Donald Trump Jr. sparked a firestorm by tweeting a graphic comparing Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles containing three poisonous candies. Skittles' parent company, Wrigley, issued a statement distancing itself from the analogy. Media outlets like The Intercept and ABC News attempted to link the analogy to 1930s Nazi propaganda, while State Department spokesperson John Kirby admitted that the potential for terrorists to infiltrate refugee populations is a legitimate concern.

The Chicago Cubs' first-ever home playoff series win at Wrigley Field is discussed in the context of their 107-year championship drought. The hosts note the "prophecy" in the film "Back to the Future Part II," which predicted a Cubs World Series win in 2015. They joke that the team's success might be a elaborate promotion for the film's anniversary on October 21st.

Despite public rhetoric about strict sanctions, the hosts point out that U.S. companies like Kraft Foods and Wrigley are permitted to export consumer goods like ice cream sprinkles and bodybuilding supplements to Iran. They suggest the recent diplomatic thaw might be a "fig leaf" to appease the European Union during TTIP trade negotiations.

A report from New Zealand details the case of Abigail Cormack, who suffered symptoms resembling multiple sclerosis due to an addiction to aspartame-laden chewing gum. The hosts discuss the controversial history of aspartame's approval, alleging that Donald Rumsfeld used political influence to get the additive cleared by the FDA after it was repeatedly rejected. They also mock Rumsfeld's upcoming "Defender of the Constitution" award at CPAC.
