Overview

  • At Fox Nation’s Patriot Awards in Brookville, New York, Erika Kirk received the first Charlie Kirk Legacy Award and pledged to “keep speaking the truth.”
  • Fox Nation says the award will be given annually, with Jesse Watters, Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean presenting the honor on Thursday night.
  • Turning Point USA announced earlier that Kirk was unanimously elected CEO and chair of the board following her husband’s killing.
  • In her first TV interview this week, she urged the Utah court to allow cameras at the trial and said she wants the government to determine any death sentence sought by prosecutors.
  • Authorities have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in the Sept. 10 shooting, an in-person hearing is set for Jan. 16, 2026, and viral posts claiming Carrie Underwood criticized Erika Kirk have been debunked.
