Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk and CEO of Turning Point USA, speaks during the event at Ole Miss in Oxford, MS, on Oct. 29, 2025.
Fox News will highlight a Turning Point USA speaking tour stop at Ole Miss in a new documentary and an exclusive interview with Erika Kirk.
Jesse Watters spoke with the widow of Charlie Kirk and the new head of Turning Point USA.
It’s her first since the death of her husband, who was killed by a single bullet on Sept. 10 while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. It was the first of a planned 15-event American Comeback Tour.
Erika Kirk and Turning Point rebranded the tour to This Is the Turning Point and called on conservative political leaders and entertainers to lead events across the country. In Mississippi, Erika Kirk introduced Vice President JD Vance before he debated students and took questions. He covered topics on faith, policy and politics in the Trump era.
The interview will air tonight in full. Later this week, a multi-part documentary including footage from the recent event in Oxford will start streaming.
Watters visited the Turning Point USA headquarters in Arizona in addition to the speaking tour stop in Mississippi as part of his work on the programs.
Here’s what we know about how to watch and new ways Fox News is honoring the Kirk family.

What does Erika Kirk say about her family?
Watters asks if Kirk’s kids still ask where their father is in an advance clip released by Fox Media relations.
Watters: “You told your children that Charlie was going on a work trip with Jesus are they still asking where’s daddy?”
Erika Kirk: “Yes, my daughter continues to ask, but it’s really sweet, because I keep explaining to her a few things, and I said if ever you want to talk to daddy. You just look up to the sky and start to him. He can hear you. It’s always good. And I told her, I said, you know, daddy, daddy is in heaven. She goes do you think I could go sometime? I said, baby, we will all go one day. We will all go one day.”
Is Erika Kirk afraid after her husband’s death?
In a separate excerpt, Watters asks if she feels safe following her husband’s public shooting death.
“What are they going to threaten me with? Going to heaven sooner to be with my husband? And I don’t say that to be reckless. I do not. I do not say that because I’m out in the streets, like, here I am, come find me,” Erika Kirk said. “And it’s not at all, it’s a fearlessness that’s rooted in the understanding that I will have my day and my time, whenever that is. When the Lord knows that I’ve completed my mission. And I’m not afraid. Charlie wasn’t afraid either. We never lived in fear. If we did, we wouldn’t get anything done.”
