Erika Kirk to Discuss Charlie Kirk’s Legacy in First TV Interview

Erika Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will give her first television interview since her husband’s assassination. The interview is set to air on Fox News Channel’s program, Jesse Watters Primetime, on November 5, 2023. This appearance comes in the wake of a tragic event that has drawn national attention.

In the upcoming interview, Kirk is expected to reflect on her husband’s influence, discuss his faith, and share details about the events surrounding his death. Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September during an event at Utah Valley University. Following this, Erika Kirk has taken the reins of Turning Point USA, the organization her husband founded to promote conservative values among young people.

The interview will not only cover personal reflections but also highlight the future direction of Turning Point USA. Erika Kirk has been actively continuing the organization’s mission through a national tour titled “This Is the Turning Point.” This week, she is scheduled to speak at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, where she will introduce Vice President JD Vance.

Fox Nation, the streaming service of Fox News, plans to live stream the event. Jesse Watters will also broadcast live from the campus. In addition to the live event, a multi-part documentary series is set to debut on November 7, 2023, providing extensive behind-the-scenes access to the tour and Erika Kirk’s journey in the aftermath of her husband’s assassination.

Erika Kirk has also publicly honored her husband in various memorials. She spoke at a tribute event on September 21 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where she celebrated Charlie Kirk’s legacy. Earlier this month, she attended a ceremony at the White House, where President Donald Trump posthumously awarded her husband the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Jesse Watters was present at the memorial in Arizona and has produced a special program titled “Charlie Kirk: An American Original,” which aired shortly after Kirk’s death. This upcoming interview promises to be a significant moment as Erika Kirk shares her experiences and honors her husband’s contributions to conservative activism.
