The hosts counter this by playing clips of Bill Clinton using the term "illegal aliens" extensively in his 1996 State of the Union address. They discuss how the Associated Press (AP) style guide has shifted toward "undocumented," while "illegal alien" remains the official legal term used by the U.S. government.

By editorializing content, they may lose "safe harbor" protections under the DMCA. The hosts also mock Uber's refusal to obtain autonomous vehicle permits in California and note the AP Stylebook's new requirement to call these companies "ride-hailing" rather than "ride-sharing" services.

Adams argues that the AP-1000 design is inherently safe and lacks the flaws that led to the Chernobyl disaster. The hosts highlight Gunderson's history of "absurd statements" and contrast his media-friendly alarmism with Adams' technical expertise from his time on nuclear submarines.

They discuss how PR firms place "native advertising" stories in the news, such as a story about orangutans using iPads, which they link to the promotional cycle for a Planet of the Apes movie.

The segment covers a bizarre news story about a blind driver in Berkeley who killed a professor while allegedly eating macaroni and cheese. Finally, the hosts express disgust over a PBS program featuring animal mating and porcupine masturbation, labeling it "bestiality."

Specifically, the Second Amendment is summarized as "The people have the right to keep and bear arms in a state militia," which the hosts argue fundamentally changes its meaning. They identify the author as John J. Newman and question the academic standards of such preparatory materials.

The students largely support the government's actions, citing national security as more important than press freedom, which the hosts call "the future of slaves."

Simultaneously, an Organization of American States (OAS) study on drug policy was widely misreported by the AP as a call for legalization. Analysis shows that hundreds of media outlets ran the exact same AP headline without verifying the actual content of the 200-page report.

The hosts encourage listeners to find original research papers and legislative text rather than relying on interpretations from tech blogs like Wired.

Romney's defense—that Kaufman is an advisor but not "running" the campaign—is dismissed by the hosts as semantic dodging. The segment also covers Romney's press secretary, Eric Fehrnstrom, berating the journalist for his "unprofessional" questioning.

The hosts suggest the pharmaceutical industry is "gearing up for a bonanza" by lowering diagnostic thresholds for the disease. They also play a clip from the TV show Glee that portrays parents who don't vaccinate their children as "hippies."
