The Charlie Kirk Show - Nicki Minaj, AOC, and the Ruling Class Oligarchy with JD Vance

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, a new story from the Atlantic shows what we have been saying all along, people that die with COVID or from COVID.

00:00:07.000 We're also joined today by JD Vance from Ohio, JD Vance.com.

00:00:13.000 Also, what is going on at the Met Gala?

00:00:16.000 AOC, Alexandria Acasio-Cortez, costs $35,000 to go to the Met Gala.

00:00:20.000 She wears a tax the rich dress, that and so much more. 0.99

00:00:26.000 Also, you're going to hear me talk about Nikki Minaj.

00:00:29.000 I get her momentarily confused with Cardi B, which honestly, we decided not to edit out because it's just hilarious that I don't know the difference between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, but I do know the difference between Socrates and Plato and Aristotle.

00:00:42.000 Aquinas, Augustine, Descartes, Hume, Smith, Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau, Madison Jay, and others.

00:00:51.000 And I think you would like to listen to a program that knows the difference between those guys and couldn't care less about the difference between Nikki Minaj and Cardi B. Email us your thoughts as always.

00:02:12.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:02:20.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:29.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:58.000 Today is the California recall election.

00:03:02.000 Today, Gavin Newsom is put to his greatest political challenge of his life.

00:03:09.000 Joe Biden was there last evening, and we're going to go into great detail about that.

00:03:13.000 And later this hour, we are joined by U.S. Senate candidate JD Vance from Ohio to talk about vaccine mandates and the kind of new partnership of corporate oligarchy and government to try to crush you.

00:03:28.000 But first, I want to start with this remarkable story from the Atlantic.

00:03:31.000 So the Atlantic is owned by Lorene Powell Jobs, or she's a major investor in the Atlantic.

00:03:36.000 That's Steve Jobs' widow. 1.00

00:03:40.000 She's worth $18 to $20 billion, and she is one of the most influential.

00:03:47.000 Think of her as female George Soros.

00:03:51.000 She has $20 billion and she's willing to use it. 0.81

00:03:54.000 She's invested in now this, the Emerson Collective.

00:03:58.000 And Lorene Powell Jobs investing in the Atlantic has always been about politics, not about truth.

00:04:07.000 Now, the Atlantic has this story, which is the Atlantic being kind of a Democrat super PAC, that is one of the most important stories that I've seen published by a mainstream media outlet since the beginning of the Fauci virus, which is our most reliable pandemic number is losing meaning.

00:04:30.000 So it says this.

00:04:31.000 Some states, including Arkansas and Oregon, recently saw their COVID hospitalizations rise to higher levels than at any prior stage of the pandemic.

00:04:40.000 But how do those latter figures really tell us?

00:04:43.000 But what do those figures really tell us?

00:04:46.000 Last winter, this magazine described hospitalizations as the, quote, most reliable pandemic number, while quoting cardiologist Eric Topol, saying it's the best indicator of where we are.

00:05:00.000 On one hand, the death count offers finality, but they're a lagging signal and don't account for people who suffer illness but survived.

00:05:08.000 But now the Atlantic says they were wrong, that hospitalizations is not the best way to actually track the severity of the pandemic.

00:05:16.000 Instead, the Atlantic says a new nationwide study of hospitalization records released as a preprint today suggests that the meaning of this gauge can be easily misinterpreted.

00:05:29.000 Now, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

00:05:32.000 This article really upsets me.

00:05:35.000 For the last 18 months, that's right, for the last year and a half, we've been coming on this show, traveling the country.

00:05:41.000 I have given over 350 speeches in the last year and a half.

00:05:46.000 We have done well over 400 podcasts.

00:05:50.000 We have done hundreds of hours of commentary.

00:05:54.000 And we have said at almost every single turn, especially whenever the Fauci Chinese coronavirus comes up, there is a difference of people that are dying from COVID and dying with the Chinese coronavirus.

00:06:12.000 We have said for 18 months that some people that go to the hospital go because of a broken knee and they get tested positive.

00:06:23.000 Now, St. George Floyd, may he forever be remembered as a martyr, as Nancy Pelosi would say at the beginning of Floyd a Palooza last summer, he was a COVID death. 0.84

00:06:33.000 Did you know that?

00:06:35.000 Did you know that George Floyd tested positive for COVID?

00:06:39.000 Now, did George Floyd die from COVID or die with COVID?

00:06:46.000 George Floyd, after Derek Chauvin put his knee on his neck, and George Floyd very well might have been experiencing a drug overdose.

00:06:55.000 We may never know the actual truth.

00:06:57.000 The first autopsy said that.

00:07:00.000 George Floyd, the autopsy was also done, and they tested him positive for the Chinese coronavirus.

00:07:10.000 Now, no one in their right mind said that the Chinese coronavirus was the reason why George Floyd died.

00:07:17.000 Instead, we burnt down our entire civilization with billions of dollars of damage, cops being shot because we were told that it wasn't because of COVID he died. 0.98

00:07:28.000 Obviously, it was because of evil white cops. 0.95

00:07:32.000 But we've been saying for the last 18 months that hospitalizations is a misleading figure. 0.95

00:07:39.000 And what did Fauci or the CDC or NIH or the pharmaceutical companies say?

00:07:44.000 They say that you're a conspiracy theorist and you're a fear monger.

00:07:48.000 Things that the media call false end up being true 18 months later.

00:07:55.000 I'm going to give you another example.

00:07:56.000 I'll give you a prediction right now.

00:07:58.000 In six to eight months from now, right around Christmas, let's just say, actually, that's like three months from now.

00:08:04.000 What am I talking about?

00:08:04.000 In three months from now, Pfizer is going to want to boost their share price.

00:08:10.000 So Pfizer is going to release a nearly identical drug to ivermectin.

00:08:17.000 It's already been teased, by the way, an antiviral pill.

00:08:21.000 So they attack ivermectin and they attack hydroxychloroquine, but Pfizer is just going to come up with their own antiviral pill.

00:08:30.000 My favorite quote of this piece in The Atlantic is the final sentence.

00:08:36.000 As we look to shift from cases to hospitalizations as a metric to drive policy and assess the level of risk to a community or state or country, it's incredibly important that we should refine the definition of hospitalization.

00:08:55.000 That those patients who are there with, rather from the Fauci virus, don't belong in the metric.

00:09:04.000 You see that?

00:09:05.000 The Atlantic is now saying what we have been saying on this program for the last 18 months.

00:09:14.000 That when you see a COVID death, you say, wait a second, did he die with the virus or did he die of something else?

00:09:20.000 Did he die from a gunshot wound, a heart attack?

00:09:23.000 Did he die from a stroke?

00:09:24.000 Did he die from old age?

00:09:26.000 The question is, and the Atlantic says that we are nearly counting hospitalizations twice as high as necessary.

00:09:33.000 Double.

00:09:34.000 The question is: how many of the deaths that have been attributed to the Chinese coronavirus actually are because of the Chinese coronavirus?

00:09:46.000 We may never know.

00:09:48.000 But what if I told you that the hysteria around the ticker on CNN of cases and deaths that happened, of course, only under Trump might have been largely overblown?

00:10:00.000 Do you notice how CNN has removed the ticker now that cases are actually higher than they were a year ago?

00:10:08.000 CNN has no such COVID tracker.

00:10:11.000 They did have it under Trump, though.

00:10:13.000 Cases, deaths, constant propaganda, fear-mongering.

00:10:20.000 Atlantic story: we're going to post this on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:10:23.000 Our most reliable pandemic number is losing meaning.

00:10:27.000 So you're trying to say that children now have to go wear masks in school, like at the Scottsdale Unified School District.

00:10:33.000 Children are being forced to get vaccinated under a number that, according to the mainstream media Atlantic, has lost its meaning altogether.

00:10:42.000 Not only have the policy solutions been unwise and immoral, but the way we've been diagnosing the problem itself has been wrong since the beginning.

00:10:55.000 Every single person on television has been lying to you, playing into this for a very specific reason, for a political purpose, not for one that will benefit the country.

00:11:09.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:11:12.000 A lot.

00:11:12.000 Truth is, I know millions of people.

00:11:14.000 In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:11:20.000 Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.

00:11:22.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:11:25.000 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.

00:11:31.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:11:32.000 So here's the deal: go to relieffactor.com, that's relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.

00:11:38.000 People ask me, tell me why Relief Factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain.

00:11:42.000 I'm often asked that question.

00:11:44.000 So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips, like producer Andrew.

00:11:48.000 Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, but maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.

00:11:57.000 Maybe Relief Factor is for you.

00:11:59.000 ReliefFactor.com, 100% drug-free.

00:12:02.000 Check it out, relieffactor.com.

00:12:06.000 A lot of drama around the Met Gala yesterday, $35,000 a ticket.

00:12:13.000 And it was an incredibly impressive collection of low IQ, arrogant, and seemingly rich people that are all gathering without masks, by the way, all at one place.

00:12:24.000 Now, we're going to get into AOC's dress and also we're going to get into this other person ever heard of, Kara Delavine, whatever, with her dress that said smash the paper, don't peg the patriarchy or something. 0.92

00:12:37.000 But the more interesting story is who wasn't there.

00:12:40.000 Who wasn't there is someone that I quite honestly consider to be a degenerate and awful influence on young people.

00:12:48.000 You could just go look at one picture or one video of her. 0.86

00:12:51.000 She's basically a glorified stripper with rap music. 1.00

00:12:54.000 In fact, I think she used to be a stripper. 1.00

00:12:57.000 She should have served prison time. 0.99

00:12:58.000 Has she served prison time?

00:12:59.000 Has Nikki ever been to prison?

00:13:01.000 Yes, she has.

00:13:02.000 Well, it wasn't enough. 0.99

00:13:04.000 But she drugged people and stole their money from them under the, I guess you could say, auspices of wanting to be a prostitute with them. 1.00

00:13:13.000 Wasn't that one of the things where she was wanting to be like something like that? 0.70

00:13:18.000 She was like, oh, that's Cardi B. 0.99

00:13:20.000 Oh, I'm totally not Nikki Minaj.

00:13:23.000 Oh, okay, that's Cardi B.

00:13:25.000 Okay.

00:13:26.000 Never mind.

00:13:27.000 Okay, anyway, so Nikki Minaj, I got it totally confused.

00:13:32.000 All right.

00:13:32.000 It was all in our show prep documents, so I'm sorry.

00:13:35.000 All right, so Nikki Minaj tweets out, my cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine because his friend got it and became impotent. 0.85

00:13:42.000 His testicles became swollen.

00:13:44.000 His friend was weeks away from getting married, and now the girl called off the wedding. 0.84

00:13:48.000 So just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decision, not bullied.

00:13:52.000 Now, the backlash to Nikki Minaj has been incredible.

00:13:58.000 Not only are mainstream people now trying to cancel Nikki Minaj, they are in every single way saying that Nikki Minaj is spreading disinformation.

00:14:07.000 Let's just read some of these headlines here.

00:14:10.000 That even the Met Gala can't convince Nikki Minaj to get vaxed.

00:14:15.000 Nikki Minaj owed black women so much more than what she gave us this week.

00:14:21.000 Nikki Minaj Met Gala vaccine tweets highlight struggle against COVID misinformation.

00:14:27.000 Now, she's telling a true story.

00:14:29.000 She's saying something that is true. 0.95

00:14:32.000 And Cut 40 for you to use your Joyanne, Joy Reed, who again, we're not a fan of on this program, says that for you to use your platform to encourage our community to protect themselves and save their lives as a fan, I'm so sad that you did that.

00:14:45.000 Cut 40.

00:14:46.000 You have 22 million followers on Twitter.

00:14:49.000 For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives?

00:14:55.000 My God, sister, you could do better than that.

00:14:57.000 You got that platform.

00:14:59.000 It's a blessing.

00:15:00.000 It's a blessing that you got that.

00:15:02.000 That people listen to you and they listen to you, boy.

00:15:04.000 They listen to me.

00:15:05.000 For you to use your platform to put people in the position of dying from a disease they don't have to die from.

00:15:12.000 Oh my God.

00:15:13.000 As a fan, as a hip-hop fan, as somebody who is your fan, I'm so sad.

00:15:17.000 Now, I just want to apologize for conflating Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.

00:15:21.000 They hate each other, right?

00:15:22.000 They're both in the female rap world. 1.00

00:15:25.000 So again, it's not exact.

00:15:26.000 It's like conflating Tom Brady and Peyton Manning if you have not a football fan, okay?

00:15:31.000 Not exactly into that whole world.

00:15:34.000 But this is really interesting because now you have Joy Reed being the corporate spokesperson and Nikki Minaj is pushing back.

00:15:41.000 Nikki Minaj is pushing back and she said, where's the tweet that she said against Joy Reed? 1.00

00:15:48.000 She basically said that you're an anti-Semite and all of this sort of fighting here.

00:15:54.000 But Nikki Minaj realizes one thing.

00:15:56.000 She realizes that the freedoms you surrender today and the freedoms, the freedoms that you surrender today are the freedoms your grandchildren will never know existed.

00:16:08.000 Let me say that again.

00:16:09.000 That the freedoms that you surrender today are the freedoms your grandchildren will never know existed.

00:16:17.000 So Nikki Minaj goes full 10 out of 10. 1.00

00:16:20.000 I'm not even going to read the whole tweet where she says, you are a lying, homophobic C-word. 1.00

00:16:26.000 I guess I can just join in the reindeer games too, right? 0.99

00:16:29.000 People can go on TV and lie on me.

00:16:32.000 I can report on them too, though, right?

00:16:34.000 Doesn't have to be truths.

00:16:35.000 It can be hat truths.

00:16:36.000 Uncle Tommy Tamiyana asked who on earth would trust the US FDA guys.

00:16:42.000 What Nikki Minaj is doing, whether she realizes it or not, is Nikki Minaj is actually articulating a rather prudent and common sense position that our federal health agencies have been lying to us for the last couple years.

00:16:57.000 They've lied to us in years past. 0.54

00:16:59.000 They were involved in forced sterilization of idiot women in the 1920s based on a vaccine ruling that was done in the early 1900s. 1.00

00:17:08.000 We're going to dive into that actually at a different episode at a different time and how the Supreme Court set the precedent for mass sterilization of 60,000 idiot women. 0.99

00:17:16.000 So Nikki Minaj is saying, who would possibly trust the health agencies? 1.00

00:17:20.000 You're the idiot if you actually trust the FDA. 1.00

00:17:23.000 Never thought I'd say this, but she's right. 1.00

00:17:28.000 Do you know what big tech and big government have in common?

00:17:30.000 They both want to silence any dissenting voices into submission.

00:17:34.000 Let's say you're a proud gun owner and want to talk on social media about the right to bear arms.

00:17:38.000 Well, chances are your post will be flagged by a content moderator and you might end up on some government watch list.

00:17:44.000 To fight back against having your voice censored by both big tech and big government, I recommend ExpressVPN.

00:17:50.000 You see, the problem with big tech is not only do they censor you, but they also track what you do online, what you're searching for, the videos you watch, and everything you click on.

00:17:58.000 They can match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address.

00:18:03.000 When I use ExpressVPN, they can't see my IP address at all.

00:18:07.000 My identity is anonymized by a secure VPN server.

00:18:10.000 Plus, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of my internet data for protection from hackers and eavesdroppers.

00:18:16.000 ExpressVPN is by far the best VPN I've tried.

00:18:19.000 It's the VPN rated number one by CNET, TechRadar, and countless other tech publications.

00:18:24.000 And what I love most about ExpressVPN is it couldn't be easier to use.

00:18:27.000 The VPN that I trust, and you guys should do it.

00:18:30.000 It's so simple.

00:18:31.000 So stop letting big tech and big government censor and track you.

00:18:48.000 With us now is a friend of mine who I have endorsed and Turning Point Action has also endorsed running for Senate in Ohio, the great JD Vance.

00:18:59.000 You guys should all check out his website.

00:19:02.000 I think it's jdvance.com.

00:19:03.000 I don't want to say it out of turn.

00:19:05.000 But JD, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:19:07.000 How you doing?

00:19:08.000 I'm good, man.

00:19:08.000 Thanks for having me.

00:19:09.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:19:09.000 It's JDvance.com.

00:19:11.000 You bet.

00:19:12.000 So JD, you've been very outspoken about the vaccine mandates, and it is jdvance.com.

00:19:18.000 So make sure you check it out, jdvance.com.

00:19:21.000 Talk about the vaccine mandates and how people should respond to them.

00:19:25.000 Well, look, what I've called for is basically mass non-compliance.

00:19:29.000 Because I think if people ignore the order, it's impossible to enforce.

00:19:34.000 The Biden administration can't come after hundreds of thousands of American small and medium-sized businesses.

00:19:40.000 What they can is come after a few hundred.

00:19:43.000 And so.

00:19:44.000 Yeah, and I don't even think they're constitutional, but it's long past time that people start to actually push back in their own individual way.

00:19:52.000 I also want to announce that JD Vance has been endorsed by Josh Hawley.

00:19:57.000 That came out this morning.

00:19:58.000 Senator Hawley has endorsed JD Vance, which is terrific.

00:20:02.000 So just talk more generally, JD, that if you become senator, what should the federal government be doing here?

00:20:10.000 What should a Republican Party that is emboldened do to actually protect their voters against these vaccine mandates?

00:20:18.000 Well, I think that we have to make these corporations feel economic pain if they're going to do it, because a big part of the vaccine mandates is not just the federal government.

00:20:27.000 It is the big multinational corporations.

00:20:30.000 And I think you can even make a good argument that the actions of the big corporations emboldened the Biden administration to require these vaccine mandates.

00:20:38.000 So I think we really have to be punitive towards the private corporations, or at least the pretend private corporations that are basically taking away people's rights to medical autonomy.

00:20:50.000 And that's one of the things we have to do to protect our voters.

00:20:52.000 And I think a whole host of issues.

00:20:56.000 And what I love about Hawley's time in the Senate is that he shows that you don't always have to, as a Republican, bend the need of big business.

00:21:03.000 In fact, if you always do that, you may very often make it harder for middle-class Republicans, conservatives, and Americans to live a good life.

00:21:11.000 And that really is the challenge: we are seeing inflation go up, wages stagnating.

00:21:17.000 And I agree, Senator Hawley has really kind of changed the entire way that we communicate with a lot of these ideas.

00:21:25.000 Can you talk about, JD, can you talk, JD, about how major companies actually benefit from this vaccine mandate?

00:21:34.000 About how these massive corporations, they were worried that there might have been another labor pool being created through competition, which is something you and I appreciate and want to see more of.

00:21:45.000 But when you mandate something from the federal government, it's actually a bailout so that these massive corporations, they no longer actually have to compete to keep their own labor.

00:21:55.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:21:56.000 It gives workers less power.

00:21:58.000 Think about this.

00:21:59.000 If you are unvaccinated and you want to switch jobs from one place to another, these vaccine mandates effectively make it impossible.

00:22:08.000 What does that do?

00:22:09.000 That empowers the corporations to be able to control their own workers, control the labor market even more than they already do.

00:22:17.000 And what I find so interesting about the political tactics of the modern left is they are all about rewarding their friends and punishing their enemies.

00:22:26.000 I think you see this certainly with the inflation and spending conversation.

00:22:30.000 You're right, inflation is hammering American workers right now, especially those who lived on a fixed income.

00:22:37.000 But one of the things they're also doing on the left is with this tax bill, they're not just cutting taxes on some people and raising taxes on other people.

00:22:46.000 They're going to cut taxes on their friends and raise taxes on normal, middle-class, conservative Americans because that's what they do. 0.99

00:22:56.000 And I worry that the Republican Party, the establishment folks, often get caught in this loop of, well, we want tax cuts, not tax increases.

00:23:05.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats are playing a totally different game.

00:23:08.000 So one thing we could do in response is say, well, if you want tax increases, why don't we tax the Ford Foundation?

00:23:14.000 Why don't we tax the Harvard University endowment? 0.87

00:23:17.000 If they're going to play the game of rewarding their friends and punishing their enemies, we should return like fire and kind.

00:23:23.000 Well, I totally agree with that.

00:23:24.000 Some Republicans, though, J.D., think that we still are living in the 1980s where both sides are just going to kind of harmonize with one another and they might disagree on tax policy, but move on.

00:23:35.000 Are you saying that we now kind of have to enter this new chapter of how we do politics in our country where we have to be committed to winning?

00:23:43.000 It's a doctrine of trying to, quite honestly, save the country, and we have to now entertain other means if necessary.

00:23:51.000 Is that what you're saying?

00:23:53.000 And can you build out kind of the philosophical basis for that?

00:23:57.000 Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.

00:23:59.000 And the basis for this is pretty simple, which is that the Democrats have merged public and private power.

00:24:08.000 Republicans are terrified of using any power, but Democrats are using it in the private sector and in the public sector.

00:24:14.000 Let me just give you one example.

00:24:16.000 I talked to a guy recently in the state of Ohio, a medical doctor, successful, well-to-do guy, who is worried about losing his job because he is speaking up at his hospital about gender reassignment therapies, hormonal therapies, chemical castration, and even surgeries for children.

00:24:34.000 Republicans have two choices here.

00:24:37.000 We can ignore this and allow a pretend private company to force radical gender ideology on our kids and experiment on kids in the process, or we can actually use the power given by our Constitutional Republic to the people to push back against this madness. 1.00

00:24:55.000 And I think the answer for what we should do is obvious if we want to live in a society where children are experimenting on.

00:25:02.000 And so the question really is, are we going to have a Republican Party that is willing to actually be able to push back against this kind of bipartisan corporate oligarchy?

00:25:14.000 And one of the great examples of it, and I don't know, you could help me unpack this, JD, because I'm not even sure how to process all of it, is you have the $35,000 a ticket Met Gala last evening where no one is wearing a mask, no one is social distancing, and then you have Alexandria Casio-Cortez with a dress that says tax the rich, which I'm not even sure how to process that.

00:25:41.000 Is she saying that to, I think what she's really saying, though, is, you know, tax the rich Republicans and we're going to give carve-outs to the Democrats that are here at the gala.

00:25:51.000 Because I think deep down, no one was deeply offended by that when they attend and they see that because they say, oh, they're going to exempt us.

00:25:59.000 How do you process that, JD?

00:26:00.000 I saw you tweeted about it last evening.

00:26:02.000 Well, that's exactly right.

00:26:04.000 They know that AOC is not going to raise their taxes because if they did, they wouldn't like her.

00:26:11.000 But they recognize that in fact, she's going to build a hyper-globalized economy that punishes American workers through mass immigration and free trade. 1.00

00:26:21.000 They're going to benefit from it.

00:26:23.000 And when they come to raise their taxes, AOC will be standing there saying, no, these are the good people.

00:26:28.000 Don't raise their taxes.

00:26:29.000 Only raise taxes on the small, mean, bad Republican businessmen and women. 1.00

00:26:35.000 That's the game that they're playing.

00:26:36.000 And you're exactly right.

00:26:37.000 Nobody was wearing masks, which reveals the hypocrisy with one exception, the workers.

00:26:43.000 The workers were wearing masks, and it's a perfect encapsulation for this entire COVID sham theater, that the workers, the little guy, the normal people get exposed to the rules.

00:26:54.000 They are forced to follow the rules. 0.79

00:26:56.000 And the people in their ridiculous dresses, they don't have to do anything because they're above the law. 0.85

00:27:01.000 Of course, COVID doesn't come for the big dollar donors to the Metropolitan Art Museum. 0.73

00:27:07.000 And the kind of, I don't even know the right word is provocative, but just kind of the contradiction of AOC wearing the tax the rich dress while it's $35,000 a ticket.

00:27:21.000 It's almost this fake populism, isn't it, JD?

00:27:24.000 It's like, I'm going to go into the rich people's house and tell them to tax the rich.

00:27:29.000 But that's not at all what was happening.

00:27:31.000 She was a darling of the ball, right?

00:27:34.000 She was part of that kind of ruling cabal.

00:27:37.000 It's kind of this fake fight against the elites, right?

00:27:41.000 It's the girl who pushed Amazon out of New York, right?

00:27:45.000 Allegedly, but she's actually the one that's now, you know, being whined and dined by the very same people that she says she hates. 0.57

00:27:52.000 A true revolutionary never would have showed up to the Met Gala at all.

00:27:57.000 A true revolutionary wouldn't have worn some sort of dress that says tax the rich. 0.99

00:28:01.000 It would have been in the streets chanting with the worker.

00:28:04.000 I'm being, of course, somewhat sarcastic, but it is that perfect example, just like Nancy Pelosi's fundraiser, where all the workers are wearing masks outside while Nancy Pelosi and her almost all-white donors are talking about how systemically racist the country is while they're being served a $2,000 bottle of wine.

00:28:23.000 Same with Gavin Newsome at French Laundry.

00:28:25.000 But JD, isn't it also incumbent on us to try to break this mentality in the Republican Party?

00:28:31.000 Because the Republican Party sure seems to be plagued with the same sort of ruling class ideology in certain pockets of it, absent candidates like yours and Donald Trump.

00:28:42.000 Yeah, I worry about this because so many folks in the Republican establishment have not woken up to the fact that this is not a big government, small government moment.

00:28:52.000 This is a moment of do we live in an oligarchy or do we live in a republic?

00:28:57.000 And we see this with the vaccine mandates where a lot of Republicans have defended the vaccine mandates coming from private corporations under the guise of their private companies so they get to do whatever they want to.

00:29:11.000 Well, first of all, that's totally fake.

00:29:13.000 They benefit from a number of special privileges.

00:29:16.000 They're chartered by the U.S. government.

00:29:19.000 They have legal liability protections that no individual or no family in our country actually enjoys.

00:29:25.000 We also saw this, by the way, Charlie, with the gender ideology stuff when social conservatives, when religious people demanded that we stop the madness of experimenting on children, trying to change their genders before they even hit puberty.

00:29:40.000 What did the Republican establishment say?

00:29:43.000 We can't do anything about this.

00:29:44.000 What did the Chamber of Commerce say?

00:29:46.000 This is an infringement on private decision-making.

00:29:51.000 Well, I'm sorry.

00:29:53.000 If it means protecting children, I'm more than willing to infringe on private decision-making.

00:29:57.000 If it means not living in a corporate oligarchy, I'm more than happy to infringe on private decision-making.

00:30:03.000 We are in a new moment.

00:30:04.000 It's oligarchy or republic.

00:30:06.000 It's time for us to choose republic.

00:30:08.000 I totally agree.

00:30:09.000 JDvance.com, everybody, check it out.

00:30:12.000 And I'm going to be in Cincinnati in a couple of weeks to help JD close September strong.

00:30:17.000 JD, keep up the great work in the wonderful state of Ohio.

00:30:20.000 I'm sorry about the buck guys, but besides that, I'm sure everything is going well.

00:30:24.000 So, JD, great to talk to you.

00:30:25.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:30:26.000 Thanks for having me.

00:30:27.000 JDvance.com.

00:30:28.000 Check it out, everybody.

00:30:31.000 I often talk about the crushing debt and lack of jobs that come with the broken college system in our country and how entering a trade or vocational school can provide great career opportunities where you are, and skills will always be in demand.

00:30:44.000 I want to talk to you about a good friend of mine, a great American, who runs an organization called the American Institute of Non-Destructive Testing.

00:30:54.000 Maybe you're looking for a career.

00:30:56.000 Maybe you just graduated high school.

00:31:42.000 So, non-destructive testing is where you are inspecting America's critical infrastructure.

00:31:47.000 Let me tell you why this is important.

00:31:50.000 It's recession-proof.

00:31:52.000 Even if the economy goes down, things we already have need to get inspected.

00:31:56.000 Critical infrastructure needs to be looked at.

00:31:58.000 Rocket ships need to be looked at.

00:32:00.000 Nuclear plants need to be looked at.

00:32:01.000 And guess what?

00:32:02.000 The people going into non-destructive testing needs to go up because so many people are retiring.

00:32:07.000 There's a huge opportunity out there for you.

00:32:09.000 Their program consists of six months online education, followed by three weeks at the American Institute campus, using state-of-the-art inspection equipment such as ultrasonics, capturing x-rays, and producing magnetic fields to inspect critical components to ensure their safety and reliability.

00:32:28.000 I want you to know that Don Booth, the CEO, is a patriot, and his whole team cares about the future of every single graduate.

00:33:22.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:33:23.000 Welcome back.

00:33:25.000 AOC at the Met Gala.

00:33:27.000 She wore a tax the rich dress, all white dress with lettering, red lettering, tax the rich.

00:33:35.000 AOC has never been a working woman's representative.

00:33:38.000 Sure, she worked at a bar and she was a bartender. 1.00

00:33:42.000 AOC has lived a rather pampered life.

00:33:44.000 She grew up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood.

00:33:48.000 She went to a private school.

00:33:51.000 She has been the darling of the base of the Democrat Party.

00:33:54.000 She has controlled opposition to try to make it seem as if there is a war being waged against the corporate oligarchy when in reality there isn't. 0.99

00:34:04.000 Left-wing activists are being played for fools. 0.98

00:34:09.000 So here's a really good question. 0.99

00:34:11.000 If the tickets are $35,000 a piece, who paid for her ticket?

00:34:16.000 The only explanation could possibly be her campaign paid for the ticket.

00:34:21.000 Her campaign paid the $35,000 for her to go to the Metropolitan Gala.

00:34:27.000 So nothing says like trying to wage a war for working people against the ruling class than to go whine and dine amongst them. 0.99

00:34:37.000 Cut 32, she says we need to really start having a conversation about what it means to be a working class woman at the Met.

00:34:43.000 Cut 32.

00:34:44.000 When Aurora and I were first kind of partnered, we really started having a conversation about what it means to be working class women of color at the Met.

00:34:55.000 And we said, you know, we can't just play along, but we need to break the fourth wall and challenge some of the institutions.

00:35:02.000 And, you know, while the Met is known for its spectacle, we should have a conversation about it.

00:35:10.000 You look at kind of the imagery behind it and you look at the ridiculous outfits.

00:35:14.000 And by the way, this guy, Lil Nas, was there.

00:35:16.000 I think he was there wearing some sort of stormtrooper thing.

00:35:19.000 Have you noticed how his career has actually become more relevant after he did the blood-stained Satan shoe?

00:35:25.000 Isn't that just kind of interesting?

00:35:27.000 I also have found it interesting about how the Texas Democrats are counting on the Church of Satan to try and protect abortion.

00:35:36.000 When Satan is on the side of your political party, you probably should reconsider your public policy decisions.

00:35:43.000 I am proud to say the Church of Satan hates the conservative movement.

00:35:48.000 That gives me great peace.

00:35:51.000 AOC says, I think it's important because when we talk about a fair tax code, the conversation is between working and middle class people.

00:35:57.000 I think it's time to bring all classes into a conversation about having a fair country.

00:36:01.000 But she, she just wants to be part of Penem's elite. 0.85

00:36:06.000 She wants to be at the highest level of the hunger games.

00:36:11.000 For her, she's in the capital.

00:36:14.000 She doesn't really care about working people.

00:36:16.000 Of course not.

00:36:17.000 And whatever tax code increase they'll have, there will always be carve-outs.

00:36:22.000 Carve outs for green energy, you see?

00:36:24.000 Carve outs for solar panel construction.

00:36:28.000 Play cut 33.

00:36:30.000 I think it's incredibly important because when we talk about supporting working families and when we talk about having a fair tax code, oftentimes this conversation is happening about working and middle class people about themselves.

00:36:44.000 And I think it's time that we bring all classes into the conversation of having a fair country.

00:36:50.000 Thank you so much.

00:36:51.000 I will say it's a public relations masterpiece what she did in the sense that she pretends that there is this revolution against the ruling class when in reality she's a member of it.

00:37:08.000 It's this kind of fake simulated revolution that the left, they are experts at.

00:37:16.000 So the question is, how did she pay for this?

00:37:19.000 Well, it's because New York City elected officials are regularly invited to attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing our city's cultural institutions that serve the public.

00:37:32.000 I was one of several in attendance.

00:37:33.000 Oh, okay.

00:37:34.000 So you don't pay the $35,000, but it is your duty to go oversee the cultural institutions.

00:37:41.000 Now, the real question is this.

00:37:43.000 Who wore it better?

00:37:44.000 Chick-fil-A or AOC?

00:37:47.000 Who wore it better?

00:37:48.000 The chicken sandwich or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

00:37:53.000 I don't know.

00:37:54.000 Now, I'm not a fan of Chick-fil-A, obviously, as they fund abortion groups.

00:37:59.000 But I don't know.

00:38:00.000 I think Chick-fil-A's got her beat on that. 1.00

00:38:03.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:38:04.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:38:07.000 More coming up soon.
