Inspired by an interview with Marty Kaplan on the Bill Moyers Journal, the hosts propose an "Official No Agenda Riot Checklist" to distinguish between organic civil unrest and staged protests. They examine the role of the World Workers Party in organizing demonstrations and note that professionally printed signs often indicate a lack of spontaneous rioting.
Marty Kaplan argues that Americans are addicted to "infotainment" and fail to take to the streets like citizens in Brazil despite crumbling infrastructure and political corruption. The hosts mock the distraction of modern technology, imagining a future where Google Glass facilitates drug delivery while users watch reality television.
