Thomas Sowell discusses whether social changes are "calculated" or merely the result of arrogant beliefs. He cites the debunked claim that domestic violence increases on Super Bowl Sunday as an example of a calculated lie. The hosts discuss "social capture," where individuals are forced to conform to avoid losing their jobs, pensions, or social standing, using Donald Trump’s exclusion from elite circles as an example.
A viral clip shows Newt Gingrich being silenced by Fox News anchors Harris Faulkner and Melissa Francis when he mentions George Soros's role in funding progressive District Attorneys. The hosts analyze the "awkward exchange" as evidence of a "forbidden" topic even on conservative networks. They joke about the instructions being barked into the anchors' earpieces to protect corporate interests and campaign donors.
