## About this episode

Geert Wilders and Donald Trump face a coordinated media campaign as CNN and The Guardian attempt to frame the rise of European nationalism as a dangerous authoritarian trend. The Dutch politician, often labeled the Dutch Trump, is the latest target of a Bill Weir report that mischaracterizes the Netherlands' immigration history to manufacture a narrative of xenophobia. Meanwhile, the Pentagon’s leaked priority list conspicuously omits Russia as a top threat, contradicting the frantic warnings from Senator John McCain regarding the unraveling of the world order.

Senator John McCain and the military-industrial complex continue to push for a proxy war with Russia, despite NBC being forced to retract claims that the Kremlin orchestrated a massive October internet outage. Former Reagan official Paul Craig Roberts warns of a potential CIA-led coup against the incoming administration, while protesters in Wisconsin use Game of Thrones chants to disrupt the Electoral College vote. In the digital space, Snopes founder David Mikkelson faces embezzlement allegations involving high-priced escorts as the fact-checking site is accused of parsing data to protect liberal narratives regarding California’s popular vote totals.

Angela Rye and Kayleigh McEnany clash on CNN over the historical origins of the Electoral College, while Nurse Caitlin sends a gift of edible ants to the studio. The episode concludes with a look at the Berlin Christmas market attack, where the suspicious discovery of a suspect's ID mirrors previous high-profile terror events.
