Conservative commentator Larry Elder outlines how Obama's political path was cleared by David Axelrod, including getting opponents kicked off ballots and redesigning districts. The hosts compare Obama's rise to the movie "Trading Places," suggesting he usurped the political slot intended for John Edwards after Edwards was neutralized by scandal.
Congressman Bobby Rush's 2016 apology for his vote on the 1994 Crime Bill is reviewed alongside the roles of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The hosts argue that the "super predator" narrative was a calculated political tool used by both parties. A clip from New Jack City is used to argue that the drug trade is a "big business" protected by the same power structures that benefit from prohibition.
