## About this episode

The David Petraeus scandal deepens as new theories link the CIA director's downfall to a covert weapons smuggling operation between Benghazi and Syrian rebels. Paula Broadwell, Jill Kelly, and Natalie Kawam emerge as central figures in a narrative involving the FBI-CIA rivalry and unauthorized disclosures regarding the Benghazi annex. President Obama continues to defend UN Ambassador Susan Rice against Senate opposition led by John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

Global unrest intensifies as coordinated general strikes across Spain, Portugal, and Greece protest severe austerity measures while the BBC reports on violent clashes in Madrid. In China, the Communist Party completes its leadership transition to Xi Jinping, notably shrinking the Standing Committee to seven members. Financial analyst Marc Faber warns of a total global reset, predicting a 50% asset devaluation driven by unsustainable debt levels and market-forced corrections. Meanwhile, a massive neighborhood explosion in Indianapolis draws federal scrutiny from the DHS and NTSB, sparking skepticism over the official natural gas explanation.

Cornel West delivers a blistering critique of the Obama administration on Democracy Now, while Chuck Woolery and Miss Texas Holly Gardner advocate for the Second Amendment. The hosts also explore the scientific discovery of oxytocin as a monogamy hormone, jokingly rebranded as No-Stray Spray. This episode features executive producers Mark Dytham and Dame Astrid alongside a special report on the USS Liberty from Donald P. Gregg.
