The Charlie Kirk Show

<p>Charlie was always hopeful that the rising generation of American young people would be the one to reverse America's decline.

And as a result, the American republic has blossomed to be the greatest nation in history.</p> <p>Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Get new merch at charliekirkstore.com!</p><p><a href="http://www.charliekirk.com/support" rel="payment">Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
