The final segment features an "end of show mix" centered on the media's coordinated use of the word "weird" to describe Donald Trump and JD Vance. The mix includes clips from various news outlets repeating the "weird" talking point. It also features a controversial clip involving Fred Trump and racial slurs, used to deconstruct current media attacks on the Trump family.

Fred Trump III appeared on CNN with Erin Burnett to promote his book "All In The Family," in which he accuses his uncle, Donald Trump, of being a racist. Fred recounted an anecdote from the 1970s involving a vandalized car and the use of racial slurs. He also cited Trump's stance on the Central Park Five as evidence of a lifelong pattern of racial bias, though the Trump campaign has dismissed the stories as fabricated.

Mary Trump appeared in an exclusive ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos to discuss her memoir, "Too Much and Never Enough." She claimed that Donald Trump's childhood was defined by a lack of love and attention, while her father, Fred Trump Jr., suffered from "too much of the wrong thing." She characterized her grandfather as a sociopath who used his children as pawns.

Mary Trump's motivations for her book are linked to a past lawsuit over her grandfather's inheritance, from which she reportedly received only $200,000. She expressed shame over her father's struggle with alcoholism and his decision to become a TWA pilot instead of joining the family business. The hosts suggest her analysis is based on hearsay and deep-seated family jealousy rather than first-hand knowledge.

Anthony Scaramucci defends Donald Trump against a New York Times investigation into his inheritance and taxes, arguing that being aggressive within the "seams" of the tax code is legal. He cites the legal precedent of Justice Learned Hand regarding tax avoidance. Scaramucci contends that the average American views Trump as a self-made success story regardless of the specific dollar amount he inherited from his father, Fred Trump.

A rapid-fire news segment covers the resignation of Algerian President Bouteflika, the Venezuela crisis, and a potential avocado shortage due to border closures. The hosts highlight President Trump's repeated false claim that his father, Fred Trump, was born in Germany (he was born in the Bronx). They speculate whether Trump is intentionally making the error to provoke the media or if he is confusing his father with his grandfather.

The New York Times published a massive investigative report alleging that Donald Trump participated in dubious tax schemes and outright fraud to inherit wealth from his father, Fred Trump. The hosts criticize the New York Times' audio presentation of the story, specifically the use of jazz drums and "vocal fry" narration. They argue the report uses inflation-adjusted numbers to exaggerate the wealth transferred to Trump during his childhood.

Donald Trump discusses his lifelong abstinence from alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs, citing the tragic death of his older brother Fred due to alcoholism. He explains that he instilled these strict rules in his children from a young age. The segment also touches on the psychological profile of high-powered executives and the role of therapy in Trump's self-awareness.
