What recent video evidence challenges the narrative around Alex Pretti?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Welcome in Thursday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Tom Holman started off the day bright and early 8 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. in Minneapolis. I love it. As a guy who used to get up early for radio, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt Buck, when I was on live at 5 a.m. Central every day for five years, nobody in media elsewhere was awake. I have been on Radio Row for 5 a.m. starts when I was the only guy there. Media hates getting up early in the morning, so I actually love Tom Holman starting off the day and setting the agenda for the entire day with what I thought was an incredibly fantastic performance at his press conference. And we're going to get into that.
President Trump right now is having a live cabinet meeting. It has been going for about 20 minutes. Judging by how these cabinet meetings have gone in the past, he may be talking for a couple of hours. The most transparent and open administration that we have ever seen, answering questions on every object under the sun. We will discuss that as we are continuing to move through the program. But, Buck, I would say major blockbuster revelations on Alex Preddy, the hero nurse who was alleged to have been completely killed with no idea. He was just a quiet standby protester. And this video that came out. was it is echoed across the entire internet such that I think it's hard for reasonable people who are not in complete left-wing silos to not say, my goodness, this guy, again, I encourage you, if you haven't seen the video, I understand a lot of you may not be active on social media, but about 10 days before the shooting,
This pretty character was out on the street screaming. I don't even think we can play the video because there's so many curse words in it at ICE agents to basically fight him with a lot of expletives included. He then spits on them. And he kicks out the taillight of the vehicle that they are in. The ICE agents get out of the vehicle. They tackle him.
How do Clay and Buck compare Alex Pretti's case to the Duke lacrosse scandal?
And this, to me, is a good example of toxic empathy because 1 billion percent the guy should have been arrested for attacking the vehicle, for assault on ICE officials, for his behavior. This was not a mentally stable individual. And anybody who watches this is going to... have a hard time believing. And I want to play this. Anna Navarro, cut 17 on CNN. This whole narrative, much like the mom who just dropped her kids off story, it's completely gone up in smoke. But here was Anna Navarro saying, this is the perfect guy, the guy you want to date your daughter, the man you want your son to be. This is embarrassing for her in the wake of this latest video, cut 17.
They killed the wrong guy, right? Because this is like the perfect guy. Alex Pratt is the guy you would want to date your daughter. The guy you would want your son to grow up to be. A decent human being who was serving humanity, serving sick veterans. There is nothing that has been said about that man that isn't wonderful. And so they can't malign him. They can't malign him because we have the videos.
All right, Buck, this video came out. I know you've been reacting to it. I've been reacting to it. My hope is my mother-in-law is staying with us because her power is still out. She said nobody who needs to see this video is going to see it. So there may be wisdom from my mother-in-law there. But what were your thoughts when you saw this video of hero nurse Alex Preddy?
Well, first off, on the CNN side of this, if you think that she's going to be embarrassed by the truth, you don't understand the nature of CNN. As I put on X, this is her job. Her job is to lie, to make the audience believe whatever they want to believe. So she did her job. There's no shame in lying at CNN as long as they're pleasant lies that libs wish to hear. That is the gig.
What role does Elon Musk play in shaping public discourse on social media?
And as for watching this video, it's interesting, Clay, because we were trying to be, as we always try to be, very fair and adhere to the facts, right? as they came out about all of this.
