The hosts discuss a Saturday Night Live sketch featuring "strolling to the polls," noting the irony that the audience likely doesn't know the cultural origins of the dance. They observe that the show was careful not to touch on specific fraternity "Boule" traditions.
A throwback clip from Steve Cokely discusses the "Boule" and the "webs" of black Greek organizations that operate as a hidden power structure. Cokely warns these groups to stop their public manifestations, as he intends to "penetrate" their circles. The hosts use this to explain the "inner sanctum" of black political infrastructure that divides the community into "in-crowds" and "outsiders."
The late Steve Cokely's research into Sigma Pi Phi, also known as the Boule, is revisited. Cokely argued that this elite black secret society exerts significant influence over the black press and various Greek-letter organizations, often acting in the interests of the white establishment.
Roland Martin argues on his YouTube channel that Bernie Sanders failed because he was unwilling to play the "inside game" and negotiate within the system. The hosts identify this as the "Boule mindset," where political change is sought through incrementalism and proximity to power rather than radical outside pressure. They compare this approach to Jay-Z's partnership with the NFL.
The hosts discover that Dr. Oliver Brooks' official biography on the National Medical Association website explicitly lists his membership in Sigma Pi Phi, also known as the Boule. They discuss the significance of this elite black fraternity and its historical role in social engineering.
Commentator Roland Martin expressed confusion over the Gayle King and Snoop Dogg feud, which a guest on his show explained as a reaction to a long history of biased reporting. The guest argued that King and Oprah focus disproportionately on black male predators while giving white males a pass. This segment introduces the concept of the "Boule" or the "talented tenth," elite black individuals accused of protecting the status quo rather than representing the average black male.
The discussion introduces the concept of the Boule (Sigma Pi Phi), a clandestine elite black fraternity. Referencing the late futurologist Steve Cokely, the hosts describe a network of Greek-letter organizations that allegedly exert control over the black community and supported Kamala Harris's political ascent.
The hosts reveal that April Ryan was recently inducted as an honorary member of Delta Sigma Theta, suggesting her defense of Harris is tied to her new status within the "Boule" network. They praise Don Lemon for maintaining integrity by challenging Ryan's narrative on Harris's identity.
The Boulé is described as an elite intellectual class of black society, often associated with the Divine Nine Greek fraternities and Ivy League universities, that steers the black majority. Figures like Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and Al Sharpton are identified as members of this influential group. The discussion posits that these elites protect their own interests and the interests of candidates like Kamala Harris while ignoring the specific tangibles requested by the ADOS movement.
