The hosts revisit the origins of Black Lives Matter, citing late Ferguson activist Darren Seals and commentator Dave Packman. They argue the movement is an "AstroTurf" organization funded by George Soros to control organic black movements. The segment claims Soros has spent over $30 million bankrolling demonstrators to turn the movement into a political weapon for the liberal establishment.
Ferguson activist Darren Seals criticized the national leadership of Black Lives Matter, specifically DeRay McKesson, for being "Twitter stars" who were not present on the front lines. Seals argued that the movement was co-opted by outside interests and celebrities like Oprah Winfrey while local residents faced the actual risks. He expressed frustration that funds raised in the name of Ferguson rarely reached the people living in the community.
Darren Seals was found dead in a burning car with a gunshot wound in 2016, a case that remains largely unresolved by the St. Louis County Police Department. The lack of media follow-up on his death is compared to the Seth Rich homicide in Washington D.C., suggesting that certain activists are silenced when they challenge powerful narratives. The absence of "martyr" status for Seals is interpreted as evidence that his dissent against the established movement made him politically inconvenient.
