TikTok is Banned. Now What?

In this week’s ThoughtCrime, Charlie Kirk, Jack Posobiec, Andrew Kolvet, and Blake Neff discuss the latest authoritarian lawfare operation by the left, which aims to imprison ThoughtCrime's own Tyler Bowyer for serving as a Trump elector in 2020. Then, they have a deep discussion of Tucker Carlson's interview with Joe Rogan, and the most interesting question to come out of it: Was America's use of the A-Bomb in World War 2 evil?

Joe Biden's 2024 election plan includes an unlikely policy pitch: The largest tax hike in American history. Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni lays out Biden's toxic economic plan, which for the first time in history would include a new tax on unrealized gains — in other words, paying taxes on money a person hasn't even made yet. Plus, Kane reacts to the latest polling on the race and the impact of third-party candidates on Trump's electability.

Has America gone mildly astray from its principles, or is it radically off-track? Is America still exceptional? Was it EVER exceptional? And if America is to be made great again, what could Republican presidents learn from...FDR? Substack author Curtis Yarvin joins Charlie for compelling discussion about what made America successful, and what a future Republican president must be ready to do in order to restore America to greatness.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the most common questions Charlie receives from young campus conservatives is why America should support Israel. 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? Dr. Jeff Myers makes the case that backing Israel remains both a Christian duty and an important step for combating the danger of radical Islam. 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.

Speaker Mike Johnson made a lot of promises the past six months: On the border, on Ukraine, on spending, and more. All those promises culminated in a humiliating submission to President Biden, complete with apology. Rep. Eli Crane joins Charlie to talk about how the Speaker let Republicans down...and how he's facing a primary challenge for being one of the Republicans who wants the party to shape up.

Joe Biden's new Title IX rules will let men compete against women, change clothes with women, shower with women, and more — and if anyone complains, they're the ones who will face punishment. Paula Scanlan, a former UPenn swimmer who was forced to have "Lia" Thomas as a teammate, describes the horrifying experience of living through the "abolition of women." Plus, Twitter's "Bronze Age Shawty" joins to discuss her Elon Musk-funded lawsuit against Jack Dorsey and the importance of online free speech to modern youth politics.

Congress has finally gone and banned TikTok — but conveniently left it so the ban won't take effect until after the election. Charlie weighs in on whether the ban was a good idea, and whether it could hurt Biden with the youth vote, especially as young people struggle to find any kind of success in Joe Biden's America.

What is education for? What makes a person educated? What did Aristotle and Plato want out of education? Charlie may not have a college degree, but he's more than happy to go on any college campus to let students challenge him on any topic they want. Enjoy two of Charlie's most in-depth debates with two women during a "Change My Mind" table at Cal State Fullerton.
