Al Franken, Dog Whistles and Anti-Semitic Tropes

A 2016 clip features former Senator Al Franken discussing a political ad with Jake Tapper, where he identifies "dog whistles" targeting Jewish figures like George Soros, Janet Yellen, and Lloyd Blankfein. Franken compares the rhetoric to the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," suggesting it appeals to an alt-right base. The hosts discuss how globalist agendas are often publicly stated rather than secret, despite being labeled as conspiracies.

Symone Sanders, Politically Black Identity

Symone Sanders, a senior advisor to Joe Biden, discusses the historic nature of Kamala Harris's victory with Jake Tapper. The hosts introduce the term "politically black" to describe how Sanders switches between her professional political role and her identity as a black woman to suit the narrative. They note her transition from Bernie Sanders's 2016 campaign to the Biden camp.

Blue Wall Strategy, Georgia Voter Registration Discrepancy

Symone Sanders attributes Biden's win to a broad coalition of suburban, black, Latino, and Native American voters. However, the hosts cite a New York Times article showing that while black voter registration in Georgia rose by 30%, the actual share of the electorate fell. They argue that Sanders's inability to name a specific winning group suggests the data does not support the narrative.
