The Cruz campaign sent emails urging Carson supporters to switch their votes based on a CNN report about Carson returning to Florida. Cruz apologized to Carson but defended the accuracy of the report, while CNN claimed Cruz was misrepresenting their coverage.

The recurring media narrative of "empty seats" at Donald Trump's South Carolina events is characterized as a potential political dirty trick. The segment draws parallels to the Nixon era, where activists used public humiliation tactics to undermine candidates. The hosts argue that these "memes" are coordinated efforts by the media to signal a decline in a candidate's popularity.
