Nina Turner is introduced as a "dark horse" candidate for the VP slot and the ideological successor to Bernie Sanders. The hosts question why Turner and Killer Mike were unable to move Sanders on the issue of reparations during his campaign. They suggest Sanders may have been "controlled opposition" due to his consistent refusal to support cash payments for black Americans.
Nina Turner discusses the longevity of the Sanders movement, describing it as a young and growing force among Millennials and Gen Z. She argues that the African American community is "brand loyal" to established politicians, which made it difficult for Sanders to break through in 2016 and 2020. The hosts suggest Turner is positioning herself for future leadership as Sanders retires from the national stage.
The hosts analyze an interview where Nina Turner is asked if she would serve as Biden's VP, calling the exchange "orchestrated" and "bad acting." They argue the segment was designed to elevate Turner's profile and place her in the national conversation. Despite the theater, they conclude that the Biden camp would never actually pick her due to her "truth-teller" reputation.
