Oxford, Mississippi, USA — Just moments ago, on The Megyn Kelly Show, the celebrated host took viewers behind the scenes of one of the most talked-about events in America — the record-shattering Turning Point USA gathering at Ole Miss, featuring Erika Kirk and U.S. Vice President JD Vance.
The discussion opened with footage of the massive crowd that filled the university arena — thousands of students waving flags, singing along, and standing in near silence as Erika Kirk took the stage. Megyn Kelly called it “a night of conviction, courage, and something you could feel in the air.”
“You couldn’t fake that kind of energy,” Kelly said. “There was faith, there was emotion, and there was Erika — standing there, speaking straight from her heart.”
The event, hosted by Turning Point USA, marked one of the largest student-led political gatherings in Ole Miss history. But beyond the headlines and attendance numbers, it was the emotional weight of Erika’s message — and her unexpected bond with Usha Vance, wife of the Vice President — that caught everyone’s attention.
Megyn Kelly described the moment when Erika and Usha met backstage before the show. The two women, both known for their quiet strength and unwavering faith, shared a conversation that Kelly said “brought the room to stillness.”
“You’ll want to hear this part,” Megyn teased, smiling. “It changes everything.”
Though she didn’t reveal every detail, Kelly hinted that the exchange between Erika and Usha touched on family, faith, and the quiet resilience that comes from living in the public eye — and losing someone you love deeply.
Erika Kirk, the widow of the late conservative leader Charlie Kirk, has become a symbol of grace and endurance since her husband’s passing. Her words that night echoed across the arena:
“Faith doesn’t disappear when the world gets dark — that’s when it shines brightest.”
As she spoke, the crowd of students — many of them in tears — rose to their feet in a standing ovation. Even Vice President Vance, usually reserved, was visibly moved.
Kelly reflected on the moment:
“You could see it in their faces — they weren’t just listening. They were feeling it. Erika’s message reminded them what America used to believe in — faith, family, and purpose.”
The segment quickly became one of the most-viewed clips of The Megyn Kelly Show this month, spreading across social media with the hashtags #ErikaKirk, #JDVance, and #TurningPointUSA trending nationwide.
Viewers called it “a conversation America needed,” while others praised Kelly for bringing authenticity and emotion back to political storytelling.
Behind the cameras, producers say there’s more to come — including a special “off-the-record” moment between Erika and Usha that Kelly described as “too powerful to forget.”
