Erika Kirk to open up about life, loss and politics in town hall airing on CBS
CBS ^ | 12/4/2025 | CBS News

Posted on 12/10/2025 9:36:05 AM PST by God luvs America

Three months after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated, Erika Kirk will open up about life, loss, the state of political discourse and more in a one-hour town hall event moderated by Bari Weiss, CBS News' editor-in-chief. The special will be broadcast on Saturday, Dec. 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CBS television network and will stream later on Paramount+ and CBS News 24/7.

The event, filmed before a studio audience, will feature Kirk fielding questions from young evangelicals, prominent religious leaders, and figures across the political spectrum. The conversation will also focus on our country's political divide — and how we can find our way out.

Erika Kirk is the chairman and CEO of the Turning Point USA. The organization was founded by her late husband, a conservative political activist who was shot and killed on Sept. 10, 2025, while speaking before a crowd on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

"Like so many people around the world, I will never forget the moment that Erika Kirk forgave her husband's killer," said Weiss. "I am eager to speak to her — and thrilled to be doing so in front of a group of Americans who I know will elevate the conversation."

The town hall will be recorded in New York before an invited audience.

I said don’t post to me any more. I’m not going to stand for a GODly widow being attacked here. It is the agenda of Satan. This is a godly site.

Yep, me too. Remember she’s a pageant creature, and they’re . . . always just a little over the top and appear phony. And you’re right about the hair.

I wasn’t referring to Erika. I don’t have a strong opinion of her either way.

However, she stopped being protected by the “grieving widow” role when she took over the political pundit / million dollar political organization CEO role.

She is fair game for whatever people want to say.

Also, you need to stop threatening people who offend you with violence. It’s not civilized. It’s very 3rd world behavior.

Yep, I just can’t really put my finger on it. But I can’t deny my doubts.

Personally, I like her. At first I didn't like her. I couldn't imagine her not taking more time to mourn her husband's murder. That she was constantly out in public seemed a bit phony because it was too soon after his murder.

Then I realized that she too has long been hip deep in TPUSA, like Charlie. She can't let it down. And not just for Charlie -- she's long been emotionally invested into TPUSA too. So her being public, being an example of the morals that need to be restored in our culture -- this is the real her. With or without Charlie she would be doing this (just not getting as much attention as she is now). Once I understood that, I quit seeing her as phony and see her for how she presents herself.

A Godly widow , especially one who’s husband advanced the gospel should not not be attacked..l ALL such attacks are demonic.

Right Wing without a Biblical basis is almost as useless as left wing.

It’s a free country and I can call out weakness when I see it whether they have similar interest and thinking like I do or not.

><

Well, you need to refine what you call weakness because what you said is stupid and makes no sense in my book.

Your reading comprehension seems low…

So there’s that.

Proves again there is no universally agreed upon humorous statement.

...drinking early?

I never, ever drink. Haven't ever been a serious drinker and decided around 1975 to make that a firm decision. My mother was an abusive alcoholic.

Sorry.

Not every joke works. I'll go back to serious anti-leftist hate speech from now on. Attracts fewer critics.

Interesting arguments people are making on the thread - she’s “making too many media appearances”, even though she is making fewer than the previous head of TPUSA was making - and she also doesn’t host his daily radio talk show.
