Summary
On a previously unreleased episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie joins American patriot Kelly Shackelford of First Liberty to walk through the paradigm shift happening not only in the conservative movement, but across America at-large. They unpack the advent of a new "woke" corporate class in our country and why their hate-filled moment is unsustainable—despite the unholy alliance between their boards, politicians, and the activist media. And finally, they unpack the common thread between it all: that leftism is a religion that can be beaten by a strong, moral uprising from the church and beyond.
