(CBS News) - Vice President JD Vance announced he is hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show” Monday after Kirk was shot and killed last week at Utah Valley University.
“Tomorrow, I will have the honor of hosting the Charlie Kirk Show,” Vance said Sunday in a post on X. “Please join me as I pay tribute to my friend.”
Kirk, a conservative activist, was assassinated last week during a university event hosted by his organization, Turning Point USA, in Orem, Utah. The 31-year-old was close to Vance, along with President Trump and his family.
After his death, Kirk’s body was flown on the vice president’s plane, Air Force Two , to Kirk’s home state of Arizona. Vance canceled a planned trip to New York to mark 24 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attack to fly to Utah to retrieve Kirk’s body.
