The Charlie Kirk Show

Charlie caused a big stir on Monday when he said that it's time for Donald Trump's GOP rivals to drop out and consolidate for the general election. Charlie lays out the polling, digs into why anti-Trump donors are off-base, and explains why the GOP can't afford to wait until next spring to start combining their efforts against the Democrat machine.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to the Fed, inflation is down. The stock market just had its longest winning streak in years. Unemployment is low. So why are most Americans still feel deeply gloomy about the overall state of the economy?

A remarkable new survey of American high school seniors shows that young men are growing more and more conservative, while the share who call themselves liberal keeps dropping. Charlie discusses how Turning Point's activism has helped bring that about, as well as larger forces in American life — forces like Biden's nominee to head the armed forces being a woke radical who supports race and gender quotas for the military. Sen. Eric Schmitt talks about challenging this general for his anti-white animus, and Alan Dershowitz joins for an epic discussion of why he feels so alienated from the modern left.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Biden Administration has constructed a facade of lies around the American border: They claim illegal crossings have dropped, when in reality they are simply handing free entry passes to everyone showing up from Mexico. So if the federal government has created an open border, what can the state do? "Overrun" author Todd Bensman joins Charlie to discuss Texas's recent action, and whether Gov. Abbott needs to take the plunge, declare an invasion, and stop the conquest of America by any means necessary.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As more indictments are being thrown at Donald Trump, they also managed to throw one at… his maintenance man? Yes, really.

The University of Chicago is supposed to be one of America's premier universities. Yet it hosts debate contests that ban white people, and puts on radical classes about "The Problem of Whiteness."

Daniel joins Charlie describe the real racial environment on elite college campuses. Then, Charlie explores the RFK townhall, the presidential run of Cornel West, and the very real possibility that 2024 could be the most chaotic and multi-sided election of our lifetimes — which could very well be key to getting Trump back to the White House.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anna Paulina Luna joins Charlie to make her case that yes, there really is powerful evidence that alien lifeforms have reached earth, and our military intelligence apparatus is colluding to cover it up.

Then, online influencer and Ron DeSantis supporter Mike Cernovich gives a deep, honest assessment of why the campaign became such a mess so quickly.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The left has a superior ballot harvesting operation. We all know that, but how does it actually work?

But in the case of Hunter Biden, Charlie has finally had enough. After four years of corruption and lies from the DOJ, all while the press stays silent, what else can be done?

In the span of barely a decade, millions of white Americans fled America's greatest cities for the suburbs, leaving desolation behind them.

First, Charlie debates 2024 with Dave Rubin on the merits of Gov. Ron DeSantis versus Donald Trump. Are Vivek and Trump coordinating their campaigns? Is DeSantis taking the tips of the Chamber of Commerce? It's a thrilling discussion you shouldn't miss. Then, he has a heart-rending segment with detransitioner Prisha Mosley.

What lessons does Theodore Roosevelt teach to conservatives today? He has many, but one of the most important, Charlie argues, is the importance of discomfort. Theodore Roosevelt was a weak boy, but grew into a man of intense physical exertion. If we want to be the victorious "man in the arena," Charlie says, then we must reject comfort and reject ease, and instead embrace the importance of effort, challenging ourselves, and making ourselves into the strongest version of ourselves.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Turning Point Action Conference was the biggest event of the summer for grassroots conservatism, and Charlie was right at the center of it. In Charlie's opening remarks, he lays out the crucial importance of chasing ballots anywhere they might be found in 2024, why the Democrats believe (with good reason) that they can win with a corpse on the ticket, and why the key to victory is competing on every day of the election and not just the final one.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Newly-released documents show that the FBI had detailed, specific allegations of corruption by the Biden family in Ukraine, all the way back in 2020.

Julie Kelly joins to discuss why Trump had so little control over his own executive branch as president, and how that relates to the new Deep State push to imprison him and his supporters.

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.

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.
