He is a human after all. Seeing the eyes while he’s discussing gives a different look at Kyle. You see the love and concern for his family.

[@MaidensWorldOfWax]

Doesn't matter if you like him or not, Glad he and his family are ok. Too many shootings and chaos these days.

[@kallieburton3812]

Amen amen praise god your ok brother Kyle god bless you

[@BigOleMatty]

thats what happens with so many broken homes and people not having morals...

[@MaidensWorldOfWax]

@@BigOleMatty That's part of it, the problems are way more complex than just morality.

@@BigOleMatty thats what happens when you dont have gun control

Lets go Brandon

Thank God Kyle and Family is safe...hug and love your family...nothing is more important ❤️

[@tomgunn8004]

Jesus is more important!

[@ronzigato]

Kyle did a great job of answering some uncomfortable questions.

[@stacewalker7956]

I’m really glad he and his family made it out ok. It’s such a shame you can’t even take your family out for a good time without having to face something like this.

[@timmyhillfacts6455]

Uber glad no one was hurt, not just the Busch family but everyone there, extremely frustrating to hear stuff like this keep happening, people pulling out guns in large crowds over some petty little argument.

[@CharlesB9496]

So thankful that KB, Brexton, and Samantha are OK. I could only imagine what was going through their minds during that.

[@mehcrunch23]

I’m glad Kyle and brexton are ok.

[@parkerbeard6170]

Glad Kyle and his whole family are okay. He makes a good point that we need to enjoy our lives everyday as smart as we can. You never know what tomorrow brings. Years ago I was in a nightclub having fun and just minding my own business. Unfortunately a couple of guys randomly decided to target me to rob in the club. When I didn't believe them, one of them pulled out a gun 🔫, for a split second when I saw it I was fearing I was seconds away from being shot at. Luckily all they wanted was my money and all they got was a Dollar. I'm greatful to still be alive today!

[@killvixlet]

Alot of us can think of a moment that probably make us not like Kyle, but when this stuff happens it makes us feel for him and who was involved, it makes you think this shit happens and just to come out alive and ok is a blessing, I'm glad Kyle and his family are ok along with everyone else

[@nathanwichman5114]

Never been a Kyle Busch fan myself, but regardless what you think of him, it’s good to see he’s okay

[@iaayj9114]

It’s really scary how bad our crime rate is now. We have so many more criminals running loose in our country than we ever have. It seems to be everywhere now. I’m really glad they are ok.

[@dylanbrown4635]

That's what happens when you take away resources from those who want to protect us and also demonize and demoralize them at the same time

[@tayronachan]

You can thank the left and G. Soros funded and elected DAs for that. And that is the truth.

[@ViaticalTree]

Not that it isn’t a problem but gun death rates were higher in the early 70s and again in the late 80s early 90s.

[@steveperyer4850]

Our world is in crisis, and this is scary in our country, as we are out of controlSo glad your family is okay

[@simonfrazer5209]

America is in crisis you guys suck the rest of the world doesn’t have mass shootings everyday

[@michellechampion5707]

Yes

[@JGunz9191]

Not a mass shooting isolated incident of a dispute

[@NickyD]

its been in crisis for years soical media makes more people aware of stuff now adays

[@Me181]

Yes

[@donvelvet9556]

Very scary, thoughts and prayers for Kyle and his Family

[@brianhiedemansr2936]

I live in St. Paul. I hope that this experience doesn’t deter him or his family from coming back to visit again. I am glad that he and his son were okay.

[@Lorenzo-hn1pr]

St Paul is a fly over town. One and done I'm sure. Nice airport however.

[@jerrycraig6522]

A good guy with a LEGALLY OWNED and carried firearm is what we need EVERYWHERE!!!

[@gotemlookin20]

Amen

[@marinestingray7282]

Facts

[@toxicchlorine1729]

That won't end these tragedies, but it is a good step at sharply reducing them. Addressing the root problems like the f---ed up school systems or mental health crisis could solve the mass shootings problem.

[@jshaffer9495]

trying to figure out who is the good guy 90% of problem

[@bigblue1762]

When does a good guy become a bad guy, too simplistic. We don’t live in the wild wild west

[@SouperGoose62]

Thank you for the content you post Noah. This was sad but I'm so glad we can see stuff like this

[@darbyallen6807]

So thankful to GOD that you and Samantha and the kids were safe. Good Lord thank you. Love you guys.

[@pamleblanc9016]

Good old Minnesota,55 shootings so far, Minneapolis closed up restaurants, people getting mugged leaving twins games, I live here and it’s sad to see what they have done.

[@evanthomas5378]

Even though I am not a Kyle Busch fan I’m still happy that they are all ok.

[@KonwTheTrut]

Glad he’s safe. Not my driver but glad he and his family are safe.

[@rmorris3722]

Glad you and your family are ok. Time to digest what happened.

[@lauriemorales999]

I am happy that Kyle and his family are safe. I live in Minneapolis so it is scary when stuff like this happens. I hope that they will come back again and not be completely turned off to this experience. Yes, there are some bad people in the world but there are plenty of really good one's too.

[@shaynejenkins446]

This has been happening all around Minneapolis for decades. And in the this mall a bunch of times. It wasn't an active shooter scene like what they want you to believe, It was a gang shooting and no one was injured. You only heard about this one because a celebrity was inside the mall at the time.

[@leesnellings9951]

Uea. Usually innocent bystanders the ones getting killed when these POS members start spraying bullets everywhere

[@traviscarpenter08]

Glad your family is safe Kyle and your family and everyone in the mall

[@roberthyer2825]

Best interview with him in a long time thank god they’re ok

[@eugenecarter181]

I’m glad him and his family are OK I can only imagine what he was going through worried about his kids and wife it is a shame we cannot go out and do things we used to do without having to worry about that

[@kmgipson]

Glad they’re ok

[@thomaskelley135]

WELLLLLLL I don’t wanna be the one to have to say what we are all thinking. Liberal led States tend to be the most unsafe. Not to say it wouldn’t happen anywhere, we’ve seen that. But all I’m saying is that coming from Minnesota I’m not surprised. Happy everyone is alright.

[@trentbryant2373]

Democrats are absolutely Air heads. They are more interested in stuffing that stupid woke stuff down our throats and turning a blind eye to criminals. They will be out soon. America isn't that dumb, I don't think????

[@Soccerking81]

Yet, European countries that have adopted more liberal stances on firearms have significantly fewer mass shootings than the United States. Just some food for thought. Agreed that it is a blessing that everyone is safe and okay.

[@johnstark4723]

@@Soccerking81 lol, you really believe that BS the lamestream media shoves down your throat don't you. You know that when England banned guns that homicides jumped 300% and shooting went up the same amount and stabbings as well. The people of England can't defend themselves and even the police are outgunned. Only 1700 police are "licensed" to carry a gun there so no one can stop the the criminals. Every country that has strict gun laws are in the same boat but lamestream media won't tell you that.

[@deathtrooper2048]

@@Soccerking81 The UK has more stabbings, also there was less mass shootings before the 90s when they had less restrictions in the US. Also the former prime Minister of Japan got assassinated with a gun despite guns being banned

We have similar situations here in Canada occasionally, but can’t imagine it being a daily occurrence.

[@jimmieroan9881]

sorry to hear kyle and his family had to go through this but thankful they are all safe, can't imagine what went through his mind knowing him and his wife and baby were separated from each other while this unfolded, had to be terrifying. amazing the comments i read even mention they don't like him or are not fans, this is a life situation not a racing scene, i'm embarrassed daily by the complete ignorance and character of lots of the humans we live around.

[@ICEGOD68]

Happy they where ok. Living here in Minnesota you couldn’t pay me too go in any mass populated gatherings.

[@acrossawire1123]

For the first time in my life, I'm actually concerned about this stuff. It's not necessarily going to stop me from going to the MOA or State Fair, but it is in the back of my mind that such things can and do happen here now. I'm old enough to remember 30 years ago when Minneapolis wanted to be Big City like Chicago... well congratulations... that's what the lunatics who run the city have turned it into in all the worst ways!

[@SouperGoose62]

So sad. Thank goodness he and his family are okay

[@nickcassararacing]

Not a Kyle fan but glad he and his family are ok

[@stevewolff7187]

The Mall of America used to be a fairly safe place to go with your family. Years ago they completed the light rail train system which allows certain individuals to ride for free from the great parts of Minneapolis to the Mall. Now it is a gang hangout. Sorry, I will no longer go there.

[@patriciagraber3123]

Happy you and your family are all okay! You still are my favorite racer. Good luck this Sunday.

Ever since the incident in 2020 in Minnesota/Minneapolis happen. Crimes have been increased in the MN. I live in Minnesota and about 30 minutes from MOA. And I heard about Thursday and it was scary and sad to here at the Biggest attraction in the state with 10000 lakes

Sorry that Kyle and his family had to experience this. It is becoming an everyday experience. Her we are living in a country were there are a lot of liberties and experiences yet times like these it is as though we are living in the jungles of SE Asia or a war torn village in the Ukraine or Afghanistan.
