The administration maintains that Renee Good acted as a domestic terrorist who intended to use her vehicle as a deadly weapon.

The Mayor of Minneapolis dismissed that as ‘garbage’ and the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, said people in positions of power had ‘already passed judgement’, saying ‘things that are verifiably false’.

There are upsetting scenes and strong language in this report.

Andrew Marr speaks to LBC’s Washington correspondent Simon Marks and former Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges about the developing situation in the U.S.

Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was killed at the wheel of her SUV, which the Trump administration has claimed was driving towards an agent, on Wednesday.

President Trump and Vice-President JD Vance have both doubled down on claims that the ICE agent was acting out of 'self-defence'.

Simon Marks says this moment marks a 'new reality' in America, adding to the already 'febrile' atmosphere across the country.

Marks insists that it is 'inevitable' that there will be more potentially fatal incidents, if ICE continue to behave with the level of violence seen.

Betsy Hodges adds that the transfer of the investigation away from Minnesota's control to the Federal Government shows a 'clear cover-up' within the White House.

"Trump is purposely sending these federal agents into democratic cities."

ICE agents are being sent into Democratic cities to cause chaos because Trump thinks "violence on our streets" would help him politically in the midterms, says former Republican Congressman turned Democrat, Joe Walsh.

LBC callers give their reactions and opinions to the recent ICE shooting in Minnesota, from shock and horror to support for the officers in question.

00:00 - Kevin in Oxford is on the side of the police. He says “you need to do what they ask, otherwise you face the consequences” and gets in a heated exchange with Nick Ferrari.

02:23 - James O’Brien reads out a message from frequent messenger Andy, who is a former police officer. Andy says “he cannot fail to reach the conclusion that she was murdered”.

03:15 - Charles and Pavan both chat to Nick with differing views. Charles sees ICE as a “gang of thungs” and “can’t see how the officer is in danger”, whereas Pavan says the police “don’t deserve this” and you have to “respect the law”.

06:28 - Nick reads out some interesting texts from viewers of varying opinions…

07:20 - Caller Lee reminds us of legal framework that in play that’s “damning” for the officer involved, whilst Shelagh compares the situation to Paul Doyel in Liverpool, saying the two situations are nothing alike.

We speak with two people who responded to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, by an ICE agent in Minneapolis Wednesday. Trump administration officials claim the agent acted in self-defense, but local officials, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, reject that claim.

A fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis has ignited a battle over the truth. Federal officials say Renee Nicole Good tried to run over an immigration agent. City leaders say she was wrongly killed. And the videos circulating online raise more questions than answers.

This confrontation unfolds as President Trump launches one of the largest immigration crackdowns in years, flooding Minneapolis with thousands of federal agents just months before the midterms. Schools have closed, protests are growing, and Washington and Minnesota are locked in a public fight over what happened on that street and why the city has become a political flashpoint.

In this episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei speaks to Miles Taylor, former Homeland Security official, and Minneapolis-based journalist Madison McVan to examine the competing narratives, the federal strategy behind the city’s ICE surge, and what this moment reveals about immigration, policing and power in 2026.

Congressman Seth Moulton joins Joanna Coles for a no frills, clear account of the Venezuela crisis — and why he believes the administration is lying to Congress at every turn. From chaotic briefings where officials dodge questions, to Republican colleagues privately admitting they would be outraged if a Democrat did the same, Moulton argues the United States has no real plan, only escalation. He connects the timing to distractions over healthcare premiums and the Epstein files, criticizes Democratic leaders for failing to level with voters, and makes the case for generational change, age limits, and his own Senate run — while warning that a weakened Congress and normalized “crazy” are far more dangerous than most Americans realize.

The precision of America's extraction of Venezuelan ex-President Nicolas Maduro stands in contrast to events since then.

The regime is still in place and in charge and cracking down on the opposition while the American fleet is moored, locked and loaded, off Venezuela's shores.

At home, Donald Trump's approval ratings continue to plummet over his performance on the economy while abroad his taste for raw power only appears to grow.

In the last week alone Trump has put a series of countries in his sights including Greenland and Iran.

James O'Brien callers react to Trump's latest calls for Greenland.

Donald Trump has suggested a US takeover of Greenland could come sooner than many expected as he declared his administration wants to control the Danish territory “right now.”

The White House’s deputy chief of staff has also declared that Greenland ‘should be part of the United States’ and said no country would mount a challenge if Washington took control.

Stephen Miller appeared on CNN and said: “Nobody's gonna fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”

He also challenged Denmark's sovereignty over the island: “What is the basis of their territorial claim?” Miller asked.

Today, we’re diving deep to tell you everything you need to know about prediction markets - including where they came from, what makes them tick, why they’ve stirred so much debate, and whether they’re here to stay.

Donald Trump has proposed yet again that America "needs Greenland" for "national security", days after the US snatched Venezuela’s then president Nicolas Maduro from its capital Caracas. The Danish prime minister has warned Trump to let go of his "fantasy". The semi-autonomous Danish territory has been at the heart of a new international power struggle, between the US, China and Russia.

Donald Trump has suggested a US takeover of Greenland could come sooner than many expected as he declared his administration wants to control the Danish territory “right now.”

Since launching a military intervention in Venezuela over the weekend, the president has doubled down on his calls for the US to control Greenland for “national security” purposes.

This has been met with widespread condemnation from the United States’ NATO allies, with Sir Keir Starmer telling LBC he “stands with Greenland and Denmark.”

But, speaking on Monday evening, President Trump suggested his latest comments are more than just posturing.

"We need Greenland for national security, and that includes Europe," President Trump said.

Iain Dale is joined by a guest panel to discuss what happens next if Trump takes Greenland.

What happens to jobs, money, and meaning when intelligence becomes cheaper than labor and humans are no longer the smartest ones in the room?

On this episode of Digital Disruption, we’re joined by Emad Mostaque, founder of Stability AI and a leading voice in the global AI revolution.

Emad Mostaque is a businessman, mathematician, and former hedge fund manager. He is the co-founder and was CEO of Stability AI, the company behind the popular text-to-image generator Stable Diffusion. With a master’s degree in mathematics and computer science from Oxford, Emad Mostaque has significantly contributed to artificial intelligence. His vision for Stability AI was to “build the foundation to activate humanity’s potential” through open-source generative AI.

Emad sits down with Geoff to explore a future that may arrive far sooner than most people expect. He argues that within the next 1,000 days, artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape the global economy, upending work, capitalism, enterprise software, and even how we define human value. Drawing from his book The Last Economy, Emad lays out a stark and deeply thought-provoking framework for understanding what comes next when cognitive labor becomes economically irrelevant. This conversation explores the inevitabilities of exponential AI progress, including why intelligence is becoming “too cheap to measure,” how AI agents will replace many jobs done behind a screen, and the coming shift from human-plus-AI teams to AI-only systems. Beyond the economics, Emad also tackles the human question: where meaning comes from in a world where AI outperforms us at most cognitive tasks. He argues that resilience in the AI age will depend less on job titles and more on community, networks, relationships, and how deeply individuals engage with the technology itself.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow breaks down the stunning geopolitical development out of Ottawa today, as Canada announces a major strategic military decision that has caught the United States and NATO leadership completely off guard.

In a move that defies decades of precedent, Canadian leadership has unveiled a rapid acceleration of its defense spending and a new "sovereignty-first" strategy for the Arctic. Rachel analyzes why this sudden pivot is sending shockwaves through the Pentagon and what it means for the future of the North American alliance.

In this segment, Rachel covers:

The Announcement: Details on Canada's shock decision to fast-track its NATO 2% GDP target and modernize its Northern defense.

The U.S. Reaction: Why Washington is reportedly "speechless" over Ottawa's move to secure independent defense capabilities in the Arctic.

Geopolitics: How this impacts Russia, China, and the upcoming NATO summit.

Analysis: Is this a diplomatic masterstroke or a sign of fracturing trust between the U.S. and its closest ally?

Watch Rachel's deep dive into how Canada is rewriting the rulebook on national security and international relations.

Silicon Valley venture capital isn’t just funding technology. It’s also building an escape plan from democracy.

In this episode of The Nerd Reich, Gil Duran is joined by Olivier Jutel (University of Otago) to examine what can only be described as a tech cult: a small, ideologically aligned group of venture capitalists who have become the de facto state planners of American capitalism.

As many VC funds underperform, leading figures—from Peter Thiel to Marc Andreessen—are turning toward increasingly radical political projects. These include network states, charter cities, special economic zones, crypto-enabled sovereign zones, and heavy investment in AI, surveillance, and war technologies.

The goal is no longer innovation, but power—and a strategy Jutel describes as “exit through the state.”

This conversation breaks down:

How venture capital actually makes money (and why “risk-taking” is largely a myth)

Why VC is clustering around AI, crypto, surveillance, and militarization

What the “network state” really is—and why it’s a political threat

How Trump-era politics fit into VC’s long-term strategy

Why “abundance” narratives collapse under real economic incentives

What’s at stake for democracy, labor, and the future itself

Venture capital is a political cult project—one increasingly willing to dismantle democratic systems to preserve its own power.
