The Charlie Kirk Show

Charlie takes the questions you email him at [email protected] including: What does Target's CEO think about their 10 billion dollars in lost value after a conservative boycott? Why are the LA Dodgers inviting anti-Catholic drag queens to a game? What do you do if you get a bad grade for saying "biological women?" How can you raise children to share your values?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TPUSA's Pastor's Summit was one of the largest gatherings of faith leaders in America, but it wasn't just for pastors. One of the event's highlights was a conversation on stage between Charlie and Catholic Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles. Charlies and Michael talk about Dante, the existence of Hell, the spiritual falsehood of the trans movement, and more.

Target has lost nearly $10 billion in market cap after the backlash to its radical transgender clothing, and executives are panicking. Allies of woke capital are retaliating by lying about Charlie and other Target critics. Charlie responds with a call to continue and intensify the boycott. Jack Posobiec joins to talk about the "Bud Light-ing" trend and how conservative boycotts are finally becoming as effective as the left's. Plus, Revolver News's Darren Beattie takes a look at Gov. DeSantis's record on big tech, how it might not be as inspiring as the governor's campaign surrogates argue, and the lessons it offers for other red states looking to curb tech's power.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The long run-up is over and the 2024 primary has now truly begun in earnest. Charlie walks through each of the GOP candidates, the money they are receiving, and how the powerful tribal loyalty enjoyed by Trump could negatively effect the careers of his foes. Then, he looks at the state of America three years since the death of George Floyd, and how nobody has suffered more from BLM than the black lives that it pretended to be saving.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

June is Pride Month, the most holy month of the year for the woke regime, and James Lindsay thinks that regime has a plan. Are the forces of woke ready for their "Drag Floyd" moment, and if so, what will it look like? Charlie and James have a far-reaching conversation on that, as well as what drives woke capital, the Marxification of education, and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Department of Homeland Security was created to combat foreign terrorist threats, but now it has fully shifted into targeting America's own people — and now, TPUSA itself is in the crosshairs. Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center joins to discuss newly-discovered DHS grants, which gave taxpayer money to an ANTIFA professor who advocates violence and censorship, and who directly links TPUSA to neo-Nazi groups. Plus, John Solomon of Just the News describes the FBI's latest transgressions in targeting Americans while blocking the Hunter Biden investigation, and discusses the possibility of House Republicans retaliating by refusing to renew the Patriot Act.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How much do first impressions really sway people’s opinions? We’re about to find out, after technical issues and a dull opening speech hampered Ron DeSantis’s long-awaited presidential announcement. Charlie and Andrew compare Ron’s announcement to Trump’s eight years ago, and those of other past presidential contenders, to unpack what the damage might be, what the governor’s strategy is, and what it means for 2024 and beyond.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie is in Nashville for TPUSA's Pastor's Summit, one of the largest gatherings of Christian leaders in America. Two of the attending pastors, Russell Johnson of The Pursuit and Jurgen Matthesius of Awaken Church, join Charlie to talk about the secrets to growing a faith community, resisting lockdowns, and spreading the message of Christ in the profoundly hostile cultures of Seattle and southern California.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you know that RADICAL Christian Charlie Kirk and his pastor thinks Jesus Christ will return to Earth to rule the world one day? Chances are you do, but Rolling Stone has a comical article treating this as big news. Charlie reacts, and also talks to Rich Baris about the state of the 2024 primary with DeSantis's official entry into the race. Plus, James O'Keefe became a conservative legend building Project Veritas from scratch. Now, in a matter of months, O'Keefe has built his new venture, O'Keefe Media Group, into a force of its own. He joins Charlie to talk about his plans for decentralized investigative journalism, where any conservative with a microphone can break a national scoop.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just hours ahead of Ron DeSantis’s official campaign announcement takes place with Elon Musk on Twitter, Charlie and Andrew break down the governor’s strategy: Can he beat Trump, should he have waited for 2024, and most importantly, who the heck is narrating his campaign announcement video?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2024 presidential election will probably be Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump...but will they be joined by third candidate, representing the D.C. uniparty? Could Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin make a run for the White House? Charlie and Tyler Bowyer talk about an idea that is more plausible than it sounds, as well as how GOP legislatures have more power than the realize to reshape their election laws. Plus, Rep. Byron Donalds talks about the high stakes of the Ukraine War, the debt ceiling, and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kari Lake on Tuesday announced that she will be helping Republicans fight fire with fire. If elections can't be secure, then she will ensure Republicans are at least as good at ballot chasing as the left is. But before her announcement, Kari joins Charlie to respond to a court ruling on her election challenge, and explain why she thought a Maricopa judge got the decision so wrong. Plus, with Target in a major crisis over its sale of "tuck-friendly" trans bathing suits, PublicSq CEO Michael Seifert joins to talk about the need to punish woke capital and reward companies that stand with conservative, Christian, and patriotic values.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The US is one week away from hitting the debt ceiling, and negotiations between House Republicans and President Biden are deadlocked. Charlie walks through the stakes, explains what kind of deal the GOP should look for, and explains why the GOP should not be afraid of cutting military spending if it means getting America's fiscal house in order.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Almost three times as many people voted by mail in 2020 compared to 2016. Yet instead of the ballot rejection rate going up, it went down — and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why. Charlie talks to Tracy Beanz about Kari Lake's battle for a new election in Arizona, the incredibly suspicious process of signature verification in the state, and what must change to prevent every future election from being sabotaged the same way. Plus, Charlie talks to Winning Team Publishing founder Sergio Gor, who is putting out proudly conservative books, including Charlie's own.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After more than half a year of fighting, Russia says it has captured the city of Bakhmut. Ukrainian President Zelensky, who once described the city as the turning point of the whole war, is now dismissing it as irrelevant. What's really going on, what will happen next in the war, where has America's $100+ billion in aid gone, and most importantly, how do we end the conflict without putting American troops in danger or starting World War 3? Charlie breaks it all down with Col. Douglas Macgregor and Jordan Schachtel, author of the "Dossier" Substack.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie sits down for a deep, intellectual interview with MSCS Media, where he walks through the three pivotal movements the Left has used to take over the culture, and how Conservatives can reverse them. Charlie and MSCS dive into the Trump indictment, 2024, fatherhood, the #MeToo Movement, the beginning of TPUSA, and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things in Biden's America keep getting worse, yet for tens of millions of ordinary Americans, no alarm bells are going off. The culprit: Normalcy bias, which allows people to see the status quo as "normal" now matter how much it would horrify their grandparents, their parents, or even themselves just a few years ago. Plus, FBI whistleblower Garrett O'Boyle describes the rot inside the FBI, where it comes from, and how bureaucratic tyrants have tried to destroy his life and livelihood for stepping out of line.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The left tried to steal the 2016 election at the last minute with the "Hamilton Electors," and failed. In 2020, using Zuckerboxes, mass mail-in ballots, and Twitter censorship, the steal succeeded. The only guarantee in 2024 is that they will try again — but what will their strategy be? Charlie looks past the horse race news of the moment to try and determine what the left is wargaming in their secret strategy meetings. Then, Rep. Jim Jordan joins to discuss the latest findings of his House weaponization subcommittee.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Taylor Marshall, father of eight, is already the single most-viewed Catholic YouTube personality. Now, he's making a longshot run for the presidency. Dr. Marshall joins Charlie to explain why, and the two embark on a far-reaching conversation about shifting the Overton Window, protecting the family, and what the greatest threat to Christianity is today. For more than eighteen hundred years, the chief dangers to Christianity were external. In 2023, have hostile Roman emperors and menacing Islamic armies been replaced by your local cowardly, un-orthodox pastor?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The American Dream of safety, prosperity, and home ownership still exists...but does it exist in America anymore? Darren Beattie of Revolver takes Charlie on an around-the-world tour, comparing the affordability of other countries with how prices have spiraled out of control even in America's mid-tier cities. Plus, Darren assesses the best way for Tucker Carlson to come back into the limelight, and Jack Posobiec joins to discuss the Covenant School's effort to suppress the Nashville shooting manifesto, and how the Daniel Penny episode demonstrates the right's dramatically improved response to BLM frenzies.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The House Weaponization sub-committee has released an interim progress report, which exposes the dramatic and disturbing excesses of our own FBI. A bureau created to catch pimps and gangsters has now become a vast nationwide dragnet aimed at ordinary American patriots. Charlie discusses the committee's findings, and describes how the FBI began and how it grew into such a dramatic threat to American freedom and wellbeing.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just how strong is Trump's primary position as the summer approaches? And if he can't be beaten, then isn't the natural follow-up question "Who is the best VP pick?" Rich Baris breaks down the numbers, then he and Charlie break down the strategy. Plus, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene comes on to explain why she has proposed impeaching Chris Wray and D.C.'s federal prosecutor, and why Republicans ought to do it even if they have no hope of forcing them out of office.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kyle Rittenhouse, Daniel Penny, Douglas Mackey, and Is Fox News panicking about their post-Tucker ratings collapse? Is alternative media supplanting the establishment? And did Ron DeSantis take too long to announce his presidential run? Kane of Citizen Free Press joins Charlie to answer all those critical 2024 questions, and many more. Plus, Donald Trump Jr. endured bogus accusations of treason during the Mueller probe. Now, he hits back following the Durham Report's vindication, and Charlie breaks down how a new ranking of the America's best places to live obliterates the left's narratives on diversity as America's "strength."Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elon Musk may not be the perfect billionaire, but he's the one conservatives need right now. Musk is under fire from the media for taking on the villainous George Soros, and Charlie is here to hop into the foxhole alongside him. Charlie explains why Musk is valuable to the conservative cause, and why the media's cries of "anti-Semitism" when George Soros is the subject are so disingenuous and malicious.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the release of John Durham's report, there is no better time to revisit what happened in 2020 — How the same creatures who concocted the Russia hoax also suppressed the Hunter laptop, rewrote the election rules, and shut down anyone who tried to argue against them. Charlie talks to Rigged author Mollie Hemingway about how Durham vindicates her book, and then speaks to Joseph Fried about his own book finding countless red flags in the 2020 process.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adam Schiff lied about having hard evidence of "Russian collusion." Hillary Clinton sustained the lie for years to cover up her disastrous failed campaign. The FBI went along with all of this. So why didn't the Durham probe deliver any charges, and in the wake of that disappointment, what should Republicans do to create accountability? Charlie talks about that with Devin Nunes, who did so much to debunk the Russia hoax five years ago, and then talks to Julie Kelly about scandalous new revelations further undermining the January 6 inquisition.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Durham Report has arrived, and landed with a disappointing thud. Charlie goes through the report's contents, voices the frustrations of the GOP base, and does his best to extract some good news, with help from Kash Patel.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wokeness is death to everything it touches, and the American Christian church is no different. Eric Metaxas joins Charlie with a warning against the "spirit of timidity," which keeps Christian believers silent in the midst of unfathomable evil and depravity. Eric explains how separating faith and politics is fundamentally an anti-Christian perspective, and must be abandoned if both America and the church are to be saved.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For America to be revived, there must first be a revival of American men. Sen. Josh Hawley joins Charlie to discuss his new book Manhood, how the Bible offers many heroic male role models, and why the concept of "toxic masculinity" misses the mark so badly about what ails America. Plus, whistleblowing federal agent Stephen Friend describes how the FBI has been warped into a weapon aimed at Americans, with agents ordered to hit quotas on so-called "domestic terrorism."Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie is back, and ready to catch up on all the crucial events of the last week. He walks through the disastrous state of the southern border, where Title 42 has vanished and America may soon vanish along with it. Charlie exposes the lies of the left's border rhetoric, and exposes their real agenda behind enabling a constant flood across the Rio Grande — achieving the permanent, irrevocable transformation of America.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

U.S. policy under Joe Biden is increasingly making the term "illegal immigrant" nonsensical. When migrants are deliberately allowed into America, handed their own documents, smartphone, and a court date half a decade from now, in what sense are they not treated as legal immigrants — or even as superior to native-born Americans? Drew Hernandez joins the show from Yuma, Arizona, where the post-Title 42 farce is unfolding. Plus, Alex Marlow talks about New York making obesity a protected class, whether a larger GOP primary field helps or hurts Trump and DeSantis, and whether the GOP can use the border situation to make inroads with black America.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fentanyl overdoses, long hospital wait times, and high housing prices didn't come out of nowhere: Regardless of where you live, they're a product of your state being a border state. Because with the end of Title 42, every state is a border state. Senator J.D. Vance joins to discuss the disastrous impact of Biden's border plan on Ohio and the rest of America, and also touts a rare bipartisan bill to prevent future disasters like the East Palestine train derailment. Plus, Biden corruption expert Peter Schweizer bundles together all recent Biden corruption news, and gives his forecast for how a Republican House could force Hunter Biden to testify, or expose him to criminal charges for contempt of Congress.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Title 42 came to end, the deluge of illegals on the US border is hitting unprecedented levels, not just for America, but for perhaps any country in world history. Alex Marlow of Breitbart unpacks what the ramifications will be for all the listeners. He also speaks to 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy about his bold new proposal— raising the voting age to 25.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If America lets in the entire Third World, at which point does America become Third World itself? This is an increasingly pressing question to answer, as the end of Title 42 signals absolute anarchy along the U.S./Mexico border. Savanah Hernandez reports from ground zero of the border disaster in El Paso, and Cartel Chronicles author Randy Clark describes the no man's land of northern Mexico as cartels, killers, and human traffickers maneuver for dominance in a land the U.S. government has abandoned to its fate.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Chinese gems to Ukrainian board seats to amateur paintings selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars, the Biden family has been engaged in flagrantly corrupt behavior for years, yet somehow they always escape consequences. Why? And will they keep getting away with it forever? Guest host Alex Marlow talks about the Biden family's "good fortune" with Hunter laptop expert Emma-Jo Morris, and also goes through the comical establishment reaction to Trump's triumphant CNN town hall.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Trump’s CNN town hall Wednesday night, the Left is melting down, and the Right is more confident in Trump than ever before. Charlie calls in to guest host Alex Marlow of Breitbart to give his thoughts on Trump’s appearance, Tucker Carlson's next move, and the end of Title 42, which threatens to create an "immigration Pearl Harbor" at the Mexican border.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

These are supposed to be bad times for Trump: He just got indicted, GOP rivals have their knives out, and he's been ordered to pay out $5 million after one of the least justified lawsuits in living memory. But instead, Trump is looking stronger than ever. Rich Baris comes on to sum up recent polling which shows Trump dominating his rivals, and even doing better with women than with men. Plus, prosecutor Bud Cummins comes on to talk about getting hit with a retaliatory investigation after trying to warn about Biden family corruption.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For two years, DHS Secretary Mayorkas claimed the border was under control. Now, he claims the border calamity is the fault of Republicans for not passing "comprehensive reform" — in other words, an amnesty. Sheriff Mark Lamb helps unpack the preventable, deliberate apocalypse along the U.S.-Mexico border. Jack Posobiec joins with his take as well, and also talks about President Trump's continued resurgence in 2024 polling as well as Poland possibly reviving the death penalty.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even off the air, Tucker Carlson continues to dominate the news. His announcement that he will be reviving his show on Twitter has already collected more than a hundred million views.

George Santos, and the verdict in Trump's defamation lawsuit against "creepy sex journalist" E. Jean Carroll. Plus, Rep.

Tucker Carlson will be back, that much is certain. But what is the best path for Tucker to take as he returns to the air? Revolver's Darren Beattie makes a fascinating argument: The best step for Tucker, for conservatism, and for America would be for Tucker to host his own independent GOP debate. Plus, Riley Gaines joins with an update on the continued state-level success at protecting girls' sports from the transgender peril.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rep. James Comer has built up massive hype for a Wednesday press conference where he promises to present major evidence of money laundering and corruption by the Biden family, with the family receiving millions of dollars in return for favorable policy moves by the Big Guy himself. Andrew lays out what Comer says he have, what it would mean if true, and why conservatives should be careful not to become too excited too quickly. Plus, Rep. Andy Biggs explains why the U.S. may soon have fifteen thousand illegal immigrants sweeping across the U.S. border every single day.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the radical left takes aim at America's justice system, their "reforms" have led to a rapid increase in catch and release policing that has had a disastrous effect on America's big cities. On this episode, Producer Andrew is joined by author, professor and former Brooklyn Assistant D.A., Barry Latzer, to discuss his new book, ‘The Myth of Overpunishment’ as they compare America to El Salvador, brainstorm new and proven ideas to reduce crime, and discuss the danger behind America's lurch to the soft-on-crime nightmare we're currently living through.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Next he speaks with American Greatness columnist, Julie Kelly to walk through how the DOJ might have just convicted some Proud Boys for seditious conspiracy all in an elaborate effort to set up Donald Trump.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are witnessing a great American gaslighting. When the media is saying the Allen, TX mall shooter is a Hispanic White Supremacist, the border currently getting invaded is actually closed, and Jordan Neely, a man with 42 prior arrests including attempted kidnapping and assault is a "beloved street performer" there's something terribly wrong. Producer Andrew steps in for Charlie to cover the truth behind these misleading headlines while providing a critical update on the Southern Border and the end of Title 42. He is also joined by Mark W. Smith to discuss his book "Unarmed" and why the left's arguments following any tragedy always fall short of addressing the root cause of gun crime.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
