One of the questions in the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk was what would happen to The Charlie Kirk Show. His widow, and new Turning Point USA CEO, Erika Kirk has revealed what is in store in the future.
During Friday’s edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, the new Turning Point USA CEO joined the show to discuss the next steps for the program.
“The Charlie Kirk Show is not going anywhere,” said Kirk. “My husband’s voice will live on. The show will go on. We will have rotating hosts, rotating cast, rotating people coming on … Nothing is changing. But I want to preface: we’re not awkward, we’re not like weird, we’re not going to be tweeting as if it’s him. That’s tone deaf and really disturbing, and anyone who does that’s morbidly off. That’s not what’s happening.”
Kirk noted that the existing team at the program, including Executive Producer Andrew Kolvet, will continue to lead and produce the show. The assembled team will utilize clips of Kirk — whether it be from his show, speeches, debates, events on college campuses, or any other avenue in which Charlie Kirk spoke — as the basis for the program going forward.
“We need to be able to have people have a show where (the audience) can ask questions. ‘Hey, I’m up against this. What would Charlie say?’ We can play a clip of what Charlie said a month ago, a year ago,” Kirk said. “We have decades’ worth of my husband’s voice. We have unused material from speeches that he’s had that no one has heard yet … because my husband was so intentional about making sure that there was enough content.”
Kolvet noted that Kirk “would not do a speech unless we could get the video and the audio. 100%.”
“In the words of my husband, buckle up, because there is a lot of content to be had,” Kirk concluded. “And we have so many amazing things down the pipeline that we are working on currently that we will unveil in due time. I am so excited.”
