The word "privilege" is broken down etymologically to its Latin roots: "privus" (private) and "lex" (law), meaning "private law." This definition implies that privileges are special permissions granted to a restricted group, similar to "good behavior" perks in a prison. The hosts emphasize that while privileges can be rescinded by the grantor, fundamental rights are inherent and cannot be given or taken away by a supreme system.
Black Lives Matter Executive Orders, Private Prisons, Continued Protests
The segment covers Joe Biden's executive orders regarding racial justice and the phasing out of private federal prison contracts. Despite these moves, some activists remain skeptical. The hosts note reports of continued unrest and burned flags in cities like Portland and Seattle, which they claim received less media coverage than previous protests.
The episode concludes with a prediction that the future will hold "tiers" of policing: five-star private security for the rich and a "McDonald’s of police" for the poor. The hosts warn that this corporate takeover will lead to more poorly trained interactions in disadvantaged neighborhoods. They sign off by encouraging listeners to "pay attention to everything" as the truth reveals itself during the election year.
