Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck and BlazeTV hosts Allie Beth Stuckey and Alex Stein are among the conservatives who have agreed to step into the breach and complete Charlie Kirk’s fall campus tour in the wake of the Turning Point USA founder’s assassination earlier this month.
Turning Point USA, now under the tutelage of Erika Kirk, announced on Monday that the tour would resume, starting with a stop at the University of Minnesota.
The widowed mother of two evidently meant it when she told the nation, “If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country.”
“Nobody can match the energy and hard work and drive that Charlie had — I mean, literally nobody,” the eponymous host of “Prime Time with Alex Stein” told Blaze News. “So it’s going to be up to a team of people to continue Charlie’s mission of defending the First Amendment as well as the entire Constitution.”
Beck, whom Kirk asked to participate in the tour prior to his assassination, told Blaze News, “I begged them not to have me help them complete the college tour because I’m not Charlie Kirk. I can’t do what Charlie Kirk does.”
Nevertheless, the bereaved conservative indicated that he will do his best on Oct. 9, teaching young Americans about their country’s history and honoring his late friend.

Following TPUSA’s announcement regarding the tour, Allie Beth Stuckey noted, “Honored to join Turning Point’s college tour this fall. We’re not going anywhere. For Jesus, for America, for Charlie.”
‘We have to keep Charlie’s mission alive.’
Stuckey, who will be at Louisiana State University on Oct. 27, subsequently revealed that Kirk had asked her to join him on the tour prior to his assassination by a leftist coward and noted that while the date has changed, the directive remains the same.
The shooting on September 10 serves as a painful reminder of the continued threat posed by the radical left.
Beck underscored to Blaze News that the message sent by the tour’s completion is, “We are not afraid. We will not sit down. We will not comply. We will not hate. We will not respond in kind. We will love you. We will serve you. But we will continue to speak.”
“You have to live fearlessly,” said Stein, who has been attacked on numerous occasions by violent liberals. “You have to live unapologetically.”
Stein, whose next date on the tour is Sept. 24 at the University of Central Florida, suggested further that the refusal to throw in the towel after the bloodletting earlier this month is “going to inspire a lot of people to actually go out there and have difficult conversations.”
Other guests and speakers on the tour include Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, along with Republicans including: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, Utah Sen. Mike Lee, and Ohio gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy.
“We have to keep Charlie’s mission alive because that’s what Charlie would have wanted,” Stein said.
