I've been now forced to engage security if I'm in a place of high volatility like New York City. So it's, Grant, it fundamentally messed me up because I was literally by myself, had no one to talk to, cried for him, cried for our country, cried for his young family.
And just the thought of having such a young man at 31 years old, aggressively ripped away from his life, fucked with my mental health so much.
I can't tell you how hard it is. It's like Charlie wasn't my best friend or anything, but Charlie was a friend to all of us, somebody who put his neck out there. And that really hurt me.
It felt so personal. It's hard to express how deeply troubling and painful it was for me. And I'm pretty sure that for everyone else here, it was too.
And we all had our ways of coping. But Charlie Kirk was the one of the heads of our movement. And I used to say this, a future president of the United States, and I find it very, very troubling to have to deal with the fact that he is gone.
Yeah, well, thank you for that. And welcome back, buddy. Good to have you back in society.
Yeah, thanks, Grant. And that's a great question. The whole George, yeah, Charlie was, I mean, we're all still dealing with it.
But that was, I think you're lucky to have not been on social media when Charlie Kirk was murdered because I've never watched the video. And I don't use to go, you know, I won't. Yeah, I don't want to.
You know why? I have the benefit of the untainted view of that. I don't need that in my head. And I'm sorry that a lot of people had to.
And it is painful to know that his kids are going to grow up. And when they see that and that hurts, just the thought of that hurts because it's just I don't want it. I don't need to see it.
