## About this episode

Donald Trump declared himself unshackled from the Republican establishment this week, launching aggressive attacks against House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator John McCain. The rift follows reports of an attempted GOP coup intended to replace Trump with Mike Pence to clear a path for a Ryan-Rubio ticket in 2020. Trump countered by threatening to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton, a move that dominated the second presidential debate.

Leaked Podesta emails from WikiLeaks have exposed deep-seated coordination between the Clinton campaign and major media figures at CNBC and Univision. Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri faced scrutiny over emails mocking Catholicism, while Donna Brazile allegedly leaked debate questions to the Democratic team in advance. Meanwhile, ABC News revealed that the State Department prioritized Friends of Bill for lucrative Haiti reconstruction contracts, benefiting donors like the Korean garment firm SEA. In the Red Sea, the USS Mason reportedly came under missile fire from Houthi-controlled territory, raising concerns of a manufactured pretext for deeper American military intervention in Yemen.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the hive-mind communication style of Clinton surrogates and the technical inconsistencies in the New York Times groper allegations. The duo explores the bizarre cultural shift of vasectomy parties and the extreme rhetoric of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. From the TurkStream pipeline accord to the arrest of Shailene Woodley on Facebook Live, this episode deconstructs the shambolic state of global geopolitics.

### 32. Cultural Anthropology and Appropriation, Violet Blue Interview (1:59:14–2:02:29)

An interview with podcaster Violet Blue on a PBS show is used to illustrate the extreme reach of "cultural appropriation" ideology. Blue, identifying as an anthropologist, suggests that studying other cultures for academic or financial benefit is a "sin." The hosts argue that this logic would destroy the entire field of cultural anthropology and the practical study of international business customs.

In the UK Parliament, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn repeatedly uses the word "shambolic" to describe Theresa May's handling of Brexit.

A Syrian terror suspect, Jaber al-Bakr, committed suicide in a Leipzig prison cell despite being under what was supposed to be round-the-clock surveillance.

### 36. Vasectomy Parties and Childless Families Trend (2:19:28–2:22:07)

A new social trend is discussed where young couples hold "vasectomy parties" or "car showers" to celebrate their decision not to have children. The hosts compare this to a similar phenomenon in the 1970s and characterize it as a "sick" social development. They suggest that anti-male sentiment and economic concerns are driving this "depression-era" behavior.

The hosts express skepticism about the "fishy" nature of the story, questioning how the rebels obtained cruise missiles and suggesting the events might be a setup for deeper U.S. military involvement in the region.

### 44. White Helmets and Syria No-Fly Zone Risks (2:52:19–2:55:33)

The "White Helmets" humanitarian group in Syria is analyzed as a propaganda tool funded by USAID and UK billionaires to push for a no-fly zone. Experts warn that implementing a no-fly zone would require 70,000 U.S. troops and would be an act of war against Russia. The hosts argue that "humanitarian safe zones" are merely a pretext for regime change.

### 48. October Surprise Expectations, Hillary Clinton Rant Tapes (3:03:46–3:05:56)

With less than four weeks until the election, the hosts anticipate a major "October Surprise."
