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.

There’s just a few examples there’s much more going on with that scam organization.
that poster needs to up his meds. Completely unhinged.
Keep up your satanic accusations if you wish. And I will continue to point out your demonizing and how you are all cucks of the left and YRAITORS to everything that Charlie thought for. You are unworthy to wipe the crap over holis boots.
Yeah, I’m the unhinged one. I’m defending a godly widow against satanic accusations against her and his widow, from a group that are satanic late comers on this site.
Against his orginization
If you agree with them, then you are part of that agenda also. I’m not going to stand for it, in a Biblical Christian Conservative site founded by a GODly dedicated wonderful man. Jim would be ashamed of this thread.
There’s nothing “godly” about Erika. Trust me on this.
Get behind me satan

LOL- another swing and another miss fool...
Go to DU and slam her with the other fools in this thread- that’s where you should be....
Unbelievable.
I wonder about the audience too. Hope it close to fair, given it is on CBS.
OK, it’s clear you are undersized and we’ll throw you back to continue to develop.
Good luck.
LOL- you get dumber with each reply and you were past brain dead four posts ago...you’re basically lower than Tim Walz retard level....
I saw no one attacking her. They expressed their opinion but not one attacked her.
Point out an attack on her to me.
