Topic: Nobel Peace Prize

Black Lives Matter's nomination for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize is discussed. The hosts criticize the "93% peaceful" statistic cited in media reports, comparing the nomination to Barack Obama's 2009 win. They express concern that the movement's corporate fundraising has detached it from grassroots interests.

Critics argue the 1619 Project ignores significant social and economic reforms post-1930, such as the collapse of the family structure after civil rights reforms. The hosts compare the Pulitzer Prize to the Grammys or the Nobel Peace Prize, suggesting they are now tools for political clout rather than markers of objective achievement.
