Brilyn Hollyhand Calls Charlie Kirk's Memorial Service at State Farm Stadium a National Revival
Brilyn Hollyhand, chairman of the RNC Youth Advisory Council and author of One Generation Away, joins Newsmax's live coverage of Charlie Kirk's memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, describing the packed stadium and overflow crowds as proof that a movement cannot be killed along with a man. Alongside Citizens Alliance CEO Cliff Maloney, Hollyhand reflects on Charlie Kirk's mentorship, calls him a martyr, and announces plans to visit college campuses across the country this fall to carry on Kirk's approach of having hard conversations to heal political divides. Maloney recounts Kirk's role in building the ground game in Pennsylvania and credits him with the philosophy of pairing talk with action. Together they frame the memorial not as a somber gathering but as a revival, with both men committing to continue Kirk's work of engaging and registering young voters across the country.
Newsmax's live coverage opens on a packed State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where worship music fills the arena and overflow crowds gather outside, with people lining up as early as midnight the night before to try to get inside for Charlie Kirk's memorial service. The anchors describe the venue as filled with people who knew Kirk personally, ahead of remarks expected from the president, vice president, members of the cabinet, and Erika Kirk.
Remembering Charlie Kirk
Coverage notes that Charlie Kirk was 31 years old, while emphasizing that his legacy and the future of Turning Point USA feel brighter than ever inside the stadium. One anchor recalls seeing Kirk backstage at a rally in Glendale while he worked to get JD Vance elected, remembering Kirk telling her, "We got Arizona for you."
Brilyn Hollyhand: "You Can Kill a Man, But You Can't Kill a Movement"
Brilyn Hollyhand, chairman of the RNC Youth Advisory Council and author of One Generation Away, tells Newsmax that the scene inside the stadium is proof that a movement cannot be killed along with a man. He calls Kirk his mentor and now a martyr, describing a revival sweeping across the nation. Hollyhand says the assassin who killed Kirk attempted to silence his generation but instead woke them up, and announces he will travel to college campuses across the country this fall to carry on Kirk's legacy of having hard conversations to heal the country's divide.
Cliff Maloney on Charlie Kirk's Ground Game
Cliff Maloney, CEO of Citizens Alliance and a friend of Kirk's, explains that Kirk was the reason his organization was brought in to run the ground game in Pennsylvania, working alongside partners including Scott Pressler. Maloney says Kirk's vision was that talk alone was not enough and that the work of registering voters and engaging communities had to follow. He describes the memorial scene as a revival and says the best way to honor Kirk is to continue doing that work.
