“Three months after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated, Erika Kirk will open up about life, loss, the state of political discourse and more in a one-hour town hall event moderated by Bari Weiss, CBS News’ editor-in-chief. The special will be broadcast on Saturday, Dec. 13, at 8 pm ET/PT on the CBS television network and will stream later on Paramount+ and CBS News 24/7.”

“The event, filmed before a studio audience, will feature Kirk fielding questions from young evangelicals, prominent religious leaders, and figures across the political spectrum. The conversation will also focus on our country’s political divide – and how we can find our way out.”

“Erika Kirk is the chairman and CEO of the Turning Point USA. The organization was founded by her late husband, a conservative political activist who was shot and killed on Sept 10, 2025, while speaking before a crowd on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. ‘Like so many people around the world, I will never forget the moment that Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer,’ said Weiss. ‘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.’ The town hall will be recorded in New York before an invited audience,” says a CBS News press release formatted as though it were an actualarticle.

“How embarrassing,” a plainly disgruntled CBS staffer told The Independent. “Bari’s been Editor-in-Chief for five seconds and has revealed that all she really wants is to be on TV herself.”
