Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk appeared [1] on The Charlie Kirk Show on Friday, assuring viewers and supporters that both the organization and the show will carry on following the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk earlier this month.
Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10 during a TPUSA “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University, where he was hosting a debate-style discussion with attendees.
His death stunned the conservative movement and left questions about the future of TPUSA and its media platforms.
Erika Kirk, his widow, succeeded him as CEO and used her appearance Friday to emphasize continuity.
She said the radio program will remain on the air with a rotation of hosts drawn from among Kirk’s colleagues.
“Collectively, each one of you are a piece of his brain,” Erika Kirk said on air.
“I know we’ve talked about this. Blake [Neff], economics, foreign policy, Andrew [Korvet], pretty much a lot of stuff. Mikey [McCoy], humor, Christianity, sports, youth, social, pop culture, Miss Daisy, like everyone, has a piece of his brain that still lives on, and so what I’m getting at here is, The Charlie Kirk Show is not going anywhere. My husband’s voice will live on; the show will go on. We will have rotating hosts.”
Her comments followed an emotional speech at a memorial service on Sunday, during which she forgave her husband’s alleged killer.
On Friday’s program, Erika Kirk also revealed that her late husband had intentionally left behind a large collection of recorded content to ensure that his voice and message could continue well into the future.
“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,” Erika Kirk said.
“We have Sunday specials lined up to the brim, because my husband was so intentional about making sure that there was enough content, always.”
Andrew Korvet, who worked alongside Charlie Kirk, confirmed that each speech was documented for future use.
“We would not do a speech unless we could get the video and the audio,” Korvet said.
Erika Kirk added, “One hundred percent. So, we have speeches that no one’s heard of, we have interviews that no one’s heard of.”
Erika Kirk also pointed to the organization’s continued growth in the weeks since the tragedy.
TPUSA, founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, has seen a surge of new applicants since his death.
She explained that her husband had already laid out plans for the organization that stretched well into the next decade.
“Similar with Turning Point USA, Charlie had a plan moving past 2030 that he’s shared with the team and has implemented so we’re not going anywhere,” she said.
“We have the blueprint.”
TPUSA has become one of the most influential conservative student groups in the country, with chapters across college and high school campuses nationwide.
Charlie Kirk was known for his direct speaking style, campus tours, and efforts to mobilize young conservatives.
Erika Kirk emphasized that his mission will continue with both the organization and the media platforms he built.
Her remarks closed the week with reassurance to supporters that the work of TPUSA and the presence of The Charlie Kirk Show would remain in place, carried forward by the team and content Kirk left behind.
