The influx of approximately 60,000 people in a single day overwhelmed the local population of 80,000, prompting Spain to deploy the military. The hosts compare the situation to the U.S. southern border, noting the prevalence of military-age males and the role of social media in spreading "open door" misinformation.

While authorities initially suggested a cyberattack or "induced atmospheric vibration," technical analysis points to a 15-gigawatt drop in power from France following a substation fire. The event highlights the risks of over-reliance on inverter-based renewables like solar and wind, which lack the stability of nuclear or gas base loads.
