I, I don't have that ability or that gene.

Um,

I just, because I didn't believe it.

I did not believe it for a single second.

I don't believe someone who espouses the hatred that Kirk did is capable of forgiveness.

I don't even think they believe in forgiveness.

And so I just could not get there, but I hope that she has the space to mourn and to care for her young children and that they have the space to mourn.

You know, I think that those are the truly innocent people in all of this.

And, uh, I would never wish anyone harm, but I don't believe that she has forgiven the man that killed her husband.

But, you know, and I don't believe that her saying it quelled anything.

I think it was just, it was like, performance really is the only thing I can think of.

But I hope, you know, we'll see.

I think that, but, you know, like her actions speak very loudly.

The fact that she is now the CEO of Turning Point.

Like, oh, so we're going to pick up where we left off.

It's terrifying.

I mean, it has... I have been struggling with writer's block for years now, and this has not helped.

Because I have a family now, and...

It's not even about what could happen to me, which I don't relish the thought of anything happening to me.

It's that other people could be harmed because historically I've gotten death threats for about 10 or 11 years now.
