He was very well spoken and had common sense things to say and he called out the media for being sensationalistic with their coverage of tragedies. He called out politicians on both sides for being more concerned with reelection than doing their jobs.

I got a bit emotional when he talked about how some of the kids killed in Uvalde were only identifiable by DNA thanks to the exit wounds from the high caliber rounds. I have to admit it made me think about the purpose of those type weapons in the hands of everyday citizens. The reality is that a lot of people own them that don't go out and commit mass murder.

Honestly, I think he could run for office if he was so inclined.  I've heard him speak on various topics, and he's usually right on point, and usually seems to trend centrist, with a dash of Libertarianism.  It's not like we haven't had actors in politics before.

I think he could too but he has said he has no interest in it. He would not be a popular choice for the swamp people and the left would skewer him. 

I read some of the comments (big mistake) from the video I watched of his speech and the left were saying, of course he wasn't actually emotional about the subject. He's an actor and was using it to come across as sincere. I'm sure those same idiots also think Amber Heard was sincere in her testimony and not acting at all. And the dumb cow 'journalist' who immediately asked him if, or maybe why he was being melodramatic in his speech. There is no hope for humanity with people like this procreating.
