Social media influencers have sparked controversy by suggesting that Trump voters should not celebrate the Fourth of July, claiming they are "destroying the country." Meanwhile, liberal commentators highlighted that Donald Trump currently holds historically low approval ratings, comparable only to his own first term. The discussion touched on the deep ideological divide and the rhetoric used by "delusional" political factions.

The hosts engage in a satirical role-play where they pretend to be "The Mad Libs," a liberal version of their own show designed to attract mainstream advertisers. They mock common liberal media tropes, such as calling the President "orange-headed" and praising Al Green. The bit explores the idea of "selling out" to the left-wing media ecosystem for financial gain.

The discussion continues with TikTok clips of women bragging about being "divorced and unable to cook" as a way to ward off conservative men. Another clip features a woman telling Trump supporters that the movie *Wicked* is "not for them." The hosts identify the *Wicked* clip as a potential "native ad" paid for by the film's marketing team.

The hosts critique the "Pivot" podcast hosted by Kara Swisher and Professor Scott Galloway, characterizing it as a mouthpiece for liberal intellectual elites. They discuss the repetitive nature of mainstream media narratives and the tendency of certain podcasters to parrot New York Times talking points.

A personal anecdote from a hair salon describes "uber-liberal" clients who remain deathly afraid of COVID-19, wearing double masks and gloves even a year into the pandemic.

Activists like Linda Sarsour are incorporating anti-Asian sentiment into broader social justice narratives.

Kara Dansky of the Women's Liberation Front discusses the impact of transgender ideology on women's sports and Title IX protections.

Dansky claims there is a media blackout on left-wing critics of the trans movement.

Ann Thompson discussed the liberal political agenda of Hollywood on the Showbiz Sandbox podcast, questioning its impact on mainstream American viewers. The 2018 Oscars featured a military montage that some interpreted as a "thank you" for the financial support the military provides to the film industry. Observations were made regarding the use of a spoken-word artist in a Microsoft commercial that aired immediately after he appeared on the Oscar stage.

A New York Times editorial identified a "Samantha Bee problem," suggesting that smugness in liberal media contributed to the Democratic Party's struggles. In an interview, Bee responded to the critique by stating she creates her show for herself and like-minded people, rather than a broad audience. The hosts interpret this attitude as a sign of a disconnected media elite and predict it may lead to future cancellations.
