Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says ICE descended on his city with hopes of rounding up undocumented Somalis. When agents couldn't find any, they started driving around terrorizing people. And now with the killing of Renee Good, they are clearly making the city less safe. But federal officials are also lying about Good's actions before the shooting and her character—and with their bold claims of absolute immunity for ICE agents. More broadly, the administration is trying to intimidate ordinary citizens from documenting the masked agents deployed around the country. Plus, Trump is acting like a conqueror from the Middle Ages when he claims a right to Venezuela's oil, Putin is trying to mask the weakness of Russia's economy, Europeans are back to being anxious over Greenland, and Iranians are taking to the streets again.
Anne Applebaum and Mayor Jacob Frey join Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. After I taped both these interviews this morning, there was a release of video footage, new video footage from the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good, from his perspective. |
| 0:13.2 | And I taped a extensive second by second breakdown of that, which you can find over on the board, takes feed on your audio platform of |
| 0:22.0 | choice or on YouTube or substack. For me, it more than confirms everything that we discuss |
| 0:28.5 | on this show. I've discussed the last few days, and it shows somebody that was the one piece |
| 0:33.1 | of new information we learned is that Renee Good had greeted him pleasantly and said, I'm not mad, |
| 0:39.3 | like 20 seconds before he shoots her. It's an unbelievable piece of footage. Just one note in that |
| 0:46.0 | video, you know, it's all moving very fast. I called it body cam footage. We later learned it was |
| 0:50.5 | from his cell phone, which he's carrying in his left hand, |
| 0:55.6 | while he's firing off three bullets with his right hand, which needless to say is not |
| 0:59.4 | SOP for an agent of the state. So go over there to check out more on that. |
| 1:06.1 | Appreciate very much our guest today and all of you. We'll see you back here next week. Up next, Mayor Jacob |
| 1:11.5 | Frye. Hello and welcome to the Boulder podcast. I'm your host Tim Miller. We have a double header for you today. |
| 1:29.8 | In the second segment, it's our friend Ann Applebaum with an autocracy update, both at home and abroad. |
| 1:38.1 | Look forward to getting to that. But first, we want to add the perspective from somebody who can talk to us directly about what's |
| 1:46.1 | happening on the ground in Minneapolis. And so I'm excited to welcome to the show, the mayor of |
| 1:51.0 | Minneapolis, Jacob Fry. Thanks for being with us. Thanks for having me. Happy to do it. |
| 1:55.7 | Unfortunate, the circumstances. I want to start just by talking narrowly about the shooting of Renee Good and kind of what we know at this |
| 2:04.9 | point. One of the things I think it's been getting lost in the discussion a little bit. I'm curious your |
| 2:08.7 | perspective on is like, what were the ice agents doing in the neighborhood at all? Like what was |
| 2:15.0 | happening in that neighborhood in Minneapolis when the |
| 2:18.0 | shooting occurred? I don't think the ICE agents know what the ICE agents are doing in general. |
| 2:22.1 | They seem to be rolling around neighborhoods without a clear agenda other than to terrorize people. |
