The Charlie Kirk Show

What should teachers do when their schools push an agenda they disagree with? What books belong in the classroom and what books should be kept far away? Charlie tackles those questions and more at the 2023 Educator's Summit, and explores the breakdown of public knowledge as standards shifted from “trust the science” to “trust the scientists.” Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

A new wave of student riots are bringing France to its knees, as the children of migrants torch their schools.

Then there is a great AMA hour with subscribers, with Danny joining to answer questions on data centers, Charlie's favorite places in Arizona, how Charlie organized his day, and more.

As the midterms approach, an unsettling problem has become obvious: As the Trump Administration delivers on its biggest promises, like fixing the border and stopping trans lunacy, voters become forgetful rather than grateful. How can conservatives win elections if fixing up America is actually politically harmful? Tim Parrish explains why President Trump remains so bullish on "super intelligence." Scott Greer responds to the ultra-viral Cornell fraternity story, and Evan Barker explains the real reason that black majority schools are failing — and it's not due to lack of money.
