Hey, everybody, welcome. Welcome to The Daily Show. Oh, man, I got a good one for you. My name is Jon Stewart. Great show for you tonight. My guest tonight, Jason Rezaian, will be talking about Iran. Fabulous story. Iran right now, an authoritarian state, currently being rocked by protests that threaten to tear the whole nation apart. I mean, can you imagine?
But yes, like most of the country, I spent the weekend consumed by the awful news out of Minnesota. And I will say, hearing about this has somehow done the impossible, which is... It has dampened my enthusiasm for this week's premiere of the Melania documentary.
Everyone wants to know. So here it is.
Move over, Avatar sequels. Here's another movie that wasn't necessary. No, I was actually really looking forward to it. Go behind the scenes. Find out what went into deciding on such an unusual... Was it courage? Or was it madness? Either way, 10 out of 10, no notes. Also, love the tagline to the movie Melania, the inspiring true story of how an online shopping billionaire paid millions to curry favor with the president.
Am I in trouble? I can't wait for the sequel. Oh, f*** it, just take the money. It's in the hat. But back to the main story. For the second time in two weeks, another American has been tragically killed on the streets of Minneapolis. Now, obviously, all the facts are not in yet. But here is, as best we can tell, the account of what happened on this terrible day.
This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers...
The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Oh, dear God. They must have been petrified.
This individual attacked those officers, wishing to inflict harm on these officers coming, brandishing like that.
Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots. Of course they're defensive. I mean, he had to stand his ground. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
Committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.
Whoa! Committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the second worst kind of terrorism. But, hey, those are the facts. That's the facts. There's really no reason to doubt them. No, evidence exists to contradict... Hold on. I'm getting a, oh, really. I'm hearing there may be some grainy, Zapruder-like footage from, I don't know, every angle imaginable that contradicts the government's versions of events. Videos of the shooting of Alex Preti have contradicted the government's account of what happened. All he has in his hand is a cell phone, not a gun. He's trying to help a woman who's just been pushed to the ground and pepper sprayed. He's trying to go help her with his hands up. They engage him and they're dragging him back.
The videos also appear to show Preti's legal registered firearm being removed from his person by an officer just seconds before those shots were fired.
Wow. Well, it looks like we've got a real case of he said video totally disproves what he said. You know, this is also confusing, perhaps to help get some more clarity on what's going on. We go live to Minneapolis where our own Jordan Klepper has been standing outside in the cold. Jordan, thank you so much for joining us. What's the latest that you're hearing?
