The hosts mock Nancy Pelosi for a verbal slip where she suggested Donald Trump should "take the oath of office" when she meant he should testify under oath. They briefly discuss her age and her role as a source of comedic material for the show.

A critique of President Donald Trump's Oval Office speech focuses on his claim that he swore an oath to "protect our country." The actual constitutional oath of office requires the president to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The addition of the phrase "so help me God" is noted as a historical tradition rather than a legal requirement of the text.

The hosts criticize Nancy Pelosi for a speech claiming her commitment to "protect and defend the American people." They argue that the actual oath of office is to protect and uphold the Constitution, not the people. They contrast her rhetoric with the reality of young soldiers dying in Afghanistan for "no reason."

Adam Curry responds to criticism on Reddit regarding his interpretation of the presidential oath of office. The segment also includes a donation from "Sir Anonymous" in North Carolina, who jokingly referenced "golden shower head douche kits" available on Amazon.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are criticized for claiming the President's primary job is to keep the American people safe. The hosts argue that the actual constitutional oath of office requires the President to protect and uphold the Constitution, not prioritize safety over civil liberties. They reference a PBS NewsHour article that clarifies this distinction in the context of modern political rhetoric.

The hosts critique California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, focusing on their age and public statements regarding gun control. They highlight Feinstein's use of the phrase "buying into the Kool-Aid" and Boxer's claim that her oath of office is to "protect the American people." The hosts argue that the actual oath is to defend the Constitution, suggesting the senators are misrepresenting their duties.

The discussion focuses on President Obama's claim that his primary commitments are keeping people safe and upholding the Constitution. The hosts argue that the presidential oath actually mandates preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution, rather than a specific duty to defend the American people. They further debate the legal definition of privacy rights versus government encroachment.

President Obama's weekly address emphasized the middle class as his "top priority" and "guiding North Star." This rhetoric is criticized for diverging from the presidential oath of office, which mandates the protection and defense of the Constitution. The shift in language suggests a move toward economic populism over constitutional adherence.

An analysis of the Presidential oath of office highlights that the President swears to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution rather than individual citizens.

Barack Obama's second inauguration features a verbal error during the swearing-in ceremony administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. Obama omits the pluralization of "States," saying "the United State of America," leading to a discussion about the legal validity of the oath and the lack of media coverage regarding the mistake.

The hosts criticize the practice of addressing Attorney General Eric Holder as "General," arguing it is a job title rather than a military rank. During his testimony, Holder gives an evasive answer regarding whether he is technically under oath, stating only that he has an "obligation to tell the truth." The hosts characterize this behavior as deceptive and typical of the administration.

The unusual second swearing-in of President Obama by Chief Justice John Roberts is discussed, following a mistake in the initial public oath. Details emerge regarding the Lincoln Bible, which was archived immediately after the public ceremony and was not present for the private re-swearing.
