## About this episode

The assassination of British MP Jo Cox has triggered a suspension of Brexit campaigning as Prime Minister David Cameron and the Remain camp gain momentum ahead of the referendum. While Bloomberg analysts warn of a potential United Kingdom dissolution involving Scotland, the Swiss Upper House has officially withdrawn its 1992 application to the European Economic Area. These geopolitical shifts coincide with Belgian police conducting major terror raids in Molenbeek to secure the Euro 2016 tournament against imminent threats.

Domestic tensions rise as the FDA issues a safety warning for the antipsychotic Abilify, linking the drug to compulsive gambling and hypersexuality. In the wake of the Pulse nightclub shooting, FBI sources indicate Omar Mateen consulted medical professionals about his prescriptions during the attack, yet major networks like CBS and ABC remain silent on pharmaceutical links. Meanwhile, CIA Director John Brennan testified to the Senate that ISIS remains a formidable global threat, contradicting White House optimism, as declassified documents reveal Al-Qaeda suspect Abu Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times despite early cooperation.

Vladimir Putin addressed the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, clarifying that he viewed Donald Trump as bright rather than brilliant while questioning the modern necessity of NATO. The episode features a look back at the early internet era, including the registration of MTV.com and the acquisition of Budweiser.com for a case of beer. Gayle King draws scrutiny for her woman-person description of Hillary Clinton, and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is noted for his recent string of Hollywood cameos.
