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 kinda think she should be less about Charlie (for audiences and media) now and more about stepping back and doing the work that Charlie began, addressing commentary about Charlie when needed and appropriate.

My ex pastor lost a daughter decades ago and he brings it up about once a month ... All you of it. Services became less about worshipping God and more about his own suffering (always with applicable life lessons). I stopped attending for that and other reasons. I found another church. This may happen to her and that would be a real shame.

Perhaps I’ve just become sensitized to it.

When they attack and slander a godly widow, yes I get very angry. It’s du behavior, utterly demonic. Jim would have potted such posts a couple years ago.

“For some reason, I don’t like her. Can’t explain it.”

Agree. I hate the wretched excess of bling. The gaudy fake eyelashes. Flashy and trashy.

If I had young daughters, I would NOT want them to emulate her.

She seems to be in “pageant” /drama mode.

And constantly dabbing “tears” from her eyes. 🙄 High drama.

What’s the line on how many times Ericka dabs fake tears from her eyeliner?

Who gets the money from Charlie’s newly updated life insurance?

Contributions to TPUSA have skyrocketed because of Charlie’s death. MILLIONS!

Who gets the money from book sales now that the author is dead? Like how an artist’s paintings go up in value once they are dead.

So many people at TPUSA are now richer and more powerful because Charlie is dead.

Charlie’s DOGE style investigation into TPUSA finances will not now happen. How convenient.

Can you say “MOTIVE”?

Charlie Kirk did not kill himself and neither did a 30-06.

There is something about her that I don’t care for either just my gut, she seems so disingenuous she is very attractive but Charlie could have done better finding someone REAL!!!

Charlie Kirk’s parents didn’t like her either and wasn’t happy he married her. They didn’t attend the memorial service.

She evidently was a beauty queen. They function on a different level. She dresses and does things differently than I do.

If we can hear about MLK death for 45 years we can listen to Charlie Kirk stuff.

Certainly not in my jeans and chamois shirt level.

White is a mourning color here, as well as black and grey.
