The Charlie Kirk Show

Is California still a U.S. state?

Joe Biden clearly is not the one calling the shots for the global elite...so who is? Author Seamus Bruner has spent years digging into the web of purchases and patents that billionaires like Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos use to enhance their power well beyond the companies that made them rich. Bruner and Charlie contrast these new oligarchs with the "robber barons" of old, and ask how we went from endo...

It's the most common question Charlie gets these days from fans: Is Biden REALLY going to be the Dems' 2024 nominee? And if he's not, will they try to hold a primary, or will they just pick their champion in a smoke-filled room? Charlie gives his take, then talks to Senator and former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville about his bold gambit to stop the Biden Administration from turning the military int...

Courts and cowardly Republicans prevented the first Trump term to realize its full potential on immigration. But four years of experience and four years in the wilderness to plan mean that Trump 2.0 will be very different.

That's what Charlie wants to know today as he reacts to one of the most appalling op-eds in living memory. Charlie explains why caring for Gazan refugees should be the concern of Arab and Muslim countries, and is not the slightest responsibility of America or the West. Then, he...

Seventy percent of young women prefer liberal candidates, far above the share of young men voting the same way. Can young women be won back to conservative values with reason alone, or is a new style of communications needed? Livestreamer Isabel Brown has spoken with hundreds of young women on many college campuses, and joins Charlie to make the case for an empathy-centered pitch that can win over...

Last week, Charlie was one of the first figures on the right to endorse the idea of Donald Trump picking Tucker Carlson as a running mate. But after a weekend of reflection...Charlie like the idea even more!
