Donald Trump uses the term "schlonged" to describe Hillary Clinton's 2008 primary loss and mocks her late return to a debate stage following a bathroom break. Reports suggest Clinton's delay was caused by the presence of Huma Abedin or another individual in the facility, leading to Trump's "disgusting" characterization of the event.

Following the release of the Levin Report, there is increasing media speculation regarding the criminal prosecution of Goldman Sachs executives, specifically CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Matt Taibbi and Elliot Spitzer appeared on Anderson Cooper's program to discuss the lack of accountability for the 2008 financial crisis. The theory suggests that Blankfein may be used as a scapegoat to satisfy public demand for justice while the broader financial system remains unchanged.

Elliot Spitzer's interview with Muslim extremist Anjem Choudary is described as a "created piece of crap." Spitzer's lead-in claimed that radical Islam was "conspicuously absent" from the Arab Spring, a premise the hosts find logically flawed. They mock Spitzer's aggressive posturing and the scripted nature of the cable news segment.

The nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court has sparked media debate regarding her sexual orientation, which some describe as the "elephant in the room." Politico reported that friends of Kagan are denying she is gay, citing past dates with figures like Elliot Spitzer. The hosts compare the media's handling of her personal life to the Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill hearings.

The hosts review the "Top 25 Censored Stories" list, highlighting items such as Japan's questioning of 9/11, the FBI's InfraGard program deputizing businesses, and the seizure of war protesters' assets. The list emphasizes stories that received little to no coverage in mainstream corporate media.

The discussion shifts to the $170 million AIG bonus scandal, which is characterized as a distraction from billions in taxpayer funds flowing through AIG to counterparties like Goldman Sachs. Former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer is cited for his analysis of how AIG functioned as an insurance conduit for bad money deals. Questions are raised regarding why the U.S. government only owns 80% of the company rather than full nationalization.
