The Charlie Kirk Show

Where did the trans tyranny come from, and how do we figh back? That's the chief topic on Charlie's mind during his speech at Destiny Church in Rocklin, California. Charlie lays out how Christians can stand up to a hostile culture, takes audience questions, and points the way forward in these spiritually challenging times.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happened to Chicago? Why did one of America's most decent, hard-working cities become infamous for corruption, decay, and hyper-racialized politics? Can it be saved — and if so, how? Charlie addresses the condition and fate of his hometown in an appearance at the University of Illinois-Chicago.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should the Air Guardsman who leaked troves of Ukraine war documents be considered a brave truth-teller? Should he be considered a traitor? Or is he just a kid who wanted to impress his friends online? No matter what the answer is, Charlie and his guests Kash Patel and MTG agree that the bigger villains are elites who have spent a year lying to the American people. Plus, Charlie reacts to reports that a top Democratic donor is trying to throw the GOP nomination to Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ukraine war leaks have badly embarrassed the American military establishment, but they're already planning how to take advantage, by expanding online surveillance and censorship. Another move to look forward to: A renewed push to pass the RESTRICT Act to increase federal power to regulation the Internet. Charlie debates with Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer, who gives his reasons for backing the bill.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Biden Administration's latest autocratic decree is a command that two-thirds of U.S. cards be electric vehicles by 2032. "Fossil Future" author Alex Epstein explains how this is an inexcusable attack not only on consumer choice, but also the U.S. power grid and overall American prosperity. Then, Kurt Schlichter joins Charlie for a discussion of how, in Joe Biden's 2023 America, nothing is normal anymore, and the system that older generations took for granted is already long gone.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A transgender extremist butchered three Christian children in cold blood, and the Biden administration has responded by celebrating transgenderism and demanding a gun grab.

Documentarian James Saccomano talks to Charlie about his program "Firearms and Freedoms," and why defending the 2nd Amendment is only becoming a bigger and bigger political winner.

Thanks to one user on a Discord chat server, the U.S. military has suffered its worst intelligence leaks in a decade.

If Christians want to win in the wider culture, then they must also compete in the wider culture. That's why BlazeTV's Steve Deace has helped produce, a Christian horror film releasing in theaters this weekend called Nefarious. Charlie and Steve talk about the film, C.S. Lewis, and whether more evil is done by those who worship Satan, or those who don't believe Satan exists.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the eve of Easter, the Biden Administration notified Catholic pastors at Walter Reed that their services were no longer needed. Instead, a secular for-profit company is being tasked with the same job. What is going on, and what is the administration's motive, if any? Charlie tries to get to the bottom of things with Congresswoman Mary Miller. Plus, he talks to "Counterpunch" author Floyd Brown about the coalition that can win in 2024, and gives his thoughts on the newly-announced Tim Scott presidential run.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But that was far from the only attack in what has been a violent and frightening spring for conservatives. Charlie explains how the left became this way, and why it is so important to keep going onto into hostile territory, no matter what the risks are.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the left-wing religion of "anti-racism," whiteness is the original sin, and those who possess it can never find redemption. And yet this sinister, unholy religion has increasingly penetrated actual Christianity. Pastor, author, and evangelist Voddie Baucham Jr. joins Charlie to talk about his book "Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe," which has now been made into a brand-new miniseries.

Republicans hopes in 2024 took a major blow on Tuesday thanks to Wisconsin's supreme court vote — and the RNC was missing in action.

Tuesday was a bad day for conservatives, and not just because of the Trump indictment. Chicago elected a Marxist as mayor, while Wisconsin now has a left-wing majority on its Supreme Court, making the state far harder to win in 2024. But giving up is for losers.

Alvin Bragg's indictment of Donald Trump is just a sham that even Vox and CNN can't get excited about it. Charlie gets into the details of the sham charges, and explains how Bragg's legal claims are so ambitious they could criminalize joining a gym or having a Netflix account. Then, Charlie turns to Alan Dershowitz, who says this is the single weakest criminal case he's seen in sixty years of practicing law.

Why are Democrats so eager to bury Donald Trump in indictments? Charlie lays out the national situation facing the party: A crumbling economy, a collapsing currency, and a 2024 electoral map that is far stronger for the GOP.

America's fastest-growing religious groups is the "nones" — people who are members of no religion at all.
