The Charlie Kirk Show

I appreciate & support Charlie Kirk, his wife, their God & their causes 100% … but his recent podcast on H-1Bs is just plain inaccurate. H-1B workers CAN transfer to other employers, and they MUST be paid the prevailing wage for the role wrt the requirements for the job and the worksite. They’re NOT underpaid slave labor. A more valid gripe is that they may potentially be paid MORE than a US worker in the same role bc of the required gov’t leveling wage the employer needs to meet. Managers often complain that they CANNOT find a U.S. worker for the role & the BEST candidates ARE H-1B holders due to their achievements, expertise, drive, and respect/ behavior in the workplace. Employers desire to keep them so badly that they sponsor green card applications for them which is costly and lengthy. Sadly, there IS a gap at high levels in the tech space that US workers just can’t fill for whatever reason. That being said, I sincerely feel for my fellow Americans who feel displaced by H-1B workers. Side note: Indian H-1B workers wait 15+ years to get their green cards as they pay taxes, put their kids thru U.S. schools, and achieve their American dream - the legal way. They slog out the long game bc they love America. I can’t say the same for someone with a high IQ who just landed here, to your suggestion. Charlie, PLEASE fight illegal immigration and leave legal immigration alone!! For sure, business immigration can be overhauled for the better, but let’s not dump on legal immigrants who have been keeping the economy going LEGALLY.

Longtime listener! This is my daily dose of news and I’ve never felt more knowledgeable of todays political environment than I do now. The only times I miss is when I’m watching to livestream. I’m so encouraged and motivated by the work y’all are doing! Keep it up!

Charlie and his team are incredibly knowledgeable! Their passion is contagious and is making a huge impact. I love this podcast knowing they speak facts and truth. I’m sharing these episodes daily!! Let’s go!

Ah, “The Charlie Kirk Show,” a veritable cacophony of bluster and bombast masquerading as intellectual discourse. One scarcely knows where to begin dissecting this hodgepodge of hyperbole. Listening to young Mr. Kirk pontificate is akin to being trapped in a never-ending pub rant, delivered by a chap who’s had one too many and fancies himself the second coming of Cicero. He brandishes his opinions like a blunt cricket bat, swinging wildly with nary a care for nuance or, dare I say it, accuracy. It’s all rather exhausting, really. The format is alarmingly reductive—an echo chamber of self-satisfied nods and jabs, with no room for that quaint concept we call a “proper debate.” Instead, we are treated to the same tired talking points, recycled with all the subtlety of a bulldozer in a tea shop. And the humour? Oh, it’s positively arid. One might expect a smidgen of wit or irony, but alas, the jokes land with all the grace of a soggy crumpet. In conclusion, if you’re the sort who enjoys loud noises, sensationalism, and the intellectual equivalent of Marmite on toast left out in the rain, then by all means, give it a go. For the rest of us, it’s best avoided—much like the unseasoned chicken at a dodgy carvery. One star, and that’s being charitable.

Used to enjoy the Thoughtcrimes and Ask Charlie Anything segments, but no longer. Charlie sounds scared and apologetic when he agrees with listeners, but knows Blake Neff will disagree. Charlie now looks to Blake for all of his stances, and while pretending to be ironic but actually meaning it, refers to Blake as the smartest guy in the room. This allows Blake’s nasal, whiny, self-important bloviation to dominate the show. If it’s not Blake’s idea, then it’s not correct nor likely. Blake Neff is an arrogant, self-important, obnoxious academic who appears to have never actually worked for a living, but has made a career of listening to himself talk about all the books he’s read and research he’s done, without having actually ever DONE anything. The segments are nauseating and elitist. I can’t listen to these academic eggheads judge every historical decision using 21st century standards from the safety of a studio.
