Black Lives Matter issued a statement criticizing the Democratic Party for "anointing" Kamala Harris without a public primary vote.

This strategy is viewed as an attempt to shore up support among black male voters and balance the ticket's perceived gaps.

Malcolm X is heard in archival footage suggesting that the Nation of Islam (NOI) received financial support from a "rich man in Texas," identified as H.L. Hunt. Hunt, a supporter of the KKK, allegedly funded the NOI because their goal of racial separation aligned with his white supremacist ideology. The rift between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad began when Malcolm described the JFK assassination as "chickens coming home to roost," a statement that terrified Muhammad due to his ties to Hunt.

In 1960, the KKK and the Nation of Islam reportedly attempted to negotiate a deal to create a segregated black state in the South, facilitated by their mutual interest in racial separation. H.L. Hunt funded both sides of this narrative to maintain a system of conflict and division. This "unholy alliance" allowed NOI ministers to travel freely through the South without Klan interference, while Hunt used the NOI's "white devil" rhetoric to fuel his own propaganda.

A news clip from Australia discusses the concept of "strategic ambiguity" regarding the country's stance on Taiwan.

The hosts discuss the historical role of the United Nations in establishing the borders of Israel and Palestine, questioning the true source of power behind these decisions.

James Brown is highlighted as a rare entertainer who controlled his own fortune, owning radio stations and private jets by 1969.

Adam Curry shares a personal story from the Netherlands regarding a law that allows individuals to freeze another person's bank account over a perceived debt.

Historical tensions are revisited, including Jesse Jackson's 1984 "Haimies" comment and the rise of the Nation of Islam.

A National Geographic report confirms that rats can enter homes through toilet pipes by navigating residential sewer lines and scaling vertical surfaces. The report describes how rats can hold their breath and find air pockets to push through the "maze-like" plumbing of a standard toilet. The hosts jokingly link this "urban nightmare" to the potential spread of monkeypox via "Russian rats" sent by Vladimir Putin.

Quotes from 19th-century German scientists, including Gustav Jäger and Friedrich Helwald, characterize war as a "natural law" essential for human progress and the destruction of weaker nations. These thinkers argued that the physically and mentally "lower" must give way to the stronger.

He emphasizes the need for decentralized, Black-owned media to combat these exaggerations and establish a new standard of presentation.

MSNBC contributor Elie Mystal is criticized for his "vociferous and bombastic" social media presence and his claim that the U.S. Constitution is "kind of trash." Mo Fax points out that Mystal, who was born in Haiti, lacks the "foundational Black American" (ADOS) lived experience. The hosts roast Mystal's appearance and his "Social Media Sage" persona, arguing he is an over-represented voice used by the media to speak for all Black men.
