It was a momentous occasion, on this Thursday night broadcast, when Alex Plitsas came to visit the studio for the first time. After a brief opening, we welcome Alex to our broadcast home with a shot of bourbon, and then we're off to the races.

In which direction did we race? We saved this topic for a night like tonight: iPhone, Apple, Government Surveillance, and counter-terrorism.

Alex, being a person who has seen the proverbial sausage being made, gave us some key insight that really challenged all of our anti-Government knee-jerk reactions. We would love to hear your opinions on this segment!

After a break, we come back to talk about a recent article that Alex wrote about the sham that is the Benghazi hearings; namely, how progress is being blocked, and tax-payer dollars are being wasted, to protect a political party's darling (Hillary Clinton).

Is justice truly just an arbitrary concept to the ruling class in the America?

This was another fun, solid broadcast. We begin with a little more attention paid to the practice of painting people into demographics, and then subsequent whoring that ensues between politicians and special interest groups; which then opens up a bigger conversation on how leaders of these movements make their money, and why solving problems isn't really beneficial to them.

Then we look into a some comments Frank received on Tumblr regarding a certain Bernie Sanders article shared. That opens up a larger conversation on how people really believe that the online life they've created around themselves is the a reflection of the bigger picture in the country.

From there we hit up probably the slimiest Town Hall Hillary Clinton has done yet, including commentary on the issue of race.

Featuring great calls from GadgetDoc on Foreign Issues; and Max Ancaporado, with some statistics on gun control.

In this Episode we go over all of the reasons why people's disdain for the Trump Train is only a knee-jerk reaction to how we have been trained to see American politics. What is the real difference between Trump and Hillary, and Bernie Sanders for that matter?

We take that straight on from the moment we get started, until we reach the end, blasting through so many of the topics, and links, and headlines we weren't able to do in the last few episodes. It was a classic INFO DUMP!

With Matt, and even Anthony joining in at the end, we put a bow on this and called it a good night. See you for the next live show Wednesday night at 7pm.

Sorry for the short description, I uploaded this way late and just needed to get it out.

Frank spends the first 11 minutes of the show talking with Matt about life in general. It was a good talk, small talk; a bridge into something a little more long-winded: Hillary Clinton's team calls Bullshit on Bernie Sanders claiming to have won the Hispanic vote in Nevada. This leads into a brief talk about how political pandering to demographics is some of the most subtle ways to dehumanize a person.

Max Ancaporado calls in to talk a little bit about voting and then we cover topics of a Sandy Hook lawsuit against gun manufacturers for the shooting; and then we begin talking about how College Kids are failing classes because school is interfering with their activism 'work.' We will definitely finish that one on Tuesday, along with everything else that we couldn't fit in between Frank's constant rambling.

Less than a minute long. Just a little thought I had over weekend. I'd like to start doing more of these.

In this extra-long, super chill episode, we start off by talking about how studies have shown that most people vote for political candidates based on snap judgement based on the looks, and not policy ideas.

Then we go on a long ride talking with GadgetDoc, not only updating our election predictions, but then we talk Tarot!

GadgetDoc does live Tarot readings for Frank, Matt, Max, Moonlit Mat, and Anthony.

It was a good ride, and since it is the weekend, I am not going to bore you with a description longer than this.

In this episode, we start by checking a few of the headlines and then focusing in on the three epicenters of power in the world— starting with the Pope, in The Vatican. The Pope runs right into immigration, which then runs right into some bad dreams that I've been having.

Next, questions as to why we may be so prone to being driven by politics and social issues. After that, we put on our Social Justice Warrior goggles: Does education have something to do with how reactive we are? Does the arbitrary admittance of a silly pop culture buzzword (cisgender) into the Dictionary, really legitimize the slang?

Matt joins the show late and commits to his usual extremist silliness; and we eventually end on a painful note while examining the details of the latest War on Women issue at Starbucks...in Saudi Arabia.

In this episode Scotty Milan joins Frank and Matt for what turns out to be another fantastic talk. Oddly enough, religion becomes the topic of conversation early on when Scotty mentions how he grew up in a Jewish Temple, although he himself is not Jewish.

We took trips through history, modern society, and came to some good conclusions. but also came to some more questions to be asked as well. In either case, if you listen to it you'll know what's in it. I don't know why I waste my time writing these fucking descriptions sometimes, but tradition is very important to me.

Someone tweet at me to let me know if you read this far. I don't believe anyone reads the descriptions, but I think I read somewhere that you need to write in at least a couple hundred characters to give your channel legitimacy or something like that. I don't know.

In this episode, we start off by freshening our memories to some very relevant words that Barack Obama spoke, in 2006, concerning the nomination process for Supreme Court Justices. We take that conversation right into reading of the latest article, written by Alex Plitsas, on Antonin Scalia.

With Alex Plitsas on the phone, we are able to talk a little bit about Antonin Scalia's life, the Judicial process in the United States, and the murky details surrounding Scalia's death.

In the second half, Max Ancaporado calls in to talk a little aliens, and a little bit about releasing the Kraken. We end with the shocking study which shows that—get this—government subsidizing of college education actually causes tuition to go up! *gasp* Who woulda thunk it?

The death of Judge Scalia is only the surprise beginning of yet another piece of political theater, which will unfold throughout the year. In this episode, we hit on just the initial reactions.

In the second half of this episode, Frank and Matt take a call from Jonny Vroom to discuss just a little bit more about the weight of Judge Scalia's death, including the few shady details about the incident which open doors to talks of conspiracy.

We only scratched the surface; more to come tomorrow, along with the headlines.
