The Karol Markowicz Show: Brilyn Hollyhand on Faith, Free Speech, Campus Po

By The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

June 12, 2026

What motivates a 19-year-old conservative activist to travel the country debating politics on college campuses despite security threats and intense opposition?

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with rising political commentator Brilyn Hollyhand, author of the upcoming book Make America Talk Again. Brilyn shares how a fourth-grade mock election sparked his passion for politics, how an early interview with Charlie Kirk shaped his career, and why he believes America’s biggest problem isn't that people talk too much—it's that they no longer talk to each other.

The conversation explores free speech on college campuses, political polarization, faith, leadership, social media, President Trump's connection with young voters, and the challenges of being a young conservative voice in today's culture. Brilyn also discusses the personal impact of security threats, his commitment to campus engagement, and the role his Christian faith plays in guiding his mission.
