ICE murder terrifies country as Trump defends, Natl Guard prepared

**David Pakman** (0:00)
We start today with a video out of Minneapolis showing an ICE agent shooting a woman through her car window during a massive federal immigration raid. The woman, a US citizen, was trying to leave after receiving conflicting commands, shot and died. Some are saying this is murder. Others were saying it is self-defense. I am not unsure which of the two it was, and we will talk about it. Donald Trump blamed the radical left. This genuinely has the potential to generate a civil war-like environment in the United States. I don't say that lightly, and we will talk about it. The fallout has been enormous. Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota says he is readying the National Guard to be up against Trump's ice, which is both incredible and potentially potentially escalatory, but necessary, I believe. We will also talk about the sudden proposal from the White House for a 60 percent increase to the military budget. I thought Trump wasn't going to be that guy. And now his budget proposes increasing the size of the military by 60 percent. And later, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says the president has announced there is an order to end obesity. I mean, listen, ban obesity, ban covid. Why not just ban things? Right. Except we know that doesn't make any sense. All of these stories and more. Plus, a soybean farmer, Caleb Ragland, will join me. We've got a great show today.
Donald Trump's ICE agents appear to have murdered a woman, a 37 year old American citizen. This is a story unlike any I have ever covered on the show, and it is one of the most disturbing stories, certainly of Trump's second term, never mind of the entire time that I have been doing this. And we deserve to describe it accurately. Renee Nicole Good, a 37 year old US citizen, a mother, a writer, was shot and killed by an ICE agent during a massive federal immigration operation in Minneapolis. The shooting was caught on video, multiple angles, clear footage. She was just driving away after being given conflicting information about what she should be doing. ICE agents surrounded her car. They gave conflicting orders. One agent said, drive away. Another said, get out of the car as she tried to maneuver away from the agents. An ICE officer fires three shots through the window. She drives a short distance, crashes and dies in the hospital. I'm going to play it for you. OK, there's nothing particularly graphic in the video. It was not a foot chase. It was not a shootout. It was not someone charging at an officer with a vehicle nor a weapon. I'm not going to do as a Pruder style film analysis of the video. But if you look closely, you will certainly notice that the officer was not at risk of getting run over. This was even if you say, oh, well, she was disobeying a legal command. Does that justify getting assassinated? So listen, here's the video. This is the United States of America right now. Why every single media outlet is not calling this what it is. I don't know. But that's a whole other problem.
She stopped. Officers get out. So you hear someone say, get out of the fucking car.

No, no, she.

OK, and there is the moment. Now, the key thing is the officer who shoots, who in this angle is briefly obscured by the vehicle. As you see the car accelerate, you see that the officer is to the left of the car. The wheels are turned. She's not about to run this guy over.
And then shooting through the window. We're not going to look more deeply at the video. The video, if what you want to do primarily is analysis of the video, the video is out there and you can certainly do it. But what is important here is that she was trying to leave. And that really matters because even in the most charitable interpretation to the ice agents, she was disobeying an order that justifies making an ice agent who is not in any danger judge, jury and executioner. This is not law and order. This is not the United the way the United States is supposed to work. Now Donald Trump very quickly weighed in and he says the agent was acting in self-defense from what he said. It's hard to believe the officer is alive. Really? The officer wasn't hit and then later ran towards the vehicle. Trump posting, quote, I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was obviously a professional agitator and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE officer who seems to have shot her in self-defense. None of that happened. None of that is true. Trump continues, based on the attached clip, it's hard to believe he's alive but is now recovering in the hospital.
