## About this episode

Professor Jamie Pennebaker of the University of Texas at Austin joins the program to reveal how his Linguistic Inquiry Word Count software analyzes the 2016 presidential field. Using data developed for the CIA and FBI, Pennebaker identifies Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders as the most truthful candidates while labeling Donald Trump and Ben Carson as the least intelligent based on speech patterns. The analysis further predicts Marco Rubio will secure the Republican nomination due to specific linguistic markers found in his public addresses.

Global tensions rise as Egyptian and British intelligence offer conflicting reports on the crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 in the Sinai Peninsula. While official narratives focus on an ISIS-planted bomb, evidence suggests the Russian airliner may have been caught in the crossfire of the Blue Flag military exercise involving the United States and Israel. Simultaneously, UK Home Secretary Theresa May introduces the Investigatory Powers Bill, a sweeping piece of legislation requiring internet service providers to store the browsing history of all citizens for one year while legalizing government hacking of private devices.

The cultural divide deepens as a dinner party debate over white privilege and climate change adaptation turns volatile. Amidst reports of rising mortality rates among middle-aged white Americans, Hillary Clinton commits a notable gaffe by suggesting former presidents should not have to disclose criminal records under Ban the Box legislation. The program concludes with a knighting ceremony for Sir Tim Abel and a warning regarding the Dutch Hunger Winter as a historical parallel for modern economic instability.

A viral video featuring Latino children using profanity against Donald Trump is analyzed as a potential "dirty trick." While the "Deport Racism" group offers $5,000 to disrupt Trump's Saturday Night Live appearance, the hosts suggest the campaign's code points to Hillary Clinton's super PAC or could even be a Republican-led effort to make the opposition look bad.

### 13. Mighty Men of Valor, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (1:01:18–1:09:36)
