When asked about wearing masks alongside ICE agents—especially given the current political climate—he avows that he would not. Proudly standing his ground, he admits that his visibility makes him a target, not only for critics but potentially for threats to himself and his family.
He cites examples of individuals who have acted courageously in public—such as Daniel Penny who intervened in a subway incident—and others who have left lucrative careers to fight for their country, like FBI agents. He asserts that ordinary Americans stepping up in the face of violence and disorder are true heroes, and it is crucial to hold wrongdoers accountable, especially in recent incidents of violence in Cincinnati and elsewhere.
