With the assasination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, there’s a great deal of speculation about who will fill his seat, literally and metaphorically.
Vice President JD Vance hosted the Charlie Kirk Show on Monday. He talked with a variety of Trump administration heavyweights and conservative media figures, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and political commentator Tucker Carlson.
The guests reflected on their personal and professional relationships with Kirk, and his many contributions to the second Trump presidency.

Charlie Kirk knew the key to winning a generation to conservatism meant addressing the root cause of America’s political problems: a cultural decay that has trapped young people in “prolonged adolescence.”
His solution was to champion cultural and economic values that are congruent with the founding principles of this nation and a flourishing society. On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson explains how Kirk urged a generation to grow out of “prolonged adolescence,” rediscover marriage and family, and demand policies that make owning a home and raising children possible again—and why his legacy will be felt for years to come.
“ We turned to common sense in half the country, but he was going as an emissary into hostile territory and telling people: ‘There is a reason why you're leaving in the millions. … We have to champion the idea that a two-parent family is not aberrant. It was the historical norm for 2,500 years. It's a good thing to have two or three children. It's a good thing to be a young person and wanna buy a house in your 20s and not in your 40s, or to have a child in your 20s and not in your late 30s.’ Nothing wrong with the latter, but he was trying to offer a different paradigm that had proved successful.”
