Updated 10:06 AM CST, December 4, 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — Turning Point USA leader Erika Kirk will speak about the aftermath of her husband Charlie’s killing in a prime-time “town hall” event televised by CBS News on Dec. 13, the network said on Thursday.

The event will be moderated by Bari Weiss, the network’s new editor-in-chief and founder of the Free Press website.

Charlie Kirk, a conservative political activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated by gunshot while speaking to college students in at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

Kirk will take questions from evangelicals and religious and political leaders at the event, which will be pretaped at a New York studio. It will be shown at 8 p.m. Eastern, preempting the Family Film and TV Awards, which will be delayed a week.

“Like so many people around the world, I will never forget the moment that Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer,” Weiss said. “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.”

7. If my husband died in such a horrifying way in front of me

The last thing I would want is a bunch of cameras in my face. But that's just me.

3. ...

5. That's one fair and balanced town hall, I'm here to tell ya

"Mrs. Kirk, was Charlie the greatest man who ever lived?"
"Why yes, yes he was."

[BannonsLiver]

14. "Erika, why are all Democrats demons and should they all be executed?"

[Sneederbunk]

6. Oh, brother.

[Mysterian]

8. Why not just make Erikkka Kirk the new anchor for CBS "News"

And Stephen Miller the news editor?

9. We've fallen through the ice

10. Defines Must NOT See TeeVee

11. Will she

Be sitting on a couch with Vance? For “emotional” support.

[marble falls]

12. Chalkie Burke is soooooo jealous. Will JD Vance be in the crowd?

[BannonsLiver]

13. Alternate headline: Two incredibly evil, disgusting people hijack network TV for a night

[Lovie777]

15. She's insane like the rest of them....

Vance might be the lurking in the shadows🧐

16. That is a Saturday night.

It’s air time, sure. But no one watches live network on a Saturday night. Paramount+ to promote streaming undoubtably. But again, who watches THAT slop? It will make its way into social media feeds and clips here and there. This raising of Kirk to sainthood is NAUSEATING.

17. I can hear Walter Cronkite spinning in his grave.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Why? To push the propaganda.

[Oneironaut]

19. I love a North Korea style town hall. It sure is great having government propaganda shoved down our throats.

I almost laughed at loud at the fact that this is called a "Town Hall," but, the question askers range from either religious nutjobs to Trump butt barnacles. Anyone who watches this crap is going to have a sore throat from all the bullshit force fed down their esophagus.

[Borogove]

20. It will be a steady stream of inanity and insanity with a little depravity thrown in.

[bluestarone]

21. YUCK!!

YUCK and Triple YUCK!

[B.See]

22. Donald (I wanna get rid of 'those' people) Trump's sycophant, who reportedly

facilitated the removal of a lot of Black CBS execs, plans to platform white supremacists in prime time. What could go wrong?

(Will they be distributing free pointy hoods, I wonder.)
