The Charlie Kirk Show
Episode: Democrat Hit Lists?
Date: October 23, 2025
Host: Charlie Kirk
Guests: Jack Posobiec (Human Events Daily), Andrew Colvitt (Executive Producer)
Main Theme Overview
This episode dives into what the hosts describe as the growing practice of Democrats, progressive activists, and leftist groups compiling and publicizing “hit lists” of conservative figures and federal law enforcement officers—particularly ICE agents. The conversation links local Antifa doxxing tactics to proposed government-level efforts, arguing this is part of a broader attempt to intimidate, threaten, and silence political opponents. The hosts also touch on several other stories, including new restrictions on Pentagon media access, an NBA sports betting scandal tied to organized crime, issues with commercial driver’s licenses and immigration policy, and highlight personal reflections about the late Charlie Kirk.

8. Immigration Policy, CDL Scandals, and Fatal Accidents

Let's start with an immigration moratorium. How about it? How about 5, 10 years? Immigration moratorium?" — Andrew Colvitt [35:24]

Tone & Style
The show maintains an unapologetically conservative tone, mixing seriousness and urgency—especially when discussing threats to law enforcement and free speech—with moments of humor and nostalgia. The dialogue features direct, emotive appeals to the audience (“pray for Jack,” “God bless them for going in there”), frequent references to media bias, and moral framing (“fight evil and proclaim truth”).
Summary Flow
The episode opens with banter about conservative influencer status before turning sharply to the core topic: the perceived escalation from leftwing “doxxing” to governmental efforts to intimidate political opponents—connecting Antifa’s “kill lists” and Democrat-proposed ICE tracking portals. The conversation expands to Pentagon media control, organized crime in pro sports, immigration loopholes, and reflections on the late Charlie Kirk, all undergirded by an urgent call to resist what the hosts describe as lawless trends and to pray for those targeted.
