Oh, yeah.
They feel a little frustrated.
find themselves feeling a little helpless within this country at this point.
And we did get a call a few days ago where the advice was just stay indoors, don't get involved, whatever.
And I started thinking about that myself because we could find ourselves in that kind of situation, Gordy.
I mean, we could be out shopping.
I shop an awful lot.
What if they start targeting
Costco or Woodmans for that matter.
And all of a sudden I'm caught up in the whole thing, the mess.
Okay, now.
Joe called us up and I want to get this cut on.
I wasn't sure I was going to play this, but she kind of brought it up and I thought maybe we all need this kind of talking to.
This is a guy very frustrated and and he says it's time to really just get out there and do whatever you can, no matter what the end result is.
So let's listen to this.
This is the critical moment because it is the moment they haven't planned for.
They don't know how to get through this moment.
They only hope it passes quickly because it is an inflection point.
The moment is this.
Once the majority of Americans realize they're dead either way, we can take power back from the authoritarian regime and give it to ourselves.
That's what they cannot plan for.
When all of us realize that what we're afraid of
that we will lose our life, our liberty, all that we have built in our life, all that we care for, all the people we love and want to protect when our fear of losing that would keep us from standing up in the streets.
The inflection point is that that fear dissipates when we realize we're dead either way.
When they can shoot a mom driving home from dropping her kid off for no reason at all and instantly call her a terrorist, you understand the game plan.
They have $175 billion ready to put ice in every town.
They will bump your shoulder, shoot you, say it's your fault, and there is nothing you can do if you don't stand up now.
You are dead either way.
The life you think you have in our protecting is gone either way.
You cannot sit on the sidelines and expect to get through this.
Now is the time.
And they yell at her to get out of the car and she's like, and then starts to back up a little bit and go forward, at which point the
you know, the ICE agent who's holding the phone, mumbles something and drops it, I mean, in my opinion, performatively, to make it seem like they got hit, like they dropped the phone, so you can't see what happened when the shots are actually fired.
I think that was intentional, but that's just my speculation.
There is also another video that's out.
CNN played it.
Anderson Cooper walked us through it.
I thought I'd play this for you because it's it's important.
Again, Renee came to that area, that location before the Ice Asians were there.
OK, so that's really an important issue.
Let's let's listen to cut 147.
What you see is what you get in this case.
You have a woman who is trying to obstruct a legitimate law enforcement operation.
Nobody debates that.
You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator.
Nobody debates that.
Well, to keep it honest, people are debating that.
As I mentioned, CNN has obtained some new video.
Again, it's grainy and distant, but it shows four full minutes leading up to the shooting.
It shows Renee Good's Maroon Honda pilot entering from the right there.
Then 20 seconds later, someone gets out on the passenger side.
We don't know who or why this person leaves the car.
We then see her turn and pull perpendicular across the street, seeming to block the way.
But as you see here, leaving room for vehicles to pass by her on either side.
What
young mother shows up and decides they're going to throw their car in front of ICE officers who are enforcing legitimate law?
You've got to be a little brainwashed to get to that point to where you're willing, not just to protest.
That's fine.
not peacefully protest, but throw your vehicle in front of legitimate law enforcement officers and drive your car into them.
To get to that point, you have to be, I think, radicalized in a very, very sad way.
Who do you think is behind this broader left-wing network?
Well, it's one of the things we're going to have to figure out.
Claire?
job.
Guys, thanks for keep playing this because a lot of people will not get access to this information in rural areas and they're listening to the radio.
This is wonderful.
Thank you.
This is cool and abusive behavior by these people who are involved in criminal activities anyway.
We have a guy that was elected president even with a criminal history.
Aiden and Abatney, and it's cool, and then we have lies, you know, the person that works in the DOJ as a known liar already, the courts have called her out on it, and it's unbelievable, so people, you need to care about your neighbor, the people you know.
These people have taken over, and you need to protect one another, because what they want to do is
make everybody your enemy and fearful of everybody when we're all in this together so are all the children they went after some kids in the school and uh... there was some uh... video of that too what do you think this is doing to our kids we've got people who are psychotic running our government causing chaos pushing heat
And then we gotta think of our kids in that.
And I love what you've had with us, the pencils.
Outstanding.
Keep up the great work.
We're lucky to have you guys.
Take care.
Bye-bye.
Gene, thank
It was.
And I would encourage folks to look at the third video that came out that shows the front of the vehicle.
It appears that the ICE agent was struck by the car.
And in the first video that
just showed, you can see the agent limping away
after he
fired shots.
And so I agree with President Trump and Secretary Nome on this.
If this was an act of domestic terrorism, these were it appears to be paid agitators.
And this is what happens when you have Democrats and people on the left vilifying and dehumanizing our cops.
our law enforcement, ICE agents, defunding police departments across the country, calling them Nazis and fascists.
the result of that kind of violent rhetoric for years.

All right, this is John and Gordy and we're talking about Minneapolis and Renee, Nicole Good and some of the cuts that I found on social media I thought were really important and there is one here before we get to the politics girl.
She also had a debate on a talk show.
But I thought this is one of the nicest things that anyone could ever say about Renee Nicole Good or any mother for that matter.
I think this is it's a it's a little bit longer.
It's under five minutes, but I think it's worthwhile and it's a great.
heartwarming message and I think something that everybody should at least hear once.
I got this from Tik Tok.
The individual's name is Defiance 13 and here is what he presented.
What gets lost when power rushes to justify itself is the ordinary truth of a life.
Mother doesn't live inside abstraction.
She lives inside crumbs and corners.
The inside of her name, Nicole Good's car doesn't look like a weapon.
There's evidence, but it's evidence of love stretched in across busy days stuffed animals shoved into gloveboxes because There's nowhere else to put them Snack wrappers on the floor from backseat negotiations about still being hungry and asking to stop after school Chrome is pressed deep into seat crevices from granola bars broken in half with one hand while steering with the other Mismatch water bottles rolling under the seats forgotten library books and receipts and
Reminder notes she meant to read.
And that kind of chaos isn't that of a menace, it's parenthood.
It's the quiet archaeology of a life spent showing up over and over again.
When no one's applauding, it's the smell of sunscreen and stale coffee, the echo of arguments that end in laughter, and the residue of carpools and drop-offs.
Apologies for being late again.
And that's not what violence looks like.
And yet the federal government chose a word that erases every bit of that.
They chose terrorist.
And terrorist is a word meant to flatten humanity.
It strips away the context and intention and interior life.
It allows a listener to stop imagining the person as a person.
And once the word is spoken, the crumbs disappear and stuffed animals vanish.
The children become inconvenient footnotes.
But she was a mother, not a threat.
And when you watch the video and really watch it, what you see is not intent, what you see is confusion.
Armed men crowding a vehicle, commands shouted from different directions, hands at windows, bodies positioned where no one should ever stand if they truly fear a moving car, seconds collapsing in the chaos, a vehicle barely moving with hesitation, uncertainty, and panic, and then gunfire.
There's no clear moment of attack, no one mistakeable act of aggression.
No frame that shows deliberate violence.
What it shows instead is something that's far more common and far more human.
A person trying to understand what is being demanded of them while surrounded by authority that's moving too fast and thinking too little, if at all.
A mother trying to move their neighborhood.
A mom who knew that when our men surround your car and shout over one another, fear is not aggression.
It's instinct.
A mom whose first reflex wasn't domination, but survival.
Protection.
Mother's protecting ways that don't make headlines, though.
They protect by staying awake, by worrying quietly, by keeping the world held together with routines and snacks and soft things that are tucked where children might need them later.
By refusing to harden, even when the world keeps asking them to, and that is where something
Much darker enters the frame of this story, because there are people who saw this and didn't ask a single question.
People who didn't pause at the Kromes didn't notice the stuffed animals, didn't wonder about the children who would never again sit in that back seat.
They heard the government speak first, and that was enough.
Big Brothers said self-defense, so they repeated it.
They said terrorist and nodded along.
No curiosity or skepticism, no humanity.
just obedient, stressed up.
It's the deepest obscenity here, not just that Renee Nicole Good was killed, but that the machinery of the state looked at the wreckage of her mother's life and called it terror.
And so many people accepted the story without ever looking inside the car.
There's nothing radical about chromes or extremists about stuffed animals, nothing violent about a vehicle that was built to carry children.
What is radical and dangerous is a government so desperate to control the story that it must erase the humanity before the facts are even known.
Because if we remember who she is, if we picture the nostalgic chaos of parenthood still sitting there when the engine went quiet, then the lie collapses.
What remains is not a terrorist, it's a mother.
and three children who will grow up knowing exactly how fragile life can be, especially when power forgets how to see them.
Yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know I try to make it quick.
There's a anti-ice protest at the Capitol today at five o'clock and I'm gonna go because you know I was born in 1975 and My years as an American I've never really felt like I feel right now and had to experience these feelings So I'm just gonna go there to
just kind of get some of it out.
And I'd like to see some other folks go too.
If you can't make it, that's totally great because sometimes it's just too stressful for folks to even get out with all this stuff going on.
And then I know I got to get going, but I would just like to pose one question real quick to some of the MAGA listeners.
I would like to ask those guys, would Jesus have taken the shot?
Okay.
real
Oh, this one from Tiffany in River Falls.
And this one is...
pretty poignant as well.
I keep hearing if she complied she'd be alive.
Let's be clear about this.
ICE does not identify themselves.
These are armed, masked, aggressive men going after people.
How are we ever
supposed to know who are real federal agents when they do not identify themselves.
We should never comply with unidentified strangers aggressively advancing toward us.
Comply or death is not America.
That's tyranny.
Yeah,
Now let's get to the politics girl.
Okay.
Lee McGowan, I believe her name is.
Yeah.
And she was on a panel and, you know, the Republicans, the Megas on the panel, obviously tried to talk over her and make her message confused and unhearable.
But she did her best.
And I think this should work out.
Let's listen.
One hour after this happened, the head of DHS went on TV and lied.
She said the officers were trying to get themselves out of a snow bank and she gunned her car and tried to hit them.
total lie then the president went on and said she was a domestic terrorist and the the officer was hit and he was in the hospital fighting for his life total lie now we've all seen the video from multiple different angles and we all know her wheel was turned they were saying get out of here then they were saying get out of the car then she was like oh my God and then she turned her wheel to move with her spouse there and her stuffed animals in the car do not folks.
There is a woman.
got
on television and double down yes on the lies he doubled down on the lies and he called her a a deranged leftist then Levitt went on TV that the head of the White House to speak for us and said that it was a larger sinister left-wing movement that did this and now you're sitting here beside me saying she was part of a group in her community that was I mean
give me a
break.
for no reason, and you were sitting here defending it like we're not talking about humanity.
We've lost the plot.
got?
Well, I think that last gentleman's thing was awesome.
And I in particular noticed the stuffed toys in the
door and how sad that was.
And I think it's very important for everyone to take as many videos and as many photos as they possibly can at things like that because it's those videos and those photos that bring the truth to light, not what the government is saying.
Anywhere near you.
And you know, we've heard over and over that the world now respects us as a country.
Well, that isn't necessarily true after what happened in Australia the other day.
Let's play Cut 155.
This is...
the national anthem booed in Australia.
Uh, just, uh, shocking stuff.
Let's listen.
It said a supporting event.
Not a great reception at all.
yet faced accountability for the Texans who may have lost their lives in the floods last year because it took her days to authorize search and rescue teams.
They lost their lives or may have lost their lives over that.
Now a Minnesota woman lost her life yesterday in an incident that never should have happened.
She should be with her family alive and well right now.
We have an ICE agent who by the way is or should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a
moving vehicle.
And yet this happened on her watch.
The whole point of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe.
And it is very clear on this administration's watch that the opposite is what's happening.
And the agent who did the shooting, of course, supposedly was rammed by a vehicle at one time, right?
Well, he wasn't a victim of any kind of ramming.
What he did was he tried to reach into a car trying to stop it, but through the rear window of the car and the person was driving away and he got dragged along with the car for a
I have made it clear to everyone within my city government and that extends to NYPD that we are going to uphold our sanctuary city policies.
We are going to adhere to them.
That is why one of the 11 executive orders that we signed was to repeal the previous administration's order to allow for collaboration with ICE on Rikers Island.
What we are going to be doing
is following the laws that we have set, laws which have kept New Yorkers safe.
And we are going to make it clear to each and every person in the city what their rights are.
So, you know, a lot of people are bringing up Ashley Babbitt, all right?
It is from the insurrection January 6th January 6th insurrectionist went through a broken window of the door and was shot for doing that No, it's not like she did not see the gun aimed right at her.
I've seen this video a thousand times but apparently There were there was a different way of describing Ashley Babbit's death compared to
Renee's death.
All right, and I just want you to I mean Renee is an instant individual if you watch the latest video, of course She was not angry or anything and no and and it just blows that whole argument that they have that she's a terrorist water
He didn't shoot a mob.
He shot an unarmed woman who was under 5'5", who did not pose a mortal threat to him.
And if she did, tell me how.
And he killed her.
And so just on the basis of those facts alone, I need to know more.
She was killed and she shouldn't have been killed.
And that thug that killed her, there was no reason to shoot her at blank range, cold blank range, they shot her.
Do you approve of lethal force against unarmed citizens, particularly a 110 pound woman with no warning?
Do cops get to shoot people without a warning?
I don't think they do actually.
Cops, that officer, bad things should happen to
him.
He shot her.
And she was totally defenseless.
She posed no mortal threat to anybody, not even conceivably.
protesting.
They shot her in the face.
And her death is like totally fine because we don't like her politics.
The only
There's a woman in this room.
whose daughter was murdered.
No one has cared about the person that shot and killed her, and no one in this Congress has really addressed that issue.
Who was the person that shot an innocent, wonderful, incredible woman
That's right.
They had broken the window and she was going through it.
She saw an officer aiming a gun right at her.
It wasn't an unknown type of thing.
And it happened.
It happened.
And that's the defense that they gave her.
They're not doing that same thing to Renee Nicole Good.
And I just think it's outrageous.
Now I've got this, I found these two responses and I thought I'd read them both here.
The most insane thing about all of this is just that there is no reason to defend this.
It's not political.
You could say officer didn't follow protocol, doesn't reflect our values, will be held accountable.
There is nothing to gain from defending this unless you want.
ice to have the freedom to kill U.S.
citizens for disagreeing with you.
And then the follow-up was this, this is a person who posted that, said this, or, and this is Peter Hull, by the way, a professor at a university, I really hate to say this, but they would not be acting this way if they thought they would be subject to future fair elections.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's kind of unusual.
Got a text here from Brett from Brown Deer saying, sending 2000 ICE agents into Minneapolis because of daycare fraud was only an attempt to provoke something like this.
Trump knows he's in trouble with the midterms coming up and the Epstein files being released.
He's pushing for civil war.
A lot of people are thinking that as well.

Reminded me of this story, John.
Have you heard the latest on this?
America is falling out of love with pizza, believe it or not.
Pizza.
Yeah.
Pizzerias, once the second most common restaurant type in the U.S.
are now outnumbered by coffee shops and Mexican food places.
New report says sales growth for pizza change has fallen behind the larger fast food market as delivery apps offer a wide variety of cuisines.
Higher costs also pay a role as a $20 pizza can be more expensive than grocery store options or $5 fast food deals, but
Yeah, nice and crunchy, thin crust.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
It makes more room for all the toppings that you can throw on it.
Mm-hmm.
Right?
Yes.
Anyway, well.
All right.
We got, I've got this cut from the Daily Show.
It's a bunch of clips that they put together.
Of course, you know, there are a lot of Republicans out there that are saying that Renee is a terrorist and they couch
Unfortunately, we had a very tragic incident, resulting in the death of a young woman, but...
You are probably going to see more of this across the country.
Right.
Well, and it was a tragic loss of life, Dana, and unnecessary, but... Tragic to see someone die.
This is a tragedy
for everyone involved.
Nobody wins here.
But
several things.
It is very sad that this woman did lose her life.
No one wants that.
She has a six year old child.
However, I
don't love.
in any way shape or form that someone is dead.
But it
is very unfortunate.
It is tragic that this woman was hurt or killed, obviously killed in this case.
But it's always a tragedy when somebody dies a violent death like this when somebody is shot and killed.
But
it was a tragedy to see a woman killed yesterday.
That being said,
It just kind of blows all of them onto the water If anything, it's the other way around yeah, usually
Yeah, of course, you know these guys they have looked at the video themselves And they've come to the conclusion that she's a terrorist and she tried to run into that Ice agent.
It's not true.
It's obviously not true And there's been some really great Forensic looks at it from a lot of people out in social media.
It's just amazing How they really got gotten into this.
It's just fantastic.
Hey, hey, happy Friday, guys.
So I saw a video.
I don't know if this looked good or not, but it was a video from someone's house.
And you can clearly see the front of the vehicle and the ice agent.
And it didn't show where he was that close up on the car where she hit him when she was turning.
And the woman that was doing most of the talking was her wife, who was out videotaping.
You can hear her saying something about switching license plates because you know it's out there, that ICE agents, you know, these... Oh yeah, they switch license plates, yeah.
Switching license plates, so nobody can get the license plates.
And my third point is, I'm not sure how true this is, but it was said to stick around, that he left.
He
on.
Yeah, and outrage, you know, they always say, well, if those black people would have just listened, they wouldn't have lost their life.
Well, Ashley Babbitt didn't listen and she lost her life, but they swore every now and then she, she, she should be put on Mount Rushmore with Trump.
I know you in dollars, I think her family got.
So they are able to do this.
They are able to manipulate videos, interpretations of videos, reality.
It's an amazing thing.
really, really does fall in line with this in some way, shape, or form.
I don't know how it's done.
And we were kind of wondering how someone like Hitler became popular, right?
And now we're seeing how that kind of cult of personality grows and takes over.
