The Charlie Kirk Show

Twenty-two Americans are dead in Israel, and more have been taken hostage. In the past, conservatives would have thundered for full U.S. involvement in a brand-new war. But that was the past. What's the right response now? Charlie discusses the divide on the right about how to respond to the worst terrorist assault in nearly a quarter-century.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Washington is itching to use Hamas's atrocity to get two wars for the price of three, and send US troops off to die in Iran while still fully bankrolling Ukraine as well. How can America show support for Israel without getting itself into another ruinous war? Col. Douglas Macgregor gives his take and explains why after an atrocity letting reason prevail over emotion is more important than ever. Plus, the new war in Israel has thrown a wrench into the GOP leadership battle, with many Republicans demanding Kevin McCarthy get his job back. Matt Gaetz stops by to make his case against that.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's the proper, America-first response to the events in Israel? How do we avoid rushing into an overreaction, like we did in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks two decades ago? Vivek Ramaswamy joins the program for a full hour to take aim at the recklessness of war hawk neocons like Nikki Haley. Vivek also gives his solution to the long-term problem of Iran, draws the critical connection between terror attacks abroad and our wide-open border at home, and gives his dramatic plan for fixing an out-of-control FBI.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie took flak over the weekend for linking BLM radicalism to the murderers in Hamas. But in less than a week, he has been totally vindicated, as BLM, democratic socialists, and countless university groups declare their support for terrorist butchers. Charlie reacts, and walks through why it is natural for all these destructive movements to forge an unholy alliance against civilization and humanity.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are infinite worldviews available to us today. The one popular ones are nihilistic and radical, rejecting the entire idea of truth—unless that "truth" is actually a lie overturning thousands of years of common sense. In his remarks to the Texas Youth Summit, Charlie stands up fro the only worldview that holds water in our turbulent world: A Biblical worldview built on the idea of eternal, enduring, objective truths.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israel has existed for 75 years, and for every one of those years it has been in conflict with its neighbors. The new war in Gaza is larger in scope, but otherwise has much in common with past violence. So, is there any hope of ending the war for good, and if so what would it look like? Breitbart's Joel Pollak has some ideas. Plus, Steve Baker of The Blaze lays out the findings from a brand new wave of J6 footage.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special double episode, Charlie reacts to the shocking and horrifying events in Israel, where a surprise attack by Hamas has claimed nearly a thousand innocent lives, taken a hundred hostages, and driven Israel to declare its first war in half a century. Charlie explains what happened, what will happen next, and what the best posture for America is amid the chaos. Rabbi Daniel Lapin and Will Scharf weigh in on one of the clearest clashes between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism in living memory.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie takes the questions you emailed in at [email protected] including: -Is modern America a conquered country, and if so, conquered by whom? -Why is Joe Biden suddenly building a border wall? -Why is despair a sin? -Is Pastor Andy Stanley a heretic for his views on homosexuality?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Constitution guarantees equal protection of the laws, but just like the rest of our founding document, the left would rather ignore that. During his appearance at San Jose State University, Charlie rips into the evil of affirmative action, the left's system that promotes victimhood, encourages fraud, and ranks people based on skin color instead of ability. Charlie also takes questions on transgenderism, the politicized targeting of politicians by the DOJ, and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this latest THOUGHTCRIME featuring Charlie Kirk, Jack Posobiec, Andrew Kolvet, and Blake Neff, the crew explores varied questions like: -Is Donald Trump as House speaker a good idea, or just a funny one? -Is it okay to laugh when extreme liberals get killed by their own policies? -Is Columbus Day a worthy holiday honoring an all-time great figure, or just a sop to the 1800s version of BLM?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When legendary Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn delivered Harvard’s commencement address in 1978, the school’s leaders expected a stirring celebration on the West. Instead, they got a warning that their own countries were headed toward the same grim fate already suffered by Russia. Forty-five years later, Charlie lays out how Solzhenitsyn has been vindicated. As he foretold: "Men have forgotten God. That is why all these terrible things have happened."Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Four criminal cases have been brought against President Trump, yet somehow New York AG Letitia James’s civil suit against him is more sinister than all of them. One of the world’s last true liberals, Alan Dershowitz, explains just how sweeping and tyrannical the bid to seize Trump’s properties and dissolve his businesses is. Plus, Rep. Thomas Massie weighs in on the escalating civil war within the House GOP over the next speaker.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why does the Senate care so much about Ukraine, and so little about the border? Why does D.C. like to posture about China, but then does almost nothing to catch or punish Chinese spies? Sen. Josh Hawley joins Charlie to explore the "Vietnam Syndrome" that grips the uniparty ruling class. He also explains why he voted for the CR that brought down Kevin McCarthy, and discusses his new bill that would finally allow states to enforce immigration laws that the federal government prefers to ignore.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What sets the Biden Administration apart from prior Democrat administrations? More than anything, it's the administration's use of law enforcement to pulverize its political enemies, whether its Trump, his voters, or the colleges they like to attend. Grand Canyon University president Brian Mueller joins with an EXCLUSIVE breaking story of how Biden is viciously targeting his school due to its public role as America's largest Christian university. Then, Darren Beattie of Revolver joins with a brand-new blueprint for how Republican AGs can launch a MAGA legal counterattack at the state level.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are already at least three public candidates for the next Speaker of the House, and a dozen or more undeclared ones. Charlie breaks down the favorites, reacts to reports of Republican disunity, and explains what the party's priorities should be as the Speaker race ramps up. Charlie also looks back to 2014, discussing how the lessons of a prior GOP spat could be highly effective today.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We know what Joe Biden has done, but what makes him tick? How did a poor student from a poor family with poor speaking skills become such a dominant force of American politics? The truth, Breitbart's Alex Marlow reveals, is that the average person knows nothing about the real Biden. They only know a carefully cultivated myth created by an ugly man with a twisted soul.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump's civil trial in New York hasn't gotten the attention his four criminal indictments have. As Charlie explains, that should change. New York has brought a "fraud" case where there are no victims, and is establishing the blueprint to financially destroy any person who stands as an enemy of the regime. Plus, Rep. Bob Good, one of the eight Republicans who brought down Kevin McCarthy, explains his vote and who he wants to replace him. Former Detroit police chief James Craig touts his Senate bid, and explains the enormous damage Democrat crime policies are still inflicting on America.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time ever, a motion to vacate has toppled a House Speaker. Kevin McCarthy is out. So… what now? It’s unprecedented territory, and no one is really sure how to act — least of all Republicans.

For the first time in a hundred years, a motion to vacate has been brought against a House Speaker. Matt Gaetz has made no secret of his intention to topple McCarthy. But Charlie asks: What's the plan? Once McCarthy is gone, who replaces him? And what are the odds that Republicans get a disastrous outcome, like a lengthy power vacuum or, worse yet, a Speaker chosen by the Democrats? It's easy to say "burn it all down" — but what happens afterwards when we have to live in the ashes?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the unfolding House GOP drama a Shakespearian tragedy...or one of his comedies? Kurt Schlichter and Charlie react live as the House GOP votes on the fate of Kevin McCarthy. Will he be Speaker at the end of the day? Heck, will he make it to the end of this hour? Kurt gives his honest thoughts on how we got here, where we're going, and whether it makes you a "RINO" to think this is all one massive self-inflicted mistake.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The battle for the future of America's children has divided into two distinct camps: The party of America's parents, and the party of America's perverts. Pastor John Amanchukwu is one of the leaders fighting for the rights of parents and the innocence of children. Charlie chats with him, then talks to Dr. Eric Nepute, who just successfully won a multi-million-dollar staredown with the FTC for promoting a successful but less profitable preventative measure for Covid-19.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Dianne Feinstein’s passing, Gavin Newsom appointed a new Senator for California… except his appointee is from Maryland? But all the other boxes are checked: black, female, and lesbian!

Jamaal Bowman may have been creating a fake emergency when he pulled a Capitol fire alarm on Saturday — but make no mistake, there's a real crisis in Washington. Charlie reacts to the House's deal to avoid a government shutdown, which does nothing to cut spending, nothing to secure the border, and may only defund Ukraine long enough for Mitch McConnell to find even more money to give them. Charlie confronts the crucial question: Is Kevin McCarthy the GOP leader who can stop the financial bleeding?

Men, it turns out, are thinking about the Roman Empire all the time, so for this AMA, Charlie peppers producer Blake Neff with his own questions about the Roman Empire, such as: Why was Rome successful?

The press says America has "white privilege," but if that's the case, why does nobody lie about being white on college applications in order to get in? In reality, America does deliberately treat one group more favorably than other ones in hiring, school admissions, and more...and as Heather Mac Donald explains, it's not white people. Plus, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene takes a victory lap about a majority of Republican Congressmen now voting against additional funding for Ukraine.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

California Senator Dianne Feinstein has died, hanging on to her Senate seat until her very last breath at 90. The men who wrote our Constitution were in their 30s and 40s, so what does it mean when modern America has a geriatric ruling class that refuses to retire? Charlie explores that crucial topic, then speaks to one of America's youngest lawmakers in Rep. Matt Gaetz. The two of them get to the bottom of a key question: Will the government be shut down when Monday rolls around?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump ran on the slogan to "Make America Great Again." President Biden is obviously doing his best to not let that happen. So why are some Republican candidates arguing that the American Dream is better than ever?

Anna Paulina Luna talks about GOP's strategy for the newly-begun Biden impeachment push.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The biggest sticking point of the 9/30 funding showdown isn't Jack Smith or the border — instead, it's Washington's fanatical desire to funnel as much money as possible into the Ukraine maw. Sen. Rand Paul is one of the few people looking to stop it, and joins Charlie to discuss his battle.

Ken Paxton has survived his sham impeachment scare, and now he's back on the warpath.

After a judge tossed out murder charges against a cop, the streets of Philly convulsed with riots and looting just like the “mostly peaceful” incidents of 2020. Charlie explains who these riots fit into the "anarcho-tyranny" of Joe Biden's America, where the law is deliberately ignored, except for when it can be used against Donald Trump or his supporters.

Under Joe Biden, the cost of everything is rising nine, ten, even twenty percent in a given year. When does "transient" inflation become permanent inflation?

If America's largest companies can't even support basic free speech, why should we support them?
