“And I was like, ok, that’s getting me closer to feeling like I could do it if I don’t actually have to feel loving in my heart toward the person,” Kelly said. “If you could say something to [the alleged murderer], if you could…say something to his parents, what would it be? Would it be anger? Would it be sympathy? What would it be?”
“It’s a good question,” said Kirk. “It wouldn’t be sympathy. It wouldn’t be anger.”
She paused, thinking. “How do you put this? Anything that I could ever wish upon him or that family would pale in comparison of the justice of God. And so I would look at them almost like, I’m so glad I’m not you.”
Other footage from the interview shows that Kelly and Kirk discussed criticism Kirk has received since her husband’s death and that they also addressed a hug between Kirk and Vice President J.D. Vance that went viral.
In another clip of the interview, Kirk revealed the plans that she and her husband had for growing their family. Noting that Kirk has two children, Megyn Kelly said, “You told me this in private, but how many kids did you guys want to have?”
“We wanted to have four,” Kirk said. “And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered.”
“Oh wow,” said Kelly.
“I was like, ‘Oh goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe,’” said Kirk. “So now when I see young couples, I tell them, ‘Please don’t put it off.’ Especially if you’re a young woman, don’t put it off.”

“You can always have a career. You can always, you know, go back to work,” Kirk said. “You can never just go back to having children, and they grow so fast and so quickly. But I just, I was praying…we were really excited to just expand our family.”
“Thank God you have the two,” Kelly said.
“I know,” Kirk agreed.
“Right now they’re just, you know, little loves,” said Kelly, “and one day they’ll find out that they’re Charlie Kirk’s children, and they’ll know what that means.”
