would be too much of a cognitive load. It just can't be done. Can't be done.

So the only way that things will change is if there's an entire new wave of younger probably conservative leaders who didn't believe it from the start. If that happens then you can get governments not believing climate change. But you're not going to change the minds of the ones who put their entire reputation and self-image on the line. You can't change that. That's how cognitive dissonance happens when you have that contrast between what you did and what makes sense.

Well, Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air last night. I'm sure his ratings were big because people wanted to see what he had to say. Got standing ovations and he was tearful and he didn't apologize exactly, but he sort of had a few words around what he did. He said, quote, "I understand that to some that felt that what he said felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset." So it's not an apology. He just says he understands why you're upset. And he said some more. And then he said, "I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone." So he's not going to say that's a MAGA person. And this is a sick person who believes violence is a solution and it isn't.

And then he went for the kill shot. Now, I would hate to say that I may have suggested this. I didn't suggest it to anybody on his team, but I said in public my own opinion was that Charlie Kirk would have wanted him to go back on the air because Charlie Kirk was very pro-free speech and it seemed to me he would have said, "Well, okay, your joke didn't land if it was a joke, but I don't think you should be off the air." That's my opinion of what I think Charlie Kirk would have been all about if he could be here to give his opinion.

And Kimmel did a version of that, but even a stronger version by referencing Erika, the wife of Charlie Kirk, who forgave the murderer. She actually forgave him in public. Now that was a very impactful thing. Yeah, it would be hard not to feel the impact of that. That was so strong. And so Kimmel says she forgave him. Talking about the shooter, she forgave him. That is an example we should follow if you believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do. He said there it was. That's it. A selfless act of grace.

Okay. All right, he nailed it. Yeah, I know you don't want him to, but he nailed it. You know, if you attach it to Erika's incredible strength and her forgiveness and her grace, I think grace is the right answer there, the right word. Maybe it's just time to let it go. Maybe we can be as worthy in some small way as Erika and maybe we should have a little grace.

Now, I understand that we're in a situation where it's sort of a war between the left and the right and we should crush them as permanently as we can every opportunity we get. Maybe. But I do like free speech and I do like grace and I do like forgiveness when it's just about words.
