Extra: How Charlie Kirk Inspired Young Conservatives

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Millions of people are mourning the death of conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. He is being remembered by many as someone who inspired thousands of young conservatives to become politically active and proudly express their views. The day after Kirk was assassinated, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke with Campus Reform reporter Emily Sturge and Leadership Institute regional field recruiter Cooper Brown, two young Americans who admired Kirk and worked with him. Brown was at the Utah Valley University event on Wednesday and was just feet away when Kirk was shot. Cooper described what he witnessed and explained why Kirk's events, where he debated college students, were so popular. Sturge has been a fan of Kirk since she was a teenager and credited him for her career in reporting. The two discussed his legacy and whether there is a chance his murder will create some unity in the country. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with young conservatives Emily Sturge and Cooper Brown and let you hear more about why they believe Kirk was influential to so many.
