The term "gravitas" is analyzed as a media buzzword used to describe political figures like William Barr and formerly Bill Clinton. Greg Jarrett of Fox Business expresses concern that Barr is an establishment figure rather than a disruptor. Yamiche Alcindor's reporting on PBS is critiqued for its presentation style while acknowledging her summary of Barr's deep state credentials.

The hosts examine political catchphrases used by the Democratic Party, such as "gravitas" and "speaking truth to power." They trace the origins of the "truth to power" phrase back to a 1955 Quaker pamphlet and its later use by Anita Hill. Adam Curry jokingly proposes a "Truth-to-Power Ratio" (TPR) as a metric for measuring political authenticity.
