The Charlie Kirk Show

In this latest THOUGHTCRIME featuring Charlie Kirk, Jack Posobiec, Andrew Kolvet, and Blake Neff, the crew  explores varied questions like:   -Is Donald Trump as House speaker a good idea, or just a funny one? -Is it okay to laugh when extreme liberals get killed by their own policies? -Is Columbus Day a worthy holiday honoring an all-time great figure, or just a sop to the 1800s version of BLM? S...

When legendary Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn delivered Harvard’s commencement address in 1978, the school’s leaders expected a stirring celebration on the West. Instead, they got a warning that their own countries were headed toward the same grim fate already suffered by Russia. Forty-five years later, Charlie lays out how Solzhenitsyn has been vindicated. As he foretold: "Men have forgo...

Four criminal cases have been brought against President Trump, yet somehow New York AG Letitia James’s civil suit against him is more sinister than all of them. One of the world’s last true liberals, Alan Dershowitz, explains just how sweeping and tyrannical the bid to seize Trump’s properties and dissolve his businesses is. Plus, Rep. Thomas Massie weighs in on the escalating civil war within the...

Why does the Senate care so much about Ukraine, and so little about the border? Why does D.C. like to posture about China, but then does almost nothing to catch or punish Chinese spies? Sen. Josh Hawley joins Charlie to explore the "Vietnam Syndrome" that grips the uniparty ruling class. He also explains why he voted for the CR that brought down Kevin McCarthy, and discusses his new bill that woul...

What sets the Biden Administration apart from prior Democrat administrations? More than anything, it's the administration's use of law enforcement to pulverize its political enemies, whether its Trump, his voters, or the colleges they like to attend. Grand Canyon University president Brian Mueller joins with an EXCLUSIVE breaking story of how Biden is viciously targeting his school due to its publ...

There are already at least three public candidates for the next Speaker of the House, and a dozen or more undeclared ones. Charlie breaks down the favorites, reacts to reports of Republican disunity, and explains what the party's priorities should be as the Speaker race ramps up. Charlie also looks back to 2014, discussing how the lessons of a prior GOP spat could be highly effective today. Suppor...

We know what Joe Biden has done, but what makes him tick? How did a poor student from a poor family with poor speaking skills become such a dominant force of American politics? The truth, Breitbart's Alex Marlow reveals, is that the average person knows nothing about the real Biden. They only know a carefully cultivated myth created by an ugly man with a twisted soul.

Donald Trump's civil trial in New York hasn't gotten the attention his four criminal indictments have. As Charlie explains, that should change. New York has brought a "fraud" case where there are no victims, and is establishing the blueprint to financially destroy any person who stands as an enemy of the regime. Plus, Rep. Bob Good, one of the eight Republicans who brought down Kevin McCarthy, exp...

For the first time ever, a motion to vacate has toppled a House Speaker. Kevin McCarthy is out. So… what now?

Pope Francis’s latest remarks on same-sex relationships and ordaining women have U.S. Catholics very worked up — and can you blame them? Catholic YouTube star Dr. Taylor Marshall helps to explain what Francis actually said and what it means for the world’s one billion Catholics. Then, Harmeet Dillion talks about Trump’s ongoing legal battles, the struggle to keep the California GOP conservative, a...

For the first time in a hundred years, a motion to vacate has been brought against a House Speaker. Matt Gaetz has made no secret of his intention to topple McCarthy. But Charlie asks: What's the plan? Once McCarthy is gone, who replaces him? And what are the odds that Republicans get a disastrous outcome, like a lengthy power vacuum or, worse yet, a Speaker chosen by the Democrats? It's easy to s...

Is the unfolding House GOP drama a Shakespearian tragedy...or one of his comedies? Kurt Schlichter and Charlie react live as the House GOP votes on the fate of Kevin McCarthy. Will he be Speaker at the end of the day? Heck, will he make it to the end of this hour? Kurt gives his honest thoughts on how we got here, where we're going, and whether it makes you a "RINO" to think this is all one massiv...

The battle for the future of America's children has divided into two distinct camps: The party of America's parents, and the party of America's perverts. Pastor John Amanchukwu is one of the leaders fighting for the rights of parents and the innocence of children. Charlie chats with him, then talks to Dr. Eric Nepute, who just successfully won a multi-million-dollar staredown with the FTC for prom...

After Dianne Feinstein’s passing, Gavin Newsom appointed a new Senator for California… except his appointee is from Maryland? But all the other boxes are checked: black, female, and lesbian! Charlie reacts, and talks about Donald Trump’s latest day in court. He also welcomes Lara Logan on to discuss her new docuseries on the untold story behind J6, and gets her shocking description of events at th...

Jamaal Bowman may have been creating a fake emergency when he pulled a Capitol fire alarm on Saturday — but make no mistake, there's a real crisis in Washington. Charlie reacts to the House's deal to avoid a government shutdown, which does nothing to cut spending, nothing to secure the border, and may only defund Ukraine long enough for Mitch McConnell to find even more money to give them. Charlie...

Men, it turns out, are thinking about the Roman Empire all the time, so for this AMA, Charlie peppers producer Blake Neff with his own questions about the Roman Empire, such as: Why was Rome successful? What lessons does it offer today? And what are the myths on the right about why Rome fell? Plus, Charlie takes the questions you emailed in at Freedom@CharlieKirk.com including:   -What should we t...

Charlie and Dennis Prager's last appearance at Arizona State University was so traumatic to radical left faculty that the school is now under investigation for sweeping free street violations. But Charlie and Dennis aren't intimidated, so they just made another appearance on campus. They take questions on whether public schools can be salvaged, the difference between what left-wing elites preach a...

The press says America has "white privilege," but if that's the case, why does nobody lie about being white on college applications in order to get in? In reality, America does deliberately treat one group more favorably than other ones in hiring, school admissions, and more...and as Heather Mac Donald explains, it's not white people. Plus, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene takes a victory lap about a m...

California Senator Dianne Feinstein has died, hanging on to her Senate seat until her very last breath at 90. The men who wrote our Constitution were in their 30s and 40s, so what does it mean when modern America has a geriatric ruling class that refuses to retire? Charlie explores that crucial topic, then speaks to one of America's youngest lawmakers in Rep. Matt Gaetz. The two of them get to the...

Donald Trump ran on the slogan to "Make America Great Again." President Biden is obviously doing his best to not let that happen. So why are some Republican candidates arguing that the American Dream is better than ever? Charlie reacts to one of the most jarring aspects of the second Republican debate, and discusses the GOP's messaging with former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer. Rep. Anna Pauli...

The biggest sticking point of the 9/30 funding showdown isn't Jack Smith or the border — instead, it's Washington's fanatical desire to funnel as much money as possible into the Ukraine maw. Sen. Rand Paul is one of the few people looking to stop it, and joins Charlie to discuss his battle. Plus, Kash Patel talks about the New York court ruling looking to dissolve Donald Trump's businesses and the...

Charlie gives his reaction to the second GOP debate. Sure he didn't watch it, but who cares? Nobody did. Charlie rattles off the lowlights of a grim evening, then turns to the more important question: How does any of this help conservatives get more ballots into the box in 2024?

Charlie's favorite college football team just scorched Deion Sanders's University of Colorado team, so it's time for Charlie to finally weigh in on the Prime Time question: Is Deion an inspiring Christian leader, a loudmouth with an inflate ego, or a little of both? Charlie digs in to the most fascinating story in sports. Plus, Liz Wheeler explodes the left's sinister agenda to snatch your childre...

Ken Paxton has survived his sham impeachment scare, and now he's back on the warpath. Charlie talks to the Texas AG about his plan for slowing Joe Biden's illegal migration flood, checking voter fraud, and making Texas as red as voters want it to be, despite constant sabotage from the court system. Plus, Stephen Miller makes the surprising case for why there is a 2024 candidate who should be disqu...

After a judge tossed out murder charges against a cop, the streets of Philly convulsed with riots and looting just like the “mostly peaceful” incidents of 2020. Charlie explains who these riots fit into the "anarcho-tyranny" of Joe Biden's America, where the law is deliberately ignored, except for when it can be used against Donald Trump or his supporters. And speaking of Trump, Don Jr. joins to d...
