Topic: Michael Meyer

Late-night hosts and activists like Michael Moore are criticized for their "unhinged" political commentary. Moore claimed the U.S. is in a "constitutional crisis within a constitutional crisis" and argued for the dissolution of the Senate and the Electoral College in favor of a "true democracy." The hosts argue these figures ignore the reality of the United States as a constitutional republic to promote mob rule.

Michael Moore appeared on Seth Meyers' show suggesting that men should "take a break" and let women run the world for the next 10,000 years. The hosts mock Moore's "insane" proposal and his self-identification as an "uneducated angry white guy" from Michigan. They conclude the segment by reaffirming their mission of media deconstruction to help listeners stay sane amidst such rhetoric.

The hosts discuss the 1933 novel It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis. Curry compares the book's themes of a totalitarian fascist state to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, suggesting Rand may have been influenced by Lewis. Dvorak also recommends Life and Death in Shanghai, a book about the communist takeover of Shanghai.
