In Episode 8 of Season 16, Gavin Stephens and Daniel Grant discuss the shocking assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione, a man many are calling a class hero. The duo unpacks the growing divide between those who see Luigi’s actions as a response to wealth inequality and liberals attempting to distract from systemic issues by labelling him simply as a murderer.
From the role of corporate greed to the moral and political fallout, Gavin and Daniel break down what this event says about the state of capitalism, class struggle, and the narratives surrounding them.
