A review of Barry Goldwater's 1964 acceptance speech reveals surprising rhetoric about an "Atlantic civilization" and a "mighty system" linking the Americas. The hosts contrast this globalist-sounding language with Goldwater's reputation as a hardline conservative and member of the John Birch Society.

During her meeting with activists, Hillary Clinton referred to slavery as the "original sin" of the United States. The hosts note the emergence of this specific phrase in political rhetoric.

National Security Advisor Susan Rice suggests that mothers and girls are the most effective voices in identifying signs of radicalization within families.

Adam Curry introduces a new "meme" regarding the term "civil society," which he heard Amy Goodman use repeatedly during a climate conference in Doha.
