TOM LUONGO: The EU is broke and they think they will drain the US of its capital through fines, regulations, and bullying. That's why Trump needs to win. This, if for nothing else.

JOHN SCHRODER, NYFD: I look down to my right and the elevator's exploded like something out of a Bruce Willis Die Hard movie. People just come running out of the elevator on fire, a fireball, I mean what is going on here? Some'in's up here. I mean the planes up there, now there's fire down here?

ANDREW HEATON:


35:50  What exactly is the causal mechanism that connects social media with this tribalism? 

35:55  Great question. 

38:25  The period we're living in right now is most akin to when the printing press was invented.  When Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses, whether you're Catholic or you're Protestant, most historians would agree that Martin Luther's ideas were not actually new.  They'd been promulgated by prior thinkers like John Wycliffe and others.  The difference was that previously, those ideas could be snuffed out by a very potent gatekeeper.  Once the printing press came out, you now had the ability to disseminate and promulgate  ideas before the gatekeepers can catch them, and it resulted in this very chaotic time where basically the worldview of Europe was settled at swordpoint because there wasn't this gatekeeper anymore.  I think we're living in a very similar time like that where the gatekeepers are toothless.  On top of that, because we use social media.  A lot of mechanisms we have in our minds that make us self-censor.

Heaton's podcast is called Political Orphanage.

LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE: I was miraculously healed of long term depression three years ago . . . carnivore diet has kept it away.

Robert Roberson, 57, a Texas man, lost his 2-year-old baby girl in 2002 due to the harmful complications from childhood vaccines his daughter was given when he was a young father, and the police charged him with his baby's death.  The chief investigator charged Roberson with "shaken baby syndrome," a now-debunked diagnosis. Why debunked now? Because the real culprits are the vaccines. So why indict a young father for a horrifically violent act that goes against everything natural that a living father would do? Because the vaccine manufacturers needed a ruse, a trick, a lie, that the industry could pin on parents to protect the vaccine makers from liability over known serious physical harms that destroy the spirit.  We have failed as a species.  But we will rise and we will fight.  Lawmen are always out to put young men, and old men, in jail.  And if Roberson is executed today, Brian Wharton, the lead detective in the case, could suffer lifelong depression for being responsible for Roberson's conviction.  Young men don't know that the deck is stacked against them.
