The clip starts with interviewer Jesse Watters asking Erika, "You told your children that Charlie was gone on a work trip with Jesus.

Are they still asking where's daddy?" To the same Erika responds in a low tone, "Yes, my daughter continues to ask, but it's really sweet because I keep explaining to her a few things."She further continues, trying to hold back tears, "And I said, if you ever want to talk to Daddy, you just look up to sky and start talking to him. He can hear you."Breaking down in tear, she shares about her daughter wanting to meet her daddy as she adds, "You know daddy is in heaven.

She goes 'You think I can go sometime?' I said, baby, we will all go one day."Just last week, Erika posted a touching video of her daughter joyfully spotting a poster of her father outside the Turning Point USA headquarters. In the clip, the little girl exclaims, “I see Daddy!” A moment that deeply moved viewers across social media.

Erika reflected on Charlie’s enduring legacy in her caption as she wrote, “Her saying your name, as she witnesses all you’ve built and continue to build, proves that love never dies—it just changes form.

It breathes through our children. This is her legacy also.”Charlie Kirk, the American political activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically assassinated during his “Prove Me Wrong” debate event at Utah Valley University on September 10.
