The hosts identify a growing trend of anti-capitalist sentiment in mainstream media, specifically citing an interview on CNBC with author Graham Maxton. Maxton, promoting his book "In Darkenment," argues that free-market economics and the "invisible hand" have failed and that commodities like oil are underpriced. The hosts suggest that General Electric, the parent company of CNBC, may be using its platform to promote a more regulated, statist economic model.
