JD Vance hosts Charlie Kirk’s radio program, telling the listeners that he will honor his friend by being a better husband and father

Vance welcomed “The Charlie Kirk Show” from his ceremonial office in the Eisenhower executive building next to the White House. The live delivery of the two -hour program was broadcast in the White House press room and presented a series of appearances of managers of the White House and the Administration who knew Kirk, 31.

Vance, who transported Kirk’s body to the house in Arizona aboard the Air Force two last week, opened its doors saying that he “filled someone who cannot be filled, but I will do my best”.

The 41-year-old republican vice-president was particularly close to Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, one of the country’s largest political organizations with chapters on high school and college campuses. The two started a friendship almost a decade ago, and Kirk pleaded for Vance to be the choice of Republican Donald Trump for the vice-president last year.

Vance spoke on Monday to sit with the widow of Kirk, Erika Kirk, and to lose words. But he said that she had told him something he would never forget, namely her husband had never raised her voice and was never “cross or mean with her”.

Vance allowed him not to say the same thing about himself.

“I took this moment when I had to be a better husband and I had to be a better father,” said the vice-president in the program, which was broadcast on Rumble. “This is how I’m going to honor my friend.”

After Kirk was shot dead last Wednesday at Utah Valley University, Vance tore his schedule for the next day – he was scheduled for Thursday to attend the 24th annual respect in New York of September 11, 2001, to go to Orem, Utah, with his wife, second USHA VANCE.

The two accompanied Erika Kirk and Charlie Kirk to Arizona on the Air Force two.
