The video shows Kirk talking to his little daughter as she sat on his lap. “Storytime,” Kirk said. “We're here at Bill's Burgers in New York City. Right near this very table was the first time that I met Mama.”

He added, “It started as a job interview. I was asking all these questions, asking all these questions, philosophy, religion, Jesus. Then I realized Mama was beautiful and smart and elegant and Christlike. I said, Forget this job interview. I. I said, I have enough friends. That's where your journey started.”

‘What a wonderful father God blessed her with’

In a broadcast from Turning Point USA's headquarters in Arizona, Erika tearfully said after her husband’s death, "You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife, the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”

Erika and Charlie Kirk share two children – a son who turned 1 in May and a daughter who turned 3 in August. In her September 12 address, Erika revealed what she told her daughter after the assassination. "When I got home last night, our daughter just ran into my arms ... and she said, 'Mommy, I missed you.' I said, 'I missed you too, baby.' She goes, 'Where's daddy?'" Erika said. "What do you tell a 3-year-old? She's three. I said, 'Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don't you worry. He's on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget.'"

Kirk, 31, was allegedly shot dead by Tyler Robinson on September 10 during an appearance at a campus event in Utah. The shooting happened around 12:20 pm local time during a student Q&A at UVU in Orem, per a statement from Utah Valley University (UVU).
