaders are taking hydroxychloroquine before we give the vaccine to a five-year-old.

00:12:37.000 I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.

00:12:40.000 You can stop imagining because it's a reality.

00:12:43.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down completely.

00:12:48.000 Why?

00:12:49.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve. 1.00

00:12:53.000 That's why Good Ranchers is here. 0.93

00:13:17.000 Did you know the product of USA TAG has been stolen by foreign countries that hate us?

00:13:22.000 They process their meat here and they label it like it came from America.

00:13:26.000 Because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat, over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.

00:13:35.000 Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the farmers that worked to raise the meat that we enjoy.

00:14:17.000 Goodranchers.com slash Charlie.

00:14:22.000 I mean, the least we could do is to say, hey, you're a member of Congress.

00:14:26.000 You're pushing forced vaccinations on your constituents.

00:14:29.000 Why don't you show the country that you haven't been taking horse dewormer?

00:14:32.000 Come on, step on up to the plate, Nancy Pelosi. 0.92

00:14:35.000 Come on.

00:14:37.000 Let's just make sure that you are doing what you say you're going to do.

00:14:40.000 It's the least we could do.

00:14:43.000 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.

00:14:51.000 In fact, there's some data that shows that ventilators hurt.

00:14:53.000 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.

00:15:02.000 And yet doctors who prescribe ivermectin and prescribe these anti-malarials, antivirals, they could lose their license.

00:15:09.000 I said this at our campus stop with Turning Point USA, and I'll say this again.

00:15:14.000 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.

00:15:29.000 All of you need to know about the big five.

00:15:30.000 By the way, I'm not saying you should take it.

00:15:32.000 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.

00:15:41.000 The big five, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, zithromycin, monoclonal antibodies, aspirin.

00:15:50.000 And if I had to add a big six into it, vitamin D and zinc.

00:15:54.000 But those five right there.

00:15:56.000 You are not allowed to talk about those things on digital social media.

00:15:59.000 Tech companies collude with the NIH, CDC, and Pfizer clamp you down.

00:16:03.000 You're not allowed to talk about this on most television shows.

00:16:07.000 This segment might offend you because it's a mom reading about what children are learning in public school.

00:16:14.000 If your child is in public school, you better read all the curriculum and all the books that they're being exposed to.

00:16:18.000 Now, here's what's amazing.

00:16:20.000 This mom goes to a school board meeting. 1.00

00:16:22.000 She reads from the child pornography book because that's what children are being taught. 0.92

00:16:26.000 Her mic is caught off.

00:16:28.000 Her mic gets cut off.

00:16:31.000 And the district goes after the mom for reading inappropriate material that 10-year-olds are learning.

00:16:37.000 Parents, you got to shift gears.

00:16:39.000 You got to get out of cruise control.

00:16:42.000 This is an extraordinary video.

00:16:44.000 PlayCut 76.

00:16:46.000 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. 0.99

00:16:55.000 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.

00:17:04.000 All right, not gonna lie, I had to Google Cornhole because I have the game in the back of my yard.

00:17:09.000 But according to Wikipedia, Cornhole is a sexualist slang vulgarism for anus. 0.99

00:17:16.000 I do not want my children to learn about anal sex in middle school. 0.99

00:17:21.000 You are supposed to be educating our children. 1.00

00:17:25.000 Do not teach them about anal sex. 1.00

00:17:28.000 They cut off her mic. 1.00

00:17:29.000 That's Lake Travis right outside of Austin, Texas.

00:17:33.000 And they go after her for reading the actual material that children are learning.

00:17:39.000 Another tweet by Christopher Ruffo.

00:17:41.000 This tweet is so graphic.

00:17:42.000 I don't even know.

00:17:43.000 I'll be very honest with all of you.

00:17:44.000 I don't know how I'm going to read this tweet.

00:17:48.000 I don't know.

00:17:49.000 So this is Keller ISD, a Texas school board, where legitimate visual pornography, a felony offense, is in one of the libraries.

00:17:58.000 I can't even look at these images. 0.72

00:17:59.000 It's so disgusting. 0.98

00:18:01.000 And it's two men literally having sex and they're giving it to 11-year-olds. 0.98

00:18:07.000 I can't believe the tweet is still up, to be perfectly honest.

00:18:11.000 I can't even read what it says in here.

00:18:13.000 People would email us in such record numbers.

00:18:17.000 How do I describe this, Connor?

00:18:18.000 Is there even a way to walk through this?

00:18:20.000 I don't even.

00:18:21.000 Let's just say it's the most graphic images and material of two men that are having sex given to 10-year-olds.

00:18:30.000 Literally the image is right there.

00:18:32.000 And Christopher Ruffo tweeted it out alongside Libs of TikTok, which is quite a Twitter account, I got to tell you.

00:18:40.000 Yeah, you could just go to charliekirk.com, go to our Twitter to see it.

00:18:44.000 It's so bad, everybody.

00:18:46.000 I don't want to cause a car accident for all of you listening on the radio.

00:18:51.000 Parents, your kids are being targeted by forces of darkness.

00:18:58.000 It's long past time to do something about it.

00:19:00.000 And grandparents, don't sit idly by.

00:19:03.000 You will lose your kids and your grandkids, and they will not share your values unless you do something.

00:19:10.000 Everybody, look, there are shortages all over the place.

00:19:13.000 We are running out of stuff quickly.

00:19:15.000 It's scary out there.

00:19:16.000 We can't get fish sticks anymore, sour patch kids, toilet paper diapers.

00:19:21.000 It's not a joke.

00:19:22.000 People are going to suffer because of the malevolence and some would say the incompetence of this regime.

00:19:30.000 I'm a prepper.

00:19:31.000 So my wife and I were good because we know that calamity and chaos, it's coming.

00:19:37.000 In fact, it's already here with food shortages all across the country.

00:19:41.000 It's a reality.

00:19:42.000 We got to prepare for it.

00:19:43.000 That's why we looked far and wide.

00:19:44.000 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.

00:19:51.000 It's not one of those awful things that is like infomercials.

00:19:54.000 No, these are real people.

00:19:55.000 We know the owners, and they're my Patriot supply. 0.53

00:19:58.000 The smartest thing you could do right now is get a three-month emergency food kit from my Patriot supply.

00:20:03.000 I have vetted them.

00:20:04.000 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.

00:20:13.000 You could save $100 right now on their three-month emergency food kit just in time before all the panic.

00:20:19.000 Literally, Pete Budajedge is coming out and he's saying things are running out.

00:20:22.000 Good luck.

00:20:23.000 It'll be like Hunger Games, Lord of the Flies.

00:20:25.000 But if you take advantage of my offer right now, you'll be well fed.

00:20:29.000 You get three months worth of breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks over 2,000 calories a day.

00:20:36.000 And since you're saving $100 per kit, get one for each member of your family.

00:20:40.000 It's the best investment because I know you know deep down, things might end up looking like a third world country sometime soon. 1.00

00:20:47.000 It's not good.

00:20:48.000 But I'm able to offer you something with preparewithkirk.com, a wide variety of delicious foods.

00:20:54.000 You won't get bored.

00:21:34.000 There is an important Senate race right now in Ohio.

00:21:38.000 And JD Vance, who I've endorsed, is a great guy and a friend of mine.

00:21:42.000 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.

00:21:53.000 I want to talk about that, including a lot of issues that are impacting people.

00:21:57.000 JD Vance running for Senate in Ohio.

00:21:59.000 JD, how you doing?

00:22:00.000 Good, Charlie.

00:22:01.000 Thanks for having me.

00:22:02.000 Thanks for coming on.

00:22:03.000 So let's just start from, how's the race going in Ohio?

00:22:07.000 You started as an author, Hill Billy Elegy, and now it looks like you're almost tied.

00:22:11.000 How are things going?

00:22:12.000 Yeah, yeah, we got a lot of momentum.

00:22:14.000 Seems like things are going in our direction.

00:22:17.000 It's early, man.

00:22:17.000 We still got seven or so months to go.

00:22:19.000 So a lot of voters are still starting to pay attention.

00:22:22.000 But man, I'm excited about where we are.

00:22:24.000 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.

00:22:34.000 So I'm happy.

00:22:35.000 You have a lot of momentum, and I think it's just getting started.

00:22:37.000 So let's talk about a couple issues.

00:22:40.000 The vaccine mandate.

00:22:41.000 Why is there so much silence from establishment Republicans on this vaccine mandate?

00:22:46.000 JD, if I'm not mistaken, you're a Marine.

00:22:48.000 You served in our military, and you did so courageously.

00:22:52.000 We are now entertaining the dismissal of hundreds of thousands of members of our military.

00:22:59.000 Why are we putting up with this?

00:23:01.000 Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

00:23:02.000 Members of our military, but also nurses, while we have a hospital shortage, truck drivers, and we have a major supply chain crisis.

00:23:08.000 It's one of the craziest things that I've ever seen.

00:23:11.000 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?

00:23:19.000 We're very comfortable as Republicans, and even a lot of establishment folks were criticizing the Biden government vaccine mandates.

00:23:25.000 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.

00:23:40.000 We as Republicans have to stand up and push back against that.

00:23:44.000 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.

00:23:50.000 Of course, that's been the approach of, say, Christy Noam in South Dakota. 0.97

00:23:53.000 But I think that's stupid because at the end of the day, what we're most interested in is liberty. 0.96

00:23:58.000 We're interested in our people being able to live fulfilled lives. 0.98

00:24:01.000 And that's impossible when they're being forced to do something just to work at a normal job.

00:24:06.000 Well, let's talk about that because some conservatives say, no, no, no, liberty is having the companies do what they want.

00:24:11.000 And if you don't like it, go find another job, go to another college.

00:24:15.000 And it kind of goes to this argument that you started a couple of years ago in a good way.

00:24:20.000 Just why won't you leave Ohio, JD?

00:24:22.000 Why aren't you living in Manhattan?

00:24:23.000 I mean, come on, it's not like Ohio's nice.

00:24:25.000 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.

00:24:34.000 And that's not a nation.

00:24:36.000 That's nothing more than colony hopping.

00:24:38.000 Why should we say, no, no, no, no, liberty is the pursuit of virtue.

00:24:42.000 We need a balance between, you know, private companies, obviously, and entrepreneurs starting new things, which we support.

00:24:47.000 We like private property rights.

00:24:49.000 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.

00:24:59.000 This is not what the founding fathers thought of as liberty.

00:25:01.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:25:02.000 We're not just an economy of rootless individuals.

00:25:05.000 We're a nation of people with a common history and a common future.

00:25:08.000 And at the end of the day, you know, you raised something very important.

00:25:12.000 Like the division between the government and the private sector when it comes to these vaccines is very bizarre, right?

00:25:18.000 Because it's not just the private sector over here, the government over here.

00:25:21.000 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.

00:25:27.000 And then you have the private sector using the government as a cudgel to do something that it couldn't do on its own.

00:25:32.000 And then, of course, the people who are approving the drugs sit on the boards of the FDA and the NIH.

00:25:38.000 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.

00:25:51.000 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.

00:25:58.000 At the end of the day, you should have the right to at least earn a living for yourself and your family.

00:26:03.000 You shouldn't be forced to take Pfizer's experimental vaccine if you want to do that.

00:26:07.000 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.

00:26:21.000 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?

00:26:28.000 Are we trying to preserve some sort of esoteric kind of one-liner like, oh, well, we stand for unfettered capitalism?

00:26:38.000 And don't get me wrong.

00:26:39.000 I love markets.

00:26:39.000 They're phenomenal.

00:26:40.000 It's the best way to organize society.

00:26:42.000 But markets should serve people.

00:26:44.000 And when people start to get crushed, then we should be unafraid to take a stand and say, you know what?

00:26:48.000 No, you're not allowed at Ohio State University to mandate a vaccine.

00:26:53.000 You're not allowed at the United States military to discharge Marines because they don't want to take a vaccine.

00:26:58.000 And so what would you as a senator, JD, do about this?

00:27:01.000 Because I'm seeing it is all quiet on the Western front.

00:27:04.000 And I will say, Rand Paul's been good on this, on the medical tyranny part of this.

00:27:08.000 He really has.

00:27:10.000 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.

00:27:16.000 But what would you do as a senator?

00:27:19.000 What's the message you would bring with this issue?

00:27:21.000 Because this is one of the top issues for me and I know for our listeners.

00:27:26.000 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. 1.00

00:27:39.000 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.

00:27:45.000 These are decisions that have been made by government leaders to effectively allow this medical tyranny.

00:27:50.000 Of course, Dr. Fauci sits at the top of it.

00:27:52.000 There's an entire public health bureaucracy underneath.

00:27:55.000 Those people have been given free reign by our leaders.

00:27:57.000 It's a simple fact of reining these folks in, right?

00:28:00.000 Put the dogs on a leash, say, you're not allowed to go so far.

00:28:03.000 You're not allowed to force people to do what you want them to do in order for them to live a normal life.

00:28:08.000 That's really all this is about, right?

00:28:10.000 Most people in our country, some want the shot, some don't.

00:28:14.000 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.

00:28:23.000 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.

00:28:36.000 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.

00:28:43.000 It's a different set of leaders.

00:28:45.000 It's a different disease with a different mortality profile.

00:28:48.000 We have to have a different response to it in this era.

00:28:52.000 George Washington was the president of the Order of Cincinnati, which your hometown, Cincinnati, is named after.

00:28:57.000 Cincinnati was a Roman general who served in the war and went back to his farm after he was serving.

00:29:02.000 Fauci's not going back to a farm and giving up power anytime soon.

00:29:06.000 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.

00:29:16.000 That is a quote from King George.

00:29:18.000 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.

00:29:29.000 And for whatever it's worth, I don't speak for the president.

00:29:33.000 He's a friend of mine.

00:29:34.000 I did write a book that did very well called the MAGA Doctrine.

00:29:37.000 I would say you are the best kind of heir to Trumpism in Ohio without a shadow of a doubt.

00:29:43.000 But what's been really interesting, it's not about Trump.

00:29:45.000 That's not what this is about.

00:29:46.000 What it's about is that you're willing to talk about breaking up companies' corporate tyranny and international trade.

00:29:51.000 Can you talk a little bit about this?

00:29:52.000 Because I find it repulsive that this group is spending money against you while they also oppose Trump.

00:29:59.000 It's kind of this kind of weird AI deep fake that's going on.

00:30:03.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:04.000 And as you know, Charlie, like a lot of conservatives, right?

00:30:08.000 I had some critical things to say about Trump five years ago.

00:30:11.000 I was an enthusiastic supporter of his over the past several years.

00:30:15.000 And, you know, it's called the Club for Growth.

00:30:17.000 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.

00:30:27.000 They hate the idea that I'm defending Trump's tariffs.

00:30:32.000 They hate the idea that I'm defending the concept that we should have manufacturing and economic independence in this country.

00:30:38.000 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.

00:30:45.000 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. 0.75

00:30:57.000 I welcome their attacks.

00:30:59.000 I welcome the fact that they're standing against me because I think it sends an important signal.

00:31:03.000 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.

00:31:10.000 It's not, as the media says, with President Trump.

00:31:13.000 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.

00:31:24.000 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.

00:31:34.000 I believe in our economic independence.

00:31:36.000 I believe that we should have a robust manufacturing sector.

00:31:39.000 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.

00:31:46.000 That is not my economic viewpoint.

00:31:48.000 And because of it, they're attacking me.

00:31:50.000 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.

00:32:03.000 Let me say that again.

00:32:04.000 A self-sufficient America and breaking up the corporate oligarchy.

00:32:08.000 Those are top priorities, though, for conservative base that are losing their job because of vaccine mandates.

00:32:13.000 They can't get stuff at their local grocery store because of the supply chain crisis.

00:32:17.000 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.

00:32:25.000 And I know that's a popular position in Ohio.

00:32:27.000 Yes.

00:32:27.000 You know, talk about your website, jdvance.com, jdvance.com, and just when is the race and how can people help?

00:32:33.000 Yeah, the race is in May.

00:32:35.000 They can go to jdvance.com.

00:32:36.000 They can either volunteer for us or support us with resources if they're so inclined.

00:32:40.000 One of the things I'm proud of is that I actually wrote my own issues page on my website.

00:32:44.000 I didn't have a consultant write it.

00:32:46.000 So go there, read what I'm about if you're interested.

00:32:48.000 We need all the help that we can get.

00:32:50.000 Ohio is a big state.

00:32:51.000 There are a lot of people out there.

00:32:52.000 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.

00:32:57.000 And I'd love their help.

00:32:58.000 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.

00:33:09.000 And I think JD's on the cutting edge of that of the new right.

00:33:11.000 So JD, God bless you.

00:33:12.000 Thank you for coming.

00:33:13.000 And we'll be talking to you soon.

00:33:15.000 Thanks so much.

00:33:15.000 Thanks, Ed.

00:33:16.000 Take care.

00:34:14.000 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.

00:34:26.000 It's a G20, but this is a climate change-focused one, right?

00:34:29.000 Is that right?

00:34:30.000 Chaired by Greta Thunberg.

00:34:31.000 So she's getting in her Viking ship from Sweden.

00:34:37.000 She's not allowed to board an airplane.

00:34:39.000 So Greta Thunberg is going to Glasgow. 0.88

00:34:42.000 I don't know if she's going or not, but I'm sure she's the honorary chair.

00:34:46.000 So let's go to Cut 68.

00:34:47.000 Let's just frame this because the Democrats are trying to spend trillions of dollars we do not have.

00:34:52.000 And the answer needs to be no, no, no, no.

00:34:54.000 We have massive increasing in inflation. 0.99

00:34:57.000 They want to spend money on absolute garbage. 0.94

00:35:00.000 Let's go to cut 68 on how Democrats are getting frustrated with the progressives. 0.98

00:35:05.000 Cut 68.

00:35:06.000 But right now, Biden's facing a huge obstacle.

00:35:09.000 One moderate Democrat told Fox News, quote unquote, it's the effing progressives.

00:35:15.000 We actually cleaned that up.

00:35:17.000 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.

00:35:28.000 Furious.

00:35:29.000 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.

00:35:39.000 Democrats do not know how to govern, how to have compromise, deliberation, negotiation.

00:35:46.000 All they know is how to infect and how to take over.

00:35:49.000 That is all they know how to do.

00:35:51.000 So now Biden is saying it's $1.75 trillion.

00:35:54.000 So here's the good news, everybody.

00:35:55.000 I know that there's not a lot of good news out there.

00:35:57.000 It seems as if the Democrats' plan to spy on the bank account via the IRS is dead.

00:36:04.000 That further empowering the IRS, the Internal Revenue Service, is dead on arrival.

00:36:08.000 That seems like Manchin, God bless him, has killed that. 0.66

00:36:12.000 Is that right, Connor?

00:36:13.000 That looks like that's what's happening, right?

00:36:14.000 The IRS thing is over with, and that was a very unpopular provision.

00:36:19.000 It seems as if that paid family leave is over, not happening.

00:36:24.000 A lot of the green energy nonsense, done, not happening.

00:36:28.000 Joe Manchin literally told Joe Biden about the IRS thing.

00:36:31.000 This is just insane.

00:36:33.000 Thank you, Joe Manchin.

00:36:34.000 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?

00:36:44.000 Joe Biden gave a meandering speech.

00:36:46.000 Now, Joe Biden is trying to get this done before he goes to Glasgow, Scotland, and the clock is ticking.

00:36:51.000 I think he thinks he's going to Italy because that's what he said in the press conference.

00:36:54.000 He'll say, I'll see you in Italy.

00:36:55.000 Glasgow's not in Italy unless you're going somewhere else that we're not aware of.

00:36:59.000 You're going to Rome.

00:37:00.000 Actually, he's going to the Vatican.

00:37:01.000 Okay.

00:37:01.000 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.

00:37:09.000 Cut 73.

00:37:11.000 Biden says compromise is the only way to get things done in democracy.

00:37:15.000 We aren't a democracy.

00:37:16.000 We're a republic.

00:37:17.000 But this framework includes historic investments in our nation and our people.

00:37:20.000 Play Cut 73.

00:37:21.000 No one got everything they wanted, including me.

00:37:25.000 But that's what compromise is.

00:37:27.000 I've long said compromise and consensus are the only way to get big things done in a democracy.

00:37:34.000 But this framework includes historic investments in our nation and in our people.

00:37:39.000 Any single element of this framework would fundamentally be viewed as a fundamental change in America.

00:37:47.000 So it went from $3.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion.

00:37:51.000 Now, this doesn't include the bipartisan infrastructure package, the BIF, that far too many establishment Republicans have been supporting.

00:37:58.000 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.

00:38:13.000 And I think this is on top of the continuing resolution.

00:38:15.000 Is that right, Connor?

00:38:16.000 So there's like three things.

00:38:17.000 There's a continuing resolution to try to fund the government.

00:38:19.000 There's the bipartisan infrastructure package.

00:38:22.000 And then there's this 1.75 build-back better plan.

00:38:25.000 But here's where it is.

00:38:25.000 It's Pelosi versus Jayapal.

00:38:28.000 It's Pelosi versus the radical left-wing kind of aspects.

00:38:32.000 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.

00:38:39.000 But guess what?

00:38:40.000 The Democrats have like a six-seat majority right now in the House.

00:38:44.000 Four seat.

00:38:44.000 Four seat?

00:38:45.000 Three seat.

00:38:46.000 Man, they're dropping like flies.

00:38:47.000 That's why AOC, Rashida Talib, and Jayapal have so much power.

00:38:51.000 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. 0.82

00:38:59.000 She needs Ayana Presley. 1.00

00:39:01.000 She needs Jayapal.

00:39:02.000 She needs AOC. 1.00

00:39:03.000 She needs Hakeem Jeffries.

00:39:05.000 She needs every single one of these radicals.

00:39:07.000 And so Biden's entire spending palooza is put in jeopardy.

00:39:10.000 And he's just hours away from leaving the country while his domestic agenda to destroy the country is in peril.

00:39:17.000 And that's a good thing.

00:39:17.000 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.

00:39:24.000 And quite honestly, I'm loving every single minute of it.

00:39:28.000 Bring it on.
