The White House and mainstream media outlets utilized the term "cheap fakes" to dismiss videos showing President Joe Biden's apparent cognitive and physical decline.

This narrative was later challenged by Biden's performance in the June presidential debate, which confirmed many of the concerns previously labeled as "cheap fakes."

The episode concluded with a media montage focusing on the "cheap fakes" narrative used by the White House to dismiss videos of President Biden's cognitive decline. The hosts announced the next show would coincide with the upcoming presidential debate. The sign-off included a final reminder of the value-for-value model and a farewell to the "mofos."
