## About this episode

Donald Trump shakes up the 2016 presidential cycle as media analysts at Morning Joe label him a human IED capable of dismantling the GOP field. While Chuck Todd attempts to marginalize the campaign, Trump challenges official unemployment figures and utilizes populist rhetoric to bypass traditional gatekeepers. The hosts analyze his potential to trigger a political realignment ahead of a predicted economic collapse.

In South Carolina, the FBI investigates a manifesto on LastRhodesian.com linked to Charleston shooter Dylann Roof, though questions remain regarding the site's sudden appearance and stripped metadata. Rick Perry suggests the influence of the drug Suboxone played a role in the tragedy, while alternative theories emerge regarding the possible political assassination of State Senator Clementa Pinckney. Meanwhile, European Council President Donald Tusk calls an emergency summit as Greece faces a potential Eurozone exit and Deutsche Bank struggles with a Triple B Plus credit downgrade.

Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz debuts a distinctive hairstyle that inspires the creation of the mouffant, a bold mullet-bouffant hybrid. Actor Tommy Chong announces his second cancer battle as ABC News catches heat for misidentifying the legend as a mere reality show contestant. The segment wraps with a technical guide to searing sashimi-grade tuna and a warning about the rise of hexagonal geometry trends on Pinterest.

### 1. Virtual Patch Panels, Apple Store Visit, Podfather Discount (0:00–7:01)

A host describes the technical difficulties of reconfiguring a virtual audio patch panel at 1:30 in the morning. To resolve hardware issues, a visit to the Apple Store resulted in the purchase of a 27-inch Thunderbolt monitor and a new trackpad. During the transaction, the host unsuccessfully attempted to secure an educator discount by claiming the title of "Podfather" and showing a video of Steve Jobs.

President Obama defends his push for fast-track trade authority, arguing that the United States must write the rules of global trade before China does.

Activist Kevin Zeese outlines a four-step legislative strategy intended to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership by attaching Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) to an African trade bill.

Saudi Arabia and Russia signed an agreement in St. Petersburg to build up to 16 nuclear reactors under Russian supervision.

### 27. Dylann Roof, Suboxone Influence, Rick Perry Comments (1:35:52–1:43:27)

Republican candidate Rick Perry suggests that Charleston shooter Dylann Roof was under the influence of the drug Suboxone, a claim the hosts support.

The hosts argue that the role of pharmaceutical drugs in mass shootings is a scandal ignored by mainstream media due to advertiser interests.

The FBI and social media sleuths investigate a manifesto and website, LastRhodesian.com, attributed to Dylann Roof. The site, registered through a Russian registrar, contains 100 megabytes of photos and a political screed. The hosts question the authenticity of the site, noting that it appeared on Archive.org only after the shooting and that most EXIF data had been stripped from the images.

### 29. White Supremacist Code, 1488, Rhodesian Flag Imagery (1:48:57–1:52:32)

Analysis of the photos attributed to Dylann Roof reveals white supremacist symbols, including the code "1488" (representing the "14 words" and "Heil Hitler"). Roof is also seen wearing a patch of the Rhodesian flag, a symbol associated with white minority rule in Africa. The hosts note a historical connection to James Earl Ray, who also expressed interest in emigrating to Rhodesia.

### 30. Dylann Roof's Motives, University Target Claim, Friend Interview (1:52:33–1:58:01)

A friend of Dylann Roof claims in an interview that Roof's "primary target" was actually the University of South Carolina, not the Emanuel AME Church. The friend asserts that Roof never expressed racist views to him and seemed to be a "gamer" using terms like "primary target." The hosts find the discrepancy between the manifesto's focus on the church and the friend's account of a school target to be suspicious.

The Charleston shooting has reignited the debate over the Confederate flag and gun control, with President Obama calling for a "reckoning" on mass violence.

### 32. Clementa Pinckney Assassination Theory, Political Corruption (2:01:57–2:04:36)

Comedian Bill Maher and his guests suggest that Fox News and Matt Drudge are responsible for inspiring the Charleston shooter through "coded language." Maher compares the influence of Fox News to that of Anwar al-Awlaki, suggesting that if the U.S. drones terrorists for "inspiring" violence, the same logic could apply to media figures. The hosts condemn this rhetoric as dangerous and unhealthy.
