@kennychesney @TheTimMcGraw My first Chesney concert was July 6, 2001 in St.Paul, MN… opening for Tim McGraw. Been a great run and many epic memories since.

I didn't really know anything about Charlie Kirk Until this week Kirk was a name and face I would occasionally see someone retweet on here and I would scroll past. I'd seen 2 or 3 short videos taken from Tiktok of him debating some low IQ college student but that was it. I'm generally not interested in MAGA. I broadly believe in many of their goals, but find much of the rhetoric and policy implementation to be self defeating. To me Kirk was another Ben Shapiro or Tim Pool. All MAGA, all the time. Immediately following his shooting my shock was political and societal. Another step down in what seems to be the never ending descent of American, and thus Western, society. Another sad day for free speech, no matter what you thought of the man's politics. Then in the following hours my timeline was filled with videos of Kirk as a father, and my heart broke. I saw a man that was clearly devoted to his family and who loved them, and was loved in return, a great deal. I felt that love forever torn apart. I saw a daughter that would never run to her father and wrap her arms around him again. The following day I saw more videos on here, and out of respect and curiosity I watched them all. Maybe they would make some sense of why someone felt the need to end this man's life and rob his children of a father. They did not. Contrary to the tweets spreading through X as some kind of justification, what I found was a man who was deeply religious. I man that had a true belief system, and not one that he bent or shaped to fit to modern society. For example. he absolutely believed that homosexuality was a sin because that was what the bible told him, but he did not hate or think less of those people. Many of his close friends such as Peter Thiel and David Rubin were gay. What I see when I watch the videos of Kirk is a fan of deep faith who put that faith above everything else. I see a man who treated everyone with compassion and civility. I see a man that was friendly and open and honest. Honestly, I see a man that is braver and better than I. Not because he put himself in danger by wanted to talk to people, but by handing himself completely over to a belief system that I've never been able to get my head around. Like many of us, the idea is alien to me. I can't say I don't watch his videos with a tinge of jealousy. What I see is a man who was completely happy. A man confident in his faith and who led his life accordingly. A man who not just believed, but acted on his belief. At a time when so many people seem empty and depressed, it's hard not to be a little jealous of a person that seemed so fulfilled. With this in mind, it's been incensing to see him slandered on here by people without any of the faith and none of the commitment. To see people take the man's faith and turn it into something twisted and hateful. I knew nothing of the man in life, but I will try to listen to him more in death.

This is officer Ivan Sandoval. He approached me as I was creating the video I just posted. When he approached me, I thought “uh oh I’m in trouble”. But I was surprised. Ivan is one of the brave officers keeping us safe in LA. He’s also the son of illegal immigrants. He’s seen the violent rioters, and the peaceful protesters. He sees nuance. He understands firsthand that two things can be true: The people who came to America illegally broke a foundational law. The people who came to America illegally were desperate and wanted a better life. The past few days have been both inspiring and discouraging. Discouraging, because I see people on both the right and the left painting reality in black and white, refusing to critique their own tribe. Inspiring, because I’ve met people like Ivan. People who go beyond blame. Beyond sides. People who think clearly. This group needs to grow. Fast. Every week brings multiple new controversies. We only stop being outraged at one because it’s time to be outraged at another. It’s exhausting. America is in a polycrisis. Not just political. Cultural. Psychological. Spiritual. Multiple fault lines are being exposed at once. We’re too focused on picking sides, and not focused enough on healing the divide. When things go wrong, we have to stop just pointing fingers outward. We must also point inward. We must humble ourselves and see: we are each part of both the problem and the solution. The problems will continue to multiply until we realize that what we do matters. But how we do it matters too.
