Jon Favreau

Yeah, I mean, you and I did a quick reaction to this for the Posse of America YouTube on Saturday, and we were watching the videos in real time, and I think...

My initial reaction was horror and then rage at the way they were smearing this man and then just like heartbreak for his family and the people who witnessed it in the community and everyone in Minnesota who's living through this.

And I think in the days since we had that conversation, we've learned more about who this guy was, who Alex Pretty was and what he was doing and what happened that day.

And most guys want to say that I think he's a hero and that he like his death was an unjustifiable, senseless murder, but that he was acting heroically.

Not only is this a guy who by day cares for veterans at a VA hospital in his free time, he decided to put his body on the line at these protests in the freezing cold.

bear witness, you know, film these ICE and CBP thugs when they're beating up people in this community.

And then his last act was trying to help a woman who had just been brutally assaulted by a CBP officer.

He was trying to cover her and put his body in the way of her so she wouldn't be beaten further.

And like, I hope- His last words were, are you okay?

Yeah.

And like, I think we'd all like to think that in a situation like that, that we'd have the courage to act in the way he did.

And I hope people take as much inspiration from him as they do

And like with respect to J.D.

Vance and Kristi Noem above, you know, they're the opposite of Alex.

You know, like they are cowards.

They are disgraced liars.

They aren't willing to risk anything to do what is right.

They will only do what it takes to get more power for themselves.

And so they're going to have to answer to voters and to their consciences and to God.

if they actually believe in one.
