Brilyn Hollyhand Launches Campus Tour in Honor of Charlie Kirk Despite Rising Threats
In a world where young voices often feel overshadowed, 19-year-old Brilyn Hollyhand is stepping into the spotlight, determined more than ever to make his mark. This young conservative political commentator is embarking on an exciting journey called the “One Conversation at a Time” tour, which kicks off on September 26, 2025, at the University of Arkansas. The tour will make a total of ten stops at various universities, aimed at engaging students in dialogue about important political issues.
A Tribute to a Mentor
So, what’s motivating this tour? Hollyhand is honoring his late mentor, Charlie Kirk, who tragically lost his life in an assassination on September 10 during a public event at Utah Valley University. Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA and had been a crucial influence in Hollyhand’s life since he first interviewed him for his podcast as an 11-year-old fourth-grader. Kirk’s guidance helped Hollyhand to establish himself early on; he even launched a conservative political website, The Truth Gazette, while still in fifth grade.
Facing Challenges with Courage
In light of Kirk’s shocking death, Hollyhand finds himself in a challenging position. He has noticed a significant increase in death threats—his security is now heightened, with campus security escorting him to classes. Hollyhand himself stated that the threats against him have more than tripled since the tragic event. However, he is not backing down. Instead, he feels compelled to continue the work that Kirk started, choosing to be “louder” and “bolder” in his activism. His rise in popularity has also led to frequent appearances on national media platforms, including Fox News, where he continues to share his message.
A Conversation on Legacy
While Hollyhand acknowledges the deep loss felt with Kirk’s passing, he emphasizes that there’s no true “replacement” for his late mentor. He wants to carve his own path while embracing the values and mission that Kirk stood for. Instead of attempting to imitate Kirk, Hollyhand aims to be authentic to himself while inspiring others to engage in civil discourse. He considers Kirk a “walking, talking beacon of hope” and intends to carry forth that legacy through his upcoming tour.
Building a Movement
Having gained nearly half a million followers on social media, Hollyhand has developed a dedicated platform that resonates with many young conservatives. In 2023, he was appointed as co-chair of the Republican National Committee’s Youth Advisory Council, further cementing his status as a rising star within the conservative movement. His vibrant personality and passionate speeches are sure to create engaging discussions across campuses as he embarks on this tour.
Calling All Young Activists
For those interested in participating and making their voices heard, Hollyhand’s “One Conversation at a Time” tour promises to be an impactful experience. It will not only pay tribute to Charlie Kirk but also inspire a new generation to step into their role as active participants in political discussions. As Hollyhand boldly journeys forward, he remains committed to his cause, proving that even in the face of adversity, one’s passion can shine through.
Final Thoughts
Brilyn Hollyhand is making waves in the political landscape at an age where many are still figuring out their path.

With each stop on the “One Conversation at a Time” tour, he hopes to engage and energize students, instilling in them the importance of discussion and debate.
