## About this episode

President Donald Trump revoked the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, sparking a fierce debate over the weaponization of access in Washington D.C. Retired Admiral William McRaven and former analyst Ray McGovern offer clashing perspectives on whether these credentials represent a constitutional right or a lucrative private-sector commodity. The administration’s move coincides with a coordinated editorial campaign by hundreds of American newspapers to challenge the White House's rhetoric regarding the press.

Erik Prince appeared on MSNBC to pitch a privatization plan for the war in Afghanistan, claiming a small force of contractors could replace the current $62 billion annual expenditure. Meanwhile, Google employees are revolting against Project Dragonfly, a censored search engine designed to meet Beijing’s surveillance requirements. In the tech sector, Elon Musk faces scrutiny over his Tesla privatization tweets following claims from rapper Azealia Banks, while Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig pushes for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to bypass the Electoral College. Environmental reports from the EWG regarding glyphosate in oatmeal and California hurricane scares are analyzed against historical data from the 1930s.

John C. Dvorak delivers a scathing review of Avengers: Infinity War, labeling it the worst film ever made while praising the Deadpool franchise. The show explores the Dutch culinary festival using red dots to help attendees evade AI-powered facial recognition cameras. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also break down the 'Poop Police' crisis in San Francisco through a custom musical parody to close the session.
