About this Episode

Elon Green talks with Rachel Holiday Smith and Harry Siegel about the direct line from the Transit Police beating Michael Stewart to death in front of horrified art students in 1983 to Eric Adams being elected mayor in 2021 — one that intersects with Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Spike Lee and Tucker Carlson.
