Kayleigh is not leaving.

But she was talking about how I jumped to a conclusion in saying that Alex Prattie was murdered and had this line that I was no better than.

than Kristi Noem in doing it, and I was one of those coulda, woulda, shoulda, because right after, I was like, you should have just said, I'm not the head of the Department of Homeland Security.

I'm not responsible for the security and safety of 330 million Americans.

I am somebody who has paid for my opinion, and I have watched a ton of video on this and listened to a lot of people in positions of power, including governors, states like Oklahoma and

and Vermont, who have said the same thing.

But that's my coulda, woulda, shoulda.

On the gun rights issue, it was really interesting listening to Joey Jones, who is a veteran, lost both of his legs with an IED incident.

He's a gun owner.

There are many pictures of him on the internet with his closet of guns or his whole basement.

It's a lot of guns.

He said something about being a Second Amendment absolutist and then went into things that Alex Preddy had done wrong.

And that argument doesn't make a ton of sense to me because the people who you're seeing online and the NRA and all these gun rights groups are Second Amendment absolutists in the absolute sense.

And it brings up this question of what are the things that you're doing that maybe put you into a less safe environment, which definitely going to a protest is less safe than sitting on your couch and watching heated rivalry.

But that there were things that Alex Preddy did that put him in more of a vulnerable position, like allegedly, though we don't know, he didn't have his permit and his ID on him.

Again, we have no verification that that was the case.

And just the act of having a gun when you go sends a signal that you are there as an agitator versus as a peaceful protester.

Now, I don't see things that way, but this is somebody who, you know, has a very big voice in the military community and the conservative community.

That was his take on it.

And you can look that up online.
