About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of a fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford, featuring protests and political commentary.

- Tom Shattuck from the Maine Wire fills in for Gerry today. - Video of the fatal Biddeford ICE encounter drives the episode, showing the driver circling agents and ignoring commands before gunfire as politicians and protesters immediately label the shooting murder. - Maine Wire reporter Jon Featherston challenges demonstrators on what they actually know, then faces insults, threats, physical contact, and a skateboard strike while local police largely stay out of the confrontation. - Seth Moulton is hammered for minimizing the threat posed by a moving vehicle and embracing the anti-ICE narrative, while the episode argues that obeying lawful commands prevents deadly escalation. - A study alleging Apple and Google suppress negative Graham Platner coverage fuels accusations of Big Tech favoritism, while Haley Stevens’ awkward Michigan pitch is mocked as manufactured populism. - Evan McKay, a Harvard-trained UAW organizer running in Massachusetts, is portrayed as the latest elite activist repackaging campus unionism, LGBTQ advocacy, and anti-dark-money rhetoric as a working-class campaign.
