The firing of Tucker Carlson from Fox News is discussed in the context of a leaked text message regarding a video of a fight between Trump supporters and an "Antifa kid."

They suggest Carlson was fired because he became an elite who refused to follow the system's script.

The New York Times is described by a panelist as a "public trust" managed by a Jewish family rather than a purely profit-driven business.

They also note that TikTok has not banned West, speculating that the Chinese-owned platform may see a benefit in allowing his controversial presence to remain.

Public health officials are using wastewater monitoring to track the spread of monkeypox, a technique previously used for COVID-19 and polio.

They jokingly warn of "Russian rats" climbing through toilets to spread disease, combining wastewater surveillance with bioweapon fears.

Professor Casey Johnson discusses the "Group of 88" Duke faculty members who signed a full-page ad condemning the lacrosse players before any charges were filed. The hosts characterize this as an "inside coup" where professors exploited their own students to advance a campus agenda focused on race, class, and gender. The New York Times is criticized for its relentless, one-sided coverage that set the national media tone.

The hosts discuss how the Duke case demonstrated a "shared goal" between liberal faculty, ambitious prosecutors, and the New York Times. This coordination is described not as a formal conspiracy, but as a mutually beneficial alignment of interests to push a specific ideological vision. The segment notes that the "woke" graduates of 2006 are now the mid-career professionals running modern media and corporate institutions.

The hosts analyze recent reporting from the New York Times regarding the presence of federal informants in the crowds during the January 6th Capitol riot.

The conversation emphasizes how these labels allow the government to circumvent standard legal protections.

The hosts reflect on the disinformation that led to the Iraq War, specifically citing Colin Powell's presentation of anthrax vials at the UN and the New York Times' reporting on aluminum tubes.

The discussion emphasizes that the general population now demands "clean" wins and transparency.

Wendy Williams and Charlamagne tha God have reportedly reunited after years of estrangement. They discuss their history in New York radio and the "banter" that defines their relationship.

The hosts note that both figures are currently aligned in their skepticism of the vaccine narrative.

Karen Ames, a longtime Bronx school superintendent, filed a $150 million lawsuit claiming she was fired for refusing to perform the "Wakanda Forever" salute during meetings. The segment details how Ames was allegedly targeted by Chancellor Richard Carranza's "disrupt and dismantle" campaign. The hosts discuss the absurdity of a fictional movie salute becoming a mandatory professional requirement and its historical roots in the Egyptian symbol for Osiris.

Media outlets like the New York Post resurfaced a story about Boosie Badazz paying for his 14-year-old son to have sex as a way to discredit his criticism of Dwyane Wade.

They argue there is a societal disparity in which certain parenting choices are deemed acceptable while others are weaponized by the media to silence dissent.

During a New York Times "TimesTalk," Diddy discusses "Black Excellence" and the "magic" of the Black community.

The hosts analyze a New York Times report showing that the black share of the electorate fell in Georgia despite a 30% increase in registration.

Megan Thee Stallion pens an op-ed for the New York Times regarding violence against Black women following a shooting incident involving Canadian rapper Tory Lanez.

They note the inclusion of trans-mortality statistics in the media coverage of the event.

Using clips from *Gangs of New York*, the hosts discuss the historical alliance between politicians like Boss Tweed and criminal gangs. Mo Fax explains his "Third Wave" theory, where the criminal element capitalizes on the chaos created by activists and provocateurs. They argue that America's roots are deeply embedded in a criminal mindset where "only the strong survive."

Kanye West met with White House advisors Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in Colorado to discuss a book on empowering Black Americans. While the media portrays West as a "babbling lunatic" due to his bipolar disorder, the hosts suggest he is targeting socially conservative, older Black Christian voters. They argue that West's message is being intentionally marginalized by mainstream outlets to prevent his ideas from reaching a wider audience.

In a throwback clip, Lurie Daniel Favors passionately denounces Michael Bloomberg's "racist" stop-and-frisk policies, only to admit she would still vote for him if he were the nominee. The hosts use this to illustrate what they perceive as a lack of respect for Black men, noting that Favors would support a candidate whose policies she claimed led to the assault of her own husband.

Before his political career, Donald Trump built his public persona through New York City tabloid feuds and high-profile business battles. The segment recounts his years-long rivalry with Mayor Ed Koch and his failed attempt to challenge the NFL by launching the USFL.
