## About this episode

The global media cycle shifts from the Jade Helm 15 military exercises in Texas to the international outcry over Cecil the Lion, killed by an American dentist in Zimbabwe. This controversy exposes the friction between the trophy hunting industry and conservation groups like the Born Free Foundation. Meanwhile, Donald Trump faces a coordinated media offensive as Rolling Stone revives decades-old allegations from Ivana Trump, a move appearing to synchronize with the Bill Cosby scandal to neutralize his political momentum.

Planned Parenthood faces renewed scrutiny following undercover footage from the Center for Medical Progress featuring whistleblower Holly O'Donnell and StemExpress. The testimony details the harvesting of fetal organs, prompting Republican leaders to demand a Department of Justice investigation. In the tech sector, a viral Jeep hacking stunt involving Wired magazine is revealed as a potential coordination with Chrysler to influence DMCA legislation. Simultaneously, the United Nations faces a deadlock as Russia vetoes an international tribunal for the MH17 flight disaster, drawing sharp condemnation from Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop.

Personal authenticity takes center stage as the hosts address the challenges of broadcasting with Tourette’s syndrome and the homogeneity of vocal tones in modern podcasting. From the failed attempt to finance an Airstream trailer in Buda to the social pressures of living in Freiburg, Germany, the program highlights the human side of the value-for-value model. The segment concludes with a look at the lawless high seas and the aggressive manure-dumping protests of French farmers.
