The Charlie Kirk Show

The Jim Crow South tried to destroy MLK's reputation by arresting him. Instead, they sent his population soaring to new heights. Could Donald Trump benefit the same way? Rich Baris joins Charlie to talk about Donald Trump's rising political strength in the face of non-stop lawfare, and weighs in on the potential of the Glenn Youngkin presidential run many Never Trumpers are now hoping for.

How many people died in Maui's devastating fire? The blaze ended more than a week ago, yet the death toll has been frozen in place while a thousand people remain missing.

Sortor joins Charlie to discuss the systematic harassment and sabotage he has faced in his search for the truth. Plus, Mike Lindell discusses his decentralized plan to allow ordinary Americans to police the security and integrity of voting machines in the 2024 election.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Left has long planned to use trumped-up indictments to lock President Trump out of the White House. Now, they’re unveiling their backup plan: Claiming that swing state Democrats can simply kick Trump off the ballot, no hearing necessary. Charlie lays out this new threat, and describes the dramatic counterattack that might be necessary to stop it.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most monumental Americans in history. But what was his essence? Was he a conservative, a progressive, a nationalist, or a populist? What did his friends think of this larger-than-life figure? And was his 1912 presidential run responsible for accidentally unleashing 20th century liberalism? Charlie talks to historian and Roosevelt biographer Rick Marshall about how conservatives should view this momentous president more than a century after his death.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

News broke Friday, courtesy of left-wing rag The Nation, that James O'Keefe is under investigation for supposedly "looting" Project Veritas. The left's prosecution machine is clearly running at full steam, so Charlie asks, once again, why no Republicans are stepping up to investigate and indict the obvious scam of Black Lives Mattter. Then, Charlie describes how Donald Trump can make the most of the Republican debate next Wednesday even if he's not in attendance.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why did the Fulton County indictment come down at nearly midnight, rather than having the grand jury finish up the following day? Newt Gingrich joins Charlie with a bombshell: An inside source who tells him that the entire indictment has been stage-managed by top Democrats in Washington, D.C. Newt also talks about the coming "generations of bitterness" as America drives toward its worst constitutional crisis since the Civil War.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fani Willis is mounting an unprecedented legal assault on Donald Trump and core American constitutional rights, while going easy on other suspects like the rapper "Young Thug." But wait a minute...Georgia has a Republican state government! State senator Colton Moore joins Charlie with his plan for an emergency special legislative stopping Willis in her tracks. Plus, Sen. Ron Johnson reacts to the questionable choice of David Weiss as a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden — and Charlie explains why Johnson should be on Donald Trump's VP shortlist.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The smoke is still clearing from the catastrophic fire on Maui. The left was quick to blame global warming, but the truth is very different: The fire was actually exacerbated by a deadly mixture of liberal ideology and incompetence. Charlie lays out the reality of the fire, then explores the latest revelations stemming from Fani Willis’s unprecedented, unconstitutional indictment in Georgia.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Superficially, the "Everybody Votes Campaign" was a nonpartisan effort to encourage civic participation in America. In reality, it was a $100 million dark money effort to boost only Democratic turnout — and it might have made the difference in 2020. Investigative reporter Parker Thayer explains his work exposing the Everybody Votes Campaign and how it violated federal tax laws. Plus, Senate candidate Bernie Moreno explains what the priorities of a Republican senator need to be in a post-Fulton indictment world.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What can GOP AGs and DAs do in the wake of the Fulton County indictment? Quite a lot, according to former Trump aide and America First Legal founder Stephen Miller.

It's been two years since the worst American humiliation since the fall of Saigon: The sudden and total collapse of the America government in Afghanistan, the triumph of the Taliban after 20 years in war, and the desperate evacuation of the last U.S. personnel from the Kabul airport. Now, Jerry Dunleavy and James Hasson have a new book, "Kabul," giving the untold story of that disaster, and how the blame for that disaster rest squarely on the shoulders of President Joseph R. Biden.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Darren Beattie of Revolver News joins to explain the spirit of cowardice gripping the right, and why purging that spirit is essential to have any hope of victory. Plus, it is a principle of history that whoever controls the food supply controls the world.

The death rate for young adult Americans, the people who are supposed to be in peak physical health, has surged abruptly over the past few years. In fact, the surge matches almost exactly with the rollout of Covid vaccines — and vaccine mandates — in early 2021. So when will public officials finally allow people to ask whether the obvious cause is the actual one? Charlie speaks to Dr. Pierre Kory about his op-ed on this surge in deaths, as well as a recent FDA admission that doctors are free to prescribe Ivermectin. Plus, Alan Dershowitz responds to the imminent fourth indictment of Donald Trump, which may be the most outlandish one yet.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happened to Fox News? What happened to Ron DeSantis? It turns out the answer to those two questions is closely linked, as Steve Bannon explains during a conversation with Charlie at the Turning Point Action Conference. Bannon describes how the right has evolved to be more decentralized, more informed, and more alert — and that means the power of big institutions to dictate the narrative is weaker than ever before.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PragerU has created hugely successful videos that focus on actual history rather than fake, CRT-infused history. Now they've been approved for Florida schools, and the left is going absolutely berserk, and frantically fighting to protect their ideological monopoly over education. Charlie speaks to PragerU head Marisa Streit to debunk the lies about them. Then, Glenn Beck discusses why he is so upset about the FBI gunning down an old man after making anti-Biden threats, when they could have easily arrested him without any danger to anybody.

What's the left's plan for ruling America permanently? The fate of the GOP in Michigan provides the blueprint: A flood of dark money, shady "get out the vote" efforts that go uninvestigated, and the criminalization of any kind of organized opposition.

From colleges to the courts, from bureaucrats to the business world, every institution in America screams out, loudly: America is not the country it used to be, and conservatives have to watch out. So why are so many of them, even top donors, in denial? Why do so many have faith in institutions that openly loathe them?

Matt Gaetz has a wild idea for how the GOP can back up Donald Trump against Jack Smith's politically-motivated crusade: Bring Trump in to testify before the House as a whistleblower, thereby triggering certain preexisting immunity protections. Does it really work that way? Gaetz says that doesn't matter. What matters is that instead of folding instantly, Republicans must learn to fight.
