<p>Ben Shapiro weighed in on Sunday on the lasting legacy of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated just over a week earlier during a campus event at Utah Valley University.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire editor emeritus spoke with Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy about Kirk just hours ahead of a massive memorial service that was set to take place in Kirk&#8217;s home state of Arizona, and he said that the way Kirk had engaged with people was something that would stand the test of time.</p>

<p>&#8220;A year from now, what will Charlie Kirk&#8217;s legacy be?&#8221; Doocy asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think Charlie&#8217;s legacy in will be death the same as it was in life but significantly, significantly larger,&#8221; Shapiro began. &#8220;And that will be the thought of him on campuses, having open, robust discussions, convincing people, because Charlie was about convincing people that the conservative way of thinking, the Biblical way of thinking, was correct, and he spent his life pursuing that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He also happened to be behind the scenes an unbelievably good coalition builder, and so I think that that is going to be part of his legacy as well,&#8221; Shapiro added.</p>
<p>Indeed, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. credited Kirk with bringing him into the coalition that ultimately helped propel President Donald Trump back into the White House in November of 2024.</p>
<p>Shapiro also addressed the idea of safety at Kirk&#8217;s memorial, where someone had been arrested one day earlier, and he said that the current political climate had many Americans constantly looking over their shoulders.</p>
