Did she say that or is this your assumption?
I believe it was in reference to the operation of TPUSA.
Just my assumption based on how Andrew Kovit led up to it, saying Erika got a call from someone really important and asked her how much behind the scenes she knew. And he said “everything”. And then how he also mentioned it was appropriate that Megyn was there and also given what Megyn had been speaking about lately regarding the pressure to not criticize Israel.
Watching the larger clip, its fairly clear and obvious that they are talking about how much Erika knows about how the Charlie Kirk show and operation are run.
he mentions its appropriate to make the announcement about Erika as the new CEO of turning point when Megyn kelly is hosting the show, because (as he talks about BEFORE this clip) Megyn and Charlie had a interesting relationship and connection regarding TPUSA.
Nothing in the whole discussion suggests to me, anyway, that its anything about Israel or pressure or even the assassination.

Ok fair but also why wouldn’t they just say she knew everything about the operations and how the organization was run. Seems very straightforward thing to say. Also would Megyn Kelly really say oh she knows the assassin on live podcast? Is she stupid? They’re raising questions so we the amorphous crowd can continue to dig and search for the truth. How can you do that without speculation?
There's nothing wrong with speculation. The problem happens when someone takes speculation and treats it like fact, or fails to acknowledge that its speculation and not fact, etc.
Because it was overly clear from the context. They were having a conversion about <topic> and when things are perfectly clear from context, you don't need to be saying things explicitly.
Example: Two people are looking at a door. One of them says: "Shut it!" He doesn't need to explicitly say Shut the DOOR, because both of them know from context what he is talking about. This is a very natural part of how language works.
I dunno. It seems to me that concluding that Kolvet is saying Erika knows everything about <assassination/enemies/etc> is a pretty big stretch.
And, I suspect, that some folks would just take that conclusion and bury it in their mental database as a fact. Oh, Erika Kirk knows all about who was behind the assassination, etc. Personally, its a conclusion I think requires a lot more corroborating evidence than the limited statements made in this short clip.
But you did say that this was your assumption, and you should get top marks for that. (Too many folks forget that they are making and presenting assumptions.)
And, to be fair, when I wrote: "its fairly clear and obvious that they are talking about how much Erika knows about how the Charlie Kirk show and operation are run..." I was actually stating my own conclusion, and not a fact. So, that one is on me.
Maybe we'll find out which it was one day, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm OK with my conclusion and my reasoning, but who knows?
This part of the show starts at 10:45 -- This is a link to the full show --
