The Charlie Kirk Show

You've heard the lines before: Abortion is too political, gay marriage is too political, open borders is too political. Over and over, Christian leaders cite "politics" as a key reason to remain uninvolved and unengaged with the biggest moral questions of the day. But as Pastor and "Woke Jesus" host Lucas Miles explains, it is really the Christian left that has merged politics with religion, turning the Gospel of Christ into a false gospel or subordination to secular liberalism. Charlie and Lucas have a rich, wide-ranging conversation that is not to be missed.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks to the incompetence and disarray of the Democrat Party, Joe Biden is actually at risk of being left off the ballot in Ohio! But should Republicans seize the chance to give Democrats a taste of their own medicine...or is it actually a big boost to have Biden on the ballot, for patriots to vote against? Sen. JD Vance joins to discuss this happy tactical dilemma, and also talks about his letter demanding that evidence be retained for a possible investigation of the anti-Trump Judge Merchan. Teacher Jessica Tapia celebrates her victory over a California school that tried to fire her for refusing to use transgender pronouns.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump's trial is now in the hands of 12 jurors. But as Charlie explains, the verdict is not the end. A conviction doesn't discredit Trump, it discredits the entire New York court system. So for Trump supporters, the challenge is clear: They must be ready to weather the storm of an unprecedented media demoralization campaign. Ben Bergquam and David Zere join from outside the Manhattan courthouse.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
