The Charlie Kirk Show

What is the great divide in American life? Behind globalism vs. nationalism, Christianity vs. atheism, or native vs. immigrant is a split that could be even more critical: The "Ruling Class" vs. the "Country Class." Josh Hammer of Newsweek explains what the "country class" is and how it explains surprising sources of Donald Trump support. Plus, even if young men on campus are standing up for themselves, America's education system remains powerfully anti-Christian and anti-American. Chris Stigall of the Herzog Foundation talks about how the importance of having schools and curricula that aren't shot through with left-wing indoctrination.

When Charlie launched Turning Point more than a decade ago, conservative efforts to win the youth vote looked hopeless and doomed. Now, everything has changed. From UNC to UCLA, thousands of young people are standing up to fight far-left protests and voice support for Trump, and their numbers seem to be growing by the day. Andrew explains how and why seeds Charlie planted a decade ago are blooming into an unprecedented "vibe shift" towards the right — and how it could trigger a 2024 Trump victory.

In America, we treat dogs more and more like people...while treating humans more and more like dogs, or worse. Michael Knowles joins to argue that Kristi Noem shooting her dog might be bad politics — but the meltdown about it from defenders of late-term abortion is pure moral hysteria from those who can no longer understand real right and wrong. Knowles also responds to the GOP's baffling ability to create a defeat out of the winning issue of left-wing anti-Israel protests on campus. Become a member at members.charliekirk.com!

James O'Keefe's latest investigative video takes aim at one of D.C.'s most untouchable institutions: The CIA. O'Keefe joins to discuss what his video reveals about the CIA's years of work undermining Donald Trump. Plus, Rep. Warren Davidson does his best to explain why so many of his colleagues took a stand to vote against both freedom of speech and the Bible. Become a member at members.charliekirk.com!

Did the House GOP just try to pass a new ban on reading the Bible on campus? It sounds insane, but it's true. Charlie responds to a new "antisemitism" bill that enormously overreacts to the wave of anti-Israel protest on campus. Become a member at members.charliekirk.com!

The Biden Administration is moving to reduce restrictions on marijuana, and the drug is now legal in a majority of U.S. states. But is surrendering in the war on drugs a good idea, or just a disaster for the country's young people? Alex Berenson explains the many harmful side effects of America's most popular illegal drug, then responds to campus anti-Israel protests and the GOP's sudden, unfortunate temptation to roll back the 1st Amendment to stop them.

Joe Biden is cutting a deal with Mexico's president to slow down illegal border crossings. But is Biden serious? Of course not. It's just a temporary scheme to win in November. As Vivek Ramaswamy explains, and open border and zero voter ID rules are central, mutually supporting pieces of the Democrat plan for permanent power. Yet incredibly, Republicans have voted to enable this strategy in their recent "deal" with Democrats on foreign aid. Sen. Rick Scott joins Charlie with a simple question: Do his fellow Republicans read the bill that they vote to pass? Become a member at members.charliekirk.com!

In the midst of insane (and inane) protesting and House Republicans turning on each other, young men on their college campus defended the flag and stood up for America. Charlie reacts and wakes listeners up to the possibility that Gaza refugees could be in their hometowns very soon. Become a member at members.charliekirk.com!

Tucker Carlson just went viral on Joe Rogan for arguing that Charles Darwin has been debunked. Did human beings and the animals and plants of the earth evolve randomly into being, or does the evidence point toward a different origin? Charlie talks to Dr. Randy Guliuzza of the Institute for Creation Research about evolution vs. adaptation, the age of Earth, and more. Become a member at members.charliekirk.com!

The press calls it the "Great Replacement conspiracy theory," as though it's something made up. But in reality, the replacement of America's native population with immigrants is an obviously-unfolding reality. Wade Miller of the Center for Renewing America explains how the left has gone "mask-off" with an explicit agenda of attacking and replacing America's white population. Plus, Mike Davis responds to Rachel Maddow's "advice" that President Trump plead guilty in his politically-driven New York criminal case.

2020 riots may have helped bring Joe Biden the White House. Could new protests in 2024 take him down? Charlie reacts to the steadily-escalating anti-Israel insanity consuming campuses across the country, and how they might break Biden's fragile left-wing coalition.

Pastor Doug Wilson proudly calls himself a "Christian nationalist." What does he mean by that? Pastor Wilson talks about the idea of "Christendom," and how America remained an outpost of Christendom until progressive sabotage in the 20th century. He also explains how belief in God is the root of political rights, and secularism is the path directly to the tyrannies of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. Become a member at members.charliekirk.com!

New numbers are in, and they aren't good: America has fewer children being born today than we did 40 years ago, with 100 million fewer people. Charlie explains how the disappearance of the family is directly linked to the rise of authoritarianism, depression, addiction, malaise, and misery. Plus, Will Scharf weighs the odds the Supreme Court might scuttle Jack Smith's case against Donald Trump, and explains how college administrators ought to treat pro-Hamas radicals on campus.

Joe Biden has a lavishly-funded campaign war chest, the backing of every university, and a hundred rich non-profits on his side. But why stop there? Charlie discusses the existential threat of Biden's executive order that turns the entire $6 trillion federal government into a Democrat GOTV behemoth, and he talks to Matthew Martinez about what TP Action is doing to fight back and bring the fight for the 2024 election into your neighborhood.

For decades, the Republican Party has been the political home of the pro-life movement. But make no mistake: Many people want to change that, and they see 2024 as the chance to do it. In his speech at a pro-life event in Phoenix, Charlie explains the danger facing the pro-life movement, and why it is so important to never let the GOP turn into just another pro-abortion party.

Joe Biden's 2024 election plan includes an unlikely policy pitch: The largest tax hike in American history. Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni lays out Biden's toxic economic plan, which for the first time in history would include a new tax on unrealized gains — in other words, paying taxes on money a person hasn't even made yet. Plus, Kane reacts to the latest polling on the race and the impact of third-party candidates on Trump's electability. Become members at members.charliekirk.com!

April has been a month with tough news, but 2024 remains an extremely winnable election, and Charlie has the polls and registration numbers to prove it. He walks through key numbers from Arizona and across the country and lays out why this must be a summer of aggressive campaigning rather than defeatist gloom.

Has America gone mildly astray from its principles, or is it radically off-track? Is America still exceptional? Was it EVER exceptional? And if America is to be made great again, what could Republican presidents learn from...FDR? Substack author Curtis Yarvin joins Charlie for compelling discussion about what made America successful, and what a future Republican president must be ready to do in order to restore America to greatness.
