The Charlie Kirk Show

Thomas Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute, joins Charlie for one of the most riventing and important conversations we've had on the show in recent memory where he and Charlie unpack the heavy question: Are we in a war? In a commanding presentation, Klingenstein outlines why our leaders' answer to this question will make all the difference for America, and why answering it correctly suddenly makes our movement's next series of life or death moves strikely clear.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or FISA, is up for renewal on Dec 31 and the DC Uniparty wants to extend it until 2035. That's right, the same FISA that was abused to spy on President Trump's campaign. And now, as Charlie explains, conservatives have a chance to push back. However, many DC Republicans are the ones quietly pushing for it to pass as part of the NDAA. What could be the reason? Charlie sounds the alarm calling it the MOST important fight in December that no one is talking about.

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday dedicated to thanking God for His providence. And as Charlie explains, this attitude of gratitude has fueled America's centuries of success while also making it immune to the cancer of Marxism. And that, he says, is precisely why the left has made Thanksgiving such a target for destruction, and why conservatives must stand up to defend it.

Few men have had more radically different origins than Teddy Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington. One was born a slave, the other a son of one of New York's richest families.

Why did so many churches let themselves be labeled "non-essential" during Covid? Why do so churches march in BLM parades and sport gay pride flags outside their doors? As Charlie explains to Calvary Church in Reno, Nevada, it's rooted in churches that look to other men for their values, rather than the Bible as the word of God. Charlie lays out how to expel woke values from the church, through the simple mechanism of deriving values from the Bible directly, rather than warping the Bible to fit the present.
