What are you scared of this Halloween? Michael Myers? Jack Torrance? Drake? The American right’s answer to that question is France. They have noticed what is happening there and they are scared and excited as hell. Jared and Mike dig into the wave of school blockades, Yellow Vest revival protests, and brutal police crackdowns sweeping France (and now spreading to Belgium, Italy, Greece, and beyond), and how MAGA influencers are already repurposing the footage, stripped of context and sometimes outright faked by AI, into an implausible story about scary leftists and immigrant chaos coming for the West next.
Also in this episode: the DOJ digs through 50 years of Ilhan Omar’s life looking for a deportation pretext while the FBI rushes noncitizen voter-fraud cases ahead of Election Day. Trump and Vance roll out a $25 million snitch fund and dangle pardons for patriotic brain genius Nick Shirley. A brutal attack ad against Ohio’s Amy Acton drags her childhood sexual abuse into the governor’s race, and right-wing influencers immediately accuse her of lying about it.
