Chapter 1: What happened in the Minneapolis ICE shooting case?
Welcome to the program, everyone. Support comes from ZBiotics. Now, let's be honest. After a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I used to think that I had to choose between a great night or a great next day. That was before I found ZBiotics pre-alcohol.
ZBiotics pre-alcohol is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic created by PhD scientists to help you feel better the morning after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol turns into this toxic byproduct right in your gut, That buildup is not dehydration. It's what makes you feel rough the next day. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that breaks that byproduct down.
You just drink it before your first drink of the night. That's it. I've used it before dinners, celebrations, and long nights out, and the difference the next morning is quite real. So here's what you do. You go to zbiotics.com slash lemon, and you use the code lemon for 15% off of your first order. It is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. That is zbiotics.com slash lemon.
Now let's get started. Let's get started, everyone. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show here on the Don Lemon Channel, Lemon Live at 5. Look, it is a crazy busy news day and I'm still working on the information that I give you. I told the producers, I have so much to talk about. I don't know where to begin. What am I going to talk about because there's so much.
I think the first order of business should be The well, you guys make sure you hit the likes and the thumbs up because it's really important. It does affect the algorithm. More people become aware of our channel and our conversation. We do that. I had to tell you that every day, but that is the truth. So I don't know.
I don't think there's any other way but to get to it because I find this really deeply disturbing in this country right now. And it's happening right out in the open. I mean, it is. It's really sad. that this woman is dead. Her name is Renee Nicole Good. You guys know that. She was shot and killed by this ICE agent in Minneapolis. She was inside of her vehicle. He's a federal agent. We know that.
But before all of this was even settled, the administration went out there and they started talking about, oh, she's a terrorist and calling her names and all of the things and drawing conclusions about something. I don't even know if they had seen all of the video yet. And so before even the investigators have time to look at this and the jury sees evidence, what's happened?
You know what's happened? Money has started flowing in. And we saw, do you remember when the woman, call that if we have that producers, do you remember when the woman called this kid an N-word and then they had a GoFundMe and they raised money for the woman? And I think something very similar happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
Something very similar happened to Donald Trump, meaning people started donating money and his campaign sent the money first, reportedly, to pay for his legal bills. So you have the constituents or the supporters of Donald Trump's campaign, the money that's supposed to go to his campaign, that money went to, reportedly, his campaign. legal bills first.

Chapter 2: How did Bill Ackman and Megyn Kelly respond to the shooting?
You can still donate. I think if you contacted them and said, open that fund up and let me donate, I think that they probably would. So I think that if you want to do it, that would be good. Donate just as much money to that family.
Because the people who support, if you want to be human, a humane, a real humanitarian, the people who support the officer, the officer's family, the officer's still here. The officer's family can touch him, talk to him, see him, communicate with him, whatever they want. But the family of Rene Good can't do that. The loved ones cannot do that. I'm a big believer. This is what he said.
Keep scrolling. Closed by the time he says to provide more, to provide money.
His donation was reported on Sunday morning by investigative journalist Jacqueline Sweet, who has also pointed out that the man who started the campaign, Clyde Emmons, posted on Facebook to say he did so because the stupid C-words, C, whatever letter you put there, N-T-S, want to make a GoFundMe for that stupid campaign. They're his words, bitch, that got what she deserved.
I made one for the ICE officer that did his job. Let's get this man some money. Ross's actions in the January 7th shooting remain under tense debate, with the left claiming he gunned down an innocent mom of three, while the right-leaning figures like the vice president, J.D. Vance, Homeland Security chief, Kristi Noem,
paint him as an exemplary officer who shot a domestic terrorist in self-defense. And that is where we are right now. And then we have, don't know if she donated to the campaign, but she reposted, Megan Kelly, she reposted, Megan Kelly reposted the GoFundMe link. So she has supported the gunman in a video. The video that this right-leaning website put out. And so again, that's where we are.
Unbelievable. Do we have the Megyn Kelly one? Let's play it if we haven't.
You can hear her hit him. If you slow it down and you look at the screen grab of Renee Good's face, you can see she saw him. She's looking right at him. I mean, we have it here. You'd have to zoom in, but I did it on my phone. She clearly saw the officer and accelerated. I don't know that she wanted to run him over. I don't know what she intended, but it doesn't matter.
What he saw was a dangerous instrumentality about to kill him. And that is why he opened fire.

Chapter 3: What controversies surround the fundraising for the ICE agent?
That's from George Floyd's murder back in 2020. Gifts and Go co-founder Heather Wilson said, while other platforms deny individuals a chance to raise funds for a quality legal defense based on their agendas, we believe people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Among the donors, GoFundMe effort is activist investor Bill Ackman.
the head fund manager who has challenged management over the years at large companies, including Minneapolis-based Target. I'm a big believer in our legal principle that one is innocent until proven guilty. That's what he said on X, which I said. The whole situation is a tragedy.
An officer doing his best job, doing his best to do his job, and a protester who likely did not intend to kill the officer, but whose actions in a split second led to her death. Ackman also disclosed, that's what he said, disclosed that he wanted to similarly support the GoFundMe for Renee Good's family. However, the GoFundMe closed in time that I attempted to provide support.
I'll believe that when I see it. And then in other news, we have Mark Kelly is now fighting back. He's suing Pete Hegseth. He's pushing back. We'll talk about all of that. But first, I want to get to a word from our sponsors. And then we're back with someone who knows about all of these stories. As a matter of fact, wrote about them. And I'm interested to hear in his perspective, his perspective.
First, a word from our sponsors. Support comes from One Skin. You know, New Year's resolutions, they used to be about reinventing yourself. Now it's more about doing an honest audit of what's actually working and then sticking with it, okay? So for me, that includes taking my skin health very seriously, and that's why I use One Skin. It's my go-to. My go-to favorite is obviously the face cream.

Chapter 4: How does the public narrative affect accountability in such cases?
And the individual, I think Lisa Collin is the the reporter who has been promoting this from Alpha News in Minneapolis, the give, get, go, fund me thing, flatly had anti-Semitic language in it. In fact, talked about Mayor Jacob Fry parenthetically, who is Jewish, which is, I mean, is such a reveal. It's such a tell about...
where the hearts are in not all of these people, but many of the people involved here. So I just, I'm really, this does not speak well of who we are as human beings.
Is Bill Ackerman okay with that, anti-Semitic?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He probably missed it. I'm not sure that he's a thorough reader. I think what's that issue here? You hear a lot of virtue signaling criticism from the right. I think that's what this is. I think there's a lot of people on the right who want to appeal to a conservative base
and promote the fact that they've got the law enforcement's back, regardless of the facts, regardless of the anti-Semitic copy in the fundraising website. And they just want to promote the fact that, oh, I've got a lot of money. I just want to give this because...
know it's less principled and it's more of a marketing strategy and i think these individuals probably know better but that's not what the point is the point is to promote the fact that they have these people's back because it's the divisive culture war at play that they want to side with and so the facts less uh matter less
than the virtue signal that they are for ICE agents, they're against illegal immigrants, and they think a woman who was killed and left a six-year-old orphan somehow deserved to be shot in the face because of what we all saw was, you know, at worst she made a mistake by pulling away, but the fact that she was killed, it's deeply troubling on many, many levels.
What did you mean by you said it's marketing, Colby? Well, I think a lot of people sort of, you and I both know people in the conservative media realm who are not

Chapter 5: What role do donations play in shaping public opinion?
Right. If you watch social media like, oh, my God, she got the best of him. And she clearly looked like an idiot. Keep going. Roll it.
choose which situations are in which laws are enforced and which ones aren't every single one of them is being enforced under the Trump administration and the clarity of the law stands and if people don't like it these members of Congress and elected officials should go change the law and make sure they have that debate and policy I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers
undisputed proof, undisputed evidence. And I just said President Trump pardoned all of them. And you said that President Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. It's just not true. There's a different standard for law enforcement officials being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters. We just saw that.
This individual and these instances and these investigations all have to be taken and done and done correctly in context of every situation that is happening on the ground. So what we are doing today as the Department of Homeland Security is out there with our law enforcement officers making sure
that we're targeting the worst of the worst and that we're talking factually about each situation and making sure that we're bringing those perpetuators of violence back to justice, bringing them to justice and making sure they face consequences for their crimes. We'd love to have the partnership of Mayor Frey. We'd love to have the partnership with the chief of police and of Governor Walz.
Every day when we're out there to make sure they tone down the rhetoric and they do the right thing for the people of Minnesota.
All right. Well, we'll ask Mayor Fry and the chief of police in just a couple of moments. Thank you so much.
Kobe, at first, you know, this morning I said that Jake did a good job and I and I said, no, you know, no shade to Jake. This is what I would have done. And that is when she and I think it's in the next clip. I would have played the video.
of the shooting, the one that's the analysis, and it let her watch it and say, now I want you to show me where they're trying to push out, you know, a car that's stuck in the snow. I want you to look at this and show me where he's standing in front because of all of the analysis that's done, he's not standing in front of the car.

Chapter 6: How does the media influence the perception of the shooting?
Now, I felt like they owed it to the American people. It was a privilege to be on a channel where you can speak directly to the American people. But if you're going to come on just to lie, why should you offer someone that privilege to speak to the American people that way? Because you could probably get the same information by running a soundbite from them. and then pointing out what it is.
I understand, I'm just asking you.
There is a difference. I've written about this. You can't win a debate with someone who's willing to lie. Debate is based on shared reality and a mutual acceptance of facts. When there is a group who's willing to say whatever they want, gaslight, lie, stretch the truth, exaggerate, and do that repeatedly, Your point is that, you know, that's sort of where we are, right?
This is where we are, where they're, you know, particularly this Trump administration has no sort of, I find, obligation to promote facts or the truth. Instead, they focus entirely on a narrative or a storyline that props up Trump. And every Trump surrogate that's on TV goes out of their way to talk about what a great president he is. And it's creepy as hell. It's Dear Leader.
And we're watching it before our eyes and no one is freaking out about this.
Yeah. Let's continue on. Keep rolling.
They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle. That's not what happened. We all saw what happened.
It absolutely is what happened. Those officers. OK, pause.
So this is where this is what I'm saying. This is where I would have put the video up. She probably still would have denied it.
