Man Listen...14 Days, No Power: What Happened to Gary, Indiana

September 03, 2026 • The Man Listen Show

0:00 | 53:54

On this episode of The Man Listen Show the crew discusses how Gary, Indiana went fourteen days without power in the middle of August after a derecho tore through the city. Surrounding communities got their lights back in days. Gary is 80 percent Black. National media barely touched it.

The crew gets into whether that gap is racism, neglect, or the compounding result of a century of disinvestment that only looks like a weather story. Then we get into Laura Loomer's attacks on Black women in office, the grift economy that pays Black commentators to punch down, who is still shopping at Target, and the 92 polling locations Tarrant County just shut down.
