"Come after me. Call?me?names.?I?don't?care. Call?me?what you want. Go down that rabbit hole. Whatever. But when you go after my family, my?Turning?Point USA family, my?‘Charlie?Kirk?Show’?family. When you go out for the people that I love, and?you're?making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode?going after the people that I love, because?somehow?they're?in on this??No," Kirk said.?
"I’ve never seen you like this," Faulkner reacted.?
"This is righteous anger because this is not okay.?It's?not?healthy. This?is a mind virus. Yes,?I believe in our?judicial?system. I do. We have a hell of a team working on this?—?excuse my French?—?but this is not okay."?

"I?don't?care what box?you're?in,?but?just know that your words are?very powerful. And we are human," Kirk responded. "My team?are?not machines. And?they're?not robots. They are human. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats.?You name?it,?we have it. And my poor team is exhausted. And every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do,?relive that trauma all over again?"?

"They watched my husband get murdered. I have no idea how I would?have reacted?if I?was?there that day. And thank the good Lord?that I did not have to see?that happen.?But my team, they?are rocked?the core. So?why every single day?did they have to be dragged through the mud, analyzed, hyper-analyzed," she added.?
Kirk went on to slam the "conspiracy collection," vowing she?won’t?back down from them.?
"I'm?not going to sit in a corner and cry and be in?fetal?position," Kirk said. "This is a duty to my husband, and?it's?an absolute honor. And I will?never?back down. And?so,?my message to them is to stop. To stop."?
