The Charlie Kirk Show

Charlie does today’s show from the District of Columbia, which produces nothing yet has become America’s richest city thanks to the tribute forcibly extracted from the rest of the country. Charlie reflects on how the city’s relentless growth and glittering buildings mask deep moral and spiritual decay. Then, Charlie is joined by Senator Mike Lee to discuss his passionate tweets on NATO, Ukraine, and the hazards of American intervention abroad. Then, Charlie comments on Democrats’ angry reaction to MTG showing the one kind of porn they DON’T want American children to see: The smut taken from Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Why did so many American churches lock down? Why did so many Christian submissively keep their churches closed and the Gospel silent while liquor stores stayed open and BLM rioted in the streets? That critical topic is starting point for this hourlong discussion between Charlie and Dr. John MacArthur, pastor at Grace Community Church and protagonist of the new movie "The Essential Church," about the battle to reopen churches in the face of government threats. Dr. MacArthur also digs into how American Christians have become too effeminate, insufficiently masculine, and too vulnerable to consuming and repeating woke lies of the wider culture.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

America and Britain are the world's two great birthplaces of political liberty...and both are well on their way to becoming dystopian tyrannies. Brexit prophet Nigel Farage joins Charlie to talk about having his bank account closed due to his political opinions, and the greater danger of core rights being conditioned on political submission. Plus, Charlie reacts to the controversy around Jason Aldean's new song, and Darren Beattie joins to react to the stunning, fresh testimony of "Whistleblower X" before Congress.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a legal offensive that may be even more momentous than the indictment of Donald Trump, Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel has brought felony charges against 16 GOP electors who supported trump in 2020. Charlie goes all the way back to 1960 to expose the sinister nature of this prosecution, and how it represents escalated lawfare that threatens all conservatives and the very nature of our republic. Because the left's desire to crush and control doesn't end with Trump: It extends to each and every one of us.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Want to avoid junk food? Don't just try not to eat it; redefine yourself as "a person who doesn't eat junk food." That's just one of the pieces of advice from Vitaliy Katsenelson, who has distinguished himself as both one of America's top investors and one of its finest thinkers. Vitaliy joins Charlie to discuss stoicism, investing strategy, "thoughtful arrogance," the value of cold water, and more in a wide-ranging conversation.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The left warns that if Donald Trump wins the presidency again in 2024, he will use it to seek revenge on the federal government. But the question is: Is that even bad? Donald Trump Jr. joins to explain why "burning it all down" is the #1 reason (but far from the only one) to re-elect his father, and then reacts to Ron DeSantis's lamentably lukewarm response to the latest Jack Smith indictment. Plus, Rep. Russell Fry talks about the stunning House Oversight revelations corroborating IRS whistleblowers' claims of special treatment for the Biden family. Finally, Charlie reacts to a comical op-ed from the Arizona Republic trying to link him to the KKK.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just hours after his successful appearance at Act Con, President Trump learned that Jack Smith plans to bring charges against him over January 6. Charlie reacts, and explains why these charges are so much more dangerous than any others. Plus, Charlie talks about Cornel West, No Labels, and the possibility that a third-party presidential run could dramatically shake up the 2024 race.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Rufo has the #1 book on Amazon with his new chronicle of how critical race theory and cultural Marxism went from the fringes of American life to the country's ruling ideology. In three words: It's about Mao. Rufo digs into how extremists like Herbert Marcuse infiltrated schools, non-profit, and government, creating an alliance between elite intelligentsia and urban rioters to abolish America's past in the pursuit of a new dystopia. Then, he and Charlie turn to the crucial question of: How do we launch the counter-revolution, and turn it all around?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The biggest lesson of ActCon: It's better to confront challenges directly than to run away and hide from them. Ron DeSantis retreated to Iowa over the weekend, and is being punished for it, while Vivek Ramaswamy embraced the challenge, and is surging in the polls. Vivek joins Charlie to reflect on ActCon, and then continues his pattern of confronting challenges by responding to criticisms over his past interactions with the World Economic Forum. Plus, Rich Baris breaks down the dire financial position of the DeSantis campaign operation.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The day after the largest Turning Point Action event yet, Charlie recaps the entire weekend, from the amount of attendees that became precinct committeemen, the Secret Service debacle that caused massive delays, Donald Trump’s incredible speech, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly’s round tables, and the straw poll results that show where the grass roots movement really stands.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boycotts by the right are more successful than ever, but the biggest barrier to even more is finding alternatives for where to shop. PublicSq has been solving that dilemma, and now PublicSq is going public on the New York Stock Exchange, giving it even more visibility and allowing conservatives to invest directly in creating the parallel economy. Charlie talks to Michael Seifert about the company's latest evolution. Plus, Rep. Troy Nehls talks about the Wray hearing, and Charlie reacts to Friday's most viral moment — Tucker Carlson's systematic dissection of various GOP candidates in Iowa.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Internet erupts over Charlie’s latest comments on the new Snow White and affirmative action, Charlie refuses to back down an inch. He explains his views and brings out the receipts to show listeners the sick world America’s race hustlers want to build. Then, it’s on to Joe Biden’s major announcement on Ukraine, and the uselessness of any Republican Party that isn’t ready to stand against such a reckless policy.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is socialism a modern invention of Karl Marx and the French Revolution? Or does it have deep roots, which have always told the same lies in order to enslave people? Charlie goes into a deep exploration of ancient Greek and Roman history with historian Bill Federer, joined by Blake, the show's amateur history enthusiast. Bill explains how preserving liberty is a bit like trying to balance on top of a beach ball in a pool, and why it's so hard to topple a totalitarian monarchy once it has been created.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ray Epps is the only major figure on January 6 to be celebrated by liberals in Congress, profiled by the New York Times, and almost totally ignored by the DOJ. For two years, conservatives have pointed out this bizarre state of affairs. Now, Epps is responding with a defamation lawsuit, backed by some of the most sinister figures on the left. Plus, in a strange and horrifying twist, most American diaper companies are proudly pro-abortion. Charlie's friend Nick Ayers talks about the launch of EveryLife.com, a pro-life diaper maker, and also shares the incredible story of how he and his wife were told they would never have children, only to successfully have triplets.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are we a government run by the people, or a people run by the government? The people’s trust in the FBI has collapsed over the last eight years thanks to the Bureau's relentless attacks on conservatives. Yet despite mountains of evidence indicating otherwise, Director Chris Wray still insists that they are completely fair. Charlie responds to Wray’s testimony, joined by Rep. Matt Gaetz who excoriated Wray during yesterday's congressional hearing. The two also discuss the imminent Turning Point Action Conference just days away.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ancient world was one filled with spirits and deities around every corner. Today, people claim to believe in no gods at all...but is that true? Messianic Jewish Christian Jonathan Cahn argues that God exorcised demons and spirits out of the world with His incarnation, but now that people have turned away from God, the spirits are returning, and "possessing" America — perhaps literally. It's a fascinating conversation, exploring the roots of abortion, transgenderism, Pride Month, and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The conservative world will be fixated on south Florida this weekend for Turning Point Action, yet Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be far away. Raheem Kassam talks to Charlie about the message the snub sends, and whether DeSantis is too focused on the "Chamber of Commerce" primary ahead of the grassroots one. Then, Charlie gives his response to Tucker Carlson's ultra-viral super-interview with Andrew Tate, and then talks to a person very familiar with being systematically targeted by the law enforcement arm of the regime, former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parents in America already have to fret about their children’s schools, doctors, and TV programs. Now, a new story shows they have to worry about their summer camps as well. Charlie reacts, then covers the NATO summit, where Biden and Buds made it clear who is first in their hearts: The country of Ukraine and it’s slick ex-actor president.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A wave of news articles are warning that exercising and getting fit are inherently "right-wing." And guess what: They're right!

San Francisco's Scott Wiener is a one-man wrecking ball of California politics. He's making it easier to sexually abuse minors, lowering the penalties for intentionally spreading HIV, and enabling out-of-state parents to kidnap their children in the name of transgenderism. And along the way, he's making California less livable for anyone not able to leave. Laura Sextro of the Unity Project joins to profile the career of America's most prolific left-wing legislator — and ask why conservatives can't display the same aggressiveness in red states. Plus, Lauren Boebert discusses the House's latest findings as it investigates the sweetheart deal David Weiss gave Hunter Biden, and the evidence that Weiss and Merrick Garland are intentionally deceiving Congress.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jim joins Charlie for a rare interview to discuss his personal faith journey and why Sound of Freedom was suppressed by the film industry for so long. Plus, Charlie discusses which 2024 GOP candidates have turned down an invite to TP Action’s ActCon. He speculates as to why they made that choice, and why it could be a major strategic blunder.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years, the trans movement has targeted and purged every vestige of normalcy in America, until the country became so bizarre that the trans mania itself could present as normal. Dr. Miriam Grossman joins Charlie for an enlightening conversation on her new book, ‘Lost in Trans Nation,’ and it’s one you can’t miss. Also stopping by is Dan Steiner from PreBorn, to discuss the greatest cause of death our country has ever seen, the murder of the unborn in the womb. Steiner talks about the triumphs of the past year since the end of Roe v. Wade and how all of us can put in the effort to save more babies.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why did the Lancet scuttle a new report analyzing deaths after Covid vaccination? And why is so little attention given to the extremely healthy outcomes of Amish children, who have far lower rates of cancer, autism, and other medical problems? Dr. Peter McCullough says it's a matter of protecting "mass vaccination at all costs." He joins Charlie to discuss how recent events, and the Covid shot backlash, are helping to turn the tide of public sentiment. Plus, former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker lays out how unusual Hunter Biden's sweetheart deal from DOJ was, and then explores the follow-up question: Did Merrick Garland lie to Congress, and if so, how can he be held accountable?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Six years ago, the press shrieked about "kids in cages," now they shrug as tens of thousands of foreign children go missing in the American interior. A decade ago, the mainstream media celebrated Tim Ballard. Now, they moan that his hit movie is "Qanon propaganda." What happened, and what are elites so worried that Americans might learn from watching a single summer blockbuster?

He joins Charlie to talk about applying the Liz Cheney principle to the "third senator from Massachusetts."

Just as the mainstream media was starting to accept the Hunter Biden scandal, even more information has bubbled up. Is an Israeli national telling the truth about warning the FBI about the Bidens in 2019? Did the FBI cover it up? And by the way, who's doing cocaine in the White House?

Why is Vivek Ramaswamy now polling third in the GOP presidential field, ahead of countless seasoned politicians and just a few points behind Ron DeSantis? Maybe it's because he's focused on getting conservative political victories, instead of sniping at Donald Trump. Vivek joins Charlie to talk about being the only candidate to stand with Trump in Miami, dismantling the woke administrative state by firing people en masse, and how he would end the Ukraine war overnight by cutting the mother of all deals.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brace yourself: It turns out Joy Reid is a fraud. The woman we all assumed to be a giant of intellectualism has revealed that she only got into Harvard thanks to affirmative action. Charlie responds.

Why are teenaged school children the most depressed, unfit, clueless, and addicted in history, despite limitless prosperity? The root of the problem, Charlie says, is wisdom: Teachers lack it, and our schools don't care about teaching it. In his speech to the Turning Point educator's summit in Illinois, Charlie explains how schools must work to create "full-souled beings," not just people with a skill set for a global economy. It's a choice of Christian vs. secular, classical vs. modern, and good vs. evil.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As much as one-third of Congress did debate while in high school. Competitive debate is how future leaders are learning rhetoric and how to engage with issues. So it matters a lot that today's debate judges are promoting open racial discrimination, restrictions on free speech, and even the doxing of competitors' tweets and Facebook posts.
