## About this episode

Hillary Clinton defended her $675,000 speaking fees from Goldman Sachs during a CNN Town Hall in Iowa, while Donald Trump accused Ted Cruz of using dirty tricks to manipulate caucus results. The political landscape shifts as Secretary of State John Kerry clarifies that Iran will receive $55 billion in released assets, far less than the $150 billion previously reported by the New York Times. These developments coincide with a rare meeting between Apple podcast executives and independent media creators in Austin to discuss the future of the iTunes ecosystem.

Secondary stories include the suspension of UN-led Syria peace talks in Geneva and the World Health Organization's admission that the link between Zika virus and microcephaly remains unproven. In the tech sector, Microsoft is testing underwater data centers to solve cooling challenges while the cybersecurity firm Norse Corp reportedly collapsed despite its live attack map remaining online. Domestic issues surfaced as military leaders testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee that women should register for the Selective Service draft. Meanwhile, the FBI investigation into Clinton's private email server faces new claims from author Dan Bongino regarding foreign intelligence compromises.

Jeb Bush provided a moment of campaign levity by asking a quiet audience to please clap after a rhetorical flourish. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct the week's media narratives, including a linguistic analysis of Clinton's word salad and the strange case of a passenger sucked out of a Daallo Airlines flight. The show concludes with a formal knighting ceremony for the value-for-value producers who keep the program independent.
