Pete Hegseth Praises The Charlie Kirk Show — and Reveals Bold Investment Plans

When ABC abruptly announced the end of The View and its replacement with The Charlie Kirk Show, the decision reverberated across the entertainment and political landscape. The View, a cultural fixture for more than two decades, had long been both adored and derided as the nation’s morning roundtable of debate. Its sudden cancellation seemed almost unthinkable.

But ABC executives framed the move as both a risk and an opportunity: a chance to recapture audiences in an era of fractured media by offering something more overtly ideological. For supporters of the late Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier in 2025, the launch of a program bearing his name carried the weight of a tribute. To others, it looked like ABC was diving headlong into the culture wars.
