Overview
- Fox News confirmed that Charlie Kirk will guest co-host Fox & Friends Weekend on July 26–27 alongside Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Hurt.
- The booking aligns with the network’s summer strategy of enlisting outside conservative commentators to fill weekend programming gaps.
- The network has notably reduced its coverage of the Justice Department’s Epstein memo and the Wall Street Journal exposé after President Trump urged supporters to move on from the saga.
- Kirk founded Turning Point USA in 2012 and has become a prominent MAGA commentator with a wide-reaching podcast and radio presence.
- He has publicly disputed a Wall Street Journal report on a Trump-Epstein birthday card and said he would trust DOJ officials and shift focus after an apparent call with President Trump.
