Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, following correspondence with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The meeting is viewed as an attempt by Trump to broker a deal for hostages or a temporary halt to the war in Gaza before the election to demonstrate diplomatic capability.
Riz Islam, a member of the "Disinformation Dozen," discusses Benjamin Rush, the "father of American psychiatry." Rush theorized that "negritude" was a form of leprosy that caused dark skin, providing a "scientific" justification for segregation. The hosts highlight how this historical medical racism is often omitted from modern biographies of the Founding Fathers.
The hosts criticize the Broadway musical "Hamilton" and mainstream media for "rehabilitating" the image of figures like Benjamin Rush. They argue that portraying Rush as a progressive abolitionist is a form of "linguistic violence" that ignores his racist scientific theories. The musical is described as "programming" for New York elites to adopt a sanitized version of history.
The show transitions to the "Value for Value" segment, thanking producers for their financial support. A significant anonymous donation of $3,000 from "Sir Onymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobbovia" is highlighted. The hosts explain the "money phone" concept and emphasize that the show relies entirely on listener contributions rather than traditional advertising or big tech monetization.
Attorney Benjamin Crump releases a statement regarding Joe Biden's meeting with the Blake family, which the hosts label as propaganda. They also analyze comments from Kristen Clark of the DOJ, who links Jacob Blake to a legacy of civil rights activism. The hosts criticize Clark and Kamala Harris for speaking on behalf of American descendants of slavery (ADOS) despite their own immigrant backgrounds.
Adam Curry reads donations and notes from executive producers. Brad R. King contributes $344.33, praising the "Trapper's Delight" episode. Other donors like Benjamin Naidus and Curtis Collins discuss their appreciation for the show's unique perspective on history and culture. The segment includes references to the "No Agenda" podcast and various hip-hop artists.
The episode concludes with an exploration of Karl Marx’s nickname, "The Moor," and his "swarthy" complexion. The hosts look at the etymology of "swarthy" and "Schwartz," noting that Benjamin Franklin once described Germans as swarthy. They suggest that Marx’s own racial background is a hidden "rabbit hole" and reiterate that the modern black movement is being steered by the same Marxist scripts used for decades.
Podcaster Benjamin Dixon unearthed the 2015 Bloomberg audio that had been hidden in plain sight on YouTube for five years. Despite the resources of major newsrooms and the Trump campaign, it took an independent creator to isolate and publicize the remarks. This event is cited as a victory for independent media over traditional journalism outlets that failed to vet Bloomberg's record.
Attorney Benjamin Crump introduced Kamala Harris at an Omega Psi Phi conference, praising her as a "trailblazer" for girls of color. Crump, known for representing the families of Trayvon Martin and Botham Jean, announced he would advise Harris on criminal justice reform. The segment highlights the irony of a civil rights attorney backing a former prosecutor with a controversial record.
Attorney Benjamin Crump enters the narrative, representing the Jean family in a civil suit. Mo deconstructs Crump's business model, comparing it to Al Sharpton's "ground game" but updated for the internet era. They discuss how high-profile attorneys use media appearances and protests to create leverage for multi-million dollar settlements, often framing the case around "living while black" to maximize public pressure.
Benjamin Crump discusses the potential for Guyger to receive up to 99 years in prison, mentioning that while the death penalty is a possibility in Texas, it is unlikely in this case. Adam Curry expresses his view on capital punishment, suggesting that if the state is going to execute people, it should be televised for transparency. The hosts prepare for the reveal of the actual sentence.
In a shocking courtroom moment, Botham Jean's brother, Brandt Jean, offers Guyger forgiveness and asks the judge for permission to hug her. Mo suggests this display was "oversold" and potentially influenced by Benjamin Crump to prevent civil unrest and secure a civil settlement. He argues that such public acts of forgiveness are often strategic moves to ensure "the M's" (millions) keep flowing to the legal teams and families.
