What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We have another disturbing ice shooting raising serious questions after a man was shot in the head and then handcuffed while lying on the ground dead.
How did ICE agents allegedly kill and then handcuff a 26‑year‑old man in Maine?
Witnesses say his three year old daughter watched the entire thing. We will talk about it. Donald Trump had a new plan for Lindsey Graham's Senate seat, and they're doing it, making Lindsey's sister the senator of South Carolina. Also, Trump teased teasing a major national address Thursday night. People immediately wondering, is he going to resign? The answer is, of course not. I think something very concerning is coming. I'll tell you what. And we now have even a Republican senator questioning whether this proof of life picture of Senator Mitch McConnell is even real or whether it's new. And I think there's a bigger story building here about what's happening to the Republican Party. Plus, Donald Trump keeps giving strange interview after interview.
at one point yesterday saying that he hit Iran with the nuclear. Does Donald Trump think that he nuked Iran? And later, Donald Trump is finally asked, what happens if Democrats do take back the House and impeach you and he doesn't like it? It was not something he wanted to talk about. All of that and more today.
. . . . . But I believe what we are going to see here is a man who is already dead, dragged out of a car and handcuffed once on the ground. Again, this may be considered graphic in a sense. This is one of the images that is fueling outrage and sparking protests. It's another ice shooting. This one is in Biddeford, Maine.
Take a look at this. Speaker 1 So this is the victim of the shooting.
Reportedly believed to be long dead when he was dragged out of his car and then handcuffed. Now, he has been identified as a 26 year old Colombian man who, according to immigrant immigrants rights advocates, was authorized to work in the United States and was on his way to work when this encounter took place and led to him losing his life. There are reports. I mean, this is just heartbreaking. Witnesses say that this took place in front of the man's three year old daughter, who was reportedly still wearing her bluey pajamas. It's folks. Why? Videos show what is an extraordinarily chaotic scene. It involves a white Kia sedan. You see the federal agents in the video wearing vests, identifying themselves, some as police, some as ICE.
There are other videos. We're not going to just play video after video here, but there's a video that shows it appears to show a collision with the Kia. There are pictures that show bullet holes in the driver's side of the car, and witnesses understandably gave differing accounts of what exactly happened in the moments before the shooting. One witness said the driver appeared to put the car into drive and move towards an agent after repeated commands, at which point the agent fired. That's one report. Another witness says that they looked out after hearing the gunshots and said that the victim was bleeding from the head but still speaking and that the man repeatedly said, I tried to stop. I tried to stop some conflicting reports.
These facts are going to need to be sorted out by investigators. Do we believe that these investigators are the unbiased and impartial observers who should be carrying out such an investigation? I don't know. I'm leaning towards probably not. but a number of very troubling aspects to this case already. First of all, Senator Angus King of Maine said that after speaking with Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, who, by the way, has no business being Homeland Security secretary, he was informed that the man who was killed was not even the target of the warrant that officers were trying to execute. Think about that. If that is accurate, forget about they were too rough with the guy they were looking for.
This means it is another person who was not even the intended target is ending up dead during another one of these harebrained ICE operations. And we've seen similar things before. Just last week, another man was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Texas.
