Target has lost nearly $10 billion in market cap after the backlash to its radical transgender clothing, and executives are panicking. Allies of woke capital are retaliating by lying about Charlie and other Target critics. Charlie responds with a call to continue and intensify the boycott. Jack Posobiec joins to talk about the "Bud Light-ing" trend and how conservative boycotts are finally becoming as effective as the left's. Plus, Revolver News's Darren Beattie takes a look at Gov. DeSantis's record on big tech, how it might not be as inspiring as the governor's campaign surrogates argue, and the lessons it offers for other red states looking to curb tech's power.

The long run-up is over and the 2024 primary has now truly begun in earnest. Charlie walks through each of the GOP candidates, the money they are receiving, and how the powerful tribal loyalty enjoyed by Trump could negatively effect the careers of his foes. Then, he looks at the state of America three years since the death of George Floyd, and how nobody has suffered more from BLM than the black lives that it pretended to be saving.

June is Pride Month, the most holy month of the year for the woke regime, and James Lindsay thinks that regime has a plan. Are the forces of woke ready for their "Drag Floyd" moment, and if so, what will it look like? Charlie and James have a far-reaching conversation on that, as well as what drives woke capital, the Marxification of education, and more.

The Department of Homeland Security was created to combat foreign terrorist threats, but now it has fully shifted into targeting America's own people — and now, TPUSA itself is in the crosshairs. Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center joins to discuss newly-discovered DHS grants, which gave taxpayer money to an ANTIFA professor who advocates violence and censorship, and who directly links TPUSA to neo-Nazi groups. Plus, John Solomon of Just the News describes the FBI's latest transgressions in targeting Americans while blocking the Hunter Biden investigation, and discusses the possibility of House Republicans retaliating by refusing to renew the Patriot Act.

How much do first impressions really sway people’s opinions? We’re about to find out, after technical issues and a dull opening speech hampered Ron DeSantis’s long-awaited presidential announcement. Charlie and Andrew compare Ron’s announcement to Trump’s eight years ago, and those of other past presidential contenders, to unpack what the damage might be, what the governor’s strategy is, and what it means for 2024 and beyond.

Charlie is in Nashville for TPUSA's Pastor's Summit, one of the largest gatherings of Christian leaders in America.

Did you know that RADICAL Christian Charlie Kirk and his pastor thinks Jesus Christ will return to Earth to rule the world one day? Chances are you do, but Rolling Stone has a comical article treating this as big news. Charlie reacts, and also talks to Rich Baris about the state of the 2024 primary with DeSantis's official entry into the race. Plus, James O'Keefe became a conservative legend building Project Veritas from scratch. Now, in a matter of months, O'Keefe has built his new venture, O'Keefe Media Group, into a force of its own.

Just hours ahead of Ron DeSantis’s official campaign announcement takes place with Elon Musk on Twitter, Charlie and Andrew break down the governor’s strategy: Can he beat Trump, should he have waited for 2024, and most importantly, who the heck is narrating his campaign announcement video?

The 2024 presidential election will probably be Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump...but will they be joined by third candidate, representing the D.C. uniparty? Could Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin make a run for the White House? Charlie and Tyler Bowyer talk about an idea that is more plausible than it sounds, as well as how GOP legislatures have more power than the realize to reshape their election laws. Plus, Rep. Byron Donalds talks about the high stakes of the Ukraine War, the debt ceiling, and more. Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kari Lake on Tuesday announced that she will be helping Republicans fight fire with fire. If elections can't be secure, then she will ensure Republicans are at least as good at ballot chasing as the left is. But before her announcement, Kari joins Charlie to respond to a court ruling on her election challenge, and explain why she thought a Maricopa judge got the decision so wrong. Plus, with Target in a major crisis over its sale of "tuck-friendly" trans bathing suits, PublicSq CEO Michael Seifert joins to talk about the need to punish woke capital and reward companies that stand with conservative, Christian, and patriotic values.

The US is one week away from hitting the debt ceiling, and negotiations between House Republicans and President Biden are deadlocked. Charlie walks through the stakes, explains what kind of deal the GOP should look for, and explains why the GOP should not be afraid of cutting military spending if it means getting America's fiscal house in order.

Almost three times as many people voted by mail in 2020 compared to 2016. Yet instead of the ballot rejection rate going up, it went down — and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why. Charlie talks to Tracy Beanz about Kari Lake's battle for a new election in Arizona, the incredibly suspicious process of signature verification in the state, and what must change to prevent every future election from being sabotaged the same way. Plus, Charlie talks to Winning Team Publishing founder Sergio Gor, who is putting out proudly conservative books, including Charlie's own.

After more than half a year of fighting, Russia says it has captured the city of Bakhmut. Ukrainian President Zelensky, who once described the city as the turning point of the whole war, is now dismissing it as irrelevant. What's really going on, what will happen next in the war, where has America's $100+ billion in aid gone, and most importantly, how do we end the conflict without putting American troops in danger or starting World War 3? Charlie breaks it all down with Col. Douglas Macgregor and Jordan Schachtel, author of the "Dossier" Substack.

Charlie sits down for a deep, intellectual interview with MSCS Media, where he walks through the three pivotal movements the Left has used to take over the culture, and how Conservatives can reverse them.

Things in Biden's America keep getting worse, yet for tens of millions of ordinary Americans, no alarm bells are going off. The culprit: Normalcy bias, which allows people to see the status quo as "normal" now matter how much it would horrify their grandparents, their parents, or even themselves just a few years ago. Plus, FBI whistleblower Garrett O'Boyle describes the rot inside the FBI, where it comes from, and how bureaucratic tyrants have tried to destroy his life and livelihood for stepping out of line.

The left tried to steal the 2016 election at the last minute with the "Hamilton Electors," and failed. In 2020, using Zuckerboxes, mass mail-in ballots, and Twitter censorship, the steal succeeded. The only guarantee in 2024 is that they will try again — but what will their strategy be? Charlie looks past the horse race news of the moment to try and determine what the left is wargaming in their secret strategy meetings. Then, Rep. Jim Jordan joins to discuss the latest findings of his House weaponization subcommittee. Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
