Researcher Brian Chow uncovered a $21 billion "racial wealth transfer" created through COVID-era health equity incentives (HEI). These programs allegedly pay medical providers more for treating Hispanic and Black patients while providing less care to White and Asian patients to reduce "health disparities."

The Department of Justice is ending the "China Initiative," a Trump-era program designed to counter Chinese theft of American trade secrets. Civil rights groups argued the program amounted to racial profiling of Asian American scientists, leading the Biden administration to scrap it.

A supercut illustrates the media's constant use of "the Civil War" as a benchmark for modern events. Anchors and politicians have claimed both the January 6th riot and new state voting laws are the "greatest threat to democracy since the Civil War." The hosts mock this repetitive hyperbole, noting that the media uses the same script for entirely different subjects.
