Tyler Perry discusses his role in building vaccine confidence during an interview with Anthony Mason, citing a Kaiser Health study on racial disparities in vaccination rates. Perry claims he is providing information for personal choice rather than mandating the shot, though the hosts argue he was specifically hired to "speak Black" to the target demographic. The discussion touches on the perceived hypocrisy of "woke" culture regarding science and math.

Biden Meeting Part Two, Charlottesville Rhetoric, Words vs Actions

The hosts return to Krystal Ball's analysis of the leaked Biden audio. Biden is heard insisting that "the words of presidents matter" and citing his response to Charlottesville as a primary campaign platform. The hosts interpret this as the behavior of a "confidence man" who prioritizes rhetoric over substantive policy changes.
