## About this episode

Donald Trump delivered a sprawling, two-hour address at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) where he mocked the Green New Deal and the media's reaction to his past comments on Russia. Trump invoked the protectionist legacy of William McKinley to defend his tariff strategies while dismissing CNN's coverage of his sarcasm as a deliberate misrepresentation of his public speaking style.

The State Department has issued a $1 million bounty for Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden, as Saudi Arabia simultaneously revokes his citizenship. Intelligence officials like Ali Soufan claim the younger bin Laden is the new face of Al-Qaeda, though skeptics suggest the timing aligns with a secret Chinese military presence in Tajikistan. Meanwhile, in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces a deepening scandal involving SNC-Lavalin and allegations of bribery and the procurement of prostitutes for Libyan officials. In the United States, Washington State has legalized human composting, a process known as recomposition, as an alternative to traditional burial.

During a lively knighting ceremony, Sir Paul the Trusted Advisor and Dame G Money were recognized alongside thirteen-year-old entrepreneur Dominic Vitale. The show also explores the psychological toll on Facebook content moderators in Phoenix, who earn fifteen dollars an hour to review violent content while reportedly succumbing to the very conspiracy theories they are tasked with deleting. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the latest in value-for-value media.

A producer explains that the 2030 deadline frequently cited by climate activists is significant because major Western climate models begin to diverge sharply at that point.
