4. Kirk tells her children their father is 'on a work trip with Jesus' 

The interview touched upon how Kirk informed her children of their father's death by telling them how he was "going on a work trip with Jesus."

When her daughter asked where he was, Kirk said she replied, "Daddy's still with Jesus," assuring her, "If ever you want to talk to daddy, you just look up to the sky and start talking to him," and that "He can hear you."

Noting how she has told her daughter "Daddy is in Heaven," Kirk said her daughter asked, "Does that mean he's in a different house?" She answered in the affirmative: "Yes, baby. He is building a house for us, some people would say a mansion."

This prompted Kirk's daughter to ask if she could "go sometime," which led her to reply, "We will all go one day."

The interview also included footage of Kirk giving Watters a tour of Turning Point USA's headquarters, which features a section filled with gifts that supporters of Kirk have sent to the family following his assassination. Kirk tells her children that their father is "orchestrating with his friends to send them little presents so that they never forget that daddy's watching over them."
