Former NSA official William Binney explains the "Stellar Wind" program, a repository of data on U.S. citizens. Binney describes how the NSA, CIA, and FBI have direct access to these databases to target political figures, judges, and members of Congress. Jones links this technical background to the current criminal referrals against Obama-era officials.

The resignation of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is analyzed as a takedown by the progressive left rather than conservatives. Cuomo is described as a "political realist" and a "thug" who was removed via a Me Too scandal to clear the way for more radical candidates. The discussion touches on his handling of nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic and the history of sex scandals involving New York Democratic officials like Eliot Spitzer.
