- 2932The Rise of the Fourth Reich with Steve Deace and Daniel HorowitzCharlie welcomes two incredible patriots, Daniel Horowitz, host of the 'Conservative Review Podcast,' and Steve Deace, host of 'The Steve Deace Show,' and co-authors of the upcoming book, "The Rise of the Fourth Reich: Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial, So This Never Happens Again." Steve and Daniel make the argument that COVID-19 was used to launch the worst tyranny in American history, which we’re still facing even now. It was also the worst oppression in global history since the Third Reich. But, Charlie grills the two co-authors for the entire episode asking them the obvious question, "Is the title of this book hyperbolic? Why does everything have to get related to the 1930s?" Charlie also asks the provocative follow up, "Were COVID lockdowns preplanned? Was the entire lockdown regime conspired and hatched before March 2020?" Steve and Daniel issue a full-throated defense of their heightened language for what swept across the country and the world over for the last 29 months. Listen to this exclusive, and early discussion involving three of the most outspoken lockdown, and vaccine skeptics in America explaining why they believe that we've all lived through one of the largest conspiracies ever perpetrated against a free people in the history of America.

- 2934How Do We Stop This?On a compelling and important episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie passionately dives in to exposing the Republican Party for the lack of any response whatsoever to the political persecution of Donald Trump, his inner circle, and what it means for conservatives everywhere. He details the aggressive push by the left, at every level and across multiple jurisdictions, to take down the former president—from a county attorney in Georgia, to the New York Attorney General, to the Jan. 6 Committee in Washington DC—and contrasts it with where Republicans with the ability to push back are instead focusing their attention. He details the failures of our movement, how we should be responding, and what it will actually take to lower the political temperature in America, before it's too late.

- 2943The Administrative State vs. The People with Darren BeattieCharlie welcomes Darren Beattie from Revolver.News to reflect back on the ramifications of the Mar-a-Lago Raid heard 'round the world. But perhaps more important than the political ramifications, what are some actionable steps conservatives can take right now to get to the bottom of it. Darren and Charlie discuss possible next steps that could support whistleblowers within the security state. Finally, they examine the possible changes to the Republican Party this raid might create, igniting a true reformation and awakening amongst even hardened establishment figures within the party. Charlie then turns his sights on the Church and Pike Committees in the mid 70s, the last true deep dive by Congress to provide oversight over the intelligence communities, what they found, and what it would take to unwind the convoluted police state that has metastasized even more since those famous committees over 40 years ago.

- 2945Winston Churchill and the Power of the Will with Trump Lawyer Alina HabbaAs more information comes to light regarding the shocking raid of Mar-A-Lago, Charlie takes lessons from the great Winston Churchill on how patriots must be appropriately postured for this current moment. Charlie meticulously lays out the case for why Churchill's famous speech defending the British homeland lays the foundation for how we must now consider the grotesque violation of the Constitution playing out in front of us. How do we channel his famous words to determine what we, conservative dissidents, should do next, peacefully? Charlie then touches on the 87,000 new IRS employees, and a rather suspicious job posting that has since been deleted, calling for agents who are ready to be armed and ready. Charlie then welcomes President Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba on the show to relay Trump’s message to the American people, discuss the president's current mood and reaction to the support he's received following the raid, and to untangle many of the troubling details that three days later, still aren't adding up.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He looks back to the last time we truly held our “Intelligence” Agencies accountable, in the mid-70s, post-Watergate era of American politics—another time of deep distrust towards our institutions in our history—and recounts the Church and Pike Committee and what we learned from them. Fair Warning: it will blow your mind. Next, he’s joined by Trump-Endorsed Candidate for Arizona Attorney General, Abe Hamadeh, to talk about how states should react to this Crosses Rubicon Moment.

- 2947Will Trump be Indicted? Kash Patel and Kurt Schlichter UNFILTEREDCharlie welcomes trial lawyer and senior columnist at Townhall.com, Kurt Schlichter, for his completely unfiltered take on what is really going on at the DOJ and the FBI. Kurt and Charlie dissect the establishment wing of the Republican Party leadership's response to this unprecedented action by the FBI and hear their reaction to some of the most egregious public statements by Republicans. Hear their unvarnished take on which conservatives know what time it is in America. Next up, Charlie welcomes Fmr. Federal Prosecutor and author of "The Plot Against the King," Kash Patel (FightWithKash.com). Widely rumored for a post as Director of the FBI in a possible future Trump Administration, Kash breaks down why he too has become so cynical about the current politicization and weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI. Are we in a post constitutional order? Why hasn't Trump's team released the warrant?

- 2948Where is Merrick Garland?36 hours removed from the despicable raid of President Trump’s home at Mar-A-Lago, Charlie breaks down all the latest intelligence and updates the story as news breaks in the course of recording this episode—including a bombshell, albeit confusing article just published in Newsweek detailing an FBI whistleblower. He walks through what we know about the purportedly classified documents at the center of this scandal, lays out the apparent lack of involvement from the White House in its planning and execution of the raid, and details reported from the scene about the length, depth, and bizarrely thorough nature of the operation. But more importantly—Charlie attempts to flesh out what we still do not know about the August 8th Fiasco, asking the biggest question of all still left unanswered: Where is Attorney General Merrick Garland and what can we infer from his uncharacteristic 3-day silence? In his attempt to get to the bottom of that, he shares a recurring thought amongst listeners, pundits, and political observers on all sides of the issue—that the FBI, DOJ, and Merrick Garland just gave the 45th President the greatest campaign launchpad in the history of American Politics. Finally, however, Charlie points out that we shouldn't get too comfortable just yet, given the equally-unprecedented development surrounding the seizure of Representative Scott Perry's cell phone. What comes next? Charlie will tell you when to be worried, but stay tuned—now that The Rubicon has been crossed, that moment may be here sooner than you think.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
- 2949“Not Crazy, Just Early” — My Interview with Alex JonesOn a highly-anticipated and we’re told, “Controversial” episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Alex Jones joins the program for a fascinating, thoughtful, and candid conversation with Charlie about all things afflicting the world—from Globalism to pedophilia—and also about his personal struggles, in light of the blatantly political trial against him that just concluded surrounding 10-year-old statements about the Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting. The conversation truly runs the gamut and you will be glued to the podcast from start to finish as Alex opens up about personal relationship with God, how faith is guiding him through this, and why a national resurgence of the Christian Faith would serve America well, and potentially save us all—before it’s too late.

- 2950Everything You Need to Know About the FBI Raid of Mar-A-Lago with John Solomon and Mike DavisAfter the historic and unprecedented raid of Former President Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago, Charlie continues unpacking the dire day that many Americans will remember for the rest of their lives. He answers the question most patriotic Ameicans are thinking: How long until the FBI raids YOUR home for any reason they concoct? He also reflects on his show from June 8th, where he predicted "to a T" that the Left was done with name calling and would be quickly moving toward a strategy of criminalizing political dissent. The only part he got wrong was how quickly this moment would arrive. Charlie welcomes Article III Project Founder Mike Davis and Award-Winning Journalist John Solomon to unpack everything you need to know about the FBI's horrific raid and what we still need answers to 24 hours after the news first broke.

- 2951MAR-A-LAGO RAIDED: How to Respond When Your Enemies Cross the RubiconFollowing the disgraceful, earth-shattering news that broke late yesterday evening that the enforcement arm of the Biden Regime raided the Palm Beach residence of Former President Donald Trump, Charlie shares his fiery response and insists that the United States political landscape has shifted into uncharted territory and that a response of epic & equal proportion is the only appropriate path forward for the republic. He calls out 'Raid-Me-Last' Republicans for their muted response, especially in contrast with the former disgraced Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, who even recognized that his own party has effectively Crossed the Rubicon—a reference to when Julius Caesar crossed over the Rubicon River, into Rome, and initiated a Roman Civil War which ultimately led to his ascension into absolute power. He lays out the path forward and is joined later in the episode by former Speaker of the House and an institutional guiding force in the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich who takes the narrative one step further—insisting that the FBI is acting in a similar fashion to East Germany's Stasi forces. This is a comprehensive, action-oriented episode that every American needs to hear if we expect to defeat the Regime in their attempt to drag our nation into the political mud of Third-World tyranny.

- 2952My Honest Thoughts on Alex JonesCharlie dives headlong into a controversial topic that you're not supposed to discuss in polite society, the tragic saga of Alex Jones. Charlie explains his (limited) history with Alex Jones, his experience with his commentary and "entertainment" that has so often turned out to be prescient and even prophetic, though often wrong and over the top. What is the truth about Alex Jones? And regardless of what the media and the courtroom are saying about him, does it make the verdict of a nearly $50 million judgement right and just? Charlie breaks it all down and defends what he believes, is a uniquely American figure in Alex Jones, and explains his rationale for why he's grown sympathetic to the most cancelled man in America. Next up, Charlie welcomes Steven Moore, senior economic contributor of Freedom Works, to discuss the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" that does anything but decrease inflation. What is the truth about this act that doesn't reduce inflation, but actually might increase it. Steve Moore, friend of the show, drops the truth on what is actually going on here behind the latest tax and spend Democrat boondoggle. Finally, Charlie tells the cautionary tail of an Oklahoma Sooner football coach who caved in cowardice for reading word off of a player's iPad...prepare to be incensed.
