So this morning, I watched Secretary Noem's testimony in front of the United States Senate yesterday, and I had three big takeaways from this. You know, one was she refused to walk back her statement that Alex Preddy was not a terrorist. He was just a guy protesting, exercising his constitutional rights. And because of that, he's now dead. The other thing was my colleague, Thom Tillis from North Carolina, you know, I watched his questioning of her. (00:18–00:24)
