There's a lot happing in the world today. You've got the Scalia death and the fight for the nominee to replace him. You've got the leading Oil exporters trying to broker a deal to cap oil production, Donald Trump is threatening to sue Ted Cruz and Monopoly just came out with it's new "Ultimate Bankers Addition".

They all seem like random news stories, but each one of these stores adds to our understanding of the world as a whole. When viewed only as isolated events you miss the bigger picture.

I am constantly asking new listeners to go and download the last ten episodes of the show. I do this because this show is designed to help you understand how the pieces fit together and provide you a complete picture of the world in which we live.

Today, each of the news items in the stack has a direct tie to something else we've talked about in the last ten episodes. It is the clearest evidence I can provide to make the case for the ten episode challenge.

Enjoy
