2016 Electoral College Appeal, Celebrity Campaign
A 2016 video featuring actors like Martin Sheen is revisited, in which they urged Republican electors to vote against Donald Trump. The video argued that the Electoral College was designed by the Founding Fathers as a safeguard against "unfit" candidates. The hosts note the reversal of rhetoric regarding the legitimacy of the Electoral College between 2016 and 2020.
Rob Reiner, Celebrity Mueller Report Video, Deconstruction
A group of celebrities including Robert De Niro, Martin Sheen, and Lawrence Fishburne appeared in a video produced by Rob Reiner to explain the Mueller report. The hosts deconstruct the video, accusing the actors of spreading lies and misrepresenting the report's findings on collusion and obstruction. They argue that the overproduced video is counterproductive and highlights "Trump Derangement Syndrome" among the Hollywood elite.
Unite for America, Celebrity Appeal to Electors
A group of celebrities, including Martin Sheen and Moby, released a video through "Unite for America" urging 37 Republican electors to vote their conscience and block Donald Trump. The campaign cites Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Papers as justification for the Electoral College to prevent an "unfit" candidate from taking office. The hosts mock the dramatic tone and the piano music used in the video.
