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 didn't believe this when i saw it advertised on CBS last night....Bari Weiss is really changing things around at CBS- this should be interesting and i hope Erik gets some tough questions as i know she'll knock it out of the park

Who picks the “audience”?

she’s on Outnumbered for an hour now - was on The Five yesterday. she is promoting Charlie’s book on Sabbath. she is amazingly at ease, self-assured and thoughtful, in that she has thought through her approach to life, God, family.

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

I have a hard time watching her...not that “I don’t like her”...just seeing too much of her, I think

I remember when she was on the Rogan podcast and called Tulsi Gabbard a “Putin toadie” for not supporting war against Syria.

When he asked her what “toadie” meant or why it applied to Tulsi, she stammered and stuttered and looked like an idiot.

She is an Israeli spy.

So far in this thread, it looks like the sharp knives are after her.

You like brunettes, not blonds or maybe you float in the other direction?

I won’t say I don’t like her...I’m very judgmental and have kept my opinion to myself thinking I was unfair..but I really do appreciate hearing that I’m not alone..something about her comes across as fake/phony to me - I’ve been around a long, long time and have seen it all and would probably boil it down to “not trusting her.”

If I can say one thing that bugs me - IT WOULD BE HER HAIR....she needs a hair cut...there comes a time when women past a certain age will never recapture their teenage years and should stop trying!

I’ll say it, I don’t like her at all. She seems to enjoy the spotlight too much.
