Topic: Miss Wisconsin

A viral moment involving former Miss Wisconsin Melissa Young thanking Donald Trump at a rally is analyzed as a potential "plant." Young, who is terminally ill, thanked Trump for a letter he sent her and for his organization's support of her Mexican-American son's education. The hosts note that the story hits multiple political "trifectas" for Trump but received little mainstream media coverage.

A critical review of the 2012 Miss America pageant highlights instances of perceived media manipulation and political bias. Miss California, Laura Kepler, is noted for explicitly mentioning her desire to "manipulate the media," while the eventual winner, Miss Wisconsin, is criticized for failing to answer political questions directly. The discussion contrasts the traditional Miss America pageant with Donald Trump's Miss USA and examines the intelligence of contestant responses regarding Occupy Wall Street and the 1% wealth gap.
