The Open Society Foundations' grants are distributed through an "ecosystem of justice" including groups like Black Voters Matter and the Equal Justice Initiative. The hosts examine the lack of transparency in how Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is funded, noting that it often uses larger non-profits like Thousand Currents as a fiscal sponsor to process donations and manage back-office operations.
The hosts discuss the "Darwinism" of non-profit organizations, arguing that they seek to grow their "client base" rather than solve problems like homelessness or poverty. They compare this to the pharmaceutical industry's preference for treating rather than curing diseases. The segment critiques long-term politicians like Nancy Pelosi for presiding over systems that reinforce dependency.
