In the podcast, JD Vance begins by promising to get to the bottom of Kirk’s death, which he attributes to an incredibly destructive movement of “left-wing extremism”.

“Call their employer”

Vance then goes on to urge his supporters, in the name of “civility”, to report to employers anyone who celebrated Kirk’s assassination, so they can be fired.

The vice president calls on everyone to take action: if anyone sees someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, they should “Call their employer.”

“In Charlie’s name”

On this special edition of the Charlie Kirk podcast, JD Vance had several guests, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

The latter promises, “In Charlie’s name”, to “identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks”, referring to two organizations cited by JD Vance: the Open Society Foundations and the Ford Foundation, which he accuses of having financially supported an article published in The Nation magazine, entitled “Charlie Kirk’s legacy is not worth mourning”.

The government’s full arsenal

Both foundations categorically denied financially supporting The Nation.

Miller continued his remarks by guaranteeing that “every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and across this administration” will be mobilized for this offensive.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Donald Trump and his advisors are preparing an offensive against radical left-wing groups.

Trump most recently announced, according to CNN, that he was considering designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, saying he had asked U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to look into filing charges under the RICO Act:

It wasn’t clear who or what exactly Trump would designate; Antifa is a loosely organized movement without a distinct leader, membership lists or structure.
