The Charlie Kirk Show

Charlie starts off the episode joined by Senator Ron Johnson, who is in the midst of a very expensive re-election campaign where dark money Democrat affiliated groups have already spent upwards of $40 million to unseat the sitting Republican senator from Wisconsin. Charlie and Sen. Johnson discuss why he voted NO on the "bipartisan" gun control bill, why crime is REALLY on the rise in Dem-run cities, and why we must elect more fighters to the Senate who will force the flailing Biden administration to curb illegal immigration and the runaway inflation that is killing average Americans. Next, "The People’s Pundit," Rich Baris of Big Data Polls,  sounds the fire alarm on Republicans ruining their own chances at a historic red wave as unforced error after unforced error has rapidly eroded voter enthusiasm amongst likely conservative voters. Rich outlines why the generic ballot lead for Republicans is tightening, then walks Charlie through the most critical races conservatives must win if they are to take back power in November.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the wake of another tragic shooting event, this time in Highland Park, Illinois—just miles from Charlie's hometown in the suburbs of Chicago—Charlie walks through everything we know publicly about the shooter and exposes the deeper implications behind some of the seemingly small details the mainstream media is actively glossing over. He goes into his past and unpacks the dangerous levels of marijuana use that have reportedly plagued the perpetrator for years as well as the compounding effects that decades of antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications seemingly had on his psyche and how it all could have contributed to the tragically end we saw on Monday. He's joined by Dr. Naomi Wolf, Author of the new book, 'The Bodies of Others,' to build out the ways substance-induced psychosis could have triggered such a violent tragedy and why we shouldn't expect this to be an isolated incident, given the societal damage COVID Lockdowns have had on the mental health of an entire, already-fragile, generation of American kids. And throughout the length of this episode, Charlie references the concepts of nihilism and subjectivism, all while tying everything together with quotes and commentary from 'The Abolition of Man,' — the seminal work of author and Christian Apologist, C.S. Lewis — laying out what we as a society can learn from Lewis' words, arguably more applicable today than when they were written nearly nine decades ago. Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 On this special Independence Day themed Ask Charlie Anything, Charlie takes the questions you email him at Freedom@CharlieKirk.com including: What do you say to your friends who think that America is a racist, awful place, and is there proof in the Declaration of Independence either way? Charlie has everything you NEED to know about the Declaration of Independence in this special, in-depth dive into one of the most important documents ever written in human history. Since some of the Founding Fathers were slave owners, does that discredit their contribution to this country? Dos that bring everything about America's history into question? Where the Founding Fathers Christians? Does Charlie prefer saying July 4th or Independence Day?  Happy Independence Day to all of you American patriots. Remember to be grateful and thankful for being a part of the greatest country ever to exist in the history in the history of the world. We will fight to restore her to her former glory, and we will win. Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brought to you by TPUSA Faith, Charlie is LIVE from Legacy Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico with senior pastor Steve Smothermon. Charlie begins this amazing evening with TPUSA Faith by celebrating the historic overturning of Roe. v Wade with the Supreme Court's decision on Dobbs. Charlie breaks down the acronym that will help you defend your pro-life position: SLED—Size, Level of Development, Environment, and Degree of Dependency. Charlie breaks down of the left's main arguments and spends an extra amount of time on "D." Charlie then moves onto the controversial topic of the trans, gay, and LGBTQ agenda and the agenda being met upon culture. What started as a live and let live approach has quickly become a live and let them rule over you agenda. Charlie tackles the issue head on and without apology. In all of this cultural chaos, how do Christians still stand for the truth of the Gospel, biological truth, sexual truth, the truth about sin, and how to get back into alignment with God's plan?  Charlie quotes the great Clarence Thomas who famously said, "Right is still right. North is still north" as he confronted the shifting sands of culture as compared to the firmament of God's word. Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie welcomes the president of Hillsdale College, Dr. Larry Arnn, who is also one of the preeminent scholars of American history and the Founding Fathers. Charlie and Dr. Arnn sit down for a deep dive into the significance of America's birthday, July 4th, when the Founders proclaimed to the world a series of universal truths about the life and liberty of man, and pledged that "solemn acts of devotion" would be performed for "from this time forward." Why did these brave patriots pledge "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" on this great day in 1776? As pride in America reaches historic lows, allow Dr. Arnn to remind you of our great inheritance. Next up, Charlie welcomes Pedro Gonzalez, associate editor of Chronicles Magazine and whose writings are also available at contra.substack.com. "Friday thought crimes with Pedro" explores a recent, viral clip from current Biden administration official and Blackrock alum, Brian Deese, claiming that Americans must continue to sacrifice in the name of the international liberal world order. Pedro recounts the promises of neoliberalism, how those promises have short changed the American experiment and everyday citizens, and why the ideological underpinnings of this ideology are being manipulated to great effect by those in power in Washington. Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we approach Independence Day, a new poll that was just conducted in June and released by Fox News yesterday caught Charlie's attention. It asked 'Are you proud of your country today?' and Charlie spends the show responding to what the poll revealed about a very serious problem plaguing our republic. This is a powerful, passionately delivered episode that you can be sure will inspire you to celebrate America this Fourth of July weekend, but also to spend every other day of the year working to revive the America we grew up in.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie welcomes famed political commentator and filmmaker, Mike Cernovich, to the show to explore a truly wide array of topics, starting with, "What time is it in America?" Mike explains why those who kept the faith ended up taking the day, while the cynics and the doubters are the ones who have been proven wrong. What role did Christian conservatives play in the most monumental SCOTUS decision in over 50 years? Next up, Mike holds nothing back when it comes to his controversial and compelling takes on Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the FBI in the most famous child sex trafficking case in American history. Did Epstein kill himself? Next, Mike and Charlie explore Cerno's fascinating experience with Ayahuasca, the psychedelic drug popular amongst many liberals and "seekers."  While Charlie makes it expressly clear that he does not endorse Ayahuasca, Charlie nevertheless believes that Mike's experience is worth exploring because it ultimately ends up reenforcing the values of the Bible and the Christian worldview. Find out how Mike went down this unorthodox route and why you probably shouldn't try this at home. In one of the most profoundly interesting conversations you will hear, please listen in and meet the one-and-only Mike Cernovich.     Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
