The discussion shifts to the systematic removal of the social media platform Parlor from the internet by Silicon Valley competitors. While mainstream narratives focus on domestic terrorism, the hosts characterize the event as an epitome of anti-competitive behavior. They also reference a recent appearance on Hotel Jesus's show and the importance of providing news without the typical media slant to maintain mental sanity.
The discussion covers ProPublica's use of archived Parler footage to construct a narrative of a planned insurrection. While condemning the destruction of property and violence, the hosts argue that the majority of the crowd was aimless rather than terroristic. They define the breaking of glass as the moment civility ends and mob mentality takes over, though they maintain the event was not comparable to Benghazi.
Concerns are raised regarding the potential for a "Patriot Act 2.0" targeting domestic dissidents. The hosts argue that the current climate of self-censorship and the inability to tolerate differing opinions stems from a failure in the education system. They criticize the modern requirement for total agreement and the labeling of political opponents as terrorists.
