The hosts revisit the 2016 incident where Edgar Welch fired shots inside Comet Ping Pong pizza parlor while "self-investigating" Pizzagate. They suggest Welch may have been a "crisis actor" or part of a "limited hangout" designed to discredit the Pizzagate theory. They note that Judge Jackson was the one who sentenced Welch to four years in prison, contrasting it with her lighter sentencing in other cases.
The 2016 Pizzagate incident at Comet Ping Pong is discussed as a potential model for the January 6th Capitol riots. The hosts argue that the media used a single individual's actions to discredit a wide range of concerns regarding elite misconduct. They note that while the specific pizza restaurant theory was widely mocked, the underlying issues of human trafficking and political corruption remain unaddressed by mainstream outlets.
