History professor Molly Worthen's book "Apostles of Reason" is introduced, sparking a discussion on the media's portrayal of evangelicalism. The hosts analyze segments from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert regarding Dave Brat's primary victory over Eric Cantor, noting the late-night hosts' tendency to mock religious expressions. The "war on religion" is framed as a political tool used to categorize and marginalize conservative voters.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor suffers a historic primary defeat to Tea Party challenger Dave Brat in Virginia. Despite Cantor outspending Brat by a massive margin, the "little-known" professor secured the victory with minimal funding. The hosts note that this result challenges the narrative that the Koch brothers can simply buy American elections.

The hosts analyze C-SPAN footage of President Obama discussing the Affordable Care Act with Republicans like Eric Cantor. They highlight a specific instance where Obama claimed the law's regulations would only apply to new plans on the exchanges, not existing private plans.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is mocked for a slip of the tongue on Meet the Press, where he appeared to say "hard fart primary" instead of "hard-fought." The hosts use the clip to transition into a discussion about the results of the Virginia Republican primary and the performance of Ron Paul.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced the postponement of all legislative activity, including a scheduled vote to repeal the Health Care Act, following the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. President Obama delivered a televised response to the tragedy while positioned beneath a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, an assassinated president. The hosts suggest the visual staging was a subtle, perhaps subconscious, message intended to resonate with the public during a time of national mourning.

### Bill Clinton Wolf Blitzer Interview and Political Violence

In a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer, Bill Clinton warns of a "vast echo chamber" on the internet that could incite unstable individuals to violence. Clinton draws parallels between current anti-government rhetoric and the atmosphere preceding the Oklahoma City bombing. He specifically mentions threats against President Obama and Republican Whip Eric Cantor, which the hosts interpret as a coded attack on the Tea Party movement.
