Jon on Alex Pretti’s Killing, DHS vs. Video Evidence & MAGA’s Gun Rights Surrender | Jason Rezaian

After the second murder of a Minnesota ICE protester by federal agents, Jon Stewart breaks down the increasingly unhinged gaslighting from Trump officials, who are trying to paint victim Alex Pretti as a "domestic terrorist" and ICE agents as innocent kittens, despite clear video evidence to the contrary. And as MAGA and Kristi Noem ignore even their precious Second Amendment in their attempts to justify the shooting of a legally armed citizen, Jon points to the real weapon threatening this administration: cameras.

Director of Press Freedom Initiatives at The Washington Post, Jason Rezaian sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the increasingly deadly protests against the Iranian regime. They talk about the importance of collecting details of the Iranian experience despite the impermeable internet blackouts, how Trump’s desire to make a deal with Iran would only empower the current oppressive regime, the benefits of including Iranian dissidents exiled to the U.S. in policy conversations, and the humor that carried Rezaian through his 544-day wrongful prison sentence in Iran.
