The hosts discuss the evolution of the Tea Party movement, noting its origins in Ron Paul's libertarian "money bombs" and its subsequent co-opting by social conservatives. They identify figures like Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, and Brian Fisher of the American Family Association as leaders pushing the movement away from fiscal issues toward social agendas.

Brian Fisher of the American Family Association explains his involvement in the Tea Party, emphasizing "cultural and social values" such as the right to life and natural marriage. The hosts argue that Fisher's rhetoric is designed to "bust up" the original libertarian nature of the movement by introducing divisive social issues.
