In this episode, the panel explains the historical dynamics of the explosion of crime in South Africa's townships. It then gives some context on the mega-deal being negotiated between Paramount and Warner Brothers/Discovery and contrasts that with the failing economic model of the BBC. Gabriel Makin explains what happens at a DA Congress, the next which is being held later this month and where the party will elect a new leader. He also highlights an interview he conducted with Nicholas Nyati, who is running for a senior position in the party. Gabriel tells the panel about a number of interesting resolutions Nyathi has brought which will be voted on at the DA congress. The episode closes with two major US stories, an 8–1 ruling from the US Supreme Court with significant free speech implications, and new tax data revealing the economic impact of internal migration across the United States.
