Babbitt had prior legal issues, including a 2016 road rage incident in Maryland, though she was found not guilty of the charges. The hosts compare the media's focus on her past to the way George Floyd's criminal history was used by some to deflect from his death. They argue that both sides of the political spectrum use "whataboutism" and past behavior to justify or condemn police violence based on the victim's "team."
A discussion on Donald Trump, referred to as "45 Savage," leads into a personal anecdote about a road rage encounter with an aggressive pedestrian during the COVID-19 lockdown. The incident is used to illustrate the "angry Black man" trope and how individual "work" on racial understanding can change one's reaction to such confrontations. The segment critiques modern diversity concepts like those of Robin DiAngelo.
