Shut the f-- up!" Brian Tyler Cohen shuts down conservatives in fiery debate - Brian Tyler Cohen
Summary
Brian discusses the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a VA nurse, by ICE agents in Minneapolis on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show with podcaster Tim Miller, former ICE director Jonathan Fahey who served at the end of first Trump administration, and conservative political commentator Brandon Tatum. Brian argues that:
The Incident:
- Alex Pretti was shot and killed by ICE agents after being tackled by six agents while holding only a cell phone
- He was legally carrying a holstered firearm and was disarmed before being shot multiple times
- The Trump administration immediately labeled him a threat without investigation
Political Fallout:
- Brian debates former ICE director Fahey and Tatum, who attempt to justify the shooting
- ICE's approval rating has plummeted to -27 points, the lowest during Trump's terms
- Even some Republican senators and right-wing podcasters are criticizing the administration's handling
- Senator expresses lost confidence in DHS Secretary Kristi Noem
Main Arguments:
- Brian characterizes the shooting as an "execution" with no justification
- Criticizes the administration for refusing accountability and protecting the agent's identity
- Argues that defending such actions represents "cult behavior" rather than principled conservatism
- Warns that this stance could be politically damaging in midterm elections
