The hosts criticize independent commentator Jimmy Dore for his coverage of the Dutch provincial elections. They argue that the "Farmer Citizen Movement" (BBB) is not a grassroots victory for farmers but a marketing creation of big agriculture and chemical companies, accusing Dore of blindly trusting New York Times reporting.

The Dutch Farmers-Citizen Movement (BBB) recently won 17 seats in the government, but skepticism remains regarding their true agenda. While journalists like Michael Shellenberger and outlets like Zero Hedge praised the victory, the party appears to support "New World Order" concepts such as tiny homes and restrictive nitrogen policies. The movement is characterized as a potential scam against voters.

The Boer Burger Beweging (BBB) party achieved a massive victory in the Dutch provincial elections, securing approximately 33% to 35% of the vote. Despite its branding as a grassroots farmer-citizen movement, the party was co-founded by marketing professionals Wim Groot Koerkamp and Martijn Voortman of Remarkable.nl. These individuals have extensive ties to big agriculture and biotech firms like Bayer and Monsanto, leading to claims that the party is a corporate shill using "Build Back Better" (BBB) branding.

The American Jobs Act includes the creation of the American Infrastructure Financing Authority (AIFA), a government-backed investment bank. The legislation allows for projects with a "BBB minus" investment grade rating to receive federal financing, which is a lower standard than traditional high-grade investments. Loans for these projects feature 35-year repayment terms starting only after the substantial completion of construction.

An investigation by Mother Jones revealed that the Better Business Bureau (BBB) granted an "A" rating to a fictionalized listing for the group Hamas after a $425 fee was paid. This follows controversy regarding Glenn Beck's promotion of Goldline International, which also held a high BBB rating despite consumer complaints. The hosts argue that the BBB has become a "pay-to-play" certification agency rather than a legitimate consumer watchdog.
