The Charlie Kirk Show

The Maui fires were three weeks ago, but even now we don't know what caused the fire, how many people were killed, or even how many people are still missing. Covid commentator Ed Dowd is a longtime resident of the island, and joins in with his own assessment of the tragedy. Dowd and Charlie discuss how Maui reflects the ominous future of America, where the government fails to execute on more and more basic obligations. Plus, Michael Seifert talks about Dylan Mulvaney's repulsive persistence as a mascot of woke capital, and Dr. Dennis Black stops by to discuss pet health.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Sacks made a fortune in the world of business, but now he's becoming a louder and more assertive voice in the world of politics.

Plus, Charlie talks about his recent study of Machiavelli, and how feminism has decayed from a war against men to trying to transform women into men.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For decades, black Americans have been Republicans' white whale: If the GOP could get even 25% of the black vote, it would utterly remake the US electoral landscape, but it never happens. But could that finally be changing? Conservative black radio host Brandon Tatum explains the opportunity Republicans have in 2024, and how they should message to black voters to win success. Plus, John Solomon lays out the story of Joe Biden's fake government email address, and new memos indicating Biden's justification for firing Ukraine's top prosecutor was a lie.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday, top New Hampshire Republicans were investigating whether to kick Donald Trump off the ballot. Not anymore! After a very loud response from listeners like you, they are backing off. Charlie takes a victory lap, then launches into an exploration of the left's wider strategy for 2024, explaining how they are using trial dates and more to amass as many advantages as possible, and describing what Republicans must do to stand against this hazard.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you submit to tyranny and refuse to be courageous in your beliefs, you die a little death within your soul. The lesson: Don't submit, don't give in, and live a brave life instead of a simpering, cowering one. That's the message from Dr. Robert Malone as the latest "Covid variant" creeps up. Dr. Malone talks to Charlie about the real facts of the "Eris variant," the "died suddenly" phenomenon, and how to respond when your society's "experts" aren't worthy of the term.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Harrison Tinsley thought he could overcome the political differences in his relationship. Instead, those differences might destroy his son's life.

Plus, New Hampshire GOP Chairman Chris Ager responds to the push by fake "conservatives" to have Trump yanked off the state's ballot on behalf of Joe Biden, and Tyler Bowyer discusses his efforts to make election integrity a priority at the RNC.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's like a ritual chant from the left at this point: "Our democracy. Our democracy. Protect our democracy." But as Charlie makes clear, what they actually mean is nothing less than "Our oligarchy." Charlie lays out the left's backup plan for 2024: If unprecedented indictments can't keep Trump off the ballot, then they'll simply have him removed without any criminal conviction at all. Charlie explains the grave danger that the American republic is in, and what must be done to contain the threat.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Lindsay is one of Charlie’s favorite thinkers, and one of the world’s most interesting thinkers period. But how did he get his start? How did he become such an expert on Maoism, and how did he become famous by creating spoof papers ridiculing left-wing beliefs? And most importantly, what do you need to learn to properly resist academic mind viruses?

Georgia Republicans have an obvious step they can take to halt the lawfare against their party and their movement: Defund Fani Willis's office and her sinister partisan targeting of Donald Trump and his allies. So why aren't they taking that step by calling a special session to take action? Georgia state senator Colton Moore joins to discuss his struggle to drag his state's GOP in a positive direction. Plus, Trump attorney Alina Habba tells the tale of what happened on Thursday, and lays out Fani Willis's plan to not just send Trump to prison, but to sabotage his campaign for 2024.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Strike him down, and he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. That's the energy one day after Fani Willis made a big mistake by forcing President Trump to undergo a mugshot, instantly creating one of the most iconic images of this century — and perhaps any century. Charlie discusses the left's lack of self-control, and how their fanatical hatred of Trump has created a potent symbol for 2024.

Would YOU buy merchandise featuring Donald Trump's mugshot? Who wouldn't! Donald Trump is at his strongest when it's him against the world, and there is no moment that will capture that better than when he appears in Fulton County, Georgia to be arraigned as part of Big Fani Willis's plot to rig the 2024 election. Charlie talks to Trump co-defendant Rudy Giuliani and Citizen Free Press's Kane about the Georgia situation, and then Kane uses his sage wisdom to assess the winner's and (big, big) losers of Wednesday's debate.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The day after the first GOP debate for the 2024 cycle, Charlie has some strong opinions. He names a winner (and more importantly, the many losers), discusses the future of Ron DeSantis’s campaign, and touches on one of the biggest issues of the night— the audience. What's the point of a GOP debate that doesn't have an authentic GOP crowd? Was Wednesday night really a GOP debate...or just a wake for the GOP of old?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The regime is kicking up a new Covid scare, with a new variant coming from some new far-off place. Everyone knows what that means: New mask mandates are on the way, followed by lockdowns and then forced vaccines. As the threat rises, Charlie provides the three-word motto that will protect us from another wave of tyranny: Do Not Comply. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo joins in the discussion.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Dershowitz is fed up with his fellow "liberals." In the name of taking out Donald Trump, lunatics like Laurence Tribe are distorting the 14th Amendment, throwing out the rest of the Constitution, and demolishing whatever is less of America's democratic institutions. Alan joins Charlie for a remarkable segment where he suggests that if America's most famous left-wing legal minds were in his class today, he would advise them to quit law school entirely. Plus, in a world of swirling bad news, Charlie offers a whitepill: America's current high school and college students are getting more conservative, and are far braver than those of years past about saying it publicly. TPUSA Panhandle field representative Noah Durham discusses the immense gains Turning Point has made on America's campuses and how the rightward shift of young people could be the secret ingredient to a triumphant 2024.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.

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.
