Dave Rubin’s audience was treated to a moment of merciless common sense when Scott Jennings quietly corrected an ex?NYPD talking head about what actually happened in the Minneapolis ICE shooting, and the clip exposes how little of the mainstream narrative survives a hard look at the facts. Conservatives should celebrate anyone willing to push back against the rush to judgment that so often drives the narrative before investigations finish.
On January 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37?year?old mother, was shot and killed during an ICE enforcement operation in Minneapolis, a tragedy that has ignited protests and fierce political debate across the country. Government videos and reporting show the shooting happened during a chaotic scene while federal agents conducted a targeted immigration operation.
Independent video that has circulated since the incident shows Good’s car in motion and an ICE officer moving around vehicles before shots were fired, contradicting the immediate, simplistic portrayals pushed by many on the left. Anyone who watches that footage and still insists on a one?line political narrative is either dishonest or dangerously careless.
Good’s family has understandably grieved, and her relatives have hired prominent civil rights lawyers to pursue accountability, a move that will ensure all available evidence is scrutinized in court rather than merely in cable TV monologues. That legal process matters; conservatives should respect a family’s pursuit of answers while insisting on a fair, fact?based investigation.
The aftermath has predictably become a political free?for?all: mass protests, local officials suing the federal government over the deployment, and breathless coverage treating allegation as settled fact. This national drama—from angry demonstrations to government lawsuits—shows why clear, impartial investigation is nonnegotiable and why politicians should stop scoring points with slogans and start supporting due process.
Scott Jennings’ calm correction of a media guest—pointing out the timeline and behavior that led to the encounter—was the kind of reality check missing from most networks, where emotion often substitutes for information. Even state officials echoed competing descriptions of events, which is exactly why the conservative position must be: back law enforcement’s right to do its job, but insist on transparency and accountability when force is used.
This episode is a wake?up call for patriots who value truth over tribalism: demand thorough investigations, resist the media’s instant verdicts, and call out the political opportunists who weaponize every tragedy. We owe Renee Good and every American a sober, honest accounting—not cheap grandstanding—and we should hold everyone, from federal agents to elected officials and cable anchors, to that standard.
