The Soros organization has received FCC waivers to facilitate the takeover of Odyssey, one of the largest radio conglomerates in the United States.

The acquisition of the Baltimore Sun by David D. Smith, executive chair of Sinclair Broadcasting, has raised concerns among staff regarding the paper's future editorial direction.

The hosts deconstruct the "American Exceptionalism" meme used by conservative commentators to criticize President Obama.
