A host introduces the acronym "ASTCO" (Asshole Seeking to Control Others) to describe people obsessed with governing others' lives. They argue that most Americans simply want to be left alone but have become apathetic toward local governance like school boards and PTAs. This apathy, they claim, allows radical groups to change society "under their noses," as seen in Europe.
