The Charlie Kirk Show

Thanks to the efforts of 20 GOP dissidents, the new Republican Congress is poised to be the most conservative in memory, and they're already notching important wins. So why are Republicans in the Senate so different? Sen. Rick Scott of Florida joins Charlie to discuss his challenge to Mitch McConnell, the omnibus disaster, and what Republicans could learn from running a business. Then, it's back t...

Twenty-four hours ago, the press told us that Biden's own classified documents scandal was the world's biggest nothingburger. Now, even more documents have been found hiding in Biden's garage, and a special counsel has been appointed. Charlie gives his theory about what this growing scandal is really about, and talks to Donald Trump Jr. about how this compares to the FBI's unprecedented raid on Ma...

How much of America's current funk is because we have no great national project? Chris Buskirk of American Greatness says that all great nations need a purpose. What is America's? And if we don't have one, how do we get one? Charlie and Chris have a fascinating conversation that ranges from ancient Sumeria to high fructose corn syrup to medieval Milan.

Harmeet Dhillon's challenge to Ronna McDaniel for the RNC Chairmanship has gotten lots of attention...but what about Mike Lindell's own run for the post? The world's most famous pillow merchant joins to make his case that his business experience and work battling voting machines make him the best choice for the job. Then, one of Charlie's favorite Congressman, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, joins to d...

America just had its worst aviation disruption since 9/11, and it wasn't because of bad weather or terrorism, but because of a meltdown at the FAA. Charlie digs into how the federal government set the stage for Wednesday's meltdown by focusing on climate change, affirmative action, and "equity" until it couldn't perform its basic job anymore. Special focus is given to Transport Secretary Pete Butt...

Greg Kelly has the number one show on Newsmax TV. He's also the author of a new book on the woke revolution targeting cops, and may be the only person in America to read all 1000 pages of the January 6 report. Greg joins Charlie for a wide-ranging hour covering the duties of a journalist, how Barack Obama helped kick off BLM, and why the obsession with diversity is making television unwatchable. S...

The weeklong struggle over the Speaker's gavel was certainly stressful. But GOP dissidents encouraged us to trust the plan, and held firm in their demand for new promises and concessions. Chip Roy joins to describe how those promises are already coming to fruition, with new rules, new plans for a balanced budget, and new committees to hold the Biden Administration accountable. Then Matt Gaetz join...

In light of classified documents being discovered in Joe Biden’s private office, everyone is in a frenzy— surprisingly, even the liberal media is talking about it, if only to make excuses. Charlie takes a different approach than most and looks deeper into the situation. Looking past the blatant hypocrisy, what does it really mean? Could there be a hidden agenda in revealing this scandal now? Kash...

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the most controversial dissident House members in her first term, but during the recent clash over the speakership, she campaigned energetically for Kevin McCarthy. MTG comes on to explain why last Friday's deal is a win for conservatives, and why she's now optimistic about being able to protect American children, audit Ukraine, and more. Then, after...

Supporters of Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, believing the country's most recent elected was stolen by fraud, just paraded through the country's National Congress building.  Sound familiar? Charlie talks to one of Brazil's most popular journalists, Paulo Figueiredo, to find out what just happened, and why so many people think President Lula's recent "victory" was illegitimate. Plus, Charlie talks to Mat...

After 15 rounds of voting, Kevin McCarthy has finally been elected Speaker of the House and been sworn in. To win that vote, though, Kevin had to make a lot of promises to House conservatives. Just what exactly are those promises? Charlie walks through each part of the newly-made deal, explaining why it has so greatly improved conservative prospects for the coming Congress. Russ Vought from the Ce...

Charlie takes the questions you email him at Freedom@CharlieKirk.com including: Is the Kevin McCarthy Speaker deal good enough for conservatives to be happy? What stands out to Charlie about the baffling Idaho house murders? What is so remarkable about the very first verse of the Bible? Why does Charlie observe the Sabbath, and why is it valuable? And most importantly, in a world full of difficult...

Why have America's schools gone so badly off the rails? In his speech to the TPUSA Educators' Summit, Charlie explains that our problems are nothing new. They're rooted in mistakes that stretch back decades and even centuries, to men like Woodrow Wilson, John Dewey, and Jean-Jacques Rosseau. Above all, Charlie says, the crisis of America's schools is rooted in the failure of progressivism to under...

There has been a breakthrough in the battle for the speakership, and the 20 GOP holdouts have dwindled to just six. Charlie explains how these defections are not a mark of defeat, but reflect negotiations that will make the 2023 House quite possibly the most conservative one in American history. Congressman Troy Niehls joins to describe some of the investigations and budget negotiations that conse...

It’s January 6, 2022. Two years after J6, and there are still political prisoners trapped behind bars for engaging in non-violent protest. Charlie speaks to Cynthia Hughes of  The Patriot Freedom Project to discuss her fight to support and free those targeted for retaliation after the events of two years ago. He also speaks with Geri Perna, whose nephew committed suicide in despair after the DOJ m...

Lauren Boebert had a "mostly peaceful" interview with Sean Hannity on Wednesday night. Now, she's announced that she is casting her Speaker vote for a Kevin...but not Kevin McCarthy. Lauren joins Charlies to explain her pick, and why she will never accept McCarthy as speaker under any circumstances. Then, National File publisher Noel Fritsch joins to argue that McCarthy's "trust issues" preclude h...

The House is holding ballot after ballot, and the 20 anti-McCarthy GOP dissenters are not budging. One of those twenty, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, joins to debunk claims that he is "never-Kevin" or that he will resign his seat if McCarthy wins. But if McCarthy can't get 218 Republican votes, who can? And if Republicans can't make a deal, is there a real risk of a uniparty "coalition" taking ove...

The struggle for Speaker of the House is now into its third day, and the drama has never been higher. Charlie welcomes someone very familiar with the process, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, to get his expert analysis. They discuss the last minute nominations, the many proposed (and failed) deals, and the audience’s #1 candidate for Speaker, which may surprise you. Support the show: http://www.charl...

Could the deadlock over House Speaker continue for half a year, or longer? House Rep. Troy Nehls thinks it could happen. He joins Charlie straight from the House cloak room to describe the negotiations over the Speaker's gavel, and why he is frustrated over the continued division. Plus, the speaker's race isn't the only GOP leadership election going on. Bryan Williams is running to become chair of...

The struggle to decide who will be the next Speaker of the House isn't just about who can muster the most votes...it's also about which side has the most will to win. Marjorie Taylor Greene has had her differences with House Republican leadership. But in the ongoing battle for the House speakership, MTG has thrown her backing behind Kevin McCarthy, and she has harsh words for those who are standin...

It’s day two of the Speaker of the House debate, and so far neither side is budging. Who will be the actual GOP leader when all is said and done, and what will that mean for the majority? Charlie is joined by Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III project, to unpack the drama that’s happened. He gives his pick for Speaker of the House- and Charlie does not agree. Do you? Support the...

Transgenderism has come out of nowhere in the past few years to explode as a destructive social contagion. Thousands of children are in danger, as Chloe Cole knows all too well. Chloe is one of thousands of young girls who became convinced that she was actually a boy. Now, she realizes she made a devastating mistake, but only after inflicting irreversible damage onto her own body. Chloe joins Char...

The newly-Republican House is poised to launch investigations of Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, the FBI, Alejandro Mayorkas, and more. But that can only happen once they have a House speaker. And in a depressingly familiar site, Republicans are instead collapsing into infighting. Charlie reacts to listener emails about the House power struggle, and talks to Tyler Bowyer about the danger of losing the Ho...

An unbelievable tragedy took place during the NFL's final Monday Night Football broadcast, when Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed after a routine play. Charlie shares his condolences and explains why he responded the way he did on Twitter, before digging into whether Hamlin's collapse might be related to the NFL's vaccine mandate. Dr. Robert Malone, co-inventor of mRNA technology, joins...

James Lindsay once called himself an atheist, but after reading the entire Bible (and a lot else) he no longer does. James joins Charlie for a deep, far-ranging conversation that covers Marx, Hegel, Gnosticism, Materialism, Hermeticism, and a lot more! Charlie and James dig deep into the roots of faith, how the message of the Bible clashes with the doctrines of Marxism, and why the greatest threat...
