Just days after the killing of a Mexican immigrant in Texas, immigration agents fatally shot another immigrant, also driving to work, this time in a small town in southern Maine. Joan Sebastian Guerrero, originally from Colombia, was 26 years old and the father of a 3-year-old daughter. He was reportedly authorized to work in the United States, had been issued a Social Security number and was not the target of any warrant. The Department of Homeland Security has defended the shooting, saying that ICE fired on Guerrero in his car out of fear for "public safety."

But since the interview was uploaded online, Schulz said he's gotten a peak into just how many people still support the divisive ex-president. "It was the looks on the street," Schulz said on the podcast. "It was like, you know when someone who's trying to sell you drugs, they give you this nod," he explained, implying that supporters of Trump's were silently expressing their approval of the sit-down. "That's all I've been getting for the last week."
