A video from a Seattle protest features a woman delivering a profanity-laced speech against white supremacy, capitalism, and the US empire. The speaker, who identifies herself as a preschool teacher, demands that white people "pay up" with their money and lives for social change. The hosts express shock that an individual with such extreme views is responsible for teaching young children.
Seattle Police conducted specialized training in a warehouse to prepare for anticipated May Day protests involving aggressive demonstrators and anarchist groups. Officers practiced crowd control techniques to facilitate marches while preparing for potential violence from "black bloc" participants.

The segment also references viral YouTube footage of topless protesters in New York City. The hosts mock the robotic nature of local news drones who fail to process the absurdity of their own scripts.
