The hosts reflect on how environmental and population propaganda began in schools as early as the 1970s and 80s. Adam Curry recalls the excitement of the Boeing 747 being replaced by the "doom and gloom" of the first Earth Day specials on Sesame Street. They argue that children are being indoctrinated to view humanity as a pollutant rather than a miracle.
The hosts analyze a Sesame Street special on racism, which Moe describes as a high level of "mind control." They critique the questions asked by parents, including a child asking if she can "operate on racist brains." Moe argues the special was designed to make white people feel comfortable again and to simplify complex issues into a "skin color only" narrative.
