The Charlie Kirk Show

Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most monumental Americans in history. But what was his essence? Was he a conservative, a progressive, a nationalist, or a populist? What did his friends think of this larger-than-life figure? And was his 1912 presidential run responsible for accidentally unleashing 20th century liberalism? Charlie talks to historian and Roosevelt biographer Rick Marshall about how conservatives should view this momentous president more than a century after his death.

News broke Friday, courtesy of left-wing rag The Nation, that James O'Keefe is under investigation for supposedly "looting" Project Veritas. The left's prosecution machine is clearly running at full steam, so Charlie asks, once again, why no Republicans are stepping up to investigate and indict the obvious scam of Black Lives Mattter. Then, Charlie describes how Donald Trump can make the most of the Republican debate next Wednesday even if he's not in attendance.

Why did the Fulton County indictment come down at nearly midnight, rather than having the grand jury finish up the following day? Newt Gingrich joins Charlie with a bombshell: An inside source who tells him that the entire indictment has been stage-managed by top Democrats in Washington, D.C. Newt also talks about the coming "generations of bitterness" as America drives toward its worst constitutional crisis since the Civil War.

Ron Johnson reacts to the questionable choice of David Weiss as a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden — and Charlie explains why Johnson should be on Donald Trump's VP shortlist.

The smoke is still clearing from the catastrophic fire on Maui. The left was quick to blame global warming, but the truth is very different: The fire was actually exacerbated by a deadly mixture of liberal ideology and incompetence. Charlie lays out the reality of the fire, then explores the latest revelations stemming from Fani Willis’s unprecedented, unconstitutional indictment in Georgia.

Superficially, the "Everybody Votes Campaign" was a nonpartisan effort to encourage civic participation in America. In reality, it was a $100 million dark money effort to boost only Democratic turnout — and it might have made the difference in 2020. Investigative reporter Parker Thayer explains his work exposing the Everybody Votes Campaign and how it violated federal tax laws. Plus, Senate candidate Bernie Moreno explains what the priorities of a Republican senator need to be in a post-Fulton indictment world.

What can GOP AGs and DAs do in the wake of the Fulton County indictment? Quite a lot, according to former Trump aide and America First Legal founder Stephen Miller. Miller lays out how if the Fulton or Alvin Bragg cases are valid, then conservative AGs can spin up charges against Joe Biden and his cronies for everything from their border mismanagement to their scheme to forgive billions in student loans. Plus, Rep. Greg Steube discusses his new move to impeach President Biden, and Michael Seifert discusses woke Target whiffing its earnings for the first time in six years.

It's been two years since the worst American humiliation since the fall of Saigon: The sudden and total collapse of the America government in Afghanistan, the triumph of the Taliban after 20 years in war, and the desperate evacuation of the last U.S. personnel from the Kabul airport. Now, Jerry Dunleavy and James Hasson have a new book, "Kabul," giving the untold story of that disaster, and how the blame for that disaster rest squarely on the shoulders of President Joseph R. Biden.

Every Democrat AG is building their career on wild prosecutions aimed at Donald Trump and his associates. Meanwhile, their Republican counterparts sit helplessly, doing nothing.

Plus, it is a principle of history that whoever controls the food supply controls the world.

The death rate for young adult Americans, the people who are supposed to be in peak physical health, has surged abruptly over the past few years. In fact, the surge matches almost exactly with the rollout of Covid vaccines — and vaccine mandates — in early 2021. So when will public officials finally allow people to ask whether the obvious cause is the actual one? Charlie speaks to Dr. Pierre Kory about his op-ed on this surge in deaths, as well as a recent FDA admission that doctors are free to prescribe Ivermectin. Plus, Alan Dershowitz responds to the imminent fourth indictment of Donald Trump, which may be the most outlandish one yet.

What happened to Fox News? What happened to Ron DeSantis? It turns out the answer to those two questions is closely linked, as Steve Bannon explains during a conversation with Charlie at the Turning Point Action Conference. Bannon describes how the right has evolved to be more decentralized, more informed, and more alert — and that means the power of big institutions to dictate the narrative is weaker than ever before.

PragerU has created hugely successful videos that focus on actual history rather than fake, CRT-infused history.
