Erika Kirk is expected to share a timeline of what happened on the day Charlie Kirk was fatally shot.
Erika Kirk, the newly appointed CEO of Turning Point USA, is set to give her first television interview next month, nearly two months after the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk.
The businesswoman and mother of two is scheduled to appear on the Fox News show “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Nov. 5 for a wide-ranging interview that will delve into her husband’s legacy and the importance that faith has had in their lives, the network announced on Oct. 27.
During the sit-down, Erika Kirk, 36, will discuss the future of Turning Point USA—the nonprofit organization her husband cofounded in 2012 and that she was unanimously elected to lead in the wake of the 31-year-old conservative commentator’s death on Sept. 10.
Erika Kirk is expected to share a timeline of what happened on the day her husband was fatally shot while speaking to college students at Utah Valley University in Orem during the first stop of his organization’s “American Comeback Tour.”
Ahead of the interview, Watters will visit Erika Kirk at Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix.
The television host will also join her on an Oct. 29 stop of the organization’s tour, which has been rebranded as the “This Is the Turning Point Tour,” scheduled to take place at the University of Mississippi in Oxford.
“Jesse Watters Primetime” will air live from the Ole Miss campus during the event, which will see Erika Kirk introduce Vice President JD Vance to debate and field questions from university students.
Fox News will also present a multi-part limited-edition docuseries about the tour on Nov. 7, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage with Erika Kirk.
On Oct. 14, which would have been Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the slain influencer the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
While accepting the nation’s highest civilian honor on her husband’s behalf, Erika Kirk delivered a tribute to his life and legacy.
“To the Turning Point USA chapters that are watching all across America right now: You are the heartbeat of this future and of this movement,” she said in part.
“Everything that Charlie built—you guys are the legacy holders of that. You’re living proof that his mission did not die with him. It lives through you. And Charlie always said the next generation will decide whether freedom endures. And because of you, I know that freedom will endure. It will.”
Closing her speech, she said: “Today, as we honor Charlie with this incredible Presidential Medal of Freedom on his birthday, I stand here with tears and just a humbled heart and spirit because his story reminds us all that to live free is the greatest gift, but to die free is the greatest victory. Happy birthday, my Charlie.”
