The hosts analyze the media's handling of the Tyree Nichols case, noting the delay in releasing the video to maximize public impact. They observe that the race of the five African American officers complicates the traditional racial narrative often seen in police brutality cases.

The St. Louis Police Chief's justification for using lethal force against Kajieme Powell is reviewed, specifically the claim that tasers are not 100% effective within 21 feet. The hosts suggest the entire situation is a "controlled scripted situation" designed to avoid a total breakdown of order while still serving the political goal of mobilizing voters. The irregular release of the full video by police is noted as a "twofer" strategy.

Comedian Katt Williams' stand-up routine is used to deconstruct the official narrative of the Boston Marathon bombing. Williams points out the contradictions in the police report regarding the shootout in the boat, noting that the suspect was unarmed despite the massive amount of gunfire directed at him. The hosts praise Williams for his "No Agenda" style analysis of media lies.
