Homer and Dame continue the discussion around Debbie Long’s Medicaid fraud case, using a listener poll to explore how race shapes public assumptions, media coverage, mugshots, and the visibility of criminal allegations.

They dig deeper into claims of fraudulent billing, PPP loan misuse, overstated employee numbers, and whether the case reflects individual wrongdoing, broader industry practices, or selective enforcement. Dame connects the scrutiny of Black women to wider patterns of economic inequality and government accountability.

The show closes by tying those themes to federal spending priorities, contrasting support for elite projects with the lack of aid for Spirit Airlines and its 17,000 displaced workers. Homer and Dame argue everyday workers, especially in minority communities, are often left exposed while powerful institutions continue to receive protection.
