Topic: Anna Kasparian

The hosts discuss the widespread media narrative that Rittenhouse targeted Black protesters, noting that all three men shot were white. They highlight a rare retraction from Anna Kasparian of The Young Turks, who admitted she was wrong about the facts of the case after watching the trial.

The hosts apply Professor Mattias Desmet's theory of "Mass Formation" to the public's reaction to the Rittenhouse trial. They discuss how the 30% of people who are "hypnotized" by the narrative cannot be reached, but the 40% who simply go along with it can be influenced by factual information.
