Fox News is gearing up to showcase a significant event from the Turning Point USA speaking tour at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) through an upcoming documentary and an exclusive interview with Erika Kirk, the widow of the late Charlie Kirk. This interview marks Erika’s first public appearance since her husband was fatally shot on September 10 while addressing students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The event was part of the American Comeback Tour, which has since been rebranded as “This Is the Turning Point” by Erika Kirk and the organization.
During her appearance at Ole Miss, Erika Kirk introduced Vice President JD Vance, who engaged in a debate with students, addressing various topics related to faith, politics, and policies during the Trump administration. The complete interview with Erika Kirk will air at 7 p.m. CT on Wednesday, November 5, as part of “Jesse Watters Primetime,” which also livestreamed the Ole Miss event last week.
Additionally, a multi-part documentary series featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the Oxford event is set to begin streaming on Fox Nation on Friday, November 7. Jesse Watters had previously visited the Turning Point USA headquarters in Arizona and now reflects on the impactful discussions held during the tour.
In poignant clips from the interview, Erika shared how her children are coping with the loss of their father. While discussing whether her kids continue to ask about Charlie, she revealed that her daughter often inquires about his whereabouts. Erika explained to her daughter that her father is in heaven and reassured her that they will all be together again one day.
When asked about her feelings of safety following her husband’s tragic death, Erika expressed a sense of fearlessness and strength. She emphasized her belief that she will complete her mission in life and that fear should not dictate one’s actions. The Kirk family had always approached life without fear, a sentiment that underscores their resilience during this challenging time.
In recognition of Charlie Kirk’s legacy, Fox News has announced the creation of the Charlie Kirk Legacy Award. Erika Kirk will receive the inaugural award during the seventh annual FOX Nation Patriot Awards ceremony, hosted by Sean Hannity in New York, with Jason and Brittany Aldean presenting the honor. This award will be given annually to individuals who exemplify Charlie’s commitment to free speech, faith, and family.
This series of events not only highlights the continuing influence of the Kirk family but also reinforces the values of resilience, faith, and community engagement, providing hope and inspiration to many.
