The Charlie Kirk Show

James Lindsay is one of Charlie’s favorite thinkers, and one of the world’s most interesting thinkers period. But how did he get his start? How did he become such an expert on Maoism, and how did he become famous by creating spoof papers ridiculing left-wing beliefs? And most importantly, what do you need to learn to properly resist academic mind viruses? Charlie and James’s discussion at the Chap...

Georgia Republicans have an obvious step they can take to halt the lawfare against their party and their movement: Defund Fani Willis's office and her sinister partisan targeting of Donald Trump and his allies. So why aren't they taking that step by calling a special session to take action? Georgia state senator Colton Moore joins to discuss his struggle to drag his state's GOP in a positive direc...

Would YOU buy merchandise featuring Donald Trump's mugshot? Who wouldn't! Donald Trump is at his strongest when it's him against the world, and there is no moment that will capture that better than when he appears in Fulton County, Georgia to be arraigned as part of Big Fani Willis's plot to rig the 2024 election.

The day after the first GOP debate for the 2024 cycle, Charlie has some strong opinions. He names a winner (and more importantly, the many losers), discusses the future of Ron DeSantis’s campaign, and touches on one of the biggest issues of the night— the audience. What's the point of a GOP debate that doesn't have an authentic GOP crowd? Was Wednesday night really a GOP debate...or just a wake fo...

The regime is kicking up a new Covid scare, with a new variant coming from some new far-off place.

As the threat rises, Charlie provides the three-word motto that will protect us from another wave of tyranny: Do Not Comply. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo joins in the discussion....

Alan Dershowitz is fed up with his fellow "liberals." In the name of taking out Donald Trump, lunatics like Laurence Tribe are distorting the 14th Amendment, throwing out the rest of the Constitution, and demolishing whatever is less of America's democratic institutions. Alan joins Charlie for a remarkable segment where he suggests that if America's most famous left-wing legal minds were in his cl...

Plus, what will be more important on Wednesday night? The...

Have you ever heard of BRICS? It’s a group of five countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — and now all five of them are coming together to bring down America. Charlie explains why BRICS's plan is so dangerous to U.S. prosperity, and why their effort is attracting so much support from across the globe. Plus, Charlie explores how the left-aligned media are laying the groundwork...

The Jim Crow South tried to destroy MLK's reputation by arresting him. Instead, they sent his population soaring to new heights. Could Donald Trump benefit the same way?

Sortor joins Charlie to discuss the systematic harassment and sabotage he has faced in his search for the truth...

The Left has long planned to use trumped-up indictments to lock President Trump out of the White House.

Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most monumental Americans in history. But what was his essence? Was he a conservative, a progressive, a nationalist, or a populist? What did his friends think of this larger-than-life figure? And was his 1912 presidential run responsible for accidentally unleashing 20th century liberalism? Charlie talks to historian and Roosevelt biographer Rick Marshall about how...

News broke Friday, courtesy of left-wing rag The Nation, that James O'Keefe is under investigation for supposedly "looting" Project Veritas.
