The Erika Kirk Mystery Continues...

[00:00] This video was sent to me and I thought

[00:02] that this was extremely interesting.

[00:04] >> And when you hear Erica Kirk, you

[00:05] probably think of the Erica Kirk on the

[00:07] left there who's everywhere. She was the

[00:09] wife of Charlie Kirk who was recently

[00:10] assassinated. But we're going to be

[00:12] focused this video on this Erica Kirk.

[00:15] This Erica Kirk was first lady of

[00:17] Florida in the 1960s and 70s and she was

[00:20] married to the Florida governor whose

[00:23] name was Claude Kirk. So when Claude

[00:25] Kirk was elected governor of Florida in

[00:27] 1966, he was single. He was actually

[00:29] called the most eligible bachelor in

[00:31] Florida at the time. [music] And when he

[00:33] had his inauguration ball in January of

[00:35] 1967 after he took office, he shocked

[00:38] all of Florida when he showed up to the

[00:40] ball with a woman. And this girl was

[00:42] just a total mystery. No one knew who

[00:44] she was. No one had ever seen her with

[00:45] Claude Kirk before. And when he

[00:47] introduced her to people, he just

[00:48] referred to her as Madame X. So it

[00:50] turned out her name was Erica Matfeld.

[00:53] And she was born in Germany in 1934. And

[00:56] then she moved to Brazil. And before

[00:58] Claude Kirk, she was married to an actor

[00:59] named Carlos Dolabella and she worked as

[01:02] some sort of model or actress, although

[01:04] she doesn't really have any credits to

[01:06] her name. It's also important to note

[01:08] that when they got married, Erica Kirk

[01:10] was 33 years old when the governor

[01:12] married her. He was 41 years old. Why is

[01:15] that important? Because that is very

[01:17] similar once again to Charlie Kirk's

[01:19] story. Because C Kirk, Claude Kirk,

[01:22] Charlie Kirk, C Kirk, when he married

[01:25] Erica Kirk or Erica Fronty [music] at

[01:27] the time, she was 32 years old, almost

[01:30] 33. Huh. [clears throat]

[01:31] >> And his story is actually kind of

[01:33] suspicious. He was this really, really

[01:35] rich guy. He was actually a lawyer and

[01:38] then he made a bunch of money as a

[01:39] president of an insurance company. And

[01:42] then he abruptly quit and he established

[01:44] some sort of investment firm that had

[01:46] offices in Jacksonville, Brazil, and

[01:49] Ireland. And he spent a lot of time in

[01:51] South America.

[01:52] >> Claude Kirk, the governor of Florida, in

[01:55] May 1967 in response to lobbying from

[01:58] the Walt Disney Company. You know, this

[02:00] governor actually signed into law

[02:02] legislation which created the Rei Creek

[02:06] Improvement District and granted the

[02:08] Walt Disney Company self-governance

[02:10] status. Remember the day that everything

[02:12] happened with Charlie Kirk? There was an

[02:14] individual that was asking him the

[02:16] question at the time. Hunter Kak is the

[02:18] son of a director at the Jimmy Kimmel

[02:21] show. His father's name is Steve Kak.

[02:25] Steve Kak's father is a guy by the name

[02:27] of Elliot Kak. Elliot Kak actually

[02:30] worked alongside a guy by the name of

[02:31] Bob Hope. Bob Hope is was this super

[02:34] popular American comedian, actor,

[02:36] entrepreneur, producer, but he actually

[02:38] holds the record for hosting the Academy

[02:41] Awards ceremony 19 times. Well, Bob Hope

[02:45] is actually or was very close to, yep,

[02:48] you guessed it, [music] Governor Claude

[02:50] Kurt.

[02:52] Oh, yeah. Did he got a podcast?
