Matthew Leshak, a former crime reporter for the New York Daily News and author of "Fiat Food," joins the program to discuss the 1971 economic shift. Leshak argues that the decoupling of the dollar from gold serves as the connective tissue between modern health crises, military expansion, and societal decay. His research suggests that mainstream media avoids the specific link between monetary policy and the quality of the American food supply.

The discussion explores how metadata allows authorities to predict civil unrest, coups, and assassinations. Clyde Lewis and Greg Carlwood discuss the "Minority Report" style of pre-crime and how entertainment media is tailored to reflect the public's current emotional state. They suggest that the internet, once seen as a tool for freedom, has become a primary source for gathering data to be used against the population.

The hosts discuss a controversial YouTube video purportedly showing a naked Tamerlan Tsarnaev being taken into custody alive, contradicting the official story of his death. They also touch on the concept of "pre-crime" and the difficulty of identifying "lone wolf" actors in a free society.
