The hosts highlight the failure of professional fact-checkers, noting that stories once labeled as false—such as the Hunter Biden laptop and the Wuhan lab leak theory—have since been proven true. They argue that the "spell" of Hollywood and celebrity influencers has been broken, as evidenced by falling award show ratings and the inability of stars to move the needle on public opinion. Alternative media is presented as the new dominant force in information sharing.
A local news segment is used to debunk claims that Antifa orchestrated the Capitol attack. The report identifies the "QAnon Shaman" Jake Angeli as a known Trump supporter and dismisses flyers and tattoos as being unrelated to Antifa. However, the hosts point out that John Sullivan's presence and his history with radical left-wing groups complicate the simple "false" labels provided by the media.
The hosts discuss a social media interaction regarding Joe Biden's historical use of the term "predator" versus "super predator." They critique how "fact-checking" is often used to protect narratives and suggest using the phrase "I'm surprised you used your privilege" as a rhetorical tool to disarm bad-faith arguments.
