When Megyn first announced the lineup for her nationwide Megyn Kelly Live tour on September 8, Charlie Kirk was set to headline the show in Bakersfield, California, on November 20. Two days later, he was assassinated.
Megyn decided to continue on with the tour, saying it was more important than ever in the wake of his passing. Soon after, she shared that Erika Kirk would be joining her for the final stop in Glendale, Arizona, on November 22 for one of her first long-form interviews since her husband’s death and being named CEO of Turning Point USA.
On Saturday, Megyn and Erika were joined by a sold-out crowd at Desert Diamond Arena for an emotional and wide-ranging conversation on her background, her marriage, continuing her husband’s mission, the power of prayer, and more.
