TRAC (Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium) is revealed to be a product of the Beachum Group, a Florida-based publishing company. The organization claims to have 2,800 experts worldwide and sells its intelligence databases to media outlets and government agencies. The hosts express skepticism about the group's origins and its transition from environmental publishing to high-level terrorism analysis.

A controversial British study claiming alcohol is more harmful than heroin or crack is deconstructed as a tool for "neo-prohibitionism." The hosts argue that demonizing alcohol is a method of social control, as it is harder to govern people who drink. A separate news clip is played claiming that "smarter people drink more," which the hosts find ironic given the push to ban alcohol.
