How the NEW GOP Must Fight Back—with J.D...

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

Charlie invites conservative stalwart, Marine Corp veteran, and celebrated author of the bestselling novel 'Hillbilly Elegy'—a man who may have a very bright political future ahead of him in Ohio, should he choose to pursue it—the one and only J.D. Vance to join him for a fascinating episode of The Charlie Kirk Show. Charlie and J.D. tackle the big issues of the day and why the current composition of the conservative movement is seemingly proving themselves either unfit or unwilling to tackle them. Taking it a step further, the duo discusses the need to shift the infamous Overton Window if we expect to have any chance at saving the republic—including a proposal to legislate morality that could make all the difference in America's preservation. This is arguably one of the most important episodes we've had this year. Be sure to tune in, take notes, and take action. America is on the line and it's time to rally behind the fighters like J.D.
