What’s the big news story in Minneapolis that sparked the episode?
This is Interrupted by Matt Jones on NewsRadio 840 WHAS. Now, here's Matt Jones. All right. It is that time again. It is time for the news with Billy and Drew. And this is interrupted by Matt Jones. We haven't done the news in a little while since before the holiday. So a lot of stuff has probably happened, Drew. And if you let's say this were the only place that you got any news. You might be like, has the world just stopped? What's going on? I
see
what's in front of me, but
is
this it? Is there anything else out there? Well, here's what's interesting. There's been a lot
of
news.
A
lot. Arguably more news in the last couple of weeks than in any two weeks in a long, long time. So... You know, CBS News hired a new anchor, Tony DeCoppo.
Oh, good for Tony. I didn't know he got hired. Oh, you didn't know that? No. I know his name. How do I know that name? He's on something else. I used to be on CBS this morning. See?
I'm big Sunday
morning, this morning guy.
You remember
my ex-girlfriend was
his producer. So he's now the head of the nightly news. It's been very controversial because he says he's tired of speaking about news in elite terms. He's going to give you news the way you like it, common. Oh, okay. Man of the people. Yeah, but we've been doing that for a while. If you want people who don't understand the news telling you the news, Billy's been here for a long time. Who better to give the news? That's right. So just like Tony DeCoppo is a new era, now one of the senior news anchors is Billy Roach. He's been here longer than DeCoppo, giving you the news. So he gives us 10 items. Drew and I tell you what to think about it. What's in the news, Billy?
All right, Lola. We've got to get started with what's happening in Minneapolis right now. Yeah, a
lot of stuff.
Last week, an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a Minneapolis mother. 37-year-old Renee Good was shot in her car. Federal officials claim the shooting was an act of self-defense, but the city's mayor described it as reckless and unnecessary. There are multiple videos and camera angles of the incident, and it sparked protest in several cities across the country and debate over ICE enforcement. And just yesterday, an ICE agent in Minneapolis shot and injured another person, an undocumented Venezuelan national who fled a traffic stop and crashed into a parked car. He was taken to the local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, but officials claim the man resisted arrest and assaulted an officer before the shooting.
So a lot going down in Minnesota right now.
I just realized that mayor of Minneapolis does look like Tony DeCoppo. I've been trying to figure out who he looked like. That's exactly who he looks like, just coming full circle. It is very rare, Drew, that I get, like, I think a lot of times, especially in the Trump era, people freak out about things in the news. And I think people are, while understandably frustrated with things, sometimes they overreact. What's happened in Minneapolis genuinely worries me. it was a tragedy. The woman that got killed, you know, a lot of people say, well, you know, was it self-defense? Was it not? People see that video. They see what they want to see. Don't you think like, if you want to say the guy had the reason to kill her, you can see that.
And if you also, if you want to say that she was trying to get away from him, you can see that too. I have my own personal opinion about, But do you agree, like, the video, people kind of see what they want to
see in
it, right? I don't think anything is definitive.
I agree with that. That happened exactly the way I'm thinking. People kind of just see what they see, and that's
what they believe. She shouldn't have, in my opinion, this is just mine, she shouldn't have gunned off the car. At the same time, I don't think she was trying to hit him. And I don't think he needed to shoot her. That's my view. But I also don't know that I would put him on trial for murder. So, like, I'm kind of all over the place. Never been in his shoes or anything close to it.
