The Charlie Kirk Show

Brace yourself: It turns out Joy Reid is a fraud. The woman we all assumed to be a giant of intellectualism has revealed that she only got into Harvard thanks to affirmative action. Charlie responds. Plus, it's not often that the biggest story in the country is also its most encouraging one, but the week of July 4th is fittingly an exception. Darren Beattie of Revolver News reacts to Tuesday's ruling derailing the Biden Administration's anti-"disinformation" scam, and Tom Schatz of Citizens Against Government Waste arrives with a warning about Congress's plan to increase regulation of the pharmaceutical market.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a victorious week at the Supreme Court, the celebration continued over the holiday with a perfectly-timed free speech win on Independence Day, blocking the Biden Administration’s efforts to police speech on social media. Charlie is joined by Senator Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Solicitor General Liz Murrill, who argued the case in the courts, to unpack this monumental win.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are teenaged school children the most depressed, unfit, clueless, and addicted in history, despite limitless prosperity? The root of the problem, Charlie says, is wisdom: Teachers lack it, and our schools don't care about teaching it. In his speech to the Turning Point educator's summit in Illinois, Charlie explains how schools must work to create "full-souled beings," not just people with a skill set for a global economy. It's a choice of Christian vs. secular, classical vs. modern, and good vs. evil.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is a "bonus hole?" Charlie gets a crash course in one of the left's most horrifying neologisms. Then he, Poso, Andrew Kolvet, and Blake Neff answer other questions of transcendent importance, including:   -What's the right grade for the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision? -How did a California judge so perfectly predict the ramifications of affirmative action more than half a century ago? -Why do ordinary Americans turn into sobbing soy factories when the police arrest violent knife-wielding crazies? -What is the "Shopping Cart Test" and what are its implications for human civilization?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A big-budget Hollywood film based on Barbie is coming out. Millions of girls will see it — but should they? Twitter personality and Substack blogger Peachy Keenan joins Charlie with a warning about the transgender propaganda lurking in the film, and then the two of them grade conservatives' handling of this year's Pride Month. Plus, Kelly Shackelford played a major role in the big religious liberty victories at the Supreme Court this week. He joins to discuss how conservatives gradually remade SCOTUS from a tool of the left into the most pro-liberty, pro-Constitution institution in America.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Supreme Court has closed out its spring 2023 term with a series of huge wins for conservatives on religious liberty, student loans, affirmative action, and more. Attorney Will Scharf joins Charlie to discuss these wins and the dramatic, delayed triumphs of President Trump's judicial picks.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LGBT activists insist that gender is fluid, and there's no such thing as gender traits or gender roles. Yet they also claim that a man can know he's "really" a woman because he likes dolls or wearing a dress. Frank Turek joins Charlie to unpack the sheer incoherence of the transgender ideology hijacking America. Charlie makes the case for rejecting the word "gender" entirely, and weighs in on the merciful end of one of the most aggressive, yet also most hopeful, Pride Months in recent history.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
