EXCLUSIVE: Renee Nicole Good tied to VIOLENT extremist group?!

What this episode is about

Renee Nicole Good, an anti-ICE activist, was killed by a federal agent after driving her car toward him during a protest related to federal immigration policies in Minnesota. The narrative questions her motivations and the role of her son's charter school in fostering political activism, while also highlighting the involvement of counterterrorism expert Ryan Morrow in uncovering the nature of the extremist group linked to Good.

Key takeaways

• Activism can become a double-edged sword; good intentions may pave the way to societal chaos.
• When schools prioritize political activism, they may inadvertently nurture young revolutionaries rather than informed citizens.
• Radical language hides in plain sight; 'community defense' often masks violent intentions behind a benevolent facade.
• Labeling America as 'Turtle Island' reflects a deeper narrative—deconstruction of national identity isn't just provocative; it's strategic.
• In times of unrest, the line between protection and insurgency blurs—who really safeguards the community?

Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 We have uh Ryan Morrow joining us because I want to go over a story that um we we called him about late last night and the guy has not slept. He is I mean this guy is a a warrior uh for truth. Um let me give you the story. This is from the post. Um, Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE warrior and part of a group of activists who worked to document and resist the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti- act anti-ICE activist through her six-year-old son's woke charter school that boasts they put social justice first and prioritizes involving kids in political and social activism. My gosh, why would you put your six-year-old kid into a school that says that we're going to involve them in political activism? Oh my gosh, these guys are dangerous um uh

0:56 revolutionaries. She was a warrior doing what she knew was right. Okay. So, we called Ryan and we said, "Ryan, can you can you help us out on this group that she's involved with?" Because they were making it sound like this group is just observing. Well, you don't take your car and block a street if you're an observer. That's not what observers do. Okay? observers do exactly what uh uh what's his name from Blae that was at January 6

1:28 Baker Steve Baker they do exact they do that they stand off to the side and they watch and they write down and they record okay that's what an observer does they don't block roads with their cars so we called Ryan Ryan tell us what you found out about this group uh Ryan Morrow from the the Mororrow Institute he's the director counterterrorism expert, you can help his group and I urge you if you want to stop Islamic extremism and you want to get to the bottom of stuff, we've just partnered with uh Ryan. He is part of our research team now. His team is so good. But please, it's a nonprofit and you can uh support by going to uh ryanmor.com and finding out more information. Ryan, what did you find last night?

2:16 Sure. Well, according to the New York Post, uh she became involved with this group called Minnesota Ice Watch through this school um with this charter school, which uh I'm still looking into and and have some stuff that I want to verify before before we get to that. But as for Minnesota Icew Watch, which is the group that would be actually on the streets as opposed to the school, uh it was actually fairly easy research to do um because they were openly radical. Uh it turned out this isn't really about the issue of protecting undocumented uh migrants, illegal immigrants, and and protecting people from the abuse of the law enforcement. Um it's actually about doing things like uh eliminating America. Um and setting cops cop cars on fire. uh you go to their social media page uh and it's doesn't take much work actually to find uh instructions on how to assault police in order to get free people, open up cop car uh doors and

3:16 pull people out. Uh they do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country. Um they have post that refer to as Turtle Island.

3:24 Oh my gosh, they're Turtle Island people. Oh my gosh. Okay. Okay. Um, so you want to explain what that is?

3:34 You go ahead. So, Turtle Island, it's I'm not even sure it has a ton of merit. Um, but it goes to this belief that a lot of the anarchists and communists spread out there saying that just like Israel should be referred to as Palestine, then all of North and Central America should be referred to as Turtle Island because they say that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, that's what they all referred to it as. Um, and I'm not finding a ton of verification that that's actually true. Um, but that's what they say in order to basically indirectly call for the destruction of the United States, which is a more uncomfortable thing to say than, hey, destroy Israel. It's a little bit less popular. Um, and so and so when when they start talking about liberating Turtle Island, uh, that's what they're calling and and that's why I've been calling the Turtle Island into FOD. So, they believe in that. Um, but their

4:24 language goes even is even more aggressive than that where you actually have posts where the the one that it's really alarming to me. It it says, "How to start a community defense center in your neighborhood." And them and their allies usually say, "Oh, that's where that just means we're watching defending in terms of like we'll give you the number to a lawyer." Well, that's hard to say when your post

4:47 has a depiction of a cop car on fire. So when they say set up your community defense center in your local neighborhood, that's a violent intention. That's how you build an insurgency.

5:00 Okay, hang on just a second. Of people watching. Let me just tie this together. You just heard what Ryan just said just there on that thing about protecting your neighborhood. Can we please play the audio of Governor Walsh from yesterday? We played just a few minutes ago. And listen with that information in mind. Listen to what he said. our history. Um when things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota's first that held that line for the nation uh on that July 3rd, 18 63. Um, and I think now we may be in that moment that the nation's looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability, and more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say we can look out for one another.

5:47 that I told you 25 minutes ago. What he's doing is he is empowering and activating a neighborhood revolutionary guard. That's exactly what Ryan was just saying in different words. This is a group that is telling you as neighbors, here's how we get together and protect your neighborhood from these evil police. this is what's happening and the governor is encouraging it and speaking the same language. Would you agree with that, Ryan, or am I off base?

6:26 No, I I agree. I think he he's using the language that is comfortable to him and he may not even know uh the origin of where that rhetoric is coming from that it is essenti. If you look at the groups um on glenbeck.com in my article, I go into some more detail about them. I mean, they're anarchists. are anarchocommunist and kind of open about it. Uh the material that this group posts comes from groups that are quite open about that and they actually say, you know, as part of setting up your community defense centers in neighborhoods, you know, wherever you can do it, after you pick out a spot, the next step is you find local organizations to bring into your alliance and then you identify nearby vulnerable sites for developing strategic patrol routes like for intelligence gathering and stuff. And what they name are things like car washes and vendor hubs and churches.

7:17 So I suspect there there's an increasing presence of the Christian anarchists and sometimes they'll ally with open Satanists. I've seen that. So

7:29 ally with what? Don't be surprised. Ally with what? uh with like Satanist like people who are I'm a member of the Church of Satan type people and and you'll see them they'll be cross over between them uh within this Turtle Island movement and with Christian anarchists and so this mentioning of churches as vulnerable spots that need protection is it it's just a data point to keep in mind the for whatever they're envisioning but they're envisioning something because their post they had the one of their most recent posts uh which was written with another more openly violent anarchist group uh actually calls for reinforcements, people to show up at a certain location and they ask people to bring their Christmas trees to burn and anything that they can use to barricade the streets.

8:13 This is Ricky. Um thanks for working on this all night by the way. He didn't get a drop of sleep.

8:18 By the way, Ricky is our executive producer of all of the Glenbeck stuff. Um we dialed back some of the language on how we framed the headline of this. Uh we we can definitely uh ascertain that it's an extremist violent group, ICE watches, but you went so far as to call it a domestic terrorist group that fits the definition of the FBI. Can you ex can you explain that because that's pretty loaded. And if we're going to make this claim about her reported ties to ICE watch being a domestic terrorist group, please please back that up.

8:52 Yes, absolutely. I happen to have the uh FBI definition up here. Uh actually uh so you go to fbi.gov, you look at the definition of domestic terrorism um and it reads as follows. And again this is dependent on uh the New York Post reporting saying

9:07 Wait, wait, wait. You broke up. I don't know if you're going from your bedroom to the bathroom, but

9:12 I'm not. Yeah. Wait. Okay. Stay. Okay. You're back. Okay. Go ahead. Tell us what

9:16 Okay, good. Yeah. So, so yeah, New York Post says that she's connected to this group. And so I'm saying that this group meets the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism. And it reads as follows. Violent criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences such as those of a political, social, racial, or environmental nature. So ideologically motivated violence uh that is criminal in nature. Um, which if you're telling if you're teaching your supporters how to free people from the being in the possession of the police, uh, I would say that fits the definition.

9:55 Wow. So, Ryan, have you seen anyone else? I mean, they cuz they yesterday they tried to make her look like just a simple mom um, who, you know, is just really cares about Somali people and injustice and everything else. Uh, and then when this came out, all I heard all day yesterday was she was just she's a an all she is an observer. She was just observing. She's there with this group that they help out with making sure that nothing is wrong and they report on the police and everything else. Is anyone else reporting this? Who this group is that she's actually with?

10:35 New Post touched on it a bit. um they focused more on the charter school uh which is apparently according to their reporting where she connected with Minnesota Icew Watch. Um but I think that came out pretty quickly. Um and so maybe just was a matter of time before people comb through it all. Um, but no, that that narrative is still there forming and uh as you well know, when when there's controversies like this, if you're late with the facts at all, it doesn't take long for things to cement in people's minds at the moment and then in their memories a few weeks later when things fade. Um, and so it's important that we react rapidly uh with the truth and with these types of facts as these things form so people understand what's really going on that the issue you're being told is the issue often isn't actually the issue.

11:23 It never is. It never is. Um, thank you so much uh Ryan. Just keep us up to speed. The article, you can find it at glenbeck.com. He just broke a story with us yesterday um about another domestic terror group that everybody needs to be aware of that is on the uh Sharia law side of what's happening to America. This one is just the radical anarchists and communist and Marxists that are involved and that is apparently who she was involved with. She was not uh just somebody who is there to observe. Again, you don't park your car across the road to block it if you're just an observer.

12:06 That's insanity and we all know it. Will anyone actually uh admit to that in the press? We'll we'll see. Ryan, thank you so much. Where do people go to help to help you? I I got to write this down so I have it.

12:20 Sure. That it's just my name.com. So, ryanaro.com is is the easiest way to do it. So, thank you for that.

12:26 You bet. You bet. Ryan Marorrow. I I have to tell you, we there are several people that we um have been watching over years. Um and uh and we rely on and look at as really good, solid, reasonable people that we know do their homework. Um that we have worked with over the years. And one of the things that I'm doing with my new torch project is a couple of things. One, um we're not holding back. we, you know, when we would do these Wednesday night specials, it would take us about two weeks to do a Wednesday night special. So, we were always two weeks ahead on whatever it was. Um, and there's so much going on that what we found was by the time we would get there, there would be another story in the news that was so big that this one kind of fell by the dust and and we don't have time to wait. Uh, and so we've taken our Wednesday night specials and we're just putting them on radio every day. Uh, and when we find

13:27 it, we don't hold it. We just give it to you right away. Um, because I just feel that's the right thing to do for time. Um, but we're also um we are more than doubling our uh efforts on research. uh and Ryan is one of our new partners uh and we are working closely with them uh to make sure that their research is seen and heard and we work together because I also don't think any of us have time to duplicate efforts. We have to work together if we're going to uh make progress and save not just America, Western civilization. So, if you want to support him uh beyond what we're doing, please go to Ryan Morrow. Ryan M aur o ryanmoro.com. You can support him there.

14:17 You can find his article now at glenbeck.com. Make sure there's a link on all of his articles to him. Uh so people can support. We're supporting him as well. Um but also you can support us 10% once we start doing uh subscriptions. I've always tithed 10% of everything that I personally make. I have made a new rule. Not only am I doing that, but my company, every dime our company makes, 10% will go to charity and to people like Ro Ryan beyond what we do uh to make sure that we are that we are uh giving back to the community.
