The hosts play a clip of George Soros expressing dissatisfaction with Barack Obama's handling of the 2008 financial crisis. Soros argues Obama should have nationalized the banks. The hosts suggest this tension informs the current "Great Reset" and the push for central bank digital currencies under the Biden-Harris administration.
In a throwback clip from episode 23, Tavis Smiley reports that Black America lost ground in every leading economic category during the decade of the Obama presidency. The hosts discuss Smiley's subsequent "cancellation" and the lack of tangible progress for Black families between 2008 and 2016.
In a 2008 clip, Michael Bloomberg appears to defend redlining, suggesting that the elimination of the practice led to the housing market collapse. He argued that forcing banks to lend in poor neighborhoods resulted in loans being given to individuals with poor credit, which he blamed for the subsequent economic instability.
