The hosts note that RT hosts diverse viewpoints, including the progressive Tom Hartmann Show, which contradicts claims that the network is purely a monolith for Putin. Former CIA Director James Woolsey is cited regarding the conflation of leaked emails with "disinformation."

John C. Dvorak revisits his theory of a 40-year economic cycle, predicting a major depression in late 2016 or 2017. He suggests that while Brexit caused a temporary market drop, it may not be the final triggering event. Future referendums in countries like Sweden (Swexit) or the Netherlands (Nexit) are identified as potential catalysts for a larger collapse.
