In an interview with Fox News Digital, Michaels shared that after being invited to a Turning Point USA event, his son “turned over” and that he did everything he could to accompany his mother and meet Kirk.

“And of course, my son was turned over. I was incredibly excited, and he was on vacation with the other moms. [Heidi Rhoades]. And I said, “Honey, what do you know? I’ve been working for a week. For example, I have to do an unaccompanied minor trip to go to LA, an unaccompanied minor trip to go to Miami. And I can fly with my business partner Uncle G, from Miami to Tampa. But it’s frizzy, it’s going to be a nightmare, and you’ll have to travel a lot.”
