What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Ice agents are having a real problem, and the problem is that they have been sent into situations so deplorable and despicable that they are now afraid of the public, afraid to drive marked cars, afraid to do routine operations.
What are the concerns regarding ICE agents after the killing of Renee Good?
And this is what happens when you turn law enforcement into a political weapon. And now there are consequences. We will then go to Detroit, where Donald Trump's audience was in stunned silence as he rambled, lied about the popular vote, mangled basic economics and even mocked a cancer patient. No applause, no energy, total confusion. And it gets worse because Trump then flipped off a heckler during a visit to a Ford factory, mouthed FU. And the White House says it was an appropriate response to what the heckler was doing. We will break it down.
How does Trump justify his economic claims during his speech in Michigan?
And it's really about Trump's lack of control. And then Tony DeCouple interviewed Donald Trump. And it did not go well. And it was followed up by a complete and total truth social meltdown. We also have really interesting video of Joe Rogan plainly saying the entire immigration enforcement apparatus has gone completely off the rails. And when you lose Rogan, listen, we will talk about it. Impeachment. Is it coming or not? Well, it seems to be getting closer. That's for sure. All of that and more today.
What happened during Trump's meltdown at the Ford factory?
We start today with a story that is sort of so obvious, I'm surprised it took this long. ICE agents now realizing that they are despised no matter what Donald Trump says about how much the public loves what they're doing. They realize they are so despised that they are terrified to be out in public. This is what happens. when a government turns law enforcement into a political weapon and then doesn't grapple with the consequences, which is what's going on.
How does Trump respond to basic policy questions during his interviews?
Ice agents are now admitting that they are afraid of the public. They're afraid to drive marked vehicles. They're afraid to do routine operations. They're afraid that large swaths of the country now see them as these menacing presences rather than protectors of public safety. That is not a fear that just popped up spontaneously for no reason whatsoever. It has been building and building as Americans don't like, on average, the immigration enforcement, if you can call it that, of this administration. And this latest escalation was triggered when an ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, shot and killed an unarmed civilian, 37 year old mother, Renee Good. during the operation in Minneapolis, and that has sparked national outrage and also protests.
Now, as we all know, Goode was not a criminal. She was not armed. She was the mother of three described by her family as compassionate and devoted. And she was shot three times in her vehicle. And the federal government's initial justification, which she was trying to run over ICE officers, has been widely called into question, including by the video that has been released. I will mention there is a new angle to the video, which some are saying proves good hit Ross with her car. What I see when I watch the video is Ross, first of all, stepping in front of the vehicle, which you are not supposed to do. and then leaning forward to make contact with the vehicle, then used as justification for shooting Rene Good.
But that's not what this segment is about. I just want to mention I have seen that video.
What false claims does Trump make about federal funding and sanctuary states?
So what is the result of what has taken place? It's a historic collapse in public support for ice. Polling shows that ISIS approval rating went from a net positive to deeply, deeply negative during the year that Donald Trump has been president. Majorities of the country now disapprove of ice and disapprove of ISIS use of force. agents are being met with all sorts of hostile gestures. And this includes drivers making gun signs as they pass ICE patrols, following, heckling, banging pots and honking horns outside of hotels where ICE is known to be staying.
What does Joe Rogan say about ICE violence and the killing of Renee Good?
And the worry now is growing to the surge that we are seeing in operations at the same time that individual officers are afraid to actually be out there and seen carrying out their orders.
