The Charlie Kirk Show

Todd Bensman explains how the Trump administration can follow up on these initial developments to secure the country long-term. Mark Halperin explains why Donald Trump's Cabinet picks are more likely to be confirmed than many people think. Plus, Charlie responds to voicemails from subscribers.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump's Cabinet picks are catching a lot of people off-guard, but Charlie explains that they shouldn't: Once you understand that Trump is serious about keeping his campaign promises, all of them make perfect sense. Charlie talks about RFK Jr.'s potential to remake America's gigantic Department of Health and Human Services, and delivers a warning to any Republicans who try to block his confirmation. Kane of Citizen Free Press describes the base's reaction to Trump's choices.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why is Washington in such an uproar over Tulsi Gabbard becoming Director of National Intelligence? Because she might upset a status quo that has made America much worse but made a few connected people far more wealthy and powerful. David Sacks joins Charlie to discuss the "Russian agent" slur and the declining effectiveness of the Deep State's lies. Plus, Sean Davis gives his reaction to the opening wave of Trump appointments and the overall impact of his big election win.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pete Hegseth is already old news. The new battle line of the Trump transition is Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, announced last night as Trump's choice for attorney general. Charlie explains how the widespread shock in Washington shows why Gaetz is exactly who we need to hold one of the Trump admin's most crucial jobs. Cliff Maloney joins with updates in the Pennsylvania Senate race and the political battles to come.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The U.S. military can't win wars, can't build ships, and is obsessed with political nonsense rather than the essentials of military readiness. The defense establishment needs a dramatic fix, and Trump has made  bold pick to do just that with Pete Hegseth. Erik Prince makes his case for the Hegseth shakeup, and then Mike Davis discusses Trump's agenda for DOJ and whether Trump can forge a working relationship with Majority Leader Thune.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Tear it down to build it back up." That's the motto of the transition team currently hunkered down at Mar-a-Lago. There have already been several unexpected and even shocking announcements, and the President's campaign vision is taking shape: Donald Trump wants people outside the Washington machine who are ready to tear everything down so something new and better can be built in its place. Charlie talks to new Israel ambassador Mike Huckabee, and also discusses the election of John Thune as Senate majority leader.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Markets have surged since Donald Trump's election, and the momentum has continued for a full week. Are we on the verge of an across-the-board Trump boom to replace the Biden bust? Scott Bessent is a favorite to be Trump's Treasury Secretary and talks to Charlie about the ways the new admin can unleash American competition, improve the deficit, and secure long-term prosperity. Plus, Sen. Tommy Tuberville talks about why he's backing Rick Scott for Senate leader, and Charlie takes a minute to dump on CNN for its crashing ratings.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump won a mandate promising the biggest deportation and border security effort in history. Now, Tom Homan is in charge of carrying it out.
