The hosts argue that media outlets are struggling to transition the public's focus from COVID-19 to climate change. They analyze a segment from Molly Jong-Fast's "The New Abnormal" podcast, where a reporter suggests that all journalists must learn to write about climate change as advocates. The hosts characterize this as a shift from reporting to overt punditry and propaganda.

Vice President Kamala Harris proposed an expanded child tax credit of $6,000 for the first year of a child's life, a move similar to a $5,000 proposal by JD Vance. Media reactions are criticized for labeling Vance's proposal as "authoritarian natalism" while praising Harris's version. Harris also emphasized her past employment at McDonald's to connect with middle-class voters.
