Kim Foxx's ties to Emily's List and the Time's Up movement are highlighted, linking her to a network of powerful female activists and donors. The hosts argue that Time's Up was a managed rebranding of the grassroots Me Too movement, orchestrated by Hollywood elites like Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah Winfrey uses the story of Recy Taylor to launch the Time's Up movement at the Golden Globes. The hosts argue this was a deliberate attempt by Hollywood elites to co-opt the grassroots Me Too movement and install a "leaderless" but highly managed structure.
The hosts sign off by encouraging listeners to "pay attention to everything" and thanking the producers for their support. The episode concludes with the song "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume, serving as a final thematic nod to the Jussie Smollett discussion.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discussed a "90-day sprint" to unclog the supply chain at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The hosts point out that this timeline extends into January, meaning many holiday goods will not arrive in time for Christmas. They discuss the psychological impact on children when "Santa" fails to deliver promised gifts due to global logistics failures.
The segment details the 1988 protests by ACT UP and playwright Larry Kramer's open letter calling Dr. Fauci an "incompetent idiot." It also covers the cultural influence of the era, claiming that the rapper Old Dirty Bastard was pressured to record a PSA because of the lyrics in "Shimmy Shimmy Ya."
The hosts examine the 2014 stand-up set by Hannibal Buress that reignited public interest in the Bill Cosby allegations. They discuss Buress's critique of Cosby's "smug" public persona and his "pull your pants up" rhetoric. The segment explores whether Buress was an organic catalyst or if the media amplified the joke to facilitate Cosby's takedown.
The hosts critique a clip of Michelle Obama claiming that Donald Trump was lying about minorities destroying the suburbs. They point out that shops were boarded up across the country on election night in anticipation of violence from "overwhelmingly peaceful" movements. They characterize her rhetoric as a "head shaker" that ignores the reality of the chaos experienced in 2020.
Media Suppression, Operation Mockingbird, and Joan Rivers' Death
The suppression of Joan Rivers' comments about the Obamas is cited as evidence of the media protecting a state asset. Rivers died following a "routine" throat procedure shortly after making the controversial remarks. Her final stand-up performance, recorded one day before her hospitalization, included jokes about her own mortality, which some find suspicious in hindsight.
The "Undercover Nurse" describes a culture of fear where medical staff are afraid to question "higher-ups" regarding unethical orders. Adam Curry compares this to his time at MTV, where "they" dictated the narrative. The hosts argue that modern virtue signaling and corporate donations to "Black Lives Matter Inc." are forms of self-preservation for people who are afraid to speak their truth.
Actress Ja'Net DuBois, known for her role on "Good Times," passed away on February 17, 2020. She is remembered for writing and performing "Moving On Up," the theme song for "The Jeffersons." The song was inspired by her personal dream of moving her mother out of a Brooklyn ghetto and achieving the American dream of homeownership.
China's aggressive response to the NBA is attributed to their fear of Western athletes undermining their internal control mechanisms. This situation brings new irony to the "Shut Up and Dribble" comment made by Laura Ingraham, which LeBron James previously turned into a documentary title. Now, under pressure from a totalitarian regime, James and the NBA are literally being forced to "shut up and dribble" to protect their financial interests.
Progressive commentator Dave Pakman discusses the possibility that anti-Bernie Sanders sentiment within the Black Lives Matter movement was "AstroTurfed" by Soros-funded entities. He notes that over $30 million was funneled into various groups to establish Black Lives Matter as a political buzzword.
