Joy Reid compares Donald Trump's upcoming Madison Square Garden rally to a 1939 Nazi rally held at the same venue by the German-American Bund. The hosts point out that the 1939 rally occurred during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat. Reid uses archival footage from 2016 to link Trump's rhetoric to historical political violence.

Alan Dershowitz appears on Mark Levin's show to argue that Hamas is expanding its scope to attack Jewish and Christian institutions worldwide. He compares the current conflict to the fight against Nazi Germany, calling for "total war" and unconditional surrender. The hosts comment on Levin's aging voice and Dershowitz's prolific book publishing schedule.

Journalist Lara Logan appeared on Real America's Voice to discuss the presence of the Azov Battalion in the Ukrainian military and its use of Nazi occult symbols like the Black Sun. Logan argued that the U.S. and NATO have a long history of funding these groups and that the current conflict is being used to obscure deep-seated corruption in Ukraine. She also questioned the effectiveness of Western weapons shipments, suggesting they may be diverted through illicit trafficking networks.

Merriam-Webster and other online dictionaries have updated the definition of nationalism to emphasize "excessive favoritism" and associations with Nazism. The hosts argue that these linguistic shifts are politically motivated responses to leaders like Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, and Justin Trudeau. The term jingoism is discussed as a more historically accurate but less frequently used alternative for extreme patriotism.

The United Nations Human Rights Committee put forth a resolution to combat the glorification of Nazism and neo-Nazism. While 131 countries voted in favor, the United States was one of three nations to vote against it, citing concerns over freedom of speech. Media coverage has largely focused on the U.S. opposition, framing it as problematic while ignoring the specific legal and constitutional reasons for the "no" vote.

Mike Rowe posted a response on Facebook to accusations that his show appeals to white nationalists, arguing against the "cancer" of polarization on both sides. The hosts use this as an example of how people often react to headlines without reading the actual content. John Dvorak shares a similar experience where readers criticized a PC Magazine column about phone safety laws without reading his specific arguments.

The extremist Golden Dawn party has gained 21 seats in the Greek parliament, campaigning on anti-immigrant rhetoric and Holocaust denial.

Nigel Farage causes a stir in the European Parliament by referencing British media reports that compare German influence in the EU to "Gauleiters." The segment includes the heated exchange where Farage's microphone is cut off as he argues the EU project is fueling nationalism and resentment.
