Turning Point USA CEO and conservative influencer\u00a0Charlie Kirk\u00a0was killed during a tour stop at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday, September 10. Kirk was debating with students during his famous \u201cProve Me Wrong\u201d segment when he was killed by a gunman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As news of Kirk\u2019s death spread, tributes poured in, including many from members of the country music community. Among those who honored the late activist were Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Cody Johnson, Jamey Johnson, Kid Rock, Lee Greenwood, Gary LeVox, and Parker McCollum.<\/p>\n
An outspoken Trump supporter, Kid Rock recently appeared on\u00a0Jesse Watters Primetime<\/em>\u00a0on FoxNews to discuss what he believed the role the media is playing as political sides spar over the potential motive behind Kirk\u2019s killing. The rocker called the mainstream media \u201cfricking public enemy number one right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Kid Rock accused media of ignoring positive, bi-partisan news and focusing on divisive topics.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not saying there aren\u2019t crazy right-wingers that do some of this stuff. There\u2019s a little bit of guilty on both sides. But these people, they\u2019re supposed to be this inclusive this, that, or the other, and they\u2019re the ones who don\u2019t want to talk and get along with anyone,\u201d he told Watters.<\/p>\n Kid Rock stepped in for\u00a0Cody Johnson\u00a0as the headliner at\u00a0Hondo Rodeo Fest\u00a0on\u00a0November 8, after Johnson canceled due to surgery for a burst eardrum. During his set, Kid Rock performed Johnson\u2019s hit song\u00a0\u201c\u2019Til You Can\u2019t\u201d\u00a0and surprised the crowd by\u00a0adding a new verse\u00a0dedicated to Kirk.<\/p>\n Before performing, Rock told the audience that he felt \u201csomething was missing\u201d from the original song and was inspired to write the new verse in Kirk\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, a few weeks ago, I woke up alone early on a Sunday morning and had this song stuck in my head. And in that moment, someone or something spoke to me and told me there was still a verse missing from this song, and to get up and write it down. So I did. And now, I know exactly who was speaking to me that morning,\u201d he said as a photo of Kirk appeared on the screens behind him.<\/p>\n Kirk\u2019s photo remained displayed on the stage backdrop throughout the rest of his performance.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a book that is sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off\/ There\u2019s a man that died for all our sins\/ hanging from the cross\/ You can give your life to Jesus\/ and he\u2019ll give you a second chance\/ \u2019til you can\u2019t, \u2019til you can\u2019t,\u201d he sang on the newly added verse while strumming an acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n About the Author<\/p>\n Carli Eastwood<\/p>\n Hi, I\u2019m Carli!

She\u2019s a social butterfly and loves to be extroverted and outgoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHe can hang, but he\u2019s much more demure. She\u2019s go, go, go, and he\u2019s calm and slower paced. He prefers nights at home, and she prefers nights on the town.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey connect over foundational things like family and morals, but personality-wise, they clash, and there\u2019s already been cracks in the relationship,\u201d the source spilled.\u00a0<\/p>\n The insider claimed that there was a weekend getaway for the couple scheduled for October in a \u201csecluded space\u201d that would give them privacy from being caught in public, but ultimately, it did not happen. <\/p>\n However, the couple has since seen each other, so the relationship remains ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n Despite any recent tension with the pair, they plan to come out as a \u201cunited front\u201d on stage during the live After the Final Rose segment.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey don\u2019t want the fans to get a whiff of any problems as that will just add to it,\u201d the source added.\u00a0<\/p>\n There were a lot of questions at the\u00a0beginning of the season\u00a0about whether\u00a0Mel would pop the question or not by the end of this journey.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was more difficult in the beginning, which is why everyone had doubts, but he really did allow himself to be vulnerable to the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAnd because of that, he\u00a0had a storybook ending, and producers are elated with the outcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cExecs were terrified he wouldn\u2019t get down on one knee and convinced throughout most of the season it was looking like he wouldn\u2019t,\u201d a source previously said.<\/p>\n However, when things ended up working out with Peg, it was a \u201chuge relief\u201d to production.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone is thrilled, if not even surprised, behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n The insider went on to explain that ABC has \u201calready made arrangements\u201d for a televised wedding that will be \u201csimilar\u201d to the one they threw for the first\u00a0Golden Bachelor,\u00a0Gerry Turner.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s unclear when, or if, Peg and Mel will make it down the aisle.<\/p>\n Mel\u2019s season finale\u00a0airs on November 12th at 8 pm ET on ABC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kid Rock Honors Charlie Kirk (Photo by Jacek Boczarski\/Anadolu via Getty Images) Charlie Kirk (Photo by PATRICK T.
