Vance was referring to a question as to Israel‘s alleged influence over US President Donald Trump‘s foreign policy.
„I’m a Christian man, and I’m just confused why there’s this notion that we might owe Israel something or that they are our greatest ally or that we have to support this multi-hundred-billion dollar foreign aid package to Israel to cover this – to quote Charlie Kirk – ethnic cleansing in Gaza,“ the student asked.
Erika Kirk’s remarks at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service Sept. 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Things were seriously heading off the rails.
Then — in the middle of all this — Charlie Kirk reached out.
He invited me to come on his show to talk with him. He wrote:
“Hey, Van, I mean it, I’d love to have you on my show to have a respectful conversation about crime and race. I would be a gentleman as I know you would be as well. We can disagree about the issues agreeably.”
Unfortunately, before I could even respond, Charlie Kirk was killed — seemingly assassinated for the words he’s spoken, though the killer’s exact motives are still being investigated.

A source familiar with the investigation told The Times that a bullet struck Kirk’s carotid artery.
(,..)
The gunman is believed to have killed Kirk from at least 200 yards away using some type of sniper rifle, law enforcement sources told The Times.
(…)
Witness Seth Teasdale told the Salt Lake Tribune that the gunshot was so loud it echoed across the pavilion where Kirk was speaking.
Brynlee Holms told the Tribune the shot was “super loud,” which added to the panic in the crowd.
“I just heard a clear shot, ‘Boom!’ And that was it,” another witness told KUTV.

What’s true:
1. Yes, dozens of influencers including myself were invited to an event by Charlie and his team, not by Bill Ackman. Charlie wanted to get to know rising conservative voices and where we stood on various issues.
2. The subject matters were primarily about the following topics: Islam’s growing presence in the West, marriage/dating, Mamdani, right wing in-fighting, the economy, and various narratives regarding Israel
3. Charlie wanted to see us respectfully debate him and each other. There was a RANGE of views there on every topic. He wanted to learn our perspectives and analyzed our debating skills from an objective POV.
He started each topic with a provocative statement to encourage the creators to debate. EXAMPLE: One of the topics he started by saying (rough quote) “If I were to post right now ‘Bibi Netanyahu needs to resign,’ what would be the reaction?” This of course led to a number of responses. Someone said the post would indirectly empower Hamas and Charlie responded that her statement was “moral blackmail” and that if she wants to debate the topic of Israel, she needs to work on using more facts and less emotion.

A month before Charlie Kirk’s killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others “hammered” Kirk for the conservative leader’s growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli “blackmail,” sources say, as he began attending Catholic mass.

The Israel-Gaza border is one of the most secure borders on the planet, Israel/US have some of the best intelligence on the planet, Iron Dome went down, and Israel were warned an attack might happen.
Combine this with how quickly Israel escalated and seemingly eager to remove not just Hamas, but the entire Palestinian population from Gaza.
Israeli intelligence also seem to be back working all the sudden after ignoring warnings from Egypt and failing to stop the Hamas attacks. They went from not having any idea what’s going on, to dropping air strikes all over supposed Hamas positions, taking out over 1,900 Palestinian civilians along the way (according to UN).
Cui bono? Who stands to gain from this? Certainly not Hamas or Palestine. But Israel now have the unwavering support to bomb Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, civilians, whatever the hell they want. If Israel wanted an excuse to take control of Palestinian land, it would behoove them to let an attack like this happen.
Same concept as 9/11.
Then you take into account the already massive amounts of atrocity propaganda. The beheading babies hoax significantly influenced the emotions of the world, and helped Israel convince the public that their coming response is justified, no matter how many civilians they killed with collateral damage. They have convinced much of the American public that all Palestinians are subhuman savages that deserve to be exterminated, even the children. All based on WILDLY exaggerated claims that have since been debunked. But the damage is already done.
All of these happenings are the textbook precursors to genocide, and it appears that it has already begun, and many Americans are cheering it on.
Yes, Hamas terrorists killed civilians, but if you think the story stops there, you haven’t been paying attention.

Then Charlie Kirk, founder of “Turning Point USA,” joins to discuss Beyonce‘s new Levi‘s ad portraying a faker look than the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ads, the leftist meltdown about the Sweeney campaign compared to their praise of Beyonce, the attempt to gaslight about the Sydney Sweeney backlash as a fake MAGA controversy, the truth about the left‘s coverage of the campaign as using Nazi imagery and promoting white supremacy, some Israel supporters demanding their 100% support for Israel at all times, some attacking their moral character and trying to dictate their coverage, outrageous accusations of antisemitism,

We lost an incredible human being.
His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact.
Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk

The comments are notable coming from Cruz — both as a loyalist of President Donald Trump and as chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, which has oversight authority over the FCC.
He also joins other prominent GOP lawmakers warning about how the FCC wields its power, as Democrats continue to decry the pressure to suspend Kimmel’s show as a free speech violation.
Earlier this week, Cruz said at a POLITICO AI & Tech summit that the First Amendment “absolutely protects hate speech,” although he added that it doesn’t make people “immune from consequences” from their employers.
Charlie Kirks Ermordung droht die US-Rechte weiter aufzuwiegeln und die Hoffnung auf sozialen Fortschritt zu erlöschen. Denn dass politische Kämpfe mit Worten und nicht Patronen ausgetragen werden, ist eine Überlebensfrage für die Demokratie und die Linke.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk threatens to embolden the far right and provide Donald Trump with a pretext for crushing dissent. Escalating political violence corrodes democratic norms and poses a unique threat to the Left.
