Trump's Demeanor FLIPS After He Watches ICE Shooting
President Trump appeared to backtrack his stance on the ICE shooting when he watched it with a reporter.
- 19 minutes
President Trump says claims online that
good, violently, willfully and viciously.
This is a quote from him
ran over the Ice officer, adding
that it is hard to believe he is alive.
We went through video of Wednesday's
deadly shooting frame by frame
with retired Ice agent Eric Bailey.
[00:00:17]
She's trying to get around.
That vehicle, is what it appears to be,
but she has the the steering wheel turned
to the right and she's trying to get away.
Someone is fleeing.
That is not a justification
for the use of deadly force.
[00:00:32]
Well, President Donald Trump
has been pressed on his rather callous,
and I would even argue,
idiotic response and reaction to the fatal
police shooting of Renee Nicole
Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, yesterday.
[00:00:48]
But he did change his.
Well, did he change his tune?
That's a better question.
Did he change his tune
after he was confronted with the facts
and footage of the incident?
Before we tell you, Jake, I'm curious.
Your $0.02.
Has anything changed in your mind
since yesterday?
[00:01:04]
No. Things have only gotten worse,
in my opinion,
for that Ice officer and the folks
that are enthusiastically backing him.
But let's go through
what is definitively true.
What is in dispute,
and then draw our conclusions from that.
And, and and as you know,
this has become a Rorschach test.
[00:01:23]
So people are seeing
what they want to see.
But there is an actual reality
and it is on tape.
And there are laws in this country.
So let's break down the facts and and
and see what conclusions
we all reach together.
[00:01:38]
So President Trump sat down for
a wide ranging, three hour long interview
with the New York Times.
And this topic, of course, came up.
How could it not come up?
And so he was asked about ISIS fatal
shooting of an American citizen.
He once again told the reporters
that the woman, Renee Nicole.
[00:01:54]
Good, was at fault. Okay.
The journalist asked him if, in his mind,
firing into a vehicle like that
was acceptable,
to which he responded she behaved horribly
and then she ran him over.
[00:02:12]
She didn't try to run him over.
She ran him over,
which is just not based in reality.
Okay, I don't care
where you stand politically.
You can't watch that video
and argue that she ran a person over.
[00:02:28]
She didn't do that.
So when the reporter said the videos
of the shooting didn't confirm what he was
claiming, he asked his aide, Natalie Harp,
to pull up the video right then and there,
which I'm glad he did.
And then he says, well, Trump said I, the
[00:02:49]
way I look at it, it's a terrible scene,
he said at the end of the video.
I think it's horrible to watch.
No, I hate to see it.
So he didn't exactly backtrack
or double down on the original claim
[00:03:04]
after he actually watched the video.
And when asked if his administration's
anti-immigration tactics had gone too far,
Trump actually just entirely
sidestepped the question
and instead pivoted to condemning
the Biden administration's handling
of the border and immigration overall.
[00:03:20]
So before we get to, you know,
some of the analysis of the video,
some of the evidence
that I think is worthy of looking at,
any thoughts on Trump's reaction, Jake?
Yeah.
Look, there's this there's two
different schools of thought here among
[00:03:36]
the right that are supporting the officer.
One school of thought is, yeah, he's.
Life wasn't in danger.
And no, he didn't get run over
by the van and etc., but you know what?
She was doing the wrong thing.
She shouldn't have been there.
You shouldn't interfere
with law enforcement.
[00:03:52]
And you know, you f around,
you're going to find out
and they're going to murder you.
Okay.
They're going to kill you. Okay.
I don't love that reaction.
Okay, but then there's another reaction.
And then that's driven by their ideology.
But at least there's
somewhat on planet Earth.
[00:04:09]
Then there's the reaction of no,
he was within an inch of his life.
He was about to be murdered,
and she smashed over him
and he saw his life flashed before us.
Come on, guys. Come on.
He walked around afterwards.
We saw it on video.
So is he mortally injured? Of course not.
[00:04:27]
Was.
I guess you can dispute
whether his life was in danger.
But I just look at the video.
It's not even close. She's turning away.
He could just step aside.
And in fact, he does step aside
as he's shooting her to death.
And, Anna, the last two shots
are indisputable.
[00:04:46]
They're from the side.
You literally have to be blind
not to see that he didn't have
to shoot her in the head from the side.
Well, I agree with you entirely on that.
And that's the evidence
that I want to go through.
Right?
So everything was happening
and moving quickly yesterday.
[00:05:02]
We have a little more time
to actually process video and images.
And, here's another look at it
where you can see, that, you know,
the victim here, she's driving away
while the shots are being fired.
So you see three still frames
and undeniably, undeniably in the third
[00:05:23]
frame especially, you can see the officer
clearly shooting at her as he is at the
side of the car, not in front of the car.
So on top of that, the video shows
the agent who shot Renee walking
around the scene for more than a minute
after her car crashes into a pole.
[00:05:40]
And I think that's relevant information
as Trump administration officials,
whether we're talking about,
you know, DHS spokespeople
or Kristi Noem saying that,
oh, you know, the the this was terrorism.
You know, this this poor Ice
agent was brutally injured
[00:05:57]
and had to go to the hospital.
Take a look at this video
and you tell me what type of injuries
we're talking about here.
The federal agents on scene do not appear
to rush to provide emergency medical care.
Eventually, the agent who shot
the motorist approaches the vehicle.
[00:06:14]
Seconds later, he turns back around
and tells his colleagues to call 911.
Shame.
So he allegedly did go to the hospital,
but he must have driven himself
because you do see video of him
entering his own vehicle and driving off.
[00:06:32]
Which, by the way, I could be wrong about
this, but aren't you supposed to stay
on the scene and administer aid?
Why are you getting in your vehicle
and driving away?
And could that potentially be a crime?
I don't know for sure, but these are
questions that should be raised then.
[00:06:48]
More than a minute.
For more than a minute, this guy is
walking around seemingly unscathed.
I mean, you can see it for yourselves.
And yet you do have people like
Kristi Noem saying things like this.
Secretary, can you expand
on the agents injuries?
[00:07:04]
The president said
that he's lucky to be alive.
The officer was hit by the vehicle.
She hit him. He went to the hospital.
A doctor did treat him.
He has been released, but he's going
to spend some time with his family.
From every video that I've seen,
I have yet to confirm
[00:07:21]
that he actually got hit by the vehicle.
I'm not going to take
Kristi Noem word for it.
I'm not saying that he
didn't get hit to some extent.
I just haven't seen any evidence of that.
And I'm open to viewing that evidence
if anyone wants to send that to me.
But the I mean, the exaggeration of the
injuries, and I'm pretty sure, you know,
[00:07:42]
his decision to go to the hospital
had more to do with covering his own ass.
I'm sure he was probably
talking to his lawyer.
Who told him,
you better head over to the hospital 100%.
Yeah, that's that's my theory.
That's not confirmed.
But that is my theory.
[00:07:57]
Now, interestingly, there's,
someone in the Trump administration who
hasn't been willing to embrace DHS account
of the shooting, and that's anti-immigrant
ideologue and border czar Tom Homan.
Asked about Kristi Noem statements and DHS
assessment immediately after the shooting,
[00:08:17]
and that this was all an act of domestic
terrorism, here's what Homan had to say.
I'm not going to comment.
This is an ongoing investigation.
You say you can't comment on the video,
which many Americans
are seeing and reacting to.
I'm not going to make a judgment
call on one video
[00:08:33]
when there's 100 videos out there.
I'm not. I wasn't on the scene.
I'm not an officer
that may have body cam video.
I would be it would be unprofessional
to comment on what I think happened
in that situation, let the investigation
[00:08:49]
play out and hold people accountable
based on the investigation.
I think many members of the public
are calling for the same thing.
And so they're confused.
Maybe you can help me understand
how the Department of Homeland Security
could conclude so swiftly that this is a,
[00:09:06]
quote, act of domestic terrorism that
this woman, quote, weaponized her vehicle
by the very same standard you describe.
This investigation
is just getting started.
That's a that's a question
for homeland security.
And the borders are.
Look, I don't have warm and fuzzy
feelings toward Tom Homan.
[00:09:24]
Let me just be very clear about that.
However, the reaction that we
got from Homan is the reaction
that I wish we got from our leader.
That's the kind of reaction
I wish we got from the president.
Instead, he decided to throw gasoline
on that fire, and he never ceases to take
[00:09:44]
advantage of every opportunity possible to
increase tension tensions in this country.
In the case of Tom Homan,
there are potentially some conflict with
Kristi Noem, reasons for why he reacted
the way he did, I don't know.
And honestly, I don't care
what his motivations were.
[00:10:01]
What I do care about
is that he gave the right response.
Jake, what do you think?
Yeah.
Look, more things we know and don't know.
So we're going to talk more
about this later, but JD Vance called her
a deranged leftist.
We don't know anything about her yet.
Okay.
[00:10:16]
We in fact, it turns out they were like,
oh, she's a she's a anti-ice person.
That's apparently
not necessarily true at all.
His her ex-husband and her mom says,
what are you guys talking about?
Legal observer. No, she's not a lawyer.
And they say she was
just dropping off her son.
[00:10:34]
So Kristi Noem,
she says immediately, right away,
doesn't know a thing about her.
She's a domestic terrorist. Come on, guys.
No, no. Sorry.
Look, I'm trying to not be insulting,
but you really got to be mental
to think that she's a domestic terrorist.
[00:10:50]
A 37 year old mom with three kids.
It just.
I mean, look, not that this should matter,
but described as a good Christian, etc.
Family person. You can go on and on.
- Though a devout Christian, by the way.
- Yeah.
So what is this? Come on.
[00:11:07]
This is not domestic terrorism, etc..
And so, and one thing, Anna,
we should be able to agree on, but we
can't even get this bare, bare minimum.
It's a tragedy.
Like this is not a thing to celebrate.
And so, you know.
[00:11:25]
Can I, can I just jump in on that
because, like, the pain that I'm
personally feeling about all of this,
aside from the fact that there was a loss
of life here, she was a human being.
And now, you know, her children will
be without a mother is the fact that after
[00:11:44]
federal agents gun you down our government
that we pay taxes to,
that's supposed to represent us will
immediately smear you and lie about you
before they know a damn thing about you.
And that is just so painful.
[00:11:59]
Like, we really have to stop
and think about the world.
We're the country
we're living in right now, and how far our
system of government has devolved.
And I don't know where it all ends,
but we're not in a good place right now.
Again, we don't even know she was
protesting Ice, Associated Press reporting
[00:12:18]
the ex-husband and the mom saying, no,
she was just dropping off her son.
There's always a fog in the first 2440
eight hours, so that will get sorted out.
But guys, would it even matter in.
I remember the days when a 37
year old mom who was unarmed.
[00:12:36]
Being killed is a tragedy and something we
should all mourn no matter what, no matter
what the political allegiances, etc.
But no, we've lost our humanity.
And look guys,
so in this case, it's the right wing.
The right wing said during the Charlie
Kirk thing that that a bunch
[00:12:53]
of left wingers celebrated his death.
And yes, that that did happen.
Was it the entire left?
Absolutely not.
And by the way, to be fair to the right,
in this case, it is a big number.
It's a and I tell you guys all the time
when it's not a big number,
when MAGA is split and they're not overly
split on this one, it's a big number.
[00:13:12]
But it's not all of the right.
It's not all Trump voters, etc.
But either way, we're both sides.
Way too many people on both sides are
looking at things in such a partizan light
that they can't see that someone
being shot in the head or the neck,
no matter what their
political affiliation is, is a tragedy.
[00:13:30]
It's a tragedy,
not something you celebrate.
And by the way, it is definitely not manly
to celebrate an unarmed woman
getting shot in the head.
And let me just say, I think that you and
I are pretty consistent on this, right?
You and I did not make light
of what happened to Charlie Kirk.
[00:13:47]
We didn't celebrate it.
In fact, I not only condemned it,
but got into a shouting match with Destiny
on Piers Morgan's show about it, and so.
If we keep going in the direction
that we're going in, where we dehumanize
each other based on political views,
this country is not going to survive.
[00:14:06]
It's over.
And so we're at a, at a, at this junction
where we really have to ask ourselves,
which direction do we want to go in?
Because the direction that we've
been barreling toward is the world
of dehumanization, tyrannical government,
increased government power
[00:14:25]
and state sponsored violence.
And I don't think that's okay.
That's not what our country
is supposed to stand for.
And increasingly,
it feels that that's where we're at.
Yeah.
Last two things here.
Look, the two tragedies happening
here overall, the tragedies are look,
[00:14:42]
with Charlie, for example, I got some
heat from the left for mourning him.
I didn't just say, oh, it's,
you know, bad or whatever.
No. That was he's got kids.
He was needlessly killed.
Charlie did say terrible things,
including about my background, etc.
[00:15:00]
But that doesn't.
Guys, that's a million miles from violence
and shooting someone in the neck.
And so we can't let these
political differences dehumanize us
so that we don't mourn young people
needlessly getting killed on either side.
[00:15:20]
We got to bring that down.
So that's number one problem here
in America, that we're starting to see it
from such a political lens that some
are beginning to not mind violence
as long as it happens to the other side.
And Anna is right
that we can't be a united country.
[00:15:36]
And I desperately want us
to be a united country.
And then the second part of it
is we're beginning to lose
our common perception of reality.
Now we're looking at things
from such a political bias
[00:15:51]
that we literally can't see straight.
Right.
So in this case, There's disagreement
about whether she hit him at all.
Right?
And I watched the video countless times.
I can't tell if she kicks him
in the as she's turning right.
[00:16:08]
She's definitely turning away from him
and he's in the front for no reason.
He moves to the side.
Does she nick him at that point?
I can't tell, but if you're on the right.
Oh, she definitely hit him
and she nearly murdered him.
He escaped within an inch of his life.
Right.
If you're on the left.
He she was nowhere near him.
He just started shooting for no reason.
[00:16:26]
No, guys.
No, that's not a fair description
of everyone on the left or the right,
but certainly the extremes.
So. And then the second one
was his life in danger.
So. But that one.
Okay. Yeah.
So I people on the right a lot of them
say his life was in mortal danger
[00:16:43]
and they won't move off that position.
And I don't see it at all. At all.
And I don't know, Anna,
this is again, I don't know.
Yeah. Go ahead.
I have to give you.
I have to give you a a perfect example
of what we're trying to talk about
[00:17:00]
and condemn here.
Matt Walsh, I mean, loves to flaunt his
religious, his devout religious beliefs.
You know, he's a good Christian man.
But when it comes to human lives or the
human lives of people that he, you know,
doesn't agree with politically, who cares?
[00:17:18]
And why is it at all relevant
that she's allegedly a lesbian agitator?
This is what he wrote on X.
This lesbian agitator gave her life
to protect 68 IQ Somali scammers who
[00:17:33]
couldn't give less of a crap about her.
The most disgraceful and humiliating end
a person could possibly meet.
Please don't talk to me ever
about how you believe in abortion bans
because you value human life, you scumbag.
[00:17:51]
Absolute scumbag.
By the way, as she's bleeding out, There's
a physician on the scene who wanted to
administer aid, and the Ice agents blocked
that physician from being able to do so.
No, that should be absolutely,
positively criminal.
[00:18:09]
And I've seen that happen way too often.
And so, you know, in the old days
when we covered it and it happened a great
majority of the time to African Americans,
you know, people on the right, etc., would
say, oh, it happens to white people, too.
And we agreed
and we would show you the videos.
[00:18:25]
The poor white guy in the hotel hallway
getting killed by a cop for no reason at
all when he was completely unarmed, etc..
So now we have a white woman being killed,
and now the people who are worried
about the jackbooted thugs
of the government and federal tyranny
[00:18:40]
and don't tread on me are like,
oh, she might
or might not have nicked him.
He's 100% fine.
But of course he should have murdered her
butt, shot her in the head three times.
Of course. No. And last thing, I'm not.
I'm.
I'm trying so hard not to get
the both sides even more agitated.
[00:19:00]
But guys, if you're on the right,
that is not a strong position to say that.
You also would have been so scared
in that situation,
so absolutely frightened that oh my God,
it's a oh, you nicked me slightly
[00:19:16]
as I was moving moving to the side.
So bang bang bang bang I executed her.
That is not a manly position.
That is not a strong position.
Sorry.
It isn't. By definition it isn't.
I, I moved out of the way.
And if you say no way, no way,
no person could have moved out of the way.
[00:19:33]
He moved out of the way.
It was super easy to move out of the way.
I would have moved out of the way
instead of executing her.
And I hope to God I really, really hope
that almost everyone watching
would have had the decency to move
out of the way instead of executing her.
[00:19:50]
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
Totally not true, but it does
keep you updated on our live shows.
