The Charlie Kirk Show

You've heard of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Rupert Murdoch. But the most powerful person inside Fox News may not be someone you've never heard of: The company's communications chief Irena Briganti. Breitbart Washington bureau chief Matt Boyle joins Charlie to explain who Briganti is, how she is changing Fox, and why even her bosses live in fear of her. Plus, Rasmussen chief pollster Mark Mitchell joins to discuss recent polls indicating that both Trump and DeSantis are well-positioned to beat Biden and Kamala in 2024.

Plus, the inimitable Kane of Citizen Free Press gives his take on the press's desperate efforts to take down Tucker Carlson.

The full-fledged attack on Tucker Carlson's character is underway as text messages, videos, and more come are leaked through leftwing media outlets. But instead of being destroyed, the leaks only make Tucker more appealing to his audience and the wider public.

Tucker Carlson's last interview at Fox, left unaired after his cancellation, was ironically a deep dive into loneliness, and how the ruling regime exploits the fear of isolation to divide and control Americans. Charlie speaks to Stella Morabito, author of The Weaponization of Loneliness, in the interview the left tried and failed to suppress forever.

Over the weekend, America suffered yet another bank collapse, the biggest since 2008 and the second-worst in American history. While the media runs wild with coverage of the irrelevant Met Gala, Charlie focuses on the real story: The American banking sector is headed for serious pain, and every ordinary American is at risk. Charlies investigates how we got here, whether 2023 could be worse than 2008, and  whether this is all by accident...or if it could be going according to someone's plan.

The Supreme Court is one of the only institutions American Marxists don't control. Thanks to that, it's poised to deliver conservatives a wave of big victories restoring religious freedom, rolling back the administrative state, abolishing affirmative action, and more.

Charlie talks about the promise and peril of recent Supreme Court news with Kelly Shackelford of the First Liberty Institute. Plus, he responds to several stories of young people's lives being destroyed by the lies of left-wing activists.

If you've run for a minor office and didn't succeed, should you try again? How critical is it to get your kids out of public schools, as soon as possible?

Nobody but Rupert Murdoch seems to know the exact reason that Tucker Carlson was fired, but in this episode, Charlie explains that the exact reason almost doesn't matter. Instead, Charlie explains how what happened to Tucker is part of a long-term, aggressive censorship operation by America's regime — the same censorship operation that has taken aim at James O'Keefe, Donald Trump, and many others. Then, Charlies lays out why the decaying but hard-to-hate Joe Biden is the ideal frontman for the neoliberal regime, no matter how unpopular he is.
