JD Vance and Stephen Miller Vow to Dismantle Domestic Terror Networks After Charlie Kirk Assassination

[00:00] Charlie Kirk show. This is Vice

[00:02] President JD Vance. Joining me now is

[00:04] Steven Miller, White House Deputy Chief

[00:06] of Staff, dear friend of mine and dear

[00:08] friend of Charlie Kirks. And uh before I

[00:10] get into the nitty-gritty of what I

[00:12] wanted to talk with Stephen about, you

[00:14] know, there's a lot of questions about

[00:15] the investigation, where we are in the

[00:16] investigation, I want to be respectful

[00:18] to the FBI's process, but just know that

[00:21] we are on top of this and the entire

[00:23] administration is trying to do as much

[00:24] as possible to find everything that we

[00:27] can about what led to this, about how we

[00:29] got here, and of course, ultimately how

[00:31] an assassin took Charlie's life. I

[00:33] wanted to zoom out with Stephen a little

[00:35] bit and talk about all of the ways that

[00:38] we're trying to figure out how to

[00:40] prevent this festering violence that you

[00:42] see on the far left from becoming even

[00:44] more and more mainstream. And you know,

[00:46] before I I do that, Stephen, I want to

[00:48] do this with every guest because you're

[00:49] a friend of Charlie's. And one of the

[00:51] things I'm hoping that people get out of

[00:52] this is an understanding for the kind of

[00:54] guy that Charlie was, who he was. And so

[00:56] before I talk to you about what we're

[00:58] doing to try to prevent something like

[01:00] this from happening again, maybe you

[01:02] could just talk about why you love

[01:03] Charlie, what memories you have of him,

[01:06] something that would give our audience a

[01:07] sense of what he was behind the

[01:09] microphone.

[01:11] >> Yeah,

[01:12] I've known Charlie for 10 years. He was

[01:16] a treasured friend. And you know his

[01:20] this is going to sound

[01:23] he made he made you believe more in

[01:26] yourself is the best way I could put

[01:28] that.

[01:28] >> That's right.

[01:29] >> The he he was your biggest cheerleader.

[01:34] He would if I was working on a hard

[01:36] project, an important executive order, a

[01:38] major new initiative, he would give me

[01:41] the strength and the focus to get it

[01:43] done.

[01:44] >> That's right. He was everybody's

[01:46] um supporter, enthusiast, cheerleader,

[01:50] promoter. Uh he made all of us better

[01:52] every single day. You know, my uh the

[01:55] memory that I keep turning to is not a

[01:59] single memory. It's a period of a couple

[02:01] months after we won the election. And

[02:04] Charlie was in the campaign or the

[02:06] transition office every single day and

[02:09] from dawn till dusk volunteering his

[02:12] time to get into the weeds, the

[02:15] nitty-gritty of government. And he was

[02:17] so damn excited. I mean, it just it it

[02:21] really hurts to think about it right

[02:22] now. He was so excited about all of us

[02:25] being here. The last message that

[02:26] Charlie sent me was um I think it was

[02:30] just the day before we lost him, which

[02:33] is that we need to have an organized

[02:34] strategy to go after the leftwing

[02:36] organizations that are promoting

[02:37] violence in this country. And

[02:40] I will write those words onto my heart

[02:42] and I will carry them out. If people ask

[02:44] me, you know, what emotions I'm feeling

[02:46] right now, this is something people say.

[02:47] I mean, you kind of know the answer.

[02:49] There's incredible sadness, but there's

[02:51] incredible anger. And the thing about

[02:55] anger is that unfocused anger or blind

[02:57] rage is not a productive emotion.

[02:59] >> Right?

[03:00] >> But focused anger, righteous anger

[03:02] directed for a just cause is one of the

[03:04] most important agents of change in human

[03:06] history.

[03:07] >> I really showed that. Amen.

[03:09] >> And we are going to channel all of the

[03:11] anger that we have over the organized

[03:14] campaign that led to this assassination

[03:18] to uproot and dismantle these terrorist

[03:19] networks. So let me explain a little bit

[03:21] what that means. So

[03:23] >> got 30 seconds, so be quick. Stephen,

[03:25] >> the the organized doxing campaigns, the

[03:28] organized riots, the organized street

[03:30] violence, the organized campaigns of

[03:32] dehumanization, vilification, posting

[03:34] people's addresses, combining that with

[03:36] messaging that's designed to trigger

[03:38] incite violence, and the actual

[03:39] organized cells that carry out and

[03:41] facilitate the violence. It is a vast

[03:43] domestic terror movement. With God as my

[03:46] witness, we are going to use every

[03:47] resource we have at the Department of

[03:49] Justice, Homeland Security, and

[03:50] throughout this government to identify,

[03:52] disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these

[03:54] networks and make America safe again for

[03:56] the American people. It will happen, and

[03:58] we will do it in Charlie's name. Thank

[03:59] you, Stephen.
