Joe Rogan has expressed bewilderment and a touch of unease over a resurfaced Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) informational video featuring Erika Kirk. The prominent podcast host, 58, delved into the peculiar clip during a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” describing the CEO of Turning Point USA, 37, as having “crazy eyes.”
Kirk, a former Miss Arizona USA titleholder, appears in the video delivering warnings about potential national security threats. Rogan found the footage “very weird,” noting that it deviated significantly from what one might expect from a beauty pageant winner. He elaborated, “She was in some weird CIA films, some weird internal films that she was a part of. It is very weird, it’s about EMP attacks and power grids.”
An “Odd Duck” and “Crazy Eyes”
Rogan observed that the subjects discussed in the video – typically the domain of government officials and defence specialists – were being addressed by Kirk. “She’s an odd duck,” he remarked. Rogan then alluded to a compilation of Kirk exhibiting what he termed “crazy eyes,” describing a video where she makes “demon eyes,” accompanied by dramatic music. “She just gets intense,” he sighed, reflecting on Kirk’s intense facial expressions and overall demeanour during the clip.
Public Reaction: Creeped Out and Unsettled
The public’s reaction on social media mirrored Rogan’s sentiment. Many viewers found Kirk’s appearance in the CIA video unsettling. Comments on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) ranged from suggestions for a horror movie concept to observations about her natural facial expressions.
- One user suggested, “Somebody should make a horror movie out of Erika Kirk. We need that demonic concept into the big screen.”
- Another commenter opined, “It’s like her face just relaxes into its natural comfortable state. Like it must be really exhausting for her to smile and pretend to be friendly.”
- A particularly striking comment read, “She’s not possessed by just one, girl got herself a LEGION of DEMONDS underneath all that fake hair and makeup!”
A Presidential Appointment to the Air Force Academy Board
Adding another layer to Kirk’s public profile, she was recently appointed by former President Donald Trump to serve on the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Board of Visitors. This appointment comes in the wake of her late husband, conservative pundit Charlie Kirk, who previously held a position on the same board before his assassination in September 2025.
White House spokesperson Olivia Wales issued a statement to USA Today regarding the appointment. “President Trump made the perfect choice in appointing Erika Kirk to the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors,” Wales stated.
She continued, praising Charlie Kirk’s service and expressing confidence in Erika’s ability to follow in his footsteps. “Charlie Kirk served proudly on the Board, inspiring not only the next generation of servicemembers, but millions around the world with his bold Christian faith, defense of the truth, and deep love of country,” Wales added. “Erika Kirk will continue his legacy, and be a fearless advocate for the most elite airpower force in the history of the world whose warriors keep our Nation safe, strong, and free.”
The combination of her appearance in a seemingly unusual CIA video and her high-profile appointment has certainly sparked considerable discussion and curiosity surrounding Erika Kirk.
