I'm Jon Favreau.

I'm Tommy Vitor.

On today's show, Lovett is joining us from Minneapolis, where he's been talking to protesters and residents about the latest on the ground there.

We're going to talk about that, about how the political blowback from the second American killed by federal agents is finally causing at least a partial retreat by Trump in the White House.

And we'll also get into how Democrats in Congress are planning to use this week's government funding deadline as leverage to demand changes to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.

But first, by now you all know and have probably seen footage of federal agents killing 37-year-old Alex Preddy of Minnesota, an ICU nurse who was filming the agents on his phone and helping a protester who'd been pepper sprayed when the agents tackled him to the ground, removed a gun they found on Preddy, and then shot him at least 10 times.

Preddy is the second American citizen federal agents have killed in Minneapolis, and somehow the government's immediate response...

might have been even more offensively dishonest and sickeningly cruel than their response to Rene Good's killing.

Stephen Miller smeared Pretty as a domestic terrorist and a, quote, assassin who had planned to murder law enforcement, which J.D.

Vance retweeted.

Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino and other assorted dipshits followed suit.

Here is some of what they said immediately after the killing.

We can set aside which protest Scott Besson attended where he brought a billboard, but.

Yeah, not enough caviar at 11 Madison Park, I think he was.

You think it was a soybean type, a soybean related thing?

It's a good call.

Yeah.

So we are going to spend some time on the blowback from this response that we just witnessed.

I do think it's worth spending a minute on how you guys feel, not only about the murder of Alex Preddy, but what the government said and the storyline they tried to push in the immediate aftermath, which I can't seem to stop thinking about.

Tommy, you want to start?
