For years, Vice President JD Vance came to know Charlie not merely as an ally, but as a beloved friend. Today, Vance takes up the microphone for his fallen friend and hosts The Charlie Kirk Show. Vance and others at the White House share their memories of the man who has become an immortal American hero and Christian martyr.

VP Vance hosts the Charlie Kirk show, I found this talk extremely compelling both for its staunch appeal to free speech, but not condemning those who disagree. It’s worth watching - in full - regardless of political ties.

TLDW: It’s both a remembrance of the departed, and a condemnation of the celebration of violence against someone who would debate anyone.

Note - I’m not a conservative, very far from it. I however was very disturbed by the recent assassination, and I’ve been trying to parse the rhetoric, I thought it is very relevant to this community. What I found most alarming is that people are actioning violence using only vague references about what someone said, rather then what they actually said - a very sad game of political telephone inciting violence. This has to stop. Honestly, the us vs them mentality is very much part of the problem (a thing which JD Vance falls into in this very video).

    I found the representation of Kirk very compelling as it appears his chief weapon was open and free dialog with anyone, really digging into the human. That is refreshing compared to those we often see advocating for censorship and violence against those who they disagree with (or think they disagree with, or are told they disagree with).
