JD Vance, the U.S. Vice President, is set to host a very special episode of The Charlie Kirk Show on Monday, September 15 at 12 p.m. ET. This podcast tribute comes just five days after the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, a fiery conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, who was sadly shot while speaking to students at Utah Valley University. Vance announced this heartfelt honor on X (formerly Twitter) on September 14, saying, “Tomorrow, I will have the honor of hosting the Charlie Kirk Show. Please join me as I pay tribute to my friend.” The news shocked the conservative world as Kirk, only 31 years old, had been a bright and bold voice in the movement. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, 22, was quickly arrested after the shooting, leaving many in shock and mourning across America’s right-wing circles. How to Catch This Special Podcast? The tribute episode will stream live on Rumble and be available on popular audio platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Omny FM. Fans can also listen via the official Charlie Kirk website. Known for its strong and fearless conservative views, The Charlie Kirk Show has a loyal fan base, and Monday’s episode is expected to be a powerful mix of remembrance and a promise to continue Kirk’s mission. A Promise from Erika Kirk On September 12, Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, spoke emotionally from the podcast studio. She promised to keep Charlie’s work alive — to continue the podcast and the Turning Point USA campus tours. This vow is both touching and a sign that the fight for conservative ideas will go on. A Friendship Deeply Rooted JD Vance and Charlie Kirk shared a close bond since 2017. Kirk played a key role in Vance’s 2021 Senate campaign, even introducing him to Donald Trump Jr., building strong ties within the conservative network. After Vance became the Republican vice-presidential nominee, Kirk gave “guidance and prayers” during critical moments. Vance praised Kirk on X, crediting him for much of the current administration's wins and staff: “So much of the success we’ve had in this administration traces directly to Charlie’s ability to organize and convene. He didn’t just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.” The Very Personal Last Goodbye In a touching gesture, Vance accompanied Charlie’s body to Phoenix, Arizona—the home of Turning Point USA’s headquarters—on Air Force Two. This solemn journey included Second Lady Usha Vance and Erika Kirk, with powerful images of the two women walking hand-in-hand sparking a wave of emotion across the nation. Vance’s choice to skip 9/11 memorial events to be with Charlie’s family revealed just how important Kirk was to the heart of conservative politics. Looking Ahead With this tribute podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show turns a new page. Fans and supporters see it as a crucial move to keep Kirk’s fearless voice alive in the conservative movement.
