Ask Charlie Anything 186: Secret Conservatives? Time for a Third Party? What's the Matter with Islam?

He also explains how belief in God is the root of political rights, and secularism is the path directly to the tyrannies of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.

And if America is to be made great again, what could Republican presidents learn from...FDR?

The Bible says that God will bless those who bless Israel — but is the modern state founded in 1948 the same as the one from 2500 years ago?

Plus, Raheem Kassam breaks down the rapid decline and fall of Speaker Johnson's political promise and his depressing submission to Joe Biden.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
