Grieving widow Erika Kirk made a rare appearance on her late husband’s podcast, sharing how his legacy and voice would live on in his absence — vowing that “The Charlie Kirk Show” is here to stay.
Kirk hosted Friday’s episode and reassured listeners that the Turning Point USA founder’s political movement and popular show will continue with a new format and a rotation of emcees, just two weeks after the 31-year-old conservative activist was viciously assassinated during a speaking event in Utah.
“‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ is not going anywhere,” the mom of two stressed.
“My husband’s voice will live on. The show will go on. We will have rotating hosts, rotating casts, rotating people coming on. It is going to be continually the north star of the conservative movement, of the voice of the youth, of the voice of the base, and that will not end.”
Kirk, who laughed and smiled throughout the episode, recalled her mother once telling the slain right-wing influencer that he was his generation’s Rush Limbaugh — a compliment that drove him to take his show, which launched in 2019, to new heights.
She also reaffirmed her pledge to continue her sweetheart’s “American Comeback Tour” on college campuses nationwide, adding that Turning Point USA, where she was recently named CEO, is moving “full steam ahead” with even more work than she “could ever dream of.”
“We’ll never be silenced,” Kirk said.
“That’s why continuing his platform in a beautiful, honorable way will reinforce that he will never be silenced. My husband’s voice will go on.”
Her appearance comes five days after Charlie’s memorial service, where she publicly forgave Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of gunning him down at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.
“He wanted to save young men. Just like the one who took his life,” Kirk said through tears, speaking behind the presidential seal on stage at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.
“I forgive him because it was what Christ did. And what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate.”
