The Charlie Kirk Show

Paper ballots, cast on Election Day, and counted by hand may be the ideal way to run an election. But right now, it's not the law, and the only way to change the law is by winning elections. Pastor Rob McCoy of Godspeak Calvary Chapel explains how his church and several others took advantage of California's liberal ballot harvesting laws to turn out voters and help win the House for Republicans. Plus, Ken Cuccinelli joins to talk about Texas Governor Greg Abbott's declaration of invasion on the Mexican border, and why Abbott should be going even further than he currently has.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie is joined by Jack Posobiec, TPUSA contributor and host of Human Events Daily, along with Executive Producer Andrew Kolvet and finally by Tyler Bowyer, COO of Turning Point Action to give a crucial update on where things stand in Arizona, what emerging details shine a light on what the heck just happened, and why we might be headed toward an automatically triggered recount. Also, following Trump's much anticipated official announcement that he's running for President in 2024, Charlie, Andrew, and Jack react live to his speech all before bringing in Tyler Bowyer from Mar a Lago to give an update on Abe Hamadeh's race in Arizona that is separated by hundreds of votes as he vies to become Arizona's next attorney general. Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TikTok is the most popular social media platform for America's teenagers. It's dominated by the left, but it also destroys children's mental well-being, and all of its data is being scooped up by Communist China. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr comes on to make a bipartisan case for banning TikTok outright. Plus, Darren Beattie explains how mass ballot harvesting changes American democracy by handing election-deciding power to those who don't even care enough to visit a polling place.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A planned election day wave transformed into an election day ambush, thanks to faulty machines, long lines, and incorrect guidance from poll workers. Did Republicans rely too much on a single strategy? Charlie and Andrew discuss whether or not the future of the GOP lies with embracing the same ballot capture techniques Democrats have already mastered. Plus, Charlie lays out how the only way Democrats win forever is if conservatives decide to give up.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hundreds and hundreds of Arizonans are emailing the show, saying they voted on election day, but the state of Arizona's database claims otherwise. What's going on? Is it a nothingburger, or incompetence, or something more sinister? Charlie investigates one of the most confusing and infuriating aspects of Arizona's election that no one seems to have a good answer for, and then asks what can be done about the thousands of Maricopa voters who were disenfranchised because of machine malfunctions. Plus, Charlie explores whether Democrats' superior ballot-curing operation is behind their streak of surprising victories.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Republicans are going to barely take control of the U.S. House—this seems all but certain after a few touch and go days. But who is going to be Speaker? In a bombshell interview, Rep. Matt Gaetz announces that he will under no circumstances support Kevin McCarthy for the job — and with such a narrow GOP majority, Gaetz may not need many allies to dictate what happens. But if not Kevin McCarthy, who? Could the next Speaker even be outside Congress entirely? Plus, Charlie and Jack Posobiec talk about whether Lindsey Graham's political grandstanding on abortion cost the GOP its red wave.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the old days, politics was all about messaging to voters. But reality has changed. In today's world of mass mail-in and early voting, the party that wins is the one with the most effective machine for churning out ballots by whatever means available. Charlie and Andrew discuss how the GOP must change its attitude toward mail-in ballots if it wants to avoid more election disappointments. Plus, Charlie looks at what needs to happen for Kari Lake to achieve a comeback and become governor of Arizona.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The vigil over Arizona's interminably long vote counting continues, but there are forty-nine other states that had elections, too. Charlie and Posobiec discuss race results from Alaska to Los Angeles, and how conservatives in much-maligned New York and California are responsible for a Republican House. Then, it's back to the all-important Arizona theater, where elected officials seem to be dropping votes as slowly as possible. Charlie gets a crucial update from Lake campaign surrogate Gina Swoboda on why the last wave of Maricopa ballots will be a red flood.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Florida managed to count 8 million votes in about two hours on election night. In Arizona, Maricopa County will take...actually, can we get back to you on that? Kari Lake joins Charlie to explain why all signs point to her victory. Then, he continues his discussions with Benny Johnson, Austin Smith, Tyler Bowyer, and Jack Posobiec, covering Lauren Boebert's Colorado comeback, less-noticed results across America, and the limitless incompetence and inefficiency at the top of Arizona's biggest county.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don't panic! The midterm elections weren't the victory march many people hoped for, but there are far more bright spots than most people realize. Charlie and Rich Baris dig into the math to show Kari Lake's clear path to victory, and how Blake Masters and Adam Laxalt could still bring us a GOP Senate. Benny Johnson joins to explain what the GOP must do to get bigger victories in the future.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
