The Charlie Kirk Show

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the most controversial dissident House members in her first term, but during the recent clash over the speakership, she campaigned energetically for Kevin McCarthy. MTG comes on to explain why last Friday's deal is a win for conservatives, and why she's now optimistic about being able to protect American children, audit Ukraine, and more. Then, after yet another athlete collapsed unexpectedly during a college basketball game, Conservative Review host Daniel Horowitz joins to discuss the frightening number of young athletes collapsing suddenly on the field of play.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Supporters of Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, believing the country's most recent elected was stolen by fraud, just paraded through the country's National Congress building.  Sound familiar? Charlie talks to one of Brazil's most popular journalists, Paulo Figueiredo, to find out what just happened, and why so many people think President Lula's recent "victory" was illegitimate. Plus, Charlie talks to Matthew Tyrmand about whether this incident will be used for an authoritarian crackdown, and whether Brazil is on the brink of becoming another left-wing Latin dictatorship.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After 15 rounds of voting, Kevin McCarthy has finally been elected Speaker of the House and been sworn in. To win that vote, though, Kevin had to make a lot of promises to House conservatives. Just what exactly are those promises? Charlie walks through each part of the newly-made deal, explaining why it has so greatly improved conservative prospects for the coming Congress. Russ Vought from the Center for Renewing America joins in to help Charlie unpack one of the most divisive moments in recent GOP history.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie takes the questions you email him at Freedom@CharlieKirk.com including: Is the Kevin McCarthy Speaker deal good enough for conservatives to be happy? What stands out to Charlie about the baffling Idaho house murders? What is so remarkable about the very first verse of the Bible? Why does Charlie observe the Sabbath, and why is it valuable? And most importantly, in a world full of difficulties and darkness, how do we find meaning in our lives and remember that life is worth living?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why have America's schools gone so badly off the rails? In his speech to the TPUSA Educators' Summit, Charlie explains that our problems are nothing new. They're rooted in mistakes that stretch back decades and even centuries, to men like Woodrow Wilson, John Dewey, and Jean-Jacques Rosseau. Above all, Charlie says, the crisis of America's schools is rooted in the failure of progressivism to understand what education actually is...and what a child is.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There has been a breakthrough in the battle for the speakership, and the 20 GOP holdouts have dwindled to just six. Charlie explains how these defections are not a mark of defeat, but reflect negotiations that will make the 2023 House quite possibly the most conservative one in American history. Congressman Troy Niehls joins to describe some of the investigations and budget negotiations that conservatives can look forward to once a speaker is finally decided. Then, Liz Wheeler of The Liz Wheeler Show joins to talk about Damar Hamlin's heart attack on Monday Night Football, and the evidence that Hamlin's collapse might be related to a Covid-19 vaccine.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s January 6, 2022. Two years after J6, and there are still political prisoners trapped behind bars for engaging in non-violent protest. Charlie speaks to Cynthia Hughes of  The Patriot Freedom Project to discuss her fight to support and free those targeted for retaliation after the events of two years ago. He also speaks with Geri Perna, whose nephew committed suicide in despair after the DOJ menaced him with years in prison. Charlie also dives into Day 4 of the Speaker of the House race, where there might finally be a break in the unending deadlock.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lauren Boebert had a "mostly peaceful" interview with Sean Hannity on Wednesday night. Now, she's announced that she is casting her Speaker vote for a Kevin...but not Kevin McCarthy. Lauren joins Charlies to explain her pick, and why she will never accept McCarthy as speaker under any circumstances. Then, National File publisher Noel Fritsch joins to argue that McCarthy's "trust issues" preclude him from becoming speaker no matter how many promises and concessions and makes.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The House is holding ballot after ballot, and the 20 anti-McCarthy GOP dissenters are not budging. One of those twenty, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, joins to debunk claims that he is "never-Kevin" or that he will resign his seat if McCarthy wins. But if McCarthy can't get 218 Republican votes, who can? And if Republicans can't make a deal, is there a real risk of a uniparty "coalition" taking over instead? Kevin then discusses the stakes of the race and what is next with Matt Peterson of American Firebrand.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The struggle for Speaker of the House is now into its third day, and the drama has never been higher. Charlie welcomes someone very familiar with the process, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, to get his expert analysis. They discuss the last minute nominations, the many proposed (and failed) deals, and the audience’s #1 candidate for Speaker, which may surprise you.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
