The Trump campaign released an advertisement using Joe Biden's own words regarding the 1994 Crime Bill to highlight his role in mass incarceration. The ad claims Biden's policies destroyed millions of black lives and mocks his potential memory issues. The hosts discuss how Trump is using Biden's legislative record as a primary weapon in the 2020 election cycle.
Barack Obama's official endorsement of Joe Biden is reviewed. The hosts argue the endorsement is less about Biden's leadership and more about self-preservation for Obama and other high-level Democrats. They suggest a "criminal ring" involving the FBI's actions against the Trump campaign necessitates a Biden victory to keep incriminating documents classified and prevent legal accountability for the previous administration.
The conversation addresses reports of the Trump campaign placing flyers in black barbershops and using micro-targeting on Facebook. Malcolm X’s historical critique of the Democratic Party—putting the black vote last after securing power—is compared to the 2008-2010 period under Obama. The hosts joke about writing campaign slogans for Trump based on these historical insights.
A 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign advertisement attempted to frame Donald Trump as a racist by highlighting his comments on white supremacists and inner-city poverty. The ad utilized spiritual music to pander to black voters, but critics argue it backfired by reinforcing Trump's "what do you have to lose" message. The segment examines how Clinton's tone-deaf approach failed to address the specific policy needs of the black community.
