The hosts analyze the political use of the "non-college educated voter" demographic as a tool for social shaming. They argue that during the Trump and Obama eras, this label was used to portray certain voters as "troglodytes" or "Neanderthals."

The discussion revisits Kevin Samuels' viral "linebacker" comment, where he told an obese woman she did not qualify for a high-value man.

The hosts discuss the rise of public shaming as a political tool, noting its acceleration during the Barack Obama administration alongside the birth of social media.

Shelby Steele views the 1964 Civil Rights Bill and 1965 Voting Rights Act as America's greatest moral moments.
