Theo Von: The Podcast Force Reshaping American Politics
Showing 6 Theo Vaughn videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Theo Von, the comedian and podcast host, is cited by Charlie Kirk as one of several new-media figures, alongside Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, and Matt Walsh, whose combined daily audiences now exceed what CNN reaches in an entire year. Kirk argues Kamala Harris's campaign made a strategic error by declining opportunities to appear on Rogan's or Von's podcasts in 2024, choosing safer, more controlled media appearances instead, a decision Kirk contrasts with Donald Trump's willingness to sit for hours of unscripted long-form conversation.
Tucker Carlson appeared on Von's show to voice skepticism about the official investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination, comments Candace Owens cites approvingly as evidence that mainstream doubt about the case extends beyond her own reporting. Owens separately criticizes Ben Shapiro for condemning his own audience as immoral for listening to Von over his platform's tolerance of certain guests, while continuing to appear on shows with similar audiences himself, calling the standard inconsistent. In an unrelated personal anecdote, Owens describes her own children as fans of Von after meeting him at an outdoor market.
