Our Editor's Take

The Charlie Kirk Show podcast is a political program with a conservative perspective on US politics. Liberals interested in alternate perspectives may want to listen to learn more about conservative political stances. Kirk is the founder of Turning Point USA. His voice speaks from the frontlines of America's cultural challenges. As a grassroots activist, Kirk brings his inside scoop from beyond the headlines. He is the epitome of an unapologetic conservative. He offers a direct Christian Republican American perspective.

His love of freedom is evident in episodes that cover a variety of topics. Kirk addresses questions from readers who email in and speaks to live callers on the show.

Kirk is one of the most engaging conservative personalities on social media. He's out to show he's not afraid of Washington.

Each episode of The Charlie Kirk Show addresses tough, probing questions. “Is indictment in store for Trump?” “Are Republicans ready to go to war?” “What will happen with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade?” “How much is too much funding for Ukraine?” “What is the real reason behind the economic collapse in America?” “Are there ulterior motives to the southern border crisis?” The hard-hitting list goes on and on. Kirk is often joined by exciting guest speakers such as fellow TPUSA host Drew Hernandez, Nigel Farage, and Senator Ron Johnson.

Keeping the Republican Party a Pro-Life Party

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.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 42 — Lawfare in Arizona? Was the A-Bomb Evil?

Is America No Longer Exceptional? with Curtis Yarvin

Is America No Longer Exceptional? with Curtis Yarvin

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?

Is Supporting Israel A Christian Duty? + Has Mike Johnson Lost His Mind?

Is Supporting Israel A Christian Duty? + Has Mike Johnson Lost His Mind?

One of the most common questions Charlie receives from young campus conservatives is why America should support Israel. The Bible says that God will bless those who bless Israel — but is the modern state founded in 1948 the same as the one from 2500 years ago? Dr. Jeff Myers makes the case that backing Israel remains both a Christian duty and an important step for combating the danger of radical Islam. Plus, Raheem Kassam breaks down the rapid decline and fall of Speaker Johnson's political promise and his depressing submission to Joe Biden.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Johnson's Integrity Problem

Mike Johnson's Integrity Problem

Speaker Mike Johnson made a lot of promises the past six months: On the border, on Ukraine, on spending, and more.

Joe Biden's Abolition of Women

Joe Biden's Abolition of Women

Joe Biden's new Title IX rules will let men compete against women, change clothes with women, shower with women, and more — and if anyone complains, they're the ones who will face punishment. Paula Scanlan, a former UPenn swimmer who was forced to have "Lia" Thomas as a teammate, describes the horrifying experience of living through the "abolition of women." Plus, Twitter's "Bronze Age Shawty" joins to discuss her Elon Musk-funded lawsuit against Jack Dorsey and the importance of online free speech to modern youth politics.

TikTok is Banned. Now What?

TikTok is Banned. Now What?

Congress has finally gone and banned TikTok — but conveniently left it so the ban won't take effect until after the election. Charlie weighs in on whether the ban was a good idea, and whether it could hurt Biden with the youth vote, especially as young people struggle to find any kind of success in Joe Biden's America.

Columbia Crashes: The Left's Campus Crisis

The right is falling into a lot of infighting lately, but make no mistake: So is the left. From Columbia to California, left-wing college campuses are having their worst meltdowns yet over the Gaza war, and with that war showing no signs of stopping, it could easily become the wedge issue that ruins the fragile Biden coalition at the worst possible time.

Wall Street veteran and "All In" host David Sacks joins Charlie for an hour-long discussion on why, exactly, it's so important that America remain in a cold war with Russia. Why is a country on the far side of the world, with a long border with China, our enemy instead of a potential ally?

The Great SCIF Scam

The Great SCIF Scam

SCIF, SCIF, SCIF. To most Americans, it's a meaningless acronym.

Thomas Massie has been there, and joins to explain why appeals to national security are a big fat scam. Plus, Sen.

Why Nevada Can Go Red: My Speech At Fervent Church in Las Vegas

Why Nevada Can Go Red: My Speech At Fervent Church in Las Vegas

Nevada was once a ruby-red state, but now it has been blue for four elections in a row, and Democrats think it will remain that way. But Charlie thinks that a great reversal may be imminent, thanks to a fresh mobilization of churchgoing Americans. Because, as Charlie explains, politics just means "business of the city" — so why would churches ignore it? Charlie also takes questions on reviving marriage and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
