JD Vance to Honor Charlie Kirk by Hosting his Show
In a moving tribute following the untimely death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Vice President JD Vance has announced he will guest host an upcoming episode of The Charlie Kirk Show. this special broadcast, set for Monday, aims to celebrate kirks life and legacy after he was tragically shot in Utah just days prior.
A Meaningful Memorial on a Shared Platform
Late Sunday evening, Vance revealed the news on X, inviting audiences to join him in honoring his late friend. Alongside his announcement was a photo featuring his workspace with a microphone and coffee cup-symbols of the forthcoming broadcast. The show is scheduled to air at noon Eastern Time on Rumble, a video platform popular among conservative voices and one connected to Vance’s previous venture capital endeavors.
The Friday before featured Andrew Kolvet, one of the show’s producers, hosting an extensive three-hour tribute dedicated entirely to Kirk. Additionally, live streams from Washington D.C., including a prayer vigil and heartfelt remarks from Erika Kirk-Charlie’s widow-were shared via the show’s Rumble channel.
The Close Bond Between JD Vance and Charlie Kirk
Vance expressed deep grief upon learning about Kirk’s passing. Their friendship began in 2017 after appearing together on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News program; shortly afterward, Kirk reached out through direct message praising Vance’s performance-a gesture that sparked their lasting connection. When considering his Senate campaign in early 2021, Vance turned first to Kirk for advice; it was through him that he met key campaign figures as well as Donald Trump Jr.
Kirk actively supported Vance behind the scenes during his bid for republican vice presidential nomination both publicly and privately. Reflecting on this loss, Vance said he would ask his departed friend “to speak directly with the big man upstairs” for those who loved him deeply: family members, friends, and country alike.
A poignant moment underscored their bond when Air Force Two transported Kirk’s body from Utah back home to Arizona last thursday. Vice President Vance personally assisted in carrying the casket onto the plane at Salt Lake City airport.
Nayra Capital: Connecting JD Vance with Rumble
Nayra Capital-a venture fund co-founded by JD Vance in 2019-was among Rumble’s earliest investors when it contributed under $25 million during its May 2021 funding round at roughly $500 million valuation. This stake earned Nayra representation on Rumble’s board of directors. As of December last year Nayra held approximately 3.6 million shares; however following his accomplished Senate election during the 2022 midterms,Vance stepped away from active involvement with Nayra Capital.
