Strategy 23 involves weaving a blend of fact and fiction to disturb an enemy's focus. The hosts cite the 50 intelligence officials who labeled the Hunter Biden laptop "Russian propaganda" as a prime example. They also discuss the recent news about T-Mobile monitoring texts for "hate speech" as a distraction from the fact that the NSA already possesses all digital communications.
A 1992 interview clip of Tupac Shakur features the rapper discussing the need for economic help and "payback" for Black Americans to achieve self-sufficiency. Mo Facts notes that the message of being denied upward mobility remains consistent from the 1960s through the 1990s. He warns that America is ignoring a growing class of disenchanted, out-of-work young men.
The discussion critiques the American welfare system, suggesting it is designed to keep people trapped in poverty rather than providing a "springboard" back into the workforce. Mo Facts argues for a strong social safety net that provides significant upfront support instead of small, lingering payments. They link this to the modern push for Universal Basic Income (UBI) and the habituation of people staying at home.
A shift in global business strategy is discussed, moving from a "more people" model (more consumers, more babies) to a "less people" model favored by climate activists at COP26. The hosts explain how ESG investing prevents pension funds from investing in profitable sectors like oil and gas. They argue that corporate governance is now focused on stock price manipulation through share buybacks rather than traditional bottom-line profits.
Donald Trump's 2016 pitch to Black voters is analyzed, specifically his focus on the 58% youth unemployment rate. The hosts discuss the importance of early employment for developing work ethic and compare the job mobility of the Trump era to the Clinton years of the 1990s.
America and Australia are described as having roots as penal colonies for Europe's "waste people." The American caste system allows for some upward mobility, but those who ascend often "pass" into WASP culture and distance themselves from their origins. The debate over reparations is framed as a national debt owed by the state rather than a personal grievance between individuals.
