Topic: Cultural Imperialism

The historical conflict between the United States and Muslim forces in North Africa, referenced in the Marine Corps Hymn, is linked to modern foreign policy. The export of "democracy" is characterized as a modern version of the historical "civilizing" missions used to justify territorial and resource acquisition. The discussion also touches on how American culture, including rock and roll and hip hop, acts as a tool for global influence.

The segment compares current American unrest to Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, which sought to eradicate the "Four Olds": old ideas, culture, customs, and habits. Parallels are drawn between the renaming of streets (Black Lives Plaza) and the destruction of historical monuments. The hosts suggest these tactics are being used to remove "old white men" from the power structure.
