A donor known as Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch sent a contribution including a brand new Chinese Yuan note and a weathered Pakistani Rupee, sparking speculation about international travel or intelligence "code." The accompanying note praised an article on Saul Alinsky and argued that the U.S. is a Republic designed to protect the minority from the "simple majority" rule currently sought in the Senate. The donor criticized the shift toward a "ruling junta" in modern American politics.

The segment also briefly mentions the suspicious death of Tanzanian President John Magufuli, who was a vocal COVID-19 skeptic.

Barack Obama's "Organizing for Action" (OFA) is identified as the primary force behind the current wave of anti-Trump protests.

Dr. Ben Carson's speech linked Hillary Clinton to Saul Alinsky, noting that Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals" includes a dedication to Lucifer. This sparked a media firestorm, with commentators on Bill Maher's program comparing the rhetoric to the climate preceding the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The hosts recall their own long-standing "Lucifer" nickname for Clinton, dating back to 2011.

The media's reaction to Sharon Angle telling Harry Reid "it's not going to do you any good to hit the girl" is analyzed. Pundits like Chris Matthews accused her of playing a "girl card," while the hosts view the remark as innocuous and suggest the outrage is a coordinated effort to marginalize her candidacy using Alinsky-style tactics.
