In the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death, President Trump's administration

and his allies have promised consequences for people who speak callously about his killing.

Inside and outside of Trump's government, it's led to people being fired, suspended, or reprimanded,

and it sparked an open debate about the limits of free speech.

Hey, everybody. J.D. Vance here. Five days after he was killed, Charlie Kirk's podcast was back

on the air. This time with Vice President J.D. Vance and the host's chair, paying tribute to his

late friend. Charlie was a visionary. He was a luminary.

The 31-year-old conservative activist was shot and killed at a university event in Utah last week,

his death sparking a polarized response.

administration officials hailed Kirk's political prowess

to speak out against Kirk and his message.
