The Charlie Kirk Show

Tuesday night wasn't great for the GOP. That's the bad news. The good news: The Democrat Part is in its own catastrophic crisis as well.

A new poll from the New York Times shows Donald Trump crushing Biden by 5-10 points in key swing states — and even more incredibly, he's doing it with a coalition of non-white voters. The left is panicking, the right is celebrating, but Charlie is cautious: He lays out why the poll shouldn't inspire overconfidence, but should instead motivate 12 months of hard work to ensure victory in 2024.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is America changing Ilhan Omar for the better, or is she changing America for the worse? This crucial question is the heart of Charlie's remarks at Missouri State University in Springfield. Because all men may be created equal, but not all cultures are, and if America is letting in an unlimited number of people from toxic cultures, the long-term effects will be devastating. Loving America, Charlie explains, starts with caring about who is let into America.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats know that Donald Trump can win in 2024, and the odds of him doing so are rising every day.

Mike Davis of the Article III project discusses a major bid to take out Trump in Colorado, which could soon be copied nationwide. Plus, Rep. Jim Jordan helps lay out the latest findings from James Comer exposing foreign oligarch's payments to "the Big Guy."Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Facts don't care about your feelings." It's a great line for winning men over to conservatism — but is it alienating women? Alex Clark and Charlie discuss a jarring poll where more than half of young women say that they don't want to date men who thinks there are two genders.

In less than four years, home prices have surged by 50 percent or more in many American cities. Interest rates are more than double what they were during the Trump years.

A country becomes who it imports. That's Charlie's key message in this episode. Mass migration from Islamic countries to Europe is slowly but surely making Europe resemble the Islamic world — and as Nigel Farage warns, if the West doesn't change course, we will soon be "a conquered country."

Hamas murders murders children en masse, rejects all peace overtures, and relentlessly lies. Yet the media constantly bolsters Hamas and repeats its narratives. Why? As Charlie explains to students at UT-San Antonio, it's for the same reason the media and the left support BLM. At the heart of leftism is a resentment culture, which sees the world as zero-sum and blames the wealthy and successful for the suffering of others. Instead of making better decisions, Hamas and BLM blame others for their failures, and so they guarantee further poverty and suffering for their followers.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Humanity lives in a time of unprecedented abundance. But instead of creating perpetual happiness, millions are ended up fat, addicted, stressed out, and miserable.

The West was once a self-confident defender of liberty, free expression, reason, and common sense. Now, according to Prof. Gad Saad, the West is dying of "ideological mind pathogens" that are causing it to commit suicide.
