Ben Shapiro, Eric Swalwell and Project 2025 Testimony
Ben Shapiro testified before a House committee, engaging in a sharp exchange with Representative Eric Swalwell over "Project 2025." Shapiro defended conservative positions on reducing bureaucracy and restructuring Social Security while dismissing claims that the project seeks to ban books on slavery. The hosts reflect on Shapiro's long career as a "fast-talking" intellectual.
Journalism as a Trade vs. Profession, J-Schools
The hosts expand on the idea that journalism's decline began when it moved from a creative trade to a standardized profession. They suggest that "J-schools" like Columbia produce "cogs" for a corporate machine, potentially making the industry easier for intelligence agencies to infiltrate, as seen in Project Mockingbird.
Platinum Plan Details, Criminal Justice and School Choice
The Trump Platinum Plan includes a "National Clemency Project" to address wrongful prosecutions and a commitment to school choice for every parent. The plan also focuses on specific health disparities, such as kidney disease and sickle cell anemia, while promising to bring manufacturing back to inner cities. Trump contrasts his "America First" approach with Joe Biden's support for foreign labor.
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School, Leaked Death Projection Model
An internal draft document from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health was leaked to the Washington Post, projecting 200,000 U.S. deaths by the end of June 2020. The lead researcher expressed confusion over how the unfinished model reached the press. The hosts link the institution to "Event 201," a pandemic exercise held in late 2019, suggesting the leak was intended to influence public policy against reopening.

The "Project Flicker" investigation into child pornography within the Pentagon is scrutinized for its unusually high number of suspects and potential for corruption. John C. Dvorak expresses skepticism regarding the feasibility of 5,000 employees accessing illegal content on highly monitored government networks. The discussion explores the possibility of evidence being planted by network administrators to facilitate blackmail or political removals, citing a similar case in the Oakland school district.
