Brennan's research suggests that "high-information" voters—often those most influenced by mainstream media—tend to favor globalism, free trade, and higher taxes. The hosts contrast this with "hyper-informed" individuals who may return to populist or nationalist views.

This trend is described as a cynical byproduct of big data and media influence, where polls are treated as immutable facts. The segment also briefly mentions DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's frequent media appearances to explain the complex primary and super-delegate system.
