The hosts compare modern "equity" initiatives to Kurt Vonnegut’s short story *Harrison Bergeron*, where talented individuals are physically handicapped to ensure no one is superior. They argue that Critical Race Theory (CRT) teaches that race is a "disability" for minorities and a "genetic flaw" for Whites. This creates a system where everyone is encouraged to be "humble" and turn down their "light" rather than competing.
Jordan Peterson is compared to Kevin Samuels for his willingness to point out the biological and scientific basis of attraction, such as why women wear high heels or makeup. The segment also discusses the controversy surrounding singer Lizzo and trainer Jillian Michaels, arguing that "body positivity" has become part of a "corporate credit score" that discourages pointing out health risks. This shift is traced back to anti-bullying movements in the education system starting around 2010.
April Reign, the creator of the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag, explains the origins of the movement and its expansion into a broader critique of corporate diversity. She describes the distinction between diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE). The hosts argue that Reign's movement created a massive "windfall of corporate cash" and a new industry for diversity consultants.
Steve Bannon introduces the terms "inclusive nationalism" and "expansionary populism" during an interview with Jason Whitlock. He argues that nationalism should focus on the premium value of American citizenship regardless of race or religion. Bannon predicts that this movement will capture 70% of the voting population by focusing on the economic interests of the working class.
The hosts conclude the donation segment by thanking more producers and reading a letter from a parent in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The letter describes controversial Black History Month materials sent by a school district's Diversity and Inclusion Officer, which focused on white activists and LGBTQ+ figures rather than traditional black history. The hosts use this to illustrate how social movements are often hijacked to promote unrelated agendas.
A bizarre news report from The Young Turks describes a rebranding effort by a KKK faction known as the Rocky Mountain Knights. The group reportedly claimed to be inclusive of Hispanics, Jews, and gays, while still maintaining the traditional robes and hoods of the organization.
