The administration's use of year-over-year CPI data is criticized as a "flim-flam" that masks the total increase in costs since 2020. Biden also targeted corporate profit margins and tax avoidance as drivers of inflation. The segment highlights a gaffe where Biden confused millions and billions regarding corporate profits and falsely claimed Republicans were responsible for food bank lines during the pandemic.

The Mueller Report confirmed that two Florida counties were "hacked" during the 2016 election, though Governor Ron DeSantis clarified that the intrusion was a phishing scam that did not change any results.

A KTVU news report is characterized as a "hit piece" against FBI Director Christopher Wray for the bureau's failure to act on tips regarding Nikolas Cruz.
