Scott Fairlamb, a former MMA fighter known as "Wildman," pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer during the January 6th Capitol riot.

The Department of Homeland Security claims Russian hackers have infiltrated the US power grid via spear-phishing. Simultaneously, the BBC is investigating Arron Banks, a major Brexit donor, alleging his wealth may be linked to Russian diamond investments. The hosts note the media's frequent use of the phrase "without any proof" when reporting on Trump's claims while making their own evidence-free assertions about Russia.

The March for Our Lives protest in Washington, D.C., following the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, is analyzed as a highly effective media propaganda event. While the students' demands for "common sense" gun laws—such as raising the purchase age to 21 and banning bump stocks—are noted, the event is characterized as a "meme fest" of scripted one-liners. The involvement of politicians like Amy Klobuchar as CNN co-hosts is cited as evidence of the political exploitation of grieving youth.

Legal experts and journalists discuss the implications of Michael Flynn's cooperation with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. While Flynn faces potential jail time for false statements, the hosts argue the investigation is being used by the media to create a narrative of collusion despite a lack of evidence. The suspension of Brian Ross is highlighted as a rare instance of high-level disciplinary action for journalistic malpractice.

The hosts identify "whipsaws" in CBS News reporting, where an anchor's assertion is followed by a clip that fails to support the claim. Examples include reports on Senator Tom Cotton potentially becoming CIA Director and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's relationship with President Trump. The segments are criticized for being lazy, non-sequitur journalism.
