  • He said they do not discuss policy, urged against being “so mired in hatred” for President Trump, and praised efforts to get “terrible toxic stuff” out of kids’ food.
  • Calling politics “a nasty business,” Pratt expressed skepticism about media portrayals and said he won’t “pick his brain” to verify reports about RFK Jr.’s positions.
