Investigative reporter Greg Palast alleged that over 500,000 Bernie Sanders supporters in California were at risk of losing their votes due to complex "No Party Preference" (NPP) rules. Palast claimed voters had to use specific "magic words" like "crossover ballot" to receive a presidential ballot. The hosts dispute this, arguing that poll workers are generally helpful and the report is a skewed exaggeration of standard procedures.

FEMA and the CDC have reportedly ordered millions of dollars in emergency supplies for Region 3, coinciding with a planned large-scale power grid simulation in November. Investigative journalist Greg Palast recently highlighted a 1997 memo from Timothy Geithner to Larry Summers regarding WTO financial negotiations. The memo is cited by critics as evidence of a long-term plan to deregulate global banking and enable the derivatives market.

The book "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" by Greg Palast highlights the failure of mainstream American media to conduct deep investigative reporting. Palast's work on the scrubbing of black voters from Florida eligibility lists in 2004 is cited as an example of critical news that is often ignored in favor of "packaged" stories and press releases.
