Republican Distrust of Government, Show Outro and Mix
The hosts conclude the eighth anniversary show by citing a poll showing that 48% of Republicans view the federal government as a threat to life and liberty. They sign off with their traditional "In the morning" greetings and a music mix featuring clips from the episode's discussions on drones, glitches, and government lies.
Trump's Financials, The Apprentice Earnings, Jay-Z Comparison
CNN's media show questioned Donald Trump's claim of earning $213 million from *The Apprentice*, which the hosts defend as a realistic figure for a long-running hit show. They compare Trump's public persona to that of Jay-Z, noting that Americans generally admire wealthy, "pompous" winners. The segment concludes with a critique of political analysts who refuse to watch the GOP debates if Trump is included.
Republican Party Polling Decline and Political Affiliation
Recent polling indicates that only 20% of Americans identify as Republicans, a sharp decline attributed to the party's perceived takeover by extreme factions. The hosts discuss the distinction between being a conservative and being a Republican. They also remind the audience that the United States is not strictly a two-party system, encouraging the exploration of alternative political affiliations.
