The Charlie Kirk Show

A Chinese spy balloon the size of three Greyhound buses hovers over middle America, and the U.S. military is doing nothing to shoot it down. Is it impotence, or appeasement, or what? Charlie explores that, and then goes further, wondering why America does so little to stop Chinese spies from infesting U.S. colleges, tech companies, and intelligence agencies. After decades of China plundering Ameri...

The latest artificial intelligence advances are turning science fiction movies into reality. Programs like ChatGPT can write essays better than many college students, craft original song lyrics, and a lot more, all in seconds. With computers getting so powerful, what hope is there for humanity? And how much worse will it be if the AI is designed to be woke? Futurist Joe Allen joins Charlie to expl...

Donald Trump is ramping up his attacks up on Ron DeSantis ahead of a possible presidential fight. But are these attacks working with his base? The man who might know is Citizen Kane, the man running the massively successful Citizen Free Press news site. Kane joins Charlie to discuss that, as well as which criminal charges Democrats will pick to bring against Trump. Then, Dave Rubin comes on to tal...

The Biden classified documents issue has gone from an embarrassment to a full-blown FBI investigation. Charlie gives an opinion that might surprise many: It's not good when the 4th branch of government can unseat a president, regardless of party. Plus, Charlie breaks down Ron DeSantis's epic month fixing education in Florida, then chats with Senator Rick Scott about the latest in his battle with M...

"In the beginning was the Word." So opens the Gospel of John. But what does that mean, and why was it such a revelation to the Greek speakers who first heard it? Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, joins Charlie to discuss this and other deep Biblical topics, and then digs into a key question for the present: What makes people today so willing to repeat lies, and so terrified to speak...

Mark Houck committed no crime, but his pro-life activism caused the Biden Administration sent armed FBI agents to assault his house, humiliate him, and put him on trial for trumped-up charges. Freshly-vindicated after one of the shortest trials in history, Mark joins Charlie to tell his story and celebrate his victory. Then, the show pivots to the latest assault on American freedoms, as Charlie co...

According to new reports, Nikki Haley is about to put her hat in the ring for president. Charlie looks back over Haley's career to ask the important questions: Is she a worthy candidate, and can she actually win? Then, Charlie is joined by Senator Ted Cruz, who does not hold back on the abominable crisis on the southern border, and specific man who bears responsibility for it. Charlie closes by re...

For decades, Republicans have relied on old-fashioned political tactics to win elections, while Democrats embrace and master the latest technology. Tech expert Jason Begich joins with a proposal, and a warning: Unless the Right launches a well-funded "Manhattan Project" to improve its digital prowess, and quickly, it will lose the 2024 election before the campaign even begins. Plus, Raheem Kassam...

The war in Ukraine is grinding to a bloody stalemate. Gains are measured in yards instead of miles, but the fighting still costs thousands of lives. But instead of negotiating a peace, American leaders seem determined for the war to go on forever. Col. Douglas MacGregor joins to argue that Ukraine's position is far weaker than believed, and gives his take on what must happen to bring peace now bef...

When ordinary Americans insider trade, they can go to prison. So why is Nancy Pelosi allowed to do it with impunity? Sen. Josh Hawley joins Charlie to discuss his new bill that would end shady Congressional stock trading for good. Plus, Charlie responds to the left's outrage over an indisputable truth: Beethoven is a transcendent artist and genius, and no amount of liberal whining will ever change...

Project Veritas's bombshell new video is its biggest story ever, with nearly 30 million views on Twitter alone. Yet it's been almost totally blacked out in the wider media. Dr. Robert Malone joins Charlie to react to that stunning story, as well as remarkable new video of an elite athlete admitting his physical talents have been dramatically curtailed by the aftereffects of a Covid shot. Plus, Flo...

Despite the best efforts of CNN and the New York Times, the Tyre Nichols video failed to ignite a new wave of nationwide riots. Heather Mac Donald joins Charlie to expose the real lessons of Memphis: How affirmative action and racial preferences lower standards, promote incompetence, and endanger lives. Plus, Will Hild lays out the sinister threat of ESG - Environmental, Social, Governance - and h...

Today, he sits down with Tyler Bowyer to discuss what happened at the meeting: What was said, what the votes were, and what the RNC members really believe.

It's a frank conversation between two veterans you don't want to miss. S...

Jack breaks it all down with Julie Kelly, author of ‘January 6: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Po...

Why did Ronna McDaniel win another term as RNC Chair? Could it have something to do with leaders who define "the rules" as "whatever Ronna says"? The RNC race didn't go the way we wanted, but it wasn't for lack of effort from Charlie and friends. Charlie and John Fredericks join guest host Jack Posobiec live from the floor of the RNC meeting, sharing what they learned from face-to-face interaction...

James O'Keefe chats with Charlie about the bombshell story that has already collected tens of millions of views. Plus, J.D. Vance joins to discuss America's shortsighted Ukraine strategy in his...

The 2022 Red Wave turned out to be a Red Ripple...but not in Florida. In Florida, the Republican Party works, it fights, and it wins.

Topics include his purge of CRT from the state's schools, his plan to transform a woke...

Then, Congressman Matt Gaetz joins with his own thoughts on what the GOP must do to turn things around, as well as offering a humorous summary of the FBI's own internal "Russian Collusion"...

The campaign against fossil fuels stopped being a policy debate long ago. Today, it's a religious crusade, which treats humanity as a parasite and threat. Alex Epstein, author of the book Fossil Future, is out to smash this cult before it undermines civilization. Epstein explains why human flourishing depends not on renewables, but on continued and expanded use of our fossil fuel endowments. Suppo...

Joe Biden's campaign "beat" Donald Trump. He got "the most votes in American history." So: Who was Joe Biden's campaign manager? Why aren't they more famous? Raheem Kassam joins Charlie to suggest a compelling theory as to why. Then, Kurt Schlichter joins to break down the final showdown between Harmeet Dhillon and Ronna Romney McDaniel just days ahead of the RNC's annual meeting to pick its new c...

The war in Ukraine is escalating yet again, with Joe Biden now sending heavy American tanks off to the front. Charlie explains how calamitously dangerous this is, and how it fits into the wider destruction of modern life by the forces of neoliberalism. Then, he dives into the latest of Biden and Pence’s classified documents scandal, and grades Kevin McCarthy’s latest actions as Speaker. Support th...

If Texas falls, then America falls — and George Soros-backed DAs are doing their best to engineer that collapse by deliberately leaving laws unenforced and allowing crime to run rampant. Charlie talks with Steven Maxwell and Jonathan Hullihan of County Citizens Defending Freedom, which is empowering the public to throw out radical prosecutors before it's too late. Plus, Congressman Andy Biggs walk...

Why are so many young men killing themselves? Why are so many of them failing in life despite living amid unprecedented abundance? Why do so many women struggle to find a worthy man to be with?
