The conversation shifted to breaking news about a suspicious package discovered outside Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation hearing, which was occurring live during the broadcast. FreedomToons discussed his recent satirical cartoon about Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey censoring the New York Post's Hunter Biden story, portraying Dorsey as a selective bouncer who blocks legitimate news while allowing sensational claims.
