Vice President JD Vance hosted “The Charlie Kirk Show” from the White House in honor of the late Turning Point founder.
From his office, Vance said he “wanted to use this show today to advocate for Charlie, to talk about him, to talk about what kind of a guy he was, talk about what kind of a man he was, what kind of a husband and father he was.”
“And to take people, most of them from inside the administration, but some of them from without, who knew Charlie best. And to talk about what he meant, what he meant to them, what he meant to this administration and what he meant to the conservative movement,” he said.”
Vance shared that Kirk’s wife, Erika, said that “Charlie never raised his voice, that he never cussed at her, that he was never cross or mean-spirited to her.”
The vice president explained that in that moment, he knew he “needed to be a better husband. And I needed to be a better father.”
“The best way I can honor my true friend is to be the best husband that I can be,” he added. “To be the kind of husband to my wife that he was to his.”
Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller said during the show that Kirk spoke to him about forming a strategy to “go after left-wing organizations that are promoting violence in this country.”
“With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the DOJ, Homeland Security, and throughout this government, to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks,” Miller said, declaring, “We will do it in Charlie’s name.”
