FROM FOX NEWS: During Friday’s episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” the late conservative activist’s widow, Erika Kirk, recounted how her mother once told him he would be his generation’s Rush Limbaugh.
Kirk appeared on the podcast to reflect on the show’s humble beginnings and its wide reach, speaking just over two weeks after her husband’s death. She recalled how her mother sensed his potential before the program became widely known.
“’You know what, honey?’ she said, ‘God has blessed you with an amazing voice. And you will be the Rush Limbaugh of your generation,’” her mother told Charlie in 2020, according to Erika.
She suggested her mother’s prediction was prophetic. Speaking to “The Charlie Kirk Show” executive producer Andrew Kolvet, she said, “And two days later, you and him engaged in conversations about the show and about the podcast.”
“To see ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ grow from that moment until now has been so humbling and beautiful. And he loved every single day. He read every email,” Kirk said, adding that he saw the podcast crew as “an extended form of family.”
Kirk went on to say that hours of never-before-seen footage of Charlie exists. She said his social media accounts will stay active and that the footage will be used to feed it, along with posts from people involved with the show as they all contain pieces of Charlie.
