Intelligence figures like Andrew Napolitano and Dennis Kucinich describe a military-industrial-intel axis utilizing illegal leaks and surveillance to sabotage the Trump administration's foreign policy. This internal power struggle mirrors historical tensions between the CIA and past presidents like JFK and Nixon. In the wake of the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, Adele’s tribute to Beyoncé and Busta Rhymes’s labeling of the President as Agent Orange highlight a deepening cultural divide. Meanwhile, Yvette Felarca of BAMN defends the violent shutdown of Milo Yiannopoulos at UC Berkeley, while legal scholar Akhil Reed Amar explores how the Ninth Amendment protects unenumerated rights. Internationally, Geert Wilders leads Dutch polls as Austria tightens border controls at the Spielfeld crossing, threatening the future of the Schengen zone. The Pentagon also admitted to using 5,000 rounds of depleted uranium in Syria, reversing previous denials regarding the long-term health impacts of these munitions. From the aggressive Tom turkeys of the Bay Area to Al Sharpton’s teleprompter struggles with the phrase resist we much, the human element of the week remains chaotic. Baron Bill of the Verde Valley joins the producer ranks after fleeing California’s taxes, while the hosts perform a rain stick ceremony to combat New Zealand bushfires. The program concludes with a look at the global sand mining industry and the cybersecurity risks of autonomous vehicles as potential tools for terrorism. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
