Full Video – Vice President JD Vance Hosts The Charlie Kirk Show (Sept. 15)
In 2016, after the release of Hillbilly Elegy, Kirk invited Vance into conservative activist circles and introduced him to influential donors. Vance later acknowledged that Kirk was “essential” in connecting him with Peter Thiel and other supporters whose backing made his 2022 Ohio Senate run possible. Those introductions helped propel Vance from an author and commentator into a viable candidate, eventually leading to his Senate victory and, later, his role as Vice President.
Today’s show is expected to blend personal reflections with broader commentary on Kirk’s legacy. For Vance, it will also be a full-circle moment: honoring the man who not only championed the conservative youth movement but also opened the door to Vance’s own path in national politics.
